2 Chronicles 11
1 And Rehoboam cometh in to Jerusalem, and assembleth the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
venit autem Roboam in Hierusalem et convocavit universam domum Iuda et Beniamin in centum octoginta milibus electorum atque bellantium ut dimicaret contra Israhel et converteret ad se regnum suum
2 And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,
factusque est sermo Domini ad Semeiam hominem Dei dicens
3 'Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
loquere ad Roboam filium Salomonis regem Iuda et ad universum Israhel qui est in Iuda et Beniamin
4 Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the words of Jehovah, and turn back from going against Jeroboam.
haec dicit Dominus non ascendetis neque pugnabitis contra fratres vestros revertatur unusquisque in domum suam quia mea hoc gestum est voluntate qui cum audissent sermonem Domini reversi sunt nec perrexerunt contra Hieroboam
5 And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah,
habitavit autem Roboam in Hierusalem et aedificavit civitates muratas in Iuda
6 yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa,
extruxitque Bethleem et Aetham et Thecue
7 and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,
Bethsur quoque et Soccho et Odollam
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
necnon Geth et Maresa et Ziph
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
sed et Aduram et Lachis et Azecha
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks.
Saraa quoque et Ahilon et Hebron quae erant in Iuda et Beniamin civitates munitissimas
11 And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,
cumque clausisset eas muris posuit in eis principes ciborumque horrea hoc est olei et vini
12 and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.
sed et in singulis urbibus fecit armamentaria scutorum et hastarum firmavitque eas multa diligentia et imperavit super Iudam et Beniamin
13 And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border,
sacerdotes autem et Levitae qui erant in universo Israhel venerunt ad eum de cunctis sedibus suis
14 for the Levites have left their suburbs and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests to Jehovah,
relinquentes suburbana et possessiones suas et transeuntes ad Iudam et Hierusalem eo quod abiecisset eos Hieroboam et posteri eius ne sacerdotio Domini fungerentur
15 and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made —
qui constituit sibi sacerdotes excelsorum et daemonum vitulorumque quos fecerat
16 and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father.
sed et de cunctis tribubus Israhel quicumque dederant cor suum ut quaererent Dominum Deum Israhel venerunt Hierusalem ad immolandas victimas Domino Deo patrum suorum
17 And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
et roboraverunt regnum Iuda et confirmaverunt Roboam filium Salomonis per tres annos ambulaverunt enim in viis David et Salomonis annis tantum tribus
18 And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.
duxit autem Roboam uxorem Maalath filiam Hierimuth filii David Abiail quoque filiam Heliab filii Isai
19 And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham.
quae peperit ei filios Ieus et Somoriam et Zoom
20 And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
post hanc quoque accepit Maacha filiam Absalom quae peperit ei Abia et Ethai et Ziza et Salumith
21 And Rehoboam loveth Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines — for eighteen wives he hath taken, and sixty concubines — and he begetteth twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.
amavit autem Roboam Maacha filiam Absalom super omnes uxores suas et concubinas nam uxores decem et octo duxerat concubinasque sexaginta et genuit viginti octo filios et sexaginta filias
22 And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign.
constituit vero in capite Abiam filium Maacha ducem super fratres suos ipsum enim regem facere cogitabat
23 And he hath understanding, and spreadeth out of all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and giveth to them provision in abundance; and he asketh a multitude of wives.
qui sapientior fuit et potentior super omnes filios eius et in cunctis finibus Iuda et Beniamin et in universis civitatibus muratis praebuitque eis escas plurimas et multas petivit uxores
