12 — 1 Re (1 Samuele)

1And Samuel said to all Israel: Behold I have hearkened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.E Samuele disse a tutto Israele: Ecco che io ho ascoltate le vostre parole in tutto quello che mi avete domandato, e vi ho dato un re.AND Samuel sayd to al Israel: Behold I haue heard your voice according to al thinges which you haue spoken to me, and I haue appointed a king ouer you.Dixit autem Samuel ad universum Israël: Ecce audivi vocem vestram juxta omnia quæ locuti estis ad me, et constitui super vos regem. 2And now the king goeth before you: but I am old and greyheaded: and my sons are with you: having then conversed with you from my youth until this day, behold here I am.E già il re va innanzi a voi: ma io son vecchio, e canuto: e i miei figliuoli sono tra voi. Or avendo io passata la mia vita con voi dalla mia adolescenza sino a questo giorno, eccomi ora presente.And now the king goeth before you: and I am waxen old and haue gray heares: moreouer my sonnes are with you: therfore hauing conuersed with you from my youth vntil this day, loe I am readie.Et nunc rex graditur ante vos: ego autem senui, et incanui: porro filii mei vobiscum sunt: itaque conversatus coram vobis ab adolescentia mea usque ad hanc diem, ecce præsto sum. 3Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I have taken any man’s ox, or ass: if I have wronged any man, if I have oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man’s hand: and I will despise it this day, and will restore it to you.E voi parlate pure di me dinanzi al Signore e dinanzi al suo Cristo se io ho preso il bue o l'asino di qualcheduno: se ho calunniato alcuno, o l'ho oppresso: se ho accettati doni da chicchessia: e io me ne priverò quest'oggi, e ve li restituirò.Speake of me before our Lord, and before his Christ, whether I haue taken any mans oxe, or asse: If I haue calumniated any man, if I haue oppressed any man, if I haue taken gift of any mans hand: and I wil contemne that same this day, and wil restore it to you.Loquimini de me coram Domino, et coram christo ejus, utrum bovem cujusquam tulerim, aut asinum: si quempiam calumniatus sum, si oppressi aliquem, si de manu cujusquam munus accepi: et contemnam illud hodie, restituamque vobis. 4And they said: Thou hast not wronged us, nor oppressed us, nor taken ought at any man’s hand.E quelli dissero: Non hai calunniato, nè oppresso alcuno, e non hai presa cosa veruna dalle mani di chicchessia.And they said thou hast not calumniated vs, nor oppressed vs, nor taken ought of any mans hand.Et dixerunt: Non es calumniatus nos, neque oppressisti, neque tulisti de manu alicujus quippiam. 5And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my hand. And they said: He is witness.Ed ei disse loro: Il Signore è testimone contro di voi, ed è testimone il suo Cristo in questo dì, come voi non avete trovato nulla nelle mie mani. E quelli dissero: Testimone.And he sayd to them: Witnes is our Lord against you, and witnes is his Christ in this day, that you haue not found any thing in my hand. And they said: WitnesDixitque ad eos: Testis est Dominus adversum vos, et testis christus ejus in die hac, quia non inveneritis in manu mea quippiam. Et dixerunt: Testis.

6And Samuel said to the people: It is the Lord who made Moses and Aaron, and brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt.E Samuele disse al popolo: (Testimone) il Signore che fece Mosè, e Aronne, e trasse i padri nostri dalla terra d'Egitto.And Samuel said to the people: Our Lord who made Moyses and Aaron, and brought our fathers out of the Land of Aegypt is present.Et ait Samuel ad populum: Dominus, qui fecit Moysen et Aaron, et eduxit patres nostros de terra Ægypti. 7Now, therefore, stand up, that I may plead in judgment against you before the Lord, concerning all the kindness of the Lord, which he hath shewn to you, and to your fathers:Ora adunque state su, affinchè io vi chiami in giudizio dinanzi al Signore per ragione di tutte le misericordie fatte dal Signore a voi, e a' padri vostri:Now therefore stand, that I may contend in iudgement against you before our Lord, concerning al the mercies of our Lord, which he hath done with you, and with your fathers:Nunc ergo state, ut judicio contendam adversum vos coram Domino de omnibus misericordiis Domini quas fecit vobiscum et cum patribus vestris: 8How Jacob went into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the Lord: and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.Come Giacobbe entrò in Egitto, e i padri vostri alzaron le grida al Signore: e il Signore mandò Mosè, e Aronne, e trasse i padri vostri dall'Egitto, e li collocò in questo luogo.how Iacob entred into Aegypt, and your fathers cried to our Lord: and our Lord sent Moyses and Aaron, and brought your fathers out of Aegypt: and placed them in this place.quomodo Jacob ingressus est in Ægyptum, et clamaverunt patres vestri ad Dominum: et misit Dominus Moysen et Aaron, et eduxit patres vestros de Ægypto, et collocavit eos in loco hoc. 9And they forgot the Lord their God, and he delivered them into the hands of Sisara, captain of the army of Hasor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.Ed eglino si dimenticarono del Signore Dio loro, ed ei gli diede in poter di Sisara capitano di Hasor, e in potere de' Filistei, e in potere del re di Moab, i quali fecero ad essi guerra.Who forgat our Lord their God, and he deliuered them in the hand of Sisara master of the hoste of Haser, and in the hand of the Philisthijmes, and in the hand of the king of Moab, and they sought against them.Qui obliti sunt Domini Dei sui, et tradidit eos in manu Sisaræ magistri militiæ Hasor, et in manu Philisthinorum, et in manu regis Moab: et pugnaverunt adversum eos.

10But afterwards they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Astaroth: but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.E dipoi alzaron le voci al Signore, e dissero: Abbiam peccato, perchè abbiamo abbandonato il Signore, e abbiam servito a Baal, e ad Astaroth: adesso adunque liberaci tu dalle mani de' nostri nemici, e serviremo a te.But afterward they cried to our Lord, and said: We haue sinned, because we haue forsaken our Lord, and haue serued Baalim and Astaroth: now therefore deliuer vs from the hand of our enemies, and we wil serue thee.Postea autem clamaverunt ad Dominum, et dixerunt: Peccavimus, quia dereliquimus Dominum, et servivimus Baalim et Astaroth: nunc ergo erue nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum, et serviemus tibi. 11And the Lord sent Jerobaal, and Badan, and Jephte, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies round about, and you dwelt securely.E il Signore mandò Jerobaal, e Badan, e Jephte e Samuel, e liberovvi dalle mani de' vostri nemici che vi circondavano, e abitaste senza timore.And our Lord sent Ierobaal, and Badan, and Iepte, and Samuel, and deliuered you from the hand of your enemies round about, and you dwelt securely.Et misit Dominus Jerobaal, et Badan, et Jephte, et Samuel, et eruit vos de manu inimicorum vestrorum per circuitum, et habitastis confidenter. 12But seeing that Naas, king of the children of Ammon, was come against you, you said to me: Nay, but a king shall reign over us: whereas the Lord your God was your king.Ma veggendo, come Naas re de' figliuoli di Ammon si era mosso contro di voi, diceste a me: Non più: un re sarà quegli che comanderà a noi: mentre regnava sopra di voi il Signore Dio vostro.But you seing that Naas, king of the children of Ammon was come against you, you said to me: Not so, but a king shal reigne ouer vs: whereas our Lord your God did reigne among you.Videntes autem quod Naas rex filiorum Ammon venisset adversum vos, dixistis mihi: Nequaquam, sed rex imperabit nobis: cum Dominus Deus vester regnaret in vobis. 13Now, therefore, your king is here, whom you have chosen and desired: Behold the Lord hath given you a king.Or adunque ecco qui il vostro re eletto, e domandato da voi: ecco qui che il Signore vi ha dato un re.Now therfore your king is readie, whom you haue chosen and desired: behold our Lord hath geuen you a king.Nunc ergo præsto est rex vester, quem elegistis et petistis: ecce dedit vobis Dominus regem. 14If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord: then shall both you, and the king who reigneth over you, be followers of the Lord your God.Se voi temerete il Signore, e lo servirete e ascolterete la sua parola, e non irriterete la faccia del Signore: vivrete e voi, e il re che vi governa, seguendo il Signore Dio vostro:If you shal feare our Lord, and serue him, and heare his voice, and not exasperat the mouth of our Lord: both you, and the king which reigneth ouer you, shal be folowers of our Lord your God.Si timueritis Dominum, et servieritis ei, et audieritis vocem ejus, et non exasperaveritis os Domini, eritis et vos, et rex qui imperat vobis, sequentes Dominum Deum vestrum:

15But if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but will rebel against his words, the hand of the Lord shall be upon you, and upon your fathers.Se poi non ascolterete la voce del Signore, ma contrarierete la sua parola, la man del Signore sarà sopra di voi, come su' vostri padri.but if you wil nor heare the voice of our Lord, but shal exasperat his wordes, the hand of our Lord shal be vpon you, and vpon your fathers.si autem non audieritis vocem Domini, sed exasperaveritis sermones ejus, erit manus Domini super vos, et super patres vestros. 16Now then stand, and see this great thing which the Lord will do in your sight.Ma oggi ancora state su, e osservate questa cosa grande, che il Signore farà dinanzi a voi.But now also stand, and see this great thing which our Lord wil doe in your sight.Sed et nunc state, et videte rem istam grandem quam facturus est Dominus in conspectu vestro. 17Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain: and you shall know, and see that you yourselves have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, in desiring a king over you.Non è egli adesso il tempo della messe del grano? Io invocherò il Signore, ed ei ci manderà tuoni, e pioggia: e conoscerete, e vedrete, che un mal grande nel cospetto del Signore vi siete fatto, chiedendo un re, che a voi sovrastasse.Is it not wheare haruest to day? I wil cal vpon our Lord, & he wil geue noyses and rayne: and you shal know, and see that you haue done great euil to your selues in the sight of our Lord, desiring a king ouer you.Numquid non messis tritici est hodie ? invocabo Dominum, et dabit voces et pluvias: et scietis, et videbitis, quia grande malum feceritis vobis in conspectu Domini, petentes super vos regem. 18And Samuel cried unto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day.E Samuele alzò la voce al Signore, e il Signore mandò tuoni, e pioggia in quel giorno.And Samuel cried to our Lord, and our Lord gaue noyses and raine in that day.Et clamavit Samuel ad Dominum, et dedit Dominus voces et pluvias in illa die. 19And all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. And all the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king.E il popolo tutto temè sommamente il Signore, e Samuele e tutto il popolo disse a Samuele: Prega il Signore Dio tuo pe' tuoi servi, affinchè non muojamo: perocché a tutti gli altri peccati nostri abbiamo aggiunto questo male di chiedere per noi un re.And al the people feared excedingly our Lord and Samuel. And al the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy seruantes to our Lord thy God, that we die not. for we haue added euil to al our sinnes, that we desired vnto vs a king.Et timuit omnis populus nimis Dominum et Samuelem, et dixit universus populus ad Samuelem: Ora pro servis tuis ad Dominum Deum tuum, ut non moriamur: addidimus enim universis peccatis nostris malum, ut peteremus nobis regem.

20And Samuel said to the people: Fear not, you have done all this evil: but yet depart not from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.Ma Samuele disse al popolo: Non temete: voi avete fatto tutto questo male; nulladimeno non vi ritirate dalla sequela del Signore, ma servite il Signore con tutto il cuor vostro.And Samuel sayd to the people: Feare not, you haue done al this euil: but yet depart not from the backe of our Lord, but serue our Lord in al your hart.Dixit autem Samuel ad populum: Nolite timere: vos fecistis universum malum hoc, verumtamen nolite recedere a tergo Domini, sed servite Domino in omni corde vestro. 21And turn not aside after vain things, which shall never profit you, nor deliver you, because they are vain.E non vi rivolgete verso le vanità, le quali non gioveranno a voi, e non vi libereranno, perchè son vanità.And decline not after vaine thinges, which shal not profite you, nor deliuer you, because they are vaine.Et nolite declinare post vana, quæ non proderunt vobis, neque eruent vos, quia vana sunt. 22And the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because the Lord hath sworn to make you his people.E il Signore non abbandonerà il suo popolo per amore del suo nome grande: perchè il Signore giurò di farvi suo popolo.And our Lord wil not forsake his people for his great name: because our Lord hath sworne to make you a people to him self.Et non derelinquet Dominus populum suum propter nomen suum magnum: quia juravit Dominus facere vos sibi populum. 23And far from me be this sin against the Lord, that I should cease to pray for you: and I will teach you the good and right way.Lungi poi da me di far questo peccato contro il Signore, ch'io cessi di orar per voi: io vi mostrerò sempre la strada buona, e diritta.And farre from me be this sinne in our Lord, that I should cease to pray for you, and I wil teach you the good and right way.Absit autem a me hoc peccatum in Dominum, ut cessem orare pro vobis, et docebo vos viam bonam et rectam. 24Therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in truth, and with your whole heart, for you have seen the great works which he hath done among you.Per la qual cosa temete il Signore, e servitelo veracemente, e di tutto cuore: perocché avete veduto le grandi cose che ha fatte tra voi.Therefore feare our Lord, and serue him in truth and from your whole hart. for you haue seene the great workes which he hath done among you.Igitur timete Dominum, et servite ei in veritate, et ex toto corde vestro: vidistis enim magnifica quæ in vobis gesserit. 25But if you will still do wickedly: both you and your king shall perish together.Che se voi ostinerete nella malizia, perirete insieme e voi, e il vostro re.But if you shal perseuer in malice: both you and your king shal perish together.Quod si perseveraveritis in malitia, et vos et rex vester pariter peribitis.
