2 Chronicles 12
1 And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of Israel with him.
Cumque roboratum fuisset regnum Roboam et confortatum, dereliquit legem Domini, et omnis Israel cum eo.
2 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for they had sinned against the Lord)
Anno autem quinto regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Aegypti in Ierusalem (quia peccaverant Domino)
3 with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the 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 seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.
Cepitque civitates munitissimas in Iuda, et venit usque in Ierusalem.
5 Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand 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 And the leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”
Consternatique principes Israel et rex dixerunt: Iustus est Dominus.
7 And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon 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 Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”
Verumtamen servient ei, ut sciant distantiam servitutis meae, et servitutis regni terrarum.
9 And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that 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 In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.
pro quibus fecit rex aeneos, et tradidit illos principibus scutariorum, qui custodiebant vestibulum palatii.
11 And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.
Cumque introiret rex domum Domini, veniebant scutarii, et tollebant eos, iterumque referebant eos ad armamentarium suum.
12 Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found 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 Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
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 But he did evil, and he did not prepare his heart so as to seek the Lord.
Fecit autem malum, et non praeparavit cor suum ut quaereret Dominum.
15 Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during 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 slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.
Et dormivit Roboam cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in Civitate David. Et regnavit Abia filius eius pro eo.
