25 — 1 Re (1 Samuele)

1And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose, and went down into the wilderness of Pharan.E morì Samuele, e tutto Israele si adunò e lo pianse, e lo seppellirono in casa sua in Ramatha. E David si mosse per andare nel deserto di Pharan.AND Samuel died, and al Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And Dauid rising went downe into the desert of Pharan.Mortuus est autem Samuel, et congregatus est universus Israël, et planxerunt eum, et sepelierunt eum in domo sua in Ramatha. Consurgensque David descendit in desertum Pharan. 2Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.Or eravi un uomo nella solitudine di Maon che avea i suoi beni sul Carmelo; e quest'uomo era straricco: e avea tre mila pecore, e mille capre: e avvenne che si faceva la tosatura delle sue pecore sul Carmelo.And there was a certaine man in the wildernes of Maon, and his possession in Carmel, and that man was exceding great: and he had three thousand sheepe, & a thousand goates: and it chanced that his flocke was shorne in Carmel.Erat autem vir quispiam in solitudine Maon, et possessio ejus in Carmelo, et homo ille magnus nimis: erantque ei oves tria millia, et mille capræ: et accidit ut tonderetur grex ejus in Carmelo. 3Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman: but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.E quest'uomo avea nome Nabal; e il nome di sua moglie era Abigail: donna di somma prudenza, e avvenente; ma il marito di lei era crudo, e di cattivi fatti, e malvagio. Egli era della stirpe di Caleb.And the name of that man was Nabal: and the name of his wife Abigail. and that woman was very wise and beutiful: moreouer her husband hard, and very il, and malicious: and he was of the kindred of Caleb.Nomen autem viri illius erat Nabal. Et nomen uxoris ejus Abigail: eratque mulier illa prudentissima, et speciosa: porro vir ejus durus, et pessimus, et malitiosus: erat autem de genere Caleb. 4And when David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal was shearing his sheep,David adunque avendo avuta notizia nel deserto, come Nabal tosava i suoi greggi,When Dauid therefore heard in the desert, that Nabal sheared his flocke,Cum ergo audisset David in deserto quod tonderet Nabal gregem suum, 5He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.Mandò dieci giovani, e disse loro: Salite sul Carmelo, e andate a trovar Nabal, e lo saluterete a mio nome con civiltà,he sent tenne yong men, and sayd to them: Goe vp into Carmel, and you shal come to Nabal, and shal salute him in my name peaceably.misit decem juvenes, et dixit eis: Ascendite in Carmelum, et venietis ad Nabal, et salutabitis eum ex nomine meo pacifice.

6And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast.E gli direte: La pace sia a' miei fratelli, e a te, e pace alla tua casa, e pace a tutto quello che a te appartiene.And you shal say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and to al whatsoeuer thou hast be peace.Et dicetis: Sit fratribus meis et tibi pax, et domui tuæ pax, et omnibus, quæcumque habes, sit pax. 7I have heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us in Carmel.Ho sentito dire, come i tuoi pastori fanno la tosatura; essi stavano con noi nel deserto, nè mai gli abbiamo inquietati; e non mancò nulla de' loro greggi per tutto il tempo che furon con noi sul Carmelo.I haue heard, that thy shephards which were with vs in the desert did sheare we haue neuer molested them, neither hath ought beene wanting to them at any time of the flocke, al the time that they were with vs in Carmel.Audivi quod tonderent pastores tui, qui erant nobiscum in deserto: numquam eis molesti fuimus, nec aliquando defuit quidquam eis de grege, omni tempore quo fuerunt nobiscum in Carmelo. 8Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David.Domandane a' tuoi servi, e te ne daranno conto. Trovin pertanto adesso i servi tuoi grazia dinanzi a te, dacché siam venuti in giorno d'allegria: e dà ai tuoi servi, e a David tuo figliuolo quel che ti è comodo di dare.Aske thy seruantes, and they wil tel thee. Now therefore let thy seruantes finde grace in thyne eies: for we are come in a good day, whatsoeuer thy hand shal finde, geue thy seruantes, and thy sonne Dauid.Interroga pueros tuos, et indicabunt tibi. Nunc ergo inveniant pueri tui gratiam in oculis tuis: in die enim bona venimus: quodcumque invenerit manus tua, da servis tuis, et filio tuo David. 9And when David’s servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David’s name, and then held their peace.E i giovani di David andarono, e dissero tutto questo a Nabal da parte di David; e si tacquero.And when Dauids seruantes were come, they spoke to Nabal al these wordes in Dauids name: and so held their peace.Cumque venissent pueri David, locuti sunt ad Nabal omnia verba hæc ex nomine David: et siluerunt. 10But Nabal answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now days who flee from their masters.Ma Nabal rispose ai giovani di David, e disse: Chi è David? Chi è il figliuolo d'Isai? cresce oggimai il numero dei servi, che scappano da' loro padroni.But Nabal answering the seruantes of Dauid, said: Who is Dauid? and what is the sonne of Isai? There are seruantes multiplied now a daies which flee from their masters.Respondens autem Nabal pueris David, ait: Quis est David ? et quis est filius Isai ? hodie increverunt servi qui fugiunt dominos suos.

11Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are?Prenderò adunque io il mio pane e le mie acque, e le carni delle pecore che ho ucciso per quei che tosano, e darolle a gente, che non so donde vengano?Shal I then take my breades, and my waters, and the flesh of my cattel, which I haue killed for my sheares, and geue to men whom I know nnt whence they are?Tollam ergo panes meos, et aquas meas, et carnes pecorum quæ occidi tonsoribus meis, et dabo viris quos nescio unde sint ? 12So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said.Ripigliarono adunque i servi di David la loro strada, e tornarono, e riferirono a lui tutto quello che gli avea detto.Therefore the seruantes of Dauid returned by their way, and returning came and told him al the wordes that he had said.Regressi sunt itaque pueri David per viam suam, et reversi venerunt, et nuntiaverunt ei omnia verba quæ dixerat. 13Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men, and two hundred remained with the baggage.Allora disse David alla sua gente: Si cinga ognuno la sua spada. E ognun se la cinse, e David parimente si cinse la sua spada: e andarono con David circa quattrocento uomini; e rimasero dugento al bagaglio.Then sayd Dauid to his seruantes: Euery man gird him with his sworde. And they were euery one girded with their swordes. And Dauid also was girded with his sworde: and there folowed Dauid about foure hundred men: moreouer two hundred remayned at the baggage.Tunc ait David pueris suis: Accingatur unusquisque gladio suo. Et accincti sunt singuli gladiis suis, accinctusque est et David ense suo: et secuti sunt David quasi quadringenti viri: porro ducenti remanserunt ad sarcinas. 14But one of the servants told, Abigail, the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.Ma uno de' servi di Nabal recò alla moglie di lui Abigail questo avviso, e disse: Sappi che David t'ha mandato dal deserto alcuni uomini a salutare il nostro padrone: e questi non gli ha guardati in viso.But to Abigail the wife of Nabal one of their seruantes told, saying: Behold Dauid hath sent messengers from the desert, to blesse our maister. & he disdayned them:Abigail autem uxori Nabal nuntiavit unus de pueris suis, dicens: Ecce David misit nuntios de deserto, ut benedicerent domino nostro: et aversatus est eos.

15These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: Neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert.Questa gente è stata assai benigna verso di noi, e non ci ha inquietati, e non è mancato mai nulla per tutto il tempo che siamo stati con loro nel deserto,these men were good ynough to vs, and not trublesome: neither did euer any thing perish al the time, that we haue couuerst with them in the desert:Homines isti boni satis fuerant nobis, et non molesti: nec quidquam aliquando periit omni tempore quo fuimus conversati cum eis in deserto: 16They were a wall unto us, both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.Erano per noi come una muraglia tanto di giorno, come di notte per tutto il tempo che siamo stati con loro pascendo i greggi.they were in steed of a wal to vs both in the day and in the night, al the dayes that we fed the flockes with them.pro muro erant nobis tam in nocte quam in die, omnibus diebus quibus pavimus apud eos greges. 17Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him.Per la qual cosa pensa tu, e rifletti a quel che abbi da fare: perocché è matura la perdizione pel tuo marito, e per la tua casa, ed egli è un figliuolo di Befial, e nissuno può parlargli.Wherefore consider, & thinke what thou hast to doe, for malice is accomplished against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is the sonne of Belial, so that no man can speake to him.Quam ob rem considera, et recogita quid facias: quoniam completa est malitia adversum virum tuum, et adversum domum tuam, et ipse est filius Belial, ita ut nemo possit ei loqui. 18Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses:Abigail adunque si affrettò, e prese dugento pani, e due otri di vino, e cinque arieti cotti, e cinque misure di farina d'orzo, e cento penzoli di uva secca, e dugento panieri di fichi secchi, e caricò (il tutto) sopra gli asini.Abigail therefore made hast, and tooke two hundred loaues, and two bottels of wine, and fiue muttons ready drest, and fiue measures of polent, and a hundred branches of raysens, and two hundred mases of drie figges, and laid them vpon asses:Festinavit igitur Abigail, et tulit ducentos panes, et duos utres vini, et quinque arietes coctos, et quinque sata polentæ, et centum ligaturas uvæ passæ, et ducentas massas caricarum, et posuit super asinos:

19And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold, I will follow after you: but she told not her husband, Nabal.E disse a' suoi servi: Andate innanzi, e io verrò appresso a voi; ma non disse nulla al marito suo Nabal.and said to her seruantes: Goe before me: loe, I wil folow you at your backe: but she told not her husband Nabal.dixitque pueris suis: Præcedite me: ecce ego post tergum sequar vos: viro autem suo Nabal non indicavit. 20And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them.Quando adunque ella fu salita sull'asino, e scendeva alle falde del monte, David colla sua gente le veniva di contro: ed ella si avanzò verso di loro.When she therefore had gotten vpon an asse, and came downe to the foote of the mountaine, Dauid and his men came downe meeting her, whom she also mette.Cum ergo ascendisset asinum, et descenderet ad radices montis, David et viri ejus descendebant in occursum ejus: quibus et illa occurrit. 21And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this fellow in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.E Davidde diceva: Veramente invano ho io salvato tutta la roba di colui nel deserto; e non perì nulla di quel che era suo, ed ei mi ha renduto male per bene.And Dauid said: In vaine veryly haue I preserued al thinges that were this mans in the desert, and there perished nothing of al that perteined to him: and he hath rendred me euil for good.Et ait David: Vere frustra servavi omnia quæ hujus erant in deserto, et non periit quidquam de cunctis quæ ad eum pertinebant: et reddidit mihi malum pro bono. 22May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.Il Signore faccia questo, e peggio a' nemici di David, se di tutti quelli che a lui appartengono, io lascerò vivo fino a domani un cane.These thinges doe God to the enemies of Dauid, and these thinges adde he, if I shal leaue of al thinges that perteine to him vntil morning, any thing pissing against the wal.Hæc faciat Deus inimicis David, et hæc addat, si reliquero de omnibus quæ ad ipsum pertinent usque mane mingentem ad parietem. 23And when Abigail saw David, she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon the ground.Abigail veduto che ebbe David, sceso in fretta dall'asino, e si gettò boccone dinanzi a David per terra, e lo adorò.And when Abigail had seene Dauid, she made hast, and light from her asse, and fel downe before Dauid vpon her face, and adored vpon the earth,Cum autem vidisset Abigail David, festinavit, et descendit de asino, et procidit coram David super faciem suam, et adoravit super terram,

24And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears, and hear the words of thy servant.E prostrata a' suoi piedi disse: A me s'imputi, signor mio, questa iniquità: sia lecito, te ne prego, alla tua serva di parlare: e presta orecchio a quel che dice la tua schiava.and fel at his feete, and sayd: In me my lord be this iniquitie: let thy handmayde speake I besech thee in thine eares: and heare the wordes of thy seruant.et cecidit ad pedes ejus, et dixit: In me sit, domine mi, hæc iniquitas: loquatur, obsecro, ancilla tua in auribus tuis, et audi verba famulæ tuæ. 25Let not my lord the king, I pray thee, regard this naughty man, Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I, thy handmaid, did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.Non far caso, ti prego, signor mio re, di quell'iniquo uomo di Nabal: perchè egli è stolto, come porta il suo nome, e la stoltezza lo domina. Io poi tua serva non vidi gli uomini mandati da te, signor mio.Let not my lord the king I pray thee, set his hart vpon this naughtie man Nabal: because according to his name, he is a foole, and follie is with him: but I thy handmaide sawe not thy seruantes my lord, whom thou didst send.Ne ponat, oro, dominus meus rex cor suum super virum istum iniquum Nabal: quoniam secundum nomen suum stultus est, et stultitia est cum eo: ego autem ancilla tua non vidi pueros tuos, domine mi, quos misisti. 26Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.Ma adesso, signor mio, viva il Signore, e viva l'anima tua, egli ti ha impedito di spargere il sangue, ed egli ha trattenuta la tua mano. Sieno adesso come Nabal i tuoi nemici, e que' che cercan di nuocere al mio signore.Now therefore my lord, our Lord liueth, and thy soule liueth, who hath stayed thee that thou shouldest not come vnto blood, and hath saued thy hand to thee: and now be thine enemies as Nabal, and they that seeke euil to my lord.Nunc ergo, domine mi, vivit Dominus, et vivit anima tua, qui prohibuit te ne venires in sanguinem, et salvavit manum tuam tibi: et nunc fiant sicut Nabal inimici tui, et qui quærunt domino meo malum. 27Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord.Per la qual cosa accetta la benedizione portata dalla tua serva a te signor mio: e dalla a' servi che vengono dietro a te signore mio.Wherefore receiue this benediction, which thy handmaide hath brought to thee my lord: and geue to thy seruantes that folow thee my lord.Quapropter suscipe benedictionem hanc, quam attulit ancilla tua tibi domino meo, et da pueris qui sequuntur te dominum meum.

28Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.Rimetti alla tua serva questo peccato: imperocché sicuramente il Signore formerà per te, signor mio, una casa permanente, perchè tu, signor mio, pel Signore combatti: non sia adunque in te colpa veruna in tutto il tempo della tua vita.Take away the iniquitie of thy handmaide: for our Lord making wil make to my lord a faithful house, because thou my lord doest fight the battels of our Lord: let not malice therefore be found in thee al the dayes of thy life.Aufer iniquitatem famulæ tuæ: faciens enim faciet Dominus tibi domino meo domum fidelem, quia prælia Domini, domine mi, tu præliaris: malitia ergo non inveniatur in te omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ. 29For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.Perocché se mai venisse alcuno a perseguitarti, e cercasse di levarti la vita, sarà l'anima del signor mio custodita nella serie de' viventi presso il Signore Dio tuo: ma l'anima de' tuoi nemici sarà agitata, come in un impetuoso girar di fionda.For if a man shal rise, persecuting thee, and seeking thy life, the life of my lord shal be kept, as in the bundel of the liuing, with our Lord thy God: Moreouer the life of thine enemies shal be whurled, and in the violence, and whurle of a sling.Si enim surrexerit aliquando homo persequens te, et quærens animam tuam, erit anima domini mei custodita quasi in fasciculo viventium apud Dominum Deum tuum: porro inimicorum tuorum anima rotabitur, quasi in impetu et circulo fundæ. 30And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel,Quando adunque il Signore avrà dati a te, signor mio, tutti que' beni, che ho predetto in favor tuo, e ti avrà costituito capo d'Israele,When our Lord therefore shal doe to thee, my lord, al good thinges, which he hath spoken concerning thee, and shal constitute thee prince ouer Israel,Cum ergo fecerit Dominus tibi domino meo omnia quæ locutus est bona de te, et constituerit te ducem super Israël, 31This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.Non avrai tu, signor mio, questo rimorso, e questo peso al tuo cuore di avere sparso il sangue innocente, o di esserti vendicato da te stesso. E quando il Signore avrà dato del bene a te, signor mio, ti ricorderai della tua serva.this shal not be an occasion of sobbing to thee, and a scruple of hart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or thy selfe hast reuenged thy selfe: and when our Lord hath bestowed these benefites vpon my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaide.non erit tibi hoc in singultum, et in scrupulum cordis domino meo, quod effuderis sanguinem innoxium, aut ipse te ultus fueris: et cum benefecerit Dominus domino meo, recordaberis ancillæ tuæ.

32And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:E David disse ad Abigail: Benedetto il Signore Dio d'Israele, il quale ti ha oggi mandata incontro a me, e benedetto il tuo parlare.And Dauid sayd to Abigail: Blessed be our Lord the God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day to meete me, and blessed be thy speach,Et ait David ad Abigail: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui misit hodie te in occursum meum, et benedictum eloquium tuum, 33And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to day from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.E benedetta tu, la quale mi hai oggi impedito dallo spargere il sangue, e dal vendicarmi di mia mano.and blessed be thou, which hast stayed me to day, that I might not goe to blood, and reuenge me with myn owne hand.et benedicta tu, quæ prohibuisti me hodie ne irem ad sanguinem, et ulciscerer me manu mea. 34Otherwise, as the Lord liveth, the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil, if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light, any that pisseth against the wall.Altrimenti (viva il Signore Dio d'Israele, che mi ha proibito di farti del male) se tu non fossi prontamente venuta incontro a me, non sarebbe rimaso di qui al mattino un cane di Nabal.Otherwise our Lord liueth the God of Israel, who hath staied me, that I should not doe thee any euil: vnles thou hadst quickely come to meete me, there had not remained to Nabal vntil morning light, any pissing against a wal.Alioquin vivit Dominus Deus Israël, qui prohibuit me ne malum facerem tibi: nisi cito venisses in occursum mihi, non remansisset Nabal usque ad lucem matutinam mingens ad parietem. 35And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and honoured thy face.Quindi ricevè Davidde dalle mani di lei tutto quello che ella avea portato, e dissele: Vattene in pace a casa tua: tu vedi com'io ti ho esaudita, e ho avuto riguardo per te.And Dauid tooke of her hand al thinges which she had brought him, and said to her: Goe peaceable into thy house, behold I haue heard thy voice, and haue honoured thy face.Suscepit ergo David de manu ejus omnia quæ attulerat ei, dixitque ei: Vade pacifice in domum tuam: ecce audivi vocem tuam, et honoravi faciem tuam. 36And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king: and Nabal’s heart was merry, for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.E Abigail tornò a casa di Nabal, e vide com'egli faceva banchetto in sua casa, quasi banchetto da re, e il cuore di Nabal era nell'allegria: perchè egli era zeppo di vino: ed ella non gli parlò, nè poco nè molto sino alla mattina.And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, as it were the feast of a king, and Nabals hart was pleasant: for he was drunke excedingly: and she told him not a word little or great vntil morning.Venit autem Abigail ad Nabal: et ecce erat ei convivium in domo ejus quasi convivium regis, et cor Nabal jucundum: erat enim ebrius nimis: et non indicavit ei verbum pusillum aut grande usque mane.

37But early in the morning, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.Ma allo spuntar del dì avendo Nabal digerito il suo vino, la moglie diede a lui parte di quel che era stato, e si freddò a lui il cuore, ed ei rimase come un sasso.But early when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these wordes, and his hart was dead inwardly, and he became as a stone.Diluculo autem cum digessisset vinum Nabal, indicavit ei uxor sua verba hæc: et emortuum est cor ejus intrinsecus, et factus est quasi lapis. 38And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.E di lì a dieci giorni il Signore punì Nabal, e si morì.And when ten dayes had passed, our Lord stroke Nabal, and he died.Cumque pertransissent decem dies, percussit Dominus Nabal, et mortuus est. 39And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife.E David avendo udito come era morto Nabal, disse: Benedetto il Signore, il quale ha giudicato la causa degl'insulti fattimi da Nabal, e ha preservato il suo servo dal fare del male, e la malizia di Nabal l'ha fatta il Signore ricadere sulla sua testa. E David mandò a parlare ad Abigail per prenderla in moglie.Which when Dauid had heard that Nabal was dead, he sayd: Blessed be our Lord, who hath iudged the cause of my reproch at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his seruant from euil, and the malice of Nabal hath our Lord rendred vpon his head. Dauid therefore sent, and spake to Abigail, that he might take her to himselfe to wife.Quod cum audisset David mortuum Nabal, ait: Benedictus Dominus, qui judicavit causam opprobrii mei de manu Nabal, et servum suum custodivit a malo, et malitiam Nabal reddidit Dominus in caput ejus. Misit ergo David, et locutus est ad Abigail, ut sumeret eam sibi in uxorem. 40And David’s servants came to Abigail, to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.E andarono i messi di David a trovare Abigail sul Carmelo, e le parlarono, e dissero: David ci ha mandati a te, perchè vuol prenderti in moglie.And Dauids seruantes came to Abigail into Carmel, and spake to her, saing: Dauid hath sent vs vnto thee, to take thee to his wife.Et venerunt pueri David ad Abigail in Carmelum, et locuti sunt ad eam, dicentes: David misit nos ad te, ut accipiat te sibi in uxorem.

41And she arose, and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.Ed ella alzatasi s'inchinò fino a toccar terra, e disse: Sia pure la tua serva in luogo di schiava per lavare i piedi de' servi del mio signore.Who arising adored flat toward the earth, and sayd: Loe let thy seruant be as an handmaide, to wash the feete of the seruantes of my lord.Quæ consurgens, adoravit prona in terram, et ait: Ecce famula tua sit in ancillam, ut lavet pedes servorum domini mei. 42And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.E Abigail si mosse in fretta, e montò sull'asino, e andarono con lei cinque fanciulle che la servivano, e seguì i messi di David, e divenne sua moglie.And Abigail arose, and made hast, and gatte vpon an asse, and fiue wemen went with her waiting maides, and folowed the messengers of Dauid, and became his wife.Et festinavit, et surrexit Abigail, et ascendit super asinum, et quinque puellæ ierunt cum ea, pedissequæ ejus, et secuta est nuntios David: et facta est illi uxor. 43Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives.David parimente prese Achinoam (che era) di Jezrael: e furono l'una, e l'altra sue consorti.Yea and Achinoam also did Dauid take of Iezrahel: and both were his wiues.Sed et Achinoam accepit David de Jezraël: et fuit utraque uxor ejus. 44But Saul gave Michol, his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallim.E Saul diede la sua figlia Michol moglie di David, a Phalti figliuolo di Lais, che era di Gallim.But Saul gaue Michol his daughter Dauids wife to Phalti, the sonne of Lais, who was of Gallim.Saul autem dedit Michol filiam suam, uxorem David, Phalti filio Lais, qui erat de Gallim.
