I Regum 16

1 Factus est autem sermo Domini ad Iehu filium Hanani contra Baasa, dicens:

And a word of Jehovah is unto Jehu 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 that I have raised thee up out of the dust, and appoint thee leader over My people Israel, and thou walkest in the way of Jeroboam, and causest 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.

lo, I am putting away the posterity of Baasha, even the posterity of his house, and have given up thy house as the house of Jeroboam 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.

him who dieth of Baasha in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth of his in a field do fowl of the heavens eat.'

5 Reliqua autem sermonum Baasa, et quaecumque fecit, et praelia eius, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

And the rest of the matters of Baasha, and that which he did, and his might, are they not written on 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.

And Baasha lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son reigneth in his stead.

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.

And also by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani the prophet a word of Jehovah hath been concerning Baasha, and concerning his house, and concerning all the evil that he did in the eyes of Jehovah to provoke Him to anger with the work of his hands, to be like the house of Jeroboam, and concerning that for which he smote him.

8 Anno vigesimo sexto Asa regis Iuda, regnavit Ela filius Baasa super Israel in Thersa duobus annis.

In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Elah son of Baasha over Israel in Tirzah, 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.

and conspire against him doth his servant Zimri (head of the half of the chariots) and he [is] in Tirzah drinking — a drunkard in the house of Arza, who [is] over the house in Tirzah.

10 Irruens ergo Zambri, percussit, et occidit eum anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Iuda, et regnavit pro eo.

And Zimri cometh in and smiteth him, and putteth him to death, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigneth in his stead;

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.

and it cometh to pass in his reigning, at his sitting on his throne, he hath smitten the whole house of Baasha; he hath not left to him any sitting on the wall, and of his redeemers, and of his friends.

12 Delevitque Zambri omnem domum Baasa, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat ad Baasa in manu Iehu prophetae,

And Zimri destroyeth the whole house of Baasha, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake concerning Baasha, by the hand of 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.

concerning all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, that they sinned, and that they caused Israel to sin to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, with their vanities.

14 Reliqua autem sermonum Ela, et omnia quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

And the rest of the matters of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written on 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 and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, reigned hath Zimri seven days in Tirzah; and the people are encamping against Gibbethon, which [is] 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.

and the people who are encamping hear, saying, 'Zimri hath conspired, and also hath smitten the king;' and all Israel cause Omri head of the host to reign over Israel on that day in the camp.

17 Ascendit ergo Amri, et omnis Israel cum eo de Gebbethon, et obsidebant Thersa.

And Omri goeth up, and all Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they lay siege to Tirzah.

18 Videns autem Zambri quod expugnanda esset civitas, ingressus est palatium, et succendit se cum domo regia: et mortuus est

And it cometh to pass, at Zimri's seeing that the city hath been captured, that he cometh in unto a high place of the house of the king, and burneth over him the house of the king with fire, and dieth,

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 that he sinned, to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to walk in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he did, to cause Israel to sin;

20 Reliqua autem sermonum Zambri, et insidiarum eius, et tyrannidis, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

and the rest of the matters of Zimri, and his conspiracy that he made, are they not written on 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 are the sons of Israel parted into halves; half of the people hath been after Tibni son of Ginath to cause him to reign, and the half after Omri;

22 Praevaluit autem populus, qui erat cum Amri, populo qui sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth: mortuusque est Thebni, et regnavit Amri.

and stronger are the people that are after Omri than the people that are after Tibni son of Ginath, and Tibni dieth, and Omri reigneth.

23 Anno trigesimo primo Asa regis Iuda regnavit Amri super Israel, duodecim annis: in Thersa regnavit sex annis.

In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Omri over Israel twelve years; in Tirzah he hath reigned six years,

24 Emitque montem Samariae a Somer duobus talentis argenti: et aedificavit eum, et vocavit nomen civitatis, quam extruxerat, nomine Semer Domini montis Samariae.

and he buyeth the mount Samaria from Shemer, with two talents of silver, and buildeth [on] the mount, and calleth the name of the city that he hath built by the name of Shemer, lord of the hill — Samaria.

25 Fecit autem Amri malum in conspectu Domini, et operatus est nequiter super omnes, qui fuerunt ante eum.

And Omri doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and doth evil above all who [are] 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.

and walketh in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, with their vanities.

27 Reliqua autem sermonum Amri, et praelia eius, quae gessit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

And the rest of the matters of Omri that he did, and his might that he got, are they not written on 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.

And Omri lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigneth in his stead.

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.

And Ahab son of Omri hath reigned over Israel in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab son of Omri reigneth over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years,

30 Et fecit Achab filius Amri malum in conspectu Domini super omnes, qui fuerunt ante eum.

and Ahab son of Omri doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah above all who [are] 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.

And it cometh to pass — hath it been light his walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat? — then he taketh a wife, Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and goeth and serveth Baal, and boweth himself to it,

32 Et posuit aram Baal in templo Baal, quod aedificaverat in Samaria,

and raiseth up an altar for Baal, in the house of the Baal, that he 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.

and Ahab maketh the shrine, and Ahab addeth to do so as to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, above all the kings of Israel who have been 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 hath Hiel the Beth-Elite built Jericho; in Abiram his first-born he laid its foundation, and in Segub his youngest he set up its doors, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by the hand of Joshua son of Nun.
