< Ii Regum 23 >

1 Et renunciaverunt regi quod dixerat. Qui misit: et congregati sunt ad eum omnes senes Iuda et Ierusalem.
And the king sendeth, and they gather unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 Ascenditque rex templum Domini, et omnes viri Iuda, universique qui habitabant in Ierusalem cum eo sacerdotes et prophetae, et omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum: legitque cunctis audientibus omnia verba libri foederis, qui inventus est in domo Domini.
and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small unto great, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.
3 Stetitque rex super gradum: et foedus percussit coram Domino, ut ambularent post Dominum, et custodirent praecepta eius, et testimonia, et ceremonias in omni corde, et in tota anima, et suscitarent verba foederis huius, quae scripta erant in libro illo: acquievitque populus pacto.
And the king standeth by the pillar, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this book, and all the people stand in the covenant.
4 Et praecepit rex Helciae pontifici, et sacerdotibus secundi ordinis, et ianitoribus, ut proiicerent de templo Domini omnia vasa, quae facta fuerant Baal, et in luco, et universae militiae caeli: et combussit ea foris Ierusalem in Convalle cedron, et tulit pulverem eorum in Bethel.
And the king commandeth Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that are made for Baal, and for the shrine, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burneth them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and hath borne their ashes to Beth-El.
5 Et delevit aruspices, quos posuerant reges Iuda ad sacrificandum in excelsis per civitates Iuda, et in circuitu Ierusalem: et eos, qui adolebant incensum Baal, et Soli, et Lunae, et duodecim signis, et omni militiae caeli.
And he hath caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed, (and they make perfume in high places, in cities of Judah and suburbs of Jerusalem, ) and those making perfume to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of the heavens.
6 Et efferri fecit lucum de domo Domini foras Ierusalem in Convalle cedron, et combussit eum ibi, et redegit in pulverem, et proiecit super sepulchra vulgi.
And he bringeth out the shrine from the house of Jehovah to the outside of Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burneth it at the brook Kidron, and beateth it small to dust, and casteth its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.
7 Destruxit quoque aediculas effeminatorum, quae erant in domo Domini, pro quibus mulieres texebant quasi domunculas luci.
And he breaketh down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of Jehovah, where the women are weaving houses for the shrine.
8 Congregavitque omnes sacerdotes de civitatibus Iuda: et contaminavit excelsa, ubi sacrificabant sacerdotes de Gabaa usque Bersabee: et destruxit aras portarum in introitu ostii Iosue principis civitatis, quod erat ad sinistram portae civitatis.
And he bringeth in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defileth the high places where the priests have made perfume, from Geba unto Beer-Sheba, and hath broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man's left hand at the gate of the city;
9 Verumtamen non ascendebant sacerdotes excelsorum ad altare Domini in Ierusalem: sed tantum comedebant azyma in medio fratrum suorum.
only, the priests of the high places come not up unto the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brethren.
10 Contaminavit quoque Topheth, quod est in Convalle filii Ennom: ut nemo consecraret filium suum aut filiam per ignem, Moloch.
And he hath defiled Topheth, that [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no man doth cause his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.
11 Abstulit quoque equos, quos dederant reges Iuda, Soli, in introitu templi Domini iuxta exedram Nathamelech eunuchi, qui erat in Pharurim: currus autem Solis combussit igni.
And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun he hath burnt with fire.
12 Altaria quoque, quae erant super tecta coenaculi Achaz, quae fecerant reges Iuda, et altaria quae fecerat Manasses in duobus atriis templi Domini, destruxit rex: et cucurrit inde, et dispersit cinerem eorum in Torrentem cedron.
And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, hath the king broken down, and removeth thence, and hath cast their dust unto the brook Kidron.
13 Excelsa quoque, quae erant in Ierusalem ad dexteram partem Montis offensionis, quae aedificaverat Salomon rex Israel Astaroth idolo Sidoniorum, et Chamos offensioni Moab, et Melchom abominationi filiorum Ammon, polluit rex.
And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the mount of corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh abomination of Moab, and to Milcom abomination of the sons of Ammon, hath the king defiled.
14 Et contrivit statuas, et succidit lucos: replevitque loca eorum ossibus mortuorum.
And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines, and filleth their place with bones of men;
15 Insuper et altare, quod erat in Bethel, et excelsum, quod fecerat Ieroboam filius Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel: et altare illud, et excelsum destruxit, atque combussit, et comminuit in pulverem, succenditque etiam lucum.
and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he hath broken down, and doth burn the high place — he hath beat it small to dust, and hath burnt the shrine.
16 Et conversus Iosias, vidit ibi sepulchra, quae erant in monte: misitque et tulit ossa de sepulchris, et combussit ea super altare, et polluit illud iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus est vir Dei, qui praedixerat verba haec.
And Josiah turneth, and seeth the graves that [are] there in the mount, and sendeth and taketh the bones out of the graves, and burneth [them] on the altar, and defileth it, according to the word of Jehovah that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
17 Et ait: Quis est titulus ille, quem video? Responderuntque ei cives urbis illius: Sepulchrum est hominis Dei, qui venit de Iuda, et praedixit verba haec, quae fecisti super altare Bethel.
And he saith, 'What [is] this sign that I see?' and the men of the city say unto him, 'The grave of the man of God who hath come from Judah, and proclaimeth these things that thou hast done concerning the altar of Beth-El.'
18 Et ait: Dimitte eum, nemo commoveat ossa eius. Et intacta manserunt ossa illius cum ossibus prophetae, qui venerat de Samaria.
And he saith, 'Let him alone, let no man touch his bones;' and they let his bones escape, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
19 Insuper et omnia fana excelsorum, quae erant in civitatibus Samariae, quae fecerant reges Israel ad irritandum Dominum, abstulit Iosias: et fecit eis secundum omnia opera, quae fecerat in Bethel.
And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, hath Josiah turned aside, and doth to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.
20 Et occidit universos sacerdotes excelsorum, qui erant ibi super altaria: et combussit ossa humana super ea: reversusque est Ierusalem.
And he slayeth all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burneth the bones of man upon them, and turneth back to Jerusalem.
21 Et praecepit omni populo, dicens: Facite Phase Domino Deo vestro, secundum quod scriptum est in libro foederis huius.
And the king commandeth the whole of the people, saying, 'Make ye a passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written on this book of the covenant.'
22 Nec enim factum est Phase tale a diebus iudicum, qui iudicaverunt Israel, et omnium dierum regum Israel, et regum Iuda,
Surely there hath not been made like this passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;
23 sicut in octavo decimo anno regis Iosiae factum est Phase istud Domino in Ierusalem.
but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, hath this passover been made to Jehovah in Jerusalem.
24 Sed et pythones, et ariolos, et figuras idolorum, et immunditias, et abominationes, quae fuerant in terra Iuda et Ierusalem, abstulit Iosias: ut statueret verba legis, quae scripta sunt in Libro, quem invenit Helcias sacerdos in templo Domini.
And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, hath Josiah put away, in order to establish the words of the law that are written on the book that Hilkiah the priest hath found in the house of Jehovah.
25 Similis illi non fuit ante eum rex, qui reverteretur ad Dominum in omni corde suo, et in tota anima sua, et in universa virtute sua iuxta omnem legem Moysi: neque post eum surrexit similis illi.
And like him there hath not been before him a king who turned back unto Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, and after him there hath none risen like him.
26 Verumtamen non est aversus Dominus ab ira furoris sui magni, quo iratus est furor eius contra Iudam: propter irritationes, quibus provocaverat eum Manasses.
Only, Jehovah hath not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,
27 Dixit itaque Dominus: Etiam Iudam auferam a facie mea, sicut abstuli Israel: et proiiciam civitatem hanc, quam elegi Ierusalem, et domum, de qua dixi: Erit nomen meum ibi.
and Jehovah saith, 'Also Judah I turn aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen — Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name is there.'
28 Reliqua autem sermonum Iosiae, et universa quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda?
And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 In diebus eius ascendit Pharao Nechao rex Aegypti, contra regem Assyriorum ad flumen Euphraten: et abiit Iosias rex in occursum eius: et occisus est in Mageddo, cum vidisset eum.
In his days hath Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt come up against the king of Asshur, by the river Phrat, and king Josiah goeth out to meet him, and he putteth him to death in Megiddo, when he seeth him.
30 Et portaverunt eum servi sui mortuum de Mageddo: et pertulerunt in Ierusalem, et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro suo. Tulitque populus terrae Ioachaz filium Iosiae: et unxerunt eum, et constituerunt eum regem pro patre suo.
And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him in to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.
31 Viginti trium annorum erat Ioachaz cum regnare coepisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Amital, filia Ieremiae, de Lobna.
A son of twenty and three years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
32 Et fecit malum coram Domino, iuxta omnia quae fecerant patres eius.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did,
33 Vinxitque eum Pharao Nechao in Reblath, quae est in terra Emath, ne regnaret in Ierusalem: et imposuit mulctam terrae centum talentis argenti, et talento auri.
and Pharaoh-Nechoh bindeth him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he putteth a fine on the land — a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 Regemque constituit Pharao Nechao Eliacim filium Iosiae pro Iosia patre eius: vertitque nomen eius Ioakim. porro Ioachaz tulit, et duxit in Aegyptum.
And Pharaoh-Nechoh causeth Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of Josiah his father, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz he hath taken away, and he cometh in to Egypt, and dieth there.
35 Argentum autem, et aurum dedit Ioakim Pharaoni cum indixisset terrae per singulos, ut conferretur iuxta praeceptum Pharaonis: et unumquemque iuxta vires suas exegit, tam argentum quam aurum de populo terrae: ut daret Pharaoni Nechao.
And the silver and the gold hath Jehoiakim given to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh-Nechoh.
36 Vigintiquinque annorum erat Ioakim cum regnare coepisset: et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Zebida filia Phadaia de Ruma.
A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,
37 Et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia, quae fecerant patres eius.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.
