I Regum 15

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

And in the eighteenth yeere of King Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, reigned Abiiam ouer Iudah.

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

Three yeere reigned hee in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

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 hee walked in all the sinnes of his father, which hee had done before him: and his heart was not perfit with the Lord his God as the heart of Dauid his father.

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

But for Dauids sake did the Lord his God giue him a light in Ierusalem, and set vp his sonne after him, and established Ierusalem,

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.

Because Dauid did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and turned from nothing that he commanded him, all the dayes of his life, saue onely in the matter of Vriah the Hittite.

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

And there was warre betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam as long as he liued.

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.

The rest also of the actes of Abiiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? there was also warre betweene Abiiam, and Ieroboam.

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

And Abiiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Dauid: and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade.

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

And in the twentie yeere of Ieroboam King of Israel reigned Asa ouer Iudah.

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

He reigned in Ierusalem one and fourtie yeere, and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

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

And Asa did right in the eyes of the Lord, as did Dauid his father.

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

And he tooke away the Sodomites out of the lande, and put away all the idoles 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 he put downe Maachah his mother also from her estate, because shee had made an idole in a groue: and Asa destroyed her idoles, and burnt them by the brooke Kidron.

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

But they put not downe the hie places. Neuertheles Asas heart was vpright with the Lord all his dayes.

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

Also he brought in the holy vessels of his father, and the things that he had dedicated vnto ye house of the Lord, siluer, and golde, and vessels.

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

And there was warre betweene Asa and Baasha King of Israel all their dayes.

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

Then Baasha king of Israel went vp against Iudah, and buylt Ramah, so that he woulde let none go out or in to Asa King of Iudah.

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:

Then Asa tooke all the siluer and the gold that was left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the kings house, and deliuered them into the handes of his seruantes, and King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the sonne of Tabrimon, the sonne of Hezion king of Aram that dwelt at 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.

There is a couenant betweene me and thee, and betweene my father and thy father: behold, I haue sent vnto thee a present of siluer and golde: come, breake thy couenant 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, omnem scilicet Terram Nephthali.

So Ben-hadad hearkened vnto King Asa, and sent the captaines of the hosts, which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote lion, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

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

And when Baasha heard thereof, hee left buylding 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 aedificaverat Baasa, et extruxit de eis rex Asa Gabaa Beniamin, et Maspha.

Then king Asa assembled al Iudah, none excepted. and they tooke the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had buylt, and King Asa built with them Geba of Beniamin and Mizpah.

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 all the actes of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he buylt, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? but in his olde age he was diseased in his feete.

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 citie of Dauid his father. And Iehoshaphat his sonne reigned in his steade.

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

And Nadab the sonne of Ieroboam began to reigne ouer Israel the second yere of Asa King of Iudah, and reigned ouer Israel two yeere.

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 euill in the sight of the Lord, walking in the way of his father, and in his sinne wherewith he made Israel to sinne.

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 Baasha the sonne of Ahijah of ye house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha slue him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistims: for Nadab and all Israel layde siege to Gibbethon.

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

Euen in the third yeere of Asa King of Iudah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his steade.

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 when he was King, he smote all the house of Ieroboam, he left none aliue to Ieroboam, vntill hee had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord which he spake by his seruant Ahijah the Shilonite,
