Numeri 21

Studie

   

1 OR avendo il Cananeo, re di Arad, che abitava verso il Mezzodì, inteso che Israele se ne veniva per lo cammino delle spie, combattè contro a Israele, e ne menò alcuni prigioni.

2 Allora Israele votò un voto al Signore, e disse: Se pur tu mi dài questo popolo nelle mani, io distruggerò le lor città nella maniera dell’interdetto.

3 E il Signore esaudì la voce d’Israele, e gli diede nelle mani que’ Cananei; ed egli distrusse loro, e le lor città, nella maniera dell’interdetto; perciò pose nome a quel luogo Horma.

4 Poi gl’Israeliti si partirono dal monte di Hor, traendo verso il mar rosso, per circuire il paese di Edom; e l’animo venne meno al popolo per lo cammino.

5 E il popolo parlò contro a Dio, e contro a Mosè, dicendo: Perchè ci avete voi tratti fuor di Egitto, acciocchè muoiamo in questo deserto? conciossiachè non vi sia nè pane alcuno, nè acqua; e l’anima nostra è tutta svogliata di questo pane tanto leggiero.

6 Allora il Signore mandò contro al popolo de’ serpenti ardenti, i quali mordevano il popolo; onde molta gente d’Israele morì.

7 E il popolo venne a Mosè, e disse: Noi abbiamo peccato; conciossiachè abbiamo parlato contro al Signore, e contro a te; prega il Signore che rimova d’addosso a Noi i serpenti. E Mosè pregò per lo popolo.

8 E il Signore disse a Mosè: Fatti un serpente ardente, e mettilo sopra un’antenna; e avverrà che chiunque sarà morso, riguardando quello, scamperà.

9 E Mosè fece un serpente di rame, e lo mise sopra una antenna; e avveniva che, se un serpente avea morso alcuno, ed egli riguardava al serpente di rame, egli scampava.

10 POI i figliuoli d’Israele si mossero, e si accamparono in Obot.

11 E, partitisi di Obot, si accamparono a’ Poggi di Abarim, nel deserto ch’è dirimpetto al paese di Moab, dal sol levante.

12 Poi si mossero di là, e si accamparono nella valle di Zered.

13 Poi si partirono di là, e si accamparono lungo il fiume di Arnon, che è nel deserto; il quale si sporge innanzi dai confini degli Amorrei; perciocchè Arnon è il confine di Moab, fra Moab e gli Amorrei.

14 Perciò è detto nel Libro delle battaglie del Signore, Vaheb in Suf, e i fiumi di Arnon,

15 e il letto del fiume, che si volge là dove siede Ar, e tocca i confini di Moab.

16 E di là giunsero in Beer Quest’è il pozzo del quale il Signore disse a Mosè: Aduna il popolo, e io darò loro dell’acqua.

17 Allora Israele cantò questo cantico: Sali, o pozzo; cantategli:

18 Pozzo, che i principali hanno cavato; Che i nobili d’infra il popolo hanno tagliato nel sasso, Col Legislatore, avendo in mano i lor bastoni. Poi, dal deserto giunsero in Mattana.

19 E da Mattana in Nahaliel, e da Nahaliel in Bamot.

20 E da Bamot nella valle che è nel territorio di Moab, in capo di Pisga, e riguarda verso il deserto.

21 Allora Israele mandò ambasciatori a Sihon, re degli Amorrei, a dirgli:

22 Lascia ch’io passi per lo tuo paese; noi non ci rivolgeremo nè in campi, nè in vigne, e non berremo alcun’acqua di pozzo; noi cammineremo per la strada reale, finchè siamo passati i tuoi confini.

23 Ma Sihon non concedette a Israele di passar per li suoi confini; anzi adunò tutta la sua gente, e uscì fuori incontro a Israele, nel deserto; e venne in Iaas, e combattè con Israele.

24 E Israele lo sconfisse, e lo mise a fil di spada, e conquistò il suo paese, ch’era da Arnon fino a Iabboc, fino al paese de’ figliuoli di Ammon; perciocchè la frontiera de’ figliuoli di Ammon era forte.

25 E Israele prese tutte le città ch’erano in quel paese, e abitò in tutte le città degli Amorrei, cioè in Hesbon, e in tutte le terre del suo territorio.

26 Perciocchè Hesbon era la città di Sihon, re degli Amorrei, il quale era stato il primo che avea guerreggiato contro al re di Moab, e gli avea tolto tutto il suo paese, fino all’Arnon.

27 Perciò dicono i poeti: Venite in Hesbon; Sia riedificata e ristorata la città di Sihon.

28 Perciocchè un fuoco uscì già di Hesbon, E una fiamma della città di Sihon, E consumò Ar di Moab, Gli abitanti di Bamot-Arnon.

29 Guai a te, Moab! O popolo di Chemos, tu sei perito; Esso ha dati i suoi figliuoli ch’erano scampati, E le sue figliuole, in cattività A Sihon, re degli Amorrei.

30 Ma noi li abbiamo sconfitti. Hesbon è perito fino a Dibon; E noi li abbiamo distrutti fino a Nofa, Che arriva fino a Medeba.

31 E Israele abitò nel paese degli Amorrei.

32 Poi Mosè mandò a spiare Iazer: e gli Israeliti presero le terre del suo territorio; e ne cacciarono gli Amorrei che vi erano.

33 Poi, voltatisi, salirono per lo cammino di Basan; e Og, re di Basan, uscì incontro a loro, con tutta la sua gente, in battaglia, in Edrei.

34 E il Signore disse a Mosè: Non temerlo; perciocchè io ti ho dato nelle mani lui, e tutta la sua gente, e il suo paese; e fagli come tu hai fatto a Sihon, re degli Amorrei, che abitava in Hesbon.

35 Gl’Israeliti adunque percossero lui, e i suoi figliuoli, e tutto il suo popolo; talchè non ne lasciarono alcuno in vita; e conquistarono il suo paese.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Joshua 8

Studie

   

1 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land.

2 You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king, except its spoil and its livestock, you shall take for a plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it."

3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night.

4 He commanded them, saying, "Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Don't go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

5 I, and all the people who are with me, will approach to the city. It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.

6 They will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, 'They flee before us, like the first time.' So we will flee before them,

7 and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.

8 It shall be, when you have seized on the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do this according to the word of Yahweh. Behold, I have commanded you."

9 Joshua sent them out; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua stayed among the people that night.

10 Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

11 All the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.

12 He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

13 So they set the people, even all the army who was on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

14 It happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he didn't know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

15 Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

16 All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue after them. They pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

17 There was not a man left in Ai or Beth El who didn't go out after Israel. They left the city open, and pursued Israel.

18 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

19 The ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it. They hurried and set the city on fire.

20 When the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way. The people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.

21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and killed the men of Ai.

22 The others came out of the city against them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side. They struck them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

23 They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.

24 It happened, when Israel had made an end of killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.

25 All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

26 For Joshua didn't draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey to themselves, according to the word of Yahweh which he commanded Joshua.

28 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.

29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening, and at the sundown Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.

30 Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,

31 as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, on which no man had lifted up any iron. They offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, and sacrificed peace offerings.

32 He wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.

33 All Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who carried the ark of Yahweh's covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

34 Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua didn't read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.
