2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was fiue and twentie yere old when he began to reigne, and he reigned nine and twentie yeere in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Iehoaddan, of Ierusalem.
Vigintiquinque annorum erat Amasias cum regnare cœpisset, et vigintinovem annis regnavit in Ierusalem, nomen matris eius Ioadan de Ierusalem.
2 And he did vprightly in the eyes of the Lord, but not with a perfite heart.
Fecitque bonum in conspectu Domini: verumtamen non in corde perfecto.
3 And when the kingdome was established vnto him, he slewe his seruants, that had slaine the King his father.
Cumque roboratum sibi videret imperium, iugulavit servos, qui occiderant regem patrem suum,
4 But he slewe not their children, but did as it is written in the Lawe, and in the booke of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not dye for the children, neyther shall the children die for the fathers, but euery man shall dye for his owne sinne.
sed filios eorum non interfecit sicut scriptum est in Libro legis Moysi, ubi præcepit Dominus, dicens: Non occidentur patres pro filiis, neque filii pro patribus suis, sed unusquisque in suo peccato morietur.
5 And Amaziah assembled Iudah, and made them captaines ouer thousandes, and captaines ouer hundreths, according to the houses of their fathers, thorowout all Iudah and Beniamin: and he nombred them from twentie yeere olde and aboue, and founde among them three hundreth thousand chosen men, to goe foorth to the warre, and to handle speare and shield.
Congregavit igitur Amasias Iudam, et constituit eos per familias, tribunosque et centuriones in universo Iuda, et Beniamin: et recensuit a viginti annis supra, invenitque trecenta millia iuvenum, qui egrederentur ad pugnam, et tenerent hastam et clypeum:
6 He hyred also an hundreth thousand valiant men out of Israel for an hundreth talents of siluer.
Mercede quoque conduxit de Israel centum millia robustorum, centum talentis argenti.
7 But a man of God came to him, saying, O King, let not the armie of Israel goe with thee: for the Lord is not with Israel, neither with all the house of Ephraim.
Venit autem homo Dei ad illum, et ait: O rex, ne egrediatur tecum exercitus Israel: non est enim Dominus cum Israel, et cunctis filiis Ephraim:
8 If not, goe thou on, doe it, make thy selfe strong to the battel, but God shall make thee fall before the enemie: for God hath power to helpe, and to cast downe.
quod si putas in robore exercitus bella consistere, superari te faciet Deus ab hostibus: Dei quippe est et adiuvare, et in fugam convertere.
9 And Amaziah sayde to the man of God, What shall we doe then for the hundreth talents, which I haue giuen to the hoste of Israel? Then the man of God answered, The Lord is able to giue thee more then this.
Dixitque Amasias ad hominem Dei: Quid ergo fiet de centum talentis, quæ dedi militibus Israel? Et respondit ei homo Dei: Habet Dominus unde tibi dare possit multo his plura.
10 So Amaziah separated them, to wit, the armie that was come to him out of Ephraim, to returne to their place: wherefore their wrath was kindled greatly against Iudah, and they returned to their places with great anger.
Separavit itaque Amasias exercitum, qui venerat ad eum ex Ephraim, ut reverteretur in locum suum: at illi contra Iudam vehementer irati, reversi sunt in regionem suam.
11 Then Amaziah was encouraged, and led forth his people, and went to the salt valley, and smote of the children of Seir, ten thousand.
Porro Amasias confidenter eduxit populum suum, et abiit in Vallem salinarum, percussitque filios Seir decem millia.
12 And other ten thousand did the children of Iudah take aliue, and caryed them to the top of a rocke, and cast them downe from the top of the rocke, and they all burst to pieces.
Et alia decem millia virorum ceperunt filii Iuda, et adduxerunt ad præruptum cuiusdam petræ, præcipitaveruntque eos de summo in præceps, qui universi crepuerunt.
13 But the men of the armie, which Amaziah sent away, that they should not goe with his people to battell, fell vpon the cities of Iudah from Samaria vnto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and tooke much spoyle.
At ille exercitus, quem remiserat Amasias ne secum iret ad prælium, diffusus est in civitatibus Iuda a Samaria usque ad Bethoron, et interfectis tribus millibus, diripuit prædam magnam.
14 Now after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them vp to be his gods, and worshipped them, and burned incense vnto them.
Amasias vero post cædem Idumæorum, et allatos deos filiorum Seir, statuit illos in deos sibi, et adorabat eos, et illis adolebat incensum.
15 Wherefore the Lord was wroth with Amaziah, and sent vnto him a Prophet, which sayd vnto him, Why hast thou sought the gods of the people, which were not able to deliuer their owne people out of thine hand?
Quam ob rem iratus Dominus contra Amasiam misit ad illum prophetam, qui diceret ei: Cur adorasti deos, qui non liberaverunt populum suum de manu tua?
16 And as he talked with him, he said vnto him, Haue they made thee the Kings counseler? cease thou: why should they smite thee? And the Prophet ceased, but said, I knowe that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not obeyed my counsell.
Cumque hæc ille loqueretur, respondit ei: Num consiliarius regis es? Quiesce ne interficiam te. Discedensque propheta, Scio, inquit, quod cogitaverit Deus occidere te, quia fecisti hoc malum, et insuper non acquievisti consilio meo.
17 Then Amaziah King of Iudah tooke counsell, and sent to Ioash the sonne of Iehoahaz, the sonne of Iehu King of Israel, saying, Come, let vs see one another in the face.
Igitur Amasias rex Iuda inito pessimo consilio, misit ad Ioas filium Ioachaz filii Iehu, regem Israel, dicens: Veni, videamus nos mutuo.
18 But Ioash King of Israel sent to Amaziah King of Iudah, saying, The thistle that is in Lebanon, sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Giue thy daughter to my sonne to wife: and the wilde beast that was in Lebanon went and trode downe the thistle.
At ille remisit nuncios, dicens: Carduus, qui est in Libano, misit ad cedrum Libani, dicens: Da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem: et ecce bestiæ, quæ erant in silva Libani, transierunt, et conculcaverunt carduum.
19 Thou thinkest: lo, thou hast smitten Edom, and thine heart lifteth thee vp to bragge: abide now at home: why doest thou prouoke to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, and Iudah with thee?
Dixisti: Percussi Edom, et idcirco erigitur cor tuum in superbiam: sede in domo tua, cur malum adversum te provocas, ut cadas et tu, et Iuda tecum?
20 But Amaziah would not heare: for it was of God, that he might deliuer them into his had, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
Noluit audire Amasias, eo quod Domini esset voluntas ut traderetur in manus hostium propter deos Edom.
21 So Ioash the King of Israel went vp: and he, and Amaziah King of Iudah saw one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which is in Iudah.
Ascendit igitur Ioas rex Israel, et mutuos sibi præbuere conspectus: Amasias autem rex Iuda erat in Bethsames Iuda:
22 And Iudah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled euery man to his tents.
corruitque Iuda coram Israel, et fugit in tabernacula sua.
23 But Ioash the King of Israel tooke Amaziah King of Iudah, the sonne of Ioash, the sonne of Iehoahaz in Bethshemesh, and brought him to Ierusalem, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem, from the gate of Ephraim vnto the corner gate, foure hundreth cubites.
Porro Amasiam regem Iuda, filium Ioas filii Ioachaz, cepit Ioas rex Israel in Bethsames, et adduxit in Ierusalem: destruxitque murum eius a porta Ephraim usque ad portam anguli quadringentis cubitis.
24 And he tooke all the gold and the siluer, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and in the treasures of the Kings house, and the children that were in hostage, and returned to Samaria.
Omne quoque aurum, et argentum, et universa vasa, quæ repererat in domo Dei, et apud Obededom in thesauris etiam domus regiæ, necnon et filios obsidum reduxit in Samariam.
25 And Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah liued after the death of Ioash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel, fifteene yeere.
Vixit autem Amasias filius Ioas rex Iuda, postquam mortuus est Ioas filius Ioachaz rex Israel, quindecim annis.
26 Concerning the rest of the actes of Amaziah first and last, are they not written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel?
Reliqua autem sermonum Amasiæ priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.
27 Nowe after the time that Amaziah did turne away from ye Lord, they wrought treason against him in Ierusalem: and when he was fled to Lachish, they sent to Lachish after him, and slewe him there.
Qui postquam recessit a Domino, tetenderunt ei insidias in Ierusalem. Cumque fugisset in Lachis, miserunt, et interfecerunt eum ibi.
28 And they brought him vpon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the citie of Iudah.
Reportantesque super equos, sepelierunt eum cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
