< I Regum 14 >
1 In tempore illo aegrotavit Abia filius Ieroboam.
2 Dixitque Ieroboam uxori suae: 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 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 Fecit ut dixerat, uxor Ieroboam: et consurgens abiit in Silo, et venit in domum Ahiae: at ille non poterat videre, quia caligaverant oculi eius prae senectute.
5 Dixit autem Dominus ad Ahiam: Ecce uxor Ieroboam ingreditur ut consulat te super filio suo qui aegrotat. haec et haec loqueris ei. Cum ergo illa intraret, et dissimularet se esse quae erat,
6 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 Vade, et dic Ieroboam: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Quia exaltavi te de medio populi, et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israel:
8 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 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 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 Qui mortui fuerint de Ieroboam in civitate, comedent eos canes: qui autem mortui fuerint in agro, vorabunt eos aves caeli: quia Dominus locutus est.
12 Tu igitur surge, et vade in domum tuam: et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem, morietur puer,
13 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 Constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israel, qui percutiet domum Ieroboam in hac die, et in hoc tempore:
15 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 Et tradet Dominus Israel propter peccata Ieroboam, qui peccavit, et peccare fecit Israel.
17 Surrexit itaque uxor Ieroboam, et abiit, et venit in Thersa: cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus, puer mortuus est,
18 et sepelierunt eum. Et planxit eum omnis Israel iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiae prophetae.
19 Reliqua autem verborum Ieroboam, quomodo pugnaverit, et quomodo regnaverit, ecce scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel.
20 Dies autem, quibus regnavit Ieroboam, viginti duo anni sunt: et dormivit cum patribus suis: regnavitque Nadab filius eius pro eo.
21 Porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Iuda. Quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam, cum regnare coepisset: 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.
And Roboam son of Solomon ruled over Juda. Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in the city Jerusalem, which the Lord chose to put his name there out of all the tribes of Israel: and his mother's name [was] Naama the Ammonitess.
22 Et fecit Iudas malum coram Domino, et irritaverunt eum super omnibus, quae fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis, quae peccaverunt.
And Roboam did evil in the sight of the Lord; and he provoked him in all the things which their fathers did in their sins which they sinned.
23 Aedificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi aras, et statuas, et lucos super omnem collem excelsum, et subter omnem arborem frondosam:
And they built for themselves high places, and pillars, and [planted] groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree.
24 sed et effeminati fuerunt in terra, feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium, quas attrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israel.
And there was a conspiracy in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord removed from before the children of Israel.
25 In quinto autem anno regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Aegypti in Ierusalem,
And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
26 et tulit thesauros domus Domini, et thesauros regios, et universa diripuit: scuta quoque aurea, quae fecerat Salomon:
and took all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and the golden spears which David took out of the hand of the sons of Adrazaar king of Suba, and brought them into Jerusalem, even all that he took, [and] the golden shields which Solomon had made, [and carried them away into Egypt.]
27 pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta aerea, et tradidit ea in manum ducum scutariorum, et eorum qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis.
And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them; and the chiefs of the golden shields which Solomon had made, and the chiefs of the body guard, who kept the gate of the house of the king, were placed in charge over them.
28 Cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini, portabant ea qui praeeundi habebant officium: et postea reportabant ad armamentarium scutariorum.
And it came to pass when the king went into the house of the Lord, that the body guard took them up, and fixed them in the chamber of the body guard.
29 Reliqua autem sermonum Roboam, et omnia quae fecit, ecce scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda.
And the rest of the history of Roboam, and all that he did, behold, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
30 Fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Ieroboam cunctis diebus.
And there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam continually.
31 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.
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Abiu his son reigned in his stead.
