I Samuelis 24
1 Cumque reversus esset Saul, postquam persecutus est Philisthæos, nunciaverunt ei, dicentes: Ecce, David in deserto est Engaddi.
And it was just when he returned Saul from after [the] Philistines and people told to him saying there! David [is] in [the] wilderness of En Gedi.
2 Assumens ergo Saul tria millia electorum virorum ex omni Israel, perrexit ad investigandum David et viros eius, etiam super abruptissimas petra, quæ solis ibicibus perviæ sunt.
And he took Saul three thousand man chosen from all Israel and he went to seek David and men his on [the] face of [the] rocks of the mountain goats.
3 Et venit ad caulas ovium, quæ se offerebant vianti. Eratque ibi spelunca, quam ingressus est Saul, ut purgaret ventrem: porro David et viri eius in interiore parte speluncæ latebant.
And he came to [the] folds of the sheep on the way and [was] there a cave and he went Saul to cover feet his and David and men his in [the] innermost parts of the cave [were] sitting.
4 Et dixerunt servi David ad eum: Ecce dies, de qua locutus est Dominus ad te: Ego tradam tibi inimicum tuum, ut facias ei sicut placuerit in oculis tuis. Surrexit ergo David, et præcidit oram chlamydis Saul silenter.
And they said [the] men of David to him here! the day which he said Yahweh to you here! I [am] about to give (enemy your *Q(K)*) in hand your and you will do to him just as it will be good in view your and he arose David and he cut off [the] skirt of the robe which [belonged] to Saul in secrecy.
5 Post hæc percussit cor suum David, eo quod abscidisset oram chlamydis Saul.
And it was after thus and it struck [the] heart of David him on that he had cut off [the] skirt which [belonged] to Saul.
6 Dixitque ad viros suos: Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne faciam hanc rem domino meo, Christo Domini, ut mittam manum meam in eum, quia Christus Domini est.
And he said to men his far be it to me from Yahweh if I will do the thing this to lord my to [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh by stretching out hand my on him for [is] [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh he.
7 Et confregit David viros suos sermonibus, et non permisit eos ut consurgerent in Saul: porro Saul exurgens de spelunca, pergebat cœpto itinere.
And he reprimanded David men his by the words and not he permitted them to rise up against Saul and Saul he arose from the cave and he went on the way.
8 Surrexit autem et David post eum: et egressus de spelunca, clamavit post tergum Saul, dicens: mi domine rex. Et respexit Saul post se: et inclinans se David pronus in terram, adoravit,
And he arose David after thus and he went out (from from the cave *Q(K)*) and he called out after Saul saying O lord my the king and he looked Saul behind him and he bowed low David face [the] ground towards and he bowed down.
9 dixitque ad Saul: Quare audis verba hominum loquentium, David quærit malum adversum te?
And he said David to Saul why? do you listen to [the] words of someone saying there! David [is] seeking harm your.
10 Ecce hodie viderunt oculi tui quod tradiderit te Dominus in manu mea in spelunca: et cogitavi ut occiderem te, sed pepercit tibi oculus meus. Dixi enim: Non extendam manum meam in dominum meum, quia Christus Domini est.
Here! the day this they have seen eyes your this: he gave you Yahweh - this day - in hand my in the cave and someone said to kill you and it looked with compassion on you and I said not I will stretch out hand my on lord my for [is] [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh he.
11 Quin potius pater mi, vide, et cognosce oram chlamydis tuæ in manu mea: quoniam cum præscinderem summitatem chlamydis tuæ, nolui extendere manum meam in te. Animadverte, et vide, quoniam non est in manu mea malum, neque iniquitas, neque peccavi in te: tu autem insidiaris animæ meæ ut auferas eam.
And O father my see also see [the] skirt of robe your in hand my for when cut off I [the] skirt of robe your and not I killed you know and see that there not in hand my [is] evil and transgression and not I have sinned to you and you [are] lying in wait for life my to take it.
12 Iudicet Dominus inter me et te, et ulciscatur me Dominus ex te: manus autem mea non sit in te.
May he judge Yahweh between me and between you and he will avenge me Yahweh from you and hand my not it will be on you.
13 Sicut et in proverbio antiquo dicitur: AB IMPIIS egredietur impietas: manus ergo mea non sit in te.
Just as it says [the] proverb of the ancient[s] from wicked [people] it comes forth wickedness and hand my not it will be on you.
14 Quem persequeris, rex Israel? Quem persequeris? Canem mortuum persequeris, et pulicem unum.
After whom? has he come out [the] king of Israel after whom? [are] you pursuing after a dog dead after a flea one.
15 Sit Dominus iudex, et iudicet inter me et te: et videat, et iudicet causam meam, et eruat me de manu tua.
And he will become Yahweh a judge and he will judge between me and between you and may he see and may he conduct case my and may he vindicate me from hand your.
16 Cum autem complesset David loquens sermones huiuscemodi ad Saul, dixit Saul: Numquid vox hæc tua est fili mi David? Et levavit Saul vocem suam, et flevit:
And it was - when finished David to speak the words these to Saul and he said Saul ¿ voice your [is] this O son my David and he lifted up Saul voice his and he wept.
17 dixitque ad David: Iustior tu es quam ego: tu enim tribuisti mihi bona: ego autem reddidi tibi mala.
And he said to David [are] righteous you more than I for you you have dealt out to me good and I I have dealt out to you evil.
18 Et tu indicasti hodie quæ feceris mihi bona: quomodo tradiderit me Dominus in manum tuam, et non occideris me.
(And you *Q(K)*) you have told this day this: you have done with me good [and] this: he delivered up me Yahweh in hand your and not you killed me.
19 Quis enim cum invenerit inimicum suum, dimittet eum in via bona? Sed Dominus reddat tibi vicissitudinem hanc pro eo quod hodie operatus es in me.
And if he will find anyone enemy his and will he send away? him on a journey good and Yahweh may he reward you good in place of the day this [that] which you have done to me.
20 Et nunc quia scio quod certissime regnaturus sis, et habiturus in manu tua regnum Israel:
And therefore here! I know that certainly you will reign and it will be established in hand your [the] kingdom of Israel.
21 iura mihi in Domino, ne deleas semen meum post me, neque auferas nomen meum de domo patris mei.
And therefore swear an oath! to me by Yahweh if you will cut off offspring my after me and if you will destroy name my from [the] house of father my.
22 Et iuravit David Sauli. Abiit ergo Saul in domum suam: et David, et viri eius ascenderunt ad tutiora loca.
And he swore an oath David to Saul and he went Saul to house his and David and men his they went up to the stronghold.
