10 — 1 Kings (1 Samuel)

1And Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince.E Samuele prese un vasetto di olio, e lo versò sul capo di lui, e baciollo, e disse: Ecco che il Signore ti ha unto come principe sopra la sua eredità, e tu libererai il suo popolo dalle mani dei suoi nemici che gli stanno all'intorno. E questa sarà la prova che avrai dell'averti unto il Signore, perchè sii principe.AND Samuel tooke a litle vessel of oyle, and powred vpon his head, and kissed him, and sayd: Behold, our Lord hath annointed thee vpon his inheritance to be prince, and thou shalt deliuer his people out of the handes of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shal be a signe vnto thee, that God hath annointed thee to be prince.Tulit autem Samuel lenticulam olei, et effudit super caput ejus: et deosculatus est eum, et ait: Ecce unxit te Dominus super hæreditatem suam in principem, et liberabis populum suum de manibus inimicorum ejus qui in circuitu ejus sunt. Et hoc tibi signum, quia unxit te Deus in principem. 2When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men by the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Benjamin to the south, and they shall say to thee: The asses are found which thou wentest to seek: and thy father, thinking no more of the asses, is concerned for you, and saith: What shall I do for my son?Oggi quando tu sarai partito da me, troverai due uomini presso al sepolcro di Rachele a' confini di Beniamin sul mezzodì, i quali ti diranno: Sono state trovate le asine delle quali tu andavi in cerca, e il padre tuo, che non pensava più alle asine, è inquieto per voi, e dice: che farò io pel mio figliuolo?When thou shalt be departed from me this day, thou shalt finde two men beside the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Beniamin, in the South, and they shal say to thee: The asses are found, which thou dist goe to seeke: and thy father letting goe the asses, is careful for you, and sayeth: What shal I doe concerning my sonne?Cum abieris hodie a me, invenies duos viros juxta sepulchrum Rachel in finibus Benjamin, in meridie: dicentque tibi: Inventæ sunt asinæ ad quas ieras perquirendas: et intermissis pater tuus asinis, sollicitus est pro vobis, et dicit: Quid faciam de filio meo ? 3And when thou shalt depart from thence, and go farther on, and shalt come to the oak of Thabor, there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.E quando sarai partito di là, e sarai andato più innanzi, e sarai giunto alla quercia di Thabor, ivi ti rincontreranno tre uomini, che saliranno ad adorare Dio in Bethel, uno che porterà tre capretti, e un altro con tre focacce, e un altro con una bombola di vino.And when thou shalt depart thence, and passe farder, and tha•t come to the oke Thabor, three men going vp to God into Bethel shal finde thee there, one carying three kiddes, and an other three manchettes of bread, and an other carying a flagon of wine.Cumque abieris inde, et ultra transieris, et veneris ad quercum Thabor, invenient te ibi tres viri ascendentes ad Deum in Bethel, unus portans tres hædos, et alius tres tortas panis, et alius portans lagenam vini. 4And they will salute thee, and will give thee two loaves, and thou shalt take them at their hand.E dopo averti salutato ti daranno due pani, e dalla mano loro li prenderai.And when they haue saluted thee, they wil geue thee two loaues, and thou shalt take them of their hand.Cumque te salutaverint, dabunt tibi duos panes, et accipies de manu eorum.

5After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is: and when thou shalt be come there into the city, thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place, with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they shall be prophesying.Di là andrai al colle di Dio, dove è il presidio de' Filistei: e quando sarai entrato nella città, ti verrà incontro una turba di profeti che scenderanno dal luogo eccelso, e profeteranno avendo innanzi a se lire, timpani, trombe, e cetre.After these thinges thou shalt come into the hil of God, where the garrison of the Philisthiimes is: and when thou shalt be entered there into the citie, thou shalt meete there a flocke of prophetes coming downe from the excelse, and before them psalterie and tymbrel, and shalme, and harpe, and themselues prophecying.Post hæc venies in collem Dei, ubi est statio Philisthinorum: et cum ingressus fueris ibi urbem, obvium habebis gregem prophetarum descendentium de excelso, et ante eos psalterium, et tympanum, et tibiam, et citharam, ipsosque prophetantes. 6And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be changed into another man.E lo Spirito del Signore t'investirà, e profeterai con essi, e sarai mutato io altr'uomo.And the Spirit of our Lord shal sease vpon thee, and thou shalt prophecie with them, and shalt be changed into an other man.Et insiliet in te spiritus Domini, et prophetabis cum eis, et mutaberis in virum alium. 7When therefore these signs shall happen to thee, do whatsoever thy hand shall find, for the Lord is with thee.Quando adunque ti saranno avvenuti tutti questi segni, fa tutto quello che ti occorrerà di dover fare, perocché il Signore è teco.Thefore when al these signes shal chance to thee, doe whatsoeuer thy hand shal finde, because our Lord is with thee.Quando ergo evenerint signa hæc omnia tibi, fac quæcumque invenerit manus tua, quia Dominus tecum est. 8And thou shalt go down before me to Galgal, (for I will come down to thee), that thou mayst offer an oblation, and sacrifice victims of peace: seven days shalt thou wait, till I come to thee, and I will shew thee what thou art to do.E tu scenderai prima di me a Galgala (perocché io verrò a trovarti) per offerirvi sacrifizio al Signore, e immolerai ostie pacifiche: aspetterai sette giorni, sin a tanto ch'io venga a te, e si spieghi quel che tu debba fare.And thou shalt goe downe before me into Galgala (for I wil come downe to thee) that thou mayest offer oblation, and immolate pacifique victimes: seuen daies shalt thou expect, til I come to thee, and I wil shew thee what thou must doe.Et descendes ante me in Galgala (ego quippe descendam ad te), ut offeras oblationem, et immoles victimas pacificas: septem diebus expectabis, donec veniam ad te, et ostendam tibi quid facias.

9So when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave unto him another heart, and all these things came to pass that day.Tosto adunque che egli ebbe volte le spalle per partirsi da Samuele, il Signore cambiò a lui il cuore in un altro; e tutti quei segni si verificarono in quel giorno.Therfore when he had turned away his shoulder to depart from Samuel, God changed vnto him another hart, and al these thinges came in that day.Itaque cum avertisset humerum suum ut abiret a Samuele, immutavit ei Deus cor aliud, et venerunt omnia signa hæc in die illa. 10And they came to the foresaid hill, and behold a company of prophets met him: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.E giunsero al colle indicatogli, ed ecco una turba di profeti incontro a lui: e lo Spirito del Signore lo investì, e profetò in mezzo a loro.And they came to the foresaid hil, and behold a troupe of prophetes meeting him: & the Spirit of our Lord seased vpon him. and he prophecied in the middes of them.Veneruntque ad prædictum collem, et ecce cuneus prophetarum obvius ei: et insiluit super eum spiritus Domini, et prophetavit in medio eorum. 11And all that had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and prophesied, said to each other: What is this that hath happened to the son of Cis? is Saul also among the prophets?E tutti quelli che l'aveano conosciuto poco prima, veggendo com'egli era co' profeti, e profetava, disser tra loro: Che è mai avvenuto al figliuolo di Cis? È egli anche Saul uno dei profeti?And al that had knowen him yesterday and the day before, seing that he was with the prophetes, & did prophecie, said to ech other: What thing hath happened to the sonne of Cis? what is Saul also among the prophetes?Videntes autem omnes qui noverant eum heri et nudiustertius quod esset cum prophetis, et prophetaret, dixerunt ad invicem: Quænam res accidit filio Cis ? num et Saul inter prophetas ? 12And one answered another, saying: And who is their father? therefore it became a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets?E l'uno rispose all'altro, e disse: E chi è il padre di quelli? quindi passò in proverbio: È egli anche Saul un de' profeti?And one answered an other, saying: And who is their father? therefore it was turned into a prouerbe: What is Saul also among the prophetes?Responditque alius ad alterum, dicens: Et quis pater eorum ? Propterea versum est in proverbium: Num et Saul inter prophetas ? 13And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.E finì di profetare, e andò al luogo eccelso.And he ceased to prophecie, and came to the excelse.Cessavit autem prophetare, et venit ad excelsum.

14And Saul’s uncle said to him, and to his servant: Whither went you? They answered: To seek the asses: and not finding them, we went to Samuel.E lo zio di Saul disse a lui, e al suo servo: Dove siete stati? Ed essi risposero: A cercare le asine: e non avendole trovate, siamo andati da Samuele.And Sauls vncle sayd to him, and to his seruant: Whitherwent you? who answered: To seeke the asses: which when we had not found, we came to Samuel.Dixitque patruus Saul ad eum, et ad puerum ejus: Quo abistis ? Qui responderunt: Quærere asinas: quas cum non reperissemus, venimus ad Samuelem. 15And his uncle said to him: Tell me what Samuel said to thee.E suo zio gli disse: Raccontami quello che ti ha detto Samuele.And his vncle sayd to him: Tel me what Samuel sayd to thee.Et dixit ei patruus suus: Indica mihi quid dixerit tibi Samuel. 16And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not.E Saul disse a suo zio: Egli ci fe' sapere che le asine erano trovate. Ma non iscoperse a lui il discorso che avea tenuto con lui Samuele riguardo al regno.And Saul sayd to his vncle: He told vs that the asses were found. But concerning the word of the kingdom which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not.Et ait Saul ad patruum suum: Indicavit nobis quia inventæ essent asinæ. De sermone autem regni non indicavit ei quem locutus fuerat ei Samuel. 17And Samuel called together the people to the Lord in Maspha:E Samuele adunò il popolo dinanzi al Signore in Maspha.And Samuel called together the people to our Lord in Maspha:Et convocavit Samuel populum ad Dominum in Maspha: 18And he said to the children of Israel: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who afflicted you.E disse a' figliuoli d'Israele: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio d'Israele: Io trassi Israele dall'Egitto, e vi liberai dalle mani degli Egiziani, e dalle mani di tutti i regi che vi opprimevano.And sayd to the children of Israel: Thus sayth our Lord the God of Israel: I brought Israel out of Aegypt, and deliuerd you from the hand of the Aegyptians, and from the hand of al the kinges which afflicted you.et ait ad filios Israël: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Ego eduxi Israël de Ægypto, et erui vos de manu Ægyptiorum, et de manu omnium regum qui affligebant vos. 19But you this day have rejected your God, who only hath saved you out of all your evils and your tribulations: and you have said: Nay: but set a king over us. Now therefore stand before the Lord by your tribes, and by your families.Ma voi oggi avete rigettato il vostro Dio, il quale solo vi salvò da tutti i mali, e dalle vostre tribolazioni, e avete detto: Non più così: ma crea un re che ei governi. Or adunque ponetevi dinanzi al Signore tribù per tribù, e famiglia per famiglia.But you this day haue reiected your God, who only hath saued you out of al your euils and tribulations: and you haue said: Not so: but appoint a king ouer vs. Now therefore stand before our Lord by your tribes, and by your families.Vos autem hodie projecistis Deum vestrum, qui solus salvavit vos de universis malis et tribulationibus vestris: et dixistis: Nequaquam: sed regem constitue super nos. Nunc ergo state coram Domino per tribus vestras, et per familias.

20And Samuel brought to him all the tribes of Israel, and the lot fell on the tribe of Benjamin.E Samuele tirò a sorte tutte le tribù d'Israele, e la sorte toccò alla tribù di Beniamin.And Samuel brought al the tribes of Israel, and the lotte fel on the tribe of Beniamin.Et applicuit Samuel omnes tribus Israël, et cecidit sors tribus Benjamin. 21And he brought the tribe of Benjamin and the kindreds thereof, and the lot fell upon the kindred of Metri, and it came to Saul, the son of Cis. They sought him therefore, and he was not found.E tirò a sorte le famiglie della tribù di Beniamini, e toccò la sorte alla famiglia di Metri, e finalmente a Saul figliuolo di Cis. E cercaron di lui, ma non lo trovarono.And he brought the tribe of Beniamin and the kinreds thereof, and it fel vpon the kindred of Metri, and it came vnto Saul the sonne of Cis. They therfore sought him, and he was not found,Et applicuit tribum Benjamin et cognationes ejus, et cecidit cognatio Metri: et pervenit usque ad Saul filium Cis. Quæsierunt ergo eum, et non est inventus. 22And after this they consulted the Lord whether he would come thither. And the Lord answered: Behold he is hidden at home.E dipoi interrogarono il Signore, s'ei fosse per venir colà. E il Signore rispose: Guardate che egli è nascosto in casa.And after these thinges they consulted our Lord whether he would come thither. And our Lord answered: Behold he is hid at home.Et consuluerunt post hæc Dominum utrumnam venturus esset illuc. Responditque Dominus: Ecce absconditus est domi. 23And they ran and fetched him thence: and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from the shoulders and upward.Corsero adunque e lo trasser di là: e si stette in mezzo al popolo, ed era più alto di tutta la gente dalle spalle in su.They ranne therefore and tooke him from thence: and he stood in the middes of the people, and he was higher then al the people from the shoulder and vpward.Cucurrerunt itaque et tulerunt eum inde: stetitque in medio populi, et altior fuit universo populo ab humero et sursum. 24And Samuel said to all the people: Surely you see him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people. And all the people cried and said: God save the king.E Samuele disse a tutto il popolo: Certamente voi vedete chi è l'eletto dal Signore, e com'ei non ha eguale in tutto il popolo. E gridò tutto il popolo: Viva il re.And Samuel said to al the people: Certes you see whom our Lord hath chosen, that there is not the like to him in al the people. And al the people cried, and sayd: God saue the King.Et ait Samuel ad omnem populum: Certe videtis quem elegit Dominus, quoniam non sit similis illi in omni populo. Et clamavit omnis populus, et ait: Vivat rex.

25And Samuel told the people the law of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, every one to his own house.E Samuele espose al popolo la legge del regno, e la scrisse in libro, e lo depositò davanti al Signore: e Samuele licenziò il popolo, perchè andasser ciascuno a sua casa.And Samuel spake to the people the law of the kingdom, and wrote it in a booke, and layd it vp before our Lord: and Samuel dismissed al the people, euerie one into his owne house.Locutus est autem Samuel ad populum legem regni, et scripsit in libro, et reposuit coram Domino: et dimisit Samuel omnem populum, singulos in domum suam. 26Saul also departed to his own house in Gabaa: and there went with him a part of the army, whose hearts God had touched.E parimente Saul se n'andò a casa sua in Gabaa: e andò con lui una parte dell'esercito, quelli a' quali Dio avea toccato il cuore.But Saul also departed vnto his house into Gabaa: and there went with him part of the armie, they whose hartes God had touched.Sed et Saul abiit in domum suam in Gabaa: et abiit cum eo pars exercitus, quorum tetigerat Deus corda. 27But the children of Belial said: Shall this fellow be able to save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents; but he dissembled as though he heard not.Ma i figliuoli di Belial dissero: Potrà forse salvarci costui? E lo disprezzarono, e non gli portaron doni, ed egli facea vista di non udire.But the children of Belial sayd: What shal this fellow be able to saue vs? and they despised him, and brought him not presentes: but he dissembled as though he heard not.Filii vero Belial dixerunt: Num salvare nos poterit iste ? Et despexerunt eum, et non attulerunt ei munera: ille vero dissimulabat se audire.
