23 — 2 Kings (2 Samuel)

1Now these are David’s last words. David the son of Isai said: The man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the excellent psalmist of Israel said:Queste sono le ultime parole di Davidde. Disse, Davidde figliuolo d'Isai: Disse l'uomo, a cui fu data parola del Cristo di Dio di Giacobbe, l'egregio cantore d'Israele.AND these are Dauides last wordes. Dauid the sonne of Isai sayd: The man sayd, to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Iacob, the excellent Psalmist of Israel:Hæc autem sunt verba David novissima. Dixit David filius Isai: Dixit vir, cui constitutum est de christo Dei Jacob, / egregius psaltes Israël: 2The spirit of the Lord hath spoken by me and his word by my tongue.Lo Spirito del Signore per me parlò, e la parola di lui (fu) sulla mia lingua.The Spirit of our Lord hath spoken by me, and his wordes by my tongue.Spiritus Domini locutus est per me, / et sermo ejus per linguam meam. 3The God of Israel said to me, the strong one of Israel spoke, the ruler of men, the just ruler in the fear of God.A me parlò il Dio d'Israele, il forte d'Israele parlò; il dominatore degli uomini, il giusto dominatore di que' che temon Dio.The God of Israel sayd to me, the Strong one of Israel hath spoken, the Dominatour of men, the iust ruler in the feare of God.Dixit Deus Israël mihi, / locutus est fortis Israël: / Dominator hominum, / justus dominator in timore Dei, 4As the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning without clouds, and as the grass springeth out of the earth by rain.Essi saranno, come la luce dell'aurora splendente al mattino, quando si leva il sole senza nuvole, e come l'erba, che germina dalla terra dopo la pioggia.As the light of the mourning when the sunne ryseth, early without cloudes glistereth, and as by rayne grasse springeth our of the earth.sicut lux auroræ, oriente sole, / mane absque nubibus rutilat: / et sicut pluviis germinat herba de terra. 5Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up.Nè ella è da tanto la mia casa dinanzi a Dio, che egli dovesse fermare con me un'alleanza eterna, stabile in tutto, e immutabile: perocché egli è tutta la mia salute, e tutta consolazione: e nulla è, che da quella non abbia origine.Neither is my house so great with God, that he should enter with me an eternal couenant firme in al thinges & assured. For al my saluation, and al my wil: neither is there ought therof that springeth not.Nec tanta est domus mea apud Deum, / ut pactum æternum iniret mecum, / firmum in omnibus atque munitum. / Cuncta enim salus mea, et omnis voluntas, / nec est quidquam ex ea quod non germinet.

6But transgressors shall all of them be plucked up as thorns: which are not taken away with hands.Ma i prevaricatori saranno estirpati tutti, come le spine, le quali non si spiantano colle mani.And transgressors shal be plucl•ed vp as thornes euety one: which are not taken with handes.Prævaricatores autem quasi spinæ evellentur universi, / quæ non tolluntur manibus. 7And if a man will touch them, he must be armed with iron and with the staff of a lance: but they shall be set on fire and burnt to nothing.Ma se alcuno vuol toccarle, si arma di ferro, o di un'asta di lancia, e si gettano al fuoco, e si riducono in niente coll'abbruciarle.And if a man wil touch them, he shal be armed with yron and a lance staffe, and kindled with fyre they shal be burnt vnto nothing.Et si quis tangere voluerit eas, / armabitur ferro et ligno lanceato, / igneque succensæ comburentur usque ad nihilum. 8These are the names of the valiant men of David: Jesbaham sitting in the chair was the wisest chief among the three, he was like the most tender little worm of the wood, who killed eight hundred men at one onset.Questi sono i nomi dei campioni di David: Colui, che siede in cattedra sapientissimo principe tra i tre: egli è come quel delicatissimo vermicciuolo, che rode il legno, ed egli uccise ottocento persone in un conflitto.These be the names of the valiantes of Dauid. Sitting in his chaire the wisest prince amongest three, he is as it were the most tender litle worme of the wood, which killed eight hundred at one brunt.Hæc nomina fortium David. Sedens in cathedra sapientissimus princeps inter tres, ipse est quasi tenerrimus ligni vermiculus, qui octingentos interfecit impetu uno. 9After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three valiant men that were with David when they defied the Philistines, and they were there gathered together to battle.Appresso a questo Eleazaro Ahoite figliuolo dello zio paterno di lui fu dei tre campioni, che erano con Davidde, allorché i Filistei lo insultavano, essendo raunati colà per combattere.After him, Eleazar the sonne of his vncle the Ahohite among the three valiantes, that were with Dauid when they desyed the Philisthijms, and were gathered thither into barrel.Post hunc, Eleazar filius patrui ejus Ahohites inter tres fortes, qui erant cum David quando exprobraverunt Philisthiim, et congregati sunt illuc in prælium. 10And when the men of Israel were gone away, he stood and smote the Philistines till his hand was weary, and grew stiff with the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day: and the people that were fled away, returned to take spoils of them that were slain.E fuggendo gl'Israeliti, Eleazaro tenne fermo, e percosse i Filistei, sino a tanto che spossato il suo braccio s'irrigidì tenendo la spada. E il Signore concedè una vittoria grande in quel giorno: e il popolo, che era fuggito, tornò a spogliare gli uccisi.And when the men of Israel were gone vp, he stood and stroke the Philistians til his hand faynted, and waxed stiffe with the sword: and our Lord made a great victorie that day: and the people, that was sled, returned to take away of the spoyles of them that were slayne.Cumque ascendissent viri Israël, ipse stetit et percussit Philisthæos donec deficeret manus ejus, et obrigesceret cum gladio: fecitque Dominus salutem magnam in die illa: et populus qui fugerat, reversus est ad cæsorum spolia detrahenda.

11And after him was Semma the son of Age of Arari. And the Philistines were gathered together in a troop: for there was a field full of lentils. And when the people were fled from the face of the Philistines,E dopo di lui Semma figliuolo di Age di Arari: e si raunarono i Filistei in un sito, onde era un campo pieno di lenti. E il popolo avendo presa la fuga, e volte le spalle a' Filistei,And after him Semma the sonne of Age of Arari. And the Philisthijms were gathered togehter in their ward: for there was there a filde ful of rice. And when the people was fled from the face of the Philisthijms,Et post hunc, Semma filius Age de Arari. Et congregati sunt Philisthiim in statione: erat quippe ibi ager lente plenus. Cumque fugisset populus a facie Philisthiim, 12He stood in the midst of the field, and defended it, and defeated the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great victory.Si piantò egli nel mezzo del campo, e lo difese, e sbaragliò i Filistei: e il Signore diegli vittoria grande.he stood in the middes of the filde, and defended it, and stroke the Philisthians: and our Lord gaue great saluation.stetit ille in medio agri, et tuitus est eum, percussitque Philisthæos: et fecit Dominus salutem magnam. 13Moreover also before this the three who were princes among the thirty, went down and came to David in the harvest time into the cave of Odollam: and the camp of the Philistines was in the valley of the giants.E qualche tempo prima i tre, che erano i primi de' trenta, erano andati a trovar Davidde nella spelonca di Odollam al tempo della mietitura: e il campo de' Filistei era nella valle de' giganti.Moreouer also before there went downe three which were princes among thirtie, and came to Dauid in the haruest time into the caue of Odollam: and the campe of the Philistianes was placed in the Vale of the giantes.Necnon et ante descenderant tres qui erant principes inter triginta, et venerant tempore messis ad David in speluncam Odollam: castra autem Philisthinorum erant posita in Valle gigantum. 14And David was then in a hold: and there was a garrison of the Philistines then in Bethlehem.E Davidde stava in un sito forte: e i Filistei avean messo presidio in Bethelehem.And Dauid was in a hold: moreouer the ward of the Philisthianes was then in Bethlehem.Et David erat in præsidio: porro statio Philisthinorum tunc erat in Bethlehem. 15And David longed, and said: O that some man would get me a drink of the water out of the cistern, that is in Bethlehem, by the gate.Ora David con gran bramosia disse: O se alcuno mi desse da bere dell'acqua di quella cisterna, che è in Bethlehem vicino alla porta!Dauid therfore desyred, & sayd: O that some man would geue me drinke of the water out of the cesterne, that is in Bethlehem beside the gate.Desideravit ergo David, et ait: O si quis mihi daret potum aquæ de cisterna quæ est in Bethlehem juxta portam !

16And the three valiant men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David: but he would not drink, but offered it to the Lord,Quei tre campioni allora passarono pel campo dei Filistei, e attinsero l'acqua dalla cisterna di Bethlehem che era vicino alla porta, e la recarono a David: ma egli non ne volle bere, ma ne fece libagione al Signore.Three valiantes therfore brake into the campe of the Philistianes, and drew water out of the cesterne of Bethlehem, that was beside the gate, and brought it to Dauid: but he would not drinke, but offered it to our Lord,Irruperunt ergo tres fortes castra Philisthinorum, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quæ erat juxta portam, et attulerunt ad David: at ille noluit bibere, sed libavit eam Domino, 17Saying: The Lord be merciful to me, that I may not do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went, and the peril of their lives? therefore he would not drink. These things did these three mighty men.Dicendo: Guardimi il Signore dal fare tal cosa: beverò io il sangue di questi uomini, che sono andati a porre a risico la lor vita? Egli adunque non ne volle bere. Tanto fecero questi uomini fortissimi.saying: Our Lord be merciful to me, that I doe not this thing: shal I drinke the bloud of these men that went, & the peril of their liues? Therfore he would not drinke. These thinges did the three strongest.dicens: Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne faciam hoc: num sanguinem hominum istorum qui profecti sunt, et animarum periculum bibam ? Noluit ergo bibere. Hæc fecerunt tres robustissimi. 18Abisai also the brother of Joab, the son of Sarvia, was chief among three: and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three,Abisai ancora fratello di Gioab, figliuolo di Sarvia, era il primo di tre; egli imbrandì la lancia contro trecento uomini, e gli uccise: egli era famoso tra i tre.Abisai also the brother of Ioab the sonne of Saruia, was prince of three, it is he that lifted vp his speare agaynst three hundred, whom he slewe, renowmed among three,Abisai quoque frater Joab filius Sarviæ, princeps erat de tribus: ipse est qui levavit hastam suam contra trecentos, quos interfecit: nominatus in tribus, 19And the noblest of three, and was their chief, but to the three first he attained not.E il più riputato tra questi tre, ed era loro capo: ma non aggiunse a quei tre primi.and the noblest of three, and he was the chiefe of them, but to the three first he raught not.et inter tres nobilior, eratque eorum princeps, sed usque ad tres primos non pervenerat.

20And Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of great deeds, of Cabseel: he slew the two lions of Moab, and he went down, and slew a lion in the midst of a pit, in the time of snow.E Banaia di Cabseel, figliuolo di Jojada, uomo fortissimo, e di fatti grandi: egli uccise i due lioni di Moab, e affrontò, e uccise un lione in una cisterna nel tempo di una nevata.And Banaias the sonne of Ioiada the most valiant man of great workes, of Cabseel: he stroke the two lions of Moab, and he went downe, and stroke the lyon in the middes of the cesterne in the dayes of snow.Et Banaias filius Jojadæ viri fortissimi, magnorum operum, de Cabseel. Ipse percussit duos leones Moab, et ipse descendit, et percussit leonem in media cisterna in diebus nivis. 21He also slew an Egyptian, a man worthy to be a sight, having a spear in his hand: but he went down to him with a rod, and forced the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear.Egli parimente uccise un Egiziano, uomo da farsi vedere come un prodigio, il quale avea in mano la lancia: e quegli andatogli incontro col suo bastone, strappò a forza la lancia di mano all'Egiziano, e colla sua propria lancia lo uccise.He also stroke the Aegyptian, a man worthie to be a spectacle, hauing in his hand a speare: therfore when he came downe to him with a rod, by force he wrested the speare out of the hand of the Aegyptian, and slewe him with his owne speare.Ipse quoque interfecit virum ægyptium, virum dignum spectaculo, habentem in manu hastam: itaque cum descendisset ad eum in virga, vi extorsit hastam de manu Ægyptii, et interfecit eum hasta sua. 22These things did Banaias the son of Joiada.Tanto operò Banaia figliuolo di Jojada.These thinges did Banaias the sonne of Ioiada.Hæc fecit Banaias filius Jojadæ. 23And he was renowned among the three valiant men, who were the most honourable among the thirty: but he attained not to the first three: and David made him of his privy council.Ed egli era famoso tra' tre, che erano i più illustri de' trenta: ma non giunse al segno di quei tre. E Davidde lo fece suo consigliere, e segretario.And he renowmed among the three valiantes, which were the nobler among thirtie: but vnto the three he raught not: and Dauid made him of his secrete counsel.Et ipse nominatus inter tres robustos, qui erant inter triginta nobiliores: verumtamen usque ad tres non pervenerat: fecitque eum sibi David auricularium, a secreto. 24Asael the brother of Joab was one of the thirty, Elehanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem.Tra i trenta (erano) Asael fratello di Gioab, Elchanan di Bethlehem, figliuolo di un zio paterno di Asael.Asael the brother of Ioab among the thirtie, Elahanan the sonne of his vncle of Bethlehem.Asaël frater Joab inter triginta, Elehanan filius patrui ejus de Bethlehem,
