Primo libro delle Cronache 14

DIODATI	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 OR Hiram, re di Tiro, mandò a Davide ambasciatori, e legname di cedro, e muratori, e legnaiuoli, per edificargli una casa.	1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 E Davide riconobbe che il Signore l’avea stabilito re sopra Israele; perciocchè il suo regno era grandemente innalzato, per amor d’Israele, suo popolo.	2 And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.
3 E Davide prese ancora delle mogli in Gerusalemme, e generò ancora figliuoli e figliuole.	3 And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he beget sons, and daughters.
4 E questi sono i nomi de’ figliuoli che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme: Sammua, e Sobab, e Natan, e Salomone,	4 Now these are the names of them that were born to him in Jerusalem: Samua, and Sobad, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 ed Ibhar, ed Elisua, ed Elpelet,	5 Jebahar, and Elisua, and Eliphalet,
6 e Noga, e Nefeg, e Iafia,	6 And Noga, and Napheg, and Japhia,
7 ed Elisama, e Beelsada, ed Elifelet	7 Elisama. and Baaliada, and Eliphalet.
8 Ora, quando i Filistei ebbero inteso che Davide era stato unto re sopra tutto Israele, salirono tutti, per cercar Davide. E Davide, avendo ciò inteso, uscì loro incontro.	8 And the Philistines hearing that David was anointed king over all Israel, went all up to seek him: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Ed i Filistei vennero, e si sparsero per la valle de’ Rafei.	9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.
10 Allora Davide domandò Iddio, dicendo: Salirò io contro a’ Filistei? e me li darai tu nelle mani? E il Signore gli disse: Sali, ed io te li darò nelle mani.	10 And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him: Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 Essi adunque salirono in Baal-perasim, e Davide li percosse quivi, e disse: Iddio ha rotti per mia mano i miei nemici; a guisa d’una inondazione d’acqua; perciò quel luogo fu chiamato Baal-perasim.	11 And when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baalpharasim.
12 Ed i Filistei lasciarono quivi i lor dii; e per comandamento di Davide, furono bruciati col fuoco.	12 And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.
13 Or i Filistei si sparsero un’altra volta per quella valle.	13 Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 E Davide domandò di nuovo Iddio. E Iddio gli disse: Non salir dietro a loro; rivolgiti d’incontro a loro, e va’ sopra loro dirincontro a’ gelsi.	14 And David consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up after them, turn away from them, and come upon them over against the pear trees.
15 E quando tu udirai un calpestio sopra le cime de’ gelsi, allora esci fuori in battaglia; perciocchè Iddio sarà uscito davanti a te, per percuotere il campo dei Filistei.	15 And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou go out to battle. For God is gone out before thee to strike the army of the Philistines.
16 E Davide fece come Iddio gli avea comandato; e il campo de’ Filstei fu percosso da Gabaon fino a Ghezer.	16 And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 E la fama di Davide si sparse per tutti i paesi; e il Signore mise spavento di lui in tutte le genti	17 And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.
