1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jizreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jizreel, by the side of the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Post verba autem hæc, tempore illo vinea erat Naboth Iezrahelitæ, quæ erat in Iezrahel, iuxta palatium Achab regis Samariæ.
2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, for it is near, by the side of my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; if it seem good to thee, I will give thee its value in money.
Locutus est ergo Achab ad Naboth, dicens: Da mihi vineam tuam, ut faciam mihi hortum olearum, 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 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 sullen and vexed because of the word that Naboth the Jizreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and ate 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 And Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit sullen, and thou eatest 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 Jizreelite and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard for it; and he said, I will not give thee my vineyard.
Qui respondit ei: Locutus sum Naboth Iezrahelitæ, 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, Dost thou now exercise sovereignty over Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be glad: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jizreelite.
Dixit ergo ad eum Iezabel uxor eius: Grandis auctoritatis es, et bene regis regnum Israel. Surge, et comede panem, et æquo animo esto, ego dabo tibi vineam Naboth Iezrahelitæ.
8 And she wrote a letter in Ahab's name, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling 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 letter saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people;
Litterarum autem hæc erat sententia: Prædicate ieiunium, et sedere facite Naboth inter primos populi,
10 and set two men, sons of Belial, before him, and they shall bear witness against him saying, Thou didst curse God and the king; and carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
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, the elders and the nobles that dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letter that she had sent to them:
Fecerunt ergo cives eius maiores natu et optimates, qui habitabant cum eo in urbe, sicut præceperat eis Iezabel, et sicut scriptum erat in litteris quas miserat ad eos:
12 they proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people.
prædicaverunt ieiunium, et sedere fecerunt Naboth inter primos populi.
13 And there came the two men, sons of Belial, and sat before him; and the men of Belial witnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. And they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
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 And 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 Jizreelite, 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 Iezrahelitæ, 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 Jizreelite, to take possession of it.
Quod cum audisset Achab, mortuum videlicet Naboth, surrexit, et descendebat in vineam Naboth Iezrahelitæ, 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 is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is 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 shalt speak unto him saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him saying, Thus saith Jehovah: In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus: Occidisti, insuper et possedisti. Et post hæc addes: Hæc dicit Dominus: In loco hoc, in quo linxerunt canes sanguinem Naboth, lambent quoque sanguinem tuum.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, mine enemy? And he said, I have found [thee]; because thou hast sold thyself to do 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 take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab every male, and him that is shut up and left 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 wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and 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 of Jezebel also spoke Jehovah saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the moat of Jizreel.
Sed et de Iezabel locutus est Dominus, dicens: Canes comedent Iezabel in agro Iezrahel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat.
Si mortuus fuerit Achab in civitate, comedent eum canes: si autem mortuus fuerit in agro, comedent eum volucres cæli.
25 (Surely there was none like to Ahab, who did sell himself to do evil in the sight of Jehovah, Jezebel his wife urging him on.
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 had dispossessed before the children of Israel.)
et abominabilis factus est, in tantum ut sequeretur idola, quæ fecerant Amorrhæi, quos consumpsit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
27 And it came to pass when Ahab heard these words, that he rent his garments, 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 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: 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.
