< 1 Chronicles 11 >

1 Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, and said, Truly, we are your bone and your flesh.

E TUTTO Israele si adunò appresso di Davide in Hebron, dicendo: Ecco, noi [siamo] tue ossa, e tua carne.

2 In the past, when Saul was king, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in; and the Lord your God said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel, and their ruler.

Ed anche per addietro, eziandio mentre Saulle era re, tu [eri] quel che conducevi Israele fuori e dentro; e il Signore Iddio tuo ti ha detto: Tu pascerai il mio popolo Israele, e sarai il conduttore del mio popolo Israele.

3 So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel, as the Lord had said by Samuel.

Essendo adunque venuti tutti gli Anziani d'Israele al re in Hebron, Davide patteggiò quivi con loro, in presenza del Signore; ed essi unsero Davide per re sopra Israele, secondo la parola del Signore [pronunziata] per Samuele.

4 Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (which is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the people of the land, were there.

Poi Davide andò con tutto Israele in Gerusalemme, che [è] Gebus; e quivi [erano] i Gebusei, che abitavano in quel paese.

5 And the people of Jebus said to David, You will not come in here. But still, David took the strong place of Zion, which is the town of David.

E gli abitanti di Gebus dissero a Davide: Tu non entrerai qua entro. Ma Davide prese la fortezza di Sion, che [è] la Città di Davide.

6 And David said, The first to overcome the Jebusites will be chief and captain. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became chief.

Or Davide avea detto: Chiunque percoterà il primo i Gebusei sarà Capo e Capitano. E Ioab, figliuolo di Seruia, salì il primo; onde fu fatto Capo.

7 And David took the strong tower for his living-place, so it was named the town of David.

E Davide abitò in quella fortezza; e perciò ella fu chiamata: La Città di Davide.

8 And he took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo; and Joab put the rest of the town in order.

Ed egli edificò la città d'ogn'intorno, dal terrapieno fino a tutto il ricinto; e Ioab rifece il rimanente della città.

9 And David became greater and greater in power, because the Lord of armies was with him.

E Davide andava del continuo crescendo, e il Signore degli eserciti [era] con lui.

10 Now these are the chief of David's men of war who were his strong supporters in the kingdom, and, with all Israel, made him king, as the Lord had said about Israel.

OR questi [sono] i principali de' prodi di Davide, i quali si portarono valorosamente appresso di lui nel suo regno, con tutto Israele, per farlo re, secondo che il Signore avea promesso ad Israele.

11 This is the list of David's men of war: Ishbaal, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the three: he put to death three hundred at one time with his spear.

E questo [è] il numero de' prodi di Davide: Iasobam, figliuolo di Hacmoni, Capo de' colonnelli; costui mosse la sua lancia contro a trecent'[uomini], e li uccise a una volta.

12 And after him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, who was one of the three great fighters.

E dopo lui, [era] Eleazaro, figliuolo di Dodo, Ahoheo, [il quale] era di que' tre prodi.

13 He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines had come together for the fight, near a bit of land full of barley; and the people went in flight before the Philistines.

Costui si trovò con Davide in Pasdammim, quando i Filistei si erano quivi adunati in battaglia. Or quivi era un campo pieno d'orzo; ed essendo il popolo fuggito d'innanzi a' Filistei,

14 And he took up his position in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack, and overcame the Philistines; and the Lord gave a great salvation.

essi si presentarono [alla battaglia] in mezzo del campo, e lo riscossero, e percossero i Filistei; e il Signore diede una gran vittoria.

15 And three of the thirty went down to David, to the rock, into the strong place of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

Oltre a ciò, questi tre, [ch'erano] capi sopra i trenta, andarono alla rocca, a Davide, nella spelonca di Adullam, essendo il campo de' Filistei posto nella valle de' Rafei.

16 At that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.

E Davide [era] allora nella fortezza, ed i Filistei in quel tempo aveano guernigione in Bet-lehem.

17 And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem by the doorway into the town!

E Davide fu mosso da desiderio, e disse: Chi mi darà a bere dell'acqua della cisterna di Bet-lehem, ch'[è] alla porta?

18 So the three, forcing a way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David; but David would not take it, but made an offering of it, draining it out to the Lord,

E que' tre penetrarono nel campo de' Filistei, ed attinsero dell'acqua della cisterna di Bet-lehem, ch'[è] alla porta; e la portarono, e la presentarono a Davide; ma egli non ne volle bere, anzi la sparse al Signore, e disse:

19 Saying, By my God, far be it from me to do this! How may I take as drink the life-blood of these men who have put their lives in danger? so he did not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

Tolga ciò l'Iddio mio da me, che io faccia questo; berrei io il sangue di questi uomini che [sono andati là] al rischio della lor vita? conciossiachè abbiano recata quest'[acqua] al rischio della lor vita; e non ne volle bere. Queste cose fecero que' tre uomini prodi.

20 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the thirty, for he put to death three hundred with his spear, but he had not a name among the three.

Abisai anch'esso, fratello di Ioab, [era] il principale fra [altri] tre. Esso ancora mosse la sua lancia contro a trecent' [uomini], e li uccise, e fu famoso fra que' tre.

21 Of the thirty, he was the noblest, and was made their captain, but he was not equal to the first three.

Fra que' tre egli era più illustre che i due [altri], e fu lor capo; ma pur non arrivò a quegli [altri] tre.

22 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a fighting-man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death two young lions going into their secret place; and he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow.

[Poi vi era] Benaia, figliuolo di Gioiada, figliuolo d'un uomo valoroso; e [Benaia] avea fatte di gran prodezze, [ed era] da Cabseel. Egli percosse i due Ariel di Moab; scese ancora, e percosse un leone in mezzo d'una fossa, al tempo della neve.

23 And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a very tall man about five cubits high, armed with a spear like a cloth-worker's rod; he went down to him with a stick, and pulling his spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

Egli percosse ancora un uomo Egizio, [il quale era] uomo di grande statura, [cioè], di cinque cubiti. Or quell'Egizio avea in mano una lancia simile ad un subbio di tessitore; ma [Benaia] scese contro a lui con un bastone, e gli strappò la lancia di mano, e l'uccise con la sua propria lancia.

24 These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.

Queste cose fece Benaia, figliuolo di Gioiada, e fu famoso fra i tre prodi.

25 He was honoured over the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three: and David put him over his servants.

Ecco, egli era elevato in dignità sopra i trenta; ma pur non arrivò a quegli [altri] tre. E Davide lo costituì sopra la gente ch'egli avea del continuo a suo comando.

26 And these were the great men of war: Asahel, the brother of Joab, Elhanan, the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,

Poi [vi erano] gli [altri] prodi degli eserciti, [cioè: ] Asael, fratello di Ioab; Elhanan, figliuolo di Dodo, da Bet-lehem;

27 Shammoth the Harodite, Helez the Pelonite,

Sammot Harodita; Heles Pelonita;

28 Ira, the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,
