28 — 1 Kings (1 Samuel)

1And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies, to be prepared for war against Israel: And Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy men.Or egli avvenne in quei giorni che i Filistei raunarono le loro schiere per prepararsi alla guerra contro Israele: e Achis disse a David: Sappi per cosa certa che verrai in campo con me tu, e la tua gente.AND it came to passe that in those daies the Philistijms gathered together their companies, that they might be prepared to battel against Israel: and Achis sayd to Dauid: Knowing know thou now, that thou shalt goe forth with me in the campe, thou, and thy men.Factum est autem in diebus illis, congregaverunt Philisthiim agmina sua, ut præpararentur ad bellum contra Israël: dixitque Achis ad David: Sciens nunc scito quoniam mecum egredieris in castris, tu et viri tui. 2And David said to Achis: Now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achis said to David: And I will appoint thee to guard my life for ever.E David rispose ad Achis; Or tu saprai quel che sia per fare il tuo servo. E Achis disse a David: E io ti fiderò la guardia della mia persona per sempre.And Dauid sayd to Achis: Now thou shalt know what thy seruant wil doe. And Achis sayd to Dauid: And I wil appoint thee keper of my head al daies.Dixitque David ad Achis: Nunc scies quæ facturus est servus tuus. Et ait Achis ad David: Et ego custodem capitis mei ponam te cunctis diebus. 3Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha, his city. And Saul had put away all the magicians and soothsayers out of the land.Or Samuele era morto, e tutto Israele lo avea pianto, e lo avean sepolto in Ramatha sua patria. E Saul avea discacciati dal paese i maghi, e gl'indovini.And Samuel was dead, and al Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha his citie. And Saul tooke al the magicians and soothsayers out of the land.Samuel autem mortuus est, planxitque eum omnis Israël, et sepelierunt eum in Ramatha urbe sua. Et Saul abstulit magos et hariolos de terra. 4And the Philistines were gathered together, and came and encamped in Sunam: and Saul also gathered together all Israel, and came to Gelboe.Ed essendosi raunati i Filistei andarono a porre il campo a Sunam: Saul parimente raunò tutto Israele, e andò a Gelboe.And the Philistijms were gathered together, and came and camped in Sunam: and Saul also gathered together al Israel, and came into Gelboe.Congregatique sunt Philisthiim, et venerunt, et castrametati sunt in Sunam: congregavit autem et Saul universum Israël, et venit in Gelboë.

5And Saul saw the army of the Philistines, and was afraid, and his heart was very much dismayed.E Saul avendo veduto l'accampamento de' Filistei, ebbe timore, e il suo cuore si sbigottì formisura;And Saul saw the campe of the Philistijms, and feared, and his hart was afrayd excedingly.Et vidit Saul castra Philisthiim, et timuit, et expavit cor ejus nimis. 6And he consulted the Lord, and he answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.E consultò il Signore, il quale non gli diede risposta nè in sogno, nè per mezzo de' sacerdoti, nè per mezzo de' profeti.And he consulted our Lord, and he answered him not, neither by dreames, nor by priestes, nor by prophetes.Consuluitque Dominum, et non respondit ei neque per somnia, neque per sacerdotes, neque per prophetas. 7And Saul said to his servants: Seek me a woman that hath a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire by her. And his servants said to him: There is a woman that hath a divining spirit at Endor.E Saul disse a' suoi servi: Cercatemi una donna, che abbia lo spirito di Pithone: e andrò a trovarla, e consulterò per mezzo di lei. E i suoi servi disser a lui. Havvi in Endor una donna che ha lo spirito di Pithone.And Saul sayd to his seruantes: Seeke me a woman that hath a pithonical spirite, and I wil goe to her, and wil aske by her. And his seruantes sayd to him: There is a woman that hath a pithonical spirite in Endor.Dixitque Saul servis suis: Quærite mihi mulierem habentem pythonem, et vadam ad eam, et sciscitabor per illam. Et dixerunt servi ejus ad eum: Est mulier pythonem habens in Endor. 8Then he disguised himself: and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night, and he said to her: Divine to me by thy divining spirit, and bring me up him whom I shall tell thee.Egli adunque si contraffece, e prese altre vesti, e andò con due altri a trovare la donna di notte tempo, e le disse: Interroga per me lo spirito di Pithone, e fammi apparire colui ch'io ti dirò.He therefore changed his habite and was clothed with other garmentes, and he went himselfe, and two men with him, and they came to the woman in the night, and sayd to her: Deuine vnto me in the pythonical spirite, and raise me vp whom I shal tel thee.Mutavit ergo habitum suum, vestitusque est aliis vestimentis, et abiit ipse, et duo viri cum eo: veneruntque ad mulierem nocte, et ait illi: Divina mihi in pythone, et suscita mihi quem dixero tibi. 9And the woman said to him: Behold thou knowest all that Saul hath done, and how he hath rooted out the magicians and soothsayers from the land: why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to be put to death?E la donna disse a lui: Tu ben sai tutto quel che ha fatto Saul, e come ha sterminati dal paese i maghi, e gl'indovini: perchè adunque vieni tu a tentarmi per farmi perder la vita?And the woman sayd to him: Loe, thou knowest what great thinges Saul hath done, and how he hath raysed the magicians and sothsayers out of the land: why therefore doest thou lye in waite for my life, that I may be slaine?Et ait mulier ad eum: Ecce, tu nosti quanta fecerit Saul, et quomodo eraserit magos et hariolos de terra: quare ergo insidiaris animæ meæ, ut occidar ?

10And Saul swore unto her by the Lord, saying: As the Lord liveth, there shall no evil happen to thee for this thing.E Saul le giurò pel Signore, dicendo: Viva il Signore, non ti avverrà nissun male per questo.And Saul sware vnto her in our Lord, saying: Our Lord liueth, there shal no euil happen vnto thee for this thing.Et juravit ei Saul in Domino, dicens: Vivit Dominus, quia non eveniet tibi quidquam mali propter hanc rem. 11And the woman said to him: Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.E la donna disse: Chi debb'io farli apparire? E quegli rispose: Fammi apparir Samuele.And the woman sayd to him: Whom shal I rayse vp to thee? Who sayd: Raise me vp Samuel.Dixitque ei mulier: Quem suscitabo tibi ? Qui ait: Samuelem mihi suscita. 12And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and said to Saul: Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.Ma la donna avendo veduto apparir Samuele levò un grande strido, e disse a Saul: Perchè mi hai tu ingannata? tu se' Saul.And when the woman had seene Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and sayd to Saul: Why hast thou deceiued me? for thou art Saul.Cum autem vidisset mulier Samuelem, exclamavit voce magna, et dixit ad Saul: Quare imposuisti mihi ? tu es enim Saul. 13And the king said to her: Fear not: what hast thou seen? and the woman said to Saul: I saw gods ascending out of the earth.Ma il re disse: Non temere: che hai tu veduto? E la donna disse a Saul: Ho veduti degli dei uscir fuori della terra.And the King sayd to her: Feare not: what sawest thou? And the woman sayd to Saul: I saw Goddes coming out of the earth.Dixitque ei rex: Noli timere: quid vidisti ? Et ait mulier ad Saul: Deos vidi ascendentes de terra. 14And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored.Ed ei le disse: Come è egli fatto? Disse colei: È venuto un vecchio coperto con un mantello. E Saul comprese come quegli era Samuele, e s'inchinò colla faccia sino a terra, e lo adorò.And he sayd to her: What maner of forme hath he? who sayd: An old man is come vp, and he is clothed with a mantel. And Saul vnderstood that it was Samuel,and he bowed himselfe vpon his face on the earth, and adored.Dixitque ei: Qualis est forma ejus ? Quæ ait: Vir senex ascendit, et ipse amictus est pallio. Et intellexit Saul quod Samuel esset, et inclinavit se super faciem suam in terra, et adoravit.

15And Samuel said to Saul: Why hast thou disturbed my rest, that I should be brought up? And Saul said: I am in great distress: for the Philistines fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayst shew me what I shall do.Ma Samuele disse a Saul: Perchè m'inquieti tu, facendomi apparire? E disse Saul: Io sono in angustie: perocché i Filistei mi han mossa guerra, e Dio si è ritirato da me, e non ha voluto esaudirmi nè per mezzo di profeti, nè per via di sogni. Ho adunque fatto apparir te, perchè mi dica quel che ho da fare.And Samuel sayd to Saul: why hast thou disquieted me, that I should be raised vp? And Saul sayd, I am in great distresse: for the Philistijms fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not heare me, neither in the hand of prophetes, not by dreames: therefore I haue called thee, that thou shouldest shew me, what I shal doe.Dixit autem Samuel ad Saul: Quare inquietasti me ut suscitarer ? Et ait Saul: Coarctor nimis: siquidem Philisthiim pugnant adversum me, et Deus recessit a me, et exaudire me noluit neque in manu prophetarum, neque per somnia: vocavi ergo te, ut ostenderes mihi quid faciam. 16And Samuel said: Why askest thou me, seeing the Lord has departed from thee, and is gone over to thy rival?E Samuele rispose: Per qual motivo consulti me, mentre il Signore si è ritirato da te, ed è favorevole al tuo rivale?And Samuel sayd: Why askest thou, whereas our Lord is departed from thee, and is passed to thine aduersarie?Et ait Samuel: Quid interrogas me, cum Dominus recesserit a te, et transierit ad æmulum tuum ? 17For the Lord will do to thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David:Perocché il Signore farà quello che per mezzo mio ti predisse, e strapperà di mano a te il regno, e darallo al tuo prossimo Davidde:For our Lord wil doe to thee as he spake in my hand, and he wil cut thy kingdome out of thy hand, & wil geue it to thy neighbour Dauid:Faciet enim tibi Dominus sicut locutus est in manu mea, et scindet regnum tuum de manu tua et dabit illud proximo tuo David: 18Because thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, neither didst thou execute the wrath of his indignation upon Amalec. Therefore hath the Lord done to thee what thou sufferest this day.Perchè tu non hai ubbidito alla voce del Signore, e non facesti quello che l'ira di lui esigeva contro gli Amaleciti: per questo il Signore ha fatto oggi a te quello che tu patisci.because thou hast not obeyed the voice of our Lord, neither didst thou the wrath of his furie in Amalec. Therefore that which thou sufferest hath our Lord done to thee this day.quia non obedisti voci Domini, neque fecisti iram furoris ejus in Amalec: idcirco quod pateris, fecit tibi Dominus hodie.

19And the Lord also will deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines: and to morrow thou and thy sons shall be with me: and the Lord will also deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.E il Signore di più darà Israele con te nelle mani de' Filistei: domane tu, e i tuoi figliuoli sarete con me: e anche il campo d'Israele darà il Signore in preda a' Filistei.And our Lord wil geue Israel also with thee into the handes of the Philistijms: and to morow thou and thy sonnes shal be with me: yea the campe also of Israel wil our Lord deliuer into the handes of the Philisthijms.Et dabit Dominus etiam Israël tecum in manus Philisthiim: cras autem tu et filii tui mecum eritis: sed et castra Israël tradet Dominus in manus Philisthiim. 20And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground; for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day.Subitamente cadde Saul per terra disteso: perocché si sbigottì alle parole di Samuele ed era senza forze, non avendo preso cibo per tutto quel giorno.And forthwith Saul fel stretched forth on the ground, for he feared much the wordes of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, because he had not eaten bread al that day.Statimque Saul cecidit porrectus in terram: extimuerat enim verba Samuelis, et robur non erat in eo, quia non comederat panem tota die illa. 21And the woman came to Saul, (for he was very much troubled) and said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest to me.Ma quella donna tornò a trovar Saul, che era turbato altamente, e gli disse: Ecco che la tua serva ha ubbidito alla tua parola, e ho messa in pericolo la mia vita, e ho prestato fede a quel che tu mi hai detto.That woman therefore went vnto Saul (for he was very much trubled) and sayd to him: Behold thy handmaide hath obeied thy voice, and I haue put my life in my hand: and I heard the wordes, which thou spakest to me.Ingressa est itaque mulier illa ad Saul (conturbatus enim erat valde), dixitque ad eum: Ecce obedivit ancilla tua voci tuæ, et posui animam meam in manu mea: et audivi sermones tuos, quos locutus es ad me. 22Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, that thou mayst eat and recover strength, and be able to go on thy journey.Adesso adunque ascolta anche tu la voce della tua serva, e io ti porrò davanti un pezzo di pane, onde ripigli le forze col mangiare, e possi far tuo viaggio.Now therefore heare thou also the voice of thy handmaide, and I wil set before thee a morsel of bread, that eating thou mayest recouer strength, and be able to goe on thy iourney.Nunc igitur audi et tu vocem ancillæ tuæ, et ponam coram te buccellam panis, ut comedens convalescas, et possis iter agere.

23But he refused, and said: I will not eat. But his servants and the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose from the ground, and sat upon the bed.Ma egli negò, e disse: Non mangerò. I suoi servi però e la donna gli fecero violenza, e finalmente facendo a modo loro si alzò da terra, e si pose a sedere sul letto.Who refused, and sayd: I wil not eate. But his seruantes and the woman forced him, and at length hearing their voice, he arose from the ground, and sate vpon the bed.Qui renuit, et ait: Non comedam. Coëgerunt autem eum servi sui et mulier, et tandem audita voce eorum surrexit de terra, et sedit super lectum. 24Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she made haste and killed it: and taking meal, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread,Or la donna aveva in casa un vitello di serbatoio, e andò in fretta, e lo uccise, e presa della farina la impastò, e ne fece pane senza lievito;And that woman had a pasture fed calfe in the house, and she made hast, and killed him: and taking meale kneded it, and baked azimes,Mulier autem illa habebat vitulum pascualem in domo, et festinavit, et occidit eum: tollensque farinam, miscuit eam, et coxit azyma, 25And set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night.E lo pose davanti a Saul e a' suoi servi. Ed eglino mangiato che ebbero si partirono, e camminarono tutta notte.and sette before Saul, and before his seruantes, who when they had eaten rose vp, and walked al that night.et posuit ante Saul et ante servos ejus. Qui cum comedissent, surrexerunt, et ambulaverunt per totam noctem illam.
