< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 Then David went away from there, and he fled to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all of his father’s house had heard of it, they descended to him there.
И отиде Давид оттуду, и спасеся, и прииде в пещеру Одолламску: и слышавше братия его и дом отца его, приидоша к нему тамо.
2 And all those left in distress, or oppressed by debt to strangers, or bitter in soul, gathered themselves to him. And he became their leader, and about four hundred men were with him.
И собрашася к нему всяк иже в нужде, и всяк должник, и всяк печальный душею, и бе ими обладаяй, и бяше с ним яко четыреста мужей.
3 And David set out from there to Mizpah, which is of Moab. And he said to the king of Moab, “I beg you, let my father and my mother remain with you, until I know what God will do for me.”
И отиде Давид оттуду в Массифаф Моавитский и рече к царю Моавитску: да будут ныне отец мой и мати моя у тебе, дондеже познаю, что сотворит мне Бог.
4 And he left them before the face of the king of Moab. And they stayed with him for all the days that David was in the stronghold.
И умоли лице царя Моавитска, и пребываху у него по вся дни, сущу Давиду во области той.
5 And the prophet Gad said to David: “Do not choose to stay in the stronghold. Set out and go into the land of Judah.” And so, David set out, and he went into the forest of Hereth.
И рече Гад пророк к Давиду: не седи во области сей: иди, и да внидеши в землю Иудину. И иде Давид и пришед седе в граде Сарих.
6 And Saul heard that David, and the men who were with him, had been seen. Now while Saul was staying in Gibeah, and while he was in the forest that is in Ramah, holding a spear in his hand, with all his servants standing around him,
И слыша Саул, яко познан бысть Давид, и мужие иже с ним: и Саул седяше на холме под дубравою яже в Раме, и копие в руку его, и вси отроцы его предстояху ему.
7 he said to his servants who were assisting him: “Listen now, you sons of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give to all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make all of you tribunes or centurions,
И рече Саул ко отроком своим предстоящым ему: слышите ныне, сынове Вениаминовы, аще воистинну всем вам даст сын Иессеев села и винограды и поставит вас всех в сотники и тысящники:
8 so that you would all conspire against me, and so that there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son has formed a pact with the son of Jesse? There is no one among you who grieves for my situation, or who would report to me. For my son has raised up my servant against me, seeking to betray me, even to this day.”
яко вси согласистеся на мя, и несть открываяй во ухо мое, егда положи завет сын мой с сыном Иессеовым, и несть от вас ни един боляй о мне и возвещаяй во ушы мои, яко воздвиже сын мой раба моего на мя врага, якоже день сей?
9 Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was standing near, and who was first among the servants of Saul, responding, said: “I saw the son of Jesse, in Nob, with Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, the priest.
И отвеща Доик Сирин приставленый над мсками Сауловыми и рече: видех сына Иессеева пришедша в Номву ко Авимелеху сыну Ахитову иерею:
10 And he consulted the Lord for him, and he gave him food. Moreover, he gave him the sword of Goliath, the Philistine.”
и вопрошаше о нем Бога, и брашно вдаде ему, и мечь Голиафа иноплеменника вдаде ему.
11 Then the king sent to summon Ahimelech, the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all of his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob, and they all came before the king.
И посла царь призвати Авимелеха сына Ахитова, и вся сыны отца его иереи от Номвы. И приидоша вси к царю.
12 And Saul said to Ahimelech, “Listen, son of Ahitub.” He responded, “Here I am, lord.”
И рече Саул: слыши ныне, сыне Ахитов. И рече: се, аз, глаголи, господине.
13 And Saul said to him: “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse? For you gave him bread and a sword, and you consulted the Lord for him, so that he might rise up against me, continuing as a traitor even to this day.”
И рече ему Саул: почто совещался еси на мя ты и сын Иессеев, яко вдал еси ему хлеб и мечь, и вопрошал еси о нем Бога положити его на мя во врага, якоже день сей?
14 And responding to the king, Ahimelech said: “But who among all your servants is as faithful as David? And he is the son-in-law of the king, and he goes forth at your order, and he is a glory within your house.
И отвеща Авимелех царю и рече: и кто во всех рабех твоих верен якоже Давид, и зять царев, и князь всем заповедем твоим, и славен в дому твоем?
15 Did I begin to consult the Lord for him today? May this be far from me! Let not the king suspect this kind of thing against his servant, nor against anyone in all my father’s house. For your servant did not know anything about this matter, either small or great.”
Еда днесь начах вопрошати о нем Бога? Никако: да не возложиши, царю, на раба твоего словесе сего, и на весь дом отца моего, яко не ведяше раб твой во всех сих словесе мала, или велика.
16 And the king said, “You shall die a death, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”
И рече царь Саул: смертию умреши, Авимелех, ты и весь дом отца твоего.
17 And the king said to the emissaries who were standing around him: “You shall turn, and put to death the priests of the Lord. For their hand is with David. They knew that he had fled, and they did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king were not willing to extend their hands against the priests of the Lord.
И рече царь скороходцем предстоящым пред ним: приведите и избийте иереи Господни, яко рука их с Давидом, и понеже познаша, яко бежит той, и не возвестиша во ушию моею. И не хотяху отроцы царевы возложити рук своих на иереи Господни.
18 And the king said to Doeg, “You shall turn and rush against the priests.” And Doeg, the Edomite, turned and rushed against the priests. And he massacred, on that day, eighty-five men, vested with the linen ephod.
И рече царь Доику: обратися ты, и устремися на иереи. И обратися Доик Сирин, и уби иереев Господних в той день, триста пять мужей, всех носящих ефуд:
19 Then he struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword; he struck down men and women, little ones and infants, as well as ox and donkey and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
и Номву град иерейский погуби острием оружия от мужеска полу и до женска, от отрока и до ссущаго, и телца и осла и овчате.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, whose name was Abiathar, escaping, fled to David.
И угонзе един сын Авимелеха сына Ахитова, имя ему Авиафар, и бежа вслед Давида.
21 And he reported to him that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.
И возвести Авиафар Давиду, яко изби Саул вся иереи Господни.
22 And David said to Abiathar: “I knew, on that day when Doeg, the Edomite was there, that without doubt he would report it to Saul. I am guilty of all the souls of your father’s house.
И рече Давид ко Авиафару: ведях в день той, яко тамо бе Доик Сирин, яко возвещая возвестит Саулу: аз есмь виновен о душах дому отца твоего:
23 You should remain with me. Do not be afraid. For he who seeks my life, seeks your life also, but with me you shall be saved.”
седи со мною, не бойся, яко идеже аще взыщу души моей место, взыщу и души твоей, яко сохранен будеши ты у мене.
