2 Samuel 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 And all the tribes of Israel went to David in Hebron, saying: “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.	1 ALLORA tutte le tribù d’Israele vennero a Davide in Hebron, e gli dissero così: Ecco, noi siamo tue ossa e tua carne.
2 Moreover, yesterday and the day before, when Saul was king over us, you were the one leading out and leading back Israel. Then the Lord said to you, ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over Israel.’ ”	2 Ed anche per addietro, mentre Saulle era re sopra noi, tu eri quel che conducevi Israele fuori e dentro. E il Signore ti ha detto: Tu pascerai il mio popolo Israele, e sarai il conduttore sopra Israele.
3 Also, the elders of Israel went to the king at Hebron, and king David struck a pact with them at Hebron in the sight of the Lord. And they anointed David as king over Israel.	3 Così tutti gli Anziani d’Israele vennero al re, in Hebron; e il re Davide patteggiò con loro in Hebron, in presenza del Signore. Ed essi unsero Davide per re sopra Israele.
4 David was a son of thirty years, when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for forty years.	4 Davide era d’età di trent’anni, quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò quarant’anni.
5 In Hebron, he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months. Then in Jerusalem, he reigned for thirty-three years over all of Israel and Judah.	5 In Hebron regnò sopra Giuda sette anni e sei mesi; ed in Gerusalemme regnò trentatrè anni sopra tutto Israele e Giuda
6 And the king, and all the men who were with him, went away to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. And it was said to David by them, “You shall not enter here, unless you will take away the blind and the lame, who say, ‘David shall not enter here.’ ”	6 Ora il re andò, con la sua gente, in Gerusalemme, contro ai Gebusei che abitavano nel paese; ed essi dissero a Davide: Tu non entrerai qua entro, che tu non ne abbia cacciati i ciechi e gli zoppi; volendo dire: Davide non entrerà mai qua entro.
7 But David seized the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.	7 Ma Davide prese la fortezza di Sion, che è la città di Davide.
8 For David had proposed, on that day, a reward to him who had struck the Jebusites and who had reached to the gutters of the rooftops, and who had taken away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David. Therefore, it is said in the proverb, “The blind and the lame shall not enter into the temple.”	8 E Davide disse in quel dì: Chiunque percoterà i Gebusei, e perverrà fino al canale, ed a que’ ciechi e zoppi, i quali l’anima di Davide odia, sarà capitano: perciò si dice: Nè cieco nè zoppo non entrerà in questa casa.
9 Then David lived in the stronghold, and he called it: the City of David. And he built it up on all sides, from Millo and inward.	9 E Davide abitò in quella fortezza, e le pose nome: La Città di Davide. E Davide edificò d’intorno dal terrapieno in dentro.
10 And he advanced, prospering and increasing, and the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.	10 E Davide andava del continuo crescendo, e il Signore Iddio degli eserciti era con lui
11 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, with cedar wood, and with builders of wood and builders of stone, in order to make walls. And they built a house for David.	11 Ed Hiram, re di Tiro, mandò a Davide ambasciatori, e legname di cedri, e legnaiuoli, e scarpellini, i quali edificarono una casa a Davide.
12 And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.	12 E Davide conobbe che il Signore l’aveva stabilito re sopra Israele, e ch’egli avea innalzato il suo regno, per amor del suo popolo Israele.
13 Then David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had arrived from Hebron. And other sons as well as daughters were born to David.	13 E Davide prese ancora delle concubine, e delle mogli di Gerusalemme, dopo ch’egli fu venuto di Hebron; e nacquero ancora a Davide altri figliuoli e figliuole.
14 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,	14 E questi sono i nomi di quelli che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme: Sammua, e Sobab, e Natan, e Salomone;
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg,	15 e Ibhar, ed Elisua, e Nefeg, e Iafia;
16 and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and Elipheleth.	16 ed Elisama, ed Eliada, ed Elifelet
17 Then the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel. And they all ascended, so that they might seek David. And when David had heard of it, he descended to a stronghold.	17 Ora, quando i Filistei ebbero inteso che Davide era stato unto per re sopra Israele, salirono tutti per cercarlo. E Davide, avendolo udito, discese alla fortezza.
18 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.	18 Ed i Filistei vennero, e si sparsero nella valle de’ Rafei.
19 And David consulted the Lord, saying: “Shall I ascend to the Philistines? And will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David: “Ascend. For I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”	19 Allora Davide domandò il Signore, dicendo: Salirò io contro a’ Filistei? me li darai tu nelle mani? E il Signore disse a Davide: Sali; perciocchè io del tutto ti darò i Filistei nelle mani.
20 Therefore, David went to Baal-perazim. And he struck them there. And he said, “The Lord has divided my enemies before me, just as the waters are divided.” Because of this, the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.	20 Davide adunque venne in Baal-perasim, e quivi li percosse; poi disse: Il Signore ha rotti i miei nemici davanti a me a guisa d’un trabocco d’acque; perciò pose nome a quel luogo Baal-perasim.
21 And in that place they left behind their graven images, which David and his men took away.	21 Ed i Filistei lasciarono quivi i loro idoli, i quali Davide e la sua gente tolsero via.
22 And the Philistines continued still, so that they ascended and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.	22 Poi i Filistei salirono di nuovo, e si sparsero nella valle de’ Rafei.
23 Then David consulted the Lord, “Shall I ascend against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hands?” And he responded: “You shall not ascend against them; instead, circle behind their back. And you shall come to them from the side opposite the balsam trees.	23 E Davide domandò il Signore, il quale gli disse: Non salire; gira dietro a loro, e vienli ad incontrare dirincontro a’ gelsi.
24 And when you hear the sound of something going forth from the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall begin the battle. For then the Lord will go forth, before your face, so that he may strike the army of the Philistines.”	24 E quando tu udirai un romor di calpestio sopra le cime de’ gelsi, allora moviti; perciocchè allora il Signore sarà uscito davanti a te, per percuotere il campo de’ Filistei.
25 And so, David did just as the Lord had instructed him. And he struck down the Philistines, from Gibeon until you arrive at Gezer.	25 Davide adunque fece così, come il Signore gli avea comandato; e percosse i Filistei, da Gheba fino in Ghezer
