< 1 Samuel 23 >

1 David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
И возвестиша Давиду, глаголюще: се, иноплеменницы облегоша Кеиль, и расхищают и попирают плоды.
2 Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” The LORD said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
И вопроси Давид Господа, глаголя: аще пойду и избию иноплеменники сия? И рече Господь: иди, и победиши иноплеменники сия, и спасеши Кеиль.
3 David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
И реша мужие Давидовы к нему: се, мы зде во Иудеи боимся, и како будет, аще идем в Кеиль, в плен иноплеменников внидем?
4 Then David enquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
И приложи еще Давид вопросити Господа. И отвеща ему Господь и рече ему: востани и сниди в Кеиль, яко Аз предаю иноплеменники в руце твои.
5 David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
И иде Давид и мужие его с ним в Кеиль, и брашася со иноплеменники: и бежаша (иноплеменницы) от лица его, и взя скоты их, и порази их язвою великою, и спасе Давид живущыя в Кеиле.
6 When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
И бысть егда бежа Авиафар сын Авимелехов к Давиду, и той с Давидом в Кеиль сниде, имый ефуд в руце своей.
7 Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”
И возвестися Саулу, яко прииде Давид в Кеиль. И рече Саул: предаде его Бог в руце мои, яко заключися вшед в град (имущь) врата и вереи.
8 Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
И заповеда Саул всем людем на брань снити в Кеиль, яти Давида и мужы его.
9 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
И уведе Давид, яко не премолкает злобы о нем Саул, и рече Давид ко Авиафару жерцу: принеси ефуд Господень.
10 Then David said, “O LORD, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
И рече Давид: Господи Боже Израилев, слышав услыша раб Твой, яко ищет Саул приити на Кеиль растлити град мене ради:
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” The LORD said, “He will come down.”
аще заключится? И ныне аще снидет Саул, якоже слыша раб Твой? Господи Боже Израилев, возвести рабу Твоему. И рече Господь: заключится.
12 Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” The LORD said, “They will deliver you up.”
И рече Давид: аще предадят мя иже в Кеиле, и мужы моя в руки Саули? И рече Господь: предадят.
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
И воста Давид и мужие его с ним, яко четыреста, и изыдоша из Кеилы, и идоша, аможе хотяху. И возвестиша Саулу, яко угонзе Давид из Кеилы: и остави ити.
14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.
И седе Давид в Масереме в пустыни во узинах, и седяше в пустыни на горе Зиф, в земли знойне: и искаше его Саул во вся дни, и не предаде его Бог в руце его.
15 David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
И виде Давид, яко исходит Саул искати его: и Давид бяше на горе знойне, в дубраве Зиф.
16 Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.
И воста Ионафан сын Саулов и иде к Давиду в дубраву, и утверди руце его во Господе,
17 He said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
и рече к нему: не бойся, яко не имать обрести тебе рука отца моего Саула, и ты имаши царствовати во Израили, и аз буду по тебе другий, и Саул отец мой уведа тако.
18 They both made a covenant before the LORD. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went to his house.
И положиста оба завет пред Господем: и седяше Давид в дубраве, а Ионафан отиде в дом свой.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
И изыдоша Зифее от знойныя земли к Саулу на холм, глаголюще: не се ли Давид скрыся у нас в Мессаре во узинах в дубраве на холме Ехелатсте, иже одесную Иесемона?
20 Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
И ныне все еже по души цареве ко исхождению, да снидет (убо) к нам: заключиша бо его в руки царевы.
21 Saul said, “You are blessed by the LORD, for you have had compassion on me.
И рече им Саул: благословени вы Господеви, яко поболесте о мне:
22 Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very cunning.
идите ныне, и уготовите еще, и познайте место его, идеже будет нога его вскоре, тамо идеже ресте, да не како прехитрит:
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out amongst all the thousands of Judah.”
и видите и уразумейте о всех местех, идеже той крыется, и возвратитеся ко мне на готово, и иду с вами: и будет, аще есть на земли, изыскати имам его во всех тысящах Иудиных.
24 They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
И восташа Зифее, и идоша пред Саулом: Давид же и мужие его бяху в пустыни Маон к западу одесную Иесемона.
25 Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
И иде Саул и мужие его искати Давида. И возвестиша Давиду, и сниде ко каменю иже в пустыни Маон. И услыша Саул, и погна вслед Давида в пустыню Маон.
26 Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
И идяше Саул и мужие его от страны горы отсюду, Давид же бе и мужие его от страны горы отюнуду: и бе Давид укрываяся ити от лица Сауля, а Саул и мужие его ополчишася на Давида и на мужы его яти их.
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
И прииде вестник к Саулу глаголя: потщися и иди, яко нападоша иноплеменницы на землю твою.
28 So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
И возвратися Саул не гнати вслед Давида, и иде противу иноплеменником: сего ради наречеся место оно Камень Разделенный.
29 David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
И воста Давид оттуду и седе во узинах Енгадди.
