13 — 1 Re (1 Samuele)

1Saul was a child of one year when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel.Figliuolo di un anno era Saul, quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò due anni sopra Israele.A CHILD of one yeare was Saul when he began to reigne, and two yeares he reigned ouer Israel.Filius unius anni erat Saul cum regnare cœpisset: duobus autem annis regnavit super Israël. 2And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel: and two thousand were with Saul in Machmas, and in mount Bethel: and a thousand with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent back every man to their dwellings.E fece Saul la scelta di tre mila Israeliti: e due mila stavano con Saul in Machmas, e sul monte Bethel: e mille erano con Gionata in Gabaa di Beniamin: e rimandò tutto il resto del popolo ognuno alle sue tende.And Saul chose to him selfe three thousand of Israel: and there were with Saul two thousand in Machmas, and in the mount of Bethel: and a thousand with Ionathas in Gabaa of Beniamin, moreouer the rest of the people he sent backe euerie man into their tabernacles.Et elegit sibi Saul tria millia de Israël: et erant cum Saul duo millia in Machmas, et in monte Bethel: mille autem cum Jonatha in Gabaa Benjamin: porro ceterum populum remisit unumquemque in tabernacula sua. 3And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines which was in Gabaa. And when the Philistines had heard of it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying: Let the Hebrews hear.E Gionata trucidò il presidio de' Filistei che era in Gabaa. E quando la nuova ne fu sparsa tra' Filistei, Saul fece notificarla colle trombe per tutto il paese, dicendo: Sappiano gli Ebrei.And Ionathas stroke the garrison of the Philisthijms, which was in Gabaa. Which when the Philisthijms had heard, Saul sounded with the trumpet in al the land, saying: Let the Hebrewes heare.Et percussit Jonathas stationem Philisthinorum quæ erat in Gabaa. Quod cum audissent Philisthiim, Saul cecinit buccina in omni terra, dicens: Audiant Hebræi. 4And all Israel heard this report: Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines: and Israel took courage against the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Galgal.E tutto Israele udì questa nuova: Saul ha distrutta la stazione de' Filistei: e Israele alzò la testa contro dei Filistei. Quindi è, che il popolo levò il grido dietro a Saul in Galgala.And al Israel heard this maner of bruite: Saul hath striken the garrison of the Philisthijms: and Israel tooke courage against the Philisthijms. The people therfore cried after Saul in Galgal.Et universus Israël audivit hujuscemodi famam: Percussit Saul stationem Philisthinorum, et erexit se Israël adversus Philisthiim. Clamavit ergo populus post Saul in Galgala.

5The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the seashore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas, at the east of Bethaven.E i Filistei misero insieme per combattere contro Israele trenta mila cocchi, e sei mila cavalli, e l'altra turba in tanto numero, quante son le arene del mare. E si mossero, e posero il campo a Machmas dalla parte orientale di Bethaven.And the Philisthims were gathered together to fight against Israel, thirtie thousand chariotes, and six thousand horsemen, and the rest of the common people, as the sand which is in the sea shore very much. And going vp they camped in Machmas at the East of Bethauen.Et Philisthiim congregati sunt ad præliandum contra Israël, triginta millia curruum, et sex millia equitum, et reliquum vulgus, sicut arena quæ est in littore maris plurima. Et ascendentes castrametati sunt in Machmas ad orientem Bethaven. 6And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened (for the people were distressed), they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits.Or in veggendo gli uomini d'Israele, come eran ridotti alle strette (perocché il popolo era disanimato) si nascosero nelle caverne, e nelle buche, e anche ne' massi e nelle grotte, e nelle cisterne.Which when the men of Israel had seene them selues put in a streict (for the people was afflicted) they hid them selues in caues, and in secrete places, in rockes also, and in dennes, and in cesternes.Quod cum vidissent viri Israël se in arcto positos (afflictus enim erat populus), absconderunt se in speluncis, et in abditis, in petris quoque, et in antris, et in cisternis. 7And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid.E gli Ebrei passato il Giordano entrarono nella terra di Gad, e di Galaad. Ma mentre Saul era tuttora in Galgala, tutto il popolo che lo seguiva, s'impaurì.And the Hebrewes passed Iordan into the Land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, al the people was sore afrayd, which folowed him.Hebræi autem transierunt Jordanem in terram Gad et Galaad. Cumque adhuc esset Saul in Galgala, universus populus perterritus est qui sequebatur eum. 8And he waited seven days, according to the appointment of Samuel, and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him.E aspettò (Saul) sette giorni secondo l'ordine di Samuele, e non arrivò Samuele a Galgala: e il popolo alla spicciolata se ne andava da lui.And he expected seuen daies according to the appointment of Samuel, and Samuel came not into Galgal, and the people slipt away from him.Et expectavit septem diebus juxta placitum Samuelis, et non venit Samuel in Galgala, dilapsusque est populus ab eo.

9Then Saul said: Bring me the holocaust, and the peace offerings. And he offered the holocaust.Disse adunque Saul: Menatemi l'olocausto, e l'ostia pacifica. E offerse l'olocausto.Saul therfore said: Bring me the holocauste, and the pacifiques. And he offered the holocauste.Ait ergo Saul: Afferte mihi holocaustum et pacifica. Et obtulit holocaustum. 10And when he had made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute him.E finito che ebbe di offerir l'olocausto, ecco che veniva Samuele, e Saul gli uscì incontro per salutarlo.And when he had finished offering the holocauste, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to mete him & salute him.Cumque complesset offerens holocaustum, ecce Samuel veniebat: et egressus est Saul obviam ei ut salutaret eum. 11And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas,E dissegli Samuele: Che hai tu fatto? Rispose Saul: Perchè io vidi che il popolo se n'andava alla spicciolata da me, e tu non eri giunto dentro i giorni stabiliti, e d'altra parte erano raunati i Filistei a Machmas,And Samuel spake to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I sawe that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the dayes appointed, moreouer the Philisthijms were gathered together into Machmas,Locutusque est ad eum Samuel: Quid fecisti ? Respondit Saul: Quia vidi quod populus dilaberetur a me, et tu non veneras juxta placitos dies, porro Philisthiim congregati fuerant in Machmas, 12I said: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced by necessity, I offered the holocaust.Io dissi: Or ora verranno i Filistei contro di me a Galgala, e io non ho placato il Signore. Spinto da necessità ho effetto l'olocausto.I said: Now wil the Philisthijms come downe to me into Galgal, & I haue not pacified the face of our Lord. Compelled by necessitie, I offered the holocauste.dixi: Nunc descendent Philisthiim ad me in Galgala, et faciem Domini non placavi. Necessitate compulsus, obtuli holocaustum. 13And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever:E Samuele disse a Saul: Stoltamente hai fatto, e non hai osservato l'ordine dato a te dal Signore Dio tuo. Che se ciò non avessi fatto, il Signore avrebbe fin da questo punto stabilito il tuo regno sopra Israele in sempiterno.And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done folishly, neither hast thou kept the commandementes of our Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. Which if thou hadst not done, euen now had our Lord prepared thy kingdom ouer Israel for euer,Dixitque Samuel ad Saul: Stulte egisti, nec custodisti mandata Domini Dei tui quæ præcepit tibi. Quod si non fecisses, jam nunc præparasset Dominus regnum tuum super Israël in sempiternum:

14But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded.Ma non si sosterrà lungamente il tuo regno. Il Signore si è cercato un uomo secondo il cuor suo: e il Signore gli ha ordinato che egli sia condottiero del popolo suo, perchè tu non hai osservati gli ordini del Signore.but thy kingdom shal no farder arise. Our Lord hath sought him a man according to his hart: and him hath our Lord commanded to be prince ouer his people, because thou hast not obserued the thinges which our Lord commanded.sed nequaquam regnum tuum ultra consurget. Quæsivit Dominus sibi virum juxta cor suum: et præcepit ei Dominus ut esset dux super populum suum, eo quod non servaveris quæ præcepit Dominus. 15And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa, in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found with him, about six hundred men.E Samuele si partì, e da Gaigala andò a Gabaa di Beniamin. E l'altra gente andarono dietro a Saul contro quegli, i quali assalivan coloro che andavano da Galgala a Gabaa sul colle di Beniamin. E Saul fece la rassegna della gente, che si trovava con lui in numero di circa seicento uomini.And Samuel arose and went vp from Galgal into Gabaa of Beniamin. And numbered the people, which were found with him, as it were six hundred men.Surrexit autem Samuel, et ascendit de Galgalis in Gabaa Benjamin. Et reliqui populi ascenderunt post Saul obviam populo, qui expugnabant eos venientes de Galgala in Gabaa, in colle Benjamin. Et recensuit Saul populum qui inventi fuerant cum eo, quasi sexcentos viros. 16And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: But the Philistines encamped in Machmas.E Saul, e Gionata suo figliuolo, e la gente ch'era con essi, stavano in Gabaa di Beniamin: e i Filistei erano a Machmas.And Saul and Ionathas his sonne, and the people that were found with them, was in Gabaa of Beniamin: moreouer the Philisthijms had pitched in Machmas.Et Saul et Jonathas filius ejus, populusque qui inventus fuerat cum eis, erat in Gabaa Benjamin: porro Philisthiim consederant in Machmas. 17And there went out of the camp of the Philistines three companies to plunder. One company went towards the way of Ephra to the land of Sual;E usciron tre schiere del campo de' Filistei per andare al saccheggio. Una schiera prese la strada di Ephra verso la terra di Saul:And there issued forth to praye from the campe of the Philisthians three companies. One compaine went on against the way of Ephra to the Land of Saul.Et egressi sunt ad prædandum de castris Philisthinorum tres cunei. Unus cuneus pergebat contra viam Ephra ad terram Sual:

18And another went by the way of Bethoron, and the third turned to the way of the border, above the valley of Seboim towards the desert.E un'altra camminava per la via di Bethoron: e la terza s'indirizzò verso la strada del colle che sta sopra la valle di Seboim dirimpetto al deserto.Moreouer an other went by the way of Bethhoron, & the third had turned it self to the way of the border, in the valley Seboim against the desert.porro alius ingrediebatur per viam Beth-horon: tertius autem verterat se ad iter termini imminentis valli Seboim contra desertum. 19Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears.Or non trovavasi in tutto il paese d'Israele un fabbro da ferro: perocché aveano usata i Filistei questa cautela, affinchè non potessero gli Ebrei farsi spade e lance.Moreouer there was not found an yron smith in al the Land of Israel. for the Philisthijms had so prouided, lest perhaps the Hebrewes should make sword or speare.Porro faber ferrarius non inveniebatur in omni terra Israël: caverant enim Philisthiim, ne forte facerent Hebræi gladium aut lanceam. 20So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake.Per la qual cosa tutto Israele andava da' Filistei a far aguzzare i suoi vomeri, e le vanghe, e le scuri, e le zappe.Al Israel therefore went downe to the Philisthijms, that euerie man might whette his plough culter, and spade, & axe, and take.Descendebat ergo omnis Israël ad Philisthiim, ut exacueret unusquisque vomerem suum, et ligonem, et securim, et sarculum. 21So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes, were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended.Erano perciò spuntati i vomeri, e le vanghe, e i forconi, e le scuri; non avendo nemmeno come aggiustare un pungiglione.Therefore the edges of the shares, and spades, & forkes with three teeth, and axes, were blunt, euen to the godeprick, which was to be mended.Retusæ itaque erant acies vomerum, et ligonum, et tridentum, et securium, usque ad stimulum corrigendum. 22And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son.E venuto il dì della battaglia, tolto Saul, e Gionata suo figliuolo non v'ebbe di tutta la gente ch'era con Saul e Gionata, chi avesse in mano una spada, od una lancia.And when the day was come to fight, there was not found sword and speare in the hand of al the people, that was with Saul and Ionathas, except Saul and Ionathas his sonne.Cumque venisset dies prælii, non est inventus ensis et lancea in manu totius populi qui erat cum Saule et Jonatha, excepto Saul et Jonatha filio ejus.

23And the army of the Philistines went out in order to advance further in Machmas.Or una schiera di Filistei si mosse per andare di là da Machmas.And the station of the Philistijms went forth, to passe vp into Machmas.Egressa est autem statio Philisthiim, ut transcenderet in Machmas.
