1 Samuel 7

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 And then men of Cariathiarim came and fetched up the ark of the Lord and carried it into the house of Abinadab in Gabaa: and they sanctified Eleazar his son, to keep the ark of the Lord.	1 E vennero quelli di Cariatiarim, e rimenarono l'arca di Dio, e portaronla in casa di Aminadab in Gabaa; e santificarono Eleazaro suo figliuolo, acciò che guardasse l'arca di Dio.
2 And it came to pass, that from the day the ark of the Lord abode in Cariathiarim days were multiplied, (for it was now the twentieth year,) and all the house of Israel rested following the Lord.	2 E fu fatto, dal dì che l'arca istette in Cariatiarim, che i dì moltiplicarono; onde era l'anno vigesimo; e tutta la casa d' Israel riposò dopo il Signore.
3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying: If you turn to the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, Baalim and Astaroth: and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.	3 E Samuel disse a tutta la casa d'Israel: se voi tornate al vostro Signore Iddio con tutto il vostro cuore, tollete via del mezzo di voi gli dii d'altrui, Baalim e Astarot; e apparecchiate i vostri cuori a Dio, e servite a lui solo, ed egli vi libererà dalle mani de' Filistei.
4 Then the children of Israel put away Baalim and Astaroth, and served the Lord only.	4 E i figliuoli d' Israel tolsero via Baalim e Astarot, e servirono solo al Signore.
5 And Samuel said: Gather all Israel to Masphath, that I may pray to the Lord for you.	5 E Samuel disse; raunate tutto Israel in Masfat, acciò ch' io ori per voi il Signore.
6 And they gathered together to Masphath: and they drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and they fasted on that day, and they said there: We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Masphath.	6 E raunaronsi in Masfat; e trassero l'acqua, e sparserla in cospetto di Dio, e digiunarono in quel dì, e dissero: Signore, noi abbiamo peccato a te. E giudicò Samuel i figliuoli d' Israel in Masfat.
7 And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Masphath, and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines.	7 E i Filistei udirono che i figliuoli d' Israel erano congregati in Masfat, e i savii de' Filistei ascenderono ad Israel. La quale cosa udendo i figliuoli d' Israel, temerono la presenza de' Filistei.
8 And they said to Samuel: Cease not to cry to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us out of the hand of the Philistines.	8 E dissono a Samuel: non cessare di chiamare per noi al nostro Signore Iddio, che ci salvi delle mani de' Filistei.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it whole for a holocaust to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.	9 E tolse Samuel uno agnello lattante, e offerillo integro in olocausto a Dio; e chiamò Samuel a Dio per Israel, ed esaudillo il Signore.
10 And it came to pass, when Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and terrified them, and they were overthrown before the face of Israel.	10 E offerendo Samuel olocausto, intervenne che i Filistei cominciarono la battaglia contro ad Israel; e Dominedio tonò in quel di sopra gli Filistei con grande rumore, e spaventogli, e furon tagliati dai figliuoli d' Israel.
11 And the men of Israel going out of Masphath pursued after the Philistines, and made slaughter of them till they came under Bethchar.	11 E usciti i figliuoli d' Israel di Masfat, perseguitorono i Filistei insino al luogo ch' era sotto Betcar.
12 And Samuel took a stone, and laid it between Masphath and Sen: and he called the place, the Stone of help. And he said: Thus far the Lord hath helped us.	12 E Samuel tolse una pietra, e puosela tra Masfat e Sen; e chiamò il nome di quello luogo PIETRA D'ADIUTORIO, e disse: insino a quiritta Iddio Signore n'ha aiutati.
13 And the Philistines were humbled, and they did not come any more into the borders of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines, all the days of Samuel.	13 E furono umiliati gli Filistei, e non presumerono più entrare nelli confini d' Israel. E fu fatta la mano di Dio sopra gli Filistei tutto il tempo di Samuel.
14 And the cities, which the Philistines had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Accaron to Geth, and their borders: and he delivered Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and there was peace between Israel and the Amorrhites.	14 E furono rendute tutte le città che i Filistei aveano tolte ai figliuoli d' Israel, da Accaron insino a Get e a' suoi confini; e liberò Israel dalle mani de' Filistei, ed era pace tra Israel e lo Amorreo.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life:	15 E Samuel giudicava Israel per tutti i dì della sua vita.
16 And he went every year about to Bethel and to Galgal and to Masphath, and he judged Israel in the aforesaid places.	16 E andava ogni anno cercando Betel e Galgala e Masfat; e in quelli luoghi giudicava Israel.
17 And he returned to Ramatha, for there was his house, and there he judged Israel: he built also there an altar to the Lord.	17 E ritornavasi in Ramata, però che ivi era la sua casa; e ivi giudicava Israel; e ivi edificò l'altare al Signore.
