2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, like David his father;
Viginti annorum erat Achaz cum regnare coepisset: et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: non fecit rectum in conspectu Domini sicut David pater eius:
2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals.
sed ambulavit in viis regum Israel, insuper et statuas fudit Baalim.
3 Moreover he burnt incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, and made his sons pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Ipse est, qui adolevit incensum in Valle benennom, et lustravit filios suos in igne iuxta ritum gentium, quas interfecit Dominus in adventu filiorum Israel.
4 He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Sacrificabat quoque, et thymiama succendebat in excelsis, et in collibus, et sub omni ligno frondoso.
5 Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they struck him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
Tradiditque eum Dominus Deus eius in manu regis Syriae, qui percussit eum, magnamque praedam cepit de eius imperio, et adduxit in Damascum: manibus quoque regis Israel traditus est, et percussus plaga grandi.
6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Occiditque Phacee, filius Romeliae, de Iuda centum viginti millia in die uno, omnes viros bellatores: eo quod reliquissent Dominum Deum patrum suorum.
7 Zikri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
Eodem tempore occidit Zechri, vir potens ex Ephraim, Maasiam filium regis, et Ezricam ducem domus eius, Elcanam quoque secundum a rege.
8 The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
Ceperuntque filii Israel de fratribus suis ducenta millia mulierum, puerorum, et puellarum, et infinitam praedam: pertuleruntque eam in Samariam.
9 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, "Look, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.
Ea tempestate erat ibi propheta Domini, nomine Obed: qui egressus obviam exercitui venienti in Samariam, dixit eis: Ecce iratus Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum contra Iuda, tradidit eos in manibus vestris, et occidistis eos atrociter, ita ut ad caelum pertingeret vestra crudelitas.
10 Now you purpose to keep under the people of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren't there even with you trespasses of your own against the LORD your God?
Insuper filios Iuda, et Ierusalem vultis vobis subiicere in servos et ancillas. quod nequaquam facto opus est: peccastis enim super hoc Domino Deo vestro.
11 Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of the LORD is on you."
Sed audite consilium meum, et reducite captivos, quos adduxistis de fratribus vestris, quia magnus furor Domini imminet vobis.
12 Then some of the heads of the people of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,
Steterunt itaque viri de principibus filiorum Ephraim, Azarias filius Iohanan, Barachias filius Mosollamoth, Ezechias filius Sellum, et Amasa filius Hadali, contra eos, qui veniebant de praelio,
13 and said to them, "You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against the LORD, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."
et dixerunt eis: Non introducetis huc captivos, ne peccemus Domino. Quare vultis adiicere super peccata nostra, et vetera cumulare delicta? grande quippe peccatum est, et ira furoris Domini imminet super Israel.
14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the leaders and all the assembly.
Dimiseruntque viri bellatores praedam, et universa quae ceperant coram principibus, et omni multitudine.
15 The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
Steteruntque viri, quos supra memoravimus, et apprehendentes captivos, omnesque qui nudi erant, vestierunt de spoliis: cumque vestissent eos, et calceassent, et refecissent cibo ac potu, unxissentque propter laborem, et adhibuissent eis curam: quicumque ambulare non poterant, et erant imbecillo corpore, imposuerunt eos iumentis, et adduxerunt Iericho Civitatem palmarum ad fratres eorum, ipsique reversi sunt in Samariam.
16 At that time king Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him.
Tempore illo misit rex Achaz ad regem Assyriorum, postulans auxilium.
17 For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
Veneruntque Idumaei, et percusserunt multos ex Iuda, et ceperunt praedam magnam.
18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived there.
Philisthiim quoque diffusi sunt per urbes campestres, et ad Meridiem Iuda: ceperuntque Bethsames, et Aialon, et Gaderoth, Socho quoque, et Thamnan, et Gamzo, cum viculis suis, et habitaverunt in eis.
19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against the LORD.
Humiliaverat enim Dominus Iudam propter Achaz regem Iuda, eo quod nudasset eum auxilio, et contemptui habuisset Dominum.
20 Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but did not strengthen him.
Adduxitque contra eum Thelgathphalnasar regem Assyriorum, qui et afflixit eum, et nullo resistente vastavit.
21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it did not help him.
Igitur Achaz spoliata domo Domini, et domo regum, ac principum, dedit regi Assyriorum munera, et tamen nihil ei profuit.
22 In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this same king Ahaz.
Insuper et tempore angustiae suae auxit contemptum in Dominum, ipse per se rex Achaz,
23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
immolavit diis Damasci victimas percussoribus suis, et dixit: Dii regum Syriae auxiliantur eis, quos ego placabo hostiis, et aderunt mihi, cum econtrario ipsi fuerint ruinae ei, et universo Israel.
24 Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God's house, and cut in pieces the vessels of God's house, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
Direptis itaque Achaz omnibus vasis domus Dei, atque confractis, clausit ianuas templi Dei, et fecit sibi altaria in universis angulis Ierusalem.
25 In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD, the God of his fathers.
In omnibus quoque urbibus Iuda extruxit aras ad cremandum thus, atque ad iracundiam provocavit Dominum Deum patrum suorum.
26 Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Reliqua autem sermonum eius, et omnium operum suorum priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.
27 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate Ierusalem: neque enim receperunt eum in sepulchra regum Israel. Regnavitque Ezechias filius eius pro eo.
