And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas the Ammanite went up, and encamped against Jabis Galaad: and all the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.

¹

И$ бы'сть ја%ко по мsцы, и^ възы'и^де наа'съ а^мани'тянинъ. и^ ѓ^полчи'ся на а^ви'са галааDскаго. и^ рњша вс^и мђ'жи а^ви'тъстїи, къ наа'сђ а^мани'тянинђ, положи` на'мъ завњтъ и^ рабо'тае^мъ т^и.

²

And Naas the Ammanite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I should put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.

²

и^ реq к ни'мъ наа'съ аMмани'тянинъ. сїи завњтъ положђ` ва'мъ, да и^зверчђ` комђ'ждо васъ ѓ%ко десно'е, и^ положђ` поноше'нїе всемђ` і^и^л~ю”

³

And the men of Jabis say to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the coasts of Israel: if there should be no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.

³

И$ рњша е^мђ мђж'и а^ви'та галаа'дъского. ѓ^ста'ви на'мъ, з~, дн~и да по'слемъ вњ'стники въ вся` предњ'лы і^и^л~евы, и^ а^ще не бђ'детъ сп~саю^щего насъ. т^о и^зы'идемъ к ваM”

⁴

And the messengers came to Gabaa to Saul, and they speak the words into the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

⁴

И$ прїидо'ша вњ'стницы в# гаваѓ'нъ къ саё%лђ. и^ повњ'даша словеса` с^и, въ ё%ши всњ'хъ люді'и. и^ въздви'гнђша вси лю'дїе глаs сво'и, и^ пла'кашася”

⁵

And, behold, Saul came after the early morning out of the field: and Saul said, Why does the people weep? and they tell him the words of the men of Jabis.

⁵

И$ с^е саё%лъ пришеD заё%тра съ села` слы'шавъ рњ'чъ. и^ рече саё%лъ чт^о с^е пла'четъ лю'дъ. и^ сказа'ша е^мђ гл~ы мђж'ъ а^ви'тъскихъ”

⁶

And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled against them.

⁶

И$ снїиде дх~ъ гн~ь на саё%ла, ја%ко ё^слы'ша сїа. и^ разгнњ'вася на' ня ѕњ'ло”

⁷

And he took two cows, and cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoso comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall they do to his oxen: and a transport from the Lord came upon the people of Israel, and they came out to battle as one man.

⁷

И$ пои^мъ дв^њ говя'дњ и^ раздроби` я& на ё%ды. и^ посла` въ вс^я предњ'лы і^и^л~евы, рђка'ми вњ'стникъ гл~я. и^же не бђ'деT и^ды'и въ слњ'дъ саё%ла, и^ въ слњ'дъ само'и^ла. т^о сїе сътво'ряT говя'дома е^го. и^ сни'де ё%жасъ бж~їи на і^и^л~ьты. і^ и^зыидо'ша ја%ко е^ді'нъ мђж'ъ”

⁸

And he reviews them at Bezec in Bama, every man of Israel six hundred thousand, and the men of Juda seventy thousand.

⁸

И$ съчте` и^хъ саё%лъ, и^ бы'сть всњхъ мђжїи і^и^л~ьтескихъ, Wу~. и^ мђже'и і^ё%диныхъ, Wл~”

⁹

And he said to the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabis, To-morrow ye shall have deliverance when the sun is hot; and the messengers came to the city, and told the men of Jabis, and they rejoiced.

⁹

И$ рече вњ'стникомъ пришеDшимъ. та'ко повњ'дите мђже'мъ а^виDскимъ галаа'ды, ё%тро бђ'детъ ва'мъ сп~сенїе въсходя'щђ слн~цђ. и^ пріидо'ша вњ'стницы въ граD, и^ възвњсти'ша мђже'мъ а^виDскимъ, и^ възра'довашася”

¹⁰

And the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, To-morrow we will come forth to you, and ye shall do to us what seems good in your sight.

¹⁰

И$ рњша мђжи а^ви'тстїи къ наа'сђ а^м#мани'тянинђ” О$у'тро и^зы'идеM к ваM, и^ сътвори'те намъ бл~гое преD ѓ^чи'ма ва'шима”

¹¹

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Saul divided the people into three companies, and they go into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they smote the children of Ammon until the day was hot; and it came to pass that those who were left were scattered, and there were not left among them two together.

¹¹

И$ бы'сть ё%тро, и^ с^е саё%лъ раздњли` во'я на г~, по'лки. и^ внидо'ша по'средњ по'лковъ. въ стра'жђ ё%тренюю. і^ и^зби'ша сн~ы а^м#мани'тъски, до'ндеже разогрњ'ся дн~ь. і^ и'же ѓ^ста'ся эT иX, разбњго'шася. и^ не ѓ^ста'шася ни дв^а эT ниX въкђ'пњ”

¹²

And the people said to Samuel, Who has said that Saul shall not reign over us? Give up the men, and we will put them to death.

¹²

И рњша лю'дїе къ само'и^лђ, кт^о е^сть рекїи, ја%ко да саё%лъ не црsтвђ'етъ над на'ми. дадњт'е ча'дь т^ђ намъ і^ и^збїемъ ю&”

¹³

And Saul said, No man shall die this day, for to-day the Lord has wrought deliverance in Israel.

¹³

И$ рече саё%лъ да не ё%мретъ и^ н^и е^ді'нъ въ дн~е'шнїи дн~ь. ја%ко дне'сь сътвори` г~ь спsнїе въ і^и^л~и”

¹⁴

And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, Let us go to Galgala, and there renew the kingdom.

¹⁴

И$ рече само'и^лъ къ люде'мъ гл~я. прїидњт'е да и'демъ въ галга'лы и^ ѓ^бновиM т^ђ црsтво”

¹⁵

And all the people went to Galgala, and Samuel anointed Saul there to be king before the Lord in Galgala, and there he offered meat-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord: and Samuel and all Israel rejoiced exceedingly.

¹⁵

І$ и^до'ша вс^и лю'дїе в# галга'лы. и^ пома'за т^ђ само'илъ саё'ла на црsтво, преD гм~ъ в галга'лXњ” И$ пожро'ша т^ђ жр'ътвы ми'рны преD гм~ъ. и^ възвесели'ся т^ђ саё%лъ и^ вс^и мђжи і^и^л~еви до конца`”
