Вторая книга Царств 1
1 И бысть егда умре Саул, и Давид возвратися победив Амалика, и пребысть Давид в Секелазе дни два.
And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode two days in 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.
And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.
3 И рече ему Давид: откуду ты пришел еси? И рече ему: от полка Израилева аз избегох.
And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to 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 to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.
5 И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: како знаеши, яко умре Саул и Ионафан сын его?
And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
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 by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 и обозреся вспять (Саул) и виде мя, и призва мя, и рех: се, аз:
And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.
8 и рече ми: кто ты еси? И рех: Амаликитин есмь аз:
And he said to me, Who art thou? 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:
He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for 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 stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.
11 И емься Давид за ризы своя, и раздра я, и вси мужие иже с ним раздраша ризы своя,
Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him [did] likewise.
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 even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, 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 to the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.
14 И рече ему Давид: како не убоялся еси воздвигнути руку твою погубити христа Господня?
And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
15 И призва Давид единаго от отрок своих и рече: иди, убий его. И уби его, и умре.
Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, [and] fall on 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 to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah'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 bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: —
19 И рече: воздвигни столп, Израилю, над умершими на высоких твоих язвеными: како падоша сильнии?
The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: 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, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
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:
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] not 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 not back, And the sword of Saul returned not 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, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 плачите по Сауле, дщери Израилевы, иже вас облачаше в червленицы со украшением вашим, и возлагаше украшение злато на ризы вашя:
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put 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! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.
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 pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.
27 како падоша сильнии, и погибоша оружия бранная?
How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
