Первая книга Царств 14

1 И бысть во един день, и рече Ионафан сын Саулов отрочищу носящему оружие его: гряди, и прейдем в мессаву иноплеменников иже на оней стране. И отцу своему не возвести сего.

Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

2 И Саул седяше на верху холма под древом яблонным еже в Магдоне, и бяше с ним яко шесть сот мужей.

Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;

3 И Ахиа сын Ахитов, брата Иохаведова, сына Финеесова, сына Илии, иерей Божий в Силоме нося ефуд: и людие не ведяху, яко отиде Ионафан.

and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people did not know that Jonathan was gone.

4 Посреде же прехода, идеже хотяше Ионафан прейти в стан иноплеменничь, бысть камень острый отсюду и камень острый отюнуду: имя единому Васес и другому Сенна:

Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 камень един стояше от севера противу Махмаса, и камень вторый от юга противу Гаваи.

The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

6 И рече Ионафан ко отрочищу носящему оружие его: гряди, прейдем в мессаву необрезанных сих, негли что сотворит нам Господь, яко несть Господу не удобно спасти во многих или в малых.

Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint on Jehovah to save by many or by few."

7 И рече ему носяй оружие его: твори все, на неже сердце твое склоняется: се, аз с тобою есмь, якоже сердце твое сердце мое.

His armor bearer said to him, "Do all that your heart inclines toward. Look, I am with you, my heart is as your heart."

8 И рече Ионафан: се, мы прейдем к мужем и явимся к ним:

Then Jonathan said, "Look, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.

9 аще сия рекут к нам: помедлите тамо, дондеже возвестим вам: то постоим сами на месте своем и не пойдем к ним:

If they say thus to us, 'Wait until we come to you.' then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.

10 аще же к нам сице рекут: взыдите к нам: то взыдем, яко предаде их Господь в руки нашя: сие нам знамение (да будет).

But if they say this, 'Come up to us.' then we will go up; for Jehovah has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us."

11 И внидоста оба в мессаву иноплеменников. И глаголаша иноплеменницы: се, Еврее исходят из разселин своих, идеже скрышася.

Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves."

12 И отвещаша мужие мессавли ко Ионафану и к носящему оружие его, и реша: взыдите к нам, и явим вам глагол. И рече Ионафан к носящему оружие его: гряди по мне, яко предаде их Господь в руки Израилевы.

The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me; for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel."

13 И взыде Ионафан (ползущь) на руках и на ногах своих, и носяй оружие его за ним. И узреша иноплеменницы лице Ионафане, и порази их: и носяй оружие его идяше вслед его.

Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.

14 И бысть язва первая, еюже порази Ионафан и носяй оружие его, яко двадесять мужей копийцами и каменовержением и кремением полевым.

That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.

15 И бысть ужас в полце и на селе: и вси людие иже в мессаве и губящии ужаснушася, и тии не хотяху братися: и вострепета земля, и бысть ужас от Господа.

And there was a terror in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and even the raiders were terrified. And the earth quaked, and it became a terror of God.

16 И видеша соглядатае Сауловы в Гаваи Вениамини, и се, полк смятеся семо и онамо.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw, and look, the multitude was scattering here and there.

17 И рече Саул людем сущым с ним: разсмотрите ныне и видите, кто отиде от вас. И разсмотриша, и се, не обретеся Ионафан и носяй оружие его.

Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Count now, and see who is missing from us." When they had counted, look, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

18 И рече Саул ко Ахии: принеси ефуд, яко бе кивот Божий в той день с сынми Израилевыми.

And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring near the ephod," for he wore the ephod at that time before Israel.

19 И бысть егда глаголаше Саул ко иерею, и шум в полце иноплеменничи ходя идяше и множашеся. И рече Саул ко иерею: пригни руки твоя.

And it happened, while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

20 И изыде Саул и вси людие иже с ним, и изыдоша до сечи. И се, бысть оружие коегождо на ближняго своего, (и бысть) мятеж велик зело.

Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and look, every man's sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion.

21 Но и раби, иже быша со иноплеменники вчера и третияго дне, вшедшии в полк, обратишася и тии еже быти им со Израилтяны сущими с Саулом и со Ионафаном.

Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, they too turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 И вси Израилтяне скрывшиися в горе Ефремли услышаша, яко отбегоша иноплеменницы: приложишася и тии вслед их на брань.

Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed closely after them in the battle.

23 И спасе Господь в той день Израиля: брань же пройде даже до Вамофа: и вси людие бяху с Саулом, яко десять тысящ мужей, и бе брань разсыпана во весь град на горе Ефремли.

So Jehovah saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth Aven. And all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men. And the battle extended itself into every city in the hill country of Ephraim.

24 И Саул сотвори безумие велие в день той, и закля люди, глаголя: проклят человек, иже ясти будет хлеб даже до вечера, дондеже отмщу врагом моим. И не вкусиша людие вси хлеба:

And Saul committed a great blunder that day, for he had placed the people under an oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

25 и вся земля обедаше: и се, бяше дубрава пчелная пред лицем села:

All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.

26 и внидоша людие во пчелник, и се, исхождаху глаголюще: (яко истече мед, ) и не бе возвращающаго руки своея ко устом своим, яко убояшася людие клятвы Господни.

When the people had come to the forest, look, a flow of honey, but no man would raise his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

27 Ионафан же не слышаше, егда заклинаше отец его люди: и простре конец жезла своего, иже в руку ему, и омочи его в соте медвене, и обрати руку свою во уста своя, и прозреша очи его.

But Jonathan did not hear when his father commanded the people with the oath, so he put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.

28 И рече един от людий, глаголя: кленый прокля отец твой люди, глаголя: проклят человек, иже ясти будет хлеб в день сей: и изнемогоша людие.

Then one of the people answered, and said, "Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, 'Cursed is the man who eats food this day.'" The people were faint.

29 И уразуме Ионафан и рече: смути отец мой землю: виждь, яко прозреша очи мои, егда вкусих мало от меда сего:

Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

30 о, дабы яли ядуще днесь людие от корыстей врагов своих, ихже обретоша, множайшая бы днесь язва была во иноплеменницех.

How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies when they found it, for the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater."

31 И поразиша в день той от иноплеменников множае нежели в Махмасе: и утрудишася людие зело.

They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;

32 И устремишася людие на корысти, и пояша людие стада и буйволы и говяда: и закалаху на земли, и ядоша людие с кровию.

and the people pounced upon the spoil, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.

33 И возвестиша Саулу, глаголюще: согрешиша людие ко Господу, ядуще с кровию. И рече Саул: от гефема привалите мне семо камень велий.

Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against Jehovah, in that they eat meat with the blood." He said, "You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me this day."

34 И рече Саул: шедше к людем рцыте им: да принесет кийждо семо телца своего и кийждо овцу свою, и да заколют на камени сем, и ядите я, и не согрешайте Господу ядуще с кровию. И приведоша нощию вси людие свое кийждо, еже имяше в руце своей, и закалаху тамо.

Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, 'Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and do not sin against Jehovah in eating meat with the blood.'" All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.

35 И созда Саул тамо олтарь Господу: сей нача Саул созидати олтарь Господу.

Saul built an altar to Jehovah. This was the first altar that he built to Jehovah.

36 И рече Саул: снидем вслед иноплеменник нощию, и расхитим их, дондеже заря будет, и не оставим от них мужа. И реша: все еже благо пред очима твоима, твори. И рече иерей: приступим семо к Богу.

Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." They said, "Do whatever seems good to you." Then the priest said, "Let us draw near here to God."

37 И вопроси Саул Бога: сниду ли вслед иноплеменников? Предаси ли их в руки Израилтяном? И не отвеща ему Господь в день той.

Saul asked counsel of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.

38 И рече Саул: приведите семо вся колена Израилева, и уразумейте и увеждьте, на ком бысть грех сей днесь,

And Saul said, "Come here, all you leaders of the people; and investigate and see how this sin has arisen today.

39 яко жив Господь спасый Израиля, яко аще ответ будет на Ионафана сына моего, смертию да умрет. И не бе отвещающаго от всех людий.

For, as Jehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

40 И рече Саул всему Израилю: вы станите на едину страну, аз же и Ионафан сын мой станем на другую страну. И реша людие к Саулу: еже благо пред тобою, твори.

Then he said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." The people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."

41 И рече Саул: Господи Боже Израилев, что яко не отвещал еси рабу Твоему днесь? Или моя есть, или сына моего Ионафана неправда? Господи Боже Израилев, даждь знамение: и аще речеши сия, даждь ныне людем Твоим Израилю, даждь ныне преподобие. И паде жребий на Ионафана и Саула, и людие изыдоша.

Therefore Saul said, "Jehovah, God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this sin is mine or in Jonathan my son, Jehovah, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this sin is in your people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people were cleared.

42 И рече Саул: верзите жребий на мя и на Ионафана сына моего: егоже объявит Господь, смертию да умрет. И реша людие к Саулу: несть сей глагол. И преможе Саул люди, и вергоша о нем и Ионафане сыне его, и паде на Ионафана жребий.

And Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. Whomever Jehovah shall indicate to be taken by lot, let him die." And the people said to Saul, "This thing is not to be." And Saul prevailed over the people, and they cast lots between him and Jonathan his son. And Jonathan was selected.

43 И рече Саул ко Ионафану: возвести ми, что сотворил еси? И возвести ему Ионафан и рече: вкушая вкусих мало меду омочив конец жезла, иже в руку моею, и се, аз умираю.

Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand; and look, I must die."

44 И рече ему Саул: сия да сотворит ми Бог, и сия да приложит ми, яко смертию умреши днесь.

Saul said, "God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan."

45 И реша людие к Саулу: еда днесь умрет сотворивый спасение сие велие во Израили? Не буди то, жив Господь, аще падет влас главы его на землю, яко милость Божию сотвори в день сей. И помолишася людие о Ионафане в день той, и не умре.

The people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

46 И не иде Саул вслед иноплеменников: иноплеменницы же отидоша в место свое.

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

47 И Саул укрепися царствовати во Израили, и побеждаше окрест вся враги своя в Моаве и в сынех Аммоних и в сынех Едомлих и в Вефоре и в царствии Сувани и во иноплеменницех: и аможе аще обращашеся, спасашеся.

Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the people of Ammon, and against Edom, and against Beth Rehob, and against the king of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he was victorious.

48 И сотвори силу, и победи Амалика, и избави Израиля из руки попирающих его.

And he did valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hand of its plunderers.

49 И беша сынове Сауловы Ионафан и Иисуй и Мелхисуе: имена же двою дщерию его, имя первородней Мерова и имя вторей Мелхола:

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malkishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the younger Mikal:

50 имя же жене его Ахиноома, дщерь Ахимаасова: и имя старейшине вой его Авенир сын Нира сына ужика Саулова:

and the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abiner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

51 Кис же отец Саулов, и Нир отец Авениров сын иамина сына Авиилева.

Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

52 И бе брань крепка на иноплеменники во вся дни Сауловы: и видев Саул всяка мужа сильна и всяка мужа сына силы, собираше их к себе.

There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
