Первая книга Царств 9
1 И бе муж от сынов Вениаминовых, емуже имя Кис, сын Авиилов, сына Иаредова, сына Вахирова, сына Афекова, сына мужа Иеминеова, муж силен крепостию.
Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjaminite, 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.
He had a son, whose name was Saul, a handsome young man; and there was no one among the children of Israel more handsome than he was. From his shoulders and upward he was taller 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.
Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, "Take now one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys." So Saul got up and took one of the servants of his father with him and went to look for the donkeys of his father Kish.
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.
He passed through the hill country of Ephraim and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, but they weren't there. Then he passed through the land of the Jaminites, but they did not find 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.
When they had come to Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, and let us return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys, and be anxious 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.
He said to him, "See now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is a man who is held in honor. All that he says surely comes to pass. Now let us go there. Perhaps he can tell us concerning our journey on which we have set out."
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.
Then Saul said to his servant, "But look, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is gone in our vessels, and there is no gift to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"
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.
The servant answered Saul again, and said, "Look, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver. You shall give that to the man of God, to tell us about our journey."
9 Прежде бо во Израили сице глаголаше кийждо, егда кто идяше вопрошати Бога: гряди, да идем к прозорливцу: яко пророка нарицаху людие прежде прозорливцем.
(In earlier times in Israel, whenever someone went to inquire of God, he would say, "Come, and let us go to the seer"; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)
10 И рече Саул отроку своему: добр глагол твой: гряди, да идем. И идоша во град, идеже бе человек Божий.
Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said. Come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.
11 Восходящым же им на восход града, и се, обретоша девиц изшедших почерпсти воды, и реша им: есть ли зде прозорливец?
As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, "Is the seer here?"
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 answered them, and said, "He is. Look, he is ahead of you. Just now he has come to the city since the people have a sacrifice today on the 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.
As soon as you have come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice, and afterwards those who are invited may eat. Now therefore go up for you shall find him right now."
14 И взыдоша во град. Имже входящым среди града, и се, Самуил изыде во сретение им, еже взыти в ваму.
They went up to the city. As they came within the city, look, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place.
15 И Господь откры во ухо Самуилу днем единым прежде пришествия к нему Сауля, глаголя:
Now the LORD had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, 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.
"Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel; and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen the suffering of my people, because their 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 saw Saul, the LORD said to him, "Look, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall have authority over my people."
18 И приближися Саул к Самуилу посреде града и рече: возвести ми, который дом прозорливца.
Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the city, and said, "Tell me where is the house of the seer?"
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 answered Saul, and said, "I am he. Go up before me to the high place, for you will eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.
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?
As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them; for they have been found. And for whom does all Israel desire? Is it not for you, and for the house of your father?"
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?
Saul answered, "Am I not a Benjaminite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?"
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.
Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest room, and made them sit in the best place among those who were invited, who were about thirty persons.
23 И рече Самуил повару: даждь ми часть, юже дах ти, и о нейже рех ти положити ю у себе.
And Samuel said to the cook, "Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I told you to set aside."
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.
The cook picked up the leg, and that which was attached to it, and set it before Saul. And he said, "Look, here is what has been kept for you. Set it before you and eat, because it was kept especially for you until the right time; because I said, 'I have invited the people.'" So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
25 И сниде от вамы во град, и постлаша Саулови на горнице, и спа.
When they had come down from the high place into the city, they prepared a bed for 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 he slept. And it happened about daybreak that Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, "Get up, that I may send you away." So Saul got up, and he and Samuel went 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.
As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to go on ahead of us. But you remain here awhile, so that I may make known to you the word of God."
