| 1 | And they told David, saying: Behold the Philistines fight against Ceila, and they rob the barns. | Et annuntiaverunt David, dicentes: Ecce Philisthiim oppugnant Ceilam et diripiunt areas. |
| 2 | Therefore David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said to David: Go, and thou shalt smite the Philistines, and shalt save Ceila. | Consuluit ergo David Dominum, dicens: Num vadam, et percutiam Philisthaeos istos? Et ait Dominus ad David: Vade, et percuties Philisthaeos, et Ceilam salvabis. |
| 3 | And the men that were with David, said to him: Behold we are in fear here in Judea, how much more if we go to Ceila against the hands of the Philistines? | Et dixerunt viri qui erant cum David ad eum: Ecce nos hic in Iudaea consistentes timemus: quanto magis si ierimus in Ceilam adversum agmina Philisthinorum? |
| 4 | Therefore David consulted the Lord again. And he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand. | Rursum ergo David consuluit Dominum. Qui respondens, ait ei: Surge, et vade in Ceilam: ego enim tradam Philisthaeos in manu tua. |
| 5 | David therefore, and his men, went to Ceila, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter of them: and David saved the inhabitants of Ceila. | Abiit ergo David et viri eius in Ceilam, et pugnavit adversum Philisthaeos: et abegit iumenta eorum, et percussit eos plaga magna: et salvavit David habitatores Ceilae. |
| 6 | Now at that time, when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David to Ceila, he came down having an ephod with him. | Porro eo tempore quo fugiebat Abiathar filius Achimelech ad David in Ceilam, ephod secum habens descenderat. |
| 7 | And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city, that hath gates and bars. | Nuntiatum est autem Sauli quod venisset David in Ceilam: et ait Saul: Tradidit eum Deus in manus meas, conclususque est introgressus urbem, in qua portae et serae sunt. |
| 8 | And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David, and his men. | Et praecepit Saul omni populo ut ad pugnam descenderet in Ceilam, et obsideret David et viros eius. |
| 9 | Now when David understood, that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest: Bring hither the ephod. | Quod cum David rescisset quia praepararet ei Saul clam malum, dixit ad Abiathar sacerdotem: Applica ephod. |
| 10 | And David said: O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath heard a report, that Saul designeth to come to Ceila, to destroy the city for my sake: | Et ait David: Domine Deus Israël, audivit famam servus tuus, quod disponat Saul venire in Ceilam, ut evertat urbem propter me: |
| 11 | Will the men of Ceila deliver me into his hands? and will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said: He will come down. | si tradent me viri Ceilae in manus eius? et si descendet Saul, sicut audivit servus tuus? Domine Deus Israël, indica servo tuo. Et ait Dominus: Descendet. |
| 12 | And David said: Will the men of Ceila deliver me, and my men, into the hands of Saul? And the Lord said: They will deliver thee up. | Dixitque David: Si tradent me viri Ceilae, et viros qui sunt mecum, in manus Saul? Et dixit Dominus: Tradent. |
| 13 | Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out. | Surrexit ergo David et viri eius quasi sexcenti, et egressi de Ceila, huc atque illuc vagabantur incerti: nuntiatumque est Sauli quod fugisset David de Ceila, et salvatus esset: quam ob rem dissimulavit exire. |
| 14 | But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands. | Morabatur autem David in deserto in locis firmissimis, mansitque in monte solitudinis Ziph, in monte opaco: quaerebat eum tamen Saul cunctis diebus, et non tradidit eum Deus in manus eius. |
| 15 | And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood. | Et vidit David quod egressus esset Saul ut quaereret animam eius. Porro David erat in deserto Ziph in silva. |
| 16 | And Jonathan the son of Saul arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him: | Et surrexit Ionathas filius Saul, et abiit ad David in silvam, et confortavit manus eius in Deo: dixitque ei: |
| 17 | Fear not: for the hand of my father Saul shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee, yea, and my father knoweth this. | Ne timeas: neque enim inveniet te manus Saul patris mei, et tu regnabis super Israël, et ego ero tibi secundus: sed et Saul pater meus scit hoc. |
| 18 | And the two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: but Jonathan returned to his house. | Percussit ergo uterque foedus coram Domino: mansitque David in silva, Ionathas autem reversus est in domum suam. |
| 19 | And the Ziphites went up to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Lo, doth not David lie hid with us in the strong holds of the wood, in mount Hachila, which is on the right hand of the desert. | Ascenderunt autem Ziphaei ad Saul in Gabaa, dicentes: Nonne ecce David latitat apud nos in locis tutissimis silvae, in colle Hachila, quae est ad dexteram deserti? |
| 20 | Now therefore come down, as thy soul hath desired to come down: and it shall be our business to deliver him into the king’s hands. | Nunc ergo, sicut desideravit anima tua ut descenderes, descende: nostrum autem erit ut tradamus eum in manus regis. |
| 21 | And Saul said: Blessed be ye of the Lord, for you have pitied my case. | Dixitque Saul: Benedicti vos a Domino, quia doluistis vicem meam. |
| 22 | Go therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him. | Abite ergo, oro, et diligentius praeparate, et curiosius agite, et considerate locum ubi sit pes eius, vel quis viderit eum ibi: recogitat enim de me, quod callide insidier ei. |
| 23 | Consider and see all his lurking holes, wherein he is bid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if be should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda. | Considerate, et videte omnia latibula eius in quibus absconditur: et revertimini ad me ad rem certam, ut vadam vobiscum. Quod si etiam in terram se abstruserit, perscrutabor eum in cunctis millibus Iuda. |
| 24 | And they arose and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of Jesimon. | At illi surgentes abierunt in Ziph ante Saul: David autem et viri eius erant in deserto Maon, in campestribus ad dexteram Iesimon. |
| 25 | Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. | Ivit ergo Saul et socii eius ad quaerendum eum. Et nuntiatum est David: statimque descendit ad petram, et versabatur in deserto Maon: quod cum audisset Saul, persecutus est David in deserto Maon. |
| 26 | And Saul went on this side of the mountain: and David and his men were on the other side of the mountain: and David despaired of being able to escape from the face of Saul: and Saul and his men encompassed David and his men round about to take them. | Et ibat Saul ad latus montis ex parte una: David autem et viri eius erant in latere montis ex parte altera. Porro David desperabat se posse evadere a facie Saul: itaque Saul et viri eius in modum coronae cingebant David et viros eius, ut caperent eos. |
| 27 | And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the Philistines have poured in themselves upon the land. | Et nuntius venit ad Saul, dicens: Festina, et veni, quoniam infuderunt se Philisthiim super terram. |
| 28 | Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place, the Rock of division. | Reversus est ergo Saul desistens persequi David, et perrexit in occursum Philisthinorum: propter hoc vocaverunt locum illum, Petram dividentem. |
