2 Chronicles 12
1 Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Cumque roboratum fuisset regnum Roboam et confortatum, dereliquit legem Domini, et omnis Israel cum eo.
2 Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,
Anno autem quinto regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Aegypti in Ierusalem (quia peccaverant Domino)
3 With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.
cum mille ducentis curribus, et sexaginta millibus equitum: nec erat numerus vulgi quod venerat cum eo ex Aegypto, Libyes scilicet, et Troglodytae, et Aethiopes.
4 And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.
Cepitque civitates munitissimas in Iuda, et venit usque in Ierusalem.
5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.
Semeias autem propheta ingressus est ad Roboam, et principes Iuda, qui congregati fuerant in Ierusalem, fugientes Sesac, dixitque ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus: Vos reliquistis me, et ego reliqui vos in manu Sesac.
6 Then the chiefs of Israel and the king made themselves low and said, The Lord is upright.
Consternatique principes Israel et rex dixerunt: Iustus est Dominus.
7 And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Cumque vidisset Dominus, quod humiliati essent, factus est sermo Domini ad Semeiam, dicens: Quia humiliati sunt, non disperdam eos, daboque eis pauxillum auxilii, et non stillabit furor meus super Ierusalem per manum Sesac.
8 But still they will become his servants, so that they may see how different my yoke is from the yoke of the kingdoms of the lands.
Verumtamen servient ei, ut sciant distantiam servitutis meae, et servitutis regni terrarum.
9 So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.
Recessit itaque Sesac rex Aegypti ab Ierusalem, sublatis thesauris domus Domini, et domus regis, omniaque secum tulit, et clypeos aureos, quos fecerat Salomon,
10 And in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.
pro quibus fecit rex aeneos, et tradidit illos principibus scutariorum, qui custodiebant vestibulum palatii.
11 And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.
Cumque introiret rex domum Domini, veniebant scutarii, et tollebant eos, iterumque referebant eos ad armamentarium suum.
12 And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some good in Judah.
Verumtamen quia humiliati sunt, aversa est ab eis ira Domini, nec deleti sunt penitus: siquidem et in Iuda inventa sunt opera bona.
13 So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was ruling for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.
Confortatus est ergo rex Roboam in Ierusalem, atque regnavit: quadraginta autem et unius anni erat cum regnare coepisset, et decem et septem annis regnavit in Ierusalem, urbe, quam elegit Dominus, ut confirmaret nomen suum ibi, de cunctis tribubus Israel: nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanitis.
14 And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.
Fecit autem malum, et non praeparavit cor suum ut quaereret Dominum.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
Opera vero Roboam prima et novissima scripta sunt in Libris Semeiae prophetae, et Addo Videntis, et diligenter exposita: pugnaveruntque adversum se Roboam, et Ieroboam cunctis diebus.
16 And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.
Et dormivit Roboam cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in Civitate David. Et regnavit Abia filius eius pro eo.
