Kings II 5
1 And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh.
ALLORA tutte le tribù d'Israele vennero a Davide in Hebron, e [gli] dissero così: Ecco, noi siamo tue ossa e tua carne.
2 And heretofore Saul being king over us, you was he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a leader to my people Israel.
Ed anche per addietro, mentre Saulle era re sopra noi, tu eri quel che conducevi Israele fuori e dentro. E il Signore ti ha detto: Tu pascerai il mio popolo Israele, e sarai il conduttore sopra Israele.
3 And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.
Così tutti gli Anziani d'Israele vennero al re, in Hebron; e il re Davide patteggiò con loro in Hebron, in presenza del Signore. Ed essi unsero Davide per re sopra Israele.
4 David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Davide [era] d'età di trent'anni, quando cominciò a regnare, [e] regnò quarant'anni.
5 Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.
In Hebron regnò sopra Giuda sette anni e sei mesi; ed in Gerusalemme regnò trentatrè anni sopra tutto Israele e Giuda.
6 And David and his men, departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, You shall not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.
Ora il re andò, con la sua gente, in Gerusalemme, contro ai Gebusei che abitavano nel paese; ed essi dissero a Davide: Tu non entrerai qua entro, che tu non [ne] abbia cacciati i ciechi e gli zoppi; volendo dire: Davide non entrerà [mai] qua entro.
7 And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.
Ma Davide prese la fortezza di Sion, che [è] la città di Davide.
8 And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
E Davide disse in quel dì: Chiunque percoterà i Gebusei, e perverrà fino al canale, ed a que' ciechi e zoppi, i quali l'anima di Davide odia, [sarà capitan]o: perciò si dice: Nè cieco nè zoppo non entrerà in questa casa.
9 And David lived in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and [he built] his own house.
E Davide abitò in quella fortezza, e le pose nome: La Città di Davide. E Davide edificò d'intorno dal terrapieno in dentro.
10 And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.
E Davide andava del continuo crescendo, e il Signore Iddio degli eserciti [era] con lui.
11 And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.
Ed Hiram, re di Tiro, mandò a Davide ambasciadori, e legname di cedri, e legnaiuoli, e scarpellini, i quali edificarono una casa a Davide.
12 And David knew that the Lord had prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
E Davide conobbe che il Signore l'aveva stabilito re sopra Israele, e ch'egli avea innalzato il suo regno, per amor del suo popolo Israele.
13 And David took again wives and concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had still more sons and daughters born to him.
E Davide prese ancora delle concubine, e delle mogli di Gerusalemme, dopo ch'egli fu venuto di Hebron; e nacquero ancora a Davide [altri] figliuoli e figliuole.
14 And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon.
E questi [sono] i nomi di quelli che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme: Sammua, e Sobab, e Natan, e Salomone;
15 And Ebear, and Elisue, and Naphec, and Jephies.
e Ibhar, ed Elisua, e Nefeg, e Iafia;
16 And Elisama, and Elidae, and Eliphalath, Samae, Jessibath, Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan, Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.
ed Elisama, ed Eliada, ed Elifelet.
17 And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.
Ora, quando i Filistei ebbero inteso che Davide era stato unto per re sopra Israele, salirono tutti per cercarlo. E Davide, avendolo udito, discese alla fortezza.
18 And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.
Ed i Filistei vennero, e si sparsero nella valle de' Rafei.
19 And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.
Allora Davide domandò il Signore, dicendo: Salirò io contro a' Filistei? me li darai tu nelle mani? E il Signore disse a Davide: Sali; perciocchè io del tutto ti darò i Filistei nelle mani.
20 And David came from Upper Breaches, and struck the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed; therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.
Davide adunque venne in Baal-perasim, e quivi li percosse; poi disse: Il Signore ha rotti i miei nemici davanti a me a giusa d'un trabocco d'acque; perciò pose nome a quel luogo Baal-perasim.
21 And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.
Ed [i Filistei] lasciarono quivi i loro idoli, i quali Davide e la sua gente tolsero via.
22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.
Poi i Filistei salirono di nuovo, e si sparsero nella valle de' Rafei.
23 And David enquired of the Lord: and the Lord said, You shall not go up to meet them: turn from them, and you shall meet them near the place of weeping.
E Davide domandò il Signore, il quale [gli] disse: Non salire; gira dietro a loro, e vienli ad incontrare dirincontro a' gelsi.
24 And it shall come to pass when you hear the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping, then you shall go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before you to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.
E quando tu udirai un romor di calpestio sopra le cime de' gelsi, allora moviti; perciocchè allora il Signore sarà uscito davanti a te, per percuotere il campo de' Filistei.
25 And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
Davide adunque fece così, come il Signore gli avea comandato; e percosse i Filistei, da Gheba fino in Ghezer.
