И$ рече само'и^лъ къ всњ'мъ люде'мъ і^и^л~евымъ, с^е слы'шаX гла'съ ва'шъ ѓ^ всњ'хъ е^ли'ко м^и рњ'сте. и^ поста'вихъ над ва'ми цр~я”

¹

And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all things that ye have said to me, and I have set a king over you.

²

И$ с^е нн~њ цр~ь прехо'дитъ преD ва'ми. а^зъ же състарњхся и^ сњ'дъ. и^ сн~ове мои` съ мно'ю. и^ а^зъ б^о преходи'хъ преD ва'ми, эT ю'ности мое^я до дн~е'шняго дн~е”

²

And now, behold, the king goes before you; and I am grown old and shall rest; and, behold, my sons are among you; and, behold, I have gone about before you from my youth to this day.

³

И с^е а^зъ вњща'ите м^и преD гм~ъ, и^ преD хм~ъ е^го. е^да` ё^ кого` ваs те'лца взяX, или ѓ^сля`. и^ли кого` васъ насил#ствова'хъ, и^л^и эT кого` ва'съ взя'хъ чт^о. и^ли эT рђ'кђ нњ'кого эT васъ прїя'хъ м#здђ, и^ли та'йно взяX. вњща'ите на' мя, и^ възвращђ` ва'мъ”

³

Behold, here am I, answer against me before the Lord and before his anointed: whose calf have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom of you have I oppressed? or whom have I been violent with? or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, even to a sandal? bear witness against me, and I will make restitution to you.

⁴

И$ рњша къ само'и^лђ, нњ'си насъ ничиMже ѓ^би'дњлъ ни наси'л#ствоваl е^си на наs. ни'же разгра'билъ е^си на'съ. н^и м#зды` взя'лъ е^си эT на'съ. н^иже взя'лъ эT рђкы` ничїе^я же ничтоже”

⁴

And they said to Samuel, Thou hast not injured us, and thou hast not oppressed us; and thou hast not afflicted us, and thou hast not taken anything from any one's hand.

⁵

И$ рече само'и^лъ къ люде'мъ. свњдњт'ель е^сть г~ь на ва'съ. и^ свњдњт'ель е^сть х~с е^го, въ дн~е'шнїи дн~ь ја%ко нњ'сте ѓ^брњ'ли въ рђ'кђ мое^ю ничтоже. и^ рњша лю'дїе свњдњт'ель”

⁵

And Samuel said to the people, The Lord is witness among you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found anything in my hand: and they said, He is witness.

⁶

И$ реq само'и^лъ па'ки къ люде'мъ. гл~я, свњдњт'ель е^сть г~ь, сътвори'выи мољ=сїя и^ а^а^ро'на, і^ и^зведы'и эT земля` е^гљ=пет#скїа эTц~а на'ша”

⁶

And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, The Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron is witness, who brought our fathers up out of Egypt.

⁷

И$ нн~њ преDста'нњте. и^ эTвњща'ю ва'мъ преD гм~ъ. и^ възвњщ'ђ ваM вс^ю пра'вдђ гн~ю, ја%же сътвори` ва'мъ и^ эTц~емъ ва'шимъ”

⁷

And now stand still, and I will judge you before the Lord; and I will relate to you all the righteousness of the Lord, the things which he has wrought among you and your fathers.

⁸

Є$гда б^о вни'де і^а'ковъ и^ сн~ове е^го въ е^гљ=петъ, и^ смири'ша и^хъ ѕњло е^гљ=птяне. и^ възопи'ша эTц~ы на'ши къ г~ђ. и^ посла` иM г~ь мољ=сїя и^ а^а^ро'на, і^ и^зведо'ша эTц~а на'ша и^зъ е^гљ=пта, и^ въсели'ста иX на мњ'стњ се'мъ,

⁸

When Jacob and his sons went into Egypt, and Egypt humbled them, then our fathers cried to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron; and they brought our fathers out of Egypt, and he made them to dwell in this place.

⁹

н^о забы'ша г~а б~а свое^го. и^ въда'стъ я& в рђ'цњ сиса'рњ а^рхистрати'гђ, и^а^ви'сђ цр~ю а^со'рскђ. и^ въ рђ'кы и^ноплеме'нникъ, и^ въ рђцњ цр~я моа'въска. и^ побњжа'хђ я&”

⁹

And they forgot the Lord their God, and he sold them into the hands of Sisara captain of the host of Jabis king of Asor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the king of Moab; and he fought with them.

¹⁰

И възопи'ша къ г~ђ и^ рњ'ша съгрњши'хомъ ја%ко ѓ^ста'вихомъ г~а, и^ порабо'тахомъ ваа'ломъ и^ а^старо'џомъ. и^ нн~њ и^зми` н^ы эT рђ'къ вра'гъ на'шиX, и^ порабо'таемъ т^и”

¹⁰

And they cried to the Lord, and said, We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and the groves: and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

¹¹

И$ посла` г~ь и^е^роваа'ла и^ вара'ка, и^ е^џа'я, и^ само'и^ла, і^ и^зя` в^ы и^з рђ'къ вра'гъ ва'шиX, ѓ%крsтныX и^ ѓ^бита'сте ё^пова'юще,

¹¹

And he sent Jerobaal, and Barac, and Jephthae, and Samuel, and rescued us out of the hand of our enemies round about, and ye dwelt in security.

¹²

и^ вњ'сте ја%ко наа^съ цр~ь сн~ъ а^м#мо'нь прїиде на' вы. и^ рњ'сте м^и, н^и, н^о цр~ь, да црsтвђе'тъ над на'ми. вънегда` г~ь б~ъ црsтвова` наD ва'ми,

¹²

And ye saw that Naas king of the children of Ammon came against you, and ye said, Nay, none but a king shall reign over us; whereas the Lord our God is our king.

¹³

и^ с^е нн~њ цр~ь е^го'же избра'сте, и^ его'же проси'сте, и^ с^е да'сть г~ь над ва'ми цр~я”

¹³

And now behold the king whom ye have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you.

¹⁴

А/ще ё^бои'теся г~а, и^ порабо'таете емђ и^ послђш'аете гла'са его, и^ не эTвр'ьжетеся ё^сте'нъ гн~ь. и^ бђ'детъ ва'мъ цр~ь црsтвђя наD ва'ми и^ в^ы бђ'дете въ слњдъ г~а ходя'ще, рђка` гн~я не бђ'детъ наD ва'ми”

¹⁴

If ye should fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the Lord, and ye and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord, well.

¹⁵

А$ще л^и не послђш'аете гла'са гн~я. и^ речете` проти'вђ ё^стомъ гн~имъ, бђ'детъ рђка` гн~я на ва'съ, и^ на цр~и ва'шеM. и^ потреби'тъ ва'съ.

¹⁵

But if ye should not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and ye should resist the mouth of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king.

¹⁶

и^ нн~њ ста'нете и^ ви'дите гла'съ се'и вели'кїи, и^же сътвори'тъ г~ь прDе ѓ^чи'ма ва'шима”

¹⁶

And now stand still, and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.

¹⁷

Нњсть л^и жа'тва пшени'цы, дне'сь призовђ` г~а, и^ да'сть гро'ми и^ тђ'ча. и^ въразђмњ'ете и^ ё^ви'дите, ја%ко ѕло'ба ва'ша вели'ка, ю%же сътвори'сте преD гм~ъ прося'ще себњ` цр~я”

¹⁷

Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; and know ye and see, that your wickedness is great which ye have wrought before the Lord, having asked for yourselves a king.

¹⁸

И$ призва` само'илъ г~а и^ да` г~ь гро'мъ и^ до'ждь в то'и дн~ь. и^ ё^боя'шася вс^и лю'дїе ѕњ'ло г~а, и^ само'и^ла”

¹⁸

And Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunders and rain in that day; and all the people feared greatly the Lord and Samuel.

¹⁹

И$ рњш'а вс^и лю'дїе къ само'илђ. помолися ѓ^ рабњ'хъ свои^хъ, г~ђ б~ђ свое^мђ. да не ё%мремъ. ја%ко приложи'хомъ къ всMњ грњхо'мъ на'шимъ ѕло'бђ на'шђ. прося'ще себњ` цр~я”

¹⁹

And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, and let us not die; for we have added to all our sins this iniquity, in asking for us a king.

²⁰

И$ рече само'илъ къ люде'мъ, не бо'итеся в^ы сътвори'сте вс^ю ѕло'бђ сїю'. то'кмо не ё^клони'теся эT за'дныхъ гн~ь. и^ порабо'таите г~ђ всњ'мъ срDцемъ ва'шимъ”

²⁰

And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have indeed wrought all this iniquity; only turn not from following the Lord, and serve the Lord with all your heart.

²¹

И$ не престђпи'те въ слњ'дъ, ничтоже сђщихъ. и^же не пособъствя'тъ, и^ не эTи'мђтъ я&. ја^ко ничтоже сђть”

²¹

And turn not aside after the gods that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver you, because they are nothing.

²²

Поне'же не ѓ^ста'витъ г~ь люді'и своиX, имени` ра'ди свое^го вели'кого. ја%ко крњпокъ г~ь. прїиметъ в^ы себњ` в лю'ди”

²²

For the Lord will not cast off his people for his great name's sake, because the Lord graciously took you to himself for a people.

²³

И$ да эTстђ'питъ эT мене` с^е ктомђ` не съгрњша'ти г~ђ. и^ е^же ктомђ` не моли'тися па'кы ѓ^ ваs къ г~ђ. н^о рабо'таю гв~и. и^ покажђ` ва'мъ пђт'ь бл~гъ и^ гла'докъ”

²³

And far be it from me to sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will serve the Lord, and shew you the good and the right way.

²⁴

То'кмо бо'итеся б~а. и^ рабо'таите е^мђ по и'стиннњ всњ'мъ срDцемъ ва'шимъ ја%ко свњ'сте. и^же вели'кая сътвори` г~ь с ва'ми”

²⁴

Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and with all your heart, for ye see what great things he has wrought with you.

²⁵

И$ а^ще ѕл^о сътво'рите то в^ы и^ цр~ь ва'шь сі'и поги'бнетъ”

²⁵

But if ye continue to do evil, then shall ye and your king be consumed.
