13 — 3 Kings (1 Kings)

1And behold there came a man of God out of Juda, by the word of the Lord, to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing upon the altar, and burning incense.Quand'ecco, che un uomo di Dio si portò da Giuda a Bethel per ordine del Signore, mentre Geroboam stava all'altare, e vi gettava l'incenso.AND behold a man of God came out of Iuda, in the word of our Lord into Bethel, Ieroboam standing vpon the altar, and censing.Et ecce vir Dei venit de Juda in sermone Domini in Bethel, Jeroboam stante super altare, et thus jaciente. 2And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men’s bones upon thee.E a nome del Signore sclamò verso l'altare: Altare, altare, queste cose dice il Signore: Ecco, che nascerà alla famiglia di Davidde un figliuolo per nome Giosia, e questi immolerà sopra di te i sacerdoti de' luoghi eccelsi, i quali sopra di te bruciano adesso gl'incensi, ed ei farà bruciare sopra di te le ossa degli uomini;And he cried out against the altar in the word of our Lord, and sayd: Altar, altar, thus saith our Lord: Behold a child shal be borne to the house of Dauid, named Iosias, and he shal immolate vpon thee priestes of the excelses, which now doe burne frankencense on thee, and he shal burne mens bones vpon thee.Et exclamavit contra altare in sermone Domini, et ait: Altare, altare, hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce filius nascetur domui David, Josias nomine, et immolabit super te sacerdotes excelsorum, qui nunc in te thura succendunt: et ossa hominum super te incendet. 3And he gave a sign the same day, saying: This shall be the sign, that the Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it, shall be poured out.E ne diede allor questa prova, dicendo: Che il Signore sia quegli, che parla, da questo il vedrete; ecco, che l'altare si squarcerà, e la cenere, che vi è sopra, si spanderà.And he gaue a signe in that day, saying: This shal be the signe, that our Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shal be clouen, and the ashes shal be powred out in it.Deditque in illa die signum, dicens: Hoc erit signum quod locutus est Dominus: ecce altare scindetur, et effundetur cinis qui in eo est. 4And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him, withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him.Ma il re udite le parole dell'uomo di Dio, dette ad alta voce contro l'altare di Bethel, stese la mano sua dall'altare, dicendo: Prendete costui E la mano, ch'egli avea stesa contro di lui, si seccò, né potè egli ritrarla a se.And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Take him. And his hand withered, which he stretched forth agaynst him: neither was he able to draw it backe vnto him.Cumque audisset rex sermonem hominis Dei quem inclamaverat contra altare in Bethel, extendit manum suam de altari, dicens: Apprehendite eum. Et exaruit manus ejus quam extenderat contra eum, nec valuit retrahere eam ad se.

5The altar also was rent, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given before in the word of the Lord.E si spaccò ancora l'altare, e la cenere dell'altare si disperse; la qual cosa era stata predetta in prova dall'uomo di Dio a nome del Signore.The altar also was clouen, and the ashes were powred out of the altar, according to the signe which the man of God had told before in the word of our Lord.Altare quoque scissum est, et effusus est cinis de altari, juxta signum quod prædixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini. 6And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.E il re disse all'uomo di Dio: Prega il Signore Dio tuo, e fa orazione per me, affinchè siami renduta la mia mano. E l'uomo di Dio fece orazione al Signore, e il re riebbe la sua mano, la quale tornò qual era prima.And the king said to the man of God: Besech the face of our Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me. And the man of God besought the face of our Lord, and the kinges hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.Et ait rex ad virum Dei: Deprecare faciem Domini Dei tui, et ora pro me, ut restituatur manus mea mihi. Oravitque vir Dei faciem Domini, et reversa est manus regis ad eum, et facta est sicut prius fuerat. 7And the king said to the man of God: Come home with me to dine, and I will make thee presents.E il re disse all'uomo di Dio: Vieni meco a casa a desinare, e io ti regalerò.And the king spake to the man of God: Come home with me, that thou mayst dyne, and I wil geue the giftes.Locutus est autem rex ad virum Dei: Veni mecum domum ut prandeas, et dabo tibi munera. 8And the man of God answered the king: If thou wouldst give me half thy house, I will not go with thee, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place:Ma l'uomo di Dio rispose al re: Quando tu mi dessi la meta della tua casa, non verrò io con te, e non mangerò pane, né berò acqua in questo luogo:And the man of God answered the king: If thou wouldest geue me the halfe part of thy house, I wil not come with thee, nor eate bread, nor drinke water in this place:Responditque vir Dei ad regem: Si dederis mihi mediam partem domus tuæ, non veniam tecum, nec comedam panem, neque bibam aquam in loco isto: 9For so it was enjoined me by the word of the Lord commanding me: Thou shalt not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way that thou camest.Perocché tale è il comando fatto a me dal Signore, che mi ha spedito: Tu non mangerai pane, né berai acqua, e non tornerai per la strada, che farai all'andare.for so was it enioyned in the word of our Lord cōmanding: Thou shalt not eate bread nor drinke water, nor returne by the way that thou camest.sic enim mandatum est mihi in sermone Domini præcipientis: Non comedes panem, neque bibes aquam, nec reverteris per viam qua venisti.

10So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way that he came into Bethel.Egli adunque se n'andò per istrada diversa, e non tornò per quella, che avea fatta venendo a Bethel.He departed therfore by an other way, and returned not by the way, that the came into Bethel.Abiit ergo per aliam viam, et non est reversus per iter quo venerat in Bethel. 11Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him, and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.Or abitava a Bethel un vecchio profeta, i figliuoli del quale andarono a raccontargli tutto quello, che aveva in quel di fatto a Bethel l'uomo di Dio, e riferirono al padre loro le parole, che quegli avea dette al re.And a certaine prophete being old dwelt in Bethel, to whom his sonnes came and told him al the workes, that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and the wordes which he had spoken to the king, they told their father.Prophetes autem quidam senex habitabat in Bethel: ad quem venerunt filii sui, et narraverunt ei omnia opera quæ fecerat vir Dei illa die in Bethel: et verba quæ locutus fuerat ad regem, narraverunt patri suo. 12And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda.E il padre disse loro: Per qual parte se n'è egli andato? E i suoi figliuoli gli additaron la strada, per cui se n'era andato l'uomo di Dio venuto da Giuda.And their father sayd to them: What way went he? His sonnes she wed him the way, by which the man of God was gone, which came out of Iuda.Et dixit eis pater eorum: Per quam viam abiit ? Ostenderunt ei filii sui viam per quam abierat vir Dei, qui venerat de Juda. 13And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled it, he got up,Ed egli disse a' suoi figliuoli: Ammannitemi l'asino; e quando fu ammannito, vi sali sopra.And he said to his sonnes: Sadle me and asse. Who when they had sadled it, he got vp,Et ait filiis suis: Sternite mihi asinum. Qui cum stravissent, ascendit, 14And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God who camest from Juda? He answered: I am.E andò dietro all'uomo di Dio, e trovollo che sedeva sotto un terebinto, e dissegli: Se' tu l'uomo di Dio venuto da Giuda? Rispose quegli: Son io.and went after the man of God, and found him sitting vnder a rerebinth: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest out of Iuda? He answered: I am he.et abiit post virum Dei, et invenit eum sedentem subtus terebinthum: et ait illi: Tune es vir Dei qui venisti de Juda ? Respondit ille: Ego sum.

15And he said to him: Come home with me to eat bread.E quegli disse a lui: Vieni meco a casa a mangiar del pane.And he sayd to him: Come home with me, that thou mayst eate bread.Dixitque ad eum: Veni mecum domum, ut comedas panem. 16But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place:E quegli rispose: Non posso tornar indietro, né venir con te, e io non mangerò pane, né berò acqua in quel luogo:Who sayd: I can not returue, nor come with thee, neither will eate bread, nor drinke water in this place:Qui ait: Non possum reverti, neque venire tecum: nec comedam panem, neque bibam aquam in loco isto, 17Because the Lord spoke to me, in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest.Perocché il Signore mi ha parlato di sua propria bocca, e mi ha detto: Non mangerai colà pane, né berai acqua, e non tornerai per la strada, per cui sarai andato.because our Lord spake to me in the word of our Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eate bread, and thou shalt not drinke water there, nor returne by the way thou wentest.quia locutus est Dominus ad me in sermone Domini, dicens: Non comedes panem, et non bibes aquam ibi, nec reverteris per viam qua ieris. 18He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me, in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him,E quegli disse a lui: Io son profeta, come se' tu; e un Angelo ha parlato a me a nome del Signore, e mi ha detto: Rimenalo teco a casa tua, affinchè mangi del pane, e beva dell'acqua. Lo ingannò,Who sayd to him: I also am a prophet like to thee: and an Angel hath spoken to me in the word of our Lord, saying: Bring him backe with thee into thy house, that he may eate bread, and drinke water. He deceiued him,Qui ait illi: Et ego propheta sum similis tui: et angelus locutus est mihi in sermone Domini, dicens: Reduc eum tecum in domum tuam, ut comedat panem, et bibat aquam. Fefellit eum, 19And brought him back with him: so he ate bread, and drank water in his house.E lo ricondusse seco: ed egli mangiò del pane in casa di lui, e bevve dell'acqua.and brought him backe with him: he did eate therfore bread in his house, and drunke water.et reduxit secum: comedit ergo panem in domo ejus, et bibit aquam. 20And as they sat at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back:E mentre ei sedevano a mensa, il Signore parlò al profeta, che avea fatto tornare indietro l'altro.And when they sate at the table, the word, of our Lord came to the prophete, that brought him backe.Cumque sederent ad mensam, factus est sermo Domini ad prophetam qui reduxerat eum.

21And he cried out to the man of God who came out of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast not been obedient to the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,Ed egli sclamò, e disse all'uomo di Dio, venuto da Giuda: Queste cose dice il Signore: Perchè tu non hai ubbidito alla parola del Signore, e non hai adempito quello, che il Signore Dio tuo ti comandò,And he cried out to the man of God, which came out of Iuda, saying: Thus sayth our Lord: Because thou hast not beene obedient to the mouth of our Lord, and hast not kept the commandment, which our Lord thy God commanded thee,Et exclamavit ad virum Dei qui venerat de Juda, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus: Quia non obediens fuisti ori Domini, et non custodisti mandatum quod præcepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus, 22And hast returned, and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers.E se' tornato in dietro, ed hai mangiato del pane, e bevuto dell'acqua in un luogo, dov'io ti comandai di non mangiar pane, né bere acqua, il tuo cadavere non sarà portato nel sepolcro de' padri tuoi.and hast returned, and eaten bread, & drunke water in the place wherin he commanded thee that thou shouldest not eate bread, nor drinke water, thy dead bodie shal not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers.et reversus es, et comedisti panem, et bibisti aquam in loco in quo præcepit tibi ne comederes panem neque biberes aquam, non inferetur cadaver tuum in sepulchrum patrum tuorum. 23And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back.Or quando il profeta, che egli avea fatto tornar indietro ebbe mangiato, e bevuto, quegli ammannì per lui il suo asino.And when he had eaten & drunke, he sadled his asse for the prophet, whom he brought backe.Cumque comedisset et bibisset, stravit asinum suum prophetæ quem reduxerat. 24And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body.Ed essendo egli partito, un lione lo incontrò per istrada, e lo uccise, e il suo cadavere restò a giacer sulla strada, e l'asino stava presso di lui, e il lione presso al cadavere.Who when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his bodie was cast forth in the way: and the asse stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead bodie.Qui cum abiisset, invenit eum leo in via, et occidit, et erat cadaver ejus projectum in itinere: asinus autem stabat juxta illum, et leo stabat juxta cadaver.

25And behold, men passing by, saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt.Or avvenne, che dei passegeri osservarono il cadavere, che giaceva sulla strada, e il lione, che gli stava dappresso: e andarono, e divolgaron la cosa nella città, dove abitava quel vecchio profeta.And behold, men passing by saw the dead bodie cast in the way, and the lion standing beside the bodie. And they came and diuulged it in the citie, wherein that old prophet dwelt.Et ecce viri transeuntes viderunt cadaver projectum in via, et leonem stantem juxta cadaver. Et venerunt, et divulgaverunt in civitate in qua prophetes ille senex habitabat. 26And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.E quel profeta, che lo avea fatto tornar indietro, avendo udito tal cosa, disse: Egli è l'uomo di Dio, che è stato disubbidiente alla parola del Signore, e il Signore lo ha dato in balia di un leone, il quale lo ha lacerato, e ucciso secondo la parola detta a lui dal Signore.Which when that prophet heard, which had brought him backe out of the way, he sayd: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of our Lord, and our Lord hath deliuered him to the lion, & he hath torne him, and killed him according to the word of our Lord, that he spake to him.Quod cum audisset propheta ille qui reduxerat eum, ait: Vir Dei est, qui inobediens fuit ori Domini, et tradidit eum Dominus leoni, et confregit eum, et occidit juxta verbum Domini quod locutus est ei. 27And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it,E disse a' suoi figliuoli: Ammannitemi l'asino: e quando fu ammannito,And he sayd to hie sonnes: Sadle me an asse. Who when they had sadled,Dixitque ad filios suos: Sternite mihi asinum. Qui cum stravissent, 28And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass.Egli andò, e trovò il suo cadavere gettato sulla strada, e l'asino, e il lione, che stavan presso al cadavere: il lione non avea mangiato il cadavere, né fatto alcun male all'asino.and he was gone, he found his dead bodie cast forth in the way, and the asse and the lion standing by the corse: the lion did not eate of the dead bodie, nor hurt the asse.et ille abiisset, invenit cadaver ejus projectum in via, et asinum et leonem stantes juxta cadaver: non comedit leo de cadavere, nec læsit asinum.

29And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him.Il profeta vecchio pertanto prese il cadavere dell'uomo di Dio, e lo pose sull'asino, e tornando indietro lo portò alla sua città per piangerlo.The prophet therfore tooke the corse of the man of God, and layd it vpon the asse, and returning brought it into the citie of the old prophete, that they might mourne for him.Tulit ergo prophetes cadaver viri Dei, et posuit illud super asinum, et reversus intulit in civitatem prophetæ senis ut plangeret eum. 30And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas, my brother.E pose quel cadavere nella sua sepoltura, e lo piansero, dicendo: Ahi, ahi, fratel mio!And he layd his corse in his owne sepulchre: and they mourned for him: Alas, alas my brother.Et posuit cadaver ejus in sepulchro suo, et planxerunt eum: Heu, heu mi frater ! 31And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.E dopo che l'ebber pianto, diss'egli a' suoi figliuoli: quand'io sarò morto, seppellitemi nel sepolcro, in cui giace l'uomo di Dio: accanto alle ossa di lui ponete le ossa mie.And when they had mourned for him, he savd to his sonnes: When I shal be dead, burie me in the sepulchre, wherein the man of Ged is buried: beside his bones lay my bones.Cumque planxissent eum, dixit ad filios suos: Cum mortuus fuero, sepelite me in sepulchro in quo vir Dei sepultus est: juxta ossa ejus ponite ossa mea. 32For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord, against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria.Imperocché si verificherà certamente la parola predetta da lui a nome del Signore contro l'altare, che è a Bethel, e contro tutti gli adoratori de' luoghi eccelsi, che sono nelle città di Samaria.For assuredly the word shal come to passe, which he hath foretold in the word of our Lord agaynst the altar that is in Bethel: and agaynst al the temples of the excelses, that are in the cities of Samaria.Profecto enim veniet sermo quem prædixit in sermone Domini contra altare quod est in Bethel, et contra omnia fana excelsorum quæ sunt in urbibus Samariæ. 33After these words, Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary, he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places.Dopo tali cose Geroboam non si convertì dalla sua pessima vita, ma pel contrario creò sacerdoti de' luoghi eccelsi, uomini infimi del popolo; chiunque voleva, si consagrava, e diventava sacerdote de' luoghi eccelsi.After these wordes Ieroboam returned not from his wicked way: but on the contrarie part he made of the most abiect of the people priestes of the excelses: Whosoeuer would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the excelses.Post verba hæc non est reversus Jeroboam de via sua pessima, sed e contrario fecit de novissimis populi sacerdotes excelsorum: quicumque volebat, implebat manum suam, et fiebat sacerdos excelsorum.

34And for this cause did the house of Jeroboam sin, and was cut off, and destroyed from the face of the earth.Così la casa di Geroboam peccò, e fu distrutta, e sradicata dalla superficie della terra.And for this cause did the house of Ieroboam sinne, and was ouerthrowen, and destroyed from the face of the earth.Et propter hanc causam peccavit domus Jeroboam, et eversa est, et deleta de superficie terræ.
