2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz [was] twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not [that which was] right in the sight 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 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
sed ambulavit in viis regum Israel, insuper et statuas fudit Baalim.
3 Moreover, he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had 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 also 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 Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought [them] to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote 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 slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, [who were] all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD 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 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah [that 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 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and also took 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 before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage [that] reacheth 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 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bond-men and bond-women to you: [but are there] not with you, even with you, sins 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 deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD [is] upon you.
Sed audite consilium meum, et reducite captivos, quos adduxistis de fratribus vestris, quia magnus furor Domini imminet vobis.
12 Then certain of the heads of the children 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 them that 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, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD [already], ye intend to add [more] 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 princes and all the congregation.
Dimiseruntque viri bellatores praedam, et universa quae ceperant coram principibus, et omni multitudine.
15 And the men who were expressed by name arose, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: 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 kings of Assyria to help him.
Tempore illo misit rex Achaz ad regem Assyriorum, postulans auxilium.
17 For again the Edomites had come and smitten 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 low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with its villages, and Timnah with its villages, Gimzo also and its villages: and they dwelt 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 made Judah naked, and greatly transgressed against the LORD.
Humiliaverat enim Dominus Iudam propter Achaz regem Iuda, eo quod nudasset eum auxilio, et contemptui habuisset Dominum.
20 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
Adduxitque contra eum Thelgathphalnasar regem Assyriorum, qui et afflixit eum, et nullo resistente vastavit.
21 For Ahaz took away a portion from the house of the LORD, and from the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave [it] to the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
Igitur Achaz spoliata domo Domini, et domo regum, ac principum, dedit regi Assyriorum munera, et tamen nihil ei profuit.
22 And in the time of his distress he trespassed yet more against the LORD: this [is that] 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 smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, [therefore] will I 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 And Ahaz collected the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made for himself 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 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD 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 of all his ways, first and last, behold, 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 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, [even] in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchers of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
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.
