1 Samuel 30

KING JAMES BIBLE	DIODATI
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;	1 ORA, tre giorni appresso, Davide essendo ritornato in Siclag con la sua gente, trovò che gli Amalechiti erano scorsi verso il Mezzodì, e in Siclag, e che aveano percossa Siclag, e l’aveano arsa col fuoco;
2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.	2 ed aveano menate prigioni le donne che vi erano dentro, e tutte le persone dal maggiore al minore; ma non aveano ucciso alcuno, anzi li aveano menati tutti via, e se ne erano andati a lor cammino.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.	3 Come dunque Davide, con la sua gente, fu venuto nella città, ecco, essa era arsa col fuoco; e le lor mogli, e i lor figliuoli, e le lor figliuole, erano state menate prigioni.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.	4 Laonde Davide, e la gente ch’era con lui, alzò la voce, e pianse, finchè non ebbero più potere di piangere.
5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.	5 Le due mogli di Davide, Ahinoam Izreelita, e Abigail ch’era stata moglie di Nabal da Carmel, erano anch’esse state menate prigioni.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.	6 E Davide era grandemente distretto; perciocchè il popolo parlava di lapidarlo; perchè tutto il popolo era in amaritudine d’animo, ciascuno per li suoi figliuoli e per le sue figliuole; ma Davide si fortificò nel Signore Iddio suo;
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.	7 e disse al sacerdote Ebiatar, figliuolo di Ahimelec: Deh! accostami l’Efod. Ed Ebiatar accostò l’Efod a Davide.
8 And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.	8 E Davide domandò il Signore, dicendo: Perseguiterò io quegli scherani? li raggiungerò io? E il Signore gli disse: Perseguitali pure; perciocchè per certo tu li raggiungerai, e riscoterai ogni cosa.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.	9 Davide adunque andò co’ seicent’uomini ch’egli avea seco; e, quando furono giunti al torrente di Besor, una parte di essi restò quivi.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.	10 E Davide, con quattrocent’uomini, perseguitò coloro; e dugento ne restarono, i quali erano tanto stanchi, che non poterono passare il torrente di Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;	11 Or essi trovarono un uomo Egizio per la campagna, e lo menarono a Davide, e gli diedero del pane, ed egli mangiò; poi gli diedero a ber dell’acqua.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.	12 Gli diedero ancora un pezzo d’una massa di fichi secchi, e due grappoli d’uva secca; ed egli mangiò, e lo spirito gli rivenne; perciocchè egli non avea mangiato pane, nè bevuta acqua, da tre giorni, e da tre notti.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.	13 E Davide gli disse: Di cui sei tu? e d’onde sei tu? Ed egli disse: Io sono un garzone Egizio, servo di un Amalechita; e il mio padrone mi ha lasciato, perciocchè io infermai oggi ha tre giorni.
14 We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.	14 Noi siamo scorsi nella contrada meridionale de’ Cheretei, e nel paese di Giuda, e nella contrada meridionale di Caleb, e abbiamo arsa Siclag col fuoco.
15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.	15 E Davide gli disse: Mi condurresti tu a quegli scherani? Ed egli gli disse: Giurami per Iddio che tu non mi farai morire, e che tu non mi darai in mano del mio padrone, ed io ti condurrò a quegli scherani.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.	16 Colui adunque ve lo condusse; ed ecco, essi erano sparsi senza guardia su per tutta quella contrada, mangiando e bevendo, e facendo festa di tutta la gran preda che aveano portata dal paese de’ Filistei, e dal paese di Giuda.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.	17 E Davide li percosse dal vespro infino alla sera del giorno seguente; e non ne scampò alcuno, se non quattrocento giovani, i quali montarono sopra de’ cammelli, e fuggirono.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.	18 E Davide riscosse tutto quello che gli Amalechiti aveano preso; riscosse eziandio le sue due mogli.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.	19 E non mancò loro alcuno, nè piccolo, nè grande, nè figliuolo, nè figliuola, nè robe, nè cosa veruna che avessero loro presa. Davide ricoverò tutto.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.	20 Davide prese eziandio tutto il bestiame, piccolo e grosso, il qual fu condotto davanti a quelle gregge. E si diceva: Questa è la preda di Davide
21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.	21 Poi Davide venne a que’ dugent’uomini, ch’erano stati tanto stanchi, che non erano potuti andar dietro a lui; onde egli li avea fatti rimanere al torrente di Besor; ed essi uscirono incontro a Davide, e incontro alla gente che era con lui. E Davide, accostatosi a quella gente, li salutò.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.	22 Ma tutti gli uomini malvagi e scellerati, d’infra coloro ch’erano andati con Davide, si mossero a dire: Poichè essi non son venuti con noi, noi non daremo loro nulla della preda che abbiamo riscossa, se non a ciascuno la sua moglie, e i suoi figliuoli; e se li menino via, e vadano.
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.	23 Ma Davide disse: Non fate così, fratelli miei, di ciò che il Signore ci ha dato; avendoci egli guardati, e avendoci dati nelle mani quegli scherani ch’eran venuti contro a noi.
24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.	24 E chi vi acconsentirebbe in questo affare? perciocchè la parte di chi dimora appresso alla salmeria dev’essere uguale a quella di chi scende alla battaglia; essi debbono partir fra loro.
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.	25 E questo è stato osservato da quel dì innanzi; e Davide lo stabilì per istatuto e legge in Israele, che dura infino ad oggi.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;	26 Poi Davide, essendo tornato in Siclag, mandò di quella preda agli Anziani di Giuda, suoi amici, dicendo: Eccovi un presente della preda de’ nemici del Signore.
27 To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,	27 Egli ne mandò a quelli ch’erano in Betel, ed a quelli che’ erano in Ramot meridionale, e a quelli che erano in Iatir,
28 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,	28 ed a quelli ch’erano in Aroer, ed a quelli ch’erano in Sifmot, ed a quelli ch’erano in Estemoa,
29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,	29 ed a quelli ch’erano in Racal, ed a quelli ch’erano nelle città de’ Ierameeliti, e a quelli ch’erano nelle città de’ Chenei,
30 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach,	30 ed a quelli ch’erano in Horma, e a quelli ch’erano in Corasan, ed a quelli ch’erano in Atac,
31 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.	31 ed a quelli ch’erano in Hebron, e in tutti gli altri luoghi, ne’ quali Davide era andato e venuto con la sua gente
