1-я Царств 14
1 В один день сказал Ионафан, сын Саулов, слуге оруженосцу своему: ступай, перейдем к отряду Филистимскому, что на той стороне. А отцу своему не сказал об этом.
One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].
2 Саул же находился в окраине Гивы, под гранатовым деревом, что в Мигроне. С ним было около шестисот человек народа
On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.
3 и Ахия, сын Ахитува, брата Иохаведа, сына Финееса, сына Илия, священник Господа в Силоме, носивший ефод. Народ же не знал, что Ионафан пошел.
Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].
4 Между переходами, по которым Ионафан искал пробраться к отряду Филистимскому, была острая скала с одной стороны и острая скала с другой: имя одной Боцец, а имя другой Сене;
Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.
5 одна скала выдавалась с севера к Михмасу, другая с юга к Гиве.
One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
6 И сказал Ионафан слуге оруженосцу своему: ступай, перейдем к отряду этих необрезанных; может быть, Господь поможет нам, ибо для Господа нетрудно спасти чрез многих, или немногих.
Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”
7 И отвечал оруженосец: делай все, что на сердце у тебя; иди, вот я с тобою, куда тебе угодно.
The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”
8 И сказал Ионафан: вот, мы перейдем к этим людям и станем на виду у них;
Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.
9 если они так скажут нам: “остановитесь, пока мы подойдем к вам”, то мы остановимся на своих местах и не взойдем к ним;
If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.
10 а если так скажут: “поднимитесь к нам”, то мы взойдем, ибо Господь предал их в руки наши; и это будет знаком для нас.
But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”
11 Когда оба они стали на виду у отряда Филистимского, то Филистимляне сказали: вот, Евреи выходят из ущелий, в которых попрятались они.
When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”
12 И закричали люди, составлявшие отряд, к Ионафану и оруженосцу его, говоря: взойдите к нам, и мы вам скажем нечто. Тогда Ионафан сказал оруженосцу своему: следуй за мною, ибо Господь предал их в руки Израиля.
Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”
13 И начал всходить Ионафан, цепляясь руками и ногами, и оруженосец его за ним. И падали Филистимляне пред Ионафаном, а оруженосец добивал их за ним.
So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.
14 И пало от этого первого поражения, нанесенного Ионафаном и оруженосцем его, около двадцати человек, на половине поля, обрабатываемого парою волов в день.
In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
15 И произошел ужас в стане на поле и во всем народе; передовые отряды и опустошавшие землю пришли в трепет и не хотели сражаться; дрогнула вся земля, и был ужас великий от Господа.
Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.
16 И увидели стражи Саула в Гиве Вениаминовой, что толпа рассеивается и бежит туда и сюда.
Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.
17 И сказал Саул к народу, бывшему с ним; пересмотрите и узнайте, кто из наших вышел. И пересмотрели, и вот нет Ионафана и оруженосца его.
Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.
18 И сказал Саул Ахии: “принеси кивот Божий”, ибо кивот Божий в то время был с сынами Израильскими.
So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.
19 Саул еще говорил к священнику, как смятение в стане Филистимском более и более распространялось и увеличивалось. Тогда сказал Саул священнику: сложи руки твои.
But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]
20 И воскликнул Саул и весь народ, бывший с ним, и пришли к месту сражения, и вот, там меч каждого обращен был против ближнего своего; смятение было очень великое.
Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.
21 Тогда и Евреи, которые вчера и третьего дня были у Филистимлян и которые повсюду ходили с ними в стане, пристали к Израильтянам, находившимся с Саулом и Ионафаном;
Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.
22 и все Израильтяне, скрывавшиеся в горе Ефремовой, услышав, что Филистимляне побежали, также пристали к своим в сражении.
Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.
23 И спас Господь в тот день Израиля; битва же простерлась даже до Беф-Авена. Всех людей было с Саулом до десяти тысяч, и битва происходила по всему городу на горе Ефремовой.
So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
24 Люди Израильские были истомлены в тот день; а Саул заклял народ, сказав: проклят, кто вкусит хлеба до вечера, доколе я не отомщу врагам моим. И никто из народа не вкусил пищи.
Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.
25 И пошел весь народ в лес, и был там на поляне мед.
The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
26 И вошел народ в лес, говоря: вот, течет мед. Но никто не протянул руки своей ко рту своему, ибо народ боялся заклятия.
They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
27 Ионафан же не слышал, когда отец его заклинал народ, и, протянув конец палки, которая была в руке его, обмакнул ее в сот медовый и обратил рукою к устам своим, и просветлели глаза его.
But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.
28 И сказал ему один из народа, говоря: отец твой заклял народ, сказав: “проклят, кто сегодня вкусит пищи”; от этого народ истомился.
But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”
29 И сказал Ионафан: смутил отец мой землю; смотрите, у меня просветлели глаза, когда я вкусил немного этого меду;
Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
30 если бы поел сегодня народ из добычи, какую нашел у врагов своих, то не большее ли было бы поражение Филистимлян?
If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”
31 И поражали Филистимлян в тот день от Михмаса до Аиалона, и народ очень истомился.
The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.
32 И кинулся народ на добычу, и брали овец, волов и телят, и заколали на земле, и ел народ с кровью.
They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.
33 И возвестили Саулу, говоря: вот, народ грешит пред Господом, ест с кровью. И сказал Саул: вы согрешили; привалите ко мне теперь большой камень.
One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”
34 Потом сказал Саул: пройдите между народом и скажите ему: пусть каждый приводит ко мне своего вола и каждый свою овцу, и заколайте здесь и ешьте, и не грешите пред Господом, не ешьте с кровью. И приводили все из народа, каждый своею рукою, вола своего и свою овцу ночью, и заколали там.
After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.
35 И устроил Саул жертвенник Господу: то был первый жертвенник, поставленный им Господу.
That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
36 И сказал Саул: пойдем в погоню за Филистимлянами ночью и оберем их до рассвета и не оставим у них ни одного человека. И сказали: делай все, что хорошо в глазах твоих. Священник же сказал: приступим здесь к Богу.
Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”
37 И вопросил Саул Бога: идти ли мне в погоню за Филистимлянами? предашь ли их в руки Израиля? Но Он не отвечал ему в тот день.
So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.
38 Тогда сказал Саул: пусть подойдут сюда все начальники народа и разведают и узнают, на ком грех ныне?
Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.
39 ибо, - жив Господь, спасший Израиля, если окажется и на Ионафане, сыне моем, то и он умрет непременно. Но никто не отвечал ему из всего народа.
Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].
40 И сказал Саул всем Израильтянам: станьте вы по одну сторону, а я и сын мой Ионафан станем по другую сторону. И отвечал народ Саулу: делай, что хорошо в глазах твоих.
Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”
41 И сказал Саул: Господи, Боже Израилев! отчего Ты ныне не отвечал рабу Твоему? моя ли в том вина, или сына моего Ионафана? Господи, Боже Израилев! дай знамение. Если же она в народе Твоем Израиле, дай ему освящение. И уличены были Ионафан и Саул, а народ вышел правым.
Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.
42 Тогда сказал Саул: бросьте жребий между мною и между Ионафаном, сыном моим, и кого объявит Господь, тот да умрет. И сказал народ Саулу: да не будет так! Но Саул настоял. И бросили жребий между ним и Ионафаном, сыном его, и пал жребий на Ионафана.
Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.
43 И сказал Саул Ионафану: расскажи мне, что сделал ты? И рассказал ему Ионафан и сказал: я отведал концом палки, которая в руке моей, немного меду; и вот, я должен умереть.
Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”
44 И сказал Саул: пусть то и то сделает мне Бог, и еще больше сделает; ты, Ионафан, должен сегодня умереть!
Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”
45 Но народ сказал Саулу: Ионафану ли умереть, который доставил столь великое спасение Израилю? Да не будет этого! Жив Господь, и волос не упадет с головы его на землю, ибо с Богом он действовал ныне. И освободил народ Ионафана, и не умер он.
But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.
46 И возвратился Саул от преследования Филистимлян; Филистимляне же пошли в свое место.
Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
47 И утвердил Саул свое царствование над Израилем, и воевал со всеми окрестными врагами своими, с Моавом и с Аммонитянами, и с Едомом и с Вефором и с царями Совы и с Филистимлянами, и везде, против кого ни обращался, имел успех.
After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.
48 И устроил войско, и поразил Амалика, и освободил Израиля от руки грабителей его.
Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.
49 Сыновья у Саула были: Ионафан, Иессуи и Мелхисуа; а имена двух дочерей его: имя старшей - Мерова, а имя младшей - Мелхола.
Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
50 Имя же жены Сауловой - Ахиноамь, дочь Ахимааца; а имя начальника войска его - Авенир, сын Нира, дяди Саулова.
Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
51 Кис, отец Саулов, и Нир, отец Авенира, были сыновьями Авиила.
Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
52 И была упорная война против Филистимлян во все время Саулово. И когда Саул видел какого-либо человека сильного и воинственного, брал его к себе.
All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
