Kings IV 14
1 In the second year of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, did Amessias also the son of Joas the king of Juda begin to reign.
In anno secundo Ioas filii Ioachaz regis Israel regnavit Amasias filius Ioas regis Iuda.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Joadim of Jerusalem.
Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset: viginti autem et novem annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Ioadan de Ierusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not as David his father: he did according to all things that his father Joas did.
Et fecit rectum coram Domino, verumtamen non ut David pater eius. Iuxta omnia, quæ fecit Ioas pater suus, fecit:
4 Only he removed not the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
nisi hoc tantum quod excelsa non abstulit: adhuc enim populus immolabat, et adolebat incensum in excelsis.
5 And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants that had slain the king his father.
Cumque obtinuisset regnum, percussit servos suos, qui interfecerant regem patrem suum:
6 But he killed not the sons of those that had slain him; according as it is written in the book of the laws of Moses, as the Lord gave commandment, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the children shall not be put to death for the fathers; but every one shall die for his own sins.
filios autem eorum, qui occiderant, non occidit, iuxta quod scriptum est in libro legis Moysi, sicut præcepit Dominus, dicens: Non morientur patres pro filiis, neque filii morientur pro patribus: sed unusquisque in peccato suo morietur.
7 He struck of Edom ten thousand in the valley of salt, and took the Rock in the war, and called its name Jethoel until this day.
Ipse percussit Edom in Valle Salinarum decem millia, et apprehendit Petram in prælio, vocavitque nomen eius Iectehel usque in præsentem diem.
8 Then Amessias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz son of Ju king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
Tunc misit Amasias nuncios ad Ioas filium Ioachaz, filii Iehu regis Israel, dicens: Veni, et videamus nos.
9 And Joas the king of Israel sent to Amessias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give my daughter to your son to wife: and the wild beasts of the field that were in Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle.
Remisitque Ioas rex Israel ad Amasiam regem Iuda, dicens: Carduus Libani misit ad cedrum, quæ est in Libano, dicens: Da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem. Transieruntque bestiæ saltus, quæ sunt in Libano, et conculcaverunt carduum.
10 You have struck and wounded Edom, and your heart has lifted you up: stay at home and glorify yourself; for therefore are you quarrelsome to your hurt? So [both] you will fall and Juda with you.
Percutiens invaluisti super Edom, et sublevavit te cor tuum: contentus esto gloria, et sede in domo tua: quare provocas malum, ut cadas tu et Iudas tecum?
11 Nevertheless Amessias listened not: so Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amessias king of Juda looked one another in the face in Baethsamys of Juda.
Et non acquievit Amasias: Ascenditque Ioas rex Israel, et viderunt se, ipse et Amasias rex Iuda in Bethsames oppido Iudæ.
12 And Juda was overthrown before Israel, and [every] man fled to his tent.
Percussusque est Iuda coram Israel, et fugerunt unusquisque in tabernacula sua.
13 And Joas king of Israel took Amessias the son of Joas the son of Ochozias, in Baethsamys; and he came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, [beginning] at the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
Amasiam vero regem Iuda filium Ioas filii Ochoziæ cepit Ioas rex Israel in Bethsames, et adduxit eum in Ierusalem: et interrupit murum Ierusalem, a porta Ephraim usque ad portam anguli, quadringentis cubitis.
14 And he took the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
Tulitque omne aurum, et argentum, et universa vasa, quæ inventa sunt in domo Domini, et in thesauris regis, et obsides, et reversus est in Samariam.
15 And the rest of the acts of Joas, [even] all that he did in his might, how he warred with Amessias king of Juda, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Reliqua autem verborum Ioas quæ fecit, et fortitudo eius qua pugnavit contra Amasiam regem Iuda, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?
16 And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivitque Ioas cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israel: et regnavit Ieroboam filius eius pro eo.
17 And Amessias the son of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Vixit autem Amasias, filius Ioas, rex Iuda, postquam mortuus est Ioas filius Ioachaz regis Israel quindecim annis.
18 And the rest of the acts of Amessias, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Reliqua autem sermonum Amasiæ, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?
19 And they formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.
Factaque est contra eum coniuratio in Ierusalem: at ille fugit in Lachis. Miseruntque post eum in Lachis, et interfecerunt eum ibi.
20 And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
Et asportaverunt in equis, sepultusque est in Ierusalem cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
21 And all the people of Juda took Azarias, and he was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amessias.
Tulit autem universus populus Iudæ Azariam annos natum sedecim, et constituerunt eum regem pro patre eius Amasia.
22 He built Aeloth, and restored it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
Ipse ædificavit Ælath, et restituit eam Iudæ, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amessias son of Joas king of Juda began Jeroboam son of Joas to reign over Israel in Samaria forty and one years.
Anno quintodecimo Amasiæ filii Ioas regis Iuda, regnavit Ieroboam filius Ioas regis Israel in Samaria, quadraginta et uno anno:
24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.
et fecit quod malum est coram Domino. Non recessit ab omnibus peccatis Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel.
25 He recovered the coast of Israel from the entering in of Aemath to the sea of Araba, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet of Gethchopher.
Ipse restituit terminos Israel ab introitu Emath, usque ad Mare Solitudinis, iuxta sermonem Domini Dei Israel, quem locutus est per servum suum Ionam filium Amathi prophetam, qui erat de Geth, quæ est in Opher.
26 For the Lord saw [that] the affliction of Israel [was] very bitter, and that they were few in number, straitened and in lack, and destitute, and Israel had no helper.
Vidit enim Dominus afflictionem Israel amaram nimis, et quod consumpti essent usque ad clausos carcere, et extremos, et non esset qui auxiliaretur Israeli.
27 And the Lord said that he would not blot out the seed of Israel from under heaven; so he delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joas.
Nec locutus est Dominus ut deleret nomen Israel de sub cælo, sed salvavit eos in manu Ieroboam filii Ioas.
28 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, which he achieved in war, and how he recovered Damascus and Aemath to Juda in Israel, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Reliqua autem sermonum Ieroboam, et universa quæ fecit, et fortitudo eius, qua præliatus est, et quomodo restituit Damascum, et Emath Iudæ in Israel, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zacharias his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivitque Ieroboam cum patribus suis regibus Israel, et regnavit Zacharias filius eius pro eo.
