1 Samuel 22
1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard [it], they went down thither 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 And every one [that was] in distress, and every one that [was] in debt, and every one [that was] discontented, resorted to him; and he became a 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 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, [and be] with you, till 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 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
Et reliquit eos ante faciem regis Moab: manseruntque apud eum cunctis diebus, quibus David fuit in praesidio.
5 And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and come into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
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 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that [were] with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having 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 Then Saul said to his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjaminites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, [and] 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 that showeth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and [there is] none of you that is sorry for me, or showeth to me that my son hath 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 answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, 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 And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, 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 priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that [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 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I [am], my lord.
Et ait Saul ad Achimelech: Audi fili Achitob. Qui respondit: Praesto sum Domine.
13 And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast 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, And who [is so] faithful among all thy servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honorable in thy 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 Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me. Let not the king impute [any] thing to his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew 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 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
Dixitque rex: Morte morieris Achimelech, tu, et omnis domus patris tui.
17 And the king said to the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD: because their hand also [is] with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not show it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon 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 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day eighty and five persons that 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 And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
Nobe autem civitatem sacerdotum percussit in ore gladii, viros et mulieres, et parvulos, et lactentes, bovemque et asinum, et ovem in ore gladii.
20 And 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 And Abiathar showed David that Saul had slain the LORD'S priests.
et annunciavit ei quod occidisset Saul sacerdotes Domini.
22 And David said to Abiathar, I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite [was] there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy 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 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard.
Mane mecum, ne timeas: si quis quaesierit animam meam, quaeret et animam tuam, mecumque servaberis.
