1 Chronicles 14
1 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.
Hiram, re di Tiro, inviò a Davide de’ messi, del legname di cedro, dei muratori e dei legnaiuoli, per edificargli una casa.
2 And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.
Allora Davide riconobbe che l’Eterno lo stabiliva saldamente come re d’Israele, giacché la sua dignità reale era grandemente esaltata per amore d’Israele, del popolo di Dio.
3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
Davide si prese ancora delle mogli a Gerusalemme, e generò ancora figliuoli e figliuole.
4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
Questi sono i nomi dei figliuoli che gli nacquero a Gerusalemme: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Salomone,
5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
Jbhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Noga, Nefeg, Jafia,
7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elishama, Beeliada ed Elifelet.
8 Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.
Or quando i Filistei ebbero udito che Davide era stato unto re di tutto Israele, saliron tutti in cerca di lui; e Davide, saputolo, uscì loro incontro.
9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
I Filistei giunsero e si sparsero per la valle dei Refaim.
10 And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”
Allora Davide consultò Dio, dicendo: “Salirò io contro i Filistei? E me li darai tu nelle mani?” L’Eterno gli rispose: “Sali, e io li darò nelle tue mani”.
11 And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
I Filistei dunque salirono a Baal-Peratsim, dove Davide li sconfisse, e disse: “Iddio ha rotto i miei nemici per mano mia come quando le acque rompono le dighe”. Perciò fu dato a quel luogo il nome di Baal-Peratsim.
12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
I Filistei lasciaron quivi i loro dèi, che per ordine di Davide, furon dati alle fiamme.
13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
Di poi i Filistei tornarono a spargersi per quella valle.
14 And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.
E Davide consultò di nuovo Dio; e Dio gli disse: “Non salire dietro ad essi, allontanati e gira intorno a loro, e giungerai su di essi dal lato dei Gelsi.
15 And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”
E quando udrai un rumor di passi tra le vette dei gelsi, esci subito all’attacco, perché Dio marcerà alla tua testa per sconfiggere l’esercito dei Filistei”.
16 Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.
Davide fece come Dio gli avea comandato, e gl’Israeliti sconfissero l’esercito dei Filistei da Gabaon a Ghezer.
17 And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.
E la fama di Davide si sparse per tutti i paesi, e l’Eterno fece sì ch’egli incutesse spavento a tutte le genti.
