30 — 1 Re (1 Samuele)

1Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire,Allorché David, e la sua gente arrivarono il terzo giorno a Siceleg, gli Amaleciti avean fatto una scorreria dalla parte di mezzodì sino a Siceleg, e aveano presa Siceleg e l'aveano incendiata.AND when Dauid and his men were come to Siceleg the third day, the Amalecites had made an inuasion on the south side into Siceleg, and had strooken Siceleg, and burnt it with fire.Cumque venissent David et viri ejus in Siceleg die tertia, Amalecitæ impetum fecerant ex parte australi in Siceleg, et percusserant Siceleg, et succenderant eam igni. 2And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.E avean menate via prigioniere le donne, e i grandi e i piccoli: e non aveano ucciso nissuno, ma li conducevano con seco, e se n'andavano al loro viaggio.And had led away wemen captiue out of it, from the lesse vnto the great: and had not killed any man, but had led them with them, and went on their iourney.Et captivas duxerant mulieres ex ea, a minimo usque ad magnum: et non interfecerant quemquam, sed secum duxerant, et pergebant itinere suo. 3So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives,Arrivati adunque David, e i suoi alla città, e trovandola incendiata, e menate via prigioniere le loro mogli, e i figli, e le figlie:When Dauid therefore and his men were come to the citie, and had found it burnt with fire, and their wiues, and their sonnes, and their daughters to be led away captiue,Cum ergo venissent David et viri ejus ad civitatem, et invenissent eam succensam igni, et uxores suas, et filios suos et filias, ductas esse captivas, 4David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.Alzaron le strida David, e la gente che era con lui, e piansero a caldi occhi.Dauid and the people that was with him, lifted vp their voices, and mourned til teares fayled them.levaverunt David et populus qui erat cum eo voces suas, et planxerunt donec deficerent in eis lacrimæ. 5For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam, the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.Imperocché anche le due mogli di David erano state fatte prigioniere, Achinoam di Jezrahel, e Abigail vedova di Nabal del Carmelo.For the two wiues also of Dauid were led away captiue, Achinoam the Iezraelite, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.Siquidem et duæ uxores David captivæ ductæ fuerant, Achinoam Jezrahelites, et Abigail uxor Nabal Carmeli.

6And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.E David si afflisse grandemente: perocché il popolo volea lapidarlo, essendo ciascuno amareggiato per ragione de' propri figliuoli, e delle figlie: ma David si confortò nel Signore Dio suo.And Dauid was strooken very sad: for the people would haue stoned him, because the soule of euerie man was bitterly affected vpon their sonnes, and daughters: but Dauid was strengthened in our Lord his God.Et contristatus est David valde: volebat enim eum populus lapidare, quia amara erat anima uniuscujusque viri super filiis suis et filiabus: confortatus est autem David in Domino Deo suo. 7And he said to Abiathar, the priest, the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.E disse ad Abiathar sacerdote, figliuolo di Achimelech: Portami l'Ephod. E Abiathar portò l'Ephod a David:And he sayd to Abiathar the priest the sonne of Achimelech: Applie vnto me the Ephod. And Abiathar applied the Ephod to Dauid,Et ait ad Abiathar sacerdotem filium Achimelech: Applica ad me ephod. Et applicavit Abiathar ephod ad David. 8And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey.E David consultò il Signore, e disse: Darò io dietro a que' ladroni, e li prenderò io, o no? E il Signore gli disse: Va dietro a loro: perocché sicuramente li prenderai, e torrai loro la preda.and Dauid consulted our Lord, saying: Shal I pursue these theeues, and shal I take them or no? And our Lord sayd to him: Pursue them: for thou shalt take them without doubt, & take from them the praye.Et consuluit David Dominum, dicens: Persequar latrunculos hos, et comprehendam eos, an non ? Dixitque ei Dominus: Persequere: absque dubio enim comprehendes eos, et excuties prædam. 9So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some, being weary, stayed there.Andò adunque David, e i secento uomini, che eran con lui, e si avanzarono sino al torrente Besor: ma alcuni si fermarono per la stanchezza.Dauid therefore went himselfe, and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came vnto the Torrent Besor: & some being wearie stayed.Abiit ergo David, ipse et sexcenti viri qui erant cum eo, et venerunt usque ad torrentem Besor: et lassi quidam substiterunt.

10But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who, being weary, could not go over the torrent Besor.David pertanto tirò avanti con quattrocento uomini: perocché rimasero indietro dugento, i quali essendo stanchi non poterono passare il torrente Besor.But Dauid himself, and foure hundred men pursued: for two hundred stayed, who being wearie could not passe the Torrent Besor.Persecutus est autem David ipse, et quadringenti viri: substiterant enim ducenti, qui lassi transire non poterant torrentem Besor. 11And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink,E trovarono nella campagna un Egiziano, e lo menarono a David: diedero a colui pane da mangiare, e acqua da bere,And they found an Aegyptian in the field, and brought him to Dauid: and they gaue him bread to eate, and water to drink,Et invenerunt virum ægyptium in agro, et adduxerunt eum ad David: dederuntque ei panem ut comederet, et biberet aquam, 12As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water, three days and three nights.E parte di un canestro di fichi e due penzoli di uva passa. E quand'egli ebbe mangiato si riebbe, e si ristorò: perocché per tre dì e tre notti non avea mangiato pane; nè bevuto acqua.and also a peece of a masse of drie figges, and two bunches of resinnes. Who when he had eaten, his spirite returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunken water three daies, and three nightes.sed et fragmen massæ caricarum, et duas ligaturas uvæ passæ. Quæ cum comedisset, reversus est spiritus ejus, et refocillatus est: non enim comederat panem, neque biberat aquam, tribus diebus et tribus noctibus. 13And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong; or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite: and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.David allora gli disse: Di chi se' tu? e donde? e dove vai? Rispose quegli: Io sono schiavo Egiziano, e servo un Amalecita: il mio padrone mi ha lasciato, perchè cominciai ad aver male jeri l'altro.Dauid therefore sayd to him. Whose art thou? or whence? and whither goest thou? who sayd: I am a yong man of Aegypt, the seruant of an Amalacite: and my maister hath leift me, because I began to be sicke three daies agone.Dixit itaque ei David: Cujus es tu ? vel unde ? et quo pergis ? Qui ait: Puer ægyptius ego sum, servus viri Amalecitæ: dereliquit autem me dominus meus, quia ægrotare cœpi nudiustertius.

14For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with fire.Imperocché noi abbiam fatta una scorreria nella parte meridionale di Cerethi, e verso Giuda, e al mezzodì di Caleb, e abbiamo incendiata Siceleg.For we brake forth at the south side of Cerethi, and against Iuda, and at the south of Caleb, and burnt Siceleg with fire.Siquidem nos erupimus ad australem plagam Cerethi, et contra Judam, et ad meridiem Caleb, et Siceleg succendimus igni. 15And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? and he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him.E David gli disse: Puoi tu condurmi, dove è quella gente? Disse egli: Giurami per Dio, che non mi ucciderai, e non mi darai nelle mani del mio padrone, e io ti condurrò, dove è quella gente. E Davidde giurò.And Dauid sayd to him: Canst thou bring me to this companie? Who sayd: Sweare to me by God, that thou wilt not kil me, nor deliuer me into the handes of my lord, and I wil bring thee to this companie. And Dauid sware to him.Dixitque ei David: Potes me ducere ad cuneum istum ? Qui ait: Jura mihi per Deum quod non occidas me, et non tradas me in manus domini mei, et ego ducam te ad cuneum istum. Et juravit ei David. 16And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread abroad upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.E quegli avendo a lui fatta la guida, ecco che veggon coloro sdrajati dappertutto sulla terra, che mangiavano, e bevevano, e quasi celebravano un dì festivo per ragion di tutta la preda, e delle spoglie che avean raunate nel paese de' Filistei, e nel paese di Giuda.Who when he had brought them, behold they sate vpon the face of al the earth, eating and drinking, and as it were keping festiual day, for al the praye, and spoiles which they had taken out of the Land of the Philistijms, and out of the Land of Iuda.Qui cum duxisset eum, ecce illi discumbebant super faciem universæ terræ comedentes et bibentes, et quasi festum celebrantes diem, pro cuncta præda et spoliis quæ ceperant de terra Philisthiim et de terra Juda. 17And David slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon camels, and fled.E David diede loro addosso da quella sera sino alla sera del dì seguente, e nissuno scampò, eccettuati quattrocento giovani, i quali saliron sopra i lor cammelli, e si diedero alla fuga.And Dauid stroke them from euening vntil the euening of the next day, and there escaped not anie of them, but foure hundred yong men, which had gotten vpon camels, and were fled.Et percussit eos David a vespere usque ad vesperam alterius diei, et non evasit ex eis quisquam, nisi quadringenti viri adolescentes, qui ascenderant camelos et fugerant.

18So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.Ripigliò pertanto David tutto quel che avean portato via gli Amaleciti, e liberò le sue due mogli.Dauid therefore reskewed al thinges, that the Amalecites had taken, and he reskewed his two wiues.Eruit ergo David omnia quæ tulerant Amalecitæ, et duas uxores suas eruit. 19And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken, David recovered all.E non mancò cosa veruna o piccola, o grande, tanto riguardo a' figliuoli, e alle figliuole, come per riguardo alle spoglie: e David ricondusse tutte le cose che quelli avean portato via.Neither was there anie wanting from litle to great as wel of their sonnes as of their daughters, and of the spoiles, and what thinges soeuer they had taken, Dauid brought al againe.Nec defuit quidquam a parvo usque ad magnum, tam de filiis quam de filiabus, et de spoliis, et quæcumque rapuerant: omnia reduxit David. 20And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David.E prese tutti i greggi e tutto il bestiame grosso, e mandollo avanti a se; e dissero: Questa è la preda di David.And he tooke al the flockes & heardes, and draue them before his face: and they sayd: This is the praye of Dauid.Et tulit universos greges et armenta, et minavit ante faciem suam: dixeruntque: Hæc est præda David. 21And David came to the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people, saluted them peaceably.E andò David verso quei dugento, i quali si eran fermati pella stanchezza, e non avean potuto seguirlo, e ai quali egli avea ordinato di riposarsi presso al torrente Besor: ed eglino andarono incontro a David, e alla gente che era con lui: e David accostatosi a loro li salutò cortesemente.And Dauid came to the two hundred men, which being wearie had staied, neither were able to folow Dauid, and he had bidden them to rest in the Torrent Besor: who came forth to meete Dauid, and the people that were with him. And Dauid coming to the people, saluted them peaceably.Venit autem David ad ducentos viros qui lassi subsisterant, nec sequi potuerant David, et residere eos jusserat in torrente Besor: qui egressi sunt obviam David et populo qui erat cum eo. Accedens autem David ad populum, salutavit eos pacifice. 22Then all the wicked and unjust men, that had gone with David, answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife, and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.E tutti i tristi, e cattivi uomini del numero, che era andato con David, presero a dire: Siccome eglino non son venuti con noi, non darem loro cosa veruna della preda, che abbiam ripresa: basti a ciascun di loro il riavere la sua moglie, e i figliuoli: e avuti questi se ne vadano.And euerie naughtie, and wicked felow of the men, that had gone with Dauid answering, sayd: Because they came not with vs, we wil not geue them anie thing of the praye, which we haue recouered: but let their wife and children suffice euerie man, whom when they haue receiued, let them depart.Respondensque omnis vir pessimus et iniquus de viris qui ierant cum David, dixit: Quia non venerunt nobiscum, non dabimus eis quidquam de præda quam eruimus: sed sufficiat unicuique uxor sua et filii: quos cum acceperint, recedant.

23But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands:Ma David disse: Non fate così, fratelli miei, riguardo alle cose date a noi dal Signore: egli è stato nostro custode, e ha dato nelle nostre mani i ladroni che si eran gettati sopra di noi:But Dauid sayd: You shal not doe so my brethren, of these thinges, which our Lord hath deliuered to vs, and hath kept vs, and hath geuen the theeues, that were broken out against vs, into our handes:Dixit autem David: Non sic facietis, fratres mei, de his quæ tradidit nobis Dominus, et custodivit nos, et dedit latrunculos qui eruperant adversum nos, in manus nostras: 24And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle, and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.E nissuno vi menerà buono questo parlare: perocché egual porzione avrà colui che combatte nella mischia, e colui che rimane al bagaglio, e divideranno con eguaglianza.neither shal anic man heare you vpon this talke. For there shal be equal portion of him that went downe into battel, and of him that abode at the baggage, & they shal diuide alike.nec audiet vos quisquam super sermone hoc: æqua enim pars erit descendentis ad prælium, et remanentis ad sarcinas, et similiter divident. 25And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.E da quel dì in poi fu questo un punto stabilito, e deciso, e quasi legge in Israele sino a questo dì.And this hath beene downe from that day, and euer after it was decreed, and ordained as a law in Israel.Et factum est hoc ex die illa et deinceps, constitutum et præfinitum, et quasi lex in Israël usque in diem hanc. 26Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda, his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord.E David giunse a Siceleg, e della preda mandò doni a' seniori di Giuda suoi parenti, dicendo: Accattate questa benedizione che è parte della preda fatta sopra i nemici del Signore:Dauid therefore came into Siceleg, and sent giftes of the praye to the ancientes of Iuda his neighboures, saying: Take a benediction of the praye of our Lords enemies.Venit ergo David in Siceleg, et misit dona de præda senioribus Juda proximis suis, dicens: Accipite benedictionem de præda hostium Domini: 27To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether.(Ne mandò) a quelli ch'erano a Bethel, e a quei di Ramoth verso mezzodì, e a quelli di Jether.To them, that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth toward the South, and them that were in Gether,his qui erant in Bethel, et qui in Ramoth ad meridiem, et qui in Jether,

28And to them that were in Aroer, and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,E a quelli di Aroer, e a quelli di Sephamoth, e a quelli di Esthamo,and them in Aroer, and them in Sephamoth, and them in Esthamo,et qui in Aroër, et qui in Sephamoth, et qui in Esthamo, 29And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,E a quelli di Rachal, e a quelli delle città di Jerameel, e delle città di Ceni,and them in Rachal, and them in the cities of Ierameel, and them in the cities of Semi,et qui in Rachal, et qui in urbibus Jerameel, et qui in urbibus Ceni, 30And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,E a quelli di Arama, e a quelli del lago di Asan, e a quelli di Atach,and them in Harama, and them in the lake of Asan, and them in Athach,et qui in Arama, et qui in lacu Asan, et qui in Athach, 31And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.E a quelli di Hebron, e a tutti quegli altri che stavano ne' luoghi, dove si era trattenuto David colla sua gente.and them in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in the which Dauid had taried, and his men.et qui in Hebron, et reliquis qui erant in his locis in quibus commoratus fuerat David, ipse et viri ejus.
