6 — 1 Re (1 Samuele)

1Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months.Stette adunque l'arca del Signore nel paese de' Filistei sette mesi.THEREFORE the arke of God was in the country of the Philisthijms seuen monethes.Fuit ergo arca Domini in regione Philisthinorum septem mensibus. 2And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place. And they said:E i Filistei convocarono i sacerdoti e gl'indovini, e dissero: Che dobbiam noi fare dell'arca del Signore? Insegnateci il modo di rimandarla al suo luogo. E quelli dissero:And the Philisthijms called the priestes and soothsaiers, saying: What shal we doe with the arke of the Lord? tel vs how we may send it backe into his place. Who said:Et vocaverunt Philisthiim sacerdotes et divinos, dicentes: Quid faciemus de arca Domini ? indicate nobis quomodo remittamus eam in locum suum. Qui dixerunt: 3If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you.Se voi rimandate l'arca del Dio d'Israele, non la rimandate senza nulla, ma rendete a lui quel che dovete per lo peccato, e allora sarete risanati e conoscerete il perchè la mano di lui non cessi di flagellarvi.If you send back the arke of the God of Israel, send it not away emptie, but that which you owe render vnto it for sinne, and then you shal be cured: and you shal know why his hand departeth not from you.Si remittitis arcam Dei Israël, nolite dimittere eam vacuam, sed quod debetis, reddite ei pro peccato, et tunc curabimini: et scietis quare non recedat manus ejus a vobis. 4They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered:E quelli dissero: Che dobbiam noi rendergli per lo peccato? Essi risposero:Who answered: What is that which we ought to render vnto it for sinne? And they answered:Qui dixerunt: Quid est quod pro delicto reddere debeamus ei ? Responderuntque illi: 5According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice, that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.Farete cinque ani di oro, e cinque topi di oro, secondo il numero delle provincie dei Filistei: perocché una stessa piaga avete sofferta tutti voi, e i vostri satrapi. E voi farete la figura degli ani vostri, e la figura de' topi, i quali han devastata la terra, e darete gloria al Dio d'Israele: e forse egli ritirerà di sopra voi la sua mano, e di sopra gli dei vostri, e le vostre terre.According to the number of the prouinces of the Philisthijms you shal make siue golden emroides, and fiue golden mise because there hath bene one plague to you, and to your princes. And you shal make the similitudes of your emeroides, and the similitudes of the mise, that haue destroied the land, and you shal geue glorie to the God of Israel: if perhaps he wil lighten his hand from you, and from your goddes and from your land.Juxta numerum provinciarum Philisthinorum quinque anos aureos facietis, et quinque mures aureos: quia plaga una fuit omnibus vobis, et satrapis vestris. Facietisque similitudines anorum vestrorum, et similitudines murium, qui demoliti sunt terram: et dabitis Deo Israël gloriam, si forte relevet manum suam a vobis, et a diis vestris, et a terra vestra.

6Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed?Per qual ragione v'indurate voi in cuor vostro, come s'indurò l'Egitto, e Faraone in cuor suo? Non è egli vero, che questi dopo che fu flagellato, allora diede libertà a coloro, ed essi se n'andarono?Why doe you harden your hartes, as Aegypt and Pharao did harden their hart? did not he after he was striken, then dimisse them, and they departed?Quare aggravatis corda vestra, sicut aggravavit Ægyptus et Pharao cor suum ? nonne postquam percussus est, tunc dimisit eos, et abierunt ? 7Now, therefore, take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.Adesso pertanto date di mano all'opera: e fate un carro nuovo, e mettete al carro due vacche che dieno il latte, e che non abbian mai tirato giogo, e chiudete nella stalla le loro rede.Now therfore take and make one new wayne: and two kine hauing calued, on which there hath no yoke beene put, couple in the wayne, and shut vp their calues at home.Nunc ergo arripite et facite plaustrum novum unum: et duas vaccas fœtas, quibus non est impositum jugum, jungite in plaustro, et recludite vitulos earum domi. 8And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box at the side thereof: and send it away, that it may go.E prenderete l'arca del Signore, e la metterete sul carro, e le figure d'oro offerte da voi per lo peccato le metterete in una cassetta accanto ad essa, e poi lasciatela andare.And you shal take the arke of the Lord, and put it in the wayne, and the vessels of gold, which you haue payed him for sinne, you shal put into a litle casket at the side thereof: and dimisse it that it may goe.Tolletisque arcam Domini, et ponetis in plaustro, et vasa aurea quæ exsolvistis ei pro delicto, ponetis in capsellam ad latus ejus: et dimittite eam ut vadat. 9And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts, towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance.E starete osservando: e se prenderà la strada che mena al suo paese, e andrà verso Bethsames, egli è che ha fatto a noi male sì grande: se no, la cosa sarà altrimenti, e noi conosceremo che non la sua mano ci ha percossi, ma è stato un accidente.And you shal looke: and if so be that it shal goe vp by the way of his coastes against Bethsames, he hath donne vs this great euil: but if not: we shal know that his hand hath not touched vs, but it hath happened by chance.Et aspicietis: et si quidem per viam finium suorum ascenderit contra Bethsames, ipse fecit nobis hoc malum grande: sin autem, minime: sciemus quia nequaquam manus ejus tetigit nos, sed casu accidit.

10They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had sucking calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.Quelli adunque fecero in tal guisa: e prese due vacche, che allattavano i loro vitelli, le misero al carro, e chiusero nella stalla i vitelli.They therefore did in this maner: and taking two kine, that had sucking calues, yoked them to the wayne, and shut vp their calues at home.Fecerunt ergo illi hoc modo: et tollentes duas vaccas quæ lactabant vitulos, junxerunt ad plaustrum, vitulosque earum concluserunt domi. 11And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice, and the likeness of the emerods.E misero l'arca di Dio sul carro, e la cassetta contenente i topi d'oro, e le figure degli ani.And they layd the arke of God vpon the wayne, and the litle casket, that had the golden mise and the similitudes of emeroides.Et posuerunt arcam Dei super plaustrum, et capsellam quæ habebat mures aureos et similitudines anorum. 12And the kine took the straight way, that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames.Or le vacche andavano dirittamente per la strada che conduce a Bethsames, e seguivano lo stesso cammino, andando avanti, e muggendo; e non piegavano nè a destra, nè a sinistra; e i satrapi dei Filistei eglino pure andavano lor dietro sino a' confini di Bethsames.And the kine went directly by the way, that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went one way, going forward and lowing: and they declined not neither to the right hand nor to the left: but the princes also of the Philistijms folowed vnto the borders of Bethsames.Ibant autem in directum vaccæ per viam quæ ducit Bethsames, et itinere uno gradiebantur, pergentes et mugientes: et non declinabant neque ad dextram neque ad sinistram: sed et satrapæ Philisthiim sequebantur usque ad terminos Bethsames. 13Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes, they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.Or i Bethsamiti mietevano il grano nella valle, e alzando gli occhi videro l'arca, ed ebbero gran consolazione in vederla.Moreouer the Bethsamites reaped wheat in the valley: and lifting vp their eies, they saw the arke, and were gladde when they had seene it.Porro Bethsamitæ metebant triticum in valle: et elevantes oculos suos, viderunt arcam, et gavisi sunt cum vidissent.

14And the cart came into the field of Josue, a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord.E il carro andò nel campo di Giosuè di Bethsames, e ivi si fermò. E ivi era una gran pietra; e (i Bethsamiti) spezzarono il carro, e sopra il legname di esso misero le vacche in olocausto al Signore.And the wayne came into the field of Iosue the Bethsamite, and stoode there. And there was a great stone, and they did cut the wood of the wayne, and layed the kine vpon it an holocaust to our Lord.Et plaustrum venit in agrum Josue Bethsamitæ, et stetit ibi. Erat autem ibi lapis magnus, et conciderunt ligna plaustri, vaccasque imposuerunt super ea holocaustum Domino. 15And the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord.E i Leviti deposero l'arca di Dio, e la cassetta che erale accanto, nella quale erano le figure d'oro, e la collocarono sopra quella gran pietra. E quelli di Bethsames offerirono quel dì degli olocausti, e immolarono vittime al Signore.And the Leuites tooke downe the arke of God, and the litle casket, that was at the side of it, wherin were the vessels of gold, and they put it vpon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocaustes, and immolated victimes that day to our Lord.Levitæ autem deposuerunt arcam Dei, et capsellam quæ erat juxta eam, in qua erant vasa aurea, et posuerunt super lapidem grandem. Viri autem Bethsamitæ obtulerunt holocausta, et immolaverunt victimas in die illa Domino. 16And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Accaron the same day.E i cinque satrapi dei Filistei videro, e tornaron lo stesso dì ad Accaron.And the fiue princes of the Philistijms saw, and returned into Accaron that day.Et quinque satrapæ Philisthinorum viderunt, et reversi sunt in Accaron in die illa. 17And these are the golden emerods, which the Philistines returned for sin to the Lord: For Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one:Or questi sono gli ani d'oro offerti da' Filistei al Signore per lo peccato; uno per Azoto, uno per Gaza, uno per Ascalon, uno per Geth, uno per Accaron.And these are the golden emeroides, which the Philistijms rendred for sinne to our Lord: Azotus one, Gaza one, Ascalon one, Geth one, Accaron one:Hi sunt autem ani aurei quos reddiderunt Philisthiim pro delicto, Domino: Azotus unum, Gaza unum, Ascalon unum, Geth unum, Accaron unum:

18And the golden mice, according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite.E tanti topi d'oro quante erano le città delle cinque provincie de' Filistei, cominciando dalle città murate sino a' borghi senza muro, e sino ad Abelgrande, sulla quale posarono l'arca del Signore, la quale era in quel giorno nel campo di Giosuè Bethsamita.and the golden mise according to the number of the cities of the Philistijms, of the fiue prouinces, from walled citie vnto towne that was without wal, and vnto Abel the great, wherupon they put the arke of our Lord, which was vntil that day in the field of Iosue the Bethsamite.et mures aureos secundum numerum urbium Philisthiim, quinque provinciarum, ab urbe murata usque ad villam quæ erat absque muro, et usque ad Abelmagnum, super quem posuerunt arcam Domini, quæ erat usque in illum diem in agro Josue Bethsamitis. 19But he slew of the men of Bethsames, because they had seen the ark of the Lord, and he slew of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten the people with a great slaughter.Ma (il Signore) punì gli uomini di Bethsames, perchè aveano guardato l'arca del Signore: e mise a morte settanta uomini del popolo, e cinquanta mila della plebe. E il popolo pianse per avere il Signore percosso la plebe con gran flagello.But he stroke of the men of Bethsames, for that they had seene the arke of our Lord: and he stroke of the people seuentie men, and fiftie thousand of the common people. And the people mourned, because our Lord had striken the common people with a great plague.Percussit autem de viris Bethsamitibus, eo quod vidissent arcam Domini: et percussit de populo septuaginta viros, et quinquaginta millia plebis. Luxitque populus, eo quod Dominus percussisset plebem plaga magna. 20And the men of Bethsames said: Who shall be able to stand before the Lord this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?E gli uomini di Bethsames dissero: Chi potrà stare al cospetto del Signore, di questo Dio santo? E presso di chi andrà egli partendo da noi?And the men of Bethsames sayd: Who shal be able to stand in the sight of our Lord God this holie one? and to whom shal he goe vp from vs?Et dixerunt viri Bethsamitæ: Quis poterit stare in conspectu Domini Dei sancti hujus ? et ad quem ascendet a nobis ? 21And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying: The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, come ye down and fetch it up to you.E spediron messi agli abitanti di Cariath-iarim, che dicesser loro: I Filistei han ricondotta l'arca del Signore: venite, e riportatela nel vostro paese.And they sent messengers to the inhabitantes of Caria Thiarim, saying: The Philistijms haue brought backe the arke of our Lord, come downe & fetch it backe vnto you.Miseruntque nuntios ad habitatores Cariathiarim, dicentes: Reduxerunt Philisthiim arcam Domini: descendite, et reducite eam ad vos.
