21 — 2 Kings (2 Samuel)

1And there was a famine in the days of David for three years successively: and David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew the Gabaonites.Fu ancora una fame a tempo di Davidde per tre anni continui: e Davidde consultò l'oracolo del Signore, e il Signore gli disse: (Questo avviene) a causa di Saul, e della sua stirpe sanguinaria, perchè egli uccise i Gabaoniti.AND there came a famine in the daies of Dauid three yeares continually: and Dauid consulted the oracle of our Lord. And our Lord sayd: For Saul, and his bloudy house, because he slewe the Gabaonites.Facta est quoque fames in diebus David tribus annis jugiter: et consuluit David oraculum Domini. Dixitque Dominus: Propter Saul, et domum ejus sanguinum, quia occidit Gabaonitas. 2Then the king, calling for the Gabaonites, said to them: (Now the Gabaonites were not of the children of Israel, but the remains of the Amorrhites: and the children of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul sought to slay them out of zeal, as it were for the children of Israel and Juda:)E il re chiamò i Gabaoniti, e parlò ad essi: (Or i Gabaoniti non erano del numero de' figliuoli d'Israele, ma avanzi degli Amorrhei, e gl'Israeliti si erano impegnati con essi col giuramento; ma Saul volle ucciderli per zelo come per bene de' figliuoli d'Israele e Giuda)The king therfore calling the Gabaonites, sayd to them. (Moreouer the Gabaonites were not of the children of Israel, but the reliques of the Amorrheites: For the children of Israel had sworne to them, and Saul would strike them of zeale, as it were for the children of Israel and Iuda.)Vocatis ergo Gabaonitis rex, dixit ad eos (porro Gabaonitæ non erant de filiis Israël, sed reliquiæ Amorrhæorum: filii quippe Israël juraverant eis, et voluit Saul percutere eos zelo, quasi pro filiis Israël et Juda), 3David therefore said to the Gabaonites: What shall I do for you? and what shall be the atonement for you, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?Disse adunque Davidde a' Gabaoniti: Che deggio io fare per voi? e qual soddisfazione vi darò io, affinchè preghiate per l'eredità del Signore?Dauid therfore sayd to the Gabaonites: What shal I do for you? And what shal be the expiation for you, that you may blesse the inheritance of our Lord?dixit ergo David ad Gabaonitas: Quid faciam vobis ? et quod erit vestri piaculum, ut benedicatis hæreditati Domini ? 4And the Gabaonites said to him: We have no contest about silver and gold, but against Saul and against his house: neither do we desire that any man be slain of Israel. And the king said to them: What will you then that I should do for you?E i Gabaoniti dissero a lui: Noi non domandiamo argento, nè oro, ma giustizia contro Saul, e contro la sua casa; e non vogliamo, che perisca uomo d'Israele. E il re disse loro: Che volete adunque ch'io vi faccia?And the Gabaonites sayd to him: We haue no question vpon siluer and gold, but agaynst Saul, and agaynst his house: neither wil we that a man be slayne of Israel. To whom the king sayd: What wil you then that I do for you?Dixeruntque ei Gabaonitæ: Non est nobis super argento et auro quæstio, sed contra Saul, et contra domum ejus: neque volumus ut interficiatur homo de Israël. Ad quos rex ait: Quid ergo vultis ut faciam vobis ?

5And they said to the king: The man that crushed us and oppressed us unjustly, we must destroy in such manner that there be not so much as one left of his stock in all the coasts of Israel.Ed essi dissero al re: Colui, che ci ha consunti, e oppressi iniquamente, noi dobbiamo sterminarlo in guisa, che neppur uno vi resti della sua stirpe in tutto il territorio d'Israele.Who sayd to the king? The man, that hath wasted vs and oppressed vs vniustly, we must so destroy, that there be not so much as one leift of his stocke in al the coastes of Israel.Qui dixerunt regi: Virum qui attrivit nos et oppressit inique, ita delere debemus, ut ne unus quidem residuus sit de stirpe ejus in cunctis finibus Israël. 6Let seven men of his children be delivered unto us, that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gabaa of Saul, once the chosen of the Lord. And the king said: I will give them.Sieno dati a noi sette de' suoi figliuoli, affinchè noi li crocifiggiamo in onor del Signore a Gabaa, patria di Saul, che fu un dì l'eletto del Signore. E il re disse: Ve li darò.Let there be geuen vs seuen men of his children, that we may crucifie them to our Lord in Gabaa of Saul, once the chosen of our Lord. And the king sayd: I wil geue them.Dentur nobis septem viri de filiis ejus, ut crucifigamus eos Domino in Gabaa Saul, quondam electi Domini. Et ait rex: Ego dabo. 7And the king spared Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord, that had been between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.Ma il re ebbe compassione di Miphiboseth figliuolo di Gionata figliuolo di Saul per ragione della sacrosanta alleanza, che era stata tra Davidde, e Gionata figliuolo di Saul.And the king spared Miphiboseth the sonne of Ionathas the sonne of Saul, for the oth of our Lord, that had beene betwen Dauid, and betwen Ionathas the sonne of Saul.Pepercitque rex Miphiboseth filio Jonathæ filii Saul, propter jusjurandum Domini quod fuerat inter David et inter Jonathan filium Saul. 8So the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni, and Miphiboseth: and the five sons of Michol the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Hadriel the son of Berzellai, that was of Molathi:Il re adunque fece pigliare i due figliuoli di Respha figliuola di Aia, partoriti da lei a Saul, Armoni, e Miphiboseth: e cinque figliuoli di Michol figliuola di Saul partoriti da lei ad Hadriele figliuolo di Berzellai, il quale era di Molath.The king therfore tooke the two sonnes of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bare to Saul, Armoni, and Miphiboseth: and the fiue sonnes of Michol the daughter of Saul, which she bare to Hadriel the sonne of Berzellai, that was of Molathi,Tulit itaque rex duos filios Respha filiæ Aja quos peperit Sauli, Armoni, et Miphiboseth: et quinque filios Michol filiæ Saul quos genuerat Hadrieli filio Berzellai, qui fuit de Molathi,

9And gave them into the hands of the Gabaonites: and they crucified them on a hill before the Lord: and these seven died together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley began to be reaped.E li diede in mano dei Gabaoniti, i quali li crocifisser sul monte dinanzi al Signore: e perirono questi sette uccisi tutti insieme nei primi giorni della messe, quando si principiava a mietere l'orzo.and gaue them into the handes of the Gabaonites: who crucified them on a hil before our Lord: and these seuen dyed together in the first dayes of haruest, when the reaping of barley began.et dedit eos in manus Gabaonitarum: qui crucifixerunt eos in monte coram Domino: et ceciderunt hi septem simul occisi in diebus messis primis, incipiente messione hordei. 10And Respha the daughter of Aia took haircloth, and spread it under her upon the rock from the beginning of the harvest, till water dropped upon them out of heaven: and suffered neither the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night.Ma Respha figliuola di Aia, steso sopra una pietra un cilicio, ivi si stette dal principio della mietitura, fino a tanto che non cadde acqua dal cielo sopra di essi, e impedì, che gli lacerassero il giorno gli uccelli o le fiere la notte.And Respha the daughter of Aia taking a heare cloth, spred it vnder her vpon the rocke from the beginning of haruest, til water dropped vpon them from heauen: and she suffered not the birdes to teare them by day, nor the beastes by night.Tollens autem Respha filia Aja cilicium, substravit sibi supra petram ab initio messis, donec stillaret aqua super eos de cælo: et non dimisit aves lacerare eos per diem, neque bestias per noctem. 11And it was told David, what Respha the daughter of Aia, the concubine of Saul, had done.E fu riferito a Davidde quello che avea fatto Respha figliuola di Aia concubina di Saul.And the thinges were told Dauid, which Respha had done, the daughter of Aia, the concubine of Saul.Et nuntiata sunt David quæ fecerat Respha filia Aja, concubina Saul. 12And David went, and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabes Galaad, who had stolen them from the street of Bethsan, where the Philistines had hanged them when they had slain Saul in Gelboe.E Davidde andò e prese le ossa di Saul, e le ossa di Gionata suo figliuolo da quelli di Jabes di Galaad i quali le avean portate via dalla piazza di Bethsan, dove i Filistei gli aveano appesi allorché i Filistei uccisero Saul a Gelboe.And Dauid went, and tooke the bones of Saul, and the bones of Ionathas his sonne from the men of Iabes Galaad, who had stolen them out of the streate of Bethsan, in the which the Philistijms hanged them when they had killed Saul in Gelboe.Et abiit David, et tulit ossa Saul, et ossa Jonathæ filii ejus, a viris Jabes Galaad, qui furati fuerant ea de platea Bethsan in qua suspenderant eos Philisthiim cum interfecissent Saul in Gelboë:

13And he brought from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered up the bones of them that were crucified,E trasportò di là le ossa di Saul, e le ossa di Gionata suo figliuolo: e raccolte le ossa di coloro, che erano stati crocifissi,And he caried thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Ionathas his sonne: and gathering the bones of them, that were crucified,et asportavit inde ossa Saul, et ossa Jonathæ filii ejus: et colligentes ossa eorum qui affixi fuerant, 14And they buried them with the bones of Saul, and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of Cis his father: and they did all that the king had commanded, and God shewed mercy again to the land after these things.Le seppellirono insieme colle ossa di Saul, e di Gionata suo figliuolo nella terra di Beniamin da un lato nel sepolcro del padre loro Cis. E fu fatto tutto quello che il re ordinò, e dopo questo Iddio si placò verso il paese.they buried them with the bones of Saul, and of Ionathas his sonne in the Land of Beniamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of Cis his father: and they did al thinges that the king had commanded, and God was made propitious agayne to the land after these thinges.sepelierunt ea cum ossibus Saul et Jonathæ filii ejus in terra Benjamin, in latere, in sepulchro Cis patris ejus: feceruntque omnia quæ præceperat rex, et repropitiatus est Deus terræ post hæc. 15And the Philistines made war again against Israel, and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David growing faint,E di nuovo si riaccese la guerra de' Filistei contro Israele, e Davidde andò colla sua gente a combattergli: e Davidde essendo stanco,And there was a battel made agayne of the Philistianes against Israel, and Dauid went downe, and his seruantes with him, and fought agaynst the Philisthijms. And Dauid faynting,Factum est autem rursum prælium Philisthinorum adversum Israël, et descendit David, et servi ejus cum eo, et pugnabant contra Philisthiim. Deficiente autem David, 16Jesbibenob, who was of the race of Arapha, the iron of whose spear weighed three hundred ounces, being girded with a new sword, attempted to kill David.Jesbibenob della stirpe di Arapha, che portava una lancia, della quale il ferro pesava trecento once, e aveva una spada nuova, tentò di ferire Davidde.Iesbibenob, which was of the kinred of Arapha, the yron of whose speare weyed three hundred ounces, and he was girded with a new sword, assayed to strike Dauid.Jesbibenob, qui fuit de genere Arapha, cujus ferrum hastæ trecentas uncias appendebat, et accinctus erat ense novo, nisus est percutere David.

17And Abisai the son of Sarvia rescued him, and striking the Philistine killed him. Then David’s men swore unto him saying: Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, lest thou put out the lamp of Israel.Ma lo difese Abisai figliuolo di Sarvia, il quale ferì, e uccise il Filisteo: allora i soldati di Davidde giurarono, e dissero: Tu non verrai più con noi alla guerra, affinchè non si estingua la lampana d'Israele.And Abisai the sonne of Saruia reskewed him, and striking the Philistian killed him. Then sware Dauids men, saying: Thou shalt no more goe forth with vs into battel, lest thou put out the lampe of Israel.Præsidioque ei fuit Abisai filius Sarviæ, et percussum Philisthæum interfecit. Tunc juraverunt viri David, dicentes: Jam non egredieris nobiscum in bellum, ne extinguas lucernam Israël. 18There was also a second battle in Gob against the Philistines: then Sobochai of Husathi slew Saph of the race of Arapha of the family of the giants.Un'altra battaglia ancora vi fu contro i Filistei a Gob; e allora Sobochai di Husati uccise Saph de' posteri di Arapha di razza de' giganti.There was also a second battel in Gob against the Philistians: then stroke Sobochai of Husathi, Saph of the stocke of Arapha of the kindred of the gyantes.Secundum quoque bellum fuit in Gob contra Philisthæos: tunc percussit Sobochai et Husati, Saph de stirpe Arapha de genere gigantum. 19And there was a third battle in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of the Forrest an embroiderer of Bethlehem slew Goliath the Gethite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.E una terza battaglia fu ancora a Gob contro i Filistei, e in essa Adeodato figliuolo di Saltus, che tesseva stoffe di varii colori in Bethlehem, uccise Goliath di Geth, di cui l'asta della lancia era come un subbio da tessitore.There was also a third battel in Gob agaynst the Philistians, in the which Adeodatus the sonne of the Forest a broderer the Bethlehemite stroke Goliath the Getheite, the shaft of whose speare was as it were a weauers beame.Tertium quoque fuit bellum in Gob contra Philisthæos, in quo percussit Adeodatus filius Saltus polymitarius Bethlehemites Goliath Gethæum, cujus hastile hastæ erat quasi liciatorium texentium. 20A fourth battle was in Geth: where there was a man of great stature, that had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, four and twenty in all, and he was of the race of Arapha.La quarta battaglia fu a Geth, dove si trovò un uomo di grande statura che avea sei dita a ciascuna mano, e a ciascun piede, in tutto ventiquattro dita, ed era de' discendenti di Arapha.The fourth battel was in Geth: in the which was a tal man, that had six fingers and six toes on eche hand and foote, that is fowre and twentie, and he was of the race of Arapha.Quartum bellum fuit in Geth: in quo vir fuit excelsus, qui senos in manibus pedibusque habebat digitos, id est, viginti quatuor: et erat de origine Arapha.

21And he reproached Israel: and Jonathan the son of Samae the brother of David slew him.E parlava insolentemente contro Israele, e lo uccise Gionata figliuolo di Samaa fratello di Davidde.And he blasphemed Israel: and Ionathan the sonne of Samaa the brother of Dauid stroke him.Et blasphemavit Israël: percussit autem eum Jonathan filius Samaa fratris David. 22These four were born of Arapha in Geth, and they fell by the hand of David, and of his servants.Questi quattro erano nati in Geth della stirpe di Arapha, e furono uccisi da Davidde e da' suoi servi.These foure were borne of Arapha in Geth, and they fel by the hand of Dauid, and of his seruantes.Hi quatuor nati sunt de Arapha in Geth, et ceciderunt in manu David et servorum ejus.
