1 Chronicles 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from the Philistines, and they fell down wounded on mount Gilboa.	1 OR i Filistei combatterono contro ad Israele; e gl’Israeliti fuggirono d’innanzi a’ Filistei, e caddero morti nel monte di Ghilboa.
2 And when the Philistines had draw near, pursuing Saul and his sons, they struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.	2 Ed i Filistei perseguitarono di presso Saulle, e i suoi figliuoli; e percossero Gionatan, ed Abinadab, e Malchi-sua, figliuoli di Saulle.
3 And the battle grew heavy against Saul. And the archers found him, and they wounded him with arrows.	3 E lo sforzo della battaglia si voltò contro a Saulle, e gli arcieri lo scontrarono; ed egli ebbe gran paura degli arcieri.
4 And Saul said to his armor bearer: “Unsheathe your sword and kill me. Otherwise, these uncircumcised men may arrive and mock me.” But his armor bearer was not willing, having been struck with fear. And so, Saul took hold of his sword, and he fell upon it.	4 Allora Saulle disse al suo scudiere: Tira fuori la tua spada, e trafiggimi con essa, che talora questi incirconcisi non vengano, e mi scherniscano. Ma il suo scudiere non volle farlo, perciocchè egli temeva forte. Laonde Saulle prese la spada, e si lasciò cadere sopra essa.
5 And when his armor bearer had seen this, specifically, that Saul was dead, he now fell on his sword also, and he died.	5 E lo scudiere di Saulle, veggendo ch’egli era morto, si lasciò cadere anch’egli sopra la sua spada, e morì.
6 Therefore, Saul died, and his three sons passed away, and his entire house fell, together.	6 Così morì Saulle ed i suoi tre figliuoli, e tutta la gente di casa sua.
7 And when the men of Israel who were living in the plains had seen this, they fled. And since Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and were dispersed, here and there. And the Philistines arrived and lived among them.	7 E tutti gl’Israeliti, che stavano nella valle, veggendo che gl’Israeliti erano fuggiti, e che Saulle ed i suoi figliuoli erano morti, abbandonarono le lor città, e se ne fuggirono; ed i Filistei vennero, ed abitarono in esse
8 Then, on the next day, when the Philistines were taking away the spoils of the slain, they found Saul and his sons, lying on mount Gilboa.	8 Or il giorno appresso, i Filistei vennero per ispogliar gli uccisi, e trovarono Saulle ed i suoi figliuoli che giacevano sopra il monte di Ghilboa.
9 And when they had despoiled him, and had cut off his head, and had stripped his armor, they sent these things into their land, so that they would be carried around and displayed in the temples of the idols and to the people.	9 Ed essi lo spogliarono, e gli tolsero la testa e le armi; e mandarono nel paese de’ Filistei d’ogn’intorno a portarne le novelle nei tempii de’ loro idoli, ed al popolo;
10 But his armor they consecrated in the shrine of their god, and his head they affixed in the temple of Dagon.	10 e posero le armi di Saulle nel tempio de’ loro dii; ed appiccarono il suo teschio nel tempio di Dagon.
11 When the men of Jabesh Gilead had heard this, specifically, all that the Philistines had done concerning Saul,	11 Or tutti que’ di Iabes di Galaad, avendo inteso tutto quello che i Filistei aveano fatto a Saulle,
12 each one of the valiant men rose up, and they took the bodies of Saul and of his sons. And they brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabesh. And they fasted for seven days.	12 tutti gli uomini di valore d’infra loro si levarono, e tolsero via il corpo di Saulle, ed i corpi de’ suoi figliuoli, e li portarono in Iabes, e seppellirono le loro ossa sotto la quercia in Iabes, e digiunarono sette giorni.
13 Thus did Saul die for his iniquities, because he betrayed the commandment of the Lord which he had instructed, and did not keep it. And moreover, he even consulted a woman diviner;	13 Così morì Saulle per lo suo misfatto ch’egli avea commesso contro al Signore, non avendo osservata la parola del Signore; e anche, perchè avea ricercato lo spirito di Pitone, per domandarlo;
14 for he did not trust in the Lord. Because of this, he caused his death, and he transferred his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.	14 e non avea domandato il Signore; perciò egli lo fece morire, e trasportò il reame a Davide, figliuolo d’Isai
