1 Samuel 9: Douay-Rheims, Vulgata Clementina and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsVulgata ClementinaSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1Now I there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Cis, the son of Abiel, the son of Seror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphia, the son of a man of Jemini, valiant and strong.Et erat vir de Beniamin nomine Cis, filius Abiel, filii Seror, filii Bechorath, filii Aphia, filii viri Iemini, fortis robore.Καὶ ἀνὴρ ἐξ υἱῶν Βενιαμίν, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Κίς, υἱὸς ʼΑβιὴλ, υἱοῦ Ἰαρὲδ, υἱοῦ Βαχὶρ, υἱοῦ ʼΑφὲκ, υἱοῦ ἀνδρὸς Ἰεμιναίου, ἀνὴρ δυνατός.
2And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people.Et erat ei filius vocabulo Saul, electus et bonus: et non erat vir de filiis Israël melior illo: ab humero et sursum eminebat super omnem populum.Καὶ τούτῳ υἱός, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σαούλ, εὐμεγέθης, ἀνὴρ ἀγαθός, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ ἀγαθὸς ὑπὲρ αὐτόν, ὑπερωμίαν καὶ ἐπάνω ὑψηλὸς ὑπὲρ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
3And the asses of Cis, Sauls father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through mount Ephraim,Perierant autem asinae Cis patris Saul: et dixit Cis ad Saul filium suum: Tolle tecum unum de pueris, et consurgens vade, et quaere asinas. Qui cum transissent per montem EphraimΚαὶ ἀπώλοντο αἱ ὄνοι Κὶς πατρὸς Σαούλ· καὶ εἶπε Κὶς πρὸς Σαοὺλ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, λάβε μετὰ σεαυτοῦ ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων, καὶ ἀνάστητε καὶ πορεύθητε καὶ ζητήσατε τὰς ὄνους.
4And through the land of Salisa, and had not found them, they passed also through the land of Salim, and they were not there: and through the land of Jemini, and found them not.et per terram Salisa, et non invenissent, transierunt etiam per terram Salim, et non erant: sed et per terram Iemini, et minime repererunt.Καὶ διῆλθον διʼ ὄρους Ἐφράιμ, καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς Σελχὰ, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον· καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς Σεγαλὶμ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν· καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς Ἰαμὶν, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον.
5And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us.Cum autem venissent in terram Suph, dixit Saul ad puerum qui erat cum eo: Veni et revertamur, ne forte dimiserit pater meus asinas, et sollicitus sit pro nobis.Αὐτῶν δὲ ἐλθόντων εἰς τὴν Σὶφ, καὶ Σαοὺλ εἶπε τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, δεῦρο καὶ ἀποστρέψωμεν, μὴ ἀνεὶς ὁ πατήρ μου τὰς ὄνους, φροντίζῃ τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν.
6And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now therefore let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come.Qui ait ei: Ecce vir Dei est in civitate hac, vir nobilis: omne quod loquitur, sine ambiguitate venit. Nunc ergo eamus illuc, si forte indicet nobis de via nostra, propter quam venimus.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τὸ παιδάριον, ἰδοὺ δὴ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἔνδοξος, πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ παραγινόμενον παρέσται· καὶ νῦν πορευθῶμεν, ὅπως ἀπαγγείλῃ ἡμῖν τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν ἐφʼ ἣν ἐπορευθημεν ἐπʼ αὐτήν.
7And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all.Dixitque Saul ad puerum suum: Ecce ibimus: quid feremus ad virum Dei? panis defecit in sitarciis nostris, et sportulam non habemus ut demus homini Dei, nec quidquam aliud.Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ πορευσόμεθα· καὶ τί οἴσομεν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ; ὅτι οἱ ἄρτοι ἐκλελοίπασιν ἐκ τῶν ἀγγείων ἡμῶν, καὶ πλεῖον οὐκ ἔστι μεθʼ ἡμῶν εἰσενεγκεῖν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸ ὑπάρχον ἡμῖν.
8The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way.Rursum puer respondit Sauli, et ait: Ecce inventa est in manu mea quarta pars stateris argenti: demus homini Dei, ut indicet nobis viam nostram.Καὶ προσέθετο τὸ παιδάριον ἀποκριθῆναι τῷ Σαοὺλ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ εὕρηται ἐν τῇ χειρί μου τέταρτον σίκλου ἀργυρίου, καὶ δώσεις τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖ ἡμῖν τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν.
9Now in time past, in Israel when a man went to consult God he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer.(Olim in Israël sic loquebatur unusquisque vadens consulere Deum: Venite, et eamus ad videntem. Qui enim propheta dicitur hodie, vocabatur olim videns.)Καὶ ἔμπροσθεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ τάδε ἔλεγεν ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι ἐπερωτᾷν τὸν Θεὸν, δεῦρο καὶ πορευθῶμεν πρὸς τὸν βλέποντα· ὅτι τὸν προφήτην ἐκάλει ὁ λαὸς ἔμπροσθεν, ὁ βλέπων.
10And Saul said to his servant: Thy word is very good, come, let us go. And they went into the city, where the man of God was.Et dixit Saul ad puerum suum: Optimus sermo tuus. Veni, eamus. Et ierunt in civitatem in qua erat vir Dei.Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ, ἀγαθὸν τὸ ῥῆμα, δεῦρο καὶ πορευθῶμεν· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν οὗ ἦν ἐκεῖ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
11And when they went up the ascent to the city, they found maids coming out to draw water, and they said to them: Is the seer here?Cumque ascenderent clivum civitatis, invenerunt puellas egredientes ad hauriendam aquam, et dixerunt eis: Num hic est videns?Αὐτῶν ἀναβαινόντων τὴν ἀνάβασιν τῆς πόλεως, καὶ αὐτοὶ εὑρίσκουσι τὰ κοράσια ἐξεληλυθότα ὑδρεύεσθαι ὕδωρ, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐταῖς, εἰ ἔστιν ἐνταῦθα ὁ βλέπων;
12They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came today into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people today in the high place.Quae respondentes, dixerunt illis: Hic est: ecce ante te, festina nunc: hodie enim venit in civitatem, quia sacrificium est hodie populi in excelso.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὰ κοράσια αὐτοῖς, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτοῖς, ἔστιν· ἰδοὺ κατὰ πρόσωπον ὑμῶν· νῦν διὰ τὴν ἡμέραν ἥκει εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ὅτι θυσία σήμερον τῷ λαῷ ἐν Βαμᾷ.
13As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come: because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now therefore go up, for today you shall find him.Ingredientes urbem, statim invenietis eum antequam ascendat excelsum ad vescendum, neque enim comesurus est populus donec ille veniat: quia ipse benedicit hostiae, et deinceps comedunt qui vocati sunt. Nunc ergo conscendite, quia hodie reperietis eum.Ὡς ἂν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν πόλιν, οὕτως εὑρήσετε αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ πόλει, πρὶν ἀναβῆναι αὐτὸν εἰς Βαμᾶ τοῦ φαγεῖν· ὅτι οὐ μὴ φάγῃ ὁ λαὸς ἕως τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὗτος εὐλογεῖ τὴν θυσίαν, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐσθίουσιν οἱ ξένοι· καὶ νῦν ἀνάβητε, ὅτι διὰ τὴν ἡμέραν εὑρήσετε αὐτόν.
14And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place.Et ascenderunt in civitatem. Cumque illi ambularent in medio urbis, apparuit Samuel egrediens obviam eis, ut ascenderet in excelsum.Καὶ ἀναβαίνουσι τὴν πόλιν· αὐτῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς μέσον τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἰδοὺ Σαμουὴλ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὴν ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν, τοῦ ἀναβῆναι εἰς Βαμᾶ.
15Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying:Dominus autem revelaverat auriculam Samuelis ante unam diem quam veniret Saul, dicens:Καὶ Κύριος ἀπεκάλυψε τὸ ὠτίον Σαμουὴλ ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν Σαοὺλ, λέγων,
16Tomorrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me.Hac ipsa hora quae nunc est, cras mittam virum ad te de terra Beniaminm, et unges eum ducem super populum meum Israël: et salvabit populum meum de manu Philisthinorum, quia respexi populum meum: venit enim clamor eorum ad me.ὡς ὁ καιρὸς, αὔριον ἀποστελῶ πρὸς σὲ ἄνδρα ἐκ γῆς Βενιαμίν, καὶ χρίσεις αὐτὸν εἰς ἄρχοντα ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ σώσει τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων, ὅτι ἐπέβλεψα ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τοῦ λαοῦ μου, ὅτι ἦλθε βοὴ αὐτῶν πρὸς μέ.
17And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people.Cumque aspexisset Samuel Saulem, Dominus dixit ei: Ecce vir quem dixeram tibi: iste dominabitur populo meo.Καὶ Σαμουὴλ εἶδε τὸν Σαούλ, καὶ Κύριος ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃν εἶπά σοι, οὗτος ἄρξει ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου.
18And Saul came to Samuel in the midst of the gate and said: Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer?Accessit autem Saul ad Samuelem in medio portae, et ait: Indica, oro, mihi, ubi est domus videntis.Καὶ προσήγαγε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Σαμουὴλ εἰς μέσον τῆς πόλεως, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀπάγγειλον δὴ ποῖος ὁ οἶκος τοῦ βλέποντος.
19And Samuel answered Saul, saying: I am the seer, go up before me to the high place, that you may eat with me today, and I will let thee go in the morning: and tell thee all that is in thy heart.Et respondit Samuel Sauli, dicens: Ego sum videns: ascende ante me in excelsum, ut comedatis mecum hodie, et dimittam te mane: et omnia quae sunt in corde tuo indicabo tibi.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Σαμουὴλ τῷ Σαοὺλ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐγώ εἰμι αὐτός· ἀνάβηθι ἔμπροσθέν μου εἰς Βαμὰ, καὶ φάγε μετʼ ἐμοῦ σήμερον, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ σε πρωῒ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἀπαγγελῶ σοι.
20And as for the asses, which were lost three days ago, be not solicitous, because they are found. And for whom shall be all the best things of Israel? Shall they not be for thee and for all thy father’s house?Et de asinis quas nudiustertius perdidisti, ne sollicitus sis, quia inventae sunt. Et cuius erunt optima quaeque Israël? nonne tibi et omni domui patris tui?Καὶ περὶ τῶν ὄνων σου τῶν ἀπολωλυιῶν σήμερον τριταίων, μὴ θῇς τὴν καρδίαν σου αὐταῖς, ὅτι εὕρηνται· καὶ τίνι τὰ ὡραῖα τοῦ Ἰσραήλ; οὐ σοὶ, καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός σου;
21And Saul answering, said: Am not I a son of Jemini of the least tribe of Israel, and my kindred the last among all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then hast thou spoken this word to me?Respondens autem Saul, ait: Numquid non filius Iemini ego sum de minima tribu Israël, et cognatio mea novissima inter omnes familias de tribu Beniamin? quare ergo locutus est mihi sermonem istum?Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Σαοὺλ, καὶ εἶπεν, οὐχὶ ἀνδρὸς υἱὸς Ἰεμιναίου ἐγώ εἰμι τοῦ μικροῦ σκήπτρου φυλῆς Ἰσραήλ; καὶ τῆς φυλῆς τῆς ἐλαχίστης ἐξ ὅλου σκήπτρου Βενιαμίν; καὶ ἱνατί ἐλάλησας πρὸς ἐμὲ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο;
22Then Samuel taking Saul and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men.Assumens itaque Samuel Saulem et puerum eius, introduxit eos in triclinium, et dedit eis locum in capite eorum qui fuerant invitati: erant enim quasi triginta viri.Καὶ ἔλαβε Σαμουὴλ τὸν Σαοὺλ καὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ κατάλυμα, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖ τόπον ἐν πρώτοις τῶν κεκλημένων ὡσεὶ ἑβδομήκοντα ἀνδρῶν.
23And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion, which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee.Dixitque Samuel coco: Da partem quam dedi tibi, et praecepi ut reponeres seorsum apud te.Καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ τῷ μαγείρῳ, δός μοι τὴν μερίδα ἣν ἔδωκά σοι, ἣν εἶπά σοι θεῖναι αὐτὴν παρὰ σοί.
24And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat: because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day.Levavit autem cocus armum, et posuit ante Saul. Dixitque Samuel: Ecce quod remansit: pone ante te, et comede, quia de industria servatum est tibi quando populum vocavi. Et comedit Saul cum Samuele in die illa.Καὶ ἥψησεν ὁ μάγειρος τὴν κωλέαν, καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτὴν ἐνώπιον Σαούλ· καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ τῷ Σαούλ, ἰδοὺ ὑπόλειμμα, παράθες αὐτὸ ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ φάγε, ὅτι εἰς μαρτύριον τέθειταί σοι παρὰ τοὺς ἄλλους, ἀπόκνιζε· καὶ ἔφαγεν Σαοὺλ μετὰ Σαμουὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
25And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on the top of the house, and he slept.Et descenderunt de excelso in oppidum, et locutus est cum Saule in solario: stravitque Saul in solario, et dormivit.Καὶ κατέβη ἐκ τῆς Βαμᾶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν· καὶ διέστρωσαν τῷ Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ τῷ δώματι, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη.
26And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them, to wit, he and Samuel.Cumque mane surrexissent, et iam elucesceret, vocavit Samuel Saulem in solario, dicens: Surge, et dimittam te. Et surrexit Saul: egressique sunt ambo, ipse videlicet, et Samuel.Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀνέβαινεν ὁ ὄρθρος, καὶ ἐκάλεσε Σαμουὴλ τὸν Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ τῷ δώματι, λέγων, ἀνάστα, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ σε· καὶ ἀνέστη Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν αὐτὸς καὶ Σαμουὴλ ἕως ἔξω.
27And as they were going down in the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul: Speak to the servant to go before us, and pass on: but stand thou still a while, that I may tell thee the word of the Lord.Cumque descenderent in extrema parte civitatis, Samuel dixit ad Saul: Dic puero ut antecedat nos et transeat: tu autem subsiste paulisper, ut indicem tibi verbum Domini.Αὐτῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς μέρος τῆς πόλεως, καὶ Σαμουὴλ εἶπε τῷ Σαοὺλ, εἶπον τῷ νεανίσκῳ, καὶ διελθέτω ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῶν· καὶ σὺ στῆθι ὡς σήμερον, καὶ ἄκουσον ῥῆμα Θεοῦ.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
