< Первая книга Царств 30 >
1 И бысть приходящу Давиду и мужем его к Секелагу в день третий, и Амалик нападе на южную страну и на Секелаг, и порази Секелаг и сожже его огнем:
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
2 жен же и всех сущих в нем от мала до велика не умертвиша мужа ни жены, но плениша, и отидоша в путь свой.
And had taken the women captives, that [were] therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on their way.
3 И прииде Давид и мужие его во град, и се, сожжен бяше огнем, жены же их и сынове их и дщери их пленени быша.
So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, [it was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
4 И воздвиже Давид и мужие его глас свой и плакашася дондеже не бе в них силы ктому плакатися.
Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 И жены обе Давидовы пленени быша, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня, и Авигеа бывшая жена Навала Кармилскаго.
And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 И оскорбе Давид зело, яко совещашася людие камением побити его, яко скорбна бяше душа всех людий коегождо о сынех своих и о дщерех своих. И укрепися Давид о Господе Бозе своем,
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
7 и рече Давид ко Авиафару иерею сыну Авимелехову: принеси ефуд. И принесе Авиафар ефуд к Давиду.
And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
8 И вопроси Давид Господа, глаголя: пожену ли вслед полчища сего? И постигну ли их? И рече Господь: гони, яко постизая постигнеши их и избавляя избавиши.
And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
9 И иде Давид сам и шесть сот мужей с ним, и приидоша даже до потока Восорска, прочии же осташася:
So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10 и гна с четырми сты мужей, двести же мужей осташася, иже седоша об он пол потока Восорска.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 И обретоша мужа Египтянина на селе, и яша его, и приведоша его к Давиду, и даша ему хлеба, и яде, и напоиша его водою:
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
12 и даша ему часть смоквей, и яде, и укрепися дух его в нем, яко не яде хлеба и не пи воды три дни и три нощы.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk [any] water, three days and three nights.
13 И рече ему Давид: откуду еси, и чий еси ты? И рече отрок Египтянин: аз есмь раб мужа Амаликитянина, и остави мя господин мой, яко изнемогох днесь уже третий день:
And David said unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
14 и мы ходихом на юг до Хелефи и на Иудейския страны и на Гелвуй, и Секелагу пожгохом огнем.
We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15 И рече ему Давид: доведеши ли мя до полчища сего? И рече: кленися ми Богом, яко не убиеши мя и не предаси мя в руце господину моему, и доведу тя до полчища сего.
And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
16 (И клятся ему Давид: ) и приведе его онамо, и се, тии разсеяни быша по лицу всея земли, ядуще и пиюще и празднующе о всех корыстех великих, яже взяша от земли иноплеменничи и от земли Иудины.
And when he had brought him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 И прииде на них Давид, и изби их от утра даже до вечера и наутрие: и не спасеся от них муж, разве четыреста отрок, иже вседоша на велблюды и убежаша.
And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
18 И отя Давид вся елика взяша Амаликиты, и обе жены своя отя,
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
19 и не погибе им от мала даже до велика, и от корыстей, и даже до сынов и дщерей и даже до всех, яже взяша, и вся возврати Давид:
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
20 и взя Давид вся стада и паствины, и погна пред пленом: и плен оный нарицашеся сей плен Давидов.
And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David’s spoil.
21 И прииде Давид к двема стом мужем оставшымся ити вслед Давида, ихже посади на потоце Восорсте, и изыдоша на сретение Давиду и на сретение людем иже с ним: и прииде Давид до людий, и вопросиша его о мирных.
And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22 И отвещаша вси мужие пагубнии и лукавнии от мужей ратных ходивших с Давидом и реша: яко не гониша с нами, не дадим им от плена, егоже взяхом, но токмо кийждо жену свою и чада своя да возмут и возвратятся.
Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.
23 И рече Давид: не сотворите, братия моя, тако, повнегда предаде Господь нам и сохрани нас, и предаде Господь полчище сие нашедшее на ны в руки нашя:
Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
24 и кто послушает ваших словес сих? Яко не менши нас суть: понеже по части исходящаго на брань, тако будет часть седящаго при сосудех, по томужде разделятся.
For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
25 И бысть от дне того и выше, и бысть в повеление и на оправдание Израилю даже до дне сего.
And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
26 И прииде Давид в Секелаг, и посла старейшинам от корыстей Иудиных и искренним своим, глаголя: се, вам благословение от корыстей врагов Господних,
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
27 сущым в Вефсуре и в Раме южней и в Гефоре,
To [ them] which [were] in Beth-el, and to [them] which [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] which [were] in Jattir,
28 и во Ароире и во Аммаде, и во Сафе и во Есфифе и в Гефе,
And to [them] which [were] in Aroer, and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa,
29 и в Кинане и в Сафеце, и в Фимафе и в Кармиле, и сущым во градех Иеремиила и во градех Кенезия,
And to [them] which [were] in Rachal, and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Kenites,
30 и сущым во Иеримуфе и во Вирсавеи и в Номве,
And to [them] which [were] in Hormah, and to [them] which [were] in Chor-ashan, and to [them] which [were] in Athach,
31 и сущым в Хевроне, и во вся места, яже пройде Давид тамо сам и мужие его.
And to [them] which [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
