21 — 3 Kings (1 Kings)

1And after these things, Naboth the Jezrahelite, who was in Jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard, near the palace of Achab, king of Samaria.Dopo queste cose in quel tempo successe, che Naboth Jezraelita aveva in Jezrael una vigna presso al palazzo di Achab re di Samaria.AND after these wordes, at that tyme Naboth the Iezrahelite had a vineyard, which was in Iezrahel, beside the palace of Achab the king of Samaria.Post verba autem hæc, tempore illo vinea erat Naboth Jezrahelitæ, quæ erat in Jezrahel, juxta palatium Achab regis Samariæ. 2And Achab spoke to Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.Achab adunque parlò a Naboth, e disselli: Dammi la tua vigna, di cui vo' farmi un orto di erbaggi, perchè ella è vicina, e contigua alla mia casa, e darotti in sua vece una vigna migliore: o, se lo credi più util per te, quel prezzo, che ella merita, in denaro.Achab therfore spake to Naboth, saying: Geue me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbes, because it is nigh, and ioyning to my house, and I wil geue thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou thinke it more commodious for thee, the price of siluer, so much as it is worth.Locutus est ergo Achab ad Naboth, dicens: Da mihi vineam tuam, ut faciam mihi hortum olerum, quia vicina est, et prope domum meam: daboque tibi pro ea vineam meliorem, aut si commodius tibi putas, argenti pretium, quanto digna est. 3Naboth answered him: The Lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers.Rispose a lui Naboth: Così mi aiuti il Signore, com' io non darò a te l'eredità de' padri miei.To whom Naboth answered: Our Lord be merciful to me, that I geue not the inheritance of my fathers to thee.Cui respondit Naboth: Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne dem hæreditatem patrum meorum tibi. 4And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth, the Jezrahelite, had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread.Achab pertanto si ritirò a casa sua sdegnato, e fremendo per quella parola dettagli da Naboth Jezraelita: Non darò a te l'eredità de' padri miei. E gettatosi sul suo letto, voltò la faccia verso il muro, e non prese cibo.Achab therfore came into his house with indignation, and fretting vpon the word, that Naboth the Iezrahelite had spoken to him, saying: I wil not geue thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting him self vpon his bed, he turned away his face to the wal, and did not eate bread.Venit ergo Achab in domum suam indignans, et frendens super verbo quod locutus fuerat ad eum Naboth Jezrahelites, dicens: Non dabo tibi hæreditatem patrum meorum. Et projiciens se in lectulum suum, avertit faciem suam ad parietem, et non comedit panem.

5And Jezabel, his wife, went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread?Or Jezabele sua moglie andò a trovarlo, e gli disse: Che è questo? qual motivo hai di attristarti e per qual ragione non mangi?And Iezabel his wife went in vnto him, and sayd to him: What is this matter, whereupon thy soule is greued? and why eatest thou not bread?Ingressa est autem ad eum Jezabel uxor sua, dixitque ei: Quid est hoc, unde anima tua contristata est ? et quare non comedis panem ? 6And he answered her: I spoke to Naboth, the Jezrahelite, and said to him: Give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, I will give thee a better vineyard for it. And he said: I will not give thee my vineyard.E quegli le rispose: Io ho parlato a Naboth Jezraelita, e gli ho detto: Dammi la tua vigna, e prendi il denaro: o, se così ti piace, ti darò una vigna migliore invece di quella. Ed egli ha detto: Io non ti darò la mia vigna.Who answered her: I spake to Naboth the Iezrahelite, and sayd to him: Geue me thy vineyard, taking money for it: or if it please thee, I wil geue thee a better vineyard for it. And he sayd: I wil not geue thee my vineyard.Qui respondit ei: Locutus sum Naboth Jezrahelitæ, et dixi ei: Da mihi vineam tuam, accepta pecunia: aut, si tibi placet, dabo tibi vineam meliorem pro ea. Et ille ait: Non dabo tibi vineam meam. 7Then Jezabel, his wife, said to him. Thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of Israel. Arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer; I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite.Disse adunque a lui Jezabele sua moglie: Tu hai una grande autorità, e governi bene il regno d'Israele. Alzati, e prendi cibo, e sta di buon animo; io darò a te la vigna di Naboth Jezraelita.Iezabel therfore his wife sayd to him: Thou art of great authoritie, and doest wel gouerne the kingdome of Israel: Arise, and eate bread, and be of good cheere, I wil geue thee the vineyard of Naboth the Iezrahelite.Dixit ergo ad eum Jezabel uxor ejus: Grandis auctoritatis es, et bene regis regnum Israël. Surge, et comede panem, et æquo animo esto: ego dabo tibi vineam Naboth Jezrahelitæ. 8So she wrote letters in Achab’s name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.Ella adunque scrisse una lettera a nome di Achab, e la sigillò col sigillo di lui, e la mandò ai seniori, e ai magnati, che stavano in quella città, e abitavano insieme con Naboth.She therfore wrote letters in the name of Achab, and signed them with his ring, and sent to the ancientes, and the chiefe men that were in his citie, and dwelt with Naboth.Scripsit itaque litteras ex nomine Achab, et signavit eas annulo ejus, et misit ad majores natu, et optimates, qui erant in civitate ejus, et habitabant cum Naboth.

9And this was the tenor of the letters: Proclaim a fast, and make Naboth sit among the chief of the people;E la sostanza della lettera ell'era questa: Intimate il digiuno, e fate sedere Naboth tra i principali del popolo.And this was the tenor of the letters: Proclame a fast, and make Naboth sitte among the chiefe of the people,Litterarum autem hæc erat sententia: Prædicate jejunium, et sedere facite Naboth inter primos populi: 10And suborn two men, sons of Belial, against him, and let them bear false witness; that he hath blasphemed God and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die.E mandate sottomano due uomini figliuoli di Belial, i quali rendano falso testimonio contro di lui, e dicano: Egli ha bestemmiato contro Dio, e contro il re: e voi conducetel fuora, e lapidatelo, e così muoia.and suborne two men the children of Belial agaynst him, and let them beare false testimony: that he hath blessed God and the king: and bring him forth, and stone him, and so let him die.et submittite duos viros filios Belial contra eum, et falsum testimonium dicant: Benedixit Deum et regem: et educite eum, et lapidate, sicque moriatur. 11And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them;Fecero pertanto i concittadini di lui, i seniori, e i magnati, che abitavano con lui in quella città, secondo il comando di Jezabele, e secondo quello, che conteneva la lettera scritta ad essi.His citizens therfore the ancientes and chiefe men, that dwelt with him in the citie, did as Iezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she sent to them:Fecerunt ergo cives ejus majores natu et optimates, qui habitabant cum eo in urbe, sicut præceperat eis Jezabel, et sicut scriptum erat in litteris quas miserat ad eos: 12They proclaimed a fast, and made Naboth sit among the chief of the people.Intimarono il digiuno, e fecero sedere Naboth tra i principali del popolo.they proclamed a fast, and made Naboth sitte among the chiefe of the people.prædicaverunt jejunium, et sedere fecerunt Naboth inter primos populi. 13And bringing two men, sons of the devil, they made them sit against him: and they, like men of the devil, bore witness against him before the people: saying: Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Wherefore they brought him forth without the city, and stoned him to death.E fatti venire due uomini figliuoli del diavolo, li fecero sedere in faccia a lui: e quelli, come uomini del diavolo, rendettero questa testimonianza contro di lui dinanzi al popolo: Naboth ha bestemmiato contro Dio, e contro il re: per la qual cosa lo condussero fuori della città, e lo uccisero lapidandolo.And two men the children of the diuel being brought forth, they made them sitte agaynst him: but they, as deuelish men, gaue testimonie agaynst him before the multitude: Naboth hath blessed God and the king: for the which thing they brought him forth without the citie, and killed him with stones.Et adductis duobus viris filiis diaboli, fecerunt eos sedere contra eum: at illi, scilicet ut viri diabolici, dixerunt contra eum testimonium coram multitudine: Benedixit Naboth Deum et regem: quam ob rem eduxerunt eum extra civitatem, et lapidibus interfecerunt.

14And they sent to Jezabel, saying: Naboth is stoned, and is dead.E mandarono a dire a Jezabele: Naboth è stato lapidato, ed è morto.And they sent to Iezabel, saying: Naboth is stoned, and is dead.Miseruntque ad Jezabel, dicentes: Lapidatus est Naboth, et mortuus est. 15And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to Achab: Arise, and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.Or avendo jezabele udito, come Naboth era stato lapidato, ed era morto, disse ad Achab: Va, prendi possesso della vigna di Naboth Jezraelita, il quale non volle contentarti, e dartela a denaro contante: perocché Naboth non vive, ma è morto.And it came to passe, when Iezabel had heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, she spake to Achab: Arise, and possesse the vineyard of Naboth the Iezrahelite, who would not agree vnto thee, and geue it taking money: for Naboth liueth not, but is dead.Factum est autem, cum audisset Jezabel lapidatum Naboth et mortuum, locuta est ad Achab: Surge, et posside vineam Naboth Jezrahelitæ, qui noluit tibi acquiescere, et dare eam accepta pecunia: non enim vivit Naboth, sed mortuus est. 16And when Achab heard this, to wit, that Naboth was dead, he arose, and went down into the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite, to take possession of it.La qual cosa avendo udita Achab, viene a dire, come Naboth era morto, si mosse per andare alla vigna di Naboth Jezraelita, per prenderne il possesso.Which when Achab had heard, to witte, that Naboth was dead, he arose, & went downe into the vineyard of Naboth the Iezrahelite, to possesse it.Quod cum audisset Achab, mortuum videlicet Naboth, surrexit, et descendebat in vineam Naboth Jezrahelitæ, ut possideret eam. 17And the word of the Lord came to Elias, the Thesbite, saying:Ma il Signore parlò ad Elia Thesbite, e gli disse:The word of our Lord therfore came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:Factum est igitur sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens: 18Arise, and go down to meet Achab, king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it:Levati su e va incontro ad Achab re d'Israele, che è in Samaria: ecco, che egli va alla vigna di Naboth, per pigliarne il possesso.Arise, and goe downe to meete Achab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he goeth downe to the vineyard of Naboth, to possesse it:Surge, et descende in occursum Achab regis Israël, qui est in Samaria: ecce ad vineam Naboth descendit, ut possideat eam.

19And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast slain: moreover also thou hast taken possession. And after these words thou shalt add: Thus saith the Lord: In this place, wherein the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall lick thy blood also.E tu parlerai a lui, e dirai: Queste cose dice il Signore: Hai ucciso, e di più vai a prender possesso. E di poi soggiungerai: Queste cose dice il Signore: In quel luogo, dove i cani hanno leccato il sangue di Naboth, ivi pur leccheranno il tuo sangue.and thou shalt speake to him, saying: Thus sayth our Lord: Thou hast slayne, moreouer also thou hast possest. And after these wordes thou shalt adde: Thus sayth our Lord: In this place, wherein the dogges haue licked the bloud of Naboth, they shal licke thy bloud also.Et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus: Occidisti, insuper et possedisti. Et post hæc addes: Hæc dicit Dominus: In loco hoc, in quo linxerunt canes sanguinem Naboth, lambent quoque sanguinem tuum. 20And Achab said to Elias: Hast thou found me thy enemy? He said: I have found thee because thou art sold, to do evil in the sight of the Lord.E Achab disse ad Elia: Mi hai tu forse conosciuto per tuo nemico? E quegli disse: Ti ho conosciuto, perchè tu ti se' venduto, per fare l'iniquità nel cospetto del Signore.And Achab sayd to Elias: Hast thou found me thyne enemie? Who sayd: I haue found thee, for that thou art sold, to doe euil in the sight of our Lord.Et ait Achab ad Eliam: Num invenisti me inimicum tibi ? Qui dixit: Inveni, eo quod venundatus sis, ut faceres malum in conspectu Domini. 21Behold I will bring evil upon thee, and I will cut down thy posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel.Ecco, che io manderò guai sopra di te, e mieterò la tua posterità, e ucciderò della casa di Achab fino i cani, e i rinchiusi, e gli ultimi in Israele.Behold I wil bring euil vpon thee, and wil cut downe thy posteritie, and wil kil of Achab him that pisseth agaynst the wal, and the inclosed, and the last in Israel.Ecce ego inducam super te malum, et demetam posteriora tua, et interficiam de Achab mingentem ad parietem, et clausum et ultimum in Israël. 22And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias: for what thou hast done to provoke me to anger, and for making Israel to sin.E la tua casa farò simile alla casa di Geroboam figliuolo di Nabath, e simile alla casa di Baasa figliuolo di Ahia: perchè tu hai cercato di provocarmi a sdegno, e hai fatto peccare Israele.And I wil make thy house, as the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa the sonne of Ahias: because thou hast done, to prouoke me to anger, and hast made Israel to sinne.Et dabo domum tuam sicut domum Jeroboam filii Nabat, et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia: quia egisti ut me ad iracundiam provocares, et peccare fecisti Israël.

23And of Jezabel also, the Lord spoke, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel.E parimente riguardo a Jezabele ha parlato il Signore, dicendo: I cani mangeranno Jezabele nella campagna di Jezrael.But of Iezabel also our Lord spake, saying: The dogges shal eate Iezabel in the field of Iezrahel.Sed et de Jezabel locutus est Dominus, dicens: Canes comedent Jezabel in agro Jezrahel. 24If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him.Se Achab morrà in città, lo mangeranno i cani: se ei morrà in campagna, lo mangeranno gli uccelli dell'aria.If Achab die in the citie, the dogges shal eate him: but if he die in the field, the foules of the ayre shal eate him.Si mortuus fuerit Achab in civitate, comedent eum canes: si autem mortuus fuerit in agro, comedent eum volucres cæli. 25Now, there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife, Jezabel, set him on,Non fu adunque altr'uomo simile ad Achab vendutosi per fare il male nel cospetto del Signore: perocché era messo su da Jezabele sua moglie.Therfore there was not such an other as Achab, who was sold to doe euil in the sight of our Lord: for his wife Iezabel sette him on,Igitur non fuit alter talis sicut Achab, qui venundatus est ut faceret malum in conspectu Domini: concitavit enim eum Jezabel uxor sua, 26And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.E diventò abominevole a segno, che andava dietro agl'idoli fatti dagli Amorrhei, i quali il Signore avea distrutti ali arrivo de' figliuoli d'Israele.and he became abominable, in so much that he folowed the idols, which the Amorrheites had made, whom our Lord consumed before the face of the children of Israel.et abominabilis factus est, in tantum ut sequeretur idola quæ fecerant Amorrhæi, quos consumpsit Dominus a facie filiorum Israël. 27And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down.Ma Achab avendo udite queste parole, stracciò le sue vestimenta, e coperse la sua carne di cilizio, e digiunò, e dormì involto nel sacco, e andava col capo basso.Therfore when Achab had heard these wordes, he rent his garmentes, and couered his flesh with haercloth, and fasted and slept in sackcloth, and walked casting downe his head.Itaque cum audisset Achab sermones istos, scidit vestimenta sua, et operuit cilicio carnem suam, jejunavitque et dormivit in sacco, et ambulavit demisso capite.

28And the word of the Lord came to Elias, the Thesbite, saying:E lì Signore parlò ad Elia Thesbite, e disse:And the word of our Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens: 29Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself, for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.Non hai tu veduto, come Achab si è umiliato dinanzi a me? Perchè egli adunque si è umiliato per rispetto a me, io non manderò quelle sciagure, mentre ei sarà vivo, ma ai tempi del suo figliuolo io le manderò sopra la sua casa.Hast thou not seene Achab humbled before me? therfore, because he hath humbled him self for my sake, I wil not bring in the euil in his dayes, but in his sonnes daies wil I bring the euil vpon his house.Nonne vidisti humiliatum Achab coram me ? quia igitur humiliatus est mei causa, non inducam malum in diebus ejus, sed in diebus filii sui inferam malum domui ejus.
