Ii Regum 13

1 Anno vigesimo tertio Ioas filii Ochoziae regis Iuda, regnavit Ioachaz filius Iehu super Israel in Samaria decem et septem annis.

In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Achazyahu the king of Judah became Jehoachaz the son of Jehu king over Israel in Samaria [for] seventeen years.

2 Et fecit malum coram Domino, secutusque est peccata Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel, et non declinavit ab eis.

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: he departed not therefrom.

3 Iratusque est furor Domini contra Israel, et tradidit eos in manu Hazael regis Syriae, et in manu Benadad filii Hazael cunctis diebus.

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he gave them up into the hand of Chazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, all the time.

4 Deprecatus est autem Ioachaz faciem Domini, et audivit eum Dominus: vidit enim angustiam Israel, quia attriverat eos rex Syriae:

And Jehoachaz besought the Lord; and the Lord hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.

5 et dedit Dominus salvatorem Israeli, et liberatus est de manu regis Syriae: habitaveruntque filii Israel in tabernaculis suis sicut heri et nudiustertius.

(And the Lord gave Israel a deliverer, so that they came out from under the power of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times past.

6 Verumtamen non recesserunt a peccatis domus Ieroboam, qui peccare fecit Israel, sed in ipsis ambulaverunt: siquidem et lucus permansit in Samaria.

Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin, therein the people walked: and the Asherah also remained standing in Samaria.)

7 Et non sunt derelicti Ioachaz de populo nisi quinquaginta equites, et decem currus, et decem millia peditum: interfecerat enim eos rex Syriae, et redegerat quasi pulverem in tritura areae.

For he had left of people to Jehoachaz none but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand men on foot; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust at threshing.

8 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioachaz, et universa quae fecit, et fortitudo eius, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

9 Dormivitque Ioachaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Samaria: regnavitque Ioas filius eius pro eo.

And Jehoachaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son became king in his stead.

10 Anno trigesimo septimo Ioas regis Iuda regnavit Ioas filius Ioachaz super Israel in Samaria sedecim annis,

In the thirty and seventh year of Joash the king of Judah became Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz king over Israel in Samaria, [for] sixteen years.

11 et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini: non declinavit ab omnibus peccatis Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel, sed in ipsis ambulavit.

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: therein he walked.

12 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioas, et universa quae fecit, et fortitudo eius, quo modo pugnaverit contra Amasiam regem Iuda, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?

And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds wherewith he fought against Amazyah the king of Judah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

13 Et dormivit Ioas cum patribus suis: Ieroboam autem sedit super solium eius. Porro Ioas sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israel.

And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jerobo'am sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14 Eliseus autem aegrotabat infirmitate, qua et mortuus est: descenditque ad eum Ioas rex Israel, et flebat coram eo, dicebatque: Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israel et auriga eius.

Now Elisha' was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he had to die. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen.

15 Et ait illi Eliseus: Affer arcum, et sagittas. Cumque attulisset ad eum arcum, et sagittas,

And Elisha' said unto him, Fetch a bow and arrows. And he fetched unto him a bow and arrows.

16 dixit ad regem Israel: Pone manum tuam super arcum. Et cum posuisset ille manum suam, superposuit Eliseus manus suas manibus regis,

And he said to the king of Israel, Place thy hand upon the bow. And he placed his hand [upon it]: and Elisha' laid his hands upon the king's hands.

17 et ait: Aperi fenestram orientalem. Cumque aperuisset, dixit Eliseus: Iace sagittam. Et iecit. Et ait Eliseus: Sagitta salutis Domini, et sagitta salutis contra Syriam: percutiesque Syriam in Aphec, donec consumas eam.

And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha', Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of victory from the Lord, and the arrow of victory over Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till they be consumed.

18 Et ait: Tolle sagittas. Qui cum tulisset, rursum dixit ei: Percute iaculo terram. Et cum percussisset tribus vicibus, et stetisset,

And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he struck three times, and stopped.

19 iratus est vir Dei contra eum, et ait: Si percussisses quinquies, aut sexies, sive septies, percussisses Syriam usque ad consumptionem: nunc autem tribus vicibus percuties eam.

And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou shouldst have struck five or six times; then wouldst thou have smitten the Syrians till they had been consumed: whereas now thou shalt smite the Syrians three times.

20 Mortuus est ergo Eliseus, et sepelierunt eum. Latrunculi autem de Moab venerunt in terram in ipso anno.

And Elisha' died, and they buried him. And the predatory bands of Moabites frequently invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

21 Quidam autem sepelientes hominem, viderunt latrunculos, et proiecerunt cadaver in sepulchro Elisei. Quod cum tetigisset ossa Elisei, revixit homo, et stetit super pedes suos.

And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they saw the band; and they cast down the man into the sepulchre of Elisha': and as the man came, and touched the bones of Elisha', he revived, and rose up on his feet.

22 Igitur Hazael rex Syriae afflixit Israel cunctis diebus Ioachaz:

But Chazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoachaz.

23 et misertus est Dominus eorum, et reversus est ad eos propter pactum suum, quod habebat cum Abraham, et Isaac, et Iacob: et noluit disperdere eos, neque proiicere penitus usque in praesens tempus.

And the Lord became gracious unto them, and had mercy on them, and turned his regard unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he cast them not off from his presence even until now.

24 Mortuus est autem Hazael rex Syriae, et regnavit Benadad filius eius pro eo.

And Chazael the king of Syria died: and Ben-hadad his son became king in his stead.

25 Porro Ioas filius Ioachaz tulit urbes de manu Benadad filii Hazael, quas tulerat de manu Ioachaz patris sui iure praelii, tribus vicibus percussit eum Ioas, et reddidit civitates Israel.

And Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz took again the cities out of the power of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, which he had taken out of the power of Jehoachaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
