2 Samuel 1

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
1 After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, David remained two days in Ziklag;	1 Factum est autem, postquam mortuus est Saul, ut David reverteretur a cæde Amalec, et maneret in Siceleg duos dies.
2 and on the third day, behold, a man came from Saul's camp, with his clothes rent and earth upon his head. And when he came to David, he fell to the ground and did obeisance.	2 In die autem tertia apparuit homo veniens de castris Saul veste conscissa, et pulvere conspersus caput : et ut venit ad David, cecidit super faciem suam, et adoravit.
3 David said to him, "Where do you come from?" And he said to him, "I have escaped from the camp of Israel."	3 Dixitque ad eum David : Unde venis ? Qui ait ad eum : De castris Israël fugi.
4 And David said to him, "How did it go? Tell me." And he answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead."	4 Et dixit ad eum David : Quod est verbum quod factum est ? indica mihi. Qui ait : Fugit populus ex prælio, et multi corruentes e populo mortui sunt : sed et Saul et Jonathas filius ejus interierunt.
5 Then David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"	5 Dixitque David ad adolescentem qui nuntiabat ei : Unde scis quia mortuus est Saul, et Jonathas filius ejus ?
6 And the young man who told him said, "By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa; and there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and lo, the chariots and the horsemen were close upon him.	6 Et ait adolescens qui nuntiabat ei : Casu veni in montem Gelboë, et Saul incumbebat super hastam suam : porro currus et equites appropinquabant ei,
7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, 'Here I am.'	7 et conversus post tergum suum, vidensque me, vocavit. Cui cum respondissem : Adsum :
8 And he said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'	8 dixit mihi : Quisnam es tu ? Et aio ad eum : Amalecites ego sum.
9 And he said to me, 'Stand beside me and slay me; for anguish has seized me, and yet my life still lingers.'	9 Et locutus est mihi : Sta super me, et interfice me : quoniam tenent me angustiæ, et adhuc tota anima mea in me est.
10 So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen; and I took the crown which was on his head and the armlet which was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."	10 Stansque super eum, occidi illum : sciebam enim quod vivere non poterat post ruinam : et tuli diadema quod erat in capite ejus, et armillam de brachio illius, et attuli ad te dominum meum huc.
11 Then David took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and so did all the men who were with him;	11 Apprehendens autem David, vestimenta sua scidit, omnesque viri qui erant cum eo,
12 and they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son and for the people of the LORD and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.	12 et planxerunt, et fleverunt, et jejunaverunt usque ad vesperam super Saul, et super Jonathan filium ejus, et super populum Domini, et super domum Israël, eo quod corruissent gladio.
13 And David said to the young man who told him, "Where do you come from?" And he answered, "I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite."	13 Dixitque David ad juvenem qui nuntiaverat ei : Unde es tu ? Qui respondit : Filius hominis advenæ Amalecitæ ego sum.
14 David said to him, "How is it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"	14 Et ait ad eum David : Quare non timuisti mittere manum tuam ut occideres christum Domini ?
15 Then David called one of the young men and said, "Go, fall upon him." And he smote him so that he died.	15 Vocansque David unum de pueris suis, ait : Accedens irrue in eum. Qui percussit illum, et mortuus est.
16 And David said to him, "Your blood be upon your head; for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have slain the LORD's anointed.'"	16 Et ait ad eum David : Sanguis tuus super caput tuum : os enim tuum locutum est adversum te, dicens : Ego interfeci christum Domini.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son,	17 Planxit autem David planctum hujuscemodi super Saul, et super Jonathan filium ejus
18 and he said it should be taught to the people of Judah; behold, it is written in the Book of Jashar. He said:	18 (et præcepit ut docerent filios Juda arcum, sicut scriptum est in libro justorum), et ait : Considera, Israël, pro his qui mortui sunt, super excelsa tua vulnerati.
19 "Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!	19 Inclyti Israël super montes tuos interfecti sunt : quomodo ceciderunt fortes ?
20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.	20 Nolite annuntiare in Geth, neque annuntietis in compitis Ascalonis : ne forte lætentur filiæ Philisthiim ; ne exultent filiæ incircumcisorum.
21 "Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you, nor upsurging of the deep! For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.	21 Montes Gelboë, nec ros, nec pluvia veniant super vos, neque sint agri primitiarum : quia ibi abjectus est clypeus fortium : clypeus Saul, quasi non esset unctus oleo.
22 "From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.	22 A sanguine interfectorum, ab adipe fortium, sagitta Jonathæ numquam rediit retrorsum, et gladius Saul non est reversus inanis.
23 "Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely! In life and in death they were not divided; they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.	23 Saul et Jonathas amabiles, et decori in vita sua, in morte quoque non sunt divisi : aquilis velociores, leonibus fortiores.
24 "Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you daintily in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.	24 Filiæ Israël, super Saul flete, qui vestiebat vos coccino in deliciis, qui præbebat ornamenta aurea cultui vestro.
25 "How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! "Jonathan lies slain upon thy high places.	25 Quomodo ceciderunt fortes in prælio ? Jonathas in excelsis tuis occisus est ?
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant have you been to me; your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.	26 Doleo super te, frater mi Jonatha, decore nimis, et amabilis super amorem mulierum. Sicut mater unicum amat filium suum, ita ego te diligebam.
27 "How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!"	27 Quomodo ceciderunt robusti, et perierunt arma bellica ?
