1 Samuel 30
1 And it was when came David and men his Ziklag on the day third and [the] Amalekite[s] they had made a raid against [the] Negev and against Ziklag and they had struck Ziklag and they had burned it with fire.
Cumque venissent David et viri eius in Siceleg die tertia, Amalecitæ impetum fecerant ex parte australi in Siceleg, et percusserant Siceleg, et succenderant eam igni.
2 And they had taken captive the women who [were] in it from small and unto great not they had killed anyone and they had driven them away and they had gone to way their.
Et captivas duxerant mulieres ex ea, a minimo usque ad magnum: et non interfecerant quemquam, sed secum duxerant, et pergebant itinere suo.
3 And he came David and men his to the city and there! [it was] burned with fire and wives their and sons their and daughters their they had been taken captive.
Cum ergo venissent David et viri eius ad civitatem, et invenissent eam succensam igni, et uxores suas, et filios suos, et filias ductas esse captivas,
4 And he lifted up David and the people which [was] with him voice their and they wept until that not [was] in them strength to weep.
levaverunt David et populus qui erat cum eo voces suas, et planxerunt donec deficerent in eis lacrymæ.
5 And [the] two [the] wives of David they had been taken captive Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Siquidem et duæ uxores David captivæ ductæ fuerant, Achinoam Iezrahelites, et Abigail uxor Nabal Carmeli.
6 And it was distress to David exceedingly for they said the people to stone him for it was bitter [the] soul of all the people everyone on (sons his *Q(K)*) and on daughters his and he strengthened himself David in Yahweh God his.
Et contristatus est David valde: volebat enim eum populus lapidare, quia amara erat anima uniuscuiusque viri super filiis suis et filiabus: confortatus est autem David in Domino Deo suo.
7 And he said David to Abiathar the priest [the] son of Ahimelech bring near! please to me the ephod and he brought near Abiathar the ephod to David.
Et ait ad Abiathar sacerdotem filium Achimelech: Applica ad me ephod. Et applicavit Abiathar ephod ad David,
8 And he enquired David by Yahweh saying will I pursue? after the marauding band this ¿ will I overtake it and he said to him pursue for certainly you will overtake [it] and certainly you will rescue [them].
et consuluit David Dominum, dicens: Persequar latrunculos hos, et comprehendam eos, an non? Dixitque ei Dominus: Persequere: absque dubio enim comprehendes eos, et excuties prædam.
9 And he went David he and six hundred man who [were] with him and they came to [the] wadi of Besor and those [who] were left behind they remained.
Abiit ergo David ipse, et sexcenti viri qui erant cum eo, et venerunt usque ad Torrentem Besor: et lassi quidam substiterunt.
10 And he pursued David he and four hundred man and they remained two hundred man who they were [too] exhausted for passing over [the] wadi of Besor.
Persecutus est autem David ipse, et quadringenti viri: substiterant enim ducenti, qui lassi transire non poterant Torrentem Besor.
11 And they found a man Egyptian in the open country and they took him to David and they gave to him bread and he ate and they gave to drink him water.
Et invenerunt virum Ægyptium in agro, et adduxerunt eum ad David: dederuntque ei panem ut comederet, et biberet aquam,
12 And they gave to him a slice of fig cake and two bunches of raisins and he ate and it returned spirit his to him for not he had eaten food and not he had drunk water three days and three nights.
sed et fragmen massæ caricarum, et duas ligaturas uvæ passæ. Quæ cum comedisset, reversus est spiritus eius, et refocillatus est: non enim comederat panem, neque biberat aquam, tribus diebus et tribus noctibus.
13 And he said to him David [belong] to whom? you and where? from this [are] you and he said [am] a young man Egyptian I a slave of a man Amalekite and he abandoned me master my if I was sick the day three.
Dixit itaque ei David: Cuius es tu? Vel unde? Et quo pergis? Qui ait: Puer Ægyptius ego sum, servus viri Amalecitæ: dereliquit autem me dominus meus, quia ægrotare cœpi nudiustertius.
14 We we had made a raid [the] Negev of the Kerethite[s] and on [that] which [belongs] to Judah and on [the] Negev of Caleb and Ziklag we had burned with fire.
Siquidem nos erupimus ad australem plagam Cerethi, et contra Iudam, et ad meridiem Caleb, et Siceleg succendimus igni.
15 And he said to him David ¿ will you take down me to the marauding band this and he said swear! to me by God if you will kill me and if you will deliver up me in [the] hand of master my and I will take down you to the marauding band this.
Dixitque ei David: Potes me ducere ad cuneum istum? Qui ait: Iura mihi per Deum, quod non occidas me, et non tradas me in manus domini mei, et ego ducam te ad cuneum istum. Et iuravit ei David.
16 And he took down him and there! [they were] spread out over [the] face of all the land eating and drinking and celebrating in all the plunder great which they had taken from [the] land of [the] Philistines and from [the] land of Judah.
Qui cum duxisset eum, ecce illi discumbebant super faciem universæ terræ comedentes et bibentes, et quasi festum celebrantes diem, pro cuncta præda, et spoliis quæ ceperant de Terra Philisthiim, et de Terra Iuda.
17 And he struck down them David from the twilight and until the evening of next day their and not he escaped of them anyone that except four hundred man young man who they rode on the camels and they fled.
Et percussit eos David a vespere usque ad vesperam alterius diei, et non evasit ex eis quisquam, nisi quadringenti viri adolescentes, qui ascenderant camelos, et fugerant.
18 And he rescued David all that they had taken Amalek and [the] two wives his he rescued David.
Eruit ergo David omnia, quæ tulerant Amalecitæ, et duas uxores suas eruit.
19 And not it was missing to them from the small and unto the great and unto sons and daughters and from [the] booty and unto all that they had taken for themselves everything he brought back David.
Nec defuit quidquam a parvo usque ad magnum, tam de filiis quam de filiabus, et de spoliis, et quæcumque rapuerant, omnia reduxit David.
20 And he took David all the sheep and the cattle they drove [them] before the livestock that and they said this [is] [the] booty of David.
Et tulit universos greges et armenta, et minavit ante faciem suam: dixeruntque: Hæc est præda David.
21 And he came David to two hundred the men who they had been [too] exhausted - for going - after David and they had left behind them at [the] wadi of Besor and they went out to meet David and to meet the people which [was] with him and he approached David the people and he asked of them to welfare.
Venit autem David ad ducentos viros, qui lassi subsisterant, nec sequi potuerant David, et residere eos iusserat in Torrente Besor: qui egressi sunt obviam David, et populo qui erat cum eo. Accedens autem David ad populum, salutavit eos pacifice.
22 And he answered every man evil and worthlessness from the men who they had gone with David and they said because that not they went with me not we will give to them any of the booty which we have recovered that except everyone wife his and children his so they may lead [them] away and they may go.
Respondensque omnis vir pessimus, et iniquus de viris, qui ierant cum David, dixit: Quia non venerunt nobiscum, non dabimus eis quidquam de præda, quam eruimus: sed sufficiat unicuique uxor sua et filii: quos cum acceperint, recedant.
23 And he said David not you must do thus O brothers my [that] which he has given Yahweh to us and he has kept us and he has given the marauding band which came on us in hand our.
Dixit autem David: Non sic facietis fratres mei de his, quæ tradidit nobis Dominus, et custodivit nos, et dedit latrunculos, qui eruperant adversum nos, in manus nostras:
24 And who? will he listen to you to the matter this for like [the] share of - the [one who] went down in the battle and like [the] share of the [one who] remained with the baggage alike they will share.
nec audiet vos quisquam super sermone hoc. Æqua enim pars erit descendentis ad prælium, et remanentis ad sarcinas, et similiter divident.
25 And it was from the day that and on-wards and he made it into a statute and into a judgment for Israel until the day this.
Et factum est hoc ex die illa, et deinceps constitutum et præfinitum, et quasi lex in Israel usque in diem hanc.
26 And he came David to Ziklag and he sent some of the booty to [the] elders of Judah to friend his saying here! [is] for you a blessing from [the] booty of [the] enemies of Yahweh.
Venit ergo David in Siceleg, et misit dona de præda senioribus Iuda proximis suis, dicens: Accipite benedictionem de præda hostium Domini:
27 For [those] who [were] in Beth-el and for [those] who [were] in Ramoth Negev and for [those] who [were] in Jattir.
His, qui erant in Bethel, et qui in Ramoth ad Meridiem, et qui in Iether,
28 And for [those] who [were] in Aroer and for [those] who [were] in Siphmoth and for [those] who [were] in Eshtemoa.
et qui in Aroer, et qui in Sephamoth, et qui in Esthamo,
29 And for [those] who [were] in Racal and for [those] who [were] in [the] cities of the Jerahmeelite[s] and for [those] who [were] in [the] cities of the Kenite[s].
et qui in Rachal, et qui in urbibus Ierameel, et qui in urbibus Ceni,
30 And for [those] who [were] in Hormah and for [those] who [were] in Bor Ashan and for [those] who ([were] in Athach. *LA(bh)*)
et qui in Arama, et qui in lacu Asan, et qui in Athach,
31 And for [those] who [were] in Hebron and for all the places where he had gone about there David he and men his.
et qui in Hebron, et reliquis qui erant in his locis, in quibus commoratus fuerat David ipse, et viri eius.
