И$ бы'сть въ дн~и т^ы и^ събра'шася и^ноплеме'нницы в поlки своя, и^зыити` и^ бра'тися съ і^и^л~ьты. и^ реq а^кхђсъ къ дв~дђ. разђмњя разђмњи, ја%ко со мно'ю и^сходи'ши на' брань, т^ы и^ мђжи твои”

¹

And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together with their armies to go out to fight with Israel; and Anchus said to David, Know surely, that thou shalt go forth to battle with me, thou, and thy men.

²

И$ рече дв^дъ къ а^кхђсђ эT нн~њ да разђмњ'еши ја%ко сътвори'тъ ра'бъ твой. и^ рече а^къхђ'съ къ дв~дђ. тњмже нача'лника во'емъ, и^ храни'теля поставля'ю т^я въ вс^я дн~и”

²

And David said to Anchus, Thus now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Anchus said to David, So will I make thee captain of my body-guard continually.

³

И$ самоиl ё^ме'рлъ б^њ и^ рыда'ше по немъ ве'сь і^и^л~ь. и^ погребо'ша и& в сармаџе'мњ въ градњ е^го и^ саё'лъ и^зби` во'лхвы, и^ разђмники земля` свое^я”

³

And Samuel died, and all Israel lamented for him, and they bury him in his city, in Armathaim. And Saul had removed those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

⁴

И$ събра'вшеся и^ноплеме'нницы пришеDше ста'ша в сано'мњ. и^ събра` саё'лъ вс^я мђжи і^и^л~я, и^ пришеDше ста'ша в гелвђ'и”

⁴

And the Philistines assemble themselves, and come and encamp in Sonam: and Saul gathers all the men of Israel, and they encamp in Gelbue.

⁵

И$ ви'дњ саё'лъ по'лки и^ноплеме'нничи ё^боя'ся и^ ё^жасе'ся срDце е^го ѕњло”

⁵

And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was alarmed, and his heart was greatly dismayed.

⁶

И$ въпроси` саё^лъ г~а. и^ не эTвњща` е^мђ г~ь ничесо'же, ни въ снњ` ни ја%ве. ни пррoки”

⁶

And Saul enquired of the Lord; and the Lord answered him not by dreams, nor by manifestations, nor by prophets.

⁷

И$ рече саё^лъ ѓ%трокомъ свои^мъ. пои^щи'те м^и жены` ја%же и%мать волхвова'нїе в рђцњ`, і^ и^дђ` к неи въпрошђ` и&. и^ рњша ѓ%троцы е^го к немђ. с^е жена` ја%же и%мать в рђцњ` волшве'нїя въ е^ндо'ре”

⁷

Then Saul said to his servants, Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire of her: and his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who has in her a divining spirit at Aendor.

⁸

И$ съкры'ся саё'лъ, и^ ѓ^блече'ся в ризы и%ны. і^ и^дя'ше са'мъ и^ дв^а мђжа с ни'мъ. и^ прїиде но'щїю къ женњ`” И$ рече саё'лъ повражи` м^и, и^мњю^щи в рђцњ волшве'нїя. и^ приведи` м^и е^гоже рекђ ти”

⁸

And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he goes, and two men with him, and they come to the woman by night; and he said to her, Divine to me, I pray thee, by the divining spirit within thee, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to thee.

⁹

И$ рече е^мђ жена` с^е нн~њ т^ы самъ вњси, е^ли'ко сътвори` саё'лъ, и^ ка'ко расточи` и^мђща в рђка'хъ волшве'нїя, и^ разђмныя на земли` се'и. и^ ка'ко с^е т^ы ло'виши дш~ђ мою. да ё^мори'ши ю&”

⁹

And the woman said to him, Behold now, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards from the land, and why dost thou spread a snare for my life to destroy it?

¹⁰

И$ кля'тся к неи саё'лъ гл~я. жи'въ г~ь а^ще сря'щетъ т^я непра'вда ѓ^ словеси` семъ”

¹⁰

And Saul swore to her, and said, As the Lord lives, no injury shall come upon thee on this account.

¹¹

И$ рече жена саё'лови. кого възведђ` ти. и^ рече саё'лъ само'ила възведи` м^и”

¹¹

And the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to thee? and he said, Bring up to me Samuel.

¹²

И$ ви'дњ жена` само'ила и^ възъгласи` гла'сомъ, и^ рече жена` к саё'лђ, почт^о м^я прельсти` и^ ты` е^си саё'лъ”

¹²

And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.

¹³

И$ рече е'и цр~ь, не бо'ися и^зрещи`, ја%коже ви'дњ. и^ рече е^мђ жена`. боги` ви'дњх# въсходя'ща эT земля`”

¹³

And the king said to her, Fear not; tell me whom thou hast seen. And the woman said to him, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

¹⁴

И$ рече е'и цр~ь ја%ко въ что'же е^сть ѓ%бразъ е^го и рече е^мђ жена`. ви'дњхъ мђжа ра'но сходя'ща эT земля`. и^ с^е ѓ^болче'нъ ѓ^дњја%ломъ. и^ разђмњ саё'лъ ја%ко само'илъ е^сть. и^ положи` лице свое` на земли`. и^ поклони'ся е^мђ до зеMля

¹⁴

And he said to her, What didst thou perceive? and she said to him, An upright man ascending out of the earth, and he was clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and did obeisance to him.

¹⁵

И$ рече е^мђ само'илъ. чт^о с^е нђдиши м^я взыити` м^и. и^ рече саё'лъ скорблю` ѕњло, ја%ко и^ноплеме'нницы въю'ютъ на' мя, и^ г~ь эTстђпи` эT мене`, и^ ё^же не послђшае^тъ мене` ктомђ. ни рђка'ми пррoческими, ни въ снњхъ. ни въ ја^вле'нїи. и^ нн~њ призва'х тя да наста'виши м^я чт^о сътворю`”

¹⁵

And Samuel said, Why hast thou troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of prophets or by dreams: and now I have called thee to tell me what I shall do.

¹⁶

И$ рече само'иl чт^о въпраша'еши м^я а^ г~ь эTстђпиl е^сть эT тебе` и^ г~ь ё^же съ ю^нњ'ишим# тебе”

¹⁶

And Samuel said, Why askest thou me, whereas the Lord has departed from thee, and taken part with thy neighbour?

¹⁷

И$ сътвори'лъ е^сть тебњ, ја%коже гл~а мно'ю. и^ эTи'метъ г~ь црsтвотвое иZ рђкђ твою, и^ вда'сть и& ближнемђ ти дв~дђ”

¹⁷

And the Lord has done to thee, as the Lord spoke by me; and the Lord will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David,

¹⁸

Поне'же т^ы не послђша гла'са гн~я. и^ не и^спо'лни гнњва ја%рости е^го на а^м#мали'цњ. гл~а ради того` сътвори` тебњ г~ь с^и въ дн~и сїи”

¹⁸

because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalec, therefore the Lord has done this thing to thee this day.

¹⁹

И$ преда'сть г~ь і^и^л~я и^с тобо'ю, в рђки и^ноплеме'нникъ. и^ ё'трот^ы и^ сн~ове твои` падђтъ с тобо'ю, и^ по'лкъ і^и^л~евъ да'сть г~ь в рђцњ и^ноплеме'нъникъ”

¹⁹

And the Lord shall deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines, and to-morrow thou and thy sons with thee shall fall, and the Lord shall deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.

²⁰

И$ потща'вся саё'лъ ја%коже стоя` и^ паде` на земли`. и^ възбоя'ся ѕњло эT лица` словесе` само'и^ля. и^ не бы'сть ктомђ` крњ'пости в немъ. ја%ко не я'лъ хлњба ве'сь дн~ь то'и и^ вс^ю но'щь т^ђ”

²⁰

And Saul instantly fell at his full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no longer any strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day, and all that night.

²¹

И$ вни'де жена` къ саё'лђ и^ ви'дњ е^го ја%ко смяте'ся саёl ѕњло и^ рече к немђ с^е нн~њ слы'ша раба` твоя гла'съ твой. и^ положи'хъ дш~ђ мою в рђцњ твои`. и^ послђшахъ словесъ ја^же ми б^њ гл~алъ”

²¹

And the woman went in to Saul, and saw that he was greatly disquieted, and said to him, Behold now, thine handmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have heard the words which thou hast spoken to me.

²²

И$ нн~њ ё^же послђш'аи гла'са рабы` твое^я. и^ положђ` преD тобо'ю насыще'нїе хлњба и^ ја%ждъ, и^ бђдетъ в тебњ крњпость. и^ по сеM и%деши в пђть

²²

And now hearken, I pray thee, to the voice of thine handmaid, and I will set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat, and thou shalt be strengthened, for thou wilt be going on thy way.

²³

и^ не хотя'ше ја%сти” И$ понђжа'хђ и& ја%сти, ѓ%троцы е^го и^ жена`, и^ послђша гла'са и^хъ. и^ въста'въ эT земля` и^ сњде на' двое мы'сля.

²³

But he would not eat; so his servants and the woman constrained him, and he hearkened to their voice, and rose up from the earth, and sat upon a bench.

²⁴

и^ бњ женњ то'и в домђ` ю%ница и^ подви'гшися заколе` и&. и^ взе'мши мђкђ` вмњси`. и^ сътвори` хлњбъ”

²⁴

And the woman had a fat heifer in the house; and she hasted and slew it; and she took meal and kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes.

²⁵

И$ принесе` преD саё'ла, и^ преD ѓ%троки е^го. и^ ја%ша и^ въста'вше тои` но'щи и^ эTи^до'ша”

²⁵

And she brought the meat before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate, and rose up, and departed that night.
