Primo libro delle Cronache 10

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Philisthim autem pugnabant contra Israel, fugeruntque viri Israel a facie Philisthim et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboe;	1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.
2 cumque appropinquassent Philisthaei persequentes Saul et filios eius, percusserunt Ionathan et Abinadab et Melchisua filios Saul.	2 And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
3 Et aggravatum est proelium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii et vulneraverunt iaculis;	3 And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
4 et dixit Saul ad armigerum suum: “ Evagina gladium tuum et interfice me, ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti et illudant mihi ”. Noluit autem armiger eius hoc facere timore perterritus. Arripuit igitur Saul ensem et irruit in eum;	4 And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5 quod cum vidisset armiger eius, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum et mortuus est.	5 And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
6 Interiit ergo Saul et tres filii eius; omnis domus illius pariter concidit.	6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
7 Quod cum vidissent omnes viri Israel, qui habitabant in campestribus, quod fugissent, et mortui essent Saul et filii eius, dereliquerunt urbes suas et huc illucque dispersi sunt; veneruntque Philisthim et habitaverunt in eis.	7 And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this, they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities, and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.
8 Die igitur altero venerunt Philisthim, ut spoliarent interfectos, et invenerunt Saul et filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe;	8 And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
9 cumque spoliassent eum et amputassent caput armisque nudassent, miserunt in terram suam per circuitum, ut annuntiaretur in idolorum templis et in populis.	9 And when they had stripped him, and cut off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
10 Arma autem eius consecraverunt in fano Astharoth et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.	10 And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
11 Hoc cum audissent viri Iabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quae Philisthim fecerunt super Saul,	11 And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 consurrexerunt omnes viri fortes et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum eius attuleruntque ea in Iabes et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum, quae erat in Iabes, et ieiunaverunt septem diebus.	12 All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
13 Mortuus est ergo Saul propter iniquitatem suam, eo quod praevaricatus sit mandatum Domini, quod praeceperat, et non custodierit illud, sed insuper etiam pythonissam consuluerit	13 So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,
14 nec quaesierit Dominum; propter quod et interfecit eum et transtulit regnum eius ad David filium Isai.	14 And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
