1 Samuel 23

1 And people told to David saying there! [the] Philistines [are] fighting against Keilah and they [are] plundering the threshing floors.

Et annunciaverunt David, dicentes: Ecce Philisthiim oppugnant Ceilam, et diripiunt areas.

2 And he enquired David by Yahweh saying ¿ will I go and will I strike? the Philistines these. And he said Yahweh to David go and you will strike the Philistines and you will deliver Keilah.

Consuluit ergo David Dominum, dicens: Num vadam, et percutiam Philisthæos istos? Et ait Dominus ad David: Vade, et percuties Philisthæos, et Ceilam salvabis.

3 And they said [the] men of David to him here! we here in Judah [are] fearful and indeed? if we will go Keilah against [the] battle lines of [the] Philistines.

Et dixerunt viri, qui erant cum David, ad eum: Ecce nos hic in Iudæa consistentes timemus: quanto magis si ierimus in Ceilam adversum agmina Philisthinorum?

4 And he repeated again David to enquire by Yahweh. And he answered him Yahweh and he said arise go down Keilah for I [am] about to give [the] Philistines in hand your.

Rursum ergo David consuluit Dominum. Qui respondens, ait ei: Surge, et vade in Ceilam: ego enim tradam Philisthæos in manu tua.

5 And he went David (and men his *Q(K)*) Keilah and he fought against the Philistines and he drove away livestock their and he defeated them a defeat great and he delivered David [the] inhabitants of Keilah.

Abiit ergo David, et viri eius in Ceilam, et pugnavit adversum Philisthæos, et abegit iumenta eorum, et percussit eos plaga magna: et salvavit David habitatores Ceilæ.

6 And it was when fled Abiathar [the] son of Ahimelech to David Keilah an ephod it came down in hand his.

Porro eo tempore, quo fugiebat Abiathar filius Achimelech ad David, in Ceilam ephod secum habens descenderat.

7 And it was told to Saul that he had gone David Keilah and he said Saul he has alienated him God in hand my for he has shut himself up by going in a city of doors and bar[s].

Nunciatum est autem Sauli quod venisset David in Ceilam: et ait Saul: Tradidit eum Deus in manus meas, conclususque est introgressus urbem, in qua portæ et seræ sunt.

8 And he summoned Saul all the people for battle to go down Keilah to lay siege against David and against men his.

Et præcepit Saul omni populo ut ad pugnam descenderet in Ceilam: et obsideret David, et viros eius.

9 And he knew David that on him Saul [was] plotting evil and he said to Abiathar the priest bring near! the ephod.

Quod cum David rescisset quia præpararet ei Saul clam malum, dixit ad Abiathar sacerdotem: Applica ephod.

10 And he said David O Yahweh [the] God of Israel certainly he has heard servant your that [is] seeking Saul to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me.

Et ait David: Domine Deus Israel, audivit famam servus tuus, quod disponat Saul venire in Ceilam, ut evertat urbem propter me:

11 ¿ Will they deliver up me [the] citizens of Keilah in hand his ¿ will he come down Saul just as he has heard servant your O Yahweh [the] God of Israel tell please to servant your. And he said Yahweh he will come down.

Si tradent me viri Ceilæ in manus eius? Et si descendet Saul, sicut audivit servus tuus? Domine Deus Israel indica servo tuo. Et ait Dominus: Descendet.

12 And he said David ¿ will they deliver up [the] citizens of Keilah me and men my in [the] hand of Saul and he said Yahweh they will deliver [you] up.

Dixitque David: Si tradent me viri Ceilæ, et viros qui sunt mecum, in manus Saul? Et dixit Dominus: Tradent.

13 And he arose David and men his about six hundred man and they went out from Keilah and they went about at where they went about and to Saul it was told that he had escaped David from Keilah and he ceased to go forth.

Surrexit ergo David et viri eius quasi sexcenti, et egressi de Ceila, huc atque illuc vagabantur incerti: nunciatumque est Sauli quod fugisset David de Ceila, et salvatus esset: quam ob rem dissimulavit exire.

14 And he dwelt David in the wilderness in the strongholds and he dwelt in the hill country in [the] wilderness of Ziph and he sought him Saul all the days and not he gave him God in hand his.

Morabatur autem David in deserto in locis firmissimis, mansitque in monte solitudinis Ziph, in monte opaco: quærebat eum tamen Saul cunctis diebus: et non tradidit eum Deus in manus eius.

15 And he saw David that he had come forth Saul to seek life his and David [was] in [the] wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.

Et vidit David quod egressus esset Saul ut quæreret animam eius. Porro David erat in deserto Ziph in silva.

16 And he arose Jonathan [the] son of Saul and he went to David Horesh and he strengthened hand his in God.

Et surrexit Ionathas filius Saul, et abiit ad David in silvam, et confortavit manus eius in Deo: dixitque ei:

17 And he said to him may not you be afraid for not it will find you [the] hand of Saul father my and you you will reign over Israel and I I will become to you second in rank and also Saul father my [is] knowing [it is] thus.

Ne timeas: neque enim inveniet te manus Saul patris mei, et tu regnabis super Israel, et ego ero tibi secundus, sed et Saul pater meus scit hoc.

18 And they made [the] two of them a covenant before Yahweh and he remained David at Horesh and Jonathan he went to house his.

Percussit ergo uterque fœdus coram Domino: mansitque David in silva: Ionathas autem reversus est in domum suam.

19 And they went up Ziphites to Saul Gibeah towards saying ¿ not [is] David hiding himself with us in the strongholds at Horesh on [the] hill of Hakilah which [is] from [the] south of Jeshimon.

Ascenderunt autem Ziphæi ad Saul in Gabaa, dicentes: Nonne ecce David latitat apud nos in locis tutissimis silvæ, in Colle Hachila, quæ est ad dexteram deserti?

20 And now to all [the] desire of self your O king to come down come down and [belongs] to us to deliver up him in [the] hand of the king.

Nunc ergo, sicut desideravit anima tua ut descenderes, descende: nostrum autem erit ut tradamus eum in manus regis.

21 And he said Saul [be] blessed you by Yahweh for you have had compassion on me.

Dixitque Saul: Benedicti vos a Domino, quia doluistis vicem meam.

22 Go please prepare still and know and see place his where it is foot his who? has he seen him there for someone has said to me certainly he is crafty he.

Abite ergo, oro, et diligentius præparate, et curiosius agite, et considerate locum ubi sit pes eius, vel quis viderit eum ibi, recogitat enim de me, quod callide insidier ei.

23 And see and know from all the hiding places where he hides himself there and you will return to me to a certain [thing] and I will go with you and it will be if there he [is] in the land and I will search out him among all [the] thousands of Judah.

Considerate et videte omnia latibula eius, in quibus absconditur: et revertimini ad me ad rem certam, ut vadam vobiscum. Quod si etiam in terram se abstruserit, perscrutabor eum in cunctis millibus Iuda.

24 And they arose and they went Ziph towards before Saul and David and men his [were] in [the] wilderness of Maon in the Arabah to [the] south of Jeshimon.

At illi surgentes abierunt in Ziph ante Saul: David autem et viri eius erant in deserto Maon, in campestribus ad dexteram Iesimon.

25 And he went Saul and men his to seek [him] and people told to David and he went down the rock and he remained in [the] wilderness of Maon and he heard Saul and he pursued after David [the] wilderness of Maon.

Ivit ergo Saul et socii eius ad quærendum eum: et nunciatum est David, statimque descendit ad petram, et versabatur in deserto Maon. Quod cum audisset Saul, persecutus est David in deserto Maon.

26 And he went Saul from [the] side of the mountain from this and David and men his [were] from [the] side of the mountain from this and he was David hurrying away to go from before Saul and Saul and men his [were] surrounding David and men his to catch 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 coronæ cingebant David, et viros eius, ut caperent eos.

27 And a messenger he came to Saul saying make haste! and come! for they have made a raid [the] Philistines on the land.

Et nuncius venit ad Saul, dicens: Festina, et veni, quoniam infuderunt se Philisthiim super terram.

28 And he turned back Saul from pursuing after David and he went to meet [the] Philistines there-fore people called the place that Sela Hammahlekoth.

Reversus est ergo Saul desistens persequi David, et perrexit in occursum Philisthinorum. Propter hoc vocaverunt locum illum, Petram Dividentem.

29 And he went up David from there and he dwelt in [the] strongholds of En Gedi.

Ascendit ergo David inde: et habitavit in locis tutissimis Engaddi.
