1 И҆ ѿбѣжѐ даві́дъ ѿ наѵа́ѳа (и҆́же) въ ра́мѣ и҆ прїи́де ко і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ и҆ речѐ: что̀ сотвори́хъ; и҆ что̀ непра́вда моѧ̀; и҆ что̀ согрѣши́хъ пред̾ ѻ҆тце́мъ твои́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́щетъ дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀;
1 David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”
2 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ: ника́коже, ты̀ не ᲂу҆́мреши: сѐ, не и҆́мать сотвори́ти ѻ҆те́цъ мо́й глаго́ла вели́ка, и҆лѝ ма́ла, и҆ не ѿкры́етъ ᲂу҆́ха моегѡ̀: и҆ что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ скры́етъ ѻ҆те́цъ мо́й глаго́лъ се́й ѿ менє̀; не бꙋ́ди сїѐ.
2 He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.”
3 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ даві́дъ і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ и҆ речѐ: вѣ́даѧ вѣ́даетъ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, и҆ глаго́летъ: да не позна́етъ сегѡ̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ, не́гли не восхо́щетъ: но жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ жива̀ дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀, занѐ ꙗ҆́коже реко́хъ, и҆спо́лнисѧ междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ ѻ҆тце́мъ твои́мъ да́же до сме́рти.
3 David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
4 И҆ речѐ па́ки і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ къ даві́дꙋ: чесогѡ̀ жела́етъ дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀, и҆ что̀ сотворю̀ тебѣ̀;
4 Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”
5 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ: сѐ, новомⷭ҇чїе заꙋ́тра, и҆ а҆́зъ сѣдѧ̀ не сѧ́дꙋ съ царе́мъ ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ по́слеши мѧ̀, и҆ скры́юсѧ на по́ли до ве́чера днѐ тре́тїѧгѡ:
5 David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
6 и҆ а҆́ще смотрѧ̀ ᲂу҆смо́тритъ мѧ̀ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й, и҆ рече́ши: просѧ̀ ᲂу҆проси́сѧ ѿ менє̀ даві́дъ ѿитѝ до виѳлее́ма гра́да своегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ же́ртва дні́й та́мѡ всемꙋ̀ пле́мени:
6 If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’
7 а҆́ще та́кѡ рече́тъ: бла́го: ми́ръ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀: а҆́ще же же́стокѡ ѿвѣща́етъ тебѣ̀, разꙋмѣ́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ соверши́сѧ ѕло́ба ѿ негѡ̀:
7 If he says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
8 и҆ да сотвори́ши ми́лость съ рабо́мъ твои́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вве́лъ є҆сѝ въ завѣ́тъ гдⷭ҇ень раба̀ твоего̀ съ собо́ю: и҆ а҆́ще є҆́сть непра́вда въ рабѣ̀ твое́мъ, ᲂу҆мертви́ мѧ ты̀, а҆ ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀ почто̀ та́кѡ и҆́маши мѧ̀ вводи́ти;
8 Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?”
9 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ: ника́коже (бꙋ́ди) тебѣ̀: є҆гда̀ а҆́ще разꙋмѣва́ѧ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ соверши́сѧ ѕло́ба ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀, є҆́же прїитѝ на тебѐ, а҆́ще и҆ не бꙋ́деши во градѣ́хъ твои́хъ, а҆́зъ возвѣщꙋ̀ тебѣ̀.
9 Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”
10 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ: кто̀ возвѣсти́тъ мѝ, а҆́ще ѿвѣща́етъ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й же́стокѡ;
10 Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?”
11 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ къ даві́дꙋ: и҆дѝ, и҆ пребꙋ́ди на по́ли. И҆ и҆до́ста ѻ҆́ба на по́ле.
11 Jonathan said to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both went out into the field.
12 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ къ даві́дꙋ: гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆скꙋшꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ моего̀ во вре́мѧ (сїѐ) заꙋ́тра, и҆лѝ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ, и҆ сїѐ, а҆́ще бла́го бꙋ́детъ ѡ҆ даві́дѣ, и҆ не и҆́мамъ посла́ти къ тебѣ̀ на по́ле и҆ возвѣсти́ти сїѧ̑ во ᲂу҆́шы твоѝ:
12 Jonathan said to David, “By Yahweh, the God of Israel, when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, won’t I then send to you and disclose it to you?
13 сїѧ̑ да сотвори́тъ бг҃ъ і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ и҆ сїѧ̑ да приложи́тъ, а҆́ще не возвѣщꙋ̀ ѕла̑ѧ на тѧ̀, и҆ ѿкры́ю ᲂу҆́хо твоѐ, и҆ ѿпꙋщꙋ̀ тѧ̀, и҆ ѿи́деши въ ми́рѣ: и҆ бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ь съ тобо́ю, ꙗ҆́коже бѣ̀ со ѻ҆тце́мъ мои́мъ:
13 Yahweh do so to Jonathan and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you and send you away, that you may go in peace. May Yahweh be with you as he has been with my father.
14 и҆ а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆щѐ жи́въ бꙋ́дꙋ а҆́зъ, да сотвори́ши ми́лость со мно́ю:
14 You shall not only show me the loving kindness of Yahweh while I still live, that I not die;
15 и҆ а҆́ще сме́ртїю ᲂу҆мрꙋ̀, да не ѿи́меши ми́лости твоеѧ̀ ѿ до́мꙋ моегѡ̀ до вѣ́ка:
15 but you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when Yahweh has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the surface of the earth.”
16 а҆́ще же нѝ, є҆гда̀ и҆скорени́тъ гдⷭ҇ь врагѝ даві́дѡвы, коего́ждо ѿ лица̀ землѝ, да ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ и҆́мѧ і҆ѡнаѳа́не въ домꙋ̀ даві́довѣ, и҆ и҆зы́щетъ гдⷭ҇ь врагѝ даві́дѡвы.
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with David’s house, saying, “Yahweh will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”
17 И҆ приложѝ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ є҆щѐ клѧ́тисѧ даві́дꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возлюбѝ дꙋ́шꙋ лю́бѧщагѡ є҆го̀.
17 Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ къ немꙋ̀: заꙋ́тра новомⷭ҇чїе, и҆ присмо́тренъ бꙋ́деши, ꙗ҆́кѡ пра́здно ᲂу҆смо́трено бꙋ́детъ мѣ́сто твоѐ:
18 Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
19 ты́ же преме́длиши трѝ дни̑ и҆ пребꙋ́деши на мѣ́стѣ твое́мъ, и҆дѣ́же скры́ешисѧ въ де́нь дѣ́ланїѧ, и҆ сѧ́деши при є҆рга́вѣ ѻ҆́нѣмъ:
19 When you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and remain by the stone Ezel.
20 и҆ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆тро́ю стрѣла́ми стрѣлѧ́ѧ, и҆ стрѣлю̀ верга́ѧ до а҆магга́рїа:
20 I will shoot three arrows on its side, as though I shot at a mark.
21 и҆ сѐ, послю̀ ѻ҆́трока, глаго́лѧ: и҆дѝ и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щи мѝ стрѣлꙋ̀: и҆ а҆́ще рекꙋ̀ ѻ҆́трокꙋ: здѣ̀ стрѣла̀ ѿ тебє̀, и҆ здѣ̀, возмѝ ю҆̀: и҆ ты̀ грѧдѝ ко мнѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ми́ръ тебѣ̀, и҆ нѣ́сть ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ сло́ва, жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь:
21 Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come, for there is peace to you and no danger, as Yahweh lives.
22 а҆́ще же та́кѡ рекꙋ̀ ю҆́ноши: та́мѡ стрѣла̀ ѿ тебє̀ и҆ да́лѣе: и҆дѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿсла́ тѧ гдⷭ҇ь:
22 But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go your way, for Yahweh has sent you away.
23 и҆ глаго́лъ є҆го́же а҆́зъ и҆ ты̀ глаго́лахомъ, сѐ, гдⷭ҇ь свидѣ́тель междꙋ̀ тобо́ю и҆ мно́ю до вѣ́ка.
23 Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”
24 И҆ скры́сѧ даві́дъ на по́ли, и҆ прїи́де новомⷭ҇чїе, и҆ прїи́де ца́рь на трапе́зꙋ ꙗ҆́сти,
24 So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself down to eat food.
25 и҆ сѣ́де ца́рь на мѣ́стѣ свое́мъ ꙗ҆́коже и҆ всегда̀ на престо́лѣ при стѣнѣ̀, и҆ предварѝ і҆ѡнаѳа́на, и҆ сѣ́де а҆вени́ръ ѿ страны̀ саꙋ́ловы, и҆ ᲂу҆смо́трено бы́сть (пра́здно) мѣ́сто даві́дово.
25 The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.
26 И҆ не глаго́ла саꙋ́лъ ничто́же въ то́й де́нь, помы́сли бо, слꙋ́чай ви́дитсѧ, нечи́стꙋ бы́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆чи́стисѧ.
26 Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”
27 И҆ бы́сть наꙋ́трїе мцⷭ҇а въ де́нь вторы́й, и҆ ᲂу҆смо́трено бы́сть пра́здно мѣ́сто даві́дово, и҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ ко і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ не прїи́де сы́нъ і҆ессе́евъ ни вчера̀, ни дне́сь на трапе́зꙋ;
27 On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why didn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”
28 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ᲂу҆проси́сѧ ѿ менє̀ даві́дъ до виѳлее́ма гра́да своегѡ̀ и҆тѝ,
28 Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.
29 и҆ речѐ: ѿпꙋсти́ мѧ нн҃ѣ (въ виѳлее́мъ), ꙗ҆́кѡ же́ртва колѣ́на на́шегѡ во гра́дѣ, и҆ заповѣ́даша мнѣ̀ бра́тїѧ моѧ̑: и҆ нн҃ѣ а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣто́хъ благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, да пойдꙋ̀ нн҃ѣ и҆ ᲂу҆зрю̀ бра́тїю мою̀: сегѡ̀ ра́ди не прїи́де на трапе́зꙋ царе́вꙋ.
29 He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”
30 И҆ разгнѣ́васѧ гнѣ́вомъ саꙋ́лъ на і҆ѡнаѳа́на ѕѣлѡ̀ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сы́не дѣ́вѡкъ блꙋдни́цъ, не вѣ́мъ ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ соѻ́бщникъ є҆сѝ ты̀ сы́нꙋ і҆ессе́евꙋ въ срамотꙋ̀ твою̀ и҆ въ срамотꙋ̀ ѿкрове́нїѧ ма́тере твоеѧ̀;
30 Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?
31 ꙗ҆́кѡ во всѧ̑ дни̑, въ нѧ́же сы́нъ і҆ессе́евъ жи́ти и҆́мать на землѝ, не ᲂу҆гото́витсѧ ца́рство твоѐ: нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо посла́въ, поимѝ ю҆́ношꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сы́нъ сме́рти є҆́сть се́й.
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”
32 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ саꙋ́лꙋ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ: за что̀ ᲂу҆мира́етъ; что̀ сотворѝ;
32 Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”
33 И҆ ве́рже саꙋ́лъ копїе́мъ на і҆ѡнаѳа́на, є҆́же ᲂу҆мертви́ти є҆го̀. И҆ позна̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ соверши́сѧ ѕло́ба сїѧ̀ ѿ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀, да ᲂу҆мертви́тъ даві́да:
33 Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.
34 и҆ вскочѝ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ ѿ трапе́зы во гнѣ́вѣ ꙗ҆́рости, и҆ не ꙗ҆дѐ хлѣ́ба въ де́нь вторы́й мцⷭ҇а, ꙗ҆́кѡ сокрꙋши́сѧ ѡ҆ даві́дѣ, занѐ совершѝ (ѕло́бꙋ) на него̀ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
35 И҆ бы́сть заꙋ́тра, и҆ и҆зы́де і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ на село̀, ꙗ҆́коже совѣща́сѧ ѡ҆ свидѣ́нїи съ даві́домъ, и҆ ѻ҆́трокъ ма́лъ съ ни́мъ.
35 In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.
36 И҆ речѐ ѻ҆́трокꙋ: тецы̀, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щи мѝ стрѣ́лы, и҆́миже а҆́зъ стрѣлѧ́ю. И҆ ѻ҆́трокъ течѐ, и҆ ѻ҆́нъ стрѣлѝ стрѣло́ю за него̀.
36 He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 И҆ прїи́де ѻ҆́трокъ до мѣ́ста стрѣлы̀, и҆дѣ́же стрѣли́лъ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ. И҆ возопѝ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ в̾слѣ́дъ ѻ҆́трока и҆ речѐ: та́мѡ стрѣла̀ ѿ тебє̀ и҆ да́лѣе.
37 When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
38 И҆ па́ки возопѝ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ в̾слѣ́дъ ѻ҆́трока своегѡ̀, глаго́лѧ: потщи́сѧ ско́рѡ, и҆ не сто́й. И҆ собра̀ ѻ҆́трокъ і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ стрѣ́лы и҆ принесѐ и҆̀хъ къ господи́нꙋ своемꙋ̀.
38 Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 Ѻ҆́трокъ же не ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣ ничесѡ́же, то́кмѡ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ и҆ даві́дъ вѣ́дѣста ве́щь.
39 But the boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 И҆ ѿда̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе своѐ ѻ҆́трокꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ ѻ҆́трокꙋ своемꙋ̀: поидѝ и҆ ѿнесѝ во гра́дъ.
40 Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.”
41 И҆ є҆гда̀ ѿи́де ѻ҆́трокъ, и҆ даві́дъ воста̀ ѿ є҆рга́ва, и҆ падѐ на лицѐ своѐ, и҆ поклони́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ три́жды, и҆ ѡ҆блобыза̀ кі́йждо дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га, и҆ пла́касѧ кі́йждо ѡ҆ дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́зѣ до сконча́нїѧ вели́ка.
41 As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another and wept with one another, and David wept the most.
42 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ даві́дꙋ: и҆дѝ съ ми́ромъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже клѧ́хомсѧ мы̀ ѻ҆́ба и҆́менемъ гдⷭ҇нимъ, глаго́люще: гдⷭ҇ь да бꙋ́детъ свидѣ́тель междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ сѣ́менемъ мои́мъ и҆ междꙋ̀ сѣ́менемъ твои́мъ до вѣ́ка.
42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘Yahweh is between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
43 И҆ воста̀ даві́дъ и҆ ѿи́де. І҆ѡнаѳа́нъ же вни́де во гра́дъ.
