I Regum 15
1 Igitur in octavo decimo anno regni Ieroboam filii Nabat, regnavit Abias super Iudam.
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jerobo'am the son of Nebat became Abiyam king over Judah.
2 Tribus annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Maacha filia Abessalom.
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Ma'achah, 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 he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not entire with the Lord his God, like 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 the sake of David did the Lord his God give him a rule in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to allow Jerusalem to exist.
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 David did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from all that he had commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriyah the Hittite.
6 Attamen bellum fuit inter Roboam, et Ieroboam omni tempore vitae eius.
And there had been war between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am all the days of his life.
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 acts of Abiyam, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. And there was [also] war between Abiyam and Jerobo'am.
8 Et dormivit Abias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: regnavitque Asa filius eius pro eo.
And Abiyam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Assa his son became king in his stead.
9 In anno ergo vigesimo Ieroboam regis Israel regnavit Asa rex Iuda,
And in the twentieth year of Jerobo'am the king of Israel became Assa king over Judah.
10 et quadraginta et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Maacha, filia Abessalom.
And forty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Ma'achah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11 Et fecit Asa rectum ante conspectum Domini, sicut David pater eius:
And Assa did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father.
12 et abstulit effeminatos de terra, purgavitque universas sordes idolorum, quae fecerant patres eius.
And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols which 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 Ma'achah his mother, even her he removed from being queen; because she had made a scandalous image for the grove; and Assa cut down her scandalous image, 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 Assa's heart was entire 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 the things which his father had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, into the house of the Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 Bellum autem erat inter Asa, et Baasa regem Israel cunctis diebus eorum.
And there was war between Assa and Ba'sha the 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 Ba'sha the king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order not to suffer any one to go out or come in to Assa the king of Judah.
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 did Assa take all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Assa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Chesyon, the 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.
A covenant is between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go and do break thy covenant with Ba'sha the king of Israel, that he may withdraw 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 Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Assa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote 'Iyon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-ma'achah, and the whole of Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 Quod cum audisset Baasa, intermisit aedificare Rama, et reversus est in Thersa.
And it came to pass, when Ba'sha heard this, that he left off the building of Ramah, and remained 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 Assa called together by proclamation all Judah, none being exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, wherewith Ba'sha had built; and king Assa built with them Geba' of Benjamin, 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 acts of Assa, and all his mighty deeds, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. Nevertheless in the time of his old age he became 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 Assa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king 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 Jerobo'am became king over Israel in the second year of Assa the king of Judah; and he 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and he walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he had induced 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 Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Ba'sha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines: while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
28 Interfecit ergo illum Baasa in anno tertio Asa regis Iuda, et regnavit pro eo.
And Ba'sha slew him in the third year of Assa the king of Judah, and became king 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 all the house of Jerobo'am; he left not any that breathed unto Jerobo'am, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by his servant Achiyah the Shilonite;
30 propter peccata Ieroboam, quae peccaverat, et quibus peccare fecerat Israel: et propter delictum, quo irritaverat Dominum Deum Israel.
Because of the sins of Jerobo'am which he had sinned, and through which he had induced Israel to sin, by his provoking wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel to anger.
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 acts of Nadab, and all that he did, behold, they are 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 Assa and Ba'sha the king of Israel all their days.
33 Anno tertio Asa regis Iuda regnavit Baasa filius Ahiae, super omnem Israel in Thersa vigintiquattuor annis.
In the third year of Assa the king of Judah became Ba'sha the son of Achiyah king over all Israel, in Thirzah, [for] 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jerobo'am, and in his sin wherewith he had induced Israel to sin.
