Вторая книга Царств 1
1 И бысть егда умре Саул, и Давид возвратися победив Амалика, и пребысть Давид в Секелазе дни два.
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from smiting the 'Amalekites, that David abode in Ziklag 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 came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and it happened, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.
3 И рече ему Давид: откуду ты пришел еси? И рече ему: от полка Израилева аз избегох.
And David said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
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 unto him, What took place there? I pray thee, tell me. And he said, That the people are fled from the battle, and that also many of the people are fallen and have died; and that also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
5 И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: како знаеши, яко умре Саул и Ионафан сын его?
And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul is dead as also Jonathan his son?
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 young man that told him said, I happened entirely by chance to be upon mount Gilboa', when, behold, there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen had overtaken him.
7 и обозреся вспять (Саул) и виде мя, и призва мя, и рех: се, аз:
And he turned round, and he saw me, and called unto me, And I said, Here am I.
8 и рече ми: кто ты еси? И рех: Амаликитин есмь аз:
And he said unto me, Who art thou! And I answered him, An 'Amalekite am I.
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 unto me, Place thyself, I pray thee, by me, and slay me; for a mortal tremor hath seized on me, although my life is yet whole 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.
So I placed myself by him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them unto my lord hither.
11 И емься Давид за ризы своя, и раздра я, и вси мужие иже с ним раздраша ризы своя,
David thereupon took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and [so did] likewise all the men that 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 lamented, and wept, and fasted until the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were 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 unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, The son of a stranger, an 'Amalekite, am I.
14 И рече ему Давид: како не убоялся еси воздвигнути руку твою погубити христа Господня?
And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?
15 И призва Давид единаго от отрок своих и рече: иди, убий его. И уби его, и умре.
And David called one of the young men, and said, Come near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that 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 unto him, Thy blood is upon thy own head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I myself have slain the Lord's anointed.
17 И плакася Давид плачем сим о Сауле и о Ионафане сыне его,
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 и рече еже научити сыны Иудины стрелянию. Се написано в книзе Праведнаго.
And he said, That the children of Judah should be taught the bow; behold it is written in the book of Yashar.
19 И рече: воздвигни столп, Израилю, над умершими на высоких твоих язвеными: како падоша сильнии?
O beauty of Israel! upon the high places slain: how are the mighty fallen!
20 Не возвещайте в Гефе, ниже поведайте на исходищих Аскалоних, да не возвеселятся дщери иноплеменничи, ни да возрадуются дщери необрезанных.
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; that the daughters of the Philistines may not be glad, that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not rejoice.
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', no dew, nor rain be upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was stained, the shield of Saul, as though it 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 mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned never back, and the sword of Saul never returned 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, the beloved and the dear in their lives, were even in their death not divided: more than eagles were they swift, more than lions were they strong.
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 for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with beautiful dresses, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 како падоша сильнии посреде брани? Ионафане, до смерти на высоких твоих язвен еси:
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, on thy high places slain.
26 болезную о тебе, брате мой Ионафане, красный ми зело, удивися любовь твоя от мене паче любве женския:
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very dear hast thou been unto me: wonderful was thy love for me, passing the love of women.
27 како падоша сильнии, и погибоша оружия бранная?
How are the mighty fallen, and lost the instruments of war!
