I Regum 15

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

And in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Juda.

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

And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.

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

And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].

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

Howbeit for David's sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.

5 eo quod fecisset David rectum in oculis Domini, et non declinasset ab omnibus, quae praeceperat ei cunctis diebus vitae suae, excepto sermone Uriae Hethaei.

Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.

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

7 Reliqua autem sermonum Abiae, et omnia quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda? Fuitque praelium inter Abiam et inter Ieroboam.

And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiu and Jeroboam.

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

And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam; and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son reigns in his stead.

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

In the four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins to reign over Juda.

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

And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.

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

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

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

And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.

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 he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt them with fire in the brook of Kedron.

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

But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days.

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

And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his gold and silver pillars into the house of the Lord, and [his] vessels.

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

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

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

And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so that no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Juda.

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

And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

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

Make a covenant between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: lo! I have sent forth to thee gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up 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, omnem scilicet Terram Nephthali.

And the son of Ader hearkened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they smote Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.

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

And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.

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

And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.

23 Reliqua autem omnium sermonum Asa, et universae fortitudines eius, et cuncta quae fecit, et civitates, quas extruxit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda? Verumtamen in tempore senectutis suae doluit pedes.

And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? 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 Josaphat his son reigns in his stead.

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

And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned two years in Israel.

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 that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.

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

And Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan son of Achia, conspired against him, and smote him in Gabathon of the Philistines; for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.

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

And Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa son of Asa king of Juda; 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 Ahiae Silonitis,

And it came to pass when he reigned, that he smote the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Achia the Selonite,

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

for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.

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

And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are not these 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 a war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel in all their days. ]

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

And in the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Achia begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and four years.

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

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.
