1 Samuel 23
1 Then they tolde Dauid, saying, Beholde, the Philistims fight against Keilah, and spoyle the barnes.
et nuntiaverunt David dicentes ecce Philisthim obpugnant Ceila et diripiunt areas
2 Therfore Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shal I goe and smite these Philistims? And the Lord answered Dauid, Go and smite the Philistims, and saue Keilah.
consuluit igitur David Dominum dicens num vadam et percutiam Philistheos istos et ait Dominus ad David vade et percuties Philistheos et salvabis Ceila
3 And Dauids men said vnto him, See, we be afrayde here in Iudah, howe much more if we come to Keilah against the hoste of ye Philistims?
et dixerunt viri qui erant cum David ad eum ecce nos hic in Iudaea consistentes timemus quanto magis si ierimus in Ceila adversum agmina Philisthinorum
4 Then Dauid asked counsell of the Lord againe. And the Lord answered him, and sayd, Arise, go downe to Keilah: for I wil deliuer the Philistims into thine hand.
rursum ergo David consuluit Dominum qui respondens ei ait surge et vade in Ceila ego enim tradam Philistheos in manu tua
5 So Dauid and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistims, and brought away their cattel, and smote them with a great slaughter: thus Dauid saued the inhabitants of Keilah.
abiit David et viri eius in Ceila et pugnavit adversum Philistheos et abegit iumenta eorum et percussit eos plaga magna et salvavit David habitatores Ceilae
6 (And when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled to Dauid to Keilah, he brought an Ephod with him)
porro eo tempore quo fugiebat Abiathar filius Ahimelech ad David in Ceila ephod secum habens descenderat
7 And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was come to Keilah, and Saul sayd, God hath deliuered him into mine hand: for he is shut in, seeing he is come into a citie that hath gates and barres.
nuntiatum est autem Saul quod venisset David in Ceila et ait Saul tradidit eum Deus in manus meas conclususque est introgressus urbem in qua portae et serae
8 Then Saul called all the people together to warre, for to go downe to Keilah, and to besiege Dauid and his men.
et praecepit Saul omni populo ut ad pugnam descenderet in Ceila et obsideret David et viros eius
9 And Dauid hauing knowledge that Saul imagined mischiefe against him, saide to Abiathar the Priest, Bring the Ephod.
quod cum rescisset David quia praepararet ei Saul clam malum dixit ad Abiathar sacerdotem adplica ephod
10 Then sayde Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, thy seruat hath heard, that Saul is about to come to Keilah to destroy the citie for my sake.
et ait David Domine Deus Israhel audivit famam servus tuus quod disponat Saul venire ad Ceila ut evertat urbem propter me
11 Wil the lordes of Keilah deliuer me vp into his hand? and will Saul come downe, as thy seruant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy seruant. And the Lord sayde, He will come downe.
si tradent me viri Ceila in manus eius et si descendet Saul sicut audivit servus tuus Domine Deus Israhel indica servo tuo et ait Dominus descendet
12 Then said Dauid, Will the lords of Keilah deliuer me vp, and the men that are with me, into the hand of Saul? And the Lord sayde, They will deliuer thee vp.
dixitque David si tradent viri Ceilae me et viros qui sunt mecum in manu Saul et dixit Dominus tradent
13 Then Dauid and his men, which were about sixe hundreth, arose, and departed out of Keilah, and went whither they coulde. And it was tolde Saul, that Dauid was fled from Keilah, and he left off his iourney.
surrexit ergo David et viri eius quasi sescenti et egressi de Ceila huc atque illuc vagabantur incerti nuntiatumque est Saul quod fugisset David de Ceila quam ob rem dissimulavit exire
14 And Dauid abode in the wildernesse in holdes, and remayned in a mountaine in the wildernes of Ziph. And Saul sought him euery day, but God deliuered him not into his hand.
morabatur autem David in deserto in locis firmissimis mansitque in monte solitudinis Ziph quaerebat tamen eum Saul cunctis diebus et non tradidit eum Deus in manus eius
15 And Dauid sawe that Saul was come out for to seeke his life: and Dauid was in the wildernes of Ziph in the wood.
et vidit David quod egressus esset Saul ut quaereret animam eius porro David erat in deserto Ziph in silva
16 And Ionathan Sauls sonne arose and went to Dauid into the wood, and comforted him in God,
et surrexit Ionathan filius Saul et abiit ad David in silva et confortavit manus eius in Deo dixitque ei
17 And said vnto him, Feare not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not finde thee, and thou shalt be King ouer Israel, and I shalbe next vnto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it.
ne timeas neque enim inveniet te manus Saul patris mei et tu regnabis super Israhel et ego ero tibi secundus sed et Saul pater meus scit hoc
18 So they twaine made a couenant before ye Lord: and Dauid did remaine in the wood: but Ionathan went to his house.
percussit igitur uterque foedus coram Domino mansitque David in silva Ionathas autem reversus est in domum suam
19 Then came vp the Ziphims to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide himselfe by vs in holdes, in the wood in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right side of Ieshimon?
ascenderunt autem Ziphei ad Saul in Gabaa dicentes nonne David latitat apud nos in locis tutissimis silvae in colle Achilae quae est ad dexteram deserti
20 Nowe therefore, O King, come downe according to all that thine heart can desire, and our part shall be to deliuer him into the Kinges handes.
nunc ergo sicut desideravit anima tua ut descenderes descende nostrum autem erit ut tradamus eum in manus regis
21 Then Saul said, Be ye blessed of the Lord: for ye haue had compassion on mee.
dixitque Saul benedicti vos a Domino quia doluistis vicem meam
22 Goe, I pray you, and prepare ye yet better: know and see his place where he haunteth, and who hath seene him there: for it is sayd to me, He is subtile, and craftie.
abite oro et diligentius praeparate et curiosius agite et considerate locum ubi sit pes eius vel quis viderit eum ibi recogitat enim de me quod callide insidier ei
23 See therefore and know all the secret places where he hideth himselfe, and come ye againe to me with the certaintie, and I will goe with you: and if he be in the lande, I will searche him out throughout all the thousands of Iudah.
considerate et videte omnia latibula eius in quibus absconditur et revertimini ad me ad rem certam ut vadam vobiscum quod si etiam in terra se abstruserit perscrutabor eum in cunctis milibus Iuda
24 Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul, but Dauid and his men were in the wildernesse of Maon, in the playne on the right hande of Ieshimon.
at illi surgentes abierunt in Ziph ante Saul David autem et viri eius erant in deserto Maon in campestribus ad dextram Iesimuth
25 Saul also and his men went to seeke him, and they told Dauid: wherefore he came downe vnto a rocke, and abode in the wildernesse of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he folowed after Dauid in the wildernes of Maon.
ivit ergo Saul et socii eius ad quaerendum et nuntiatum est David statimque descendit ad petram et versabatur in deserto Maon quod cum audisset Saul persecutus est David in deserto Maon
26 And Saul and his men went on the one side of the mountaine, and Dauid and his men on the other side of the mountaine: and Dauid made haste to get from the presence of Saul: for Saul and his men compassed Dauid and his men round about, to take them.
et ibat Saul ad latus montis ex parte una David autem et viri eius erant in latere montis ex parte altera porro David desperabat se posse evadere a facie Saul itaque Saul et viri eius in modum coronae cingebant David et viros eius ut caperent eos
27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come: for the Philistims haue inuaded the land.
et nuntius venit ad Saul dicens festina et veni quoniam infuderunt se Philisthim super terram
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing Dauid, and went against the Philistims. Therefore they called that place, Sela-hammahlekoth.
reversus est ergo Saul desistens persequi David et perrexit in occursum Philisthinorum propter hoc vocaverunt locum illum petram Dividentem
29 And Dauid went thence, and dwelt in holdes at En-gedi.
ascendit ergo David inde et habitavit in locis tutissimis Engaddi
