1 Samuel 13
1 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
Filius unius anni erat Saul cum regnare coepisset, duobus autem annis regnavit super Israel.
2 Saul chose him three thousand [men] of Israel; [of which] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Et elegit sibi Saul tria millia de Israel: et erant cum Saul duo millia in Machmas, et in monte Bethel: mille autem cum Ionatha in Gabaa Beniamin. porro ceterum populum remisit unumquemque in tabernacula sua.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that [was] in Geba; and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
Et percussit Ionathas stationem Philisthinorum, quae erat in Gabaa. Quod cum audissent Philisthiim, Saul cecinit buccina in omni terra, dicens: Audiant Hebraei.
4 And all Israel heard it said [that] Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and [that] Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines: and the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
Et universus Israel audivit huiuscemodi famam: Percussit Saul stationem Philisthinorum: et erexit se Israel adversus Philisthiim. Clamavit ergo populus post Saul in Galgala.
5 And the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which [is] on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Beth-aven.
Et Philisthiim congregati sunt ad proeliandum contra Israel, triginta millia curruum, et sex millia equitum, et reliquum vulgus, sicut arena quae est in littore maris plurima. Et ascendentes castrametati sunt in Machmas ad Orientem Bethaven.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed) then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
Quod cum vidissent viri Israel se in arcto positos, (afflictus enim erat populus) absconderunt se in speluncis, et in abditis, in petris quoque, et in antris, et in cisternis.
7 And [some of] the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Hebraei autem transierunt Iordanem in Terram Gad et Galaad. Cumque adhuc esset Saul in Galgala, universus populus perterritus est, qui sequebatur eum.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Et expectavit septem diebus iuxta placitum Samuelis, et non venit Samuel in Galgala, dilapsusque est populus ab eo.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt-offering to me, and peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.
Ait ergo Saul: Afferte mihi holocaustum, et pacifica. Et obtulit holocaustum.
10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
Cumque complesset offerens holocaustum, ecce Samuel veniebat: et egressus est Saul obviam ei ut salutaret eum.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that] thou camest not within the days appointed, and [that] the Philistines assembled at Michmash;
Locutusque est ad eum Samuel: Quid fecisti? Respondit Saul: Quia vidi quod populus dilaberetur a me, et tu non veneras iuxta placitos dies, porro Philisthiim congregati fuerant in Machmas,
12 Therefore said I, the Philistines will now come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD; I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt-offering.
dixi: Nunc descendent Philisthiim ad me in Galgala, et faciem Domini non placavi. Necessitate compulsus, obtuli holocaustum.
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
Dixitque Samuel ad Saul: Stulte egisti, nec custodisti mandata Domini Dei tui, quae praecepit tibi. Quod si non fecisses, iam nunc praeparasset Dominus regnum tuum super Israel in sempiternum,
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee.
sed nequaquam regnum tuum ultra consurget. Quaesivit Dominus sibi virum iuxta cor suum: et praecepit ei Dominus ut esset dux super populum suum, eo quod non servaveris quae praecepit Dominus.
15 And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present with him, about six hundred men.
Surrexit autem Samuel, et ascendit de Galgalis in Gabaa Beniamin. Et reliqui populi ascenderunt post Saul obviam populo, qui expugnabant eos venientes de Galgala in Gabaa, in colle Beniamin. Et recensuit Saul populum, qui inventi fuerant cum eo, quasi sexcentos viros.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people [that were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Et Saul et Ionathas filius eius, populusque qui inventus fuerat cum eis, erat in Gabaa Beniamin: porro Philisthiim consederant in Machmas.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way [that leadeth to] Ophrah, to the land of Shual:
Et egressi sunt ad praedandum de castris Philisthinorum tres cunei. Unus cuneus pergebat contra viam Ephra ad Terram Sual.
18 And another company turned the way [to] Beth-horon: and another company turned [to] the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim towards the wilderness.
porro alius ingrediebatur per viam Beth horon. tertius autem verterat se ad iter termini in terra Sabaa imminentis valli Seboim contra desertum.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: (for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them] swords or spears: )
Porro faber ferrarius non inveniebatur in omni Terra Israel. caverant enim Philisthiim, ne forte facerent Hebraei gladium aut lanceam.
20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his colter, and his ax, and his mattock.
Descendebat ergo omnis Israel ad Philisthiim, ut exacueret unusquisque vomerem suum, et ligonem et securim et sarculum.
21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the colters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
Retusae itaque erant acies vomerum, et ligonum, et tridentum, et securium, usque ad stimulum corrigendum.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that [were] with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
Cumque venisset dies proelii, non est inventus ensis et lancea in manu totius populi, qui erat cum Saule et Ionatha, excepto Saul et Ionatha filio eius.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
Egressa est autem statio Philisthiim, ut transcenderet in Machmas.
