1 И бе муж от сынов Вениаминовых, емуже имя Кис, сын Авиилов, сына Иаредова, сына Вахирова, сына Афекова, сына мужа Иеминеова, муж силен крепостию.
And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor,
2 И сему бе сын, имя ему Саул, добровеличен, муж благ: и не бе в сынех Израилевых благ паче его, от рамен и выше высок паче всех людий.
and he has a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth and handsome, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel more handsome than he—from his shoulder and upward, higher than any of the people.
3 И заблудиша ослята Киса отца Саулова. И рече Кис к Саулу сыну своему: возми с собою единаго от отрок, и воставше идите и поищите ослят.
And the donkeys of Kish, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish says to his son Saul, “Now take one of the young men with you, and rise, go, seek the donkeys.”
4 И проидоша гору Ефремлю, и проидоша землю Селха, и не обретоша: и проидоша землю Сегалимлю, и не бе: и проидоша землю Иаминю, и не обретоша.
And he passes over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passes over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found [them]; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passes over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found [them].
5 И пришедшым им в землю Сифову, и рече Саул ко отроку своему иже с ним: гряди и возвратимся, да не како отец мой оставя ослята, печется о нас.
They have come to the land of Zuph, and Saul has said to his young man who [is] with him, “Come, and we return, lest my father leave off from the donkeys, and has been sorrowful for us.”
6 И рече ему отрок: се, зде человек Божий во граде сем, и человек славен: все еже аще речет приходящым к нему, будет им: и ныне пойдем тамо, да возвестит нам путь наш, имже пойдем.
And he says to him, “Now behold, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honored; all that he speaks certainly comes; now, we go there, it may be he declares to us our way on which we have gone.”
7 И рече Саул отроку своему иже с ним: се, пойдем, и что принесем к человеку Божию? Яко хлебы оскудеша от вретищ наших, и ктому несть у нас, еже внести к человеку Божию от имения нашего.
And Saul says to his young man, “And behold, we go, and what do we bring to the man? For the bread has gone from our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God—what [is] with us?”
8 И приложи отрок отвещати Саулу и рече: се, обретается в руце моей четвертая часть сикля сребра, и даси человеку Божию, и возвестит нам путь наш.
And the young man adds to answer Saul and says, “Behold, there is found a fourth of a shekel of silver with me: and I have given to the man of God, and he has declared our way to us.”
9 Прежде бо во Израили сице глаголаше кийждо, егда кто идяше вопрошати Бога: гряди, да идем к прозорливцу: яко пророка нарицаху людие прежде прозорливцем.
Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek God: “Come and we go to the seer.” For the “prophet” of today is formerly called “the seer.”
10 И рече Саул отроку своему: добр глагол твой: гряди, да идем. И идоша во град, идеже бе человек Божий.
And Saul says to his young man, “Your word [is] good; come, we go”; and they go to the city where the man of God [is].
11 Восходящым же им на восход града, и се, обретоша девиц изшедших почерпсти воды, и реша им: есть ли зде прозорливец?
They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found young women going out to draw water, and say to them, “Is the seer in this [place]?”
12 И отвещаша им девицы, глаголющя: есть, се пред лицем вашим: ныне же потщитеся, яко дне ради грядет во град, яко жертва днесь людем в ваме:
And they answer them and say, “He is; behold, before you! Hurry, now, for he has come to the city today, for the people [have] a sacrifice today in a high place.
13 и егда внидете во град, тако обрящете его во граде, прежде неже взыти ему в ваму ясти: яко не имут ясти людие, дондеже внидет сей, яко той благословит жертву, и по сих ядят страннии: и ныне взыдите, яко дне ради обрящете его.
At your going into the city so you find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat until his coming, for he blesses the sacrifice; afterward, they who are called eat, and now, go up, for you should find him at this time.”
14 И взыдоша во град. Имже входящым среди града, и се, Самуил изыде во сретение им, еже взыти в ваму.
And they go up to the city; they are coming into the midst of the city, and behold, Samuel is coming out to meet them, to go up to the high place;
15 И Господь откры во ухо Самуилу днем единым прежде пришествия к нему Сауля, глаголя:
and YHWH had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, saying,
16 якоже время сие, утро послю к тебе мужа от племене Вениаминова, и да помажеши его царя над людьми Моими Израилем, и спасет люди Моя от руки иноплеменничи: яко призрех на смирение людий Моих, яко взыде вопль их ко Мне.
“At this time tomorrow, I send to you a man out of the land of Benjamin—and you have anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he has saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry has come to Me.”
17 И виде Самуил Саула, и Господь рече к нему: се, человек, о немже рекох ти: сей будет в людех Моих царствовати.
When Samuel has seen Saul, then YHWH has answered him, “Behold, the man of whom I have spoken to you; this [one] restrains My people.”
18 И приближися Саул к Самуилу посреде града и рече: возвести ми, который дом прозорливца.
And Saul draws near to Samuel in the midst of the gate and says, “Please declare to me where this seer’s house [is].”
19 И отвеща Самуил Саулу и рече: аз сам есмь: взыди предо мною в ваму, и яждь со мною днесь, и отпущу тя заутра, и вся яже в сердцы твоем возвещу ти:
And Samuel answers Saul and says, “I [am] the seer; go up before me into the high place, and you have eaten with me today, and I have sent you away in the morning, and all that [is] in your heart I declare to you.
20 и о ослятех твоих заблудивших днесь третий день, не помышляй в сердцы своем о них, ибо обретошася: и кому красная Израилева? Не тебе ли и дому отца твоего?
And as for the donkeys which are lost from you [for] three days as of today, do not set your heart to them, for they have been found; and to whom [is] all the desire of Israel? Is it not to you and to all your father’s house?”
21 И отвеща Саул и рече: не сын ли есмь аз мужа иеминеа, меншаго скиптра племене Израилева? И племене малейшаго от всего скиптра Вениаминова? И отечество мое меншее паче всех отечеств Вениаминовых? И вскую глаголал еси ко мне по глаголу сему?
And Saul answers and says, “Am I not a Benjamite—of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? And why have you spoken to me according to this word?”
22 И поят Самуил Саула и отрока его, и введе я во обиталище, и даде им тамо место в первых званых, яко в седмидесяти мужех.
And Samuel takes Saul, and his young man, and brings them into the chamber, and gives a place to them at the head of those called; and they [are] about thirty men.
23 И рече Самуил повару: даждь ми часть, юже дах ти, и о нейже рех ти положити ю у себе.
And Samuel says to the cook, “Give the portion which I gave to you, of which I said to you, Set it by you.”
24 И взя повар плече, и предложи е Саулови. И рече Самуил Саулу: се, избыток, предложи пред ся и яждь, яко во свидетелство предложися тебе паче иных, прикоснися. И яде Саул с Самуилом в той день.
(And the cook lifts up the leg, and that which [is] on it, and sets [it] before Saul), and he says, “Behold, that which is left; [it] is set before your face—eat, for it is kept for you for this appointed time, [at my] saying, I have called the people”; and Saul eats with Samuel on that day.
25 И сниде от вамы во град, и постлаша Саулови на горнице, и спа.
And they come down from the high place to the city, and he speaks with Saul on the roof.
26 И бысть егда приближашеся утро, и воззва Самуил Саула на горнице, и рече: востани, и отпущу тя. И воста Саул, и изыде сам и Самуил вон.
And they rise early, and it comes to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calls to Saul, on the roof, saying, “Rise, and I send you away”; and Saul rises, and they go out, both of them—he and Samuel, outside.
27 Имже исходящым в часть града, и рече Самуил к Саулу: рцы юноши, да предидет пред нами: а ты стани якоже днесь, и слышан сотворю тебе глаголгол Божий.
They are going down in the extremity of the city, and Samuel has said to Saul, “Say to the young man that he should pass on before us (and he passes on), and you, stand at this time, and I cause you to hear the word of God.”
