Judges 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA MARTINI
1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.	1 Or un angelo del Signore andò da Galgala al luogo de’ piagnenti, e disse: Io vi trassi dall’Egitto, e v’introdussi nella terra promessa con giuramento a’ padri vostri: vi assicurai di non rompere in eterno il patto ch’io feci con voi:
2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?	2 Con questo però che voi non faceste alleanza cogli abitanti di questo paese, ma gettaste a terra i loro altari: e non avete voluto ascoltar la mia voce: perchè avete fatto questo?
3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.	3 Per la qual cosa io non ho voluto sterminar coloro dinanzi a voi, affinchè gli abbiate nemici, e sieno gli dei loro vostra ruina.
4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.	4 E nel tempo, in cui l'Angelo del Signore diceva queste parole a tutti i figliuoli d'Israele, eglino alzaron le strida, e piansero.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.	5 Onde quel luogo fu chiamato il luogo de' piagnenti, ovvero de’ piagnistei: e v’immolarono ostie al Signore.
6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.	6 Or Giosuè licenziò il popolo, e se n'andarono i figliuoli d'Israele ciascuno alle possessioni toccate loro in sorte per occuparle.
7 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.	7 E servirono al Signore per tutto il tempo che durò egli, e i seniori, i quali vissero lungamente dopo di lui, e sapevano tutte le opere che avea fatte il Signore a favor d'Israele.
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.	8 E Giosuè figliuolo di Nun, servo di Dio, si morì in età di cento dieci anni.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.	9 E lo seppellirono a' confini del suo retaggio in Thamnathsare sul monte Ephraim verso la parte settentrionale del monte Gaas.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.	10 E tutta quella generazione si riunì co’ padri suoi, e altri succedettero, i quali non conoscevano il Signore, nè le opere che egli avea fatte a favor d'Israele.
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:	11 E i figliuoli d'Israele fecero il male al cospetto del Signore, e servirono a Baal.
12 And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.	12 E rinunziarono al Signore Dio de' padri loro, che gli avea tratti dalla terra di Egitto, e servirono gli dei stranieri, gli dei de' popoli circonvicini, e gli adorarono: e provocarono ad ira il Signore,
13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.	13 Rinunziando a lui per servire a Baal, e ad Astaroth.
14 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.	14 E il Signore sdegnato contro Israele gli diede in potere di coloro che li predavano: e questi li presero, e li venderono a’ nemici che abitavano all’intorno, ed essi non poterono più far fronte a' loro avversarii:
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.	15 Ma dovunque volessero andare, la mano del Signore era sopra di essi, come egli avea detto, e giurato: e gli afflisse oltre modo.
16 Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.	16 Ma il Signore suscitò de' giudici, i quali gli liberassero dalle mani degli oppressori; ma nemmen vollero ascoltarli:
17 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.	17 Ma peccavano cogli dei stranieri; e gli adoravano. E ben presto abbandonarono la strada battuta da’ padri loro: e uditi avendo gli ordini del Signore fecer tutto all'opposto.
18 And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.	18 E mentre il Signore suscitava de' giudici, mentre questi viveano, si lasciava piegare a misericordia, e udiva i gemiti degli afflitti, e li liberava dalle crudeltà degli oppressori.
19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.	19 Ma morto che era il giudice, tornavan quegli a far molto peggio di quel che avesser fatto i padri loro, seguendo gli dei stranieri, servendoli, e adorandoli. Non abbandonarono i loro capricci, nè l’ostinato tenor di vita, a cui erano assuefatti.
20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;	20 E il furor del Signore si accese contro Israele, ed egli disse: Perchè questa nazione ha violato il patto fermato da me co' padri loro, e ha ricusato di ascoltar la mia voce:
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:	21 Io pure non distruggerò le nazioni, le quali Giosuè in morendo lasciò:
22 That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.	22 Affin di far prova per mezzo di queste, se Israele seguiti, o no, la via del Signore, e per essa cammini, come la seguitarono i padri loro.
23 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.	23 Il Signore adunque lasciò stare tutte quelle nazioni, e non volle subito sterminarle, e non le diede in potere di Giosuè.
