1 Samuel 19

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 Now Saul spoke to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, so that they would kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David very much.	1 E Saul disse a Ionata suo figliuolo, e a tutti i servi suoi, che uccidessero David. Ma Ionata figliuolo di Saul amava molto David.
2 And Jonathan revealed it to David, saying: “Saul, my father, is seeking to kill you. Because of this, I ask you, take care for yourself in the morning. And you should conceal yourself and remain in hiding.	2 E significò Ionata a David, dicendo: Saul mio padre cerca di ucciderti, onde io ti prego, che tu ti guardi di mattina, e che tu stii nascoso.
3 Then I, going out, will be standing beside my father in the field, where you will be. And I will speak about you to my father. And whatever I see, I will report to you.”	3 E io, uscendo fuori, starò appo il padre mio nel campo, in qualunque luogo lui sarà; e io parlerò di te al mio padre, e ciò ch' io vedrò ti farò a sapere.
4 Then Jonathan spoke good things about David to his father Saul. And he said to him: “You should not sin, O king, against your servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his works toward you are very good.	4 E favellò Ionata al suo padre bene di David, e disse: re, non peccare nel tuo servo David; però ch' egli non ha peccato in te, e le opere sue ti sono molto buone.
5 And he took his life in his own hand, and struck down the Philistine. And the Lord wrought a great salvation for all of Israel. You saw it, and you rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without guilt?”	5 E ha posta l'anima sua nelle sue mani, ed egli uccise il Filisteo, e il Signore fece grande salute in Israel. Tu il vedesti, e avestine grande allegrezza. Dunque perchè pecchi tu nel sangue innocente, uccidendo David il quale è senza colpa?
6 And when Saul had heard this, being pleased by the voice of Jonathan, he swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”	6 La quale cosa udita, Saul fu umiliato alla voce di Ionata, e giurò: vive il Signore, che David non sarà morto.
7 And so Jonathan called David, and he revealed to him all of these words. And Jonathan led in David to Saul, and he was before him, just as he had been yesterday and the day before.	7 E Ionata chiamò David, e significogli tutte queste parole, e menollo a Saul; e fue dinanzi a lui, sì come era istato ieri e l'altro.
8 Then the war was stirred up again. And David went out and fought against the Philistines. And he struck them down with a great slaughter. And they fled from his face.	8 E da capo sì cominciò guerra; e David uscì a combattere contro a' Filistei, e percossegli di grande piaga, e fuggirono dinanzi da lui.
9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came to Saul, who was sitting in his house and holding a lance. And David was playing music with his hand.	9 E lo spirito maligno venne in Saul; e sedea in casa sua, e tenea una lancia; e David sonava con la sua mano.
10 And Saul attempted to fix David to the wall with the lance. But David turned aside from the face of Saul. And the lance failed to wound him, and it became fixed in the wall. And David fled, and so he was saved that night.	10 E Saul si sforzò di conficcare David al parete, e David si partì dal suo cospetto; e la lancia, andata in fallo, percosse nella parete; e David fuggì, e quella notte si guardò.
11 Therefore, Saul sent his guards to David’s house, so that they might watch for him, and so that he might be killed in the morning. And after Michal, his wife, had reported this to David, saying, “Unless you save yourself this night, tomorrow you will die,”	11 E Saul (in quella notte) mandò i suoi cavalieri alla casa di David, che lo guardassono, acciò che la mattina l'uccidessero. La quale cosa significò a David Micol sua moglie, e disse: se non ti guardi questa notte, domattina sarai morto.
12 she lowered him down through a window. Then he fled and went away, and he was saved.	12 Ed ella il calò di fuori per una fenestra; ed egli fuggì, e salvossi.
13 Then Michal took a statue, and placed it on the bed. And she placed the pelt of a goat for the hair at its head. And she covered it with clothes.	13 E Micol tolse una statua, e puosela sopra il letto (di David), e una pelle di capre pelosa gli puose al capo, e copersela colla vestimenta.
14 And Saul sent attendants to seize David. And it was answered that he was sick.	14 E Saul mandò gente, che pigliassero David; e fue resposto, che avea male.
15 And again, Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him to me on the bed, so that he may be killed.”	15 E Saul ancora mandò messaggi, i quali vedessero David, e disse: recatelo a me, acciò che sia morto.
16 And when the messengers had arrived, they found a likeness on the bed, with a goat pelt at its head.	16 E venuti gli messaggi, trovarono una statua nel letto con una pelle al capo.
17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me in this way, and released my enemy, so that he may flee?” And Michal responded to Saul, “Because he said to me, ‘Release me, otherwise I will kill you.’ ”	17 E Saul disse a Micol: perchè mi hai tu così beffato, e hai lasciato fuggire il mio nemico? E Micol rispuose a Saul: egli mi disse: se tu non mi lascerai andare, io ti ucciderò.
18 Now David was saved by fleeing, and he went to Samuel in Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went away and stayed at Naioth.	18 E David si salvò, e fuggendo se n'andò a Samuel in Ramata, e significogli tutto quello che Saul gli avea fatto. Ed egli e Samuel se n'andarono in Naiot (in Ramata).
19 Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah.”	19 E fue significato a Saul da persone che dissero: ecco che David è in Naiot in Ramata.
20 Therefore, Saul sent officers to seize David. And when they had seen a company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord also came to them, and they also began to prophesy.	20 E Saul mandò sergenti, che prendessero David; li quali veggendo una compagnia di profeti, e Samuel il quale istava sopra di loro, fu fatto lo Spirito di Dio sopra li messaggi di Saul, e cominciarono loro ancora a profetare.
21 And when this was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. But they also prophesied. And again, Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also prophesied. And Saul, being exceedingly angry,	21 La quale cosa nunziata a Saul, mandò altri messaggi; li quali anco profetarono. Ed anco mandò Saul messi, i quali ancora cominciarono a profetare. E adirossi Saul di grande ira.
22 also went to Ramah himself. And he went as far as the great cistern, which is in Socoh. And he inquired and said, “In which place are Samuel and David?” And it was told to him, “Behold, they are at Naioth, in Ramah.”	22 E andò in Ramata egli stesso, e venne insino alla cisterna grande la quale è in Soco, e domandò, e disse: dov'è Samuel e David? E fuglì detto: egli sono in Naiot in Ramata.
23 And he went to Naioth, in Ramah, and the Spirit of the Lord came to him also. And he continued on, walking and prophesying, until he arrived at Naioth, in Ramah.	23 Elli andò in Naiot in Ramata; e fu fatto sopra di lui lo Spirito di Dio, e andava e profetava, insino che venne in Naiot in Ramata.
24 And he also took off his garments, and he prophesied with the others before Samuel. And he fell down naked, throughout that day and night. From this, too, is derived the proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”	24 E spogliossi le sue vestimenta, e profetò con esso gli altri in cospetto di Samuel. E profetò, tutto quello dì e la notte, ignudo. Onde uscio proverbio: egli è Saul tra i profeti?
