Primo libro delle Cronache 14

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David et ligna cedrina et artifices parietum lignorumque, ut aedificarent ei domum.	1 Hiram, king of Tyre, sent envoys to David along with masons and carpenters, and cedar wood to build him a house.
2 Cognovitque David quod confirmasset eum Dominus in regem super Israel et sublevatum esset regnum suum propter populum eius Israel.	2 David now understood that the LORD had truly confirmed him as king over Israel, for his kingdom was greatly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
3 Accepit quoque David alias uxores in Ierusalem genuitque filios et filias;	3 David took other wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 et haec nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Ierusalem: Samua et Sobab, Nathan et Salomon,	4 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Iebahar et Elisua et Eliphalet,	5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Noga quoque et Napheg et Iaphia,	6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elisama et Beeliada et Eliphalet.	7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Audientes autem Philisthim quod unctus esset David in regem super universum Israel, ascenderunt omnes, ut quaererent eum; quod cum audisset David, egressus est obviam eis.	8 When the Philistines had heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, they went up in unison to seek him out. But when David heard of this, he marched out against them.
9 Porro Philisthim venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim.	9 Meanwhile the Philistines had come and raided the valley of Rephaim.
10 Consuluitque David Deum dicens: “ Si ascendam contra Philisthaeos, et si trades eos in manu mea? ”. Et dixit ei Dominus: “ Ascende, et tradam eos in manu tua ”.	10 David inquired of God, "Shall I advance against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my power?" The LORD answered him, "Advance, for I will deliver them into your power."
11 Cumque illi ascendissent in Baalpharasim, percussit eos ibi David et dixit: “ Dirupit Deus inimicos meos per manum meam sicut dirumpuntur aquae ”. Et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius Baalpharasim (id est Dominus diruptionum).	11 They advanced, therefore, to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, "God has used me to break through my enemies just as water breaks through a dam." Therefore that place was called Baal-perazim.
12 Dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos, quos David iussit exuri.	12 The Philistines had left their gods there, and David ordered them to be burnt.
13 Alia etiam vice Philisthim irruerunt et diffusi sunt in valle;	13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley,
14 consuluitque rursum David Deum, et dixit ei Deus: “ Non ascendas post eos; circumdabis eos et venies contra illos ex adverso arborum celthium;	14 and again David inquired of God. But God answered him: "Do not try to pursue them, but go around them and come upon them from the direction of the mastic trees.
15 cumque audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine arborum celthium, tunc egredieris ad bellum; egressus est enim Deus ante te, ut percutias castra Philisthim ”.	15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mastic trees, then go forth to battle, for God has already gone before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
16 Fecit ergo David, sicut praeceperat ei Deus, et percussit castra Philisthinorum de Gabaon usque Gazer.	16 David did as God commanded him, and they routed the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 Divulgatumque est nomen David in universis regionibus, et Dominus dedit pavorem eius super omnes gentes.	17 Thus David's fame was spread abroad through every land, and the LORD made all the nations fear him.
