Samuelis I 11

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Ascendit autem Naas Am monites et pugnare coepit ad versum Iabes Galaad. Dixeruntque omnes viri Iabes ad Naas: “ Habeto nos foederatos, et serviemus tibi ”.	1 Then Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh-gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you."
2 Et respondit ad eos Naas Ammonites: “ In hoc feriam vobiscum foedus, ut eruam omnium vestrum oculos dextros ponamque vos opprobrium in universo Israel ”.	2 But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "On this condition I will make a treaty with you, that I gouge out all your right eyes, and thus put disgrace upon all Israel."
3 Et dixerunt ad eum seniores Iabes: “ Concede nobis septem dies, ut mittamus nuntios in universos terminos Israel; et, si non fuerit qui defendat nos, egrediemur ad te ”.	3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven days respite that we may send messengers through all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will give ourselves up to you."
4 Venerunt ergo nuntii in Gabaa Saulis et locuti sunt verba audiente populo; et levavit omnis populus vocem suam et flevit.	4 When the messengers came to Gibe-ah of Saul, they reported the matter in the ears of the people; and all the people wept aloud.
5 Et ecce Saul veniebat sequens boves de agro et ait: “ Quid habet populus quod plorat? ”. Et narraverunt ei verba virorum Iabes.	5 Now Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen; and Saul said, "What ails the people, that they are weeping?" So they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
6 Et insilivit spiritus Domini in Saul, cum audisset verba haec; et iratus est furor eius nimis.	6 And the spirit of God came mightily upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled.
7 Et assumens par boum concidit in frusta misitque in omnes terminos Israel per manum nuntiorum dicens: “ Quicumque non exierit secutusque fuerit Saul et Samuel, sic fiet bobus eius ”. Invasit ergo timor Domini populum, et egressi sunt quasi vir unus.	7 He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not come out after Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen!" Then the dread of the LORD fell upon the people, and they came out as one man.
8 Et recensuit eos in Bezec: fueruntque filiorum Israel trecenta milia; virorum autem Iudae triginta milia.	8 When he mustered them at Bezek, the men of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 Et dixit nuntiis, qui venerant: “ Sic dicetis viris, qui sunt in Iabes Galaad: Cras erit vobis salus, cum incaluerit sol ”. Venerunt ergo nuntii et annuntiaverunt viris Iabes, qui laetati sunt	9 And they said to the messengers who had come, "Thus shall you say to the men of Jabesh-gilead: Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.'" When the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh, they were glad.
10 et dixerunt: “Mane exibimus ad vos, et facietis nobis omne, quod placuerit vobis ”.	10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will give ourselves up to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you."
11 Et factum est, cum venisset dies crastinus, constituit Saul populum in tres partes; et ingressi sunt media castra in vigilia matutina et percusserunt Ammon, usque dum incalesceret dies. Reliqui autem dispersi sunt, ita ut non relinquerentur in eis duo pariter.	11 And on the morrow Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and cut down the Ammonites until the heat of the day; and those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12 Et ait populus ad Samuel: “ Quis est iste qui dixit: “Saul num regnabit super nos?”. Date viros, et interficiemus eos ”.	12 Then the people said to Samuel, "Who is it that said, Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death."
13 Et ait Saul: “ Non occidetur quisquam in die hac, quia hodie fecit Dominus salutem in Israel”.	13 But Saul said, "Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has wrought deliverance in Israel."
14 Dixit autem Samuel ad populum: “ Venite, et eamus in Galgala et innovemus ibi regnum ”.	14 Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingdom."
15 Et perrexit omnis populus in Galgala, et fecerunt ibi regem Saul coram Domino in Galgala; et immolaverunt ibi victimas pacificas coram Domino. Et laetatus est ibi Saul et cuncti viri Israel nimis.	15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they sacrificed peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
