1 Samuel 19
1 Now Saul spoke to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, so that they would kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David very much.
И глагола Саул к Ионафану сыну своему и ко всем отроком своим, да умертвят Давида. Ионафан же сын Саулов любяше Давида зело.
2 And Jonathan revealed it to David, saying: “Saul, my father, is seeking to kill you. Because of this, I ask you, take care for yourself in the morning. And you should conceal yourself and remain in hiding.
И возвести Ионафан Давиду, глаголя: отец мой Саул ищет тя убити: сохранися убо заутра рано, и скрыйся, и сяди втайне:
3 Then I, going out, will be standing beside my father in the field, where you will be. And I will speak about you to my father. And whatever I see, I will report to you.”
и аз изыду, и стану при отце моем на селе, идеже еси ты: и аз возглаголю отцу моему о тебе, и узрю, что будет, и возвещу тебе.
4 Then Jonathan spoke good things about David to his father Saul. And he said to him: “You should not sin, O king, against your servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his works toward you are very good.
И глагола Ионафан о Давиде благая к Саулу отцу своему, и рече к нему: да не согрешает царь на раба своего Давида, яко не согреши пред тобою, и дела его блага суть зело:
5 And he took his life in his own hand, and struck down the Philistine. And the Lord wrought a great salvation for all of Israel. You saw it, and you rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without guilt?”
и положи душу свою в руце своей и победи иноплеменника, и сотвори Господь спасение велико всему Израилю, и вси видеша и возрадовашася: и почто согрешаеши в кровь неповинну, еже убити Давида туне?
6 And when Saul had heard this, being pleased by the voice of Jonathan, he swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
И послуша Саул гласа Ионафаня: и клятся Саул, глаголя: жив Господь, яко не умрет (Давид).
7 And so Jonathan called David, and he revealed to him all of these words. And Jonathan led in David to Saul, and he was before him, just as he had been yesterday and the day before.
И призва Ионафан Давида и возвести ему вся глаголы сия, и введе Ионафан Давида к Саулу, и бе пред ним яко вчера и третияго дне.
8 Then the war was stirred up again. And David went out and fought against the Philistines. And he struck them down with a great slaughter. And they fled from his face.
И приложися брань быти на Саула, и укрепися Давид, и победи иноплеменники, и изби язвою великою зело, и бежаша от лица его.
9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came to Saul, who was sitting in his house and holding a lance. And David was playing music with his hand.
И бысть от Бога дух лукавый на Сауле, и той в дому своем седяше, и копие в руце его, Давид же играше руками своими:
10 And Saul attempted to fix David to the wall with the lance. But David turned aside from the face of Saul. And the lance failed to wound him, and it became fixed in the wall. And David fled, and so he was saved that night.
и искаше Саул копием поразити Давида, и отступи Давид от лица Сауля, и удари Саул копием в стену: Давид же отшед спасеся в нощь ту.
11 Therefore, Saul sent his guards to David’s house, so that they might watch for him, and so that he might be killed in the morning. And after Michal, his wife, had reported this to David, saying, “Unless you save yourself this night, tomorrow you will die,”
И посла Саул вестники в дом Давидов стрещи его, еже убити его рано. И возвести Давиду Мелхола жена его, глаголющи: аще ты не спасеши души твоея в нощь сию, заутра умреши.
12 she lowered him down through a window. Then he fled and went away, and he was saved.
И свеси Мелхола Давида оконцем, и отиде, и убежа, и спасеся:
13 Then Michal took a statue, and placed it on the bed. And she placed the pelt of a goat for the hair at its head. And she covered it with clothes.
и прият Мелхола тщепогребалная, и положи на одре, и печень козию положи на возглавии его, и покры я ризами.
14 And Saul sent attendants to seize David. And it was answered that he was sick.
И посла Саул вестники, да имут Давида, и рекоша, яко болен есть.
15 And again, Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him to me on the bed, so that he may be killed.”
И посла Саул, да оглядают Давида, глаголя: принесите его на одре ко мне, еже умертвити его.
16 And when the messengers had arrived, they found a likeness on the bed, with a goat pelt at its head.
И приидоша слуги, и се, тщепогребалная на одре и козия печень при возглавии его.
17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me in this way, and released my enemy, so that he may flee?” And Michal responded to Saul, “Because he said to me, ‘Release me, otherwise I will kill you.’”
И рече Саул к Мелхоле: почто тако обманула мя еси, и отпустила еси врага моего, и гонзе мене? И рече Мелхола Саулу: сам ми рече: отпусти мя: аще же ни, погублю тя.
18 Now David was saved by fleeing, and he went to Samuel in Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went away and stayed at Naioth.
И Давид убежа и спасеся, и иде к Самуилу во Армафем и поведа ему вся, елика сотвори ему Саул. И идоста Давид и Самуил и седоста в Навафе в Раме.
19 Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah.”
И возвестиша Саулу, глаголюще: се, Давид в Навафе в Раме.
20 Therefore, Saul sent officers to seize David. And when they had seen a company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord also came to them, and they also began to prophesy.
И посла слуги Саул яти Давида, и видеша собор пророков, и Самуил стояше настоятель над ними: и бысть Дух Божий на слугах Саулих, и начаша прорицати.
21 And when this was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. But they also prophesied. And again, Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also prophesied. And Saul, being exceedingly angry,
И возвестиша Саулу, и посла другия слуги, и прорицати начаша и тии. И приложи Саул послати слуги третия, и начаша и тии прорицати.
22 also went to Ramah himself. And he went as far as the great cistern, which is in Socoh. And he inquired and said, “In which place are Samuel and David?” And it was told to him, “Behold, they are at Naioth, in Ramah.”
И разгневася гневом Саул, и иде и сам во Армафем, и прииде даже до кладязя гумна, еже есть в Сефе, и вопроси и рече: где есть Самуил и Давид? И реша: се, в Навафе в Раме.
23 And he went to Naioth, in Ramah, and the Spirit of the Lord came to him also. And he continued on, walking and prophesying, until he arrived at Naioth, in Ramah.
И иде оттуду в Наваф (иже) в Раме: и бысть и на нем Дух Божий, и идяше идый и прорицая, дондеже приити ему в Наваф иже в Раме.
24 And he also took off his garments, and he prophesied with the others before Samuel. And he fell down naked, throughout that day and night. From this, too, is derived the proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
И совлече ризы своя и прорицаше пред ними: и паде наг весь день той и всю нощь. Того ради глаголаху: еда и Саул во пророцех?
