Вторая книга Царств 1
1 И бысть егда умре Саул, и Давид возвратися победив Амалика, и пребысть Давид в Секелазе дни два.
And it comes to pass after the death of Saul, that David has returned from striking the Amalekite, and David dwells in Ziklag [for] two days,
2 И бысть в третий день, и се, муж прииде от полка людий Сауловых, ризы же его (бяху) раздраны, и персть на главе его: и бысть егда вниде к Давиду (отрок), и пад на земли поклонися ему.
and it comes to pass, on the third day, that behold, a man has come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] torn, and earth [is] on his head; and it comes to pass in his coming to David, that he falls to the earth and pays respect.
3 И рече ему Давид: откуду ты пришел еси? И рече ему: от полка Израилева аз избегох.
And David says to him, “Where do you come from?” And he says to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
4 И рече ему Давид: что слово сие? Возвести ми. И рече: яко побегоша людие от брани, и падоша мнози от людий, и измроша, и Саул и Ионафан сын его умре.
And David says to him, “What has been the matter? Please declare [it] to me.” And he says, “That the people have fled from the battle, and also a multitude of the people have fallen, and they die; and also Saul and his son Jonathan have died.”
5 И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: како знаеши, яко умре Саул и Ионафан сын его?
And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “How have you known that Saul and his son Jonathan [are] dead?”
6 И рече отрок возвещаяй ему: по случаю приидох в гору Гелвуйскую, и се, Саул нападаше на копие свое, и се, колесницы и вельможи собрашася нань:
And the youth who is declaring [it] to him says, “I happened to meet in Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul is leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;
7 и обозреся вспять (Саул) и виде мя, и призва мя, и рех: се, аз:
and he turns behind him, and sees me, and calls to me, and I say, Here I [am].
8 и рече ми: кто ты еси? И рех: Амаликитин есмь аз:
And he says to me, Who [are] you? And I say to him, I [am] an Amalekite.
9 и рече ми: прииди убо на мя и убий мя, яко объят мя тма лютая, яко еще душа моя во мне:
And he says to me, Please stand over me and put me to death, for the arrow has seized me, for all my soul [is] still in me.
10 и стах над ним, и убих его: ведех бо, яко не будет жив по падении своем: и взяв венец царский, иже бе на главе его, и нарамницу, яже бе на плещу его, и принесох сия к господину моему семо.
And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he does not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them to my lord here.”
11 И емься Давид за ризы своя, и раздра я, и вси мужие иже с ним раздраша ризы своя,
And David takes hold on his garments, and tears them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
12 и рыдаша и плакашася, и постишася до вечера о Сауле, и о Ионафане сыне его, и о людех Иудиных и о доме Израилеве, яко избиени быша мечем.
and they mourn, and weep, and fast until the evening, for Saul, and for his son Jonathan, and for the people of YHWH, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.
13 И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: откуду ты еси? И рече: сын мужа пришелца Амаликитина есмь аз.
And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “Where [are] you from?” And he says, “I [am] the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.”
14 И рече ему Давид: како не убоялся еси воздвигнути руку твою погубити христа Господня?
And David says to him, “How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the anointed of YHWH?”
15 И призва Давид единаго от отрок своих и рече: иди, убий его. И уби его, и умре.
And David calls to one of the youths and says, “Draw near—fall on him”; and he strikes him, and he dies;
16 И рече ему Давид: кровь твоя на главе твоей, яко уста твоя на тя возвещаша, глаголюще: яко аз убих христа Господня.
and David says to him, “Your blood [is] on your own head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I put to death the anointed of YHWH.”
17 И плакася Давид плачем сим о Сауле и о Ионафане сыне его,
And David laments with this lamentation over Saul, and over his son Jonathan;
18 и рече еже научити сыны Иудины стрелянию. Се написано в книзе Праведнаго.
and he says to teach the sons of Judah “The Bow”; behold, it is written on the Scroll of the Upright:
19 И рече: воздвигни столп, Израилю, над умершими на высоких твоих язвеными: како падоша сильнии?
“The beauty of Israel [Is] wounded on your high places; How the mighty have fallen!
20 Не возвещайте в Гефе, ниже поведайте на исходищих Аскалоних, да не возвеселятся дщери иноплеменничи, ни да возрадуются дщери необрезанных.
Do not declare [it] in Gath, Do not proclaim the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice—The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult—The daughters of the uncircumcised!
21 Горы Гелвуйския, да не снидет роса ниже дождь на вас: и села начатков (житных), яко тамо повержен бысть щит сильных: щит Саулов не быти помазан елеем:
Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of raised-offerings! For there has become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul—without the anointed with oil.
22 от крове язвеных и от тука сильных лук Ионафанов не возвратися тощь вспять, и мечь Саулов не возвратися тощь:
From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Has not turned backward; And the sword of Saul does not return empty.
23 Саул и Ионафан возлюбленнии и прекраснии неразлучни, благолепни в животе своем, и в смерти своей не разлучишася: паче орлов легцы и паче львов крепцы:
Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. They have been lighter than eagles, They have been mightier than lions!
24 плачите по Сауле, дщери Израилевы, иже вас облачаше в червленицы со украшением вашим, и возлагаше украшение злато на ризы вашя:
Daughters of Israel! Weep for Saul, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
25 како падоша сильнии посреде брани? Ионафане, до смерти на высоких твоих язвен еси:
How the mighty have fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan [was] wounded on your high places!
26 болезную о тебе, брате мой Ионафане, красный ми зело, удивися любовь твоя от мене паче любве женския:
I am in distress for you, my brother Jonathan, You were very pleasant to me; Your love was wonderful to me, Above the love of women!
27 како падоша сильнии, и погибоша оружия бранная?
How the mighty have fallen, Indeed, the weapons of war perish!”
