1 — 3 Kings (1 Kings)

1Now king David was old, and advanced in years: and when he was covered with clothes he was not warm.Il re David era vecchio, e di età avanzata: e per quanto si coprisse, non potea riscaldarsi.AND king Dauid was old, and had manie daies of age: and when he was couered with clothes, he was not warmed.Et rex David senuerat, habebatque ætatis plurimos dies: cumque operiretur vestibus, non calefiebat. 2His servants therefore, said to him: Let us seek for our lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom and warm our lord the king.Gli dissero pertanto i suoi servi: Si cerchi pel re signor nostro una vergine giovinetta, la quale si stia col re, e lo riscaldi, e dorma con lui, e renda il calore al re signor nostro.His seruantes therfore sayd to him: Let vs seeke for our lord the king a yong woman a virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherishe him, and sleepe in his bosome, and warme our lord the king.Dixerunt ergo ei servi sui: Quæramus domino nostro regi adolescentulam virginem, et stet coram rege, et foveat eum, dormiatque in sinu suo, et calefaciat dominum nostrum regem. 3So they sought a beautiful young woman, in all the coasts of Israel and they found Abisag, a Sunamitess, and brought her to the king.Cercarono adunque in tutto il paese d'Israele una fanciulla avvenente, e trovarono Abisag di Sunam, e la menarono al re.They sought therfore a beautiful yong woman in al the costes of Israel, and they found Abisag a Sunamite, and brought her to the king.Quæsierunt igitur adolescentulam speciosam in omnibus finibus Israël, et invenerunt Abisag Sunamitidem, et adduxerunt eam ad regem. 4And the damsel was exceedingly beautiful, and she slept with the king, and served him, but the king did not know her.E la fanciulla era bella oltre modo, e dormiva col re, e lo serviva; ma il re nolla conobbe.And the damsel was exceding beautiful, and she slept with the king, and serued him, but the king did not know her.Erat autem puella pulchra nimis, dormiebatque cum rege, et ministrabat ei: rex vero non cognovit eam. 5And Adonias, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying: I will be king. And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.Ma Adonia figliuolo di Haggith era montato in superbia, e diceva: Io sarò re. E avea de' cocchi, e de' soldati a cavallo, e cinquanta uomini per sua scorta.And Adonias the sonne of Haggith was eleuated, saying: I wil reigne. And he made him self chariotes and horsemen, and fiftie men, that should runne before him.Adonias autem filius Haggith elevabatur, dicens: Ego regnabo. Fecitque sibi currus et equites, et quinquaginta viros qui currerent ante eum.

6Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom.E il padre suo noi riprese giammai, nè disse: Perchè fai tu questo? Or Adonia era anch'egli bello assai, e fratello secondogenito di Assalonne.Neither did his father controwle him at any time, saying: Why didst thou this? And he also was very beautiful, the second borne after Absalom.Nec corripuit eum pater suus aliquando, dicens: Quare hoc fecisti ? Erat autem et ipse pulcher valde, secundus natu post Absalom. 7And he conferred with Joab, the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar, the priest, who furthered Adonias’s side.Ed egli se la intendeva con Gioab figliuolo di Sarvia, e con Abiathar sommo Sacerdote, i quali favorivano il suo partito.And he had talke with Ioab the sonne of Saruia, & with Abiathar the priest, who furthered Adonias side.Et sermo ei cum Joab filio Sarviæ, et cum Abiathar sacerdote, qui adjuvabant partes Adoniæ. 8But Sadoc, the priest, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Semei, and Rei, and the strength of David’s army, was not with Adonias.Ma il sommo Sacerdote Sadoc, e Banaia figliuolo di Joiada, e Nathan profeta, e Semei, e Rei, e il nerbo elle milizie di Davidde non erano per Adonia.But Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the sonne of Ioiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Rei, and the strength of Dauids armie was not with Adonias.Sadoc vero sacerdos, et Banaias filius Jojadæ, et Nathan propheta, et Semei et Rei, et robur exercitus David, non erat cum Adonia. 9And Adonias having slain rams and calves, and all fat cattle, by the stone of Zoheleth, which was near the fountain Rogel, invited all his brethren, the king’s sons, and all the men of Juda, the king’s servants:Adonia adunque avendo immolati degli arieti, e de' vitelli, e grosse vittime d'ogni sorta vicino al masso di Zoheleth, che era dappresso alla fontana di Rogel, invitò tutti i suoi fratelli figliuoli del re, e tutti gli uomini di Giuda servi del re.Adonias therfore hauing immolated rammes and calues, and al satte beastes beside the Stone zoheleth, which was nigh to the Fountaine Rogel, called al his brethren the sonnes of the king, and al the men of Iuda the seruantes of the king:Immolatis ergo Adonias arietibus et vitulis, et universis pinguibus, juxta lapidem Zoheleth, qui erat vicinus fonti Rogel, vocavit universos fratres suos filios regis, et omnes viros Juda servos regis. 10But Nathan, the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon, his brother, he invited not.Ma non invitò Nathan profeta, nè Banaia, nè i più valorosi soldati, nè Salomone suo fratello.But Nathan the prophet, and Banaias, and al the strong ones, and Salomon his brother he called not.Nathan autem prophetam, et Banaiam, et robustos quosque, et Salomonem fratrem suum non vocavit.

11And Nathan said to Bethsabee, the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias, the son of Haggith, reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not?Or il profeta Nathan disse a Bethsabea madre di Salomone: Non hai tu sentito dire, che regna già Adonia figliuolo di Haggith, e il signor nostro Davidde lo ignora?Nathan therfore sayd to Bethsabee the mother of Salomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias the sonne of Haggith hath reigned, and our lord Dauid is ignorant therof?Dixit itaque Nathan ad Bethsabee matrem Salomonis: Num audisti quod regnaverit Adonias filius Haggith, et dominus noster David hoc ignorat ? 12Now then, come, take my counsel, and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.Ora adunque vieni, lasciati consigliare da me, e salva la vita tua, e quella di Salomone tuo figliuolo.Now therfore come, take counsel of me, and saue thy life, and thy sonne Salomons.Nunc ergo veni, accipe consilium a me, et salva animam tuam, filiique tui Salomonis. 13Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to me, thy handmaid, saying: Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign?Va, e presentati al re Davidde, e digli: Non è egli vero, o re signor mio, che tu facesti giuramento alla tua serva, e dicesti: Salomone tuo figliuolo regnerà dopo di me, ed egli sederà sul mio trono? perchè adunque regna Adonia?Goe, and enter in to king Dauid, and say to him: Didst not thou my lord king sweare to me thy handmayd, saying: Salomon thy sonne shal reigne after me, and he shal sitte in my throne? Why then reigneth Adonias?Vade, et ingredere ad regem David, et dic ei: Nonne tu, domine mi rex, jurasti mihi ancillæ tuæ, dicens: Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit in solio meo ? quare ergo regnat Adonias ? 14And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words.E tu non avrai finito di dir queste cose al re, quand'io sopraggiungerò, e confermerò il tuo dire.And whiles thou art yet speaking there with the king, I wil come after thee, and make vp thy wordes.Et adhuc ibi te loquente cum rege, ego veniam post te, et complebo sermones tuos. 15So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber. Now the king was very old, and Abisag, the Sunamitess, ministered to him.Entrò adunque Bethsabea nella camera del re: or il re era vecchio assai e Abisag Sunamite lo serviva.Bethsabee therfore went in to the king in the chamber: and the king was exceding old, and Abisag the Sunamite ministred to him.Ingressa est itaque Bethsabee ad regem in cubiculum: rex autem senuerat nimis, et Abisag Sunamitis ministrabat ei.

16Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will?Bethsabea s'inchinò, e adorò il re. E il re le disse: Che domandi tu?Bethsabee bowed her self, and adored the king. To whom the king sayd: What is thy wil? quoth he.Inclinavit se Bethsabee, et adoravit regem. Ad quam rex: Quid tibi, inquit, vis ? 17She answered, and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid, by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.Ed ella rispose, e disse: Signor mio, tu giurasti alla tua serva pel Signor Dio tuo, che Salomone mio figliuolo regnerebbe dopo di te, e sederebbe nel tuo trono.Who answering sayd: My lord, thou didst sweare to thy handmayd by our Lord thy God, that Salomon thy sonne shal reigne after me, and he shal sitte in my throne.Quæ respondens, ait: Domine mi, tu jurasti per Dominum Deum tuum ancillæ tuæ: Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit in solio meo. 18And behold, now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it.Ed ecco, che a quest'ora regna Adonia, senza che lo sappi tu, o re signor mio.And behold now Adonias reigneth, thou my lord the king not knowing therof.Et ecce nunc Adonias regnat, te, domine mi rex, ignorante. 19He hath killed oxen, and all fat cattle, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the general of the army: but Solomon, thy servant, he invited not.Egli ha immolati de' bovi; e delle grasse vittime, e degli arieti in gran numero, e ha invitati tutti i figliuoli del re, e anche Abiathar sommo Sacerdote, e Gioab capo dell'esercito: ma non ha invitato Salomone tuo servo.He hath killed oxen, & al fatte thinges, and manie rammes, and called al the kinges sonnes, Abiathar also the priest, and Ioab the General of the warfarre: but Salomon thy seruant he called not.Mactavit boves, et pinguia quæque, et arietes plurimos, et vocavit omnes filios regis, Abiathar quoque sacerdotem, et Joab principem militiæ: Salomonem autem servum tuum non vocavit. 20And now, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldst tell them, who shall sit on thy throne, my lord the king, after thee.Frattanto, o re signor mio, gli occhi di tutto Israele son rivolti verso di te, affinchè tu dichiari chi debba seder sul tuo trono dopo di te, o re signor mio.Notwithstanding my lord king, the eyes of al Israel looke vpon thee, that thou wouldest shew them, who shal sitte in thy throne my lord king after thee.Verumtamen, domine mi rex, in te oculi respiciunt totius Israël, ut indices eis quis sedere debeat in solio tuo, domine mi rex, post te.

21Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I, and my son, Solomon, shall be accounted offenders.E avverrà, che quando il re signor mio si sarà addormentato co' padri suoi, saremo io, e il mio figliuolo Salomone, quai peccatori.And it shal be when my lord king sleepeth with his fathers, I and my sonne Salomon shal be sinners.Eritque, cum dormierit dominus meus rex cum patribus suis, erimus ego et filius meus Salomon peccatores. 22As she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, came.E mentre ella parlava tutt'ora al re, giunse Nathan profeta.As she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came.Adhuc illa loquente cum rege, Nathan propheta venit. 23And they told the king, saying: Nathan, the prophet, is here. And when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground,E fu detto al re: E qui il profeta Nathan. E quand'egli fu entrato al cospetto del re, e lo ebbe adorato chinandosi fino a terra,And they told the king, saying: Nathan the prophete is here. And when he was gone in to the king, and had adored bowing to the earth,Et nuntiaverunt regi, dicentes: Adest Nathan propheta. Cumque introisset in conspectu regis, et adorasset eum pronus in terram, 24Nathan said: My lord, O king, hast thou said: Let Adonias reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?Disse Nathan: Signor mio re, hai tu forse detto: Regni Adonia dopo di me, ed egli segga sopra il mio trono?Nathan sayd: My lord king, didst thou say: Let Adonias reigne after me, and let him sitte vpon my throne?dixit Nathan: Domine mi rex, tu dixisti: Adonias regnet post me, et ipse sedeat super thronum meum ? 25Because he is gone down to day, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias:Perocché egli è andato oggi ad immolare de' bovi, e delle grasse vittime, e degli arieti in gran numero, e ha invitati tutti i figliuoli del re, e i capi dell'esercito, e Abiathar sommo Sacerdote: e questi mangiando, e bevendo con lui, hanno detto: Viva il re Adonia:Because he is gone downe to day, and hath immolated oxen, and fattelinges, and manie rammes, and called al the kinges sonnes, and the captaynes of the armie, Abiathar also the priest: and they eating and drinking before him, and saying: God saue the king Adonias:Quia descendit hodie, et immolavit boves, et pinguia, et arietes plurimos, et vocavit universos filios regis et principes exercitus, Abiathar quoque sacerdotem, illisque vescentibus et bibentibus coram eo, et dicentibus: Vivat rex Adonias:

26But me, thy servant, and Sadoc, the priest, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and Solomon, thy servant, he hath not invited.Egli non ha invitato me tuo servo, nè il sommo Sacerdote Sadoc, nè Banaia figliuolo di Joiada, nè Salomone tuo servo.me thy seruant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the sonne of Ioiada, and Salomon thy seruant he called not.me servum tuum, et Sadoc sacerdotem, et Banaiam filium Jojadæ, et Salomonem famulum tuum non vocavit. 27Is this word come out from my lord the king, and hast thou not told me, thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?E egli stato dato dal re mio signore un simil comando, e non hai tu dichiarato a me tuo servo chi fosse quegli, che dovea sedere sul trono del re mio signore dopo di lui?Is this word proceded from my lord the king, and hast thou not told me thy seruant who should sitte vpon the throne of my lord the king after him?Numquid a domino meo rege exivit hoc verbum, et mihi non indicasti servo tuo quis sessurus esset super thronum domini mei regis post eum ? 28And king David answered, and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him,Ma il re Davidde rispose, e disse: Chiamatemi Bethsabea. Ed essendo ella venuta dinanzi al re, e stando in sua presenza,And king Dauid answered, saying: Cal vnto me Bethsabee. Who when she was entered in to the king, and stood before him,Et respondit rex David, dicens: Vocate ad me Bethsabee. Quæ cum fuisset ingressa coram rege, et stetisset ante eum, 29The king swore, and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,Il re giurò, e disse: Viva il Signore, il quale liberò l'anima mia da ogni travaglio,the king sware, and sayd: Our Lord liueth, which hath deliuered my soule from al distresse,juravit rex, et ait: Vivit Dominus, qui eruit animam meam de omni angustia, 30Even as I swore to thee, by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.Come io giurai a te pel Signore Dio d'Israele, e dissi: Salomone tuo figlio regnerà dopo di me, e sederà sul mio trono in mia vece; così oggi io farò.that as I sware to thee by our Lord the God of Israel, saying: Salomon thy sonne shal reigne after me, and he shal sitte vpon my throne for me, so wil I doe this day.quia sicut juravi tibi per Dominum Deum Israël, dicens: Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit super solium meum pro me: sic faciam hodie. 31And Bethsabee, bowing with her face to the earth, worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever.E Bethsabea, chinata la faccia sino a terra, adorò il re, e disse: Viva il signor mio Davidde in eterno.And Bethsabee bowing her contenance vnto the earth adored the king, saying: God saue my lord for euer.Summissoque Bethsabee in terram vultu, adoravit regem, dicens: Vivat dominus meus David in æternum.

32King David also said: Call me Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Banaias, the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king,Disse poi il re Davidde: Chiamatemi Sadoc sommo Sacerdote, e Nathan profeta, e Banaia figliuolo di Joiada. Ed essendo questi venuti al cospetto del re,King Dauid also said: Cal me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, & Banaias the sonne of Ioiada. Who when they were entred in before the king,Dixit quoque rex David: Vocate mihi Sadoc sacerdotem, et Nathan prophetam, et Banaiam filium Jojadæ. Qui cum ingressi fuissent coram rege, 33He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon:Disse loro: Prendete con voi i servi miei, e mettete Salomone mio figliuolo a cavallo sopra la mia mula, e conducetelo a Gihon.he said to them: Take with you the seruantes of your lord, and sette Salomon my sonne vpon my mule: and bring him into Gihon.dixit ad eos: Tollite vobiscum servos domini vestri, et imponite Salomonem filium meum super mulam meam, et ducite eum in Gihon. 34And let Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him there king over Israel: and you shall sound the trumpet, and shall say: God save king Solomon.E ivi lo ungano Sadoc sommo Sacerdote, e Nathan profeta in re d'Israele: e sonerete la tromba, e direte: Viva il re Salomone:And let Sadoc the priest anoint him there, and Nathan the prophet to be king ouer Israel: and you shal sound the trumpet, and shal say: God saue king Salomon.Et ungat eum ibi Sadoc sacerdos et Nathan propheta in regem super Israël: et canetis buccina, atque dicetis: Vivat rex Salomon. 35And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda.E tornerete dietro a lui, ed egli verrà a porsi a sedere sul mio trono, e regnerà in mia vece: e io gli comanderò di reggere Israele, e Giuda.And you shal goe vp after him, and he shal come, and shal sitte vpon my throne, and he shal reigne for me: and I wil ordaine him that he be prince ouer Israel, and ouer Iuda.Et ascendetis post eum, et veniet, et sedebit super solium meum, et ipse regnabit pro me: illique præcipiam ut sit dux super Israël et super Judam. 36And Banaias, the son of Joiada, answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord, the God of my lord the king.E Banaia figliuolo di Joiada rispose al re, e disse: Così sia: sia questa parola del Signore Dio del re mio padrone.And Banaias the sonne of Ioiada answered the king, saying: Amen: so speake our Lord the God of my lord the king.Et respondit Banaias filius Jojadæ regi, dicens: Amen: sic loquatur Dominus Deus domini mei regis.

37As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, so be he with Solomon, and make his throne higher than the throne of my lord king David.Come il Signore fa col re mio padrone, così sia egli con Salomone, e innalzi il suo trono anche al di sopra del trono del re mio signore Davidde.As our Lord hath beene with my lord the king, so be he with Salomon, and make his throne higher then the throne of my lord king Dauid.Quomodo fuit Dominus cum domino meo rege, sic sit cum Salomone, et sublimius faciat solium ejus a solio domini mei regis David. 38So Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, went down, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi: and they set Solomon upon the mule of king David, and brought him to Gihon.Andarono adunque Sadoc Sacerdote, e Nathan profeta, e Banaia figliuolo di Joiada, e i Cerethei, e i Phelethei, e misero Salomone sulla mula del re Davidde, e lo menarono a Gihon.Sadoc therfore the priest, and Nathan the prophet went downe, and Banaias the sonne of Ioiada, and Cherethi, and Phelethi: and they set Salomon vpon the mule of king Dauid, and brought him into Gihon.Descendit ergo Sadoc sacerdos, et Nathan propheta, et Banaias filius Jojadæ, et Cerethi, et Phelethi: et imposuerunt Salomonem super mulam regis David, et adduxerunt eum in Gihon. 39And Sadoc, the priest, took a horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and all the people said: God save king Solomon.E il Sacerdote Sadoc prese il corno dell'olio dal tabernacolo, e unse Salomone; e sonaron la tromba, e tutto il popolo disse: Viva il re Salomone.And Sadoc the priest tooke a horne of oile out of the tabernacle, and annointed Salomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and al the people said: God saue king Salomon.Sumpsitque Sadoc sacerdos cornu olei de tabernaculo, et unxit Salomonem: et cecinerunt buccina, et dixit omnis populus: Vivat rex Salomon. 40And all the multitude went up after him, and the people played with pipes, and rejoiced with a great joy, and the earth rang with the noise of their cry.E tutta la moltitudine andogli dietro, e una gran turba sonava de' flauti, e facevano festa grande, e la terra rimbombava dalle loro acclamazioni.And al the multitude went vp after him, and the people singing on shaulmes, and reioysing with great gladnes, and the earth sounded of their crie.Et ascendit universa multitudo post eum, et populus canentium tibiis, et lætantium gaudio magno: et insonuit terra a clamore eorum. 41And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end. Joab also, hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar?E ne punse il rumore ad Adonia, e a tutti i suoi convitati, e già era finito il banchetto; e Gioab avendo sentito il suon della tromba, disse: Che vuol dire lo strepito della città, che è in tumulto?And Adonias heard, and al that were inuited of him, and the feast was ended: yea and Ioab hearing the voice of the trumpet, said: What meaneth the crie of the citie making a tumult?Audivit autem Adonias, et omnes qui invitati fuerant ab eo: jamque convivium finitum erat: sed et Joab, audita voce tubæ, ait: Quid sibi vult clamor civitatis tumultuantis ?

42While he yet spoke, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, the priest, came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.Mentre egli così diceva arrivò Gionata figliuolo di Abiathar Sacerdote, e dissegli Adonia: Vieni, perocché tu se' uomo di valore, e che porta buone novelle.As he yet spake, came Ionathas the sonne of Abiathar the priest: to whom Adonias said: Come in, because thou art a stout man, and bringest good newes,Adhuc illo loquente, Jonathas filius Abiathar sacerdotis venit: cui dixit Adonias: Ingredere, quia vir fortis es, et bona nuntians. 43And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord, king David, hath appointed Solomon king;No (rispose Gionata ad Adonia) perocchè il re David nostro signore ha dichiarato re Salomone:And Ionathas answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord king Dauid hath appointed Salomon king.Responditque Jonathas Adoniæ: Nequaquam: dominus enim noster rex David regem constituit Salomonem: 44And hath sent with him Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and they have set him upon the king’s mule:E ha mandati con lui Sadoc Sacerdote, e Nathan profeta, e Banaia figliuolo di Joiada, e i Cerethei, e i Phelethei, e lo hanno messo sopra la mula del re.and hath sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophete, and Banaias the sonne of Ioiada, and Cerethi, and Phelethi, and they haue set him vpon the kinges mule.misitque cum eo Sadoc sacerdotem, et Nathan prophetam, et Banaiam filium Jojadæ, et Cerethi, et Phelethi, et imposuerunt eum super mulam regis. 45And Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard.E Sadoc Sacerdote, e Nathan profeta lo hanno unto in re a Gihon: e son partiti di là con allegria, onde la città romoreggia: questo è lo strepito udito da voi.And Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophete haue annointed him king in Gihon: & they are gone vp thence reioysing, and the citie sounded: this is the voice that you heard.Unxeruntque eum Sadoc sacerdos et Nathan propheta regem in Gihon: et ascenderunt inde lætantes, et insonuit civitas: hæc est vox quam audistis. 46Moreover, Solomon sitteth upon the throne of the kingdom.Anzi Salomone già sede sul trono del regno.Yea and Salomon sitteth vpon the throne of the kingdom.Sed et Salomon sedet super solium regni.

47And the king’s servants going in, have blessed our lord king David, saying: May God make the name of Solomon greater than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king adored in his bed:E i servi del re sono andati a rallegrarsi col re signor nostro David, dicendo: Ingrandisca Dio il nome di Salomone sopra lo stesso tuo nome, e innalzi il suo trono sopra lo stesso tuo trono. E il re ha adorato Dio nel suo letto:And the kinges seruantes entring in, haue blessed our lord king Dauid, saying: God amplify the name of Salomon aboue thy name, and magnifie his throne aboue thy throne. And the king adored in his bed:Et ingressi servi regis benedixerunt domino nostro regi David, dicentes: Amplificet Deus nomen Salomonis super nomen tuum, et magnificet thronus ejus super thronum tuum. Et adoravit rex in lectulo suo: 48And he said: Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it.E ha detto: Benedetto il Signore Dio d'Israele, il quale mi fa oggi vedere cogli occhi miei lui, che siede sopra il mio trono.and he hath thus spoken: Blessed be our Lord the God of Israel, who hath geuen this day one sitting in my throne, mine eies seing itet locutus est: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui dedit hodie sedentem in solio meo, videntibus oculis meis. 49Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose, and every man went his way.Quegli allora rimasero sbigottiti, e si alzarono tutti i convitati di Adonia, e se n'andarono ciascuno pe' fatti loro.They therfore were terrified, and they al arose, that had beene inuited of Adonias, and euery man went his way.Territi sunt ergo, et surrexerunt omnes qui invitati fuerant ab Adonia, et ivit unusquisque in viam suam. 50And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose and went, and took hold of the horn of the altar.Ma Adonia avendo paura di Salomone si partì, e andò a mettersi da un lato dell'altare.And Adonias fearing Salomon arose, and went, and held the horne of the altar.Adonias autem timens Salomonem, surrexit, et abiit, tenuitque cornu altaris. 51And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.E fa riferito a Salomone, e fugli detto: Sappi, che Adonia avendo paura del re Salomone si è attaccato al corno dell'altare, e dice: Salomone mi faccia oggi giuramento, che non farà morir di spada il suo servo.And they told Salomon saying: Behold Adonias fearing king Salomon, hath taken hold of the horne of the altar, saying: Let king Salomon sweare to me this day, that he wil not kil his seruant with the sword.Et nuntiaverunt Salomoni, dicentes: Ecce Adonias timens regem Salomonem, tenuit cornu altaris, dicens: Juret mihi rex Salomon hodie, quod non interficiat servum suum gladio.

52And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die.E Salomone disse: Se egli sarà uomo dabbene, non caderà in terra neppur uno de' suoi capelli: ma se cadrò in qualche fallo, ei morrà.And Salomon sayd: If he be a good man, there shal not so much as one heare of his fal vpon the ground but if euil shal be found in him, he shal die.Dixitque Salomon: Si fuerit vir bonus, non cadet ne unus quidem capillus ejus in terram: sin autem malum inventum fuerit in eo, morietur. 53Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in, he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house.Salomone adunque mandò gente, che lo condusser via dall'altare; ed egli presentatosi al re Salomone, lo adorò: e Salomone gli disse: Va a casa tua.King Salomon therfore sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in he adored king Salomon: and Salomon sayd to him: Goe to thy house.Misit ergo rex Salomon, et eduxit eum ab altari: et ingressus adoravit regem Salomonem: dixitque ei Salomon: Vade in domum tuam.
