I Regum 15

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

And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam son of Nebat, reigned hath Abijam over Judah;

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

three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah 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 walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah 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:

but for David's sake hath Jehovah his God given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise 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.

in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from all that He commanded him all days of his life — only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;

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

and war hath been between Rehoboam 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.

And the rest of the matters of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And war hath been between Abijam and Jeroboam;

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

and Abijam lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead.

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

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned hath Asa over Judah,

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

and forty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.

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

And Asa doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, like David his father,

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

and removeth the whoremongers out of the land, and turneth aside all the idols that his fathers 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 Maachah his mother — he turneth her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for a shrine, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron;

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

and the high places have not turned aside; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect with Jehovah all his days,

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

and he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of Jehovah, silver, and gold, and vessels.

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

And war hath been 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.

and Baasha king of Israel goeth up against Judah, and buildeth Ramah, not to permit any one going out and coming 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:

And Asa taketh all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and giveth them into the hand of his servants, and king Asa sendeth them unto Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling 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, between my father and thy father; lo, I have sent to thee a reward of silver and gold; go, break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goeth up from off 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 hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the heads of the forces that he hath against cities of Israel, and smiteth Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali;

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

and it cometh to pass at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth from building Ramah, and dwelleth 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.

And king Asa hath summoned all Judah — there is none exempt — and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha hath built, and king Asa buildeth 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 matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, at 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 lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoshaphat his son reigneth in his stead.

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

And Nadab son of Jeroboam hath reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigneth 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth in the way of his father, and in his sin that 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.

And conspire against him doth Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, and Baasha smiteth him in Gibbethon, which [is] to the Philistines — and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon —

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

yea, Baasha putteth him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigneth 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 cometh to pass, at his reigning, he hath smitten the whole house of Jeroboam, he hath not left any breathing to Jeroboam till his destroying him, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah 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 Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked to anger Jehovah, 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 matters of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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

And war hath been 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 reigned hath Baasha son of Ahijah over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years,

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

and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.
