1 Kings 22
1 They continued three years without war between Aram and Israel.
Transierunt igitur tres anni absque bello inter Syriam et Israel.
2 It happened in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
In anno autem tertio, descendit Iosaphat rex Iuda ad regem Israel.
3 The king of Israel said to his servants, "You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we are still, and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Aram?"
(Dixitque rex Israel ad servos suos: Ignoratis quod nostra sit Ramoth Galaad, et negligimus tollere eam de manu regis Syriæ?)
4 He said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
Et ait ad Iosaphat: Veniesne mecum ad præliandum in Ramoth Galaad?
5 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD."
Dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israel: Sicut ego sum, ita et tu: populus meus, et populus tuus unum sunt: et equites mei, equites tui. Dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israel: Quære, oro te, hodie sermonem Domini.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" They said, "Go up; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king."
Congregavit ergo rex Israel prophetas, quadringentos circiter viros, et ait ad eos: Ire debeo in Ramoth Galaad ad bellandum, an quiescere? Qui responderunt: Ascende, et dabit eam Dominus in manu regis.
7 But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of him?"
Dixit autem Iosaphat: Non est hic propheta Domini quispiam, ut interrogemus per eum?
8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil." Jehoshaphat said, "Do not let the king say so."
Et ait rex Israel ad Iosaphat: Remansit vir unus, per quem possumus interrogare Dominum: sed ego odi eum, quia non prophetat mihi bonum, sed malum, Michæas filius Iemla. Cui Iosaphat ait: Ne loquaris ita rex.
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, "Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah."
Vocavit ergo rex Israel eunuchum quendam, et dixit ei: Festina adducere Michæam filium Iemla.
10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Rex autem Israel, et Iosaphat rex Iuda sedebant unusquisque in solio suo vestiti cultu regio, in area iuxta ostium portæ Samariæ, et universi prophetæ prophetabant in conspectu eorum.
11 Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'With these you shall push the Arameans, until they are consumed.'"
Fecit quoque sibi Sedecias filius Chanaana cornua ferrea, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus: His ventilabis Syriam, donec deleas eam.
12 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king."
Omnesque prophetæ similiter prophetabant, dicentes: Ascende in Ramoth Galaad, et vade prospere, et tradet Dominus in manus regis.
13 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good."
Nuncius vero, qui ierat ut vocaret Michæam, locutus est ad eum, dicens: Ecce sermones prophetarum ore uno regi bona prædicant: sit ergo sermo tuus similis eorum, et loquere bona.
14 Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak."
Cui Michæas ait: Vivit Dominus, quia quodcumque dixerit mihi Dominus, hoc loquar.
15 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?" He answered him, "Go up and prosper; and the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king."
Venit itaque ad regem, et ait illi rex: Michæa, ire debemus in Ramoth Galaad ad præliandum, an cessare? Cui ille respondit: Ascende, et vade prospere, et tradet eam Dominus in manus regis.
16 The king said to him, "How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"
Dixit autem rex ad eum: Iterum atque iterum adiuro te, ut non loquaris mihi nisi quod verum est, in nomine Domini.
17 He said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, 'These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.'"
Et ille ait: Vidi cunctum Israel dispersum in montibus, quasi oves non habentes pastorem. Et ait Dominus: Non habent isti dominum: revertatur unusquisque in domum suam in pace.
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"
(Dixit ergo rex Israel ad Iosaphat: Numquid non dixi tibi, quia non prophetat mihi bonum, sed semper malum?)
19 Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
Ille vero addens, ait: Propterea audi sermonem Domini: Vidi Dominum sedentem super solium suum, et omnem exercitum cæli assistentem ei a dextris et a sinistris:
20 The LORD said, 'Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One said one thing; and another said another.
et ait Dominus: Quis decipiet Achab regem Israel, ut ascendat, et cadat in Ramoth Galaad? Et dixit unus verba huiuscemodi, et alius aliter.
21 A spirit came out and stood before the LORD, and said, 'I will entice him.'
Egressus est autem spiritus, et stetit coram Domino, et ait: Ego decipiam illum. Cui locutus est Dominus: In quo?
22 The LORD said to him, 'How?' He said, 'I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' He said, 'You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.'
Et ille ait: Egrediar, et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum eius. Et dixit Dominus: Decipies, et prævalebis: egredere, et fac ita.
23 Now therefore, look, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you."
Nunc igitur ecce dedit Dominus spiritum mendacii in ore omnium prophetarum tuorum, qui hic sunt, et Dominus locutus est contra te malum.
24 Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you?"
Accessit autem Sedecias filius Chanaana, et percussit Michæam in maxillam, et dixit: Me ne ergo dimisit Spiritus Domini, et locutus est tibi?
25 Micaiah said, "Look, you will see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself."
Et ait Michæas: Visurus es in die illa, quando ingredieris cubiculum, intra cubiculum ut abscondaris.
26 The king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son.
Et ait rex Israel: Tollite Michæam, et maneat apud Amon principem civitatis, et apud Ioas filium Amelech,
27 Say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace."'"
et dicite eis: Hæc dicit rex: Mittite virum istum in carcerem, et sustentate eum pane tribulationis, et aqua angustiæ, donec revertar in pace.
28 Micaiah said, "If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." He said, "Listen, all you people."
Dixitque Michæas: Si reversus fueris in pace, non est locutus in me Dominus. Et ait: Audite populi omnes.
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
Ascendit itaque rex Israel, et Iosaphat rex Iuda in Ramoth Galaad.
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes." The king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
Dixit itaque rex Israel ad Iosaphat: Sume arma, et ingredere prælium, et induere vestibus tuis. Porro rex Israel mutavit habitum suum, et ingressus est bellum.
31 Now the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.
Rex autem Syriæ præceperat principibus curruum triginta duobus, dicens: Non pugnabitis contra minorem, et maiorem quempiam, nisi contra regem Israel, solum.
32 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "Surely that is the king of Israel." and they turned aside to fight against him. Jehoshaphat cried out.
Cum ergo vidissent principes curruum Iosaphat, suspicati sunt quod ipse esset rex Israel, et impetu facto pugnabant contra eum: et exclamavit Iosaphat.
33 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
Intellexeruntque principes curruum quod non esset rex Israel, et cessaverunt ab eo.
34 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn your hand, and carry me out of the battle; for I am severely wounded."
Vir autem quidam tetendit arcum, in incertum sagittam dirigens, et casu percussit regem Israel inter pulmonem et stomachum. At ille dixit aurigæ suo: Verte manum tuam, et eiice me de exercitu, quia graviter vulneratus sum.
35 The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
Commissum est ergo prælium in die illa, et rex Israel stabat in curru suo contra Syros, et mortuus est vespere: fluebat autem sanguis plagæ in sinum currus,
36 A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, "Every man to his city, and every man to his country."
et præco insonuit in universo exercitu antequam sol occumberet, dicens: Unusquisque revertatur in civitatem, et in terram suam.
37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
Mortuus est autem rex, et perlatus est in Samariam: sepelieruntque regem in Samaria,
38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves; according to the word of the LORD which he spoke.
et laverunt currum eius in piscina Samariæ, et linxerunt canes sanguinem eius, et habenas laverunt, iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat.
39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Reliqua autem sermonum Achab, et universa quæ fecit, et domus eburnea, quam ædificavit, cunctarumque urbium quas extruxit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
Dormivit ergo Achab cum patribus suis, et regnavit Ochozias filius eius pro eo.
41 Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Iosaphat vero filius Asa regnare cœperat super Iudam anno quarto Achab regis Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Triginta quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et vigintiquinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Azuba filia Salai.
43 He walked in all the way of Asa his father; He did not turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: however the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Et ambulavit in omni via Asa patris sui, et non declinavit ex ea: fecitque quod rectum erat in conspectu Domini. Verumtamen excelsa non abstulit: adhuc enim populus sacrificabat, et adolebat incensum in excelsis.
44 Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Pacemque habuit Iosaphat cum rege Israel.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem verborum Iosaphat, et opera eius, quæ gessit, et prælia, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda?
46 The remnant of the male temple prostitutes, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
Sed et reliquias effeminatorum, qui remanserant in diebus Asa patris eius, abstulit de terra.
47 There was no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
Nec erat tunc rex constitutus in Edom.
48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they did not go; for the ships were broken at Ezion Geber.
Rex vero Iosaphat fecerat classes in mari, quæ navigarent in Ophir propter aurum: et ire non potuerunt, quia confractæ sunt in Asiongaber.
49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with your servants in the ships." But Jehoshaphat would not.
Tunc ait Ochozias filius Achab ad Iosaphat: Vadant servi mei cum servis tuis in navibus. Et noluit Iosaphat.
50 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father; Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
Dormivitque Iosaphat cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in Civitate David patris sui: regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo.
51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
Ochozias autem filius Achab regnare cœperat super Israel in Samaria, anno septimodecimo Iosaphat regis Iuda, regnavitque super Israel duobus annis.
52 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, in which he made Israel to sin.
Et fecit malum in conspectu Domini, et ambulavit in via patris sui et matris suæ, et in via Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel.
53 He served Baal, and worshiped him, and provoked to anger the LORD, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
Servivit quoque Baal, et adoravit eum, et irritavit Dominum Deum Israel, iuxta omnia quæ fecerat pater eius.
