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 прїидо́ша зїфе́є ѿ зно́йныѧ къ саꙋ́лꙋ на хо́лмъ, глаго́люще: сѐ, даві́дъ скры́сѧ ᲂу҆ на́съ на холмѣ̀ є҆хела́ѳъ, прѧ́мѡ і҆ессемо́нꙋ.
1 The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”
2 И҆ воста̀ саꙋ́лъ, и҆ сни́де въ пꙋсты́ню зі́фъ, и҆ съ ни́мъ трѝ ты́сѧщы мꙋже́й и҆збра́нныхъ ѿ і҆и҃лѧ, и҆ска́ти даві́да въ пꙋсты́ни зі́фъ.
2 Then Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 И҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ саꙋ́лъ на холмѣ̀ є҆хела́ѳъ и҆́же прѧ́мѡ і҆ессемо́нꙋ при пꙋтѝ, даві́дъ же сѣдѧ́ше въ пꙋсты́ни. И҆ ви́дѣ даві́дъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́детъ саꙋ́лъ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ въ пꙋсты́ню,
3 Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 и҆ посла̀ даві́дъ соглѧда̑таи, и҆ разꙋмѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́детъ саꙋ́лъ гото́въ и҆з̾ кеі́лѧ:
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
5 и҆ воста̀ даві́дъ ѡ҆́тай, и҆ вни́де въ мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же почива́ше саꙋ́лъ, и҆ та́мѡ бѧ́ше а҆вени́ръ сы́нъ ни́ровъ, пе́рвый воево́да є҆гѡ̀, и҆ саꙋ́лъ спа́ше въ колесни́цѣ ца́рстѣй, и҆ лю́дїе ѡ҆полчи́вшесѧ ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀.
5 Then David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around him.
6 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ даві́дъ и҆ речѐ ко а҆вїмеле́хꙋ хетте́инꙋ и҆ ко а҆ве́ссѣ сы́нꙋ сарꙋ́инꙋ бра́тꙋ і҆ѡа́влю, глаго́лѧ: кто̀ вни́детъ со мно́ю къ саꙋ́лꙋ въ по́лкъ; И҆ речѐ а҆ве́сса: а҆́зъ вни́дꙋ съ тобо́ю.
6 Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?” Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”
7 И҆ внидо́ста даві́дъ и҆ а҆ве́сса въ лю́ди но́щїю: и҆ сѐ, саꙋ́лъ спѧ́й сно́мъ въ колесни́цѣ ца́рстѣй, и҆ копїѐ є҆гѡ̀ водрꙋже́но въ зе́млю при главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, а҆вени́ръ же и҆ во́ини є҆гѡ̀ спа́хꙋ ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.
8 И҆ речѐ а҆ве́сса къ даві́дꙋ: заключѝ гдⷭ҇ь дне́сь врага̀ твоего̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ, и҆ нн҃ѣ поражꙋ̀ є҆го̀ копїе́мъ въ зе́млю є҆ди́ножды, и҆ не повторю̀ є҆мꙋ̀.
8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.”
9 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко а҆ве́ссѣ: не ᲂу҆бива́й є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ кто̀ простре́тъ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ на хрїста̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ непови́ненъ бꙋ́детъ;
9 David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against Yahweh’s anointed, and be guiltless?”
10 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь, а҆́ще не гдⷭ҇ь порази́тъ є҆го̀, и҆лѝ де́нь є҆гѡ̀ прїи́детъ, и҆ ᲂу҆́мретъ, и҆лѝ на бра́нь сни́детъ и҆ поги́бнетъ:
10 David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will strike him; or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down into battle and perish.
11 да не бꙋ́детъ мѝ ѿ гдⷭ҇а нанестѝ рꙋ́кꙋ мою̀ на хрїста̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ: и҆ нн҃ѣ возмѝ копїѐ ѿ возгла́вїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ сосꙋ́дъ водны́й, и҆ ѿи́демъ мы̀ ѡ҆ себѣ̀.
11 Yahweh forbid that I should stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let’s go.”
12 И҆ взѧ̀ даві́дъ копїѐ и҆ сосꙋ́дъ водны́й ѿ возгла́вїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѿидо́ста ѡ҆ себѣ̀: и҆ не бѣ̀ и҆́же бы ви́дѣлъ и҆лѝ разꙋмѣ́лъ, и҆ не бѧ́ше востаю́щагѡ, вси́ бо спа́хꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ со́нъ крѣ́покъ ѿ гдⷭ҇а нападѐ на нѧ̀.
12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head, and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh had fallen on them.
13 И҆ пре́йде даві́дъ на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ и҆ ста̀ на версѣ̀ горы̀ и҆здале́ча, и҆ мно́гъ бѣ̀ пꙋ́ть междꙋ̀ и҆́ми.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain far away, a great space being between them;
14 И҆ воззва̀ даві́дъ къ лю́демъ, и҆ а҆вени́рꙋ речѐ глаго́лѧ: не ѿвѣща́еши ли, а҆вени́ре; И҆ ѿвѣща̀ а҆вени́ръ и҆ речѐ: кто̀ ты̀ є҆сѝ зовы́й мѧ̀;
14 and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Don’t you answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?”
15 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко а҆вени́рꙋ: не мꙋ́жъ ли є҆сѝ ты̀; и҆ кто̀, ꙗ҆́коже ты̀, во і҆и҃ли; и҆ почто̀ не храни́ши господи́на твоегѡ̀ царѧ̀; ꙗ҆́кѡ вни́де є҆ди́нъ ѿ люді́й ᲂу҆би́ти господи́на твоего̀ царѧ̀:
15 David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.
16 и҆ не бла́го сїѐ (ѕѣлѡ̀), є҆́же сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ сы́нове сме́рти вы̀, не хранѧ́щїи го́спода своего̀ царѧ̀ хрїста̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ: и҆ нн҃ѣ ви́ждь, гдѣ̀ є҆́сть копїѐ царе́во и҆ сосꙋ́дъ водны́й, ꙗ҆̀же бѣ́ша при главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀;
16 This thing isn’t good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.”
17 И҆ позна̀ саꙋ́лъ гла́съ даві́довъ и҆ речѐ: тво́й ли гла́съ се́й, ча́до даві́де; И҆ речѐ даві́дъ: а҆́зъ ра́бъ тво́й, го́споди царю̀.
17 Saul recognized David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”
18 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ: почто̀ го́ниши раба̀ твоего̀, го́споди царю̀; ꙗ҆́кѡ что̀ (тѝ) согрѣши́хъ; и҆ ка́ѧ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ во мнѣ̀ непра́вда;
18 He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? What evil is in my hand?
19 и҆ нн҃ѣ да послꙋ́шаетъ госпо́дь мо́й ца́рь глаго́лѡвъ раба̀ своегѡ̀: а҆́ще бг҃ъ поѡщрѧ́етъ тѧ̀ на мѧ̀, да бꙋ́детъ благово́нна же́ртва твоѧ̀: а҆́ще же сы́нове человѣ́честїи, про́клѧти сі́и пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆згна́ша мѧ̀ дне́сь не ᲂу҆тверди́тисѧ въ жре́бїи гдⷭ҇ни, глаго́люще: пойдѝ, рабо́тай богѡ́мъ чꙋжди̑мъ:
19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before Yahweh; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to Yahweh’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’
20 и҆ нн҃ѣ да не паде́тъ кро́вь моѧ̀ на зе́млю пред̾ лице́мъ гдⷭ҇нимъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зы́де ца́рь і҆и҃левъ и҆ска́ти дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀, и҆ го́нитъ ꙗ҆́коже нощны́й вра́нъ по гора́мъ.
20 Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
21 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ: согрѣши́хъ: возврати́сѧ, ча́до даві́де, ꙗ҆́кѡ ктомꙋ̀ не сотворю́ ти ѕла̀, занѐ честна̀ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма въ де́нь се́й: безꙋ́мнѡ сотвори́хъ, и҆ погрѣши́хъ мно́гѡ ѕѣлѡ̀.
21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes today. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.”
22 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ даві́дъ и҆ речѐ: сѐ, копїѐ царе́во, да прїи́детъ ѻ҆́трокъ є҆ди́нъ и҆ во́зметъ є҆̀:
22 David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get it.
23 и҆ гдⷭ҇ь да возврати́тъ коемꙋ́ждо по пра́вдѣ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ по вѣ́рѣ є҆гѡ̀: ꙗ҆́коже предаде́ тѧ гдⷭ҇ь дне́сь въ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ, и҆ не восхотѣ́хъ нанестѝ рꙋкѝ моеѧ̀ на хрїста̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ:
23 Yahweh will give to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn’t stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed.
24 и҆ сѐ, ꙗ҆́коже возвели́чисѧ дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀ дне́сь во ѻ҆́чїю моє́ю, та́кѡ да возвели́читсѧ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ да покры́етъ мѧ̀ и҆ и҆́зметъ мѧ̀ ѿ всѧ́кїѧ печа́ли.
24 Behold, as your life was respected today in my eyes, so let my life be respected in Yahweh’s eyes, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”
25 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ къ даві́дꙋ: благослове́нъ ты̀, ча́до, и҆ творѧ́й сотвори́ши и҆ могі́й возмо́жеши. И҆ ѿи́де даві́дъ въ пꙋ́ть сво́й, а҆ саꙋ́лъ возврати́сѧ на мѣ́сто своѐ.
25 Then Saul said to David, “You are blessed, my son David. You will both do mightily, and will surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
