2 Samuel 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for [his] house of blood, because he slew the Gibeonites.
Facta est quoque fames in diebus David tribus annis iugiter: et consuluit David oraculum Domini. Dixitque Dominus: Propter Saul, et domum eius sanguinum, quia occidit Gabaonitas.
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remainder of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
Vocatis ergo Gabaonitis rex, dixit ad eos. (Porro Gabaonitae non erant de filiis Israel, sed reliquiae Amorrhaeorum: filii quippe Israel iuraverant eis, et voluit Saul percutere eos zelo, quasi pro filiis Israel et Iuda.)
3 And David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
Dixit ergo David ad Gabaonitas: Quid faciam vobis? et quod erit vestri piaculum, ut benedicatis hereditati Domini?
4 And the Gibeonites said to him, As to Saul and his house, it is with us no question of receiving silver or gold, neither is it for us to have any man put to death in Israel. And he said, What ye say will I do for you.
Dixeruntque ei Gabaonitae: Non est nobis super argento et auro quaestio, sed contra Saul, et contra domum eius: neque volumus ut interficiatur homo de Israel. Ad quos rex ait: Quid ergo vultis ut faciam vobis?
5 And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in all the borders of Israel,
Qui dixerunt regi: Virum, qui attrivit nos et oppressit inique, ita delere debemus, ut ne unus quidem residuus sit de stirpe eius in cunctis finibus Israel.
6 let seven men of his sons be given up to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give [them].
Dentur nobis septem viri de filiis eius, ut crucifigamus eos Domino in Gabaa Saul, quondam electi Domini. Et ait rex: Ego dabo.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Pepercitque rex Miphiboseth filio Ionathae filii Saul, propter iusiurandum Domini, quod fuerat inter David et inter Ionathan filium Saul.
8 And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of [the sister of] Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;
Tulit itaque rex duos filios Respha filiae Aia, quos peperit Sauli, Armoni, et Miphiboseth: et quinque filios Michol filiae Saul, quos genuerat Hadrieli filio Berzellai, qui fuit de Molathi,
9 and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before Jehovah. And they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the first days of the harvest, in the beginning of barley harvest.
et dedit eos in manus Gabaonitarum: qui crucifixerunt eos in monte coram Domino: et ceciderunt hi septem simul occisi in diebus messis primis, incipiente messione hordei.
10 Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens, and suffered neither the fowl of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Tollens autem Respha filia Aia, cilicium substravit sibi supra petram ab initio messis, donec stillaret aqua super eos de caelo: et non dimisit aves lacerare eos per diem, neque bestias per noctem.
11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Et nunciata sunt David quae fecerat Respha, filia Aia, concubina Saul.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the open place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, the day the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa;
Et abiit David, et tulit ossa Saul, et ossa Ionathae filii eius a viris Iabes Galaad, qui furati fuerant ea de platea Bethsan, in qua suspenderant eos Philisthiim cum interfecissent Saul in Gelboe:
13 and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
et asportavit inde ossa Saul, et ossa Ionathae filii eius: et colligentes ossa eorum, qui affixi fuerant,
14 And they buried [them] with the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they did all that the king had commanded. And afterwards God was propitious to the land.
sepelierunt ea cum ossibus Saul et Ionathae filii eius in Terra Beniamin, in latere, in sepulchro Cis patris eius: feceruntque omnia, quae praeceperat rex, et repropitiatus est Deus terrae post haec.
15 And the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought with the Philistines. And David was exhausted.
Factum est autem rursum praelium Philisthinorum adversum Israel, et descendit David, et servi eius cum eo, et pugnabant contra Philisthiim. Deficiente autem David,
16 And Ishbibenob, who was of the children of Raphah — the weight of his lance was three hundred shekels of bronze, and he was girded with new [armour] — thought to smite David.
Iesbibenob, qui fuit de genere arapha, cuius ferrum hastae trecentas uncias appendebat, et accinctus erat ense novo, nisus est percutere David.
17 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
Praesidioque ei fuit Abisai filius Sarviae, et percussum Philisthaeum interfecit. Tunc iuraverunt viri David, dicentes: Iam non egredieris nobiscum in bellum, ne extinguas lucernam Israel.
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines, at Gob; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the children of Raphah.
Secundum quoque bellum fuit in Gob contra Philisthaeos: tunc percussit Sobochai de Husati, Saph de stirpe arapha de genere gigantum.
19 And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, smote Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
Tertium quoque fuit bellum in Gob contra Philisthaeos, in quo percussit Adeodatus filius Saltus polymitarius Bethlehemites Goliath Gethaeum, cuius hastile hastae erat quasi liciatorium texentium.
20 And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, that had on each hand six fingers, and on each foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to Raphah.
Quartum bellum fuit in Geth: in quo vir fuit excelsus, qui senos in manibus pedibusque habebat digitos, id est viginti quattuor, et erat de origine arapha.
21 And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
Et blasphemavit Israel: percussit autem eum Ionathan filius Samaa fratris David.
22 These four were born to Raphah, in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Hi quattuor nati sunt de arapha in Geth, et ceciderunt in manu David, et servorum eius.
