Первая книга Царств 27
1 И рече Давид в сердцы своем, глаголя: ныне впаду в день един в руки Саули, и не будет ми благо, аще не спасуся в земли иноплеменничи, и престанет Саул искати мене во всяком пределе Израилеве, и спасуся из руки его.
David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So I will escape out of his hand.”
2 И воста Давид и шесть сот мужей иже с ним, и иде ко Агхусу сыну Аммахову царю Гефску.
David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 И пребысть Давид у Агхуса в Гефе, сам и мужие его вси и дом его, и Давид и обе жены его, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня и Авигеа жена Навала Кармилскаго.
David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
4 И возвестиша Саулу, яко отбеже Давид в Геф, и не приложи ктому (Саул) искати его.
Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped looking for him.
5 И рече Давид ко Агхусу: аще обрете раб твой благодать пред очима твоима, да даси ми место во единем от градов иже на селе, и сяду тамо: и вскую седит раб твой во граде царственнем с тобою?
David said to Achish, “If now I have found favour in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
6 И даде ему Агхус в день той Секелаг: сего ради бысть царю Иудейску Секелаг до днешняго дне.
Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
7 И бысть число дний, в няже седяше Давид на селе иноплеменничи, четыри месяцы.
The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 И восхождаше Давид и мужие его и нападаху на всякаго Гессера и на Амаликита, и се, земля населяшеся от Ламсура и до земли Египетския:
David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land who were of old, on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
9 и поражаше Давид землю, и не оставляше в живых мужеска полу и женска: и взимаху стада, и буйволицы и ослята, и велблюды и ризы, и возвращающеся прихождаху ко Агхусу.
David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned, and came to Achish.
10 И рече Агхус к Давиду: на кого нападосте ныне? И рече Давид ко Агхусу: к югу Иудеи и к югу Иесмеги и к югу Кенезиа:
Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?” David said, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.”
11 и мужеска полу и женска не оставлях в живых еже вводити в Геф, глаголя: да не возвестят в Гефе на нас, глаголюще: сия творит Давид. И сие оправдание его во вся дни, в няже седяше Давид на селе иноплеменничи.
David saved neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, “Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”
12 И уверися Давид Агхусу зело, глаголя: омерзением омерзе в людех своих во Израили, и будет ми раб во веки.
Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”
