4 — 1 Re (1 Samuele)

1And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,Or avvenne in quel tempo che si raunarono i Filistei per far guerra: e Israele uscì in campo per andar incontro a' Filistei, e combattergli, e pose gli alloggiamenti vicino alla Pietra del soccorso. E i Filistei giunsero ad Aphec,AND it came to passe in those daies, the Philisthijms assembled together to fight: and Israel went forth to meete the Philisthims into battle, & camped beside the Stone of helpe. Moreouer the Philisthijms came into Aphec,Et factum est in diebus illis, convenerunt Philisthiim in pugnam: et egressus est Israël obviam Philisthiim in prælium, et castrametatus est juxta lapidem Adjutorii. Porro Philisthiim venerunt in Aphec, 2And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines: and there were slain in that fight, here and there in the fields, about four thousand men.E ordinaron l'esercito in faccia ad Israele. E venuti che furono a battaglia, Israele voltò le spalle a' Filistei, e furono trucidati in conflitto qua e là per i campi circa quattro mila uomini.and put their armie in aray against Israel. And after they had ioyned battle, Israel turned their backes to the Philisthims: and there were slaine in the fight here and there through the fieldes, as it were foure thousand men.et instruxerunt aciem contra Israël. Inito autem certamine, terga vertit Israël Philisthæis: et cæsa sunt in illo certamine passim per agros, quasi quatuor millia virorum. 3And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.E tornato il popolo negli alloggiamenti, dissero i seniori d'Israele: Per qual motivo il Signore ci ha egli oggi malmenati in faccia ai Filistei? Meniamo tra noi da Silo l'arca del testamento del Signore, ed ella venga in mezzo a noi, affinchè ci salvi dalle mani de' nostri nemici.And the people returned to the campe: and the ancientes of Israel said: Why hath our Lord stricken vs to day before the Philisthijms? Let vs fetch vnto vs the arke of the couenant of our Lord from Silo, and let it come into the middes of vs, that it may saue vs from the hand of our enemies.Et reversus est populus ad castra: dixeruntque majores natu de Israël: Quare percussit nos Dominus hodie coram Philisthiim ? afferamus ad nos de Silo arcam fœderis Domini, et veniat in medium nostri, ut salvet nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum. 4So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.Il popolo adunque spedì gente a Silo, e di là portarono l'arca del testamento del Signore degli eserciti, il quale siede sopra i Cherubini: e i due figliuoli di Heli, Ophni, e Phinees, seguivano l'arca del testamento di Dio.The people therefore sent into Silo, and they tooke from thence the arke of the couenant of the Lord of hostes sitting vpon the Cherubims: and the two sonnes of Heli were with the arke of the couenant of God, Ophni and Phinees.Misit ergo populus in Silo, et tulerunt inde arcam fœderis Domini exercituum sedentis super cherubim: erantque duo filii Heli cum arca fœderis Dei, Ophni et Phinees.

5And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.E allorché arrivò l'arca del testamento del Signore negli alloggiamenti, sclamò tutto Israele con alte grida, e ne rimbombò la terra.And when the arke of the couenant of our Lord was come into the campe, al Israel made a shoute with a great crie, and the earth sounded.Cumque venisset arca fœderis Domini in castra, vociferatus est omnis Israël clamore grandi, et personuit terra. 6And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.E i Filistei udirono le alte grida, e dissero: Qual rumore, e schiamazzo grande è quel che si sente nel campo degli Ebrei? E intesero, com'era arrivata l'arca del Signore negli alloggiamenti.And the Philisthims heard the voice of the crie, and said: What is this voice of a great crie in the campe of the Hebrewes? And they knewe that the arke of our Lord was come into the campe.Et audierunt Philisthiim vocem clamoris, dixeruntque: Quænam est hæc vox clamoris magni in castris Hebræorum ? Et cognoverunt quod arca Domini venisset in castra. 7And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:E i Filistei s'impaurirono, e dicevano: È venuto Dio ne' loro alloggiamenti. E sospiravano, dicendo:And the Philisthijms were afrayd, saing: God is come into the campe. And they mourned, saing:Timueruntque Philisthiim, dicentes: Venit Deus in castra. Et ingemuerunt, dicentes: 8Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday, and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high Gods? these are the Gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.Guai a noi: perocché coloro non erano tanto allegri ieri, nè ieri l'altro: guai a noi. Chi ci salverà dalle mani di questi dei eccelsi? questi sono gli dei che fiaccaron l'Egitto con ogni sorta di sciagure presso al deserto.Woe to vs: for there was not so great reioysing yesterday and the day before: woe to vs. Who shal keepe vs from the hand of these high Goddes? these be the Goddes, that stricke Aegypt with al plague, in the desert.Væ nobis: non enim fuit tanta exultatio heri et nudiustertius: væ nobis. Quis nos salvabit de manu deorum sublimium istorum ? hi sunt dii, qui percusserunt Ægyptum omni plaga in deserto. 9Take courage, and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.Fatevi cuore, o Filistei, e siate uomini per non essere servi degli Ebrei, come questi sono stati servi vostri: fatevi cuore, e pugnate.Take courage, and be men, ye Philisthijms: lest you be seruantes to the Hebrewes, as they also haue ferued you: take courage and fight.Confortamini, et estote viri, Philisthiim, ne serviatis Hebræis, sicut et illi servierunt vobis: confortamini, et bellate.

10So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.Combatteron pertanto i Filistei, e Israele fu sconfitto, e se ne fuggì ciascuno alla sua tenda, e la rotta fu grande formisura: e perirono degl'Israeliti trenta mila pedoni.The Philisthijms therfore fought, and Israel was slaine, and euerie man fled into his tabernacle: and there was made an exeeding great plague: and there fel of Israel thirtie thousand footemen.Pugnaverunt ergo Philisthiim, et cæsus est Israël, et fugit unusquisque in tabernaculum suum: et facta est plaga magna nimis, et ceciderunt de Israël triginta millia peditum. 11And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.E fu presa l'arca di Dio: e anche i due figliuoli di Heli, Ophni, e Phinees, furono uccisi.And the arke of God was taken: the two sonnes also of Heli died, Ophni and Phinees.Et arca Dei capta est: duo quoque filii Heli mortui sunt, Ophni et Phinees. 12And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.E un uomo di Beniamin fuggito dalla battaglia arrivò a Silo lo stesso giorno colla veste stracciata, e la testa coperta di polvere.And a man of Beniamin running out of the battle aray, came into Silo that day, his garment rent, and sprinkled on his head with dust.Currens autem vir de Benjamin ex acie, venit in Silo in die illa, scissa veste, et conspersus pulvere caput. 13And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way, watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.E all'arrivo di lui Heli era assiso sopra una seggiola guardando verso la strada. Perocché il suo cuore era pien di timore per l'arca di Dio. E giunto quell'uomo portò la nuova nella città: e tutta la città si diede ad urlare.And when he was come, Heli sate vpon a stoole ouer against the way looking. For his hart was fearful for the arke of God. And that man after he was entred in, told it to the citie: and al the citie howled.Cumque ille venisset, Heli sedebat super sellam contra viam spectans. Erat enim cor ejus pavens pro arca Dei. Vir autem ille postquam ingressus est, nuntiavit urbi: et ululavit omnis civitas. 14And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.Ed Heli udì lo strepito delle grida, e disse: Che significa questo romore, e turbamento? Ma quegli in fretta arrivò, e diede ad Heli la nuova.And Heli heard the sound of the crie, and said: What is this sound of this same tumult? But he hastened, and came, and told Heli.Et audivit Heli sonitum clamoris, dixitque: Quis est hic sonitus tumultus hujus ? At ille festinavit, et venit, et nuntiavit Heli.

15Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.Or Heli avea novant'otto anni, e gli occhi di lui erano ottenebrati, e non potea più vedere.And Heli was nintie and eight yeares old, and his eyes were dimme, and he could not see.Heli autem erat nonaginta et octo annorum, et oculi ejus caligaverant, et videre non poterat. 16And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?E quegli disse ad Heli: Son io che vengo dalla battaglia, e io che oggi sono fuggito dal conflitto. Ed Heli gli disse: Che è avvenuto, figliuol mio?And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and I he that fled out of the field this day. To whom he said: What is done my sonne?Et dixit ad Heli: Ego sum qui veni de prælio, et ego qui de acie fugi hodie. Cui ille ait: Quid actum est, fili mi ? 17And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.Rispose l'uomo che portava la nuova: Israele ha volte le spalle a' Filistei, e grande è stata la strage del popolo: e oltre a questo sono morti anche i due tuoi figliuoli, Ophni, e Phinees, ed è stata presa l'arca di Dio.And he brought the newes answering: Israel, quoth he, is fled before the Philisthijms, and a great ruine is made in the people: moreouer also thy two sonnes are dead, Ophni and Phinees: and the arke of God is taken.Respondens autem ille qui nuntiabat: Fugit, inquit, Israël coram Philisthiim, et ruina magna facta est in populo: insuper et duo filii tui mortui sunt, Ophni et Phinees, et arca Dei capta est. 18And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: And he judged Israel forty years.Appena quegli ebbe nominata l'arca di Dio, che (Heli) cadde dalla sua sedia all'indietro vicino alla porta, e rottosi il collo morì. Perocché egli era vecchio, e di età decrepita: ed ei fu giudice d'Israele per quarant'anni.And when he had named the arke of God, he fel from his stoole backward beside the doore, & his necke being broken he died. For he was an old man, and of a great age: and he iudged Israel fourtie yeares.Cumque ille nominasset arcam Dei, cecidit de sella retrorsum juxta ostium, et fractis cervicibus mortuus est. Senex enim erat vir et grandævus: et ipse judicavit Israël quadraginta annis. 19And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.E la nuora di lui moglie di Phinees, era gravida e prossima al parto: e udita la nuova dell'arca di Dio presa, e della morte del suo suocero, e del suo marito, si chinò, e partorì: perocché era stata subitamente sorpresa da' dolori.And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinees was great with childe, and nigh to be deliuered: and hearing the reporte that the arke of God was taken, and her father in law was dead, and her husband, she bowed her self and was deliuered: for sudden paynes were fallen vpon her.Nurus autem ejus, uxor Phinees, prægnans erat, vicinaque partui: et audito nuntio quod capta esset arca Dei, et mortuus esset socer suus et vir suus, incurvavit se et peperit: irruerant enim in eam dolores subiti.

20And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.E nel punto stesso, in cui ella moriva, le dissero quelle che le stavan d'intorno: Fatti animo; tu hai partorito un figliuolo. Ma ella non diede loro risposta, nè vi fece attenzione.And in the very moment of her death, they said to her that stoode about her: Feare not because thou hast borne a sonne. Who answered them not, nor gaue heede to it.In ipso autem momento mortis ejus, dixerunt ei quæ stabant circa eam: Ne timeas, quia filium peperisti. Quæ non respondit eis, neque animadvertit. 21And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and for her husband:E al bambino diede il nome d'Ichabod, dicendo: È passata la gloria d'Israele: a motivo dell'essere stata presa l'arca di Dio, e per riflesso al suo suocero e al suo marito.And she called the childe Ichabod, saing: The glorie is translated from Israel, because the arke of God is taken, and for her father in law, and for her husband;Et vocabit puerum Ichabod, dicens: Translata est gloria de Israël, quia capta est arca Dei, et pro socero suo et pro viro suo; 22And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.Ma ella disse: È passata la gloria d'Israele: per essere stata presa l'arca di Dio.and she said: The glorie is translated from Israel, for that the arke of God was taken.et ait: Translata est gloria ab Israël, eo quod capta esset arca Dei.
