19 — 3 Kings (1 Kings)

1And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.Or Achab raccontò a Jezabele tutto quello, che Elia avea fatto, e come avea uccisi di spada tutti i profeti.AND Achab told Iezabel al thinges that Elias had done, and how he had killed al the prophetes with the sword.Nuntiavit autem Achab Jezabel omnia quæ fecerat Elias, et quomodo occidisset universos prophetas gladio. 2And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour to morrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them.E Jezabele spedì un messo ad Elia, che gli dicesse: Gli dei facciano a me questo, e peggio, se domane a quest'ora io non farò a te, come è stato di ognun di quelli.And Iezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: These thinges do the goddes to me, and these adde they, if this houre to morow I make not thy soule as the soule of one of them.Misitque Jezabel nuntium ad Eliam, dicens: Hæc mihi faciant dii, et hæc addant, nisi hac hora cras posuero animam tuam sicut animam unius ex illis. 3Then Elias was afraid, and rising up, he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there,Elia pertanto ebbe paura, e si partì, e andava dove la fantasia il portava, e giunse a Bersabee di Giuda, e ivi licenziò il suo servo,Elias therfore was afraid, & rysing he went whither soeuer his wil caried him: and he came into Bersabee of Iuda, and leaft his seruant there,Timuit ergo Elias, et surgens abiit quocumque eum ferebat voluntas: venitque in Bersabee Juda, et dimisit ibi puerum suum, 4And he went forward, one day’s journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord; take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers.E s'inoltrò nel deserto, una giornata di cammino. Ed essendo andato a sedere sotto un giunipero, si desiderava la morte, e disse: Basta, o Signore, prendi l'anima mia; perocché non son io qualche cosa di meglio, che i padri miei.and went forward into the desert, one dayes iourney. And when he was come, and sate vnder a iuniper tree, he desired for his soule to die, and sayd: It sufficeth me Lord, take my soul: for I am not better then my fathers.et perrexit in desertum, viam unius diei. Cumque venisset, et sederet subter unam juniperum, petivit animæ suæ ut moreretur, et ait: Sufficit mihi, Domine: tolle animam meam: neque enim melior sum quam patres mei.

5And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat.E si gettò per terra, e si addormentò all'ombra del giunipero: quand'ecco, che l'Angelo del Signore il toccò, e gli disse: Alzati, e mangia.And he cast him self downe, and slept in the shadow of the iuniper tree: and behold an Angel of our Lord touched him, and sayd to him: Arise, and eate.Projecitque se, et obdormivit in umbra juniperi: et ecce angelus Domini tetigit eum, et dixit illi: Surge, et comede. 6He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again.Si volge egli indietro, e vede presso al suo capo un pane cotto sotto la cenere, e un vaso d'acqua. Egli adunque mangiò, e bevve, e di nuovo si addormentò.He looked, and behold at his head harthbaked bread, and a vessel of water: he therfore did eate, and drinke, and he slept againe.Respexit, et ecce ad caput suum subcinericius panis, et vas aquæ: comedit ergo, et bibit, et rursum obdormivit. 7And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go.E l'Angelo del Signore tornò la seconda volta, e lo toccò, e gli disse: Alzati, e mangia; perocché lunga è la strada, che ti rimane.And the Angel of our Lord returned the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eate: for thou hast yet a great way to goe.Reversusque est angelus Domini secundo, et tetigit eum, dixitque illi: Surge, comede: grandis enim tibi restat via. 8And he arose, and ate and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.Ed egli alzatosi mangiò, e bevve; e fortificato con quel cibo camminò quaranta dì, e quaranta notti, sino al monte di Dio Horeb.Who when he was risen: did eate and drinke, & walked in the strength of that meate fourtie daies, and fourtie nightes, vnto the mount of God, Horeb.Qui cum surrexisset, comedit et bibit, et ambulavit in fortitudine cibi illius quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus usque ad montem Dei Horeb. 9And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave: and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias?E giunto colà se ne stava in una spelonca, e tosto il Signore gli parlò, e gli disse: Che fai tu qui, o Elia?And when he was come thither, he taried in a caue: and behold the word of our Lord vnto him, & he said to him: What doest thou here Elias?Cumque venisset illuc, mansit in spelunca: et ecce sermo Domini ad eum, dixitque illi: Quid hic agis, Elia ?

10And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.E quegli rispose: Io ardo di zelo pel Signore Dio degli eserciti, perchè i figliuoli d'Israele hanno abbandonato il tuo patto, han distrutti i tuoi altari, hanno uccisi di spada i tuoi profeti; son rimaso sol io, e mi cercano, per tormi la vita.But he answered: With zele haue I beene zelous for our Lord the God of hostes because the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant: thy altars haue they destroyed, & thy prophetes they haue slaine with the sword, & I alone am leaft, & they seeke my life to take it away.At ille respondit: Zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum, quia dereliquerunt pactum tuum filii Israël: altaria tua destruxerunt, prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio, derelictus sum ego solus, et quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam. 11And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord, overthrowing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: but the Lord is not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: but the Lord is not in the earthquake.E (il Signore) gli disse: Esci fuora, e sta sul monte dinanzi al Signore: ed ecco, che passa il Signore: ma innanzi al Signore un vento grande, e gagliardo da sciorre i monti, e spezzar le pietre; e non col vento il Signore: e dopo il vento un tremuoto; non col tremuoto il Signore:And he said to him: Come forth, and stand in the mount before our Lord: and behold our Lord passeth, and a great winde, and strong ouerthrowing mountaynes and breaking rockes before our Lord: not in the winde is our Lord, and after the winde an earth quake: not in the earth quake is our Lord,Et ait ei: Egredere, et sta in monte coram Domino: et ecce Dominus transit. Et spiritus grandis et fortis subvertens montes, et conterens petras, ante Dominum: non in spiritu Dominus. Et post spiritum commotio: non in commotione Dominus. 12And after the earthquake, a fire: but the Lord is not in the fire. And after the fire, a whistling of a gentle air.E dopo il tremuoto un fuoco; non col fuoco il Signore: e dopo il fuoco, il fischio di un'aura leggera.and after the earth quake fire: not in the fire is our Lord, and after the fire a wistling of a gentle winde.Et post commotionem ignis: non in igne Dominus. Et post ignem sibilus auræ tenuis. 13And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth, stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered:Ciò avendo udito Elia, si coperse il volto col mantello, e uscito fuora si stava alla porta della spelonca, ed ecco una voce: che disse a lui: Che fai tu qui, o Elia? Ed ei rispose:Which when Elias had heard, he couered his face with his mantel, and coming forth stood in the doore of the caue, and behold a voyce vnto him, saying: What doest thou here Elias?Quod cum audisset Elias, operuit vultum suum pallio, et egressus stetit in ostio speluncæ. Et ecce vox ad eum dicens: Quid hic agis, Elia ? Et ille respondit:

14With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.Io ardo di zelo pel Signore Dio degli eserciti, perchè i figliuoli d'Israele hanno abbandonato il tuo patto, distrutti i tuoi altari, hanno uccisi di spada i tuoi profeti, son rimaso sol io, e mi cercano, per tormi la vita.And he answered: With zele haue I beene zelous for our Lord the God of hostes: because the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant: thyn altars they haue destroyed, and thy prophetes they haue slaine with the sword, and I alone am leaft, and they seeke my life to take it away.Zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum, quia dereliquerunt pactum tuum filii Israël: altaria tua destruxerunt, prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio, derelictus sum ego solus, et quærunt animam meam ut auferant eam. 15And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way, through the desert, to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;E il Signore disse a lui: Va, e torna indietro per la tua strada stessa del deserto verso Damasco; e quando sarai giunto colà, ungerai Hazael in re della Siria,And our Lord sayd to him: Goe, and returne into thy way by the desert of Damiascus: and when thou art come thither thou shalt anoint Hazael king ouer Syria,Et ait Dominus ad eum: Vade, et revertere in viam tuam per desertum in Damascum: cumque perveneris illuc, unges Hazaël regem super Syriam, 16And thou shalt anoint Jehu, the son of Namsi, to be king over Israel: and Eliseus, the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room.E Jehu figliuolo di Namsi lo ungerai re d'Israele; e ungerai profeta in tua vece Eliseo figliuolo di Saphat, che è di Abelmeula.and Iehu the sonne of Namsi thou shalt anoynt king ouer Israel: and Eliseus the sonne of Saphat, which is of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoynt prophet for thee.et Jehu filium Namsi unges regem super Israël: Eliseum autem filium Saphat, qui est de Abelmehula, unges prophetam pro te. 17And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus.E avverrà, che chi avrà scansata la spada di Hazael, sarà ucciso da Jehu: e chi avrà scansata la spada di Jehu, sarà ucciso da Eliseo.And it shal be, whosoeuer shal escape the sword of Hazael, him Iehu shal kil: and whosouer shal escape the sword of Iehu, him shal Eliseus kil.Et erit: quicumque fugerit gladium Hazaël, occidet eum Jehu: et quicumque fugerit gladium Jehu, interficiet eum Eliseus.

18And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him, kissing the hands.E io serberommi in Israele sette mila uomini, i quali non han piegato il ginocchio dinanzi a Baal, e nissun de' quali ha accostata la mano alla sua bocca in adorandolo.And I wil leaue me in Israel seuen thousand men, whose knees haue not beene bowed before Baal, and euerie mouth, that hath not adored him kyssing his handes.Et derelinquam mihi in Israël septem millia virorum, quorum genua non sunt incurvata ante Baal, et omne os quod non adoravit eum osculans manus. 19And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus, the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with, twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.Partitosi adunque di là Elia, trovò Eliseo figliuolo di Saphat, il quale arava la terra con dodici paia di buoi, ed egli era un di quei, che aravano colle dodici paia di bovi: e giunto a lui Elia, gettò sopra di lui il suo mantello.Elias therfore departing thence, found Eliseus the sonne of Saphat, ploughing with twelue yoke of oxen, and he was one of them that ploughed with twelue yoke of oxen: and when Elias came to him, he cast his mantel vpon him.Profectus ergo inde Elias, reperit Eliseum filium Saphat, arantem in duodecim jugis boum. Et ipse in duodecim jugis boum arantibus unus erat: cumque venisset Elias ad eum, misit pallium suum super illum. 20And he forthwith left the oxen, and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee.E quegli, lasciati subito i bovi, corse dietro ad Elia, e disse: Concedi, ch'io vada a dar un bacio a mio padre, e a mia madre, e poi ti seguirò. E quegli disse a lui: va, e torna: perocché quello, che toccava a me, io l'ho fatto.Who forth with leauing the oxen ranne after Elias, and said: Let me kisse, I pray thee, my father, and my mother, and so I wil folow thee. And he sayd to him: Goe, and returne: for that which was my part, I haue donne to thee.Qui statim relictis bobus cucurrit post Eliam, et ait: Osculer, oro, patrem meum, et matrem meam, et sic sequar te. Dixitque ei: Vade, et revertere: quod enim meum erat, feci tibi. 21And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up, he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him.E partitosi da lui, prese un paio di bovi, e gli scannò, e colle legna dell'aratro cosse le carni, e la diede alla gente, perchè le mangiasse: e parti, e andò, e seguitò Elia, e lo serviva.And returning from him, he tooke a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and sod the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gaue to the people, and they did eate: and rysing vp he departed, and folowed Elias, & ministred to him.Reversus autem ab eo, tulit par boum, et mactavit illud, et in aratro boum coxit carnes, et dedit populo, et comederunt: consurgensque abiit, et secutus est Eliam, et ministrabat ei.
