The Motif Searcher: one word across the Douay, the Latin, the Greek and the Hebrew.

1 Kings 22:15

Did I begin today to consult the Lord for him? far be this from me: let not the king suspect such a thing against his servant, or any one in all my father's house: for thy servant knew nothing of this matter, either little or great.

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
num hodie cœpi pro eo consulere Deum ? absit hoc a me : ne suspicetur rex adversus servum suum rem hujuscemodi, in universa domo patris mei : non enim scivit servus tuus quidquam super hoc negotio, vel modicum vel grande.
Septuagint (Swete)
ἢ σήμερον ἦργμαι ἐρωτᾷν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ; μηδαμῶς· μὴ δότω ὁ βασιλεὺς κατὰ τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ λόγον καὶ ἐφ᾽ ὅλον τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ ᾔδει ὁ δοῦλος ὁ σὸς ἐν πᾶσιν τούτοις ῥῆμα μικρὸν ἢ μέγα.
Hebrew (WLC)
הַיּ֧וֹם הַחִלֹּ֛תִי לשאול ל֥וֹ בֵאלֹהִ֖ים חָלִ֣ילָה לִּ֑י אַל יָשֵׂם֩ הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ בְּעַבְדּ֤וֹ דָבָר֙ בְּכָל בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔י כִּ֠י לֹֽא יָדַ֤ע עַבְדְּךָ֙ בְּכָל זֹ֔את דָּבָ֥ר קָטֹ֖ן א֥וֹ גָדֽוֹל

Haydock's commentary

For him? We might read without an interrogation, "I have to-day begun...." (Chaldean) never suspecting that it would be disagreeable to the king. (Calmet)

His character and his declarations, led me to conclude quite the contrary, so that I cannot lawfully be accused of any conspiracy. (Haydock)
