2 Samuel 16

1 And David he passed on a little from the top and there! Ziba [the] servant of Mephi-bosheth to meet him and a pair of donkeys [were] saddled and [were] on them two hundred bread[s] and one hundred bunches of raisins and one hundred summer fruit and a skin of wine.

Cumque David transisset paululum montis verticem, apparuit Siba puer Miphiboseth in occursum eius, cum duobus asinis, qui onerati erant ducentis panibus, et centum alligaturis uvæ passæ, et centum massis palatharum, et utre vini.

2 And he said the king to Ziba what? [are] these [things] to you and he said Ziba the donkeys [are] for [the] household of the king to ride (and the bread *Q(K)*) and the summer fruit [are] to eat the young men and the wine [is] to drink the weary [person] in the wilderness.

Et dixit rex Sibæ. Quid sibi volunt hæc? Responditque Siba: Asini, domesticis regis ut sedeant: panes et palathæ ad vescendum pueris tuis: vinum autem ut bibat siquis defecerit in deserto.

3 And he said the king and where? [is] [the] son of master your and he said Ziba to the king there! [he is] dwelling in Jerusalem for he said this day they will restore to me [the] house of Israel [the] kingdom of father my.

Et ait rex: Ubi est filius domini tui? Responditque Siba regi: Remansit in Ierusalem, dicens: Hodie restituet mihi domus Israel regnum patris mei.

4 And he said the king to Ziba here! [belongs] to you all that [belonged] to Mephi-bosheth and he said Ziba I bow down may I find favor in view your O lord my the king.

Et ait rex Sibæ: Tua sint omnia quæ fuerunt Miphiboseth. Dixitque Siba: Oro ut inveniam gratiam coram te, domine mi rex.

5 And he came the king David to Bahurim and there! from there a man [was] coming out from [the] clan of [the] house of Saul and name his [was] Shimei [the] son of Gera [he was] coming out continuously and cursing.

Venit ergo rex David usque Bahurim: et ecce egrediebatur inde vir de cognatione domus Saul, nomine Semei, filius Gera, procedebatque egrediens, et maledicebat,

6 And he stoned with stones David and all [the] servants of the king David and all the people and all the warriors [were] from right his and from left his.

mittebatque lapides contra David, et contra universos servos regis David: omnis autem populus, et universi bellatores a dextro, et a sinistro latere regis incedebant.

7 And thus he said Shimei when cursed he get out get out O man of blood and O man of worthlessness.

Ita autem loquebatur Semei cum malediceret regi: Egredere, egredere vir sanguinum, et vir Belial.

8 He has brought back on you Yahweh all - [the] blood of [the] house of Saul whom you have reigned (in place of him *Q(K)*) and he has given Yahweh the kingship in [the] hand of Absalom son your and here you [are] in calamity your for [are] a man of blood you.

Reddidit tibi Dominus universum sanguinem domus Saul: quoniam invasisti regnum pro eo, et dedit Dominus regnum in manu Absalom filii tui, et ecce premunt te mala tua, quoniam vir sanguinum es.

9 And he said Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah to the king why? will he curse the dog dead this lord my the king let me pass over please and let me remove head his.

Dixit autem Abisai filius Sarviæ, regi: Quare maledicit canis hic mortuus domino meo regi? vadam, et amputabo caput eius.

10 And he said the king what? [is] to me and to you O sons of Zeruiah (thus *Q(K)*) he is cursing (for *Q(K)*) Yahweh he has said to him curse David and who? will he say why? have you done thus.

Et ait rex: Quid mihi et vobis est filii Sarviæ? dimittite eum, ut maledicat: Dominus enim præcepit ei ut malediceret David: et quis est qui audeat dicere, quare sic fecerit?

11 And he said David to Abishai and to all servants his here! son my who he went out from inward parts my [is] seeking life my and indeed? for now [the] Ben-jaminite leave alone him so he may curse for he has spoken to him Yahweh.

Et ait rex Abisai, et universis servis suis: Ecce filius meus, qui egressus est de utero meo, quærit animam meam: quanto magis nunc filius Iemini? dimittite eum ut maledicat iuxta præceptum Domini:

12 Perhaps he will look Yahweh (on sin my *Q(K)*) and he will repay Yahweh to me good in place of curse his the day this.

si forte respiciat Dominus afflictionem meam, et reddat mihi Dominus bonum pro maledictione hac hodierna.

13 And he went David and men his on the road. And Shimei [was] going on [the] side of the mountain parallel with him he went and he cursed and he stoned [them] with stones parallel with him and he dusted [them] with dust.

Ambulabat itaque David et socii eius per viam cum eo. Semei autem per iugum montis ex latere, contra illum gradiebatur, maledicens, et mittens lapides adversum eum, terramque spargens.

14 And he came the king and all the people which [was] with him exhausted and he refreshed himself there.

Venit itaque rex, et universus populus cum eo lassus, et refocillati sunt ibi.

15 And Absalom and all the people [the] man of Israel they came Jerusalem and Ahithophel [was] with him.

Absalom autem et omnis populus eius ingressi sunt Ierusalem, sed et Achitophel cum eo.

16 And it was just when came Hushai the Arkite [the] friend of David to Absalom and he said Hushai to Absalom may he live the king may he live the king.

Cum autem venisset Chusai Arachites amicus David ad Absalom, locutus est ad eum: Salve rex, salve rex.

17 And he said Absalom to Hushai [is] this loyalty your with friend your why? not did you go with friend your.

Ad quem Absalom, Hæc est, inquit, gratia tua ad amicum tuum? quare non ivisti cum amico tuo?

18 And he said Hushai to Absalom In-deed [the one] whom he has chosen Yahweh and the people this and every man of Israel (to him *Q(K)*) I will belong and with him I will remain.

Responditque Chusai ad Absalom: Nequaquam: quia illius ero, quem elegit Dominus, et omnis hic populus, et universus Israel, et cum eo manebo.

19 And the second [thing] whom? I will I serve ¿ not before son his just as I served before father your so I will be (before you. *LAB(h)*)

Sed ut et hoc inferam, cui ego serviturus sum? nonne filio regis? sicut parui patri tuo, ita parebo et tibi.

20 And he said Absalom to Ahithophel give for yourselves counsel what? will we do.

Dixit autem Absalom ad Achitophel: Inite consilium quid agere debeamus.

21 And he said Ahithophel to Absalom go into [the] concubines of father your whom he left to keep the house and it will hear all Israel that you have made yourself odious with father your and they will be strong [the] hands of all who [are] with you.

Et ait Achitophel ad Absalom: Ingredere ad concubinas patris tui, quas dimisit ad custodiendam domum: ut cum audierit omnis Israel quod fœdaveris patrem tuum, roborentur tecum manus eorum.

22 And they pitched for Absalom the tent on the roof and he went Absalom into [the] concubines of father his to [the] eyes of all Israel.

Tetenderunt ergo Absalom tabernaculum in solario, ingressusque est ad concubinas patris sui coram universo Israel.

23 And [the] counsel of Ahithophel which he counseled in the days those [was] just as (he enquires anyone *Q(K)*) by [the] word of God [was] so all [the] counsel of Ahithophel both to David as well as to Absalom.

Consilium autem Achitophel, quod dabat in diebus illis, quasi siquis consuleret Deum: sic erat omne consilium Achitophel, et cum esset cum David, et cum esset cum Absalom.
