King James Version with Apocrypha
1ORA, come egli ebbe finito di parlare a Saulle, l'anima di Gionatan fu legata all'anima di esso, sì che Gionatan l'amò come l'anima sua.
1And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2Ed in quel giorno, Saulle lo prese appresso di sè , e non gli permise più di ritornare a casa di suo padre.
2And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
3E Gionatan fece lega con Davide; perciocchè egli l'amava come l'anima sua.
3Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4E Gionatan si spogliò l'ammanto ch'egli avea indosso, e lo diede a Davide, co' suoi vestimenti, fino alla sua spada, ed al suo arco, ed alla sua cintura.
4And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5E Davide usciva fuori; dovunque Saulle lo mandava, egli prosperava; laonde Saulle lo costituì sopra un certo numero di gente di guerra; ed egli fu grazioso a tutto il popolo, ed anche a' servitori di Saulle.
5¶ And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
6Or avvenne che, come essi venivano, ritornando Davide da pecuotere il Filisteo, le donne uscirono fuori di tutte le città d'Israele, cantando, e menando danze incontro al re Saulle con tamburi, con allegrezza, e con canti di trionfo.
6And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.
7E le donne che giocavano, cantavano a vicenda, e dicevano: Saulle ne ha percossi i suoi mille, E Davide i suoi diecimila.
7And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8Laonde Saulle si adirò gravemente, e questa cosa gli dispiacque, e disse: Esse ne hanno dati a Davide diecimila, e a me ne hanno sol dati mille; certo non gli manca altro che il reame.
8And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
9E da quel dì innanzi Saulle riguardava Davide di mal occhio.
9And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10Ora il giorno seguente avvenne che lo spirito malvagio mandato da Dio si avventò sopra Saulle, onde egli facea atti da uomo forsennato in mezzo la casa; e Davide sonava con le sue mani come per addietro, e Saulle avea una lancia in mano.
10¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul’s hand.
11E Saulle lanciò la lancia, e disse: Io conficcherò Davide nella parete. Ma Davide si stornò d'innanzi a lui due volte.
11And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it . And David avoided out of his presence twice.
12E Saulle temette per cagion di Davide; perciocchè il Signore era con lui, e si era partito da Saulle.
12¶ And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
13Laonde Saulle lo rimosse d'appresso a sè, e lo costituì capitano di mille uomini ; ed egli andava e veniva davanti al popolo.
13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14Or Davide prosperava in tutte le sue imprese, e il Signore era con lui.
14And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
15E Saulle, veggendo ch'egli prosperava grandemente, ebbe paura di lui.
15Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
16Ma tutto Israele e Giuda amava Davide; perciocchè egli andava e veniva davanti a loro.
16But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
17E SAULLE disse a Davide: Ecco Merab, mia figliuola maggiore; io te la darò per moglie; siimi pur valoroso, e conduci le guerre del Signore. (Or Saulle diceva: Non sia la mia mano sopra lui: ma sia la mano de' Filistei sopra lui).
17¶ And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
18E Davide disse a Saulle: Chi son io, e quale è la mia vita, e quale è la nazione di mio padre in Israele, che io sia genero del re?
18And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?
19Or avvenne che al tempo che Merab, figliuola di Saulle, si dovea dare a Davide, fu data per moglie ad Adriel Meholatita.
19But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
20Ma Mical, figliuola di Saulle, amava Davide; il che fu rapportato a Saulle, e la cosa gli piacque.
20And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21E Saulle disse: Io gliela darò, acciocchè gli sia per laccio, e che la mano de' Filistei sia sopra lui. Saulle adunque disse a Davide: Tu sarai oggi mio genero per amendue.
21And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain.
22E Saulle comandò a' suoi servitori di parlare in segreto a Davide, e dirgli: Ecco, il re ti gradisce, e tutti i suoi servitori ti amano; ora adunque sii genero del re.
22¶ And Saul commanded his servants, saying , Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king’s son in law.
23I servitori di Saulle adunque ridissero queste parole a Davide. Ma Davide disse: Parvi egli cosa leggiera d'esser genero del re, essendo io uomo povero e vile?
23And Saul’s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king’s son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
24Ed i servitori di Saulle gliel rapportarono, dicendo: Davide ha dette tali cose.
24And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.
25E Saulle disse: Dite così a Davide: Il re non vuol dote, ma cento prepuzii de' Filistei, acciocchè sia fatta vendetta de' suoi nemici. Or Saulle pensava di far cader Davide nelle mani de' Filistei.
25And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26I suoi servitori adunque rapportarono queste parole a Davide; e la cosa piacque a Davide, per esser genero del re. Ora, avanti che i giorni fossero compiuti,
26And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days were not expired.
27Davide si levò, ed andò con la sua gente, e percosse dugent'uomini de' Filistei e portò i lor prepuzii, onde il numero compiuto fu consegnato al re, acciocchè egli potesse esser genero del re. E Saulle gli diede Mical, sua figliuola, per moglie.
27Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
28E Saulle vide e conobbe che il Signore era con Davide; e Mical, figliuola di esso, l'amava.
28¶ And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.
29Laonde Saulle continuò di temere di Davide vie maggiormente; e fu sempre suo nemico.
29And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
30Or i capitani de' Filistei uscirono fuori in guerra ; e dacchè furono usciti, Davide prosperò più che tutti gli altri servitori di Saulle; onde il suo nome fu in grande stima.
30Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
