I Regum 15

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

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

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

He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah 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.

He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD 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, the LORD his God gave 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, quae praeceperat ei cunctis diebus vitae suae, excepto sermone Uriae Hethaei.

because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hethite.

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

[Now there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam 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.

The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

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

Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the City of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.

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

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

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

He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

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

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

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

And he banished the male temple prostitutes 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:

Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.

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

But the high places were not taken away: 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.

He brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

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

There was war between Asa and Baasha 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.

Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone 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 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 took 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 delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived 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.

"Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty 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.

Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Kinnereth, with all the land of Naphtali.

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

It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived 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 made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith 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.

Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But 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.

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 place.

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

Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa 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.

He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made 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.

Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying 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, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.

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,

It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam: he did not leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

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

for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which 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?

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

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

There was war between Asa and Baasha 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 Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.

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

He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
