2 Chronicles 25
1 Twenty-five years old, was Amaziah, when he began to reign, and, twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, 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 eyes of Yahweh, —only not with a whole heart.
Fecitque bonum in conspectu Domini: verumtamen non in corde perfecto.
3 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was confirmed unto him, that he slew his servants who had smitten the king his father;
Cumque roboratum sibi videret imperium, iugulavit servos, qui occiderant regem patrem suum,
4 but, their sons, he put not to death, —but as it is written in the law—in the book of Moses—how that Yahweh commanded, saying-Fathers, shall not die for, sons, and Sons, shall not die, for, fathers, but Each man, for his own sin, shall die.
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 And Amaziah gathered Judah together, and appointed them by their ancestral houses, as rulers of thousands and as rulers of hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin, —and he numbered them, from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, who could grasp 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 And he hired out of Israel, a hundred thousand heroes of valour, for a hundred talents of silver.
Mercede quoque conduxit de Israel centum millia robustorum, centum talentis argenti.
7 But, a man of God, came unto him, saying, O king! let not the host of Israel come with thee, —for Yahweh is not with Israel, [with] any of the sons 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 art going, do, be strong for the battle, —God will cause thee to fall before the enemy, for there is strength in God, to help or to cause to fall.
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 unto the man of God, What then shall be done as to the hundred talents, which I have given to the company of Israel? Then said the man of God, Yahweh 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 So Amaziah separated them, [appointing] unto the company which had come unto him out of Ephraim, to depart unto their own place, —wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, so they returned to their own place, in a heat of 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, took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, —and smote of the sons of Seir, ten thousand;
Porro Amasias confidenter eduxit populum suum, et abiit in Vallem salinarum, percussitque filios Seir decem millia.
12 and the sons of Judah took captive, ten thousand alive, and brought to the top of the crag, —and cast them down from the top of the crag, and, all of them, were torn asunder.
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, as for the sons of the company which Amaziah sent back from going with him to the war, they spread themselves out against the cities of Judah, from Samaria, even unto Beth-horon, —and smote of them three thousand, and took great plunder.
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 And so it was, after Amaziah came in from smiting the Edomites, that he brought in the gods of the sons of Seir, and set them up for himself, as gods, —and, before them, used he to bow himself down, and, unto them, used he to burn a perfume.
Amasias vero post caedem Idumaeorum, et allatos deos filiorum Seir, statuit illos in deos sibi, et adorabat eos, et illis adolebat incensum.
15 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh, against Amaziah, —and he sent unto him a prophet, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou sought the gods of the people, which delivered not their own people out of thy 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 spake unto him, that he said to him, To be, counselor to the king, have we appointed thee? forbear thou, wherefore should they smite thee? So 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 counsel, and sent unto Joash, son of Jehoahaz 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 And Joash king of Israel sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Come! give thy daughter unto my son to wife, —but there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, 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 Thou hast said-Lo! thou hast smitten the Edomites, and thy heart hath lifted thee up to display honour, -Now, abide in thine own house, wherefore shouldst thou engage in strife with Misfortune, and fall, 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 hearkened not, because, from God, it was, to the end he might deliver them up into [their enemies’] hand, —because they had sought 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 came up, and they looked one another in the face, he, and Amaziah king of Judah, —in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah.
Ascendit igitur Ioas rex Israel, et mutuos sibi praebuere conspectus: Amasias autem rex Iuda erat in Bethsames Iuda:
22 Then was Judah defeated, before Israel, —and they fled every man to his own home;
corruitque Iuda coram Israel, et fugit in tabernacula sua.
23 and, Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash son of Jehoahaz, was taken by Joash king of Israel, in Beth-shemesh, —and he brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as 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, all the gold and the silver and all the utensils that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and hostages, he took, -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 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 story of Amaziah, first and last, lo! it is 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 And, after the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made against him a conspiracy in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish, —but they sent after him to Lachish, 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 on horses, -and buried him with his fathers, in the city of Judah.
Reportantesque super equos, sepelierunt eum cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
