1 Samuel 11
1 After about a month, Nahash the Ammonite came up and camped against Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."
И бысть аки по месяце, и взыде Наас Аманитянин, и ополчися на Иавис Галаадский. И реша вси мужие Иависстии к Наасу аманитянину: положи нам завет, и поработаем ти.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that all your right eyes are put out; and I will make it a disgrace on all Israel."
И рече к ним Наас Аманитянин: сей завет положу вам, изверчу комуждо вас око десное, и положу поношение на Израиля.
3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."
И реша ему мужие Иависа Галаадскаго: остави нам седмь дний, да послем вестники во вся пределы Израилевы: и аще не будет спасающаго нас, изыдем к вам.
4 Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
И приидоша вестницы в Гаваю к Саулу и поведаша словеса сия во ушы людий: и воздвигоша вси людие глас свой и плакашася.
5 Look, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, "What ails the people that they weep?" They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
И се, Саул прииде по заутрии от села, и рече Саул: что яко плачут людие? И поведаша ему глаголы мужей Иависских.
6 The Spirit of God came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
И сниде Дух Господень на Саула, егда услыша словеса сия, и разгневася на них зело:
7 He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever doesn't come forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
и взя две кравы, и раздроби я на уды, и посла во вся пределы Израилевы руками вестников, глаголя: иже не будет идый вслед Саула и вслед Самуила, по сему сотворят говядом его. И сниде ужас Господень на Израилтян, и изыдоша яко един муж.
8 He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
И сочте их в Везеце, в ваме, и бысть всех мужей Израилтеских шесть сот тысящ, и мужей Иудиных седмьдесят тысящ.
9 And he said to the messengers who came, "Thus you shall tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.'" The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
И рече вестником пришедшым: сия поведите мужем Иависа Галаадскаго: заутра будет вам спасение восходящу солнцу. И приидоша вестницы во град и возвестиша мужем Иависским: и возрадовашася,
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you."
и реша мужие Иависстии к Наасу аманитянину: утро изыдем к вам, и сотворите нам, еже благо пред очима вашима.
11 It was so on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
И бысть по заутрии, и Саул раздели люди на три начала: и внидоша посреде полка в стражу утреннюю, и бияху сынов Аммонитских, дондеже разогреся день: и бысть, и оставшиися разбегошася, и не осташася ни два от них вкупе.
12 And the people said to Samuel, "Who is it that said Saul should not reign over us? Bring those men so we may put them to death."
И реша людие к Самуилу: кто есть рекий, яко да Саул не воцарится над нами? Предаждь мужей, и избием их.
13 Saul said, "There shall not a man be put to death this day; for today the LORD has worked deliverance in Israel."
И рече Саул: да не умрет ни един в днешний день, яко днесь сотвори Господь спасение во Израили.
14 Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."
И рече Самуил к людем, глаголя: приидите да идем в Галгалы и обновим тамо царство.
15 All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
И идоша вси людие в Галгалы, и помаза тамо Самуил Саула на царство пред Господем в Галгалех. И пожроша тамо жертвы и мирная пред Господем, и возвеселися тамо Саул и вси мужие Израилевы зело.
