Ii Samuelis 21
1 facta est quoque fames in diebus David tribus annis iugiter et consuluit David oraculum Domini dixitque Dominus propter Saul et domum eius et sanguinem quia occidit Gabaonitas
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.
2 vocatis ergo Gabaonitis rex dixit ad eos porro Gabaonitae non sunt de filiis Israhel sed reliquiae Amorreorum filii quippe Israhel iuraverant eis et voluit Saul percutere eos zelo quasi pro filiis Israhel et Iuda
And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah: )
3 dixit ergo David ad Gabaonitas quid faciam vobis et quod erit vestri piaculum ut benedicatis hereditati Domini
and David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
4 dixeruntque ei Gabaonitae non est nobis super argento et auro quaestio contra Saul et contra domum eius neque volumus ut interficiatur homo de Israhel ad quos ait quid ergo vultis ut faciam vobis
And the Gibeonites said unto him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.
5 qui dixerunt regi virum qui adtrivit nos et oppressit inique ita delere debemus ut ne unus quidem residuus sit de stirpe eius in cunctis finibus Israhel
And they said unto the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
6 dentur nobis septem viri de filiis eius et crucifigamus eos Domino in Gabaath Saul quondam electi Domini et ait rex ego dabo
let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD; And the king said, I will give them.
7 pepercitque rex Mifiboseth filio Ionathan filii Saul propter iusiurandum Domini quod fuerat inter David et inter Ionathan filium Saul
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 tulit itaque rex duos filios Respha filiae Ahia quos peperit Saul Armoni et Mifiboseth et quinque filios Michol filiae Saul quos genuerat Hadriheli filio Berzellai qui fuit de Molathi
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
9 et dedit eos in manu Gabaonitarum qui crucifixerunt illos in monte coram Domino et ceciderunt hii septem simul occisi in diebus messis primis incipiente messione hordei
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell [all] seven together: and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 tollens autem Respha filia Ahia cilicium substravit sibi super petram ab initio messis donec stillaret aqua super eos de caelo et non dimisit aves lacerare eos per diem neque bestias per noctem
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 et nuntiata sunt David quae fecerat Respha filia Ahia concubina Saul
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 et abiit David et tulit ossa Saul et ossa Ionathan filii eius a viris Iabesgalaad qui furati fuerant ea de platea Bethsan in qua suspenderant eos Philisthim cum interfecissent Saul in Gelboe
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa:
13 et asportavit inde ossa Saul et ossa Ionathan filii eius et colligentes ossa eorum qui adfixi fuerant
and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 sepelierunt ea cum ossibus Saul et Ionathan filii eius in terra Beniamin in latere in sepulchro Cis patris eius feceruntque omnia quae praeceperat rex et repropitiatus est Deus terrae post haec
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
15 factum est autem rursum proelium Philisthinorum adversum Israhel et descendit David et servi eius cum eo et pugnabant contra Philisthim deficiente autem David
And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
16 Iesbidenob qui fuit de genere Arafa cuius ferrum hastae trecentas uncias adpendebat et accinctus erat ense novo nisus est percutere David
and Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David.
17 praesidioque ei fuit Abisai filius Sarviae et percussum Philistheum interfecit tunc iuraverunt viri David dicentes non egredieris nobiscum in bellum ne extinguas lucernam Israhel
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
18 secundum quoque fuit bellum in Gob contra Philistheos tunc percussit Sobbochai de Usathi Seph de stirpe Arafa
And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
19 tertium quoque fuit bellum in Gob contra Philistheos in quo percussit Adeodatus filius Saltus polymitarius bethleemites Goliath Gettheum cuius hastile hastae erat quasi liciatorium texentium
And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 quartum bellum fuit in Geth in quo vir excelsus qui senos in manibus pedibusque habebat digitos id est viginti et quattuor et erat de origine Arafa
And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
21 blasphemavit Israhel percussit autem eum Ionathan filius Sammaa fratris David
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei David’s brother slew him.
22 hii quattuor nati sunt de Arafa in Geth et ceciderunt in manu David et servorum eius
These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
