10 — 2 Kings (2 Samuel)

1And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.Avvenne dipoi, che morì il re de' figliuoli di Ammon, e successe a lui Hanon suo figliuolo.AND it came to passe after these thinges, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his sonne reigned for him.Factum est autem post hæc ut moreretur rex filiorum Ammon, et regnavit Hanon filius ejus pro eo. 2And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon,E David disse: Io avrò riguardo per Hanon figliuolo di Naas, come il padre suo lo ebbe per me. Davidde adunque mandò suoi ambasciatori per consolarlo della perdita del genitore. Ma arrivati che furono gli ambasciatori di David sulle terre de' figliuoli di Ammon,And Dauid said: I wil doe mercie with Hanon the sonne of Naas, as his father hath done mercie with me. Dauid therefore sent, conforting him by his seruants vpon his fathers death. But when the seruantes of Dauid were come into the land of the children of Ammon,Dixitque David: Faciam misericordiam cum Hanon filio Naas, sicut fecit pater ejus mecum misericordiam. Misit ergo David, consolans eum per servos suos super patris interitu. Cum autem venissent servi David in terram filiorum Ammon, 3The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it?Dissero i principi degli Ammoniti ad Hanon loro signore: Credi tu, che Davidde abbia mandato costoro a consolarti per far onore al padre tuo, e non piuttosto che abbia egli mandati a te i suoi servi a prender lume, ed esplorare lo stato della città per rovinarla?the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father Dauid hath sent comforters vnto thee, and not rather that he might search, and spy into the citie, and ouerthrow it, hath Dauid sent his seruants vnto thee?dixerunt principes filiorum Ammon ad Hanon dominum suum: Putas quod propter honorem patris tui miserit David ad te consolatores, et non ideo ut investigaret, et exploraret civitatem, et everteret eam, misit David servos suos ad te ? 4Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away.Hanon pertanto fece prendere i servi di David, e fe' loro radere la metà della barba, e fece tagliare la metà delle loro vesti fino alle natiche, e li rimandò.Hanon therefore tooke the seruants of Dauid, and shaued the one half of their breard, and curte away halfe their garments vnto the burtockes, and sent them away.Tulit itaque Hanon servos David, rasitque dimidiam partem barbæ eorum et præscidit vestes eorum medias usque ad nates, et dimisit eos.

5When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return.La qual cosa essendo stata riferita a Davidde, spedì gente incontro ad essi: perocché erano malamente confusi, e fece dir loro: Fermatevi in Gerico, sino che vi cresca la barba, e poi tornate.Which when it was told Dauid, he sent to meete them: for the men were counfounded very fowly, and Dauid commanded them: Tary in Iericho, til your beard be growen, and then returne.Quod cum nuntiatum esset David, misit in occursum eorum: erant enim viri confusi turpiter valde, et mandavit eis David: Manete in Jericho donec crescat barba vestra, et tunc revertimini. 6And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.Ma gli Ammoniti riflettendo all'ingiuria fatta a Davidde mandarono ad assoldare i Siri di Rohob, e i Siri di Soba, venti mila pedoni, e mille uomini dal re di Maacha, e dodici mila uomini da Istob.And the children of Ammon seing that they had done iniurie to Dauid, sent, and hyred for wages the Syrian of Rohob, and the Syrian of Soba, twentie thousand footemen, and of the king Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelue thousand men.Videntes autem filii Ammon quod injuriam fecissent David, miserunt, et conduxerunt mercede Syrum Rohob, et Syrum Soba, viginti millia peditum, et a rege Maacha mille viros, et ab Istob duodecim millia virorum. 7And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.Delle quali cose essendo stato informato Davidde mandò Gioab con tutto l'esercito de' suoi combattenti.Which when Dauid had heard, he sent Ioab and the whole armie of warryers.Quod cum audisset David, misit Joab et omnem exercitum bellatorum. 8And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.Si mossero adunque i figliuoli di Ammon, e ordinarono le loro schiere al primo ingresso della porta; ma i Siri di Soba, e di Rohob, e di Istob, e di Maacha erano a parte nella campagna.The children therefore of Ammon issued forth, and sette their men in aray before the verie entrance of the gate: but the Syrian of Soba, and Rohab, and Istob, and Maacha were by them selues in the fielde.Egressi sunt ergo filii Ammon, et direxerunt aciem ante ipsum introitum portæ: Syrus autem Soba, et Rohob, et Istob, et Maacha, seorsum erant in campo.

9Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:Gioab adunque veggendo, come quegli eran preparati ad attaccarlo alla fronte, e alle spalle, fece scelta di tutti i più bravi d'Israele, e li mise in ordinanza in faccia a' Siri:Ioab therefore seing, that there was battel prepared against him, both before him and behind him, he piked out of al the chosen of Israel, and directed his armie agaynst the Syrian:Videns igitur Joab quod præparatum esset adversum se prælium et ex adverso et post tergum, elegit ex omnibus electis Israël, et instruxit aciem contra Syrum: 10And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.E il rimanente del popolo lo diede ad Abisai suo fratello, il quale si volse colle sue schiere contro gli Ammoniti.and the rest of the people he deliuered to Abisai his brother, who directed his armie against the children of Ammon.reliquam autem partem populi tradidit Abisai fratri suo, qui direxit aciem adversus filios Ammon. 11And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me, but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.E dissegli Gioab: Se i Siri avran vantaggio sopra di me, tu mi darai soccorso: e se i figliuoli di Ammon avran vantaggio sopra di te, io ti soccorrerò.And Ioab sayd: If the Syrian shal preuayle against me, thou shalt ayde me: and if the children of Ammon shal preuayle agaynst thee, I wil ayde thee.Et ait Joab: Si prævaluerint adversum me Syri, eris mihi in adjutorium: si autem filii Ammon prævaluerint adversum te, auxiliabor tibi. 12Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.Portati da uomo valoroso, e combattiamo pel nostro popolo, e pella città del nostro Dio: il Signore poi farà quello che a lui piacerà.Play the man, and let vs fight for our people, and the citie of our God: and our Lord wil doe that which is good in his sight.Esto vir fortis, et pugnemus pro populo nostro et civitate Dei nostri: Dominus autem faciet quod bonum est in conspectu suo. 13And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.Cominciò adunque Gioab, e la gente che era con lui, la battaglia contro i Siri: i quali subito voltarono a lui le spalle.Ioab therefore and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: Who immediatly fled from his face.Iniit itaque Joab, et populus qui erat cum eo, certamen contra Syros: qui statim fugerunt a facie ejus.

14And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.E i figliuoli di Ammon veggendo, come i Siri si eran dati alla fuga, fuggirono anch'essi dalla faccia di Abisai: e si ritirarono nella città. E Gioab se ne tornò dal paese degli Ammoniti, e venne a Gerusalemme.And the children of Ammon seing that the Syrians were fled, they also fled from the face of Abisai, and entred into the citie: and Ioab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Ierusalem.Filii autem Ammon videntes quia fugissent Syri, fugerunt et ipsi a facie Abisai, et ingressi sunt civitatem: reversusque est Joab a filiis Ammon, et venit Jerusalem. 15Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.Ma i Siri considerando, come si erano sbigottiti in faccia ad Israele, si riunirono tutti insieme.Therefore the Syrians seing that they were fallen before Israel, they gathered themselues together.Videntes igitur Syri quoniam corruissent coram Israël, congregati sunt pariter. 16And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.E Adarezer fece venire i Siri, che abitano di là dal fiume e condusse seco il loro esercito: e Sobach capitano delle milizie di Adarezer comandava ad essi.And Adar-ezer sent, and fetched out the Syrians, that were beyond the riuer, and brought their armie: and Sobach the maister of Adar-ezers warre, was their chief captaine.Misitque Adarezer, et eduxit Syros qui erant trans fluvium, et adduxit eorum exercitum: Sobach autem, magister militiæ Adarezer, erat princeps eorum. 17And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him.La qual cosa riferita che fu a Davidde, raunò tutto Israele, e passò il Giordano e andò ad Helam. E i Siri ordinarono le loro schiera in faccia a Davidde, e vennero alle mani con esso:Which when it was told Dauid, he gathered together al Israel, and passed ouer Iordan, and came into Helam: & the Syrians put them selues in aray against Dauid, & fought against him.Quod cum nuntiatum esset David, contraxit omnem Israëlem, et transivit Jordanem, venitque in Helam: et direxerunt aciem Syri ex adverso David, et pugnaverunt contra eum. 18And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.Ma i Siri furon messi in fuga da Israele, e David distrusse a' Siri settecento cocchi, e quaranta mila soldati a cavallo; e ferì Sobach capo delle milizie, il quale subitamente morì.And the Syrians fled from the face of Israel, and Dauid slewe of the Syrians seuen hundred chariotes, and fourtie thousand horsemen: and Sobach the prince of the warre he stroke: who forth with died.Fugeruntque Syri a facie Israël, et occidit David de Syris septingentos currus, et quadraginta millia equitum: et Sobach principem militiæ percussit, qui statim mortuus est.

19And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.Or tutti i regi che eran venuti in ajuto di Adarezer, vedendosi superati da Israele, si sbigottirono, e voltarono le spalle a Israele in numero di cinquant'otto mila uomini. E fecer pace con Israele, e furon soggetti a lui, e non si arrischiarono più i Siri a dar soccorso a' figliuoli di Ammon.And al the kinges, that were to ayde Adarezer, seing them selues ouercome of Israel, were afrayd and fled eight & fiftie thousand before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and serued them, and the Syrians were afrayd any more to ayde the children of Ammon.Videntes autem universi reges qui erant in præsidio Adarezer, se victos esse ab Israël, expaverunt, et fugerunt quinquaginta et octo millia coram Israël. Et fecerunt pacem cum Israël, et servierunt eis: timueruntque Syri auxilium præbere ultra filiis Ammon.
