1 Samuel 21
1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the cohen. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no man with you?"
И прииде Давид в Номву ко Авимелеху иерею: и ужасеся Авимелех о пришествии его и рече ему: что яко ты един, и никтоже с тобою?
2 David said to the cohen, "The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, 'Let no man know anything of the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you; and I have arranged to meet the young men at a certain place.'
И рече Давид иерею: царь заповеда ми глагол днесь и рече ко мне: никтоже да уразумеет глагола, егоже ради аз посылаю тя и о немже аз заповедаю ти: и отроки оставих на месте глаголемем еммоним:
3 Now, if there are five loaves of bread under your control, give them into my hand, or whatever there is."
и ныне аще суть у тебе пять хлебы, даждь ми елико имаши.
4 And the cohen answered David, and said, "There is no common bread in my control, but there is holy bread. If the young men have kept themselves from women, they may eat of it."
И отвеща иерей Давиду и рече: не суть хлебы прости у мене, но точию хлебы у мене священнии: аще сохранени отроцы суть токмо от жены, снедят.
5 And David answered the cohen, and said to him, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I set out. All the young men are holy, even when it is an ordinary mission. So how much more today will their vessels be holy?"
И отвеща Давид иерею и рече ему: и (мы) от жен воздержахомся вчера и третияго дне: отнележе изыдох аз на путь, быша вси отроцы очищени, и сей путь нечист, но освятится днесь сосуд ради моих.
6 So the cohen gave him what had been consecrated, for there was no bread there but the show bread, that had been removed before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
И даде ему Авимелех иерей хлебы предложения, яко тамо не бе хлеба, но токмо хлебы лица, иже взяты от лица Господня, еже предложитися хлебу теплому, в оньже день взя их.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
И бе тамо един от отрок Сауловых в день он удержан пред Господем, и имя ему Доик Сирин, (старейшина от пастырь Сауловых, ) пасый мски Сауловы.
8 David said to Ahimelech, "Isn't there here under your control spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."
И рече Давид ко Авимелеху: виждь, аще есть зде у тебе копие или мечь, яко меча моего и оружия моего не взях с собою, яко царево повеление внезапу ми бысть.
9 The cohen said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, look, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind an ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here." David said, "There is none like that. Give it to me."
И рече иерей: се, мечь Голиафа иноплеменника, егоже ты убил еси во юдоли Ила, и той обвит бяше в ризу за ефудом: аще той хощеши взяти, возми себе, несть бо инаго зде кроме сего. И рече Давид: се, несть якоже той: даждь ми его. И даде его ему.
10 David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
И воста Давид, и убеже в той день от лица Саулова, и прииде Давид ко Анхусу царю Гефску.
11 The servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another about him in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?'"
И реша отроцы Анхусовы к нему: не сей ли Давид царь земли? Не сему ли изыдоша (жены) ликующыя, глаголющя: победи Саул с тысящами своими, и Давид со тмами своими?
12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
И положи Давид глаголы сия в сердцы своем, и убояся зело от лица Анхуса царя Гефска.
13 He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and drummed on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.
И измени лице свое пред ним, и притворися в день той, и бияше во врата града, яко в тимпан, и падаше на руки своя, и паде у врат града, и слины своя точаше по браде своей.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?
И рече Анхус ко отроком своим: се, видесте мужа неистова, почто его введосте ко мне?
15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"
Еда не имею аз неистовых, яко введосте его, да беснуется предо мною? Сей да не внидет в дом мой.
