< 1 Samuel 30 >

1 And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.
И бысть приходящу Давиду и мужем его к Секелагу в день третий, и Амалик нападе на южную страну и на Секелаг, и порази Секелаг и сожже его огнем:
2 And they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.
жен же и всех сущих в нем от мала до велика не умертвиша мужа ни жены, но плениша, и отидоша в путь свой.
3 Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,
И прииде Давид и мужие его во град, и се, сожжен бяше огнем, жены же их и сынове их и дщери их пленени быша.
4 David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.
И воздвиже Давид и мужие его глас свой и плакашася дондеже не бе в них силы ктому плакатися.
5 For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
И жены обе Давидовы пленени быша, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня, и Авигеа бывшая жена Навала Кармилскаго.
6 And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.
И оскорбе Давид зело, яко совещашася людие камением побити его, яко скорбна бяше душа всех людий коегождо о сынех своих и о дщерех своих. И укрепися Давид о Господе Бозе своем,
7 And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
и рече Давид ко Авиафару иерею сыну Авимелехову: принеси ефуд. И принесе Авиафар ефуд к Давиду.
8 And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”
И вопроси Давид Господа, глаголя: пожену ли вслед полчища сего? И постигну ли их? И рече Господь: гони, яко постизая постигнеши их и избавляя избавиши.
9 Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.
И иде Давид сам и шесть сот мужей с ним, и приидоша даже до потока Восорска, прочии же осташася:
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.
и гна с четырми сты мужей, двести же мужей осташася, иже седоша об он пол потока Восорска.
11 And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might drink,
И обретоша мужа Египтянина на селе, и яша его, и приведоша его к Давиду, и даша ему хлеба, и яде, и напоиша его водою:
12 and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three nights.
и даша ему часть смоквей, и яде, и укрепися дух его в нем, яко не яде хлеба и не пи воды три дни и три нощы.
13 And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.
И рече ему Давид: откуду еси, и чий еси ты? И рече отрок Египтянин: аз есмь раб мужа Амаликитянина, и остави мя господин мой, яко изнемогох днесь уже третий день:
14 For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
и мы ходихом на юг до Хелефи и на Иудейския страны и на Гелвуй, и Секелагу пожгохом огнем.
15 And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.
И рече ему Давид: доведеши ли мя до полчища сего? И рече: кленися ми Богом, яко не убиеши мя и не предаси мя в руце господину моему, и доведу тя до полчища сего.
16 And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.
(И клятся ему Давид: ) и приведе его онамо, и се, тии разсеяни быша по лицу всея земли, ядуще и пиюще и празднующе о всех корыстех великих, яже взяша от земли иноплеменничи и от земли Иудины.
17 And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.
И прииде на них Давид, и изби их от утра даже до вечера и наутрие: и не спасеся от них муж, разве четыреста отрок, иже вседоша на велблюды и убежаша.
18 Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
И отя Давид вся елика взяша Амаликиты, и обе жены своя отя,
19 And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.
и не погибе им от мала даже до велика, и от корыстей, и даже до сынов и дщерей и даже до всех, яже взяша, и вся возврати Давид:
20 And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”
и взя Давид вся стада и паствины, и погна пред пленом: и плен оный нарицашеся сей плен Давидов.
21 Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.
И прииде Давид к двема стом мужем оставшымся ити вслед Давида, ихже посади на потоце Восорсте, и изыдоша на сретение Давиду и на сретение людем иже с ним: и прииде Давид до людий, и вопросиша его о мирных.
22 And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”
И отвещаша вси мужие пагубнии и лукавнии от мужей ратных ходивших с Давидом и реша: яко не гониша с нами, не дадим им от плена, егоже взяхом, но токмо кийждо жену свою и чада своя да возмут и возвратятся.
23 But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.
И рече Давид: не сотворите, братия моя, тако, повнегда предаде Господь нам и сохрани нас, и предаде Господь полчище сие нашедшее на ны в руки нашя:
24 And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”
и кто послушает ваших словес сих? Яко не менши нас суть: понеже по части исходящаго на брань, тако будет часть седящаго при сосудех, по томужде разделятся.
25 And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.
И бысть от дне того и выше, и бысть в повеление и на оправдание Израилю даже до дне сего.
26 Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”
И прииде Давид в Секелаг, и посла старейшинам от корыстей Иудиных и искренним своим, глаголя: се, вам благословение от корыстей врагов Господних,
27 to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,
сущым в Вефсуре и в Раме южней и в Гефоре,
28 and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,
и во Ароире и во Аммаде, и во Сафе и во Есфифе и в Гефе,
29 and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,
и в Кинане и в Сафеце, и в Фимафе и в Кармиле, и сущым во градех Иеремиила и во градех Кенезия,
30 and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,
и сущым во Иеримуфе и во Вирсавеи и в Номве,
31 and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
и сущым в Хевроне, и во вся места, яже пройде Давид тамо сам и мужие его.
