I Regum 15

1 Igitur in octavo decimo anno regni Ieroboam filii Nabat, regnavit Abiam super Iudam.

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

2 Tribus annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Maacha filia Abessalom.

Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3 Ambulavitque in omnibus peccatis patris sui, quæ fecerat ante eum: nec erat cor eius perfectum cum Domino Deo suo, sicut cor David patris eius.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with Yhwh his God, as the heart of David his father.

4 Sed propter David dedit ei Dominus Deus suus lucernam in Ierusalem, ut suscitaret filium eius post eum, et statueret Ierusalem:

Nevertheless for David’s sake did Yhwh his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

5 eo quod fecisset David rectum in oculis Domini, et non declinasset ab omnibus, quæ præceperat ei cunctis diebus vitæ suæ, excepto sermone Uriæ Hethæi.

Because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yhwh, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 Attamen bellum fuit inter Roboam, et Ieroboam omni tempore vitæ eius.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

7 Reliqua autem sermonum Abiam, et omnia quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda? Fuitque prælium inter Abiam et inter Ieroboam.

Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Et dormivit Abiam cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: regnavitque Asa filius eius pro eo.

And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

9 In anno ergo vigesimo Ieroboam regis Israel regnavit Asa rex Iuda,

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

10 et quadraginta et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Maacha, filia Abessalom.

And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Et fecit Asa rectum ante conspectum Domini, sicut David pater eius:

And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Yhwh, as did David his father.

12 et abstulit effeminatos de terra, purgavitque universas sordes idolorum, quæ fecerant patres eius.

And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 Insuper et Maacham matrem suam amovit, ne esset princeps in sacris Priapi, et in luco eius, quem consecraverat: subvertitque specum eius, et confregit simulacrum turpissimum, et combussit in Torrente Cedron:

And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

14 excelsa autem non abstulit. Verumtamen cor Asa perfectum erat cum Domino cunctis diebus suis:

But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with Yhwh all his days.

15 et intulit ea, quæ sanctificaverat pater suus, et voverat, in domum Domini, argentum et aurum, et vasa.

And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of Yhwh, silver, and gold, and vessels.

16 Bellum autem erat inter Asa, et Baasa regem Israel cunctis diebus eorum.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

17 Ascendit quoque Baasa rex Israel in Iudam, et ædificavit Rama, ut non posset quispiam egredi vel ingredi de parte Asa regis Iuda.

And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

18 Tollens itaque Asa omne argentum, et aurum, quod remanserat in thesauris domus Domini, et in thesauris domus regiæ, et dedit illud in manus servorum suorum: et misit ad Benadad filium Tabremon filii Hezion, regem Syriæ, qui habitabat in Damasco, dicens:

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Yhwh, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben–hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

19 Fœdus est inter me et te, et inter patrem meum et patrem tuum: ideo misit tibi munera, argentum et aurum: et peto ut venias, et irritum facias fœdus, quod habes cum Baasa rege Israel, et recedat a me.

There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

20 Acquiescens Benadad regi Asa, misit principes exercitus sui in civitates Israel, et percusserunt Ahion, et Dan, et Abeldomum Maacha, et universam Cenneroth, omnes scilicet Terram Nephthali.

So Ben–hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel–beth–maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Quod cum audisset Baasa, intermisit ædificare Rama, et reversus est in Thersa.

And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

22 Rex autem Asa nuncium misit in omnem Iudam, dicens: Nemo sit excusatus. Et tulerunt lapides de Rama, et ligna eius, quibus ædificaverat Baasa, et extruxit de eis rex Asa Gabaa Beniamin, et Maspha.

Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

23 Reliqua autem omnium sermonum Asa, et universæ fortitudines eius, et cuncta quæ fecit, et civitates, quas extruxit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda? Verumtamen in tempore senectutis suæ doluit pedes.

The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

24 Et dormivit cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in Civitate David patris sui. Regnavitque Iosaphat filius eius pro eo.

And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

25 Nadab vero filius Ieroboam regnavit super Israel anno secundo Asa regis Iuda: regnavitque super Israel duobus annis.

And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

26 Et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini, et ambulavit in viis patris sui, et in peccatis eius, quibus peccare fecit Israel.

And he did evil in the sight of Yhwh, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

27 Insidiatus est autem ei Baasa filius Ahiæ de domo Issachar, et percussit eum in Gebbethon, quæ est urbs Philisthinorum: siquidem Nadab et omnis Israel obsidebant Gebbethon.

And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

28 Interfecit ergo illum Baasa in anno tertio Asa regis Iuda, et regnavit pro eo.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

29 Cumque regnasset, percussit omnem domum Ieroboam: non dimisit ne unam quidem animam de semine eius, donec deleret eum iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu servi sui Ahiæ Silonitis,

And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of Yhwh, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

30 propter peccata Ieroboam, quæ peccaverat, et quibus peccare fecerat Israel: et propter delictum, quo irritaverat Dominum Deum Israel.

Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked Yhwh God of Israel to anger.

31 Reliqua autem sermonum Nadab, et omnia quæ operatus est, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

32 Fuitque bellum inter Asa, et Baasa regem Israel cunctis diebus eorum.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

33 Anno tertio Asa regis Iuda regnavit Baasa filius Ahiæ, super omnem Israel in Thersa vigintiquattuor annis.

In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.

34 Et fecit malum coram Domino, ambulavitque in via Ieroboam, et in peccatis eius, quibus peccare fecit Israel.

And he did evil in the sight of Yhwh, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
