Ii Regum 14
1 In anno secundo Ioas filii Ioachaz regis Israel regnavit Amasias filius Ioas regis Iuda.
In the second year of the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, Amaziah son of Joash became king of Judah.
2 Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset: viginti autem et novem annis regnavit in Ierusalem, nomen matris eius Ioadan de Ierusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
3 Et fecit rectum coram Domino, verumtamen non ut David pater eius. Iuxta omnia, quae fecit Ioas pater suus, fecit:
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. He did everything as his father Joash had done.
4 nisi hoc tantum quod excelsa non abstulit: adhuc enim populus immolabat, et adolebat incensum in excelsis.
Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away, and the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
5 Cumque obtinuisset regnum, percussit servos suos, qui interfecerant regem patrem suum:
As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
6 filios autem eorum, qui occiderant, non occidit, iuxta quod scriptum est in libro legis Moysi, sicut praecepit Dominus, dicens: Non morientur patres pro filiis, neque filii morientur pro patribus: sed unusquisque in peccato suo morietur.
Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, but acted according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
7 Ipse percussit Edom in Valle Salinarum decem millia, et apprehendit petram in praelio, vocavitque nomen eius Iectehel usque in praesentem diem.
Amaziah struck down 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He took Sela in battle and called it Joktheel, which is its name to this very day.
8 Tunc misit Amasias nuncios ad Ioas filium Ioachaz, filii Iehu regis Israel, dicens: Veni, et videamus nos.
Then Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
9 Remisitque Ioas rex Israel ad Amasiam regem Iuda, dicens: Carduus Libani misit ad cedrum, quae est in Libano, dicens: Da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem. Transieruntque bestiae saltus, quae sunt in Libano, et conculcaverunt carduum.
But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
10 Percutiens invaluisti super Edom, et sublevavit te cor tuum: contentus esto gloria, et sede in domo tua: quare provocas malum, ut cadas tu et Iudas tecum?
You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become proud. Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
11 Et non acquievit Amasias: Ascenditque Ioas rex Israel, et viderunt se, ipse et Amasias rex Iuda in Bethsames oppido Iudae.
But Amaziah would not listen, and Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
12 Percussusque est Iuda coram Israel, et fugerunt unusquisque in tabernacula sua.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his home.
13 Amasiam vero regem Iuda filium Ioas filii Ochoziae cepit Ioas rex Israel in Bethsames, et adduxit eum in Ierusalem: et interrupit murum Ierusalem, a porta Ephraim usque ad portam anguli, quadringentis cubitis.
There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
14 Tulitque omne aurum, et argentum, et universa vasa, quae inventa sunt in domo Domini, et in thesauris regis, et obsides, et reversus est in Samariam.
He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
15 Reliqua autem verborum Ioas quae fecit, et fortitudo eius qua pugnavit contra Amasiam regem Iuda, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
16 Dormivitque Ioas cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israel: et regnavit Ieroboam filius eius pro eo.
And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.
17 Vixit autem Amasias, filius Ioas, rex Iuda, postquam mortuus est Ioas filius Ioachaz regis Israel viginti quinque annis.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
18 Reliqua autem sermonum Amasiae, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?
As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
19 Factaque est contra eum coniuratio in Ierusalem: at ille fugit in Lachis. Miseruntque post eum in Lachis, et interfecerunt eum ibi.
And conspirators plotted against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
20 Et asportaverunt in equis, sepultusque est in Ierusalem cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
21 Tulit autem universus populus Iudae Azariam annos natum sedecim, et constituerunt eum regem pro patre eius Amasia.
Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
22 Ipse aedificavit Ailam, et restituit eam Iudae, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.
Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
23 Anno quintodecimo Amasiae filii Ioas regis Iuda, regnavit Ieroboam filius Ioias regis Israel in Samaria, quadraginta et uno anno:
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years.
24 et fecit quod malum est coram Domino. Non recessit ab omnibus peccatis Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
25 Ipse restituit terminos Israel ab introitu Emath, usque ad Mare solitudinis, iuxta sermonem Domini Dei Israel, quem locutus est per servum suum Ionam filium Amathi prophetam, qui erat de Geth, quae est in Opher.
This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.
26 Vidit enim Dominus afflictionem Israel amaram nimis, et quod consumpti essent usque ad clausos carcere, et extremos, et non esset qui auxiliaretur Israeli.
For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel,
27 Nec locutus est Dominus ut deleret nomen Israel de sub caelo, sed salvavit eos in manu Ieroboam filii Ioas.
and since the LORD had said that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 Reliqua autem sermonum Ieroboam, et universa quae fecit, et fortitudo eius, qua praeliatus est, et quomodo restituit Damascum, et Emath Iudae in Israel, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
29 Dormivitque Ieroboam cum patribus suis regibus Israel, et regnavit Zacharias filius eius pro eo.
And Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.
