I Regum 16
1 Factus est autem sermo Domini ad Iehu filium Hanani contra Baasa, dicens:
The word of YHWH came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2 Pro eo quod exaltavi te de pulvere, et posui te ducem super populum meum Israel, tu autem ambulasti in via Ieroboam, et peccare fecisti populum meum Israel, ut me irritares in peccatis eorum:
"Because I exalted you out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
3 ecce, ego demetam posteriora Baasa, et posteriora domus eius: et faciam domum tuam sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat.
look, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4 Qui mortuus fuerit de Baasa in civitate, comedent eum canes: et qui mortuus fuerit ex eo in regione, comedent eum volucres caeli.
The dogs will eat Baasha's descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field the birds of the sky will eat."
5 Reliqua autem sermonum Baasa, et quaecumque fecit, et praelia eius, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6 Dormivit ergo Baasa cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in Thersa: et regnavit Ela filius eius pro eo.
Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.
7 Cum autem in manu Iehu filii Hanani prophetae verbum Domini factum esset contra Baasa, et contra domum eius, et contra omne malum, quod fecerat coram Domino, ad irritandum eum in operibus manuum suarum, ut fieret sicut domus Ieroboam: ob hanc causam occidit eum, hoc est, Iehu filium Hanani, prophetam.
Moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of YHWH against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of YHWH, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
8 Anno vigesimo sexto Asa regis Iuda, regnavit Ela filius Baasa super Israel in Thersa duobus annis.
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.
9 Et rebellavit contra eum servus suus Zambri, dux mediae partis equitum: erat autem Ela in Thersa bibens, et temulentus in domo Arsa praefecti Thersa.
His servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.
10 Irruens ergo Zambri, percussit, et occidit eum anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Iuda, et regnavit pro eo.
And Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
11 Cumque regnasset, et sedisset super solium eius, percussit omnem domum Baasa, et non dereliquit ex ea mingentem ad parietem, et propinquos et amicos eius.
It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he did not leave him a single one who urinates on a wall, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.
12 Delevitque Zambri omnem domum Baasa, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat ad Baasa in manu Iehu prophetae,
Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
13 propter universa peccata Baasa, et peccata Ela filii eius, qui peccaverunt, et peccare fecerunt Israel provocantes Dominum Deum Israel in vanitatibus suis.
for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke YHWH, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
14 Reliqua autem sermonum Ela, et omnia quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15 Anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Iuda, regnavit Zambri septem diebus in Thersa: porro exercitus obsidebat Gebbethon urbem Philisthinorum.
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16 Cumque audisset rebellasse Zambri, et occidisse regem, fecit sibi regem omnis Israel Amri, qui erat princeps militiae super Israel in die illa in castris.
The people who were camped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king." Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
17 Ascendit ergo Amri, et omnis Israel cum eo de Gebbethon, et obsidebant Thersa.
Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18 Videns autem Zambri quod expugnanda esset civitas, ingressus est palatium, et succendit se cum domo regia: et mortuus est
It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,
19 in peccatis suis, quae peccaverat faciens malum coram Domino, et ambulans in via Ieroboam, et in peccato eius, quo fecit peccare Israel.
for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
20 Reliqua autem sermonum Zambri, et insidiarum eius, et tyrannidis, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
21 Tunc divisus est populus Israel in duas partes: media pars populi sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth, ut constitueret eum regem: et media pars Amri.
Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
22 Praevaluit autem populus, qui erat cum Amri, populo qui sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth: mortuusque est Thebni, et regnavit Amri.
But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Joram his brother at that time, and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.
23 Anno trigesimo primo Asa regis Iuda regnavit Amri super Israel, duodecim annis: in Thersa regnavit sex annis.
In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.
24 Emitque montem Samariae a Somer duobus talentis argenti: et aedificavit eum, et vocavit nomen civitatis, quam extruxerat, nomine Semer Domini montis Samariae.
He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.
25 Fecit autem Amri malum in conspectu Domini, et operatus est nequiter super omnes, qui fuerunt ante eum.
Omri did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.
26 Ambulavitque in omni via Ieroboam filii Nabat, et in peccatis eius quibus peccare fecerat Israel: ut irritaret Dominum Deum Israel in vanitatibus suis.
For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke YHWH, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
27 Reliqua autem sermonum Amri, et praelia eius, quae gessit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28 Dormivitque Amri cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in Samaria: regnavitque Achab filius eius pro eo.
So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.
29 Achab vero filius Amri regnavit super Israel anno trigesimo octavo Asa regis Iuda. Et regnavit Achab filius Amri super Israel in Samaria viginti et duobus annis.
In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
30 Et fecit Achab filius Amri malum in conspectu Domini super omnes, qui fuerunt ante eum.
Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH above all that were before him.
31 Nec suffecit ei ut ambularet in peccatis Ieroboam, filii Nabat: insuper duxit uxorem Iezabel filiam Ethbaal regis Sidoniorum. Et abiit, et servivit Baal, et adoravit eum.
It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.
32 Et posuit aram Baal in templo Baal, quod aedificaverat in Samaria,
He reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
33 et plantavit lucum: et addidit Achab in opere suo, irritans Dominum Deum Israel super omnes reges Israel, qui fuerunt ante eum.
Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke YHWH, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
34 In diebus eius aedificavit Hiel de Bethel, Iericho: in Abiram primitivo suo fundavit eam, et in Segub novissimo suo posuit portas eius: iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu Iosue filii Nun.
In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho: he laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
