2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-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 He did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, but not with a perfect heart.
Fecitque bonum in conspectu Domini: verumtamen non in corde perfecto.
3 Now it happened, when the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, that he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
Cumque roboratum sibi videret imperium, iugulavit servos, qui occiderant regem patrem suum,
4 But he did not put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the scroll of Moses, as YHWH 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 ordered them according to their fathers' houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, who 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 one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
Mercede quoque conduxit de Israel centum millia robustorum, centum talentis argenti.
7 A man of God came to him, saying, "O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you; for YHWH is not with Israel, with all the people 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 you will go, take action, be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow."
quod si putas in robore exercitus bella consistere, superari te faciet Deus ab hostibus: Dei quippe est et adiuvare, et in fugam convertere.
9 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?" The man of God answered, "YHWH is able to give you 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, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce 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 Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the people of Seir.
Porro Amasias confidenter eduxit populum suum, et abiit in Vallem salinarum, percussitque filios Seir decem millia.
12 The people of Judah carry away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so 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 men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, 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 happened, after that Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense to them.
Amasias vero post caedem Idumaeorum, et allatos deos filiorum Seir, statuit illos in deos sibi, et adorabat eos, et illis adolebat incensum.
15 Therefore the anger of YHWH was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, "Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your 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 It happened, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, "Have we made you one of the king's counselors? Stop. Why should you be struck down?" Then the prophet stopped, and said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to 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 consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look 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 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 your daughter to my son as his wife; then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled 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 You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?'"
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 listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had 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 king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Ascendit igitur Ioas rex Israel, et mutuos sibi praebuere conspectus: Amasias autem rex Iuda erat in Bethsames Iuda:
22 Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
corruitque Iuda coram Israel, et fugit in tabernacula sua.
23 Joash 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 broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, six hundred eighty-nine feet.
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 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God's house 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 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, look, aren't they 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 from the time that Amaziah turned away from following YHWH, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.
Qui postquam recessit a Domino, tetenderunt ei insidias in Ierusalem. Cumque fugisset in Lachis, miserunt, et interfecerunt eum ibi.
28 They brought him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the City of David.
Reportantesque super equos, sepelierunt eum cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
