¹

And it came to pass when David and his men had entered Sekelac on the third day, that Amalec had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Sekelac, and smitten Sekelac, and burnt it with fire.

¹

И бы́сть приходя́щу даві́ду и муже́мъ єго́ къ секела́гу въ де́нь тре́тій, и Амали́къ нападе́ на ю́жную страну́ и на секела́гъ, и порази́ секела́гъ и сожже́ єго́ огне́мъ:

²

And as to the women and all things that were in it, great and small, they slew neither man nor woman, but carried them captives, and went on their way.

²

же́нъ же и всѣ́хъ су́щихъ въ не́мъ от ма́ла до вели́ка не умертви́ша му́жа ни жены́, но плѣни́ша, и отидо́ша въ пу́ть сво́й.

³

And David and his men came into the city, and, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were carried captive.

³

И пріи́де даві́дъ и му́жіє єго́ во гра́дъ, и се́, сожже́нъ бя́ше огне́мъ, жены́ же и́хъ и сы́нове и́хъ и дще́ри и́хъ плѣне́ни бы́ша.

⁴

And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.

⁴

И воздви́же даві́дъ и му́жіє єго́ гла́съ сво́й и пла́кашася до́ндеже не бѣ́ въ ни́хъ си́лы ктому́ пла́катися.

⁵

And both the wives of David were carried captive, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

⁵

И жены́ о́бѣ даві́довы плѣне́ни бы́ша, Ахінаа́мъ Ієзраилі́тыня, и Авіге́а бы́вшая жена́ Нава́ла карми́лскаго.

⁶

And David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, each for his sons and his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

⁶

И оскорбѣ́ даві́дъ зѣло́, я́ко совѣща́шася лю́діє ка́меніємъ поби́ти єго́, я́ко скорбна́ бя́ше душа́ всѣ́хъ люді́й коєго́ждо о сынѣ́хъ свои́хъ и о дще́рехъ свои́хъ. И укрѣпи́ся даві́дъ о Го́сподѣ Бо́зѣ своє́мъ,

⁷

And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.

⁷

и рече́ даві́дъ ко Авіа́ѳару ієре́ю сы́ну Авімеле́хову: принеси́ Єфу́дъ. И принесе́ Авіа́ѳаръ Єфу́дъ къ даві́ду.

⁸

And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? and he said to him, Pursue, for thou shalt surely overtake them, and thou shalt surely rescue the captives.

⁸

И вопроси́ даві́дъ Го́спода, глаго́ля: пожену́ ли вслѣ́дъ по́лчища сего́? и пости́гну ли и́хъ? И рече́ Госпо́дь: гони́, я́ко постиза́я пости́гнеши и́хъ и избавля́я изба́виши.

⁹

So David went, he and the six hundred men with him, and they come as far as the brook Bosor, and the superfluous ones stopped.

⁹

И и́де даві́дъ са́мъ и ше́сть со́тъ муже́й съ ни́мъ, и пріидо́ша да́же до пото́ка Восо́рска, про́чіи же оста́шася:

¹⁰

And he pursued them with four hundred men; and there remained behind two hundred men, who tarried on the other side of the brook Bosor.

¹⁰

и гна́ съ четы́рми сты́ муже́й, двѣ́сти же муже́й оста́шася, и́же сѣдо́ша объ о́нъ по́лъ пото́ка Восо́рска.

¹¹

And they find an Egyptian in the field, and they take him, and bring him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they caused him to drink water.

¹¹

И обрѣто́ша му́жа Єги́птянина на селѣ́, и я́ша єго́, и приведо́ша єго́ къ даві́ду, и да́ша єму́ хлѣ́ба, и яде́, и напои́ша єго́ водо́ю:

¹²

And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and he ate, and his spirit was restored in him; for he had not eaten bread, and had not drunk water three days and three nights.

¹²

и да́ша єму́ ча́сть смо́квей, и яде́, и укрѣпи́ся ду́хъ єго́ въ не́мъ, я́ко не яде́ хлѣ́ба и не пи́ воды́ три́ дни́ и три́ но́щы.

¹³

And David said to him, Whose art thou? and whence art thou? and the young man the Egyptian said, I am the servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill three days ago.

¹³

И рече́ єму́ даві́дъ: отку́ду єси́, и чі́й єси́ ты́? И рече́ о́трокъ Єги́птянинъ: а́зъ є́смь ра́бъ му́жа Амаликі́тянина, и оста́ви мя́ господи́нъ мо́й, я́ко изнемого́хъ дне́сь уже́ тре́тій де́нь:

¹⁴

And we made an incursion on the south of the Chelethite, and on the parts of Judea, and on the south of Chelub, and we burnt Sekelac with fire.

¹⁴

и мы́ ходи́хомъ на ю́гъ до хеле́ѳі и на іуде́йскія страны́ и на гелву́й, и секела́гу пожго́хомъ огне́мъ.

¹⁵

And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? and he said, Swear now to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down upon this troop.

¹⁵

И рече́ єму́ даві́дъ: доведе́ши ли мя́ до по́лчища сего́? И рече́: клени́ся ми́ Бо́гомъ, я́ко не убіє́ши мя́ и не преда́си мя́ въ ру́цѣ господи́ну моєму́, и доведу́ тя до по́лчища сего́.

¹⁶

So he brought him down thither, and behold, they were scattered abroad upon the surface of the whole land, eating and drinking, and feasting by reason of all the great spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.

¹⁶

[И кля́тся єму́ даві́дъ:] и приведе́ єго́ она́мо, и се́, ті́и разсѣ́яни бы́ша по лицу́ всея́ земли́, яду́ще и пію́ще и пра́зднующе о всѣ́хъ коры́стехъ вели́кихъ, я́же взя́ша от земли́ иноплеме́нничи и от земли́ Іу́дины.

¹⁷

And David came upon them, and smote them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted on camels, and fled.

¹⁷

И пріи́де на ни́хъ даві́дъ, и изби́ и́хъ от у́тра да́же до ве́чера и нау́тріє: и не спасе́ся от ни́хъ му́жъ, ра́звѣ четы́реста о́трокъ, и́же всѣдо́ша на велблю́ды и убѣжа́ша.

¹⁸

And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his wives.

¹⁸

И отъя́ даві́дъ вся́ єли́ка взя́ша Амаликі́ты, и о́бѣ жены́ своя́ отъя́,

¹⁹

And nothing was wanting to them of great or small, either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or anything that they had taken of theirs; and David recovered all.

¹⁹

и не поги́бе и́мъ от ма́ла да́же до вели́ка, и от коры́стей, и да́же до сыно́въ и дще́рей и да́же до всѣ́хъ, я́же взя́ша, и вся́ возврати́ даві́дъ:

²⁰

And he took all the flocks, and the herds, and led them away before the spoils: and it was said of these spoils, These are the spoils of David.

²⁰

и взя́ даві́дъ вся́ стада́ и па́ствины, и погна́ предъ плѣ́номъ: и плѣ́нъ о́ный нарица́шеся се́й плѣ́нъ даві́довъ.

²¹

And David comes to the two hundred men who were left behind that they should not follow after David, and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Bosor; and they came forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him: and David drew near to the people, and they asked him how he did.

²¹

И пріи́де даві́дъ къ двѣма́ сто́мъ муже́мъ оста́вшымся ити́ вслѣ́дъ даві́да, и́хже посади́ на пото́цѣ Восо́рстѣ, и изыдо́ша на срѣ́теніє даві́ду и на срѣ́теніє лю́демъ и́же съ ни́мъ: и пріи́де даві́дъ до люді́й, и вопроси́ша єго́ о ми́рныхъ.

²²

Then every ill-disposed and bad man of the soldiers who had gone with David, answered and said, Because they did not pursue together with us, we will not give them of the spoils which we have recovered, only let each one lead away with him his wife and his children, and let them return.

²²

И отвѣща́ша вси́ му́жіє па́губніи и лука́вніи от муже́й ра́тныхъ ходи́вшихъ съ даві́домъ и рѣ́ша: я́ко не гони́ша съ на́ми, не дади́мъ и́мъ от плѣ́на, єго́же взя́хомъ, но то́кмо кі́йждо жену́ свою́ и ча́да своя́ да во́змутъ и возвратя́тся.

²³

And David said, Ye shall not do so, after the Lord has delivered the enemy to us, and guarded us, and the Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against us.

²³

И рече́ даві́дъ: не сотвори́те, бра́тія моя́, та́ко, повнегда́ предаде́ Госпо́дь на́мъ и сохрани́ на́съ, и предаде́ Госпо́дь по́лчище сіє́ наше́дшеє на ны́ въ ру́ки на́шя:

²⁴

And who will hearken to these your words? for they are not inferior to us; for according to the portion of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the portion of him that abides with the baggage; they shall share alike.

²⁴

и кто́ послу́шаєтъ ва́шихъ слове́съ си́хъ? я́ко не ме́нши на́съ су́ть: поне́же по ча́сти исходя́щаго на бра́нь, та́ко бу́детъ ча́сть сѣдя́щаго при сосу́дѣхъ, по тому́жде раздѣля́тся.

²⁵

And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this day.

²⁵

И бы́сть от дне́ того́ и вы́ше, и бы́сть въ повелѣ́ніє и на оправда́ніє Ізра́илю да́же до дне́ сего́.

²⁶

And David came to Sekelac, and sent of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying, Behold some of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord;

²⁶

И пріи́де даві́дъ въ секела́гъ, и посла́ старѣ́йшинамъ от коры́стей Іу́диныхъ и и́скреннимъ свои́мъ, глаго́ля: се́, ва́мъ благослове́ніє от коры́стей враго́въ Госпо́днихъ,

²⁷

to those in Bæthsur, and to those in Rama of the south, and to those in Gethor.

²⁷

су́щымъ въ веѳсу́рѣ и въ ра́мѣ ю́жнѣй и въ геѳо́рѣ,

²⁸

And to those in Aroer, and to those in Ammadi, and to those in Saphi, and to those in Esthie, and to those in Geth, and to those in Cimath, and to those in Saphec, and to those in Themath,

²⁸

и во Арои́рѣ и во Амма́дѣ, и во Сафѣ́ и во єсѳі́фѣ и въ ге́ѳѣ,

²⁹

and to those in Carmel, and to those in the cities of Jeremeel, and to those in the cities of the Kenezite;

²⁹

и въ кіна́нѣ и въ Сафе́цѣ, и въ Ѳима́ѳѣ и въ карми́лѣ, и су́щымъ во градѣ́хъ ієреміи́ла и во градѣ́хъ Кенезі́я,

³⁰

and to those in Jerimuth, and to those in Bersabee, and to those in Nombe,

³⁰

и су́щымъ во ієріму́ѳѣ и во вирсаве́и и въ номвѣ́,

³¹

and to those in Chebron, and to all the places which David and his men had passed through.

³¹

и су́щымъ въ Хевро́нѣ, и во вся́ мѣста́, я́же про́йде даві́дъ та́мо са́мъ и му́жіє єго́.
