KING JAMES BIBLEBIBBIA MARTINI
1 And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.1 Andarono adunque gli uomini di Cariath-iarim, e condusser via l'arca del Signore, e la portarono dentro la casa di Abinadab in Gabaa: e consecrarono il suo figliuolo Eleazaro, perchè custodisse l'arca del Signore.
2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.2 E dal dì, in cui l’arca del Signore fu posata in Cariath-iarim, era scorso assai tempo (perocché era già l’anno vigesimo) e tutta la casa d'Israele ebbe pace, seguendo il Signore.
3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.3 Quando Samuele parlò a tutta la casa d’Israele, e disse: Se voi con tutto il cuor vostro tornate al Signore, togliete di mezzo a voi gli dei stranieri, Baal, e Astaroth: e preparate i vostri cuori al Signore, e servite a lui solo, ed egli vi libererà dalle mani dei Filistei.
4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.4 Quindi i figliuoli d'Israele tolser via Baal, e Astaroth, e servirono al solo Signore.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.5 E Samuele disse: Raunate tutto Israele a Masphath, affinchè io preghi il Signore per voi.
6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, 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 children of Israel in Mizpeh.6 E si adunarono a Masphath: e attinsero dell'acqua, e la sparsero dinanzi al Signore, e digiunarono quel giorno, e ivi diceano: Abbiam peccato contro il Signore. E Samuele fece le funzioni di giudice d'Israele in Masphath.
7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.7 E seppero i Filistei, come i figliuoli d'Israele erano congregati a Masphath, e mossero i satrapi de' Filistei contro Israele. La qual cosa avendo udita i figliuoli d’Israele, temerono l’incontro dei Filistei.
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.8 E dissero a Samuele: Non intermettere di alzar la tua voce al Signore Dio nostro per noi, affinchè ci salvi dalle mani de' Filistei.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.9 E Samuele prese un agnello di latte, e l’offerì intero in olocausto al Signore: e alzò Samuele le sue voci al Signore per Israele, e il Signore lo esaudì.
10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.10 Or egli avvenne, che mentre Samuele offeriva l’olocausto al Signore, i Filistei assalirono Israele; ma il Signore tuonò con fracasso grande in quel dì contro i Filistei, e gli atterri, e furono sconfitti da Israele.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.11 E i figliuoli d'Israele usciti di Masphath, inseguirono i Filistei, trucidandoli sino al luogo che rimane al di sotto di Bethchar.
12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.12 E Samuele prese una pietra, e la pose tra Masphath, e Sen: e diede a quel luogo il nome di pietra del soccorso. E disse: Sin qua ci ha soccorsi il Signore.
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.13 E i Filistei furono umiliati, e non tentaron più di entrare dentro i confini d'Israele. E la man del Signore si fè sentire a' Filistei per tutto il tempo di Samuele.
14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.14 E furon restituite ad Israele le città tolte a Israele da' Filistei, da Accaron fino a Geth col suo territorio: ed egli liberò Israele dal potere de' Filistei, e fu pace tra Israele e gli Amorrhei.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.15 Or Samuele fu giudice d’Israele per tutto il tempo di sua vita.
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.16 E andava tutti gli anni in giro a Bethel, e a Galgala, e a Masphath ed esercitava la giudicatura d'Israele in questi luoghi.
17 And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.17 E si tornava a Ramatha: perocché ivi egli avea sua casa, e ivi pur giudicava Israele: vi edificò eziandio un altare al Signore.
