Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ: посла́ мѧ гдⷭ҇ь пома́зати тѧ̀ на ца́рство въ лю́дехъ є҆гѡ̀ во і҆и҃ли: и҆ нн҃ѣ послꙋ́шай гла́са слове́съ гдⷭ҇нихъ:
1 Y SAMUEL dijo á Saúl: Jehová me envió á que te ungiese por rey sobre su pueblo Israel: oye pues la voz de las palabras de Jehová.
1 Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of Yahweh’s words.
2 сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ: нн҃ѣ ѿмщꙋ̀, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ а҆мали́къ і҆и҃лю, є҆гда̀ срѣ́те є҆го̀ на пꙋтѝ, восходѧ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ є҆гѵ́пта:
2 Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: Acuérdome de lo que hizo Amalec á Israel; que se le opuso en el camino, cuando subía de Egipto.
2 Yahweh of Armies says, ‘I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way when he came up out of Egypt.
3 и҆ нн҃ѣ ты̀ и҆дѝ, и҆ порази́ши а҆мали́ка и҆ і҆ері́ма, и҆ всѧ̑ ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не снабди́ши ѿ ни́хъ (ничто́же), и҆ и҆скорени́ши є҆го̀: и҆ проклене́ши є҆го̀ и҆ всѧ̑ сꙋ̑щаѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не пощади́ши є҆гѡ̀: и҆ да ᲂу҆бїе́ши ѿ мꙋ́жеска по́лꙋ и҆ до же́нска и҆ ѿ ю҆́ношъ и҆ до ссꙋ́щихъ млеко̀, и҆ ѿ говѧ́дъ до ѻ҆ве́цъ и҆ ѿ вельблю̑дъ до ѻ҆слѧ́тъ.
3 Ve pues, y hiere á Amalec, y destruiréis en él todo lo que tuviere: y no te apiades de él: mata hombres y mujeres, niños y mamantes, vacas y ovejas, camellos y asnos.
3 Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and don’t spare them; but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing baby, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
4 И҆ собра̀ лю́ди саꙋ́лъ и҆ сочтѐ ѧ҆̀ въ галга́лѣхъ двѣ́стѣ ты́сѧщъ пѣ́шихъ и҆ де́сѧть ты́сѧщъ ѿ і҆ꙋ́ды въ полцѣ́хъ:
4 Saúl pues juntó el pueblo, y reconociólos en Telaim, doscientos mil de á pie, y diez mil hombres de Judá.
4 Saul summoned the people, and counted them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 и҆ прїи́де саꙋ́лъ до градѡ́въ а҆мали́ковыхъ и҆ засѧ́де въ пото́цѣ.
5 Y viniendo Saúl á la ciudad de Amalec, puso emboscada en el valle.
5 Saul came to the city of Amalek, and set an ambush in the valley.
6 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ ко кїне́ови: и҆дѝ и҆ ᲂу҆клони́сѧ ѿ среды̀ а҆мали́ка, да не погꙋблю̀ тѧ̀ съ ни́мъ, ты́ бо сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ ми́лость съ сынмѝ і҆и҃левыми, є҆гда̀ и҆схожда́хꙋ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта. И҆ ᲂу҆клони́сѧ кїне́й ѿ среды̀ а҆мали́ка.
6 Y dijo Saúl al Cineo: Idos, apartaos, y salid de entre los de Amalec, para que no te destruya juntamente con él: pues que tú hiciste misericordia con todos los hijos de Israel, cuando subían de Egipto. Apartóse pues el Cineo de entre los de Amalec.
6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 И҆ поразѝ саꙋ́лъ а҆мали́ка ѿ є҆ѵїлы̀ да́же до сꙋ́ра, и҆́же пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѵ́пта:
7 Y Saúl hirió á Amalec, desde Havila hasta llegar á Shur, que está á la frontera de Egipto.
7 Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, which is before Egypt.
8 и҆ ꙗ҆́тъ а҆га́га царѧ̀ а҆мали́кова жи́ва, и҆ всѧ̑ лю́ди и҆збѝ, и҆ і҆ері́ма ᲂу҆бѝ мече́мъ.
8 Y tomó vivo á Agag rey de Amalec, mas á todo el pueblo mató á filo de espada.
8 He took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 И҆ сохранѝ саꙋ́лъ и҆ всѝ лю́дїе а҆га́га царѧ̀ жи́ва и҆ блага̑ѧ ѿ ста́дъ и҆ бꙋ́йволѡвъ, и҆ снѣ́дей (и҆ ѻ҆де́ждъ), и҆ вїногра́дѡвъ и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ благи́хъ: и҆ не хотѧ́хꙋ и҆скорени́ти ѧ҆̀, то́чїю хꙋ́ждшее и҆ ᲂу҆ничиже́ное и҆стреби́ша.
9 Y Saúl y el pueblo perdonaron á Agag, y á lo mejor de las ovejas, y al ganado mayor, á los gruesos y á los carneros, y á todo lo bueno: que no lo quisieron destruir: mas todo lo que era vil y flaco destruyeron.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, of the cattle, of the fat calves, of the lambs, and all that was good, and were not willing to utterly destroy them; but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 И҆ бы́сть гл҃го́лъ гдⷭ҇ень къ самꙋи́лꙋ, гл҃ѧ:
10 Y fué palabra de Jehová á Samuel, diciendo:
10 Then Yahweh’s word came to Samuel, saying,
11 раска́ѧхсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ пома́захъ саꙋ́ла на ца́рство, поне́же ѿврати́сѧ ѿ менє̀ и҆ слове́съ мои́хъ не соблюдѐ. И҆ ѡ҆печа́лисѧ самꙋи́лъ и҆ вопїѧ́ше ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ всю̀ но́щь.
11 Pésame de haber puesto por rey á Saúl, porque se ha vuelto de en pos de mí, y no ha cumplido mis palabras. Y apesadumbróse Samuel, y clamó á Jehová toda aquella noche.
11 “It grieves me that I have set up Saul to be king, for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night.
12 И҆ воста̀ ра́нѡ самꙋи́лъ, и҆ и҆дѧ́ше на срѣ́тенїе і҆и҃льтѧнѡмъ ра́нѡ. И҆ возвѣсти́ша самꙋи́лꙋ, глаго́люще: и҆́детъ саꙋ́лъ въ карми́лъ, и҆ сѐ, воздви́же рꙋ́кꙋ себѣ̀, и҆ возвратѝ колесни́цꙋ, и҆ сни́де въ галга́лы. И҆ прїи́де самꙋи́лъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ, и҆ сѐ, то́й возноша́ше всесожже́нїе гдⷭ҇ꙋ, пє́рваѧ ѿ коры́стей, и҆̀хже взѧ̀ ѿ а҆мали́кѡвъ.
12 Madrugó luego Samuel para ir á encontrar á Saúl por la mañana; y fué dado aviso á Samuel, diciendo: Saúl ha venido al Carmel, y he aquí él se ha levantado un trofeo, y después volviendo, ha pasado y descendido á Gilgal.
12 Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and Samuel was told, saying, “Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, turned, passed on, and went down to Gilgal.”
13 И҆ прїи́де самꙋи́лъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ саꙋ́лъ: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ ты̀ гдⷭ҇ꙋ, сотвори́хъ бо всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка (мѝ) гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь.
13 Vino pues Samuel á Saúl, y Saúl le dijo: Bendito seas tú de Jehová; yo he cumplido la palabra de Jehová.
13 Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, “You are blessed by Yahweh! I have performed the commandment of Yahweh.”
14 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ: и҆ кі́й гла́съ ста́дъ си́хъ во ᲂу҆́шїю моє́ю, и҆ гла́съ говѧ́дъ, є҆го́же а҆́зъ слы́шꙋ;
14 Samuel entonces dijo: ¿Pues qué balido de ganados y bramido de bueyes es este que yo oigo con mis oídos?
14 Samuel said, “Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?”
15 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ: ѿ а҆мали́ка пригна́хъ ѧ҆̀, и҆̀хже сохрани́ша лю́дїе лꙋ̑чшаѧ ѿ ста́дъ и҆ ѿ волѡ́въ, є҆́же пожре́ти ѧ҆̀ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀, прѡ́чаѧ же и҆зби́хъ.
15 Y Saúl respondió: De Amalec los han traído; porque el pueblo perdonó á lo mejor de las ovejas y de las vacas, para sacrificarlas á Jehová tu Dios; pero lo demás lo destruimos.
15 Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the cattle, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God. We have utterly destroyed the rest.”
16 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ: потерпѝ, и҆ возвѣщꙋ́ ти, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀ но́щїю.
16 Entonces dijo Samuel á Saúl: Déjame declararte lo que Jehová me ha dicho esta noche. Y él le respondió: Di.
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stay, and I will tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” He said to him, “Say on.”
17 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ (саꙋ́лъ): глаго́ли. И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ: є҆да̀ не ма́лъ бы́лъ є҆сѝ ты̀ пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ не властели́на ли тѧ̀ поста́ви хорꙋ́гви колѣ́на і҆и҃лева; и҆ пома́за тѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь на ца́рство і҆и҃лево:
17 Y dijo Samuel: Siendo tú pequeño en tus ojos ¿no has sido hecho cabeza á las tribus de Israel, y Jehová te ha ungido por rey sobre Israel?
17 Samuel said, “Though you were little in your own sight, weren’t you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel;
18 и҆ посла́ тѧ гдⷭ҇ь пꙋте́мъ и҆ речѐ тебѣ̀: и҆дѝ и҆ и҆скоренѝ а҆мали́ка, и҆ погꙋбѝ согрѣ́шшихъ предо мно́ю, и҆ вою́й и҆̀хъ, до́ндеже сконча́еши и҆̀хъ:
18 Y envióte Jehová en jornada, y dijo: Ve, y destruye los pecadores de Amalec, y hazles guerra hasta que los acabes.
18 and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’
19 и҆ почто̀ не послꙋ́шалъ є҆сѝ гла́са гдⷭ҇нѧ по всемꙋ̀, є҆ли́кѡ гл҃а тебѣ̀, но ᲂу҆стреми́лсѧ є҆сѝ на кѡры́сти и҆ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ лꙋка́вое пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ;
19 ¿Por qué pues no has oído la voz de Jehová, sino que vuelto al despojo, has hecho lo malo en los ojos de Jehová?
19 Why then didn’t you obey Yahweh’s voice, but took the plunder, and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight?”
20 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ къ самꙋи́лꙋ: послꙋ́шахъ гла́са люді́й и҆ и҆до́хъ пꙋте́мъ, и҆́мже посла́ мѧ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ приведо́хъ а҆га́га царѧ̀ а҆мали́кова, и҆ а҆мали́ки и҆скорени́хъ:
20 Y Saúl respondió á Samuel: Antes he oído la voz de Jehová, y fuí á la jornada que Jehová me envió, y he traído á Agag rey de Amalec, y he destruído á los Amalecitas:
20 Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed Yahweh’s voice, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 и҆ взѧ́ша лю́дїе кѡры́сти ѿ ста́дъ и҆ бꙋ́йволы, пє́рваѧ ѿ и҆стреблѧ́емыхъ на пожре́нїе гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ въ галга́лѣхъ.
21 Mas el pueblo tomó del despojo ovejas y vacas, las primicias del anatema, para sacrificarlas á Jehová tu Dios en Gilgal.
21 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and cattle, the best of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal.”
22 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ: є҆да̀ ᲂу҆гѡ́дны гдⷭ҇ꙋ всесожжє́нїѧ и҆ жє́ртвы, ꙗ҆́коже послꙋ́шати гла́са гдⷭ҇нѧ; сѐ, послꙋша́нїе па́че же́ртвы бла́ги, и҆ покоре́нїе па́че тꙋ́ка ѻ҆́внѧ:
22 Y Samuel dijo: ¿Tiene Jehová tanto contentamiento con los holocaustos y víctimas, como en obedecer á las palabras de Jehová? Ciertamente el obedecer es mejor que los sacrificios; y el prestar atención que el sebo de los carneros:
22 Samuel said, “Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying Yahweh’s voice? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
23 ꙗ҆́коже грѣ́хъ є҆́сть чарова́нїе, та́кѡ (грѣ́хъ є҆́сть) противле́нїе, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже грѣ́хъ є҆́сть і҆дѡлопоклоне́нїе, та́кѡ непокоре́нїе: поне́же ᲂу҆ничижи́лъ є҆сѝ гл҃го́лъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ ᲂу҆ничижи́тъ тѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь не бы́ти тебѣ̀ царе́мъ во і҆и҃ли.
23 Porque como pecado de adivinación es la rebelión, y como ídolos é idolatría el infringir. Por cuanto tú desechaste la palabra de Jehová, él también te ha desechado para que no seas rey.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected Yahweh’s word, he has also rejected you from being king.”
24 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ къ самꙋи́лꙋ: согрѣши́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ престꙋпи́хъ сло́во гдⷭ҇не и҆ глаго́лъ тво́й, ᲂу҆боѧ́хсѧ бо люді́й и҆ послꙋ́шахъ гла́са и҆́хъ:
24 Entonces Saúl dijo á Samuel: Yo he pecado; que he quebrantado el dicho de Jehová y tus palabras: porque temí al pueblo, consentí á la voz de ellos. Perdona pues ahora mi pecado,
24 Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
25 и҆ нн҃ѣ возмѝ грѣ́хъ мо́й и҆ возврати́сѧ со мно́ю, да поклоню́сѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀.
25 Y vuelve conmigo para que adore á Jehová.
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh.”
26 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ: не возвращꙋ́сѧ съ тобо́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆ничижи́лъ є҆сѝ гл҃го́лъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ ᲂу҆ничижи́тъ тѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь не бы́ти тебѣ̀ царе́мъ во і҆и҃ли.
26 Y Samuel respondió á Saúl: No volveré contigo; porque desechaste la palabra de Jehová, y Jehová te ha desechado para que no seas rey sobre Israel.
26 Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected Yahweh’s word, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
27 И҆ ѿвратѝ самꙋи́лъ лицѐ своѐ є҆́же ѿитѝ: и҆ ꙗ҆́тъ саꙋ́лъ за воскри́лїе ри́зы є҆гѡ̀ и҆ раздра̀ є҆̀.
27 Y volviéndose Samuel para irse, él echó mano de la orla de su capa, y desgarróse.
27 As Samuel turned around to go away, Saul grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ самꙋи́лъ: раздра̀ гдⷭ҇ь ца́рство і҆и҃лево ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ твоє́ю дне́сь, и҆ да́стъ є҆̀ бли́жнемꙋ твоемꙋ̀, лꙋ́чшемꙋ па́че тебє̀,
28 Entonces Samuel le dijo: Jehová ha desgarrado hoy de ti el reino de Israel, y lo ha dado á tu prójimo mejor que tú.
28 Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
29 и҆ раздѣли́тсѧ і҆и҃ль на дво́е: и҆ не ѡ҆брати́тсѧ, нижѐ раска́етсѧ ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ, зане́же не ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ є҆́сть, є҆́же раска́ѧтисѧ є҆мꙋ̀, запрети́тъ, и҆ не пребꙋ́детъ.
29 Y también el Vencedor de Israel no mentirá, ni se arrepentirá: porque no es hombre para que se arrepienta.
29 Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”
30 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ: согрѣши́хъ, но просла́ви мѧ̀ нн҃ѣ пред̾ старѣ̑йшины і҆и҃лєвы и҆ пред̾ людьмѝ мои́ми, и҆ возврати́сѧ со мно́ю, и҆ поклоню́сѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀.
30 Y él dijo: Yo he pecado: mas ruégote que me honres delante de los ancianos de mi pueblo, y delante de Israel; y vuelve conmigo para que adore á Jehová tu Dios.
30 Then he said, “I have sinned; yet please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
31 И҆ возврати́сѧ самꙋи́лъ в̾слѣ́дъ саꙋ́ла, и҆ поклони́сѧ саꙋ́лъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ.
31 Y volvió Samuel tras Saúl, y adoró Saúl á Jehová.
31 So Samuel went back with Saul; and Saul worshiped Yahweh.
32 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ: приведи́те мѝ а҆га́га царѧ̀ а҆мали́кова. И҆ прїи́де къ немꙋ̀ а҆га́гъ трепе́ща, и҆ речѐ а҆га́гъ: та́кѡ ли горька̀ сме́рть;
32 Después dijo Samuel: Traedme á Agag rey de Amalec. Y Agag vino á él delicadamente. Y dijo Agag: Ciertamente se pasó la amargura de la muerte.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of the Amalekites here to me!” Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
33 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ ко а҆га́гꙋ: ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆безча́дствова же́нъ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе твоѐ, та́кѡ ѡ҆безча́дитсѧ въ жена́хъ ма́ти твоѧ̀. И҆ закла̀ самꙋи́лъ а҆га́га пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ въ галга́лѣхъ.
33 Y Samuel dijo: Como tu espada dejó las mujeres sin hijos, así tu madre será sin hijo entre las mujeres. Entonces Samuel cortó en pedazos á Agag delante de Jehová en Gilgal.
33 Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women!” Then Samuel cut Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal.
34 И҆ ѿи́де самꙋи́лъ во а҆рмаѳе́мъ: и҆ саꙋ́лъ ѿи́де въ до́мъ сво́й въ гаваю̀.
34 Fuése luego Samuel á Rama, y Saúl subió á su casa en Gabaa de Saúl.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
35 И҆ не приложѝ самꙋи́лъ ктомꙋ̀ ви́дѣти саꙋ́ла да́же до днѐ сме́рти своеѧ̀, поне́же пла́каше самꙋи́лъ ѡ҆ саꙋ́лѣ, зане́же раска́ѧсѧ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ поста́ви саꙋ́ла царѧ̀ во і҆и҃ли.
35 Y nunca después vió Samuel á Saúl en toda su vida: y Samuel lloraba á Saúl: mas Jehová se había arrepentido de haber puesto á Saúl por rey sobre Israel.
35 Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death, but Samuel mourned for Saul. Yahweh grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
