1 Samuel 22
1 David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
Abiit ergo David inde, et fugit in speluncam Odollam. Quod cum audissent fratres eius, et omnis domus patris eius, descenderunt ad eum illuc.
2 Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
Et convenerunt ad eum omnes, qui erant in angustia constituti, et oppressi aere alieno, et amaro animo: et factus est eorum princeps, fueruntque cum eo quasi quadringenti viri.
3 David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother stay with you, until I know what God will do for me."
Et profectus est David inde in Maspha, quae est Moab: et dixit ad regem Moab: Maneat, oro, pater meus et mater mea vobiscum, donec sciam quid faciat mihi Deus.
4 He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
Et reliquit eos ante faciem regis Moab: manseruntque apud eum cunctis diebus, quibus David fuit in praesidio.
5 The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah." Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
Dixitque Gad propheta ad David: Noli manere in praesidio, proficiscere, et vade in Terram Iuda. Et profectus est David, et venit in saltum Haret.
6 Saul heard that David had been discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree at the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
Et audivit Saul quod apparuisset David, et viri qui erant cum eo. Saul autem cum maneret in Gabaa, et esset in nemore, quod est in Rama, hastam manu tenens, cunctique servi eius circumstarent eum,
7 And he said to them, "Hear now, you Benjamites. Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
ait ad servos suos qui assistebant ei: Audite me nunc filii Iemini: numquid omnibus vobis dabit filius Isai agros et vineas, et universos vos faciet tribunos, et centuriones:
8 that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
quoniam coniurastis omnes adversum me, et non est qui mihi renunciet, maxime cum et filius meus foedus inierit cum filio Isai? Non est qui vicem meam doleat ex vobis, nec qui annunciet mihi: eo quod suscitaverit filius meus servum meum adversum me, insidiantem mihi usque hodie.
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, "I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
Respondens autem Doeg Idumaeus, qui assistebat, et erat primus inter servos Saul, Vidi, inquit, filium Isai in Nobe apud Achimelech filium Achitob sacerdotem.
10 He inquired of God for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
Qui consuluit pro eo Dominum, et cibaria dedit ei: sed et gladium Goliath Philisthaei dedit illi.
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
Misit ergo rex ad accersendum Achimelech sacerdotem filium Achitob, et omnem domum patris eius, sacerdotum, qui erant in Nobe, qui universi venerunt ad regem.
12 Saul said, "Hear now, you son of Ahitub." He answered, "Here I am, my lord."
Et ait Saul ad Achimelech: Audi fili Achitob. Qui respondit: Praesto sum Domine.
13 Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
Dixitque ad eum Saul: Quare coniurastis adversum me, tu et filius Isai, et dedisti ei panes et gladium, et consuluisti pro eo Dominum, ut consurgeret adversum me, insidiator usque hodie permanens?
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, "Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and a commander over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?
Respondensque Achimelech regi, ait: Et quis in omnibus servis tuis, sicut David fidelis, et gener regis, et pergens ad imperium tuum, et gloriosus in domo tua?
15 Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Do not let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more."
Num hodie coepi pro eo consulere Dominum? absit hoc a me: ne suspicetur rex adversus servum suum rem huiuscemodi, in universa domo patris mei: non enim scivit servus tuus quidquam super hoc negotio, vel modicum vel grande.
16 The king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father's house."
Dixitque rex: Morte morieris Achimelech, tu, et omnis domus patris tui.
17 The king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn, and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD.
Et ait rex emissariis qui circumstabant eum: Convertimini, et interficite sacerdotes Domini: nam manus eorum cum David est: scientes quod fugisset, et non indicaverunt mihi. Noluerunt autem servi regis extendere manus suas in sacerdotes Domini.
18 The king said to Doeg, "Turn and attack the priests." Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
Et ait rex ad Doeg: Convertere tu, et irrue in sacerdotes. Conversusque Doeg Idumaeus, irruit in sacerdotes, et trucidavit in die illa octogintaquinque viros vestitos ephod lineo.
19 He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep.
Nobe autem civitatem sacerdotum percussit in ore gladii, viros et mulieres, et parvulos, et lactentes, bovemque et asinum, et ovem in ore gladii.
20 One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
Evadens autem unus filius Achimelech, filii Achitob, cuius nomen erat Abiathar, fugit ad David,
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
et annunciavit ei quod occidisset Saul sacerdotes Domini.
22 Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for all the lives of your father's house.
Et ait David ad Abiathar: Sciebam in die illa, quod cum ibi esset Doeg Idumaeus, proculdubio annunciaret Sauli: ego sum reus omnium animarum patris tui.
23 Stay with me, do not be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard."
Mane mecum, ne timeas: si quis quaesierit animam meam, quaeret et animam tuam, mecumque servaberis.
