1 Kings 14
1 It was at that time that Abijah, Jeroboam's son, fell ill.
In tempore illo ægrotavit Abia filius Ieroboam.
2 So Jeroboam told his wife, “Please go and disguise yourself so nobody will know you're Jeroboam's wife. Then go to Shiloh and look for Ahijah the prophet. He was the one who told me I would become king over this people.
Dixitque Ieroboam uxori suæ: Surge, et commuta habitum, ne cognoscaris quod sis uxor Ieroboam: et vade in Silo, ubi est Ahias propheta, qui locutus est mihi, quod regnaturus essem super populum hunc.
3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey for him. He will explain to you what will happen to the boy.”
Tolle quoque in manu tua decem panes, et crustulam, et vas mellis, et vade ad illum: ipse enim indicabit tibi quid eventurum sit puero huic.
4 Jeroboam's wife did as she was told. She got up and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Ahijah could not see—he had become blind because of his age.
Fecit ut dixerat, uxor Ieroboam: et consurgens abiit in Silo, et venit in domum Ahiæ: at ille non poterat videre, quia caligaverant oculi eius præ senectute.
5 But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Look, Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he's ill. This is what you are to tell her, because she'll come in disguise.”
Dixit autem Dominus ad Ahiam: Ecce uxor Ieroboam ingreditur ut consulat te super filio suo qui ægrotat. hæc et hæc loqueris ei. Cum ergo illa intraret, et dissimularet se esse quæ erat,
6 So as soon as Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why do you bother coming in disguise? I have been given some bad news for you.
audivit Ahias sonitum pedum eius introeuntis per ostium, et ait: Ingredere uxor Ieroboam: quare aliam te esse simulas? ego autem missus sum ad te durus nuncius.
7 Go and tell Jeroboam this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I picked you from the masses and I made you ruler over my people Israel.
Vade, et dic Ieroboam: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Quia exaltavi te de medio populi, et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israel:
8 I took the kingdom from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and was totally committed to following me, only doing what was right in my sight.
et scidi regnum domus David, et dedi illud tibi, et non fuisti sicut servus meus David, qui custodivit mandata mea, et secutus est me in toto corde suo, faciens quod placitum esset in conspectu meo:
9 You have done more evil than all those who lived before you. You have gone and made other gods for yourself, idols made of molten metal that made me angry. You have tossed me aside.
sed operatus es mala super omnes, qui fuerunt ante te, et fecisti tibi deos alienos et conflatiles, ut me ad iracundiam provocares, me autem proiecisti post corpus tuum:
10 Now pay attention, because as a result of this I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will totally exterminate every one of your descendants in Israel, whether slave or free. I will burn the house of Jeroboam like a man burning refuse until it's all gone.
idcirco ecce ego inducam mala super domum Ieroboam, et percutiam de Ieroboam mingentem ad parietem, et clausum, et novissimum in Israel: et mundabo reliquias domus Ieroboam, sicut mundari solet fimus usque ad purum.
11 Those of Jeroboam's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds. For the Lord has spoken.
Qui mortui fuerint de Ieroboam in civitate, comedent eos canes: qui autem mortui fuerint in agro, vorabunt eos aves cæli: quia Dominus locutus est.
12 As for you, get up and go home. As soon as you arrive in the city, the child will die.
Tu igitur surge, et vade in domum tuam: et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem, morietur puer,
13 All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. He alone of Jeroboam's family will be buried in a tomb because only in him has the Lord, the God of Israel found anything good—of the whole family of Jeroboam.
et planget eum omnis Israel, et sepeliet: iste enim solus inferetur de Ieroboam in sepulchrum, quia inventus est super eo sermo bonus a Domino Deo Israel, in domo Ieroboam.
14 The Lord will choose for himself a king to rule over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam. This is starting to happen even now!
Constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israel, qui percutiet domum Ieroboam in hac die, et in hoc tempore:
15 The Lord will strike Israel like a reed jerked to and fro by the water. He will pull up Israel by the roots from this good land that he gave their forefathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their pagan Asherah poles, making the Lord angry.
et percutiet Dominus Deus Israel, sicut moveri solet arundo in aqua: et evellet Israel de terra bona hac, quam dedit patribus eorum, et ventilabit eos trans Flumen: quia fecerunt sibi lucos, ut irritarent Dominum.
16 He will abandon Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, those that he committed himself, and those he made Israel commit.”
Et tradet Dominus Israel propter peccata Ieroboam, qui peccavit, et peccare fecit Israel.
17 Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she stepped through the doorway of her home, the boy died.
Surrexit itaque uxor Ieroboam, et abiit, et venit in Thersa: cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus, puer mortuus est,
18 All of Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
et sepelierunt eum. Et planxit eum omnis Israel iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiæ prophetæ.
19 The rest of what Jeroboam did, how he engaged in warfare and how he reigned, they are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Reliqua autem verborum Ieroboam, quomodo pugnaverit, et quomodo regnaverit, ecce scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel.
20 Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and then he died. His son Nadab succeeded him as king.
Dies autem, quibus regnavit Ieroboam, viginti duo anni sunt: et dormivit cum patribus suis: regnavitque Nadab filius eius pro eo.
21 Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. He was forty-one when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel where he would be honored. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
Porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Iuda. Quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam, cum regnare cœpisset: decem et septem annos regnavit in Ierusalem civitate, quam elegit Dominus ut poneret nomen suum ibi, ex omnibus tribubus Israel. Nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanitis.
22 Judah did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because of the sins they committed they made his jealous anger even greater than all their fathers had done.
Et fecit Iudas malum coram Domino, et irritaverunt eum super omnibus, quæ fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis, quæ peccaverunt.
23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Ædificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi aras, et statuas, et lucos super omnem collem excelsum, et subter omnem arborem frondosam:
24 There were even cult prostitutes in the land. They followed all the disgusting practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
sed et effeminati fuerunt in terra, feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium, quas attrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israel.
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam's reign, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem.
In quinto autem anno regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Ægypti in Ierusalem,
26 He took the treasures of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.
et tulit thesauros domus Domini, et thesauros regios, et universa diripuit: scuta quoque aurea, quæ fecerat Salomon:
27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and handed them over to the captains of the guard to look after. They stood on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta ærea, et tradidit ea in manum ducum scutariorum, et eorum qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis.
28 Whenever the king went to the Lord's Temple, the guards would carry the shields. Afterwards they returned them to the guardroom.
Cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini, portabant ea qui præeundi habebant officium: et postea reportabant ad armamentarium scutariorum.
29 The rest of what happened in Rehoboam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Reliqua autem sermonum Roboam, et omnia quæ fecit, ecce scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda.
30 Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
Fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Ieroboam cunctis diebus.
31 Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.
Dormivitque Roboam cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David: nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanitis: et regnavit Abiam filius eius pro eo.
