Ii Samuelis 5

1 Et venerunt universae tribus Israel ad David in Hebron, dicentes: Ecce nos, os tuum, et caro tua sumus.

Then came all the tribes of Israel to Dauid vnto Hebron, and said thus, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.

2 Sed et heri et nudiustertius cum esset Saul rex super nos, tu eras educens et reducens Israel: dixit autem Dominus ad te: Tu pasces populum meum Israel, et tu eris dux super Israel.

And in time past when Saul was our King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayde to thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captaine ouer Israel.

3 Venerunt quoque et seniores Israel ad regem in Hebron, et percussit cum eis rex David foedus in Hebron coram Domino: unxeruntque David in regem super Israel.

So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebron: and King Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel.

4 Filius triginta annorum erat David, cum regnare coepisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit.

Dauid was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fortie yeere.

5 In Hebron regnavit super Iudam septem annis et sex mensibus: in Ierusalem autem regnavit triginta tribus annis super omnem Israel et Iudam.

In Hebron hee reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeere, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem hee reigned thirtie and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Iudah.

6 Et abiit rex, et omnes viri qui erant cum eo, in Ierusalem, ad Iebusaeum habitatorem terrae: dictumque est David ab eis: Non ingredieris huc, nisi abstuleris caecos et claudos dicentes: Non ingredietur David huc.

The King also and his men went to Ierusalem vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking that Dauid coulde not come thither.

7 Cepit autem David arcem Sion, haec est civitas David.

But Dauid tooke the fort of Zion: this is the citie of Dauid.

8 Proposuerat enim David in die illa praemium, qui percussisset Iebusaeum, et tetigisset domatum fistulas, et abstulisset caecos et claudos odientes animam David. idcirco dicitur in proverbio: Caecus et claudus non intrabunt in templum.

Nowe Dauid had sayd the same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters and smiteth the lame and blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him: therefore they saide, The blinde and the lame shall not come into that house.

9 Habitavit autem David in arce, et vocavit eam, Civitatem David: et aedificavit per gyrum a Mello et intrinsecus.

So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built rounde about it, from Millo, and inward.

10 Et ingrediebatur proficiens atque succrescens, et Dominus Deus exercituum erat cum eo.

And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him.

11 Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuncios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices lignorum, artificesque lapidum ad parietes: et aedificaverunt domum David.

Hiram also king of Tyrus sent messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they built Dauid an house.

12 Et cognovit David quoniam confirmasset eum Dominus regem super Israel, et quoniam exaltasset regnum eius super populum suum Israel.

Then Dauid knewe that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake.

13 Accepit ergo David adhuc concubinas et uxores de Ierusalem, postquam venerat de Hebron: natique sunt David et alii filii et filiae:

And Dauid tooke him more concubines and wiues out of Ierusalem, after hee was come from Hebron, and more sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.

14 et haec nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Ierusalem, Samua, et Sobab, et Nathan, et Salomon,

And these bee the names of the sonnes that were borne vnto him in Ierusale: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Salomon,

15 et Iebahar, et Elisua, et Nepheg,

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,

16 et Iaphia, et Elisama, et Elioda, et Eliphaleth.

And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

17 Audierunt ergo Philisthiim quod unxissent David in regem super Israel: et ascenderunt universi ut quaererent David: quod cum audisset David, descendit in praesidium.

But when the Philistims hearde that they had anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid: and when Dauid heard, he went downe to a fort.

18 Philisthiim autem venientes diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.

But the Philistims came, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

19 et consuluit David Dominum, dicens: Si ascendam ad Philisthiim? et si dabis eos in manu mea? Et dixit Dominus ad David: Ascende, quia tradens dabo Philisthiim in manu tua.

Then Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe vp to the Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into mine handes? And the Lord answered Dauid, Goe vp: for I will doubtlesse deliuer the Philistims into thine handes.

20 Venit ergo David in Baal Pharasim. et percussit eos ibi, et dixit: Divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me, sicut dividuntur aquae. Propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius, Baal Pharasim.

Then Dauid came to Baal-perazim, and smote them there, and sayde, The Lord hath deuided mine enemies asunder before mee, as waters be deuided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

21 Et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua: quae tulit David, et viri eius.

And there they left their images, and Dauid and his men burnt them.

22 Et addiderunt adhuc Philisthiim ut ascenderent, et diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.

Againe the Philistims came vp, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

23 Consuluit autem David Dominum: Si ascendam contra Philisthaeos, et tradas eos in manus meas? Qui respondit: Non ascendas contra eos, sed gyra post tergum eorum, et venies ad eos ex adverso pyrorum.

And when Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, hee answered, Thou shalt not goe vp, but turne about behinde them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

24 Et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pyrorum, tunc inibis praelium: quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam, ut percutiat castra Philisthiim.

And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then remoue: for then shall the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.

25 Fecit itaque David sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, et percussit Philisthiim de Gabaa, usque dum venias Gezer.

Then Dauid did so as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistims from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.
