And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to slay David.

ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Σαοὺλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυίδ.

И҆ глаго́ла саꙋ́лъ къ і҆ѡнаѳа́нꙋ сы́нꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ ко всѣ̑мъ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ, да ᲂу҆мертвѧ́тъ даві́да. І҆ѡнаѳа́нъ же сы́нъ саꙋ́ловъ любѧ́ше даві́да ѕѣлѡ̀.

2

And Jonathan, Saul’s son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill thee: take heed to thyself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide thyself, and dwell in secret.

καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν ὁ υἱὸς Σαοὺλ ᾑρεῖτο τὸν Δαυὶδ σφόδρα, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ᾿Ιωνάθαν τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγων· Σαοὺλ ζητεῖ θανατῶσαί σε· φύλαξαι οὖν αὔριον πρωΐ καὶ κρύβηθι καὶ κάθισον κρυφῇ,

И҆ возвѣстѝ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ даві́дꙋ, глаго́лѧ: ѻ҆те́цъ мо́й саꙋ́лъ и҆́щетъ тѧ̀ ᲂу҆би́ти: сохрани́сѧ ᲂу҆̀бо заꙋ́тра ра́нѡ, и҆ скры́йсѧ, и҆ сѧ́ди вта́йнѣ:

3

And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where thou shalt be, and I will speak concerning thee to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell thee.

καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ στήσομαι ἐχόμενος τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν ἀγρῷ, οὗ ἐὰν ᾖς ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐγὼ λαλήσω περὶ σοῦ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ὄψομαι ὅ,τι ἐὰν ᾖ, καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι.

и҆ а҆́зъ и҆зы́дꙋ, и҆ ста́нꙋ при ѻ҆тцѣ̀ мое́мъ на селѣ̀, и҆дѣ́же є҆сѝ ты̀: и҆ а҆́зъ возглаго́лю ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆зрю̀, что̀ бꙋ́детъ, и҆ возвѣщꙋ̀ тебѣ̀.

4

And Jonathan spoke favorably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against thy servant David, for he has not sinned against thee, and his deeds [are] very good.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν ᾿Ιωνάθαν περὶ Δαυὶδ ἀγαθὰ πρὸς Σαοὺλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· μὴ ἁμαρτησάτω ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸν δοῦλόν σου Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὐχ ἡμάρτηκεν εἰς σέ, καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὰ σφόδρα,

И҆ глаго́ла і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ ѡ҆ даві́дѣ блага̑ѧ къ саꙋ́лꙋ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀: да не согрѣша́етъ ца́рь на раба̀ своего̀ даві́да, ꙗ҆́кѡ не согрѣшѝ пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀ бла̑га сꙋ́ть ѕѣлѡ̀:

5

And he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoiced: why then dost thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

καὶ ἔθετο τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην, καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ εἶδον καὶ ἐχάρησαν· καὶ ἱνατί ἁμαρτάνεις εἰς αἷμα ἀθῷον θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυὶδ δωρεάν;

и҆ положѝ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ въ рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й и҆ побѣдѝ и҆ноплеме́нника, и҆ сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь спⷭ҇нїе вели́ко всемꙋ̀ і҆и҃лю, и҆ всѝ ви́дѣша и҆ возра́довашасѧ: и҆ почто̀ согрѣша́еши въ кро́вь непови́ннꙋ, є҆́же ᲂу҆би́ти даві́да тꙋ́не;

6

And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.

καὶ ἤκουσε Σαοὺλ τῆς φωνῆς ᾿Ιωνάθαν, καὶ ὤμοσε Σαοὺλ λέγων· ζῇ Κύριος, εἰ ἀποθανεῖται.

И҆ послꙋ́ша саꙋ́лъ гла́са і҆ѡнаѳа́нѧ: и҆ клѧ́тсѧ саꙋ́лъ, глаго́лѧ: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ᲂу҆́мретъ (даві́дъ).

7

And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸν Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαούλ, καὶ ἦν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν.

И҆ призва̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ даві́да и҆ возвѣстѝ є҆мꙋ̀ всѧ̑ глаго́лы сїѧ̑, и҆ введѐ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ даві́да къ саꙋ́лꙋ, и҆ бѣ̀ пред̾ ни́мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ вчера̀ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ.

8

And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and smote them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.

καὶ προσέθετο ὁ πόλεμος γενέσθαι πρὸς Σαούλ, καὶ κατίσχυσε Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπολέμησε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα, καὶ ἔφυγον ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.

И҆ приложи́сѧ бра́нь бы́ти на саꙋ́ла, и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ даві́дъ, и҆ побѣдѝ и҆ноплеме́нники, и҆ и҆збѝ ꙗ҆́звою вели́кою ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ бѣжа́ша ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀.

9

And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.

Καὶ ἐγένετο πνεῦμα Θεοῦ πονηρὸν ἐπὶ Σαούλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν οἴκῳ καθεύδων, καὶ δόρυ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἔψαλλε ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ·

И҆ бы́сть ѿ бг҃а дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый на саꙋ́лѣ, и҆ то́й въ домꙋ̀ свое́мъ сѣдѧ́ше, и҆ копїѐ въ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, даві́дъ же и҆гра́ше рꙋка́ми свои́ми:

10

And Saul sought to smite David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.

καὶ ἐζήτει Σαοὺλ πατάξαι τὸ δόρυ εἰς Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέστη Δαυὶδ ἐκ προσώπου Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ δόρυ εἰς τόν τοῖχον, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνεχώρησε καὶ διεσώθη.

и҆ и҆ска́ше саꙋ́лъ копїе́мъ порази́ти даві́да, и҆ ѿстꙋпѝ даві́дъ ѿ лица̀ саꙋ́лѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆да́ри саꙋ́лъ копїе́мъ въ стѣ́нꙋ: даві́дъ же ѿше́дъ спасе́сѧ въ но́щь тꙋ̀.

11

And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David’s wife told him, saying, Unless thou save thy life this night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους εἰς οἶκον Δαυὶδ φυλάξαι αὐτὸν τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτὸν πρωΐ· καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ Δαυὶδ Μελχὸλ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ λέγουσα· ἐὰν μὴ σὺ σώσῃς τὴν ψυχὴν σαυτοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην, αὔριον θανατωθήσῃ.

И҆ посла̀ саꙋ́лъ вѣ́стники въ до́мъ даві́довъ стрещѝ є҆го̀, є҆́же ᲂу҆би́ти є҆го̀ ра́нѡ. И҆ возвѣстѝ даві́дꙋ мелхо́ла жена̀ є҆гѡ̀, глаго́лющи: а҆́ще ты̀ не спасе́ши дꙋшѝ твоеѧ̀ въ но́щь сїю̀, заꙋ́тра ᲂу҆́мреши.

12

So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.

καὶ κατάγει ἡ Μελχὸλ τὸν Δαυὶδ διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, καὶ ἀπῆλθε καὶ ἔφυγε καὶ σώζεται.

И҆ свѣ́си мелхо́ла даві́да ѻ҆ко́нцемъ, и҆ ѿи́де, и҆ ᲂу҆бѣжа̀, и҆ спасе́сѧ:

13

And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.

καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ Μελχὸλ τὰ κενοτάφια καὶ ἔθετο ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν ἔθετο πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτὰ ἱματίῳ.

и҆ прїѧ́тъ мелхо́ла тщепогреба̑льнаѧ, и҆ положѝ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀, и҆ пе́чень {Є҆вр.: ко́жꙋ.} ко́зїю положѝ на возгла́вїи є҆гѡ̀, и҆ покры̀ ѧ҆̀ ри́зами.

14

And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.

καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λαβεῖν τὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ λέγουσιν ἐνοχλεῖσθαι αὐτόν·

И҆ посла̀ саꙋ́лъ вѣ́стники, да и҆́мꙋтъ даві́да, и҆ реко́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ бо́ленъ є҆́сть.

15

And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may slay him.

καὶ ἀποστέλλει ἐπὶ τὸν Δαυὶδ λέγων· ἀγάγετε αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης πρός με τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν.

И҆ посла̀ саꙋ́лъ, да ѡ҆глѧ́даютъ даві́да, глаго́лѧ: принеси́те є҆го̀ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ ко мнѣ̀, є҆́же ᲂу҆мертви́ти є҆го̀.

16

And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat’s liver at his head.

καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἄγγελοι, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὰ κενοτάφια ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης, καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ.

И҆ прїидо́ша слꙋги̑, и҆ сѐ, тщепогреба̑льнаѧ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ и҆ ко́зїѧ пе́чень при возгла́вїи є҆гѡ̀.

17

And Saul said to Melchol, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will slay thee.

καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ τῇ Μελχόλ· ἱνατί οὕτως παρελογίσω με καὶ ἐξαπέστειλας τὸν ἐχθρόν μου καὶ διεσώθη; καὶ εἶπε Μελχὸλ τῷ Σαούλ· αὐτὸς εἶπεν· ἐξαπόστειλόν με, εἰ δὲ μή, θανατώσω σε.

И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ къ мелхо́лѣ: почто̀ та́кѡ ѡ҆бманꙋ́ла мѧ̀ є҆сѝ, и҆ ѿпꙋсти́ла є҆сѝ врага̀ моего̀, и҆ гонзѐ менѐ; И҆ речѐ мелхо́ла саꙋ́лꙋ: са́мъ мѝ речѐ: ѿпꙋсти́ мѧ: а҆́ще же нѝ, погꙋблю́ тѧ.

18

So David fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and dwelt in Navath in Rama.

Καὶ Δαυὶδ ἔφυγε καὶ διεσώθη καὶ παραγίνεται πρὸς Σαμουὴλ εἰς ᾿Αρμαθαὶμ καὶ ἀπαγγέλλει αὐτῷ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ Σαούλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη Σαμουὴλ καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμά.

И҆ даві́дъ ᲂу҆бѣжа̀ и҆ спасе́сѧ, и҆ и҆́де къ самꙋи́лꙋ во а҆рмаѳе́мъ и҆ повѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ є҆мꙋ̀ саꙋ́лъ. И҆ и҆до́ста даві́дъ и҆ самꙋи́лъ и҆ сѣдо́ста въ наѵа́ѳѣ въ ра́мѣ.

19

And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.

καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμά.

И҆ возвѣсти́ша саꙋ́лꙋ, глаго́люще: сѐ, даві́дъ въ наѵа́ѳѣ въ ра́мѣ.

20

And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.

καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λαβεῖν τὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ εἶδαν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ Σαμουὴλ εἱστήκει καθεστηκὼς ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ Σαοὺλ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ, καὶ προφητεύουσι.

И҆ посла̀ слꙋги̑ саꙋ́лъ ꙗ҆́ти даві́да, и҆ ви́дѣша собо́ръ прⷪ҇ро́кѡвъ, и҆ самꙋи́лъ стоѧ́ше настоѧ́тель над̾ ни́ми: и҆ бы́сть дх҃ъ бж҃їй на слꙋга́хъ саꙋ́лихъ, и҆ нача́ша прорица́ти.

21

And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.

καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαούλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους ἑτέρους, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ αὐτοί. καὶ προσέθετο Σαοὺλ ἀποστεῖλαι ἀγγέλους τρίτους, καί ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ αὐτοί.

И҆ возвѣсти́ша саꙋ́лꙋ, и҆ посла̀ дрꙋгі̑ѧ слꙋги̑, и҆ прорица́ти нача́ша и҆ ті́и. И҆ приложѝ саꙋ́лъ посла́ти слꙋги̑ трє́тїѧ, и҆ нача́ша и҆ ті́и прорица́ти.

22

And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.

καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς ᾿Αρμαθαὶμ καὶ ἔρχεται ἕως τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ἅλω τοῦ ἐν τῷ Σεφὶ καὶ ἠρώτησε καὶ εἶπε· ποῦ Σαμουὴλ καὶ Δαυίδ; καὶ εἶπαν· ἰδοὺ ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμά.

И҆ разгнѣ́васѧ гнѣ́вомъ саꙋ́лъ, и҆ и҆́де и҆ са́мъ во а҆рмаѳе́мъ, и҆ прїи́де да́же до кла́дѧзѧ гꙋмна̀, є҆́же є҆́сть въ се́фѣ, и҆ вопросѝ и҆ речѐ: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть самꙋи́лъ и҆ даві́дъ; И҆ рѣ́ша: сѐ, въ наѵа́ѳѣ въ ра́мѣ.

23

And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμά, καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύετο προφητεύων ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμά.

И҆ и҆́де ѿтꙋ́дꙋ въ наѵа́ѳъ (и҆́же) въ ра́мѣ: и҆ бы́сть и҆ на не́мъ дх҃ъ бж҃їй, и҆ и҆дѧ́ше и҆ды́й и҆ прорица́ѧ, до́ндеже прїитѝ є҆мꙋ̀ въ наѵа́ѳъ и҆́же въ ра́мѣ.

24

And he took off his clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?

καὶ ἐξεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ ἔπεσε γυμνὸς ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα· διὰ τοῦτο ἔλεγον· εἰ καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐν προφήταις;

И҆ совлечѐ ри̑зы своѧ̑ и҆ прорица́ше пред̾ ни́ми: и҆ падѐ на́гъ ве́сь де́нь то́й и҆ всю̀ но́щь. Тогѡ̀ ра́ди глаго́лахꙋ: є҆да̀ и҆ саꙋ́лъ во проро́цѣхъ;
