| 31 | Berzellai quoque Galaadites, descendens de Rogelim, traduxit regem Jordanem, paratus etiam ultra fluvium prosequi eum. |
Also Berzellai of Galaad, a ful eld man, cam doun fro Rogelym, and ledde the kyng ouer Jordan, redi also to sue hym ouer the flood. |
Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the river. | David shows kindness to Barzillai. 2Sm.19.31-39 |
| 32 | Erat autem Berzellai Galaadites senex valde, id est, octogenarius, et ipse præbuit alimenta regi cum moraretur in castris: fuit quippe vir dives nimis. |
Forsothe Berzellai of Galaad was ful eld, that is, of foure score yeer, and he yaf metis to the kyng, whanne the kyng dwellyde in castels; for Berzellai was a ful riche man. |
Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich. | |
| 33 | Dixit itaque rex ad Berzellai: Veni mecum, ut requiescas securus mecum in Jerusalem. |
Therfor the kyng seide to Berzellai, Come thou with me, that thou reste sikirli with me in Jerusalem. |
And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem. | |
| 34 | Et ait Berzellai ad regem: Quot sunt dies annorum vitæ meæ, ut ascendam cum rege in Jerusalem? |
And Berzellai seide to the kyng, Hou manye ben the daiest of yeeres of my lijf, that Y stie with the kyng in to Jerusalem? |
And Berzellai said to the king: How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? | |
| 35 | Octogenarius sum hodie : numquid vigent sensus mei ad discernendum suave, aut amarum ? aut delectare potest servum tuum cibus et potus ? vel audire possum ultra vocem cantorum, atque cantatricum ? quare servus tuus sit oneri domino meo regi ? |
Y am of foure score yeer to dai; whether my wittis ben quike to deme swete thing ethir bittir, ether mete and drynk may delite thi seruaunt, ether may Y here more the vois of syngeris ether of syngsters? Whi is thi seruaunt to charge to my lord the kyng? |
I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king? | |
| 36 | Paululum procedam famulus tuus ab Jordane tecum: non indigeo hac vicissitudine, |
Y thi seruaunt schal go forth a litil fro Jordan with thee, Y haue no nede to this yeldyng; |
I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense. | |
| 37 | sed obsecro ut revertar servus tuus, et moriar in civitate mea, et sepeliar juxta sepulchrum patris mei et matris meæ. Est autem servus tuus Chamaam, ipse vadat tecum, domine mi rex, et fac ei quidquid tibi bonum videtur. |
but Y biseche, that Y thi seruaunt turne ayen, and die in my citee, and be biried bisidis the sepulcre of my fadir and of my modir; forsothe Chamaam is thi seruaunt, my lord the kyng, go he with thee, and do thou to hym that that semeth good to thee. |
But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee. | |
| 38 | Dixit itaque ei rex: Mecum transeat Chamaam, et ego faciam ei quidquid tibi placuerit: et omne quod petieris a me, impetrabis. |
Therfor the kyng seide to hym, Chamaam passe with me; and Y schal do to hym what euer thing plesith thee, and thou schalt gete al thing, which thou axist of me. |
Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain. | |
| 39 | Cumque transisset universus populus et rex Jordanem, osculatus est rex Berzellai, et benedixit ei: et ille reversus est in locum suum. |
And whanne al the puple and the kyng hadden passid Jordan, the kyng abood; and the kyng kisside Berzellai, and blesside hym; and he turnede ayen in to his place. |
And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place. | |
