And the Lord said to Samuel, How long dost thou mourn for Saul, whereas I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thy horn with oil, and come, I will send thee to Jessæ, to Bethleem; for I have seen among his sons a king for me.

¹

И# речE гDь къ самуи1лу: док0лэ ты2 плaчеши њ саyлэ, ѓзъ же ўничижи1хъ є3го2, не цaрствовати во ї}ли; нап0лни р0гъ тв0й є3лeа и3 пріиди2, послю1 тz ко їессeю до виfлеeма, ћкw ўзрёхъ въ сынёхъ є3гw2 себЁ царS.

²

And Samuel said, How can I go? whereas Saul will hear of it, and slay me: and the Lord said, Take a heifer in thine hand and thou shalt say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.

²

И# речE самуи1лъ: кaкw пойдY; и3 ўслhшитъ саyлъ, и3 ўбіeтъ мS. И# речE гDь: ю4ницу t волHвъ возми2 въ рyцэ твои2 и3 речeши: пожрeти гDеви и3дY:

³

And thou shalt call Jessæ to the sacrifice, and I will make known to thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint him whom I shall mention to thee.

³

и3 призовeши їессeа и3 сhны є3гw2 къ жeртвэ: и3 ѓзъ ти2 покажY, ±же сотвори1ши, и3 помaжеши ми2, є3г0же ти2 рекY.

⁴

And Samuel did all that the Lord told him; and he came to Bethleem: and the elders of the city were amazed at meeting him, and said, Dost thou come peaceably, thou Seer?

⁴

И# сотвори2 самуи1лъ вс‰, є3ли6ка речE є3мY гDь: и3 пріи1де въ виfлеeмъ, и3 ўжас0шасz старBйшины грaда њ пришeствіи є3гw2 и3 рёша: ми1ръ ли вх0дъ тв0й, q, прозорли1вче;

⁵

And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. Sanctify yourselves, and rejoice with me this day: and he sanctified Jessæ and his sons, and he called them to the sacrifice.

⁵

И# речE: ми1ръ: пожрeти гDу пріид0хъ: њсвzти1тесz и3 возвесели1тесz днeсь со мн0ю. И# њсвzти2 їессeа и3 сhны є3гw2, и3 призвA | къ жeртвэ.

⁶

And it came to pass when they came in, that he saw Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him.

⁶

И# бhсть внегдA вни1ти и5мъ, и3 ви1дэ є3ліaва и3 речE: сeй ли пред8 гDемъ помaзанникъ є3гw2;

⁷

But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance, nor on his stature, for I have rejected him; for God sees not as a man looks; for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.

⁷

И# речE гDь самуи1лу: не зри2 на лицE є3гw2, нижE на в0зрастъ вели1чества є3гw2, ћкw ўничижи1хъ є3го2: понeже не тaкw зри1тъ человёкъ, ћкw зри1тъ бGъ: ћкw человёкъ зри1тъ на лицE, бGъ же зри1тъ на сeрдце.

⁸

And Jessæ called Aminadab, and he passed before Samuel: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.

⁸

И# призвA їессeй ґмінадaва и3 предстaви є3го2 пред8 лицE самуи1ла. И# речE (самуи1лъ): нижE сегw2 и3збрA гDь.

⁹

And Jessæ caused Sama to pass by: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.

⁹

И# приведE їессeй саммаA. И# речE: и3 сегw2 не и3збрA гDь.

¹⁰

And Jessæ caused his seven sons to pass before Samuel: and Samuel said, The Lord has not chosen these.

¹⁰

И# приведE їессeй сeдмь сынHвъ свои1хъ пред8 самуи1ла. И# речE самуи1лъ ко їессeю: не и3збрA гDь t си1хъ.

¹¹

And Samuel said to Jessæ, Hast thou no more sons? And Jessæ said, There is yet a little one; behold, he tends the flock. And Samuel said to Jessæ, Send and fetch him, for we may not sit down till he comes.

¹¹

И# речE самуи1лъ ко їессeю: не достaло ли ўжE дэтeй; И# речE їессeй: є3щE є4сть є3ди1нъ мaлъ, и3 сeй пасeтъ на пaжити. И# речE самуи1лъ ко їессeю: посли2 и3 приведи2 є3го2, ћкw не возлsжемъ, д0ндеже пріи1детъ т0й сёмw.

¹²

And he sent and fetched him: and he was ruddy, with beauty of eyes, and very goodly to behold. And the Lord said to Samuel, Arise, and anoint David, for he is good.

¹²

И# послA, и3 введE є3го2: и3 т0й чeрменъ, д0брыма nчи1ма, и3 блaгъ вз0ромъ гDеви. И# речE гDь къ самуи1лу: востaни и3 помaжи давjда, ћкw сeй блaгъ є4сть.

¹³

And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel arose, and departed to Armathaim.

¹³

И# пріS самуи1лъ р0гъ со є3лeемъ и3 помaза є3го2 посредЁ брaтіи є3гw2. И# ношaшесz д¦ъ гDень над8 давjдомъ t тогw2 днE и3 пот0мъ. И# востA самуи1лъ и3 tи1де во ґрмаfeмъ.

¹⁴

And the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.

¹⁴

И# д¦ъ гDень tступи2 t саyла, и3 давлsше є3го2 дyхъ лукaвый t гDа.

¹⁵

And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from the Lord torments thee.

¹⁵

И# рёша џтроцы саyлwвы къ немY: сE, нн7э дyхъ лукaвый t гDа дaвитъ тS:

¹⁶

Let now thy servants speak before thee, and let them seek for our lord a man skilled to play on the harp; and it shall come to pass when an evil spirit comes upon thee and he shall play on his harp, that thou shalt be well, and he shall refresh thee.

¹⁶

да рекyтъ раби2 твои2 нн7э пред8 тоб0ю, и3 взhщутъ господи1ну нaшему мyжа знaюща пёти въ гyсли: и3 внегдA бyдетъ дyхъ лукaвый на тебЁ, и3 тогдA да поeтъ въ гyсли сво‰, и3 блaго ти2 бyдетъ, и3 ўпок0итъ тS.

¹⁷

And Saul said to his servants, Look now out for me a skilful player, and bring him to me.

¹⁷

И# речE саyлъ ко nтрокHмъ свои6мъ: посмотри1те ми2 мyжа д0брэ пою1ща и3 введи1те є3го2 ко мнЁ.

¹⁸

And one of his servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jessæ the Bethleemite, and he understands playing on the harp, and the man is prudent, and a warrior, and wise in speech, and the man is handsome, and the Lord is with him.

¹⁸

И# tвэщA є3ди1нъ t џтрwкъ є3гw2 и3 речE: сE, ви1дэхъ сhна їессeова и3з8 виfлеeма, и3 т0й вёсть пёніе, и3 мyжъ разyменъ, и3 борeцъ, и3 мyдръ въ словеси2, и3 мyжъ блaгъ ви1домъ, и3 гDь съ ни1мъ.

¹⁹

And Saul sent messengers to Jessæ, saying, Send to me thy son David who is with thy flock.

¹⁹

И# послA саyлъ вёстники ко їессeю, глаг0лz: tпусти2 ко мнЁ давjда сhна твоего2, и4же ў стaда твоегw2.

²⁰

And Jessæ took a homer of bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sent them by the hand of his son David to Saul.

²⁰

И# взS їессeй брeмz хлёбwвъ и3 мёхъ вінA и3 козлS t к0зъ є3ди1но, и3 послA къ саyлу рук0ю давjда сhна своегw2.

²¹

And David went in to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.

²¹

И# вни1де давjдъ къ саyлу, и3 предстоsше пред8 ни1мъ, и3 возлюби2 є3го2 ѕэлw2 саyлъ, и3 бhсть є3мY носsй nрyжіе є3гw2.

²²

And Saul sent to Jessæ, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.

²²

И# послA саyлъ ко їессeю, глаг0лz: да предстои1тъ давjдъ предо мн0ю, ћкw њбрёте благодaть пред8 nчи1ма мои1ма.

²³

And it came to pass when the evil spirit was upon Saul, that David took his harp, and played with his hand: and Saul was refreshed, and it was well with him, and the evil spirit departed from him.

²³

И# бhсть внегдA бhти дyху лукaву на саyлэ, и3 взимaше давjдъ гyсли и3 и3грaше рук0ю своeю, и3 tдыхaше саyлъ, и3 блaго є3мY бsше, и3 tступaше t негw2 дyхъ лукaвый.
