1 Samuel 12
King James Version
12 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
2 And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
3 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
5 And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
6 And Samuel said unto the people, It is the Lord that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
7 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord of all the righteous acts of the Lord, which he did to you and to your fathers.
8 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
9 And when they forgat the Lord their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
10 And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the Lord your God was your king.
13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the Lord hath set a king over you.
14 If ye will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the Lord your God:
15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers.
16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
17 Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking you a king.
18 So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart;
21 And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
22 For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
24 Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
Първa Царства 12
Библия, синодално издание
12 (A)И Самуил рече на целия Израил: ето аз послушах вашия глас във всичко що ми говорихте, и поставих ви цар,
2 (B)и ето, царят върви пред вас; а аз остарях и побелях; и синовете ми са с вас. Аз пък вървях пред вас от младини доднес;
3 (C)ето ме: свидетелствувайте против мене пред Господа и пред Неговия помазаник, кому съм взел вола, кому съм взел осела, кого съм обидил и кого съм притеснил, от кого съм взел дар и затворил очи спрямо делото му, – и аз ще ви го върна.
4 И отговориха: ти не си ни обиждал, нито си ни притеснявал и от никого нищо не си взел.
5 И той им рече: свидетел против вас е Господ, свидетел е и помазаникът Му в тоя ден, че не намерихте нищо против мене. И те отговориха: свидетел е.
6 Тогава Самуил рече на народа: свидетел е Господ, Който постави Моисея и Аарона и Който изведе вашите отци из Египетската земя.
7 А сега застанете, и аз ще се съдя с вас пред Господа за всички благодеяния, които Той направи вам и на отците ви.
8 (D)Когато Иаков дойде в Египет, и бащите ви завикаха към Господа, Господ прати Моисея и Аарона, и те изведоха бащите ви из Египет и ги поселиха на това място.
9 (E)Но те забравиха Господа, своя Бог, и Той ги предаде в ръцете на Сисара, асорски военачалник, и в ръцете на филистимци и в ръцете на моавския цар, които воюваха против тях.
10 Но когато викнаха към Господа и рекоха: „съгрешихме, защото оставихме Господа и почнахме да служим на Вааловци и Астарти, избави ни сега от ръцете на враговете ни, и ние ще служим на Тебе“,
11 (F)тогава Господ прати Иероваала и Варака, Иефтая и Самуила и ви избави от ръцете на околните ви врагове, и вие живяхте безопасно.
12 (G)Но като видяхте, че амонитският цар Наас иде против вас, вие ми казахте: „не, нека цар царува над нас“, когато Господ, вашият Бог, е ваш цар.
13 И тъй, ето царя, когото избрахте, когото искахте; ето, Господ ви постави цар.
14 (H)Ако се боите от Господа и Му служите, ако слушате гласа Му и не се противите на заповедите Господни, вие и царят ви, който царува над вас, и вървите след Господа, вашия Бог (то ръката Господня няма да бъде против вас);
15 (I)ако пък не слушате гласа Господен и почнете да се противите на заповедите Господни, ръката на Господа ще бъде против вас, както беше против бащите ви.
16 Сега станете и погледнете великото дело, което Господ ще извърши пред очите ви:
17 (J)нали сега е пшеничена жетва? Но аз ще призова Господа, и Той ще прати гръм и дъжд, и вие ще узнаете и видите, колко голям е грехът, който сте направили пред очите на Господа, искайки за себе си цар.
18 И Самуил призова Господа, и Господ прати гръм и дъжд в оня ден; и цял народ се много уплаши от Господа и Самуила.
19 (K)И целият народ рече на Самуила: помоли се за рабите си пред Господа, твоя Бог, за да не умрем; защото към всичките си грехове прибавихме още един грях, когато искахме за себе си цар.
20 (L)И отговори Самуил на народа: не се бойте, вие сторихте тоя грях, но само не отстъпвайте от Господа, и служете Господу от все сърце
21 (M)и не отивайте подир нищожни богове, които не ще ви принесат полза и не ще ви избавят, понеже са нищо;
22 а Господ няма да остави народа Си заради Своето велико име, понеже Господу беше угодно да ви избере за Свой народ;
23 (N)също и аз няма да си допусна грях пред Господа, да престана да се моля за вас, и ще ви показвам добрия и правия път;
24 (O)само бойте се от Господа и Му служете истински от всичкото си сърце, защото видяхте, какви велики дела извърши Той с вас;
25 (P)ако пък вършите зло, то и вие и царят ви ще загинете.
1 Samuel 12
New King James Version
Samuel’s Address at Saul’s Coronation
12 Now Samuel said to all Israel: “Indeed I have [a]heeded (A)your voice in all that you said to me, and (B)have made a king over you. 2 And now here is the king, (C)walking before you; (D)and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. 3 Here I am. Witness against me before the Lord and before (E)His anointed: (F)Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any (G)bribe with which to (H)blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”
4 And they said, (I)“You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man’s hand.”
5 Then he said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, (J)that you have not found anything (K)in my hand.”
And they answered, “He is witness.”
6 Then Samuel said to the people, (L)“It is the Lord who raised up Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up from the land of Egypt. 7 Now therefore, stand still, that I may (M)reason with you before the Lord concerning all the (N)righteous acts of the Lord which He did to you and your fathers: 8 (O)When Jacob had gone into [b]Egypt, and your fathers (P)cried out to the Lord, then the Lord (Q)sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place. 9 And when they (R)forgot the Lord their God, He sold them into the hand of (S)Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor, into the hand of the (T)Philistines, and into the hand of the king of (U)Moab; and they fought against them. 10 Then they cried out to the Lord, and said, (V)‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord (W)and served the Baals and [c]Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.’ 11 And the Lord sent [d]Jerubbaal, [e]Bedan, (X)Jephthah, and (Y)Samuel,[f] and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety. 12 And when you saw that (Z)Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, (AA)you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when (AB)the Lord your God was your king.
13 “Now therefore, (AC)here is the king (AD)whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, (AE)the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you (AF)fear the Lord and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the Lord your God. 15 However, if you do (AG)not obey the voice of the Lord, but (AH)rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you, as it was against your fathers.
16 “Now therefore, (AI)stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes: 17 Is today not the (AJ)wheat harvest? (AK)I will call to the Lord, and He will send thunder and (AL)rain, that you may perceive and see that (AM)your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking a king for yourselves.”
18 So Samuel called to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day; and (AN)all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 And all the people said to Samuel, (AO)“Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of asking a king for ourselves.”
20 Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; (AP)yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. 21 And (AQ)do not turn aside; (AR)for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. 22 For (AS)the Lord will not forsake (AT)His people, (AU)for His great name’s sake, because (AV)it has pleased the Lord to make you His people. 23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord (AW)in ceasing to pray for you; but (AX)I will teach you the (AY)good and the right way. 24 (AZ)Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for (BA)consider what (BB)great things He has done for you. 25 But if you still do wickedly, (BC)you shall be swept away, (BD)both you and your king.”
