1 И сказал Самуил всему Израилю: вот, я послушался голоса вашего во всем, что вы говорили мне, и поставил над вами царя,
1 Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
2 и вот, царь ходит пред вами; а я состарился и поседел; и сыновья мои с вами; я же ходил пред вами от юности моей и до сего дня;
2 Now, behold, the king walks before you. I am old and gray-headed. Behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth to this day.
3 вот я; свидетельствуйте на меня пред Господом и пред помазанником Его, у кого взял я вола, у кого взял осла, кого обидел и кого притеснил, у кого взял дар и закрыл в деле его глаза мои, — и я возвращу вам.
3 Here I am. Witness against me before Yahweh and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Of whose hand have I taken a bribe to make me blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”
4 И отвечали: ты не обижал нас и не притеснял нас и ничего ни у кого не взял.
4 They said, “You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything from anyone’s hand.”
5 И сказал он им: свидетель на вас Господь, и свидетель помазанник Его в сей день, что вы не нашли ничего за мною. И сказали: свидетель.
5 He said to them, “Yahweh is witness against you, and his anointed is witness today, that you have not found anything in my hand.” They said, “He is witness.”
6 Тогда Самуил сказал народу: [свидетель] Господь, Который поставил Моисея и Аарона и Который вывел отцов ваших из земли Египетской.
6 Samuel said to the people, “It is Yahweh who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
7 Теперь же предстаньте, и я буду судиться с вами пред Господом о всех благодеяниях, которые оказал Он вам и отцам вашим.
7 Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before Yahweh concerning all the righteous acts of Yahweh, which he did to you and to your fathers.
8 Когда пришел Иаков в Египет, и отцы ваши возопили к Господу, то Господь послал Моисея и Аарона, и они вывели отцов ваших из Египта и поселили их на месте сем.
8 “When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Yahweh, then Yahweh sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.
9 Но они забыли Господа Бога своего, и Он предал их в руки Сисары, военачальника Асорского, и в руки Филистимлян и в руки царя Моавитского, которые воевали против них.
9 But they forgot Yahweh their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.
10 Но когда они возопили к Господу и сказали: "согрешили мы, ибо оставили Господа и стали служить Ваалам и Астартам, теперь избавь нас от руки врагов наших, и мы будем служить Тебе",
10 They cried to Yahweh, and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken Yahweh and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth; but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.’
11 тогда Господь послал Иероваала, и Варака, и Иеффая, и Самуила, и избавил вас от руки врагов ваших, окружавших вас, и вы жили безопасно.
11 Yahweh sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.
12 Но увидев, что Наас, царь Аммонитский, идет против вас, вы сказали мне: "нет, царь пусть царствует над нами", тогда как Господь Бог ваш — Царь ваш.
12 “When you saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when Yahweh your God was your king.
13 Итак, вот царь, которого вы избрали, которого вы требовали: вот, Господь поставил над вами царя.
13 Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen and whom you have asked for. Behold, Yahweh has set a king over you.
14 Если будете бояться Господа и служить Ему и слушать гласа Его, и не станете противиться повелениям Господа, и будете и вы и царь ваш, который царствует над вами, ходить вслед Господа, Бога вашего, [то рука Господа не будет против вас];
14 If you will fear Yahweh, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Yahweh, then both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of Yahweh your God.
15 а если не будете слушать гласа Господа и станете противиться повелениям Господа, то рука Господа будет против вас, как была против отцов ваших.
15 But if you will not listen to Yahweh’s voice, but rebel against the commandment of Yahweh, then Yahweh’s hand will be against you, as it was against your fathers.
16 Теперь станьте и посмотрите на дело великое, которое Господь совершит пред глазами вашими:
16 “Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Yahweh will do before your eyes.
17 не жатва ли пшеницы ныне? Но я воззову к Господу, и пошлет Он гром и дождь, и вы узнаете и увидите, как велик грех, который вы сделали пред очами Господа, прося себе царя.
17 Isn’t it wheat harvest today? I will call to Yahweh, that he may send thunder and rain; and you will know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in Yahweh’s sight, in asking for a king.”
18 И воззвал Самуил к Господу, и Господь послал гром и дождь в тот день; и пришел весь народ в большой страх от Господа и Самуила.
18 So Samuel called to Yahweh, and Yahweh sent thunder and rain that day. Then all the people greatly feared Yahweh and Samuel.
19 И сказал весь народ Самуилу: помолись о рабах твоих пред Господом Богом твоим, чтобы не умереть нам; ибо ко всем грехам нашим мы прибавили еще грех, когда просили себе царя.
19 All the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king.”
20 И отвечал Самуил народу: не бойтесь, грех этот вами сделан, но вы не отступайте только от Господа и служите Господу всем сердцем вашим
20 Samuel said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet don’t turn away from following Yahweh, but serve Yahweh with all your heart.
21 и не обращайтесь вслед ничтожных богов, которые не принесут пользы и не избавят; ибо они — ничто;
21 Don’t turn away to go after vain things which can’t profit or deliver, for they are vain.
22 Господь же не оставит народа Своего ради великого имени Своего, ибо Господу угодно было избрать вас народом Своим;
22 For Yahweh will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased Yahweh to make you a people for himself.
23 и я также не допущу себе греха пред Господом, чтобы перестать молиться за вас, и буду наставлять вас на путь добрый и прямой;
23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.
24 только бойтесь Господа и служите Ему истинно, от всего сердца вашего, ибо вы видели, какие великие дела Он сделал с вами;
24 Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.
25 если же вы будете делать зло, то и вы и царь ваш погибнете.
25 But if you keep doing evil, you will be consumed, both you and your king.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
or if I have received from the hand of any a bribe or [so much as] a shoe, speak out against me, and I will restore it to you." And when the people had said to him, "Thou hast not tyrannized, neither hast thou oppressed us neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand," he called the Lord to …
