1 — 2 Re (2 Samuele)

1Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg.Or egli avvenne che essendo già morto Saul, David, disfatti gli Amaleciti, tornò a Siceleg, dove era da due giorni.AND it came to passe, after that Saul was dead, that Dauid returned from the slaughter of Amalec, and taryed in Siceleg two dayes.Factum est autem, postquam mortuus est Saul, ut David reverteretur a cæde Amalec, et maneret in Siceleg duos dies. 2And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul’s camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.Quando il terzo giorno comparve un uomo che veniva dal campo di Saul colla veste stracciata, col capo sparso di polvere, e accostatosi a David si prostrò colla faccia per terra, e lo adorò:And in the third day there appeared a man coming out of Sauls campe, his garments torne, and sprinkled on the head with dust, and as he came to Dauid, he fel vpon his face, and adored.In die autem tertia apparuit homo veniens de castris Saul veste conscissa, et pulvere conspersus caput: et ut venit ad David, cecidit super faciem suam, et adoravit. 3And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel.E David gli disse: Donde vieni? E quegli disse: Dal campo d'Israele sono fuggito.And Dauid said vnto him: Whence comest thou? Who said to him: I fledde out of the campe of Israel.Dixitque ad eum David: Unde venis ? Qui ait ad eum: De castris Israël fugi. 4And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me: He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.E David disse a lui: Che è egli avvenuto? dimmelo. E quegli rispose: Il popolo è fuggito dalla battaglia, e molti del popolo sono morti: e anche Saul, e Gionata suo figliuolo son morti.And Dauid said vnto him: What is the matter that is done? tel me. Who said: The people is fled out of the battel, and many of the people are ouerthrowen and dead: yca Saul also and Ionathas his sonne are dead.Et dixit ad eum David: Quod est verbum quod factum est ? indica mihi. Qui ait: Fugit populus ex prælio, et multi corruentes e populo mortui sunt: sed et Saul et Jonathas filius ejus interierunt. 5And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?E David disse a quel giovane, che raccontava tali cose: Come sai tu che sia morto Saul, e Gionata suo figliuolo?And Dauid said to the yong man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul is dead, and Ionathas his sonne?Dixitque David ad adolescentem qui nuntiabat ei: Unde scis quia mortuus est Saul, et Jonathas filius ejus ?

6And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him,E quel giovane disse: Io era casualmente arrivato sul monte Gelboe, quando Saul si gettò sulla punta della sua lancia: e si appressavano de' cocchi, e dei cavalieri.And the young man that told him, sayd: By chance I came into mount Gelboe, and Saulleaned vpon his speare: moreouer the chariots and horsemen approched vnto him,Et ait adolescens qui nuntiabat ei: Casu veni in montem Gelboë, et Saul incumbebat super hastam suam: porro currus et equites appropinquabant ei, 7And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I.E rivoltosi indietro, e vedendomi, mi chiamò. E avendogli io risposto: Eccomi:and turning backward, and seing me he called. To whom when I had answered, here I am:et conversus post tergum suum, vidensque me, vocavit. Cui cum respondissem: Adsum: 8And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite.Disse egli a me: Chi sei tu? E io dico a lui: Sono un Amalecita.he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite,dixit mihi: Quisnam es tu ? Et aio ad eum: Amalecites ego sum. 9And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me.Ed egli mi disse: Sta sopra di me, e uccidimi; perocché sono oppresso di affanno, e sono tuttora pieno di vita.And he said to me: Stand vpon me, and kil me: because anguishes hold me, and as yet al my life is in me.Et locutus est mihi: Sta super me, et interfice me: quoniam tenent me angustiæ, et adhuc tota anima mea in me est. 10So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to thee, my lord.E standogli sopra lo uccisi, ben sapendo come non potea vivere dopo tal rovina: e presi il diadema che avea in testa, e lo smaniglio che avea al suo braccio, e gli ho portati qua a te mio signore.And standing vpon him, I killed him for I knewe that he could not liue after the fal: and I tooke the Diademe that was on his head, & the bracelette from his arme, and haue brought to thee my lord hither.Stansque super eum, occidi illum: sciebam enim quod vivere non poterat post ruinam: et tuli diadema quod erat in capite ejus, et armillam de brachio illius, et attuli ad te dominum meum huc. 11Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.Ma David, prese le sue vesti, stracciolle, e (similmente) tutti quelli che eran con lui,And Dauid taking his garments rent them, and al the men that were with him,Apprehendens autem David, vestimenta sua scidit, omnesque viri qui erant cum eo,

12And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.E si battevano il petto e piangevano, e digiunaron fino alla sera a causa di Saul, e di Gionata suo figliuolo, e del popolo del Signore, e della casa d'Israele, perchè eran periti di spada.and they mourned, and wept, and fasted vntil euening vpon Saul and vpon Ionathas his sonne, and vpon the people of our Lord, and vpon the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.et planxerunt, et fleverunt, et jejunaverunt usque ad vesperam super Saul, et super Jonathan filium ejus, et super populum Domini, et super domum Israël, eo quod corruissent gladio. 13And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalec.Disse poi David al giovane, che aveagli recata la nuova: Donde se' tu? E quegli rispose: Son figliuolo di un uomo forestiero Amalecita.And Dauid said to the yong man that had told him: Whence art whou? Who answered: I am the sonne of a man a stranger of Amalec.Dixitque David ad juvenem qui nuntiaverat ei: Unde es tu ? Qui respondit: Filius hominis advenæ Amalecitæ ego sum. 14David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to kill the Lord’s anointed?E disse David: Come non hai avuto ribrezzo di stender la tua mano per uccidere il cristo del Signore?Dauid said to him: Why didst thou not feare to put to thy hand, to kil the annointed of our Lord?Et ait ad eum David: Quare non timuisti mittere manum tuam ut occideres christum Domini ? 15And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died.E chiamato uno de' suoi servi, disse David: Vieni qua, gettati sopra costui. Ed ei gli diede il colpo, e colui morì.And Dauid calling one of his seruants said: Goe runne vpon him. Who stroke him, and he died.Vocansque David unum de pueris suis, ait: Accedens irrue in eum. Qui percussit illum, et mortuus est. 16And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord’s anointed.E David disse a lui: Il tuo sangue (sia) sulla tua testa; imperocché la tua bocca ti ha condannato, avendo tu detto: Io ho ucciso il cristo del Signore.And Dauid said to him: Thy bloud be vpon thine owne head: for thyn owne mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I haue slaine the annointed of our Lord.Et ait ad eum David: Sanguis tuus super caput tuum: os enim tuum locutum est adversum te, dicens: Ego interfeci christum Domini. 17And David made this kind of lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son.E David fece questo cantico funebre sopra Saul, e sopra Gionata suo figliuolo.And Dauid mourned this kind of mourning vpon Saul, and vpon Ionathas his sonne, (Planxit autem David planctum hujuscemodi super Saul, et super Jonathan filium ejus

18(Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places.E ordinò che s'insegnasse a' figliuoli di Giuda il cantico dell'arco come nel libro de' Giusti sta scritto. Or egli disse: ripensa, o Israele, a coloro i quali delle lor ferite son morti sopra i tuoi colli.and he commanded that they should teach the children of Iuda the bowe, as it is written in the Booke of the iust.) And he said: Consider, o Israel for them that be dead wounded vpon thy high places.(et præcepit ut docerent filios Juda arcum, sicut scriptum est in libro justorum), et ait: Considera, Israël, pro his qui mortui sunt, / super excelsa tua vulnerati. 19The illustrious of Israel are slain upon thy mountains: how are the valiant fallen?Gli eroi d'Israele sono stati uccisi sopra i tuoi monti: come son eglino morti questi campioni?The Nobles, ô Israel, are slayne vpon thy mountaynes: how are the valiants fallen?Inclyti Israël super montes tuos interfecti sunt: / quomodo ceciderunt fortes ? 20Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.Non si porti tal nuova a Geth, non si porti tal nuova nelle piazze di Ascalona: perchè non ne faccian festa le figliuole de' Filistei, e non esultino le figlie degli incirconcisi.Tel it not in Geth, neither tel ye it in the high waies of Ascalon: lest perhaps the daughters of the Philisthijms be gladde, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised reioice.Nolite annuntiare in Geth, / neque annuntietis in compitis Ascalonis: / ne forte lætentur filiæ Philisthiim; / ne exultent filiæ incircumcisorum. 21Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you, neither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the shield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been anointed with oil.Monti di Gelboe, nè rugiada, nè piova cada sopra di voi, nè campi abbiate, onde offerir si possano le primizie: perocché colà fu gittato per terra lo scudo dei forti, lo scudo di Saul, come se egli non fosse stato unto con olio.Mountaines of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rayne come vpon you, neither be they fields of the first fruits: because there was the shield of the valiantes cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he were not annointed with oyle.Montes Gelboë, nec ros, nec pluvia veniant super vos, / neque sint agri primitiarum: / quia ibi abjectus est clypeus fortium: / clypeus Saul, quasi non esset unctus oleo.

22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the valiant, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.Nel sangue degli uccisi, nelle grasse viscere dei valorosi non ha lasciato mai di saziarsi la freccia di Gionata: la spada di Saul non è mai rientrata nel fodero senza frutto.From the bloud of the slaine, from the fatte of the valiants, the arrowe of Ionathas neuer returned backward, and the sword of Saul did not returne emptie.A sanguine interfectorum, ab adipe fortium, / sagitta Jonathæ numquam rediit retrorsum, / et gladius Saul non est reversus inanis. 23Saul and Jonathan, lovely, and comely in their life, even in death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.Saul, e Gionata amabili, e gloriosi nella lor vita, più veloci dell'aquile, più forti de' leoni, non sono stati divisi neppur nella morte.Saul and Ionathas amiable, and comely in their life, in death also were not diuided: swifter then eagles, stronger then lyons.Saul et Jonathas amabiles, et decori in vita sua, / in morte quoque non sunt divisi: / aquilis velociores, leonibus fortiores. 24Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet in delights, who gave ornaments of gold for your attire.Figlie d'Israele spargete lagrime sopra Saulle, il quale vi rivestiva di delicate vesti di scarlatto, e vi somministrava aurei fregi per adornarvi.Yee daughters of Israel weepe vpon Saul, who clothed you with scarlet in delicaces, who gaue golden ornaments to your attyre.Filiæ Israël, super Saul flete, / qui vestiebat vos coccino in deliciis, / qui præbebat ornamenta aurea cultui vestro. 25How are the valiant fallen in battle? Jonathan slain in the high places?Come mai son eglino caduti i forti nella battaglia? Come mai è stato ucciso Gionata sopra i tuoi monti?How haue the valiantes fallen in battel? Ionathas bene slayne in thy high places?Quomodo ceciderunt fortes in prælio ? / Jonathas in excelsis tuis occisus est ? 26I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and amiable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only son, so did I love thee.Te io piango, o fratello mio, Gionata, bello oltre modo, e amabile più d'ogni amabil fanciulla. In quella guisa che la madre ama l'unico figlio, così io ti amava.I am sorie for thee my brother Ionathas exceeding beautiful, and amiable aboue the loue of wemen. As the mother loueth her onlie sonne, so did I loue thee.Doleo super te, frater mi Jonatha, / decore nimis, et amabilis super amorem mulierum. / Sicut mater unicum amat filium suum, / ita ego te diligebam. 27How are the valiant fallen, and the weapons of war perished?Come mai sono caduti i forti, e le loro armi guerriere si son perdute ?How haue the strong fallen, and the weapons of warre perished?Quomodo ceciderunt robusti, / et perierunt arma bellica ?
