1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
И бысть егда преста глаголати к Саулу, и душа Ионафана с душею Давидовою спряжеся, и возлюби его Ионафан от души своея.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would no more let him go home to his father's house.
И поят его Саул во дни оны и не даде ему возвратитися в дом отца его.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
И завеща Ионафан и Давид завет, понеже возлюби его от души своея:
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his belt.
и совлече Ионафан ризу свою верхнюю и даде ю Давиду, и ины одежды своя даже до меча своего и до лука своего и до пояса своего.
5 And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
И хождаше Давид разумно во всех, аможе аще посылаше его Саул: постави же его Саул над мужи воинскими, и угоден бе пред очима всех людий и пред слугами Сауловыми.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music.
И бысть, внегда входити им, егда возвратися Давид от победы над иноплеменником: и изыдоша (девы) ликовствующыя во сретение Саула царя от всех градов Израилевых поющя и скачущя в тимпанех с радостию и с гусльми.
7 And the women sang one to another as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
И исхождаху жены ликующя и глаголющя: победи Саул с тысящами своими, а Давид со тмами своими.
8 And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him, and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands, and what can he have more but the kingdom?
И разгневася Саул зело, и лукавы явишася глаголы пред очима сауловыма о словеси сем. И рече Саул: Давиду даша тмы, мне же даша тысящы: и чего ему (несть), точию царства?
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
И бе Саул подзирая Давида от дне онаго и потом.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. And David played with his hand, as he did day by day, and Saul had his spear in his hand.
И бысть от утрешняго дне, и нападаше дух лукавый от Бога на Саула, и прорицаше посреде дому своего: и Давид пояше рукою своею (в гусли), якоже и по вся дни: копие же в руце Саули:
11 And Saul cast the spear, for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David turned away from his presence twice.
и взя Саул копие и рече: поражу Давида к стене. И уклонися Давид от лица его дважды.
12 And Saul was afraid of David because Jehovah was with him, and was departed from Saul.
И убояся Саул от лица Давидова, яко Господь бе с ним, а от Саула отступи:
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand, and he went out and came in before the people.
и отстави его Саул от себе, и постави его себе тысященачалника: и исхождаше и вхождаше пред людьми.
14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways, and Jehovah was with him.
И бе Давид во всех путех своих смысля, и Господь бе с ним.
15 And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
И виде Саул, яко той смыслит зело, и бояшеся от лица его.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
Весь же Израиль и Иуда любляху Давида, яко той вхождаше и исхождаше пред лицем людий.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, I will give her to thee for a wife. Only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
И рече Саул к Давиду: се, дщи моя болшая Меров, сию тебе дам в жену, токмо буди ми в сына силы и поборай брани Господни. И Саул рече: да не будет рука моя на нем, но да будет рука иноплеменнича.
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?
И рече Давид к Саулу: кто аз есмь? И кое житие сродства отца моего во Израили, яко да буду зять царский?
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
И бысть во время, егда даней быти подобаше Мерове дщери Саулове Давиду, сия дадеся Адриилу Молафитскому в жену.
20 And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David, and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
И возлюби Мелхола дщерь Саулова Давида: и возвестися Саулу, и угодно бысть пред очима его слово.
21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, Thou shall this day be my son-in-law a second time.
И рече Саул: дам ему ю, и будет ему в соблазн. И бе на Саула рука иноплеменнича. И рече Саул к Давиду: в силах будеши ми зять днесь.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Converse with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king has delight in thee, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
И заповеда Саул отроком своим, глаголя: рцыте вы тайно Давиду, глаголюще: се, благоволит о тебе царь, и вси отроцы его любят тя, и ты буди зять царю.
23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
И глаголаша отроцы Сауловы во ушы Давиду глаголы сия. И рече Давид: еда легко пред очима вашима, еже быти (ми) зятем царю? Аз бо есмь муж смирен и не славен.
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner David spoke.
И возвестиша отроцы Саулу сия словеса, яже глагола Давид.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king does not desire any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
И рече Саул: тако рцыте Давиду: не хощет царь с богатством (зятя), но токмо во сте краенеобрезаний иноплеменнических отмстити врагом царевым. Саул бо мысляше вдати Давида в руце иноплеменником.
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired.
И возвестиша отроцы Сауловы глаголы сия Давиду, и угодна быша словеса сия пред очима Давидовыма, еже быти в зятя царю.
27 And David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines two hundred men. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
И не по мнозех днех, воста Давид и иде сам и мужие его с ним, и уби от иноплеменник двести мужей: и принесе краенеобрезания их царю и вдаде я ему, и бысть зять царю, и вдаде ему царь Мелхолу дщерь свою в жену.
28 And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David, and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
И виде Саул, яко Господь есть с Давидом, и весь Израиль любит его:
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David, and Saul was David's enemy continually.
и приложи Саул оттоле паче боятися Давида. И бысть Саул враждуя на Давида во вся дни.
30 Then the rulers of the Philistines went forth, and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was very precious.
И исхождаху князи иноплеменничи, и бысть от начала исхождения их, Давид разумен бе паче всех слуг Сауловых, и почтеся имя его зело.
