1 Samuel 18

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA MARTINI
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.	1 E da quel punto, in cui (Davidde) ebbe parlato con Saul, l’anima di Gionata rimase strettamente congiunta coll’anima di David, e Gionata amollo, come l'anima sua.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.	2 E allora Saul lo tenne seco, e non permise che ei se ne tornasse a casa di suo padre.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.	3 E David fermò stretta unione con Gionata: perocché lo amava, come l’anima propria.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.	4 Quindi Gionata si spogliò della tonaca, che avea addosso, e la diede a Davidde colle altre sue vestimenta, e sino la spada, e l’arco suo, e il cingolo.
5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.	5 E David andava ad eseguire tutte le commissioni che davagli Saul, e operava prudentemente: e Saul gli diede soprintendenza sopra la gente di guerra, ed egli era gradito a tutto il popolo, e particolarmente a tutti i servi di Saul.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.	6 Or quando tornava Davidde, ucciso il Filisteo, uscivano le donne da tutte le città d'Israele, cantando, e menando carole dinanzi al re Saul con istromenti di letizia, con timpani, e sistri.
7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.	7 E le donne ballando intuonavano: Mille ne uccise Saul, e dieci mila Davidde.
8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?	8 Or Saulle n'ebbe sdegno grandissimo, e dispiacquero sommamente a lui queste parole, e disse: Ne han dati dieci mila a Davidde, e mille a me: che più gli manca fuori del solo regno?
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.	9 Saul pertanto da quel giorno in poi non guardava di buon occhio Davidde.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.	10 Ma il giorno appresso lo spirito malo (permettendolo il Signore) invase Saul, ed ei faceva il profeta in mezzo della sua casa, e David sonava, come soleva fare ogni dì: e Saul avea in mano una lancia,
11 And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.	11 E la scagliò, credendo di poter conficcare Davidde nella muraglia: ma Davidde la schivò per due volte.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.	12 E Saul ebbe timore di Davidde (veggendo) come il Signore era con lui, ed erasi ritirato da sè.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.	13 Saul adunque lo allontanò da sé, e lo fece capitano di mille uomini: ed egli andava e veniva, alla testa di quella gente.
14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.	14 E in tutte le cose sue David si portava con prudenza, e il Signore era con lui.
15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.	15 Saul perciò veggendo, quant'egli era prudente, cominciò ad averne sospetto.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.	16 Ma tutto Israele, e Giuda portavan affetto a Davidde: perocché egli andava, e veniva innanzi ad essi.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.	17 E Saul disse a David; Orsù la mia figlia maggiore Merob sarà quella che io darò a le per consorte: solo, che tu sii valoroso, e combatta nella guerra del Signore. Or Saulle macchinava, e diceva: Non sia la mia mano che lo abbatta, ma sia la mano de' Filistei.
18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?	18 Ma David disse a Saul: Chi son io, e quale è stata la mia vita, e di qual condizione è in Israele la famiglia del padre mio, che io abbia ad essere genero del re?
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.	19 Or venuto il tempo, in cui Merob figliuola di Saul dovea esser data a Davidde, ella fu sposata ad Hadriele Molathite.
20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.	20 Ma Michol l'altra figliuola di Saul avea affetto per David, e ne fu avvertito Saul, il quale n’ebbe piacere.
21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain.	21 E disse Saul: Gliela darò affinchè sia a lui occasione d'inciampo, e i Filistei lo uccidano. E Saul disse a David: Per due titoli tu sarai oggi mio genero.
22 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law.	22 E Saul ordinò a’ suoi servi: Parlate a David senza mia saputa, e ditegli: Orsù tu se’ in grazia del re, e tutti i suoi servi ti amano: adesso adunque diventa genero del re.
23 And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?	23 E i servi di Saul dissero nell'orecchio a David tutte queste cose. Ma David replicò: Sembra a voi piccola cosa l'esser genero del re? E io son povero, e di basso stato.
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.	24 E i servi di Saul ne fecero relazione a lui, dicendo: David ha detto questo, e questo.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.	25 Ma Saul disse: parlate a David in tal guisa: II re non ha bisogno di dote, vuol solamente la morte di cento Filistei per trar vendetta de’ suoi nemici. Ma Saulle avea in animo di dare Davidde nelle mani dei Filistei.
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired.	26 Ma quando i servi di Saul ebbero riferito a Davidde quello ch'egli avea detto, piacque la cosa a Davidde per diventare genero del re.
27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.	27 E di lì a pochi giorni Davidde si mosse colla gente che avea al suo comando. E uccise dugento Filistei, e portò i loro prepuzii, e li contò al re per esser fatto suo genero. Saul adunque gli diede per moglie la sua figlia Michol.
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him.	28 E Saul conobbe e intese, come il Signore era con David. E Michol figliuola di Saul lo amava.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.	29 E Saul principiò ad avere anche maggior paura di Davidde: e Saul diventò nimico perpetuo di Davidde.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.	30 E i principi de’ Filistei si mossero. E fin dal principio delle loro scorrerie, Davidde si portava più saggiamente che tutti i servi di Saul, e divenne celebre grandemente il suo nome.
