Вторая книга Царств 1
1 И бысть егда умре Саул, и Давид возвратися победив Амалика, и пребысть Давид в Секелазе дни два.
It happened after the death of Saul, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and he stayed 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.
It happened on the third day, that, look, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. And it came about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and paid homage.
3 И рече ему Давид: откуду ты пришел еси? И рече ему: от полка Израилева аз избегох.
David said to him, "Where do you come from?" He said to him, "I have escaped out of the camp of Israel."
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.
David said to him, "How did it go? Please tell me." He answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."
5 И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: како знаеши, яко умре Саул и Ионафан сын его?
David said to the young man who had told him this, "How do you know 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:
The young man who told him said, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and saw Saul leaning on his spear. And look, the chariots and the horsemen were closing in on him.
7 и обозреся вспять (Саул) и виде мя, и призва мя, и рех: се, аз:
When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'
8 и рече ми: кто ты еси? И рех: Амаликитин есмь аз:
He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered 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, 'Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, yet there is life in me still.'
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 beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. Then I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord."
11 И емься Давид за ризы своя, и раздра я, и вси мужие иже с ним раздраша ризы своя,
Then David grabbed his clothes and tore them, and all the men with him did the same.
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.
They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.
13 И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: откуду ты еси? И рече: сын мужа пришелца Амаликитина есмь аз.
David said to the young man who had told him, "Where are you from?" He answered, "I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite."
14 И рече ему Давид: како не убоялся еси воздвигнути руку твою погубити христа Господня?
David said to him, "How is it that you were not afraid to put forth your 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.
David called one of the young men, and said, "Go near, and fall on him." He struck him, so 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.
David said to him, "Your blood is on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have killed 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 said it should be taught to the people of Judah. Look, it is written in the book of Jashar.
19 И рече: воздвигни столп, Израилю, над умершими на высоких твоих язвеными: како падоша сильнии?
"Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places. How the mighty have fallen.
20 Не возвещайте в Гефе, ниже поведайте на исходищих Аскалоних, да не возвеселятся дщери иноплеменничи, ни да возрадуются дщери необрезанных.
Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised celebrate.
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:
You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, nor fields of offerings. For there the shield of the mighty was dishonored. The shield of Saul, no longer 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, Jonathan's bow did not retreat. Saul's sword did not return 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 lovely, not separated. Lovely in their life, and in their death they were not separated. 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:
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you luxuriously in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
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 on your high places.
26 болезную о тебе, брате мой Ионафане, красный ми зело, удивися любовь твоя от мене паче любве женския:
I grieve for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love for me was a wonder, more than the love of women.
27 како падоша сильнии, и погибоша оружия бранная?
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished."
