1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Post verba autem haec, tempore illo vinea erat Naboth Iezrahelitae, quae erat in Iezrahel, iuxta palatium Achab regis Samariae.
2 And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to you, I will give you the worth of it in money.
Locutus est ergo Achab ad Naboth, dicens: Da mihi vineam tuam, ut faciam mihi hortum olerum, 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, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto you.
Cui respondit Naboth: Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne dem hereditatem patrum meorum tibi.
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat 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 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat 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 unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.
Qui respondit ei: Locutus sum Naboth Iezrahelitae, 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 unto him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Dixit ergo ad eum Iezabel uxor eius: Grandis auctoritatis es, et bene regis regnum Israel. Surge, et comede panem, et aequo animo esto, ego dabo tibi vineam Naboth Iezrahelitae.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto 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 letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
Litterarum autem haec erat sententia: Praedicate ieiunium, et sedere facite Naboth inter primos populi,
10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, You did blaspheme God and the king. And then 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, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
Fecerunt ergo cives eius maiores natu et optimates, qui habitabant cum eo in urbe, sicut praeceperat eis Iezabel, et sicut scriptum erat in litteris quas miserat ad eos:
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
praedicaverunt ieiunium, et sedere fecerunt Naboth inter primos populi.
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then 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 Then 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 Jezreelite, which he refused to give you 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 Iezrahelitae, 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 Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Quod cum audisset Achab, mortuum videlicet Naboth, surrexit, et descendebat in vineam Naboth Iezrahelitae, ut possideret eam.
17 And the word of the LORD 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, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess it.
Surge, et descende in occursum Achab regis Israel, qui est in Samaria: ecce ad vineam Naboth descendit, ut possideat eam:
19 And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus says the LORD, Have you killed, and also taken possession? And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus says the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.
et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Occidisti, insuper et possedisti. Et post haec addes: Haec dicit Dominus: In loco hoc, in quo linxerunt canes sanguinem Naboth, lambent quoque sanguinem tuum.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found you: because you have sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
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 you, and will take away your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisses against the wall, 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 will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith you have 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 the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
Sed et de Iezabel locutus est Dominus, dicens: Canes comedent Iezabel in agro Iezrahel.
24 Him that dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
Si mortuus fuerit Achab in civitate, comedent eum canes: si autem mortuus fuerit in agro, comedent eum volucres caeli.
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
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 things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
et abominabilis factus est, in tantum ut sequeretur idola, quae fecerant Amorrhaei, quos consumpsit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, 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 the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens:
29 See you how Ahab humbles himself before me? because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but 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.
