2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah [was] twenty and five years old [when] he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Vigintiquinque annorum erat Amasias cum regnare coepisset, et vigintinovem annis regnavit in Ierusalem, nomen matris eius Ioadau de Ierusalem.
2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
Fecitque bonum in conspectu Domini: verumtamen non in corde perfecto.
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
Cumque roboratum sibi videret imperium, iugulavit servos, qui occiderant regem patrem suum,
4 But he slew not their children, but [did] as [it is] written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
sed filios eorum non interfecit sicut scriptum est in Libro legis Moysi, ubi praecepit Dominus, dicens: Non occidentur patres pro filiis, neque filii pro patribus suis, sed unusquisque in suo peccato morietur.
5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of [their] fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice [men, able] to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
Congregavit igitur Amasias Iuda, et constituit eos per familias, tribunosque et centuriones in universo Iuda, et Beniamin: et recensuit a viginti annis sursum, invenitque triginta millia iuvenum, qui egrederentur ad pugnam, et tenerent hastam et clypeum:
6 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
Mercede quoque conduxit de Israel centum millia robustorum, centum talentis argenti.
7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD [is] not with Israel, [to wit, with] all the children 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 But if thou wilt go, do [it], be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
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 said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
Dixitque Amasias ad hominem Dei: Quid ergo fiet de centum talentis, quae dedi militibus Israel? Et respondit ei homo Dei: Habet Dominus unde tibi dare possit multo his plura.
10 Then Amaziah separated them, [to wit], the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
Separavit itaque Amasias exercitum, qui venerat ad eum ex Ephraim, ut reverteretur in locum suum: at illi contra Iuda vehementer irati, reversi sunt in regionem suam.
11 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, 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 [left] alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
Et alia decem millia virorum ceperunt filii Iuda, et adduxerunt ad praeruptum cuiusdam petrae, praecipitaveruntque eos de summo in praeceps, qui universi crepuerunt.
13 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
At ille exercitus, quem remiserat Amasias ne secum iret ad praelium, diffusus est in civitatibus Iuda a Samaria usque ad Bethoron, et interfectis tribus millibus, diripuit praedam magnam.
14 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up [to be] his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
Amasias vero post caedem Idumaeorum, et allatos deos filiorum Seir, statuit illos in deos sibi, et adorabat eos, et illis adolebat incensum.
15 Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own 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 it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the king] said unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
Cumque haec 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 Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
Igitur Amasias rex Iuda inito pessimo consilio, misit ad Ioas filium Ioahaz filii Iehu, regem Israel, dicens: Veni, videamus nos mutuo.
18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar that [was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in Lebanon, and trode down 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 bestiae, quae erant in silva Libani, transierunt, et conculcaverunt carduum.
19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to [thine] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, [even] thou, and Judah 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 hear; for it [came] of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they sought after the gods of Edom.
Noluit audire Amasias, eo quod Domini esset voluntas ut traderetur in manus hostium propter deos Edom.
21 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, [both] he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which [belongeth] to Judah.
Ascendit igitur Ioas rex Israel, et mutuos sibi praebuere conspectus: Amasias autem rex Iuda erat in Bethsames Iuda:
22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
corruitque Iuda coram Israel, et fugit in tabernacula sua.
23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Porro Amasiam regem Iuda, filium Ioas filii Ioahaz, 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 took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Omne quoque aurum, et argentum, et universa vasa, quae repererat in domo Dei, et apud Obededom in thesauris etiam domus regiae, necnon et filios obsidum reduxit in Samariam.
25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Vixit autem Amasias filius Ioas rex Iuda, postquam mortuus est Ioas filius Ioahaz rex Israel, quindecim annis.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, [are] they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Reliqua autem sermonum Amasiae priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.
27 Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew 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 upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
Reportantesque super equos, sepelierunt eum cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
