Первая книга Царств 19
1 И глагола Саул к Ионафану сыну своему и ко всем отроком своим, да умертвят Давида. Ионафан же сын Саулов любяше Давида зело.
Saul said to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, took great pleasure in David.
2 И возвести Ионафан Давиду, глаголя: отец мой Саул ищет тя убити: сохранися убо заутра рано, и скрыйся, и сяди втайне:
So Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning and hide yourself in a secret place.
3 и аз изыду, и стану при отце моем на селе, идеже еси ты: и аз возглаголю отцу моему о тебе, и узрю, что будет, и возвещу тебе.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. If I learn anything, I will tell you.”
4 И глагола Ионафан о Давиде благая к Саулу отцу своему, и рече к нему: да не согрешает царь на раба своего Давида, яко не согреши пред тобою, и дела его блага суть зело:
Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have brought you good.
5 и положи душу свою в руце своей и победи иноплеменника, и сотвори Господь спасение велико всему Израилю, и вси видеша и возрадовашася: и почто согрешаеши в кровь неповинну, еже убити Давида туне?
For he took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine. Yahweh brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 И послуша Саул гласа Ионафаня: и клятся Саул, глаголя: жив Господь, яко не умрет (Давид).
Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death.”
7 И призва Ионафан Давида и возвести ему вся глаголы сия, и введе Ионафан Давида к Саулу, и бе пред ним яко вчера и третияго дне.
Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 И приложися брань быти на Саула, и укрепися Давид, и победи иноплеменники, и изби язвою великою зело, и бежаша от лица его.
There was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with a great slaughter. They fled before him.
9 И бысть от Бога дух лукавый на Сауле, и той в дому своем седяше, и копие в руце его, Давид же играше руками своими:
A harmful spirit from Yahweh came on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and as David was playing his instrument.
10 и искаше Саул копием поразити Давида, и отступи Давид от лица Сауля, и удари Саул копием в стену: Давид же отшед спасеся в нощь ту.
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence, so that Saul drove the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
11 И посла Саул вестники в дом Давидов стрещи его, еже убити его рано. И возвести Давиду Мелхола жена его, глаголющи: аще ты не спасеши души твоея в нощь сию, заутра умреши.
Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him that he might kill him in the morning. Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
12 И свеси Мелхола Давида оконцем, и отиде, и убежа, и спасеся:
So Michal let David down through the window. He went and fled, and escaped.
13 и прият Мелхола тщепогребалная, и положи на одре, и печень козию положи на возглавии его, и покры я ризами.
Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed. Then she put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 И посла Саул вестники, да имут Давида, и рекоша, яко болен есть.
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
15 И посла Саул, да оглядают Давида, глаголя: принесите его на одре ко мне, еже умертвити его.
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David; he said, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I may kill him.”
16 И приидоша слуги, и се, тщепогребалная на одре и козия печень при возглавии его.
When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
17 И рече Саул к Мелхоле: почто тако обманула мя еси, и отпустила еси врага моего, и гонзе мене? И рече Мелхола Саулу: сам ми рече: отпусти мя: аще же ни, погублю тя.
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'”
18 И Давид убежа и спасеся, и иде к Самуилу во Армафем и поведа ему вся, елика сотвори ему Саул. И идоста Давид и Самуил и седоста в Навафе в Раме.
Now David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
19 И возвестиша Саулу, глаголюще: се, Давид в Навафе в Раме.
It was told to Saul, saying, “See, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20 И посла слуги Саул яти Давида, и видеша собор пророков, и Самуил стояше настоятель над ними: и бысть Дух Божий на слугах Саулих, и начаша прорицати.
Then Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 И возвестиша Саулу, и посла другия слуги, и прорицати начаша и тии. И приложи Саул послати слуги третия, и начаша и тии прорицати.
When Saul was told this, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 И разгневася гневом Саул, и иде и сам во Армафем, и прииде даже до кладязя гумна, еже есть в Сефе, и вопроси и рече: где есть Самуил и Давид? И реша: се, в Навафе в Раме.
Then he also went to Ramah and came to the deep well that is in Seku. He asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “See, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
23 И иде оттуду в Наваф (иже) в Раме: и бысть и на нем Дух Божий, и идяше идый и прорицая, дондеже приити ему в Наваф иже в Раме.
Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came upon him, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 И совлече ризы своя и прорицаше пред ними: и паде наг весь день той и всю нощь. Того ради глаголаху: еда и Саул во пророцех?
He stripped off his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why they ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
