1 Samuel 7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 And the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD, and brought it to the house of Abinadab on the hill; and they consecrated his son, Eleazar, to have charge of the ark of the LORD.	1 E vennero quelli di Cariatiarim, e rimenarono l'arca di Dio, e portaronla in casa di Aminadab in Gabaa; e santificarono Eleazaro suo figliuolo, acciò che guardasse l'arca di Dio.
2 From the day that the ark was lodged at Kiriath-jearim, a long time passed, some twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.	2 E fu fatto, dal dì che l'arca istette in Cariatiarim, che i dì moltiplicarono; onde era l'anno vigesimo; e tutta la casa d' Israel riposò dopo il Signore.
3 Then Samuel said to all the house of Israel, "If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your heart to the LORD, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."	3 E Samuel disse a tutta la casa d'Israel: se voi tornate al vostro Signore Iddio con tutto il vostro cuore, tollete via del mezzo di voi gli dii d'altrui, Baalim e Astarot; e apparecchiate i vostri cuori a Dio, e servite a lui solo, ed egli vi libererà dalle mani de' Filistei.
4 So Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and they served the LORD only.	4 E i figliuoli d' Israel tolsero via Baalim e Astarot, e servirono solo al Signore.
5 Then Samuel said, "Gather all Israel at Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you."	5 E Samuel disse; raunate tutto Israel in Masfat, acciò ch' io ori per voi il Signore.
6 So they gathered at Mizpah, and drew water and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.	6 E raunaronsi in Masfat; e trassero l'acqua, e sparserla in cospetto di Dio, e digiunarono in quel dì, e dissero: Signore, noi abbiamo peccato a te. E giudicò Samuel i figliuoli d' Israel in Masfat.
7 Now when the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the people of Israel heard of it they were afraid of the Philistines.	7 E i Filistei udirono che i figliuoli d' Israel erano congregati in Masfat, e i savii de' Filistei ascenderono ad Israel. La quale cosa udendo i figliuoli d' Israel, temerono la presenza de' Filistei.
8 And the people of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines."	8 E dissono a Samuel: non cessare di chiamare per noi al nostro Signore Iddio, che ci salvi delle mani de' Filistei.
9 So Samuel took a sucking lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD; and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.	9 E tolse Samuel uno agnello lattante, e offerillo integro in olocausto a Dio; e chiamò Samuel a Dio per Israel, ed esaudillo il Signore.
10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel; but the LORD thundered with a mighty voice that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion; and they were routed before Israel.	10 E offerendo Samuel olocausto, intervenne che i Filistei cominciarono la battaglia contro ad Israel; e Dominedio tonò in quel di sopra gli Filistei con grande rumore, e spaventogli, e furon tagliati dai figliuoli d' Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.	11 E usciti i figliuoli d' Israel di Masfat, perseguitorono i Filistei insino al luogo ch' era sotto Betcar.
12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, "Hitherto the LORD has helped us."	12 E Samuel tolse una pietra, e puosela tra Masfat e Sen; e chiamò il nome di quello luogo PIETRA D'ADIUTORIO, e disse: insino a quiritta Iddio Signore n'ha aiutati.
13 So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.	13 E furono umiliati gli Filistei, e non presumerono più entrare nelli confini d' Israel. E fu fatta la mano di Dio sopra gli Filistei tutto il tempo di Samuel.
14 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel rescued their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.	14 E furono rendute tutte le città che i Filistei aveano tolte ai figliuoli d' Israel, da Accaron insino a Get e a' suoi confini; e liberò Israel dalle mani de' Filistei, ed era pace tra Israel e lo Amorreo.
15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.	15 E Samuel giudicava Israel per tutti i dì della sua vita.
16 And he went on a circuit year by year to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all these places.	16 E andava ogni anno cercando Betel e Galgala e Masfat; e in quelli luoghi giudicava Israel.
17 Then he would come back to Ramah, for his home was there, and there also he administered justice to Israel. And he built there an altar to the LORD.	17 E ritornavasi in Ramata, però che ivi era la sua casa; e ivi giudicava Israel; e ivi edificò l'altare al Signore.
