1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.
In tempore illo ægrotavit Abia filius Ieroboam.
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, so that you won’t be recognized as Jeroboam’s wife. Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that I would be king over this people.
Dixitque Ieroboam uxori suæ: Surge, et commuta habitum, ne cognoscaris quod sis uxor Ieroboam: et vade in Silo, ubi est Ahias propheta, qui locutus est mihi, quod regnaturus essem super populum hunc.
3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”
Tolle quoque in manu tua decem panes, et crustulam, et vas mellis, et vade ad illum: ipse enim indicabit tibi quid eventurum sit puero huic.
4 Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
Fecit ut dixerat, uxor Ieroboam: et consurgens abiit in Silo, et venit in domum Ahiæ: at ille non poterat videre, quia caligaverant oculi eius præ senectute.
5 The LORD said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”
Dixit autem Dominus ad Ahiam: Ecce uxor Ieroboam ingreditur ut consulat te super filio suo qui ægrotat. hæc et hæc loqueris ei. Cum ergo illa intraret, et dissimularet se esse quæ erat,
6 So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, Jeroboam’s wife! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
audivit Ahias sonitum pedum eius introeuntis per ostium, et ait: Ingredere uxor Ieroboam: quare aliam te esse simulas? ego autem missus sum ad te durus nuncius.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,
Vade, et dic Ieroboam: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Quia exaltavi te de medio populi, et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israel:
8 and tore the kingdom away from David’s house, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,
et scidi regnum domus David, et dedi illud tibi, et non fuisti sicut servus meus David, qui custodivit mandata mea, et secutus est me in toto corde suo, faciens quod placitum esset in conspectu meo:
9 but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back,
sed operatus es mala super omnes, qui fuerunt ante te, et fecisti tibi deos alienos et conflatiles, ut me ad iracundiam provocares, me autem proiecisti post corpus tuum:
10 therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung until it is all gone.
idcirco ecce ego inducam mala super domum Ieroboam, et percutiam de Ieroboam mingentem ad parietem, et clausum, et novissimum in Israel: et mundabo reliquias domus Ieroboam, sicut mundari solet fimus usque ad purum.
11 The dogs will eat he who belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field, for the LORD has spoken it.”’
Qui mortui fuerint de Ieroboam in civitate, comedent eos canes: qui autem mortui fuerint in agro, vorabunt eos aves cæli: quia Dominus locutus est.
12 Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child will die.
Tu igitur surge, et vade in domum tuam: et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem, morietur puer,
13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
et planget eum omnis Israel, et sepeliet: iste enim solus inferetur de Ieroboam in sepulchrum, quia inventus est super eo sermo bonus a Domino Deo Israel, in domo Ieroboam.
14 Moreover the LORD will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day! What? Even now.
Constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israel, qui percutiet domum Ieroboam in hac die, et in hoc tempore:
15 For the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
et percutiet Dominus Deus Israel, sicut moveri solet arundo in aqua: et evellet Israel de terra bona hac, quam dedit patribus eorum, et ventilabit eos trans Flumen: quia fecerunt sibi lucos, ut irritarent Dominum.
16 He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.”
Et tradet Dominus Israel propter peccata Ieroboam, qui peccavit, et peccare fecit Israel.
17 Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
Surrexit itaque uxor Ieroboam, et abiit, et venit in Thersa: cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus, puer mortuus est,
18 All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
et sepelierunt eum. Et planxit eum omnis Israel iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiæ prophetæ.
19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Reliqua autem verborum Ieroboam, quomodo pugnaverit, et quomodo regnaverit, ecce scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel.
20 The days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years; then he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
Dies autem, quibus regnavit Ieroboam, viginti duo anni sunt: et dormivit cum patribus suis: regnavitque Nadab filius eius pro eo.
21 Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
Porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Iuda. Quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam, cum regnare cœpisset: decem et septem annos regnavit in Ierusalem civitate, quam elegit Dominus ut poneret nomen suum ibi, ex omnibus tribubus Israel. Nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanitis.
22 Judah did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
Et fecit Iudas malum coram Domino, et irritaverunt eum super omnibus, quæ fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis, quæ peccaverunt.
23 For they also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Ædificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi aras, et statuas, et lucos super omnem collem excelsum, et subter omnem arborem frondosam:
24 There were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Israel.
sed et effeminati fuerunt in terra, feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium, quas attrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israel.
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
In quinto autem anno regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Ægypti in Ierusalem,
26 and he took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He even took away all of it, including all the gold shields which Solomon had made.
et tulit thesauros domus Domini, et thesauros regios, et universa diripuit: scuta quoque aurea, quæ fecerat Salomon:
27 King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta ærea, et tradidit ea in manum ducum scutariorum, et eorum qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis.
28 It was so, that as often as the king went into the LORD’s house, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
Cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini, portabant ea qui præeundi habebant officium: et postea reportabant ad armamentarium scutariorum.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem sermonum Roboam, et omnia quæ fecit, ecce scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda.
30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Ieroboam cunctis diebus.
31 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
Dormivitque Roboam cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David: nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanitis: et regnavit Abiam filius eius pro eo.
