1 Samuel 12
1 Then Samuel said to all of Israel: “Behold, I have listened to your voice, according to all that you have said to me, and I have appointed a king over you.
И рече Самуил ко всем мужем Израилевым: се, послушах гласа вашего о всех, елика ми ресте, и поставих над вами царя:
2 And now the king advances before you. But I am old and have gray hair. Moreover, my sons are with you. And so, having conversed before you from my youth, even until this day, behold, I am here.
и се, ныне царь предходит пред вами, аз же состарехся и седети буду, и сынове мои се с вами: и аз се, ходих пред вами от юности моея и даже до днешняго дне:
3 Speak about me before the Lord, and before his Christ, as to whether I have taken anyone’s ox or donkey, or whether I have falsely accused anyone, or whether I have oppressed anyone, or whether I have accepted a bribe from the hand of anyone, and I will repudiate the same, this day, and I will restore it to you.”
се, аз, отвещайте на мя пред Господем и пред христом Его, еда у кого телца взях, или осля, или кого от вас насилствовах, или кого утесних, или от руку некоего приях мзду, или обущу? Извещайте на мя, и возвращу вам.
4 And they said, “You have not falsely accused us, nor oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from the hand of anyone.”
И реша к Самуилу: не обидел еси нас, ниже насилствовал еси нам, ниже утеснил еси нас, ниже взял еси от руки чиея что.
5 And he said to them, “The Lord is a witness against you, and his Christ is a witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” And they said, “He is the witness.”
И рече Самуил к людем: свидетель есть Господь в вас, и свидетель христос Его днесь в сей день, яко ничтоже обретосте в руку моею. И реша людие: свидетель.
6 And Samuel said to the people: “It is the Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who led our fathers away from the land of Egypt.
И рече Самуил к людем, глаголя: свидетель Господь сотворивый Моисеа и Аарона и изведый от земли Египетския отцы нашя:
7 Now therefore, stand, so that I may contend in judgment against you before the Lord, about all the mercies of the Lord, which he has given to you and to your fathers:
и ныне предстаните, и разсуждуся с вами пред Господем и возвещу вам вся оправдания Господня, яже сотвори вам и отцем вашым:
8 How Jacob entered into Egypt, and your fathers cried out to the Lord. And the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and he led your fathers away from Egypt, and he transferred them to this place.
егда вниде Иаков и сынове его во Египет, и смириша их Египтяне: и возопиша отцы наши ко Господу, и посла Господь Моисеа и Аарона, и изведе отцы нашя из Египта и всели их на месте сем:
9 But they forgot the Lord their God, and so he delivered them into the hand of Sisera, master of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab. And they fought against them.
и забыша Господа Бога своего, и вдаде я в руце Сисаре архистратигу Иавина царя Асорска, и в руки иноплеменничи, и в руки царя Моавска, и воеваша их:
10 But afterward, they cried out to the Lord, and they said: ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and we have served the Baals and Ashtaroth. Now therefore, rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.’
и возопиша ко Господу и реша: согрешихом, яко оставихом Господа и поработахом Ваалиму и Дубравам, и ныне изми ны от рук враг наших, и поработаем Тебе:
11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and he rescued you from the hand of your enemies all around, and you lived in confidence.
и посла Господь Иероваала и Варака и Иеффая и Самуила, и изят вы из рук враг ваших окрестных, и обитасте уповающе:
12 Then, seeing that Nahash, the king of the sons of Ammon, had arrived against you, you said to me, ‘By no means! Instead, a king shall reign over us,’ even though the Lord your God was reigning over you.
и весте, яко Наас царь сынов Аммоних прииде на вы, и ресте: ни, но царь да царствует над нами: егда Господь Бог царствова над вами:
13 Now therefore, your king is present, whom you chose and requested. Behold, the Lord has given you a king.
и се, ныне царь, егоже избрасте и егоже просисте: и се, даде Господь над вами царя:
14 If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord, then both you, and the king who rules over you, will be following the Lord your God.
аще убоитеся Господа и поработаете Ему, и послушаете гласа Его и не воспротивитеся устом Господним, и будете и вы и царь царствуяй над вами вслед Господа ходяще: то рука Господня не будет на вас:
15 But if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord, but instead you provoke his words, then the hand of the Lord will be over you and over your fathers.
аще же не послушаете гласа Господня и воспротивитеся устом Господним, будет рука Господня на вас и на царя вашего:
16 Therefore, stand now, and see this great thing, which the Lord will accomplish in your sight.
и ныне станите и видите глаголгол сей великий, егоже сотворит Господь пред очима вашима:
17 Is it not the harvest of the wheat today? I will call upon the Lord, and he will send thunder and rain. And you will know and see that you have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, by petitioning for a king over you.”
несть ли жатва пшеницы днесь? Призову Господа, и даст громы и дождь, и уразумеете и увидите, яко злоба ваша велика, юже сотвористе пред Господем, испросивше себе царя.
18 And Samuel cried out to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain on that day.
И призва Самуил Господа, и даде Господь гром и дождь в той день: и убояшася вси людие зело Господа и Самуила,
19 And all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly. And all the people said to Samuel: “Pray, on behalf of your servants, to the Lord your God, so that we may not die. For we have added to all our sins this evil, that we would petition for a king.”
и реша вси людие к Самуилу: помолися о рабех твоих ко Господу Богу твоему, да не умрем: яко приложихом ко всем грехом нашым злобу, просяще себе царя.
20 Then Samuel said to the people: “Do not be afraid. You have done all this evil. Yet truly, do not choose to withdraw from the back of the Lord. Instead, serve the Lord with all your heart.
И рече Самуил к людем: не бойтеся: вы сотвористе всю злобу сию: токмо не уклонитеся от последования Господня и поработайте Господу всем сердцем вашим,
21 And do not choose to turn aside after vanities, which will never benefit you, nor rescue you, since they are empty.
и не преступите вслед ничтоже сущих, иже не пособствуют и не изимут, яко ничтоже суть:
22 And the Lord will not abandon his people, because of his great name. For the Lord has sworn to make you his people.
понеже не отринет Господь людий Своих имене ради Своего великаго, яко кротце Господь прият вас Себе в люди:
23 So then, far be it from me, this sin against the Lord, that I would cease to pray for you. And so, I will teach you the good and upright way.
и да никакоже ми согрешити Господу, оставити еже молитися о вас ко Господу, и поработаю Господеви и покажу вам путь благ и прав,
24 Therefore, fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and from your whole heart. For you have seen the great works that he has done among you.
токмо бойтеся Господа и работайте Ему во истине и всем сердцем вашим, яко видите яже великая сотвори Господь с вами:
25 But if you persevere in wickedness, both you and your king will perish together.”
и аще злобою зло сотворите, то вы и царь ваш погибнете.
