1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, near by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Post verba autem haec, tempore illo vinea erat Naboth Iezrahelitae, quae erat in Iezrahel, iuxta palatium Achab regis Samariae.
2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard that I may have it for a garden of herbs because it is near to my house. And I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it, or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
Locutus est ergo Achab ad Naboth, dicens: Da mihi vineam tuam, ut faciam mihi hortum olerum, quia vicina est, et prope domum meam, daboque tibi pro ea vineam meliorem: aut si commodius tibi putas, argenti pretium, quanto digna est.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it of me that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee.
Cui respondit Naboth: Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne dem hereditatem patrum meorum tibi.
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Venit ergo Achab in domum suam indignans, et frendens super verbo, quod locutus fuerat ad eum Naboth Iezrahelites, dicens: Non dabo tibi hereditatem patrum meorum. Et proiiciens se in lectulum suum, avertit faciem suam ad parietem, et non comedit panem.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad that thou eat no bread?
Ingressa est autem ad eum Iezabel uxor sua, dixitque ei: Quid est hoc, unde anima tua contristata est? et quare non comedis panem?
6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money, or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it. And he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
Qui respondit ei: Locutus sum Naboth Iezrahelitae, et dixi ei: Da mihi vineam tuam, accepta pecunia: aut, si tibi placet, dabo tibi vineam meliorem pro ea. Et ille ait: Non dabo tibi vineam meam.
7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry. I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Dixit ergo ad eum Iezabel uxor eius: Grandis auctoritatis es, et bene regis regnum Israel. Surge, et comede panem, et aequo animo esto, ego dabo tibi vineam Naboth Iezrahelitae.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt with Naboth.
Scripsit itaque litteras ex nomine Achab, et signavit eas annulo eius, et misit ad maiores natu, et optimates, qui erant in civitate eius, et habitabant cum Naboth.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
Litterarum autem haec erat sententia: Praedicate ieiunium, et sedere facite Naboth inter primos populi,
10 And set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou cursed God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.
et submittite duos viros filios Belial contra eum, et falsum testimonium dicant: Benedixit Deum et regem: et educite eum, et lapidate, sicque moriatur.
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
Fecerunt ergo cives eius maiores natu et optimates, qui habitabant cum eo in urbe, sicut praeceperat eis Iezabel, et sicut scriptum erat in litteris quas miserat ad eos:
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
praedicaverunt ieiunium, et sedere fecerunt Naboth inter primos populi.
13 And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. And the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth cursed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.
Et adductis duobus viris filiis diaboli, fecerunt eos sedere contra eum: at illi, scilicet ut viri diabolici, dixerunt contra eum testimonium coram multitudine: Benedixit Naboth Deum et regem: quam ob rem eduxerunt eum extra civitatem, et lapidibus interfecerunt.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
Miseruntque ad Iezabel, dicentes: Lapidatus est Naboth, et mortuus est.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
Factum est autem, cum audisset Iezabel lapidatum Naboth, et mortuum, locuta est ad Achab: Surge, et posside vineam Naboth Iezrahelitae, qui noluit tibi acquiescere, et dare eam accepta pecunia: non enim vivit Naboth, sed mortuus est.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.
Quod cum audisset Achab, mortuum videlicet Naboth, surrexit, et descendebat in vineam Naboth Iezrahelitae, ut possideret eam.
17 And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Factum est igitur sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens:
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down to take possession of it.
Surge, et descende in occursum Achab regis Israel, qui est in Samaria: ecce ad vineam Naboth descendit, ut possideat eam:
19 And thou shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Have thou killed and also taken possession? And thou shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Occidisti, insuper et possedisti. Et post haec addes: Haec dicit Dominus: In loco hoc, in quo linxerunt canes sanguinem Naboth, lambent quoque sanguinem tuum.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee because thou have sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Et ait Achab ad Eliam: Num invenisti me inimicum tibi? Qui dixit: Inveni, eo quod venundatus sis, ut faceres malum in conspectu Domini.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel.
Ecce ego inducam super te malum, et demetam posteriora tua, et interficiam de Achab mingentem ad parietem, et clausum et ultimum in Israel.
22 And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which thou have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.
Et dabo domum tuam sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat, et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia: quia egisti, ut me ad iracundiam provocares, et peccare fecisti Israel.
23 And Jehovah spoke also of Jezebel, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
Sed et de Iezabel locutus est Dominus, dicens: Canes comedent Iezabel in agro Iezrahel.
24 He who dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat, and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.
Si mortuus fuerit Achab in civitate, comedent eum canes: si autem mortuus fuerit in agro, comedent eum volucres caeli.
25 (But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
Igitur non fuit alter talis sicut Achab, qui venundatus est ut faceret malum in conspectu Domini: concitavit enim eum Iezabel uxor sua,
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did whom Jehovah cast out before the sons of Israel.)
et abominabilis factus est, in tantum ut sequeretur idola, quae fecerant Amorrhaei, quos consumpsit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
Itaque cum audisset Achab sermones istos, scidit vestimenta sua, et operuit cilicio carnem suam, ieiunavitque et dormivit in sacco, et ambulavit demisso capite.
28 And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens:
29 See thou how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
Nonne vidisti humiliatum Achab coram me? quia igitur humiliatus est mei causa, non inducam malum in diebus eius, sed in diebus filii sui inferam malum domui eius.
