19 — 1 Kings (1 Samuel)

1And Saul spoke to Jonathan, his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David exceedingly.E Saul parlò a Gionata suo figliuolo, e a tutti i suoi servi perchè uccidessero Davidde. Ma Gionata figliuolo di Saul amava grandemente Davidde.AND Saul spake to Ionathas his sonne, and to al his seruantes, that they should kil Dauid. Moreouer Ionathas the sonne of Saul, loued Dauid excedingly.Locutus est autem Saul ad Jonathan filium suum, et ad omnes servos suos, ut occiderent David. Porro Jonathas filius Saul diligebat David valde: 2And Jonathan told David, saying: Saul, my father, seeketh to kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning and thou shalt abide in a secret place, and shalt be hid.E Gionata ne diede avviso a Davidde, dicendo: Saul padre mio cerca di farti morire: per la qualcosa ti prego, sta sulle tue per domane, e va in luogo segreto, e nasconditiAnd Ionathas told Dauid, saying: Saul my father seeketh to kil thee: wherefore looke to thy self I besech thee in the morning, and thou shalt abide secretly, and shalt be hid.et indicavit Jonathas David, dicens: Quærit Saul pater meus occidere te: quapropter observa te, quæso, mane: et manebis clam, et absconderis. 3And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art: and I will speak of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, I will tell thee.Alla campagna dovunque vorrai, mentre io anderò a trovare mio padre; e parlerò di te al padre mio, e ti farò sapere tutto quello che avrò osservato.But I going forth wil stand beside my father, in the field wheresoeuer he shal be: and I wil speake of thee to my father, and whatsoeuer I shal see, I wil tel thee.Ego autem egrediens stabo juxta patrem meum in agro, ubicumque fueris: et ego loquar de te ad patrem meum, et quodcumque videro, nuntiabo tibi. 4And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul, his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee.Gionata adunque parlò a Saulle suo padre in favor di Davidde, e gli disse: Non far male, o re, a Davidde tuo servo, perocché egli non ha fatto male a te, e le sue operazioni sono state a te molto utili.Ionathas therefore spake good wordes of Dauid to Saul his father: and sayd to him: Sinne not, o King against thy seruant Dauid, because he hath not sinned toward thee, and his workes are very good for thee.Locutus est ergo Jonathas de David bona ad Saul patrem suum: dixitque ad eum: Ne pecces rex in servum tuum David, quia non peccavit tibi, et opera ejus bona sunt tibi valde.

5And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood, by killing David, who is without fault?Ed egli pose a repentaglio la propria vita, e uccise il Filisteo, lo che fu una grazia grande fatta dal Signore a tutto Israele: tu lo vedesti, e ne provasti allegrezza. Perchè adunque peccherai tu contro un sangue innocente, uccidendo Davidde che non ha colpa?And he put his life in his hand, and stroke the Philistian, and our Lord made great saluation to al Israel. Thou hast seene & didst reioice, why therefore sinnest thou in innocent blood killing Dauid, who is without fault?Et posuit animam suam in manu sua, et percussit Philisthæum, et fecit Dominus salutem magnam universo Israëli: vidisti, et lætatus es. Quare ergo peccas in sanguine innoxio, interficiens David, qui est absque culpa ? 6And when Saul heard this, he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain.Ciò avendo udito Saul placato alle parole di Gionata, giurò: Viva il Signore, egli non morrà.Which when Saul had heard, being pacified with the voice of Ionathas, he sware: Our Lord liueth, he shal not be slaine.Quod cum audisset Saul, placatus voce Jonathæ, juravit: Vivit Dominus, quia non occidetur. 7Then Jonathan called David, and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before.Gionata allora chiamò Davidde, e gli raccontò tutte queste cose: e Gionata introdusse Davidde a Saul, e (Davidde) si stette presso di lui, come pell'avanti.Ionathas therefore called Dauid and shewed him al these wordes, and Ionathas brought in Dauid to Saul, and he was before him, as he had bene yesterday and the day before.Vocavit itaque Jonathas David, et indicavit ei omnia verba hæc: et introduxit Jonathas David ad Saul, et fuit ante eum sicut fuerat heri et nudiustertius. 8And the war began again, and David went out, and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.E cominciò di nuovo la guerra: e David andò a combattere contro i Filistei, e ne fece gran macello, e fuggiron dal cospetto di lui.And there was battel raysed againe, and Dauid going forth, fought against the Philistijms, and stroke them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.Motum est autem rursum bellum: et egressus David, pugnavit adversum Philisthiim: percussitque eos plaga magna, et fugerunt a facie ejus.

9And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul; and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand.E lo spirito malo (permettendolo il Signore) entrò in Saul. Or ei sedeva in casa sua avendo in mano una lancia, e David colla sua mano toccava il suo strumento.And the euil spirit of our Lord came vpon Saul, and he sate in his house, and held a speare: moreouer Dauid played with his hand.Et factus est spiritus Domini malus in Saul: sedebat autem in domo sua, et tenebat lanceam: porro David psallebat manu sua. 10And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled, and escaped that night.E Saul tentò di conficcar Davidde nel muro colla sua lancia, ma David schivò il colpo di Saul, e la lancia senza fargli male andò a percuotere il muro, e David si fuggì, e si salvò per quella notte.And Saul endeuoured to naile Dauid to the wal with his speare. And Dauid declined from the face of Saul and the speare without making wound, pearced the wal, and Dauid fled, and was saued that night.Nisusque est Saul configere David lancea in pariete, et declinavit David a facie Saul: lancea autem casso vulnere perlata est in parietem, et David fugit, et salvatus est nocte illa. 11Saul therefore sent his guards to David’s house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol, David’s wife, had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, to morrow thou wilt die:Ma Saul mandò le sue guardie alla casa di David per assicurarsi di sua persona, e farlo morir la mattina. Ma Michol sua moglie avendogli di ciò dato parte, e avendogli detto: Se tu non ti metti in sicuro stanotte, domani sarai morto:Saul therefore sent of his guarde into Dauids house, that they should keepe him, & that he might be killed in the morning: Which when Michol his wife had told Dauid, saying Vnles thou saue thy self this night, to morowe thou shalt die:Misit ergo Saul satellites suos in domum David, ut custodirent eum, et interficeretur mane. Quod cum annuntiasset David Michol uxor sua, dicens: Nisi salvaveris te nocte hac, cras morieris: 12She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away, and escaped.Lo calò per una finestra: ed egli andò via, e si fuggì, e si salvò.she let him downe through a windowe, moreouer he went and fled away, and was saued.deposuit eum per fenestram. Porro ille abiit et aufugit, atque salvatus est. 13And Michol took an image, and laid it on the bed, and put a goat’s skin, with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes.Ma Michol prese una statua, e la pose sul letto, e le mise attorno al capo una pelle di capra col pelo, e sopra le mise le coperte.And Michol tooke a statua, and put it vpon the bed, and a hearie skinne of goates she layd at the head thereof, and couered it with garmentes.Tulit autem Michol statuam, et posuit eam super lectum, et pellem pilosam caprarum posuit ad caput ejus, et operuit eam vestimentis.

14And Saul sent officers to seize David; and it was answered that he was sick.E Saul mandò guardie a prendere David, e fu risposto che era ammalato.And Saul sent serieantes, that should take away Dauid by force, and it was answered that he was sicke.Misit autem Saul apparitores, qui raperent David: et responsum est quod ægrotaret. 15And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.E spedì Saul di nuovo de' messi a vedere David, dicendo: Portatemelo nel suo letto, affinchè io lo faccia morire.And againe Saul sent messengers to see Dauid, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slaine.Rursumque misit Saul nuntios ut viderent David, dicens: Afferte eum ad me in lecto, ut occidatur. 16And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat skin at his head.E questi essendo venuti trovaron nel letto la statua, e la pelle di capra messale attorno al capo.And when the messengers were come, there was found a statua vpon the bed, and skinnes of goates at the head thereof.Cumque venissent nuntii, inventum est simulacrum super lectum, et pellis caprarum ad caput ejus. 17And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee.E Saul disse a Michol: Perchè mi hai tu burlato così, e hai dato campo al nimico mio di fuggire? E Michol disse a Saul: Perchè egli mi disse: Lasciami andare, altrimenti io ti ammazzerò.And Saul sayd to Michol: Why hast thou mocked me, and let goe myn enemie that he might flee? And Michol answered Saul: Because he sayd to me: Let me goe, otherwise I wil kil thee.Dixitque Saul ad Michol: Quare sic illusisti mihi, et dimisisti inimicum meum ut fugeret ? Et respondit Michol ad Saul: Quia ipse locutus est mihi: Dimitte me, alioquin interficiam te. 18But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth.Ma David si fuggì, e si pose in sicuro, e andò a trovare Samuele a Ramatha, e gli raccontò tutte le cose fatte a lui da Saul: e partirono egli e Samuele, e si fermarono a Najoth.But Dauid fleing was saued, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him al thinges that Saul had done to him: and he & Samuel went & abode in Naioth.David autem fugiens salvatus est, et venit ad Samuel in Ramatha, et nuntiavit ei omnia quæ fecerat sibi Saul: et abierunt ipse et Samuel, et morati sunt in Najoth. 19And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth, in Ramatha.E vi fu chi riferì a Saul, e gli disse: Si sa che David è in Najoth di Ramatha.And it was told Saul by some saying: Behold Dauid is in Naioth in Ramatha.Nuntiatum est autem Sauli a dicentibus: Ecce David in Najoth in Ramatha.

20So Saul sent officers to take David: and when they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord came also upon them, and they likewise began to prophesy.Allora Saul mandò delle guardie a prendere David: ma queste avendo veduto un'adunanza di profeti che lodavano Dio, e Samuele che era loro capo, lo Spirito del Signore entrò anche in essi, e principiarono anch'eglino a lodare Dio.Saul therefore sent seriantes to take away Dauid: who when they had seene a troupe of prophetes prophecying, & Samuel standing ouer them, the spirit of our Lord came also on them, and they also began to prophecie.Misit ergo Saul lictores, ut raperent David: qui cum vidissent cuneum prophetarum vaticinantium, et Samuelem stantem super eos, factus est etiam spiritus Domini in illis, et prophetare cœperunt etiam ipsi. 21And when this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceeding angry,Ed essendo stata riferita la cosa a Saul, spedì altri messi: ma questi ancora si diedero a lodar Dio. E mandonne altri per la terza volta, i quali parimente si misero a lodar Dio. E Saul ne concepì grandissimo sdegno.Which when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also did prophecie. And againe Saul sent the third messengers: who also prophecied And Saul being wrath for anger,Quod cum nuntiatum esset Sauli, misit et alios nuntios: prophetaverunt autem et illi. Et rursum misit Saul tertios nuntios: qui et ipsi prophetaverunt. Et iratus iracundia Saul, 22Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they are in Najoth, in Ramatha.Andò ancor egli a Ramatha, e si avanzò sino alla gran cisterna, che è in Socho, e domandò, e disse: Dove sono Samuele, e Davidde? E fugli risposto: Sono là in Najoth di Ramatha.went also him selfe into Ramatha, and came as farre as the great cesterne, which is in Socho, and asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and Dauid? And it was told him: Loe they are in Naioth in Ramatha.abiit etiam ipse in Ramatha, et venit usque ad cisternam magnam quæ est in Socho, et interrogavit, et dixit: In quo loco sunt Samuel et David ? Dictumque est ei: Ecce in Najoth sunt in Ramatha. 23And he went to Najoth, in Ramatha, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth, in Ramatha.Ed egli si portò a Najoth di Ramatha, e lo spirito del Signore entrò anche in lui, e per viaggio cantava le laudi di Dio, fino che arrivò a Najoth di Ramatha.And he went into Naioth in Ramatha, and the Spirit of our Lord came vpon him, and he walked going, and he prophecied til he came into Naioth in Ramatha.Et abiit in Najoth in Ramatha, et factus est etiam super eum spiritus Domini, et ambulabat ingrediens, et prophetabat usque dum veniret in Najoth in Ramatha.

24And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets?E si spogliò di più da sé stesso delle sue vestimenta: e cantò le laudi del Signore con tutti gli altri dinanzi a Samuele, e stette nudo per terra tutto quel dì e la notte. Donde ne venne il proverbio: È egli tra' profeti anche Saul?And he stripped himselfe of his garments, and prophecied with the rest before Samuel, and sang naked al that day and night. Wherupon there went out also a prouerb: What is Saul also among the prophetes.Et expoliavit etiam ipse se vestimentis suis, et prophetavit cum ceteris coram Samuele, et cecidit nudus tota die illa et nocte. Unde et exivit proverbium: Num et Saul inter prophetas ?
