2 Kings 1
1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
Praevaricatus est autem Moab in Israel, postquam mortuus est Achab.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
Ceciditque Ochozias per cancellos coenaculi sui, quod habebat in Samaria, et aegrotavit: misitque nuncios, dicens ad eos: Ite, consulite Beelzebub deum Accaron, utrum vivere queam de infirmitate mea hac.
3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that all of you go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens: Surge, et ascende in occursum nunciorum regis Samariae, et dices ad eos: Numquid non est Deus in Israel, ut eatis ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron?
4 Now therefore thus says the LORD, You shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die. And Elijah departed.
Quam ob rem haec dicit Dominus: De lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris. Et abiit Elias.
5 And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are all of you now turned back?
Reversique sunt nuncii ad Ochoziam. Qui dixit eis: Quare reversi estis?
6 And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, return unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus says the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that you send to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore you shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
At illi responderunt ei: Vir occurrit nobis, et dixit ad nos: Ite, et revertimini ad regem, qui misit vos, et dicetis ei: Haec dicit Dominus: Numquid, quia non erat Deus in Israel, mittis ut consulatur Beelzebub deus Accaron? Idcirco de lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.
7 And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
Qui dixit eis: Cuius figurae et habitus est vir ille, qui occurrit vobis, et locutus est verba haec?
8 And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
At illi dixerunt: Vir pilosus, et zona pellicea accinctus renibus. Qui ait: Elias Thesbites est.
9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spoke unto him, You man of God, the king has said, Come down.
Misitque ad eum quinquagenarium principem, et quinquaginta qui erant sub eo. Qui ascendit ad eum: sedentique in vertice montis, ait: Homo Dei, rex praecepit ut descendas.
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Respondensque Elias, dixit quinquagenario: Si homo Dei sum, descendat ignis de caelo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit itaque ignis de caelo, et devoravit eum, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo.
11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.
Rursumque misit ad eum principem quinquagenarium alterum, et quinquaginta cum eo. Qui locutus est illi: Homo Dei, haec dicit rex: Festina, descende.
12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Respondens Elias ait: Si homo Dei ego sum, descendat ignis de caelo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit ergo ignis de caelo, et devoravit illum, et quinquaginta eius.
13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray you, let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
Iterum misit principem quinquagenarium tertium, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo. Qui cum venisset, curvavit genua contra Eliam, et precatus est eum, et ait: Homo Dei, noli despicere animam meam, et animas servorum tuorum qui mecum sunt.
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in your sight.
Ecce descendit ignis de caelo, et devoravit duos principes quinquagenarios primos, et quinquagenos, qui cum eis erant: sed nunc obsecro ut miserearis animae meae.
15 And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
Locutus est autem Angelus Domini ad Eliam, dicens: Descende cum eo, ne timeas. Surrexit igitur, et descendit cum eo ad regem,
16 And he said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Forasmuch as you have sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore you shall not come down off that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
et locutus est ei: Haec dicit Dominus: Quia misisti nuncios ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron, quasi non esset Deus in Israel, a quo posses interrogare sermonem, ideo de lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.
17 So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his position in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
Mortuus est ergo iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est Elias, et regnavit Ioram frater eius pro eo, anno secundo Ioram filii Iosaphat regis Iudae: non enim habebat filium.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Reliqua autem verborum Ochoziae, quae operatus est, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?
