Вторая книга Царств 1
1 И бысть егда умре Саул, и Давид возвратися победив Амалика, и пребысть Давид в Секелазе дни два.
Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.
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.
Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.
3 И рече ему Давид: откуду ты пришел еси? И рече ему: от полка Израилева аз избегох.
And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from 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 said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”
5 И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: како знаеши, яко умре Саул и Ионафан сын его?
And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”
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 was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.
7 и обозреся вспять (Саул) и виде мя, и призва мя, и рех: се, аз:
And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”
8 и рече ми: кто ты еси? И рех: Амаликитин есмь аз:
he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said 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 said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is 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 standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
11 И емься Давид за ризы своя, и раздра я, и вси мужие иже с ним раздраша ризы своя,
Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were 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 mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: откуду ты еси? И рече: сын мужа пришелца Амаликитина есмь аз.
And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”
14 И рече ему Давид: како не убоялся еси воздвигнути руку твою погубити христа Господня?
And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”
15 И призва Давид единаго от отрок своих и рече: иди, убий его. И уби его, и умре.
And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.
16 И рече ему Давид: кровь твоя на главе твоей, яко уста твоя на тя возвещаша, глаголюще: яко аз убих христа Господня.
And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”
17 И плакася Давид плачем сим о Сауле и о Ионафане сыне его,
Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.
18 и рече еже научити сыны Иудины стрелянию. Се написано в книзе Праведнаго.
(And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:
19 И рече: воздвигни столп, Израилю, над умершими на высоких твоих язвеными: како падоша сильнии?
The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?
20 Не возвещайте в Гефе, ниже поведайте на исходищих Аскалоних, да не возвеселятся дщери иноплеменничи, ни да возрадуются дщери необрезанных.
Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.
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:
O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been 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 slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did 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, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 плачите по Сауле, дщери Израилевы, иже вас облачаше в червленицы со украшением вашим, и возлагаше украшение злато на ризы вашя:
O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
25 како падоша сильнии посреде брани? Ионафане, до смерти на высоких твоих язвен еси:
How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
26 болезную о тебе, брате мой Ионафане, красный ми зело, удивися любовь твоя от мене паче любве женския:
I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
27 како падоша сильнии, и погибоша оружия бранная?
How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
