' Pater meus ' inquit ' Hamilcar puerulo me , utpote non amplius VIIII annos nato , in Hispaniam imperator proficiscens Carthagine , Iovi optimo maximo hostias immolavit . Quae divina res dum conficiebatur , quaesivit a me , vellemne secum in castra proficisci . Id cum libenter accepissem atque ab eo petere coepissem , ne dubitaret ducere , tum ille ' Faciam ' , inquit ' si mihi fidem , quam postulo , dederis . ' Simul me ad aram adduxit , apud quam sacrificare instituerat , eamque ceteris remotis tenentem iurare iussit numquam me in amicitia cum Romanis fore . Id ego ius iurandum patri datum usque ad hanc aetatem conservavi .
My father said , " Hamilcar my boy , as much as by any means it was a big 9 years since the general leader of Carthage kicked the opposition out from Spain and jupiter the biggest and the immortal sacrificed who is divine as long as another obtains me , conquers , and kills me with his army . When he took hold of his freedom as well as suffering to set his foot on , he doubted and started to think then that strength one says if only I would have faith in the gods . At the same time leading up to about the time of the sacrifice that was instructed , the other was never holding order and the friendships were non existent with Romans . If I swear to the law of my father which he gave then I would ' ve forgot the conversation .
