Ii Regum 8
1 Eliseus autem locutus est ad mulierem, cuius vivere fecerat filium, dicens: Surge, vade tu et domus tua, et peregrinare ubicumque repereris: vocavit enim Dominus famem, et veniet super terram septem annis.
Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life. He said to her, “Arise, and go with your household, and stay wherever you can in another land, because Yahweh has called for a famine which will come on this land for seven years.”
2 Quae surrexit, et fecit iuxta verbum hominis Dei: et vadens cum domo sua, peregrinata est in Terra Philisthiim diebus multis.
So the woman arose and she obeyed the word of the man of God. She went with her household and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 Cumque finiti essent anni septem, reversa est mulier de Terra Philisthiim: et egressa est ut interpellaret regem pro domo sua, et pro agris suis.
It came about at the end of seven years that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, and she went to the king to beg him for her house and for her land.
4 Rex autem loquebatur cum Giezi puero viri Dei, dicens: Narra mihi omnia magnalia quae fecit Eliseus.
Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 Cumque ille narraret regi quo modo mortuum suscitasset, apparuit mulier, cuius vivificaverat filium, clamans ad regem pro domo sua, et pro agris suis. Dixitque Giezi: Domine mi rex, haec est mulier, et hic est filius eius, quem suscitavit Eliseus.
Then as he was telling the king how Elisha had restored to life the child who was dead, the very woman whose son he had restored to life came to beg the king for her house and land. Gehazi said, “My master, king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
6 Et interrogavit rex mulierem: quae narravit ei. Deditque ei rex eunuchum unum, dicens: Restitue ei omnia quae sua sunt, et universos reditus agrorum a die, qua reliquit terram usque ad praesens.
When the king asked the woman about her son, she explained it to him. So the king ordered a certain officer for her, saying, “Give back to her all that was hers and all the harvests of her fields since the day that she left the land until now.”
7 Venit quoque Eliseus Damascum, et Benadad rex Syriae aegrotabat: nunciaveruntque ei, dicentes: Venit vir Dei huc.
Elisha came to Damascus where Ben Hadad the king of Aram was sick. The king was told, “The man of God has come here.”
8 Et ait rex ad Hazael: Tolle tecum munera, et vade in occursum viri Dei, et consule Dominum per eum, dicens: Si evadere potero de infirmitate mea hac?
The king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand and go meet the man of God, and consult with Yahweh through him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'”
9 Ivit igitur Hazael in occursum eius, habens secum munera, et omnia bona Damasci, onera quadraginta camelorum. Cumque stetisset coram eo, ait: Filius tuus Benadad rex Syriae misit me ad te, dicens: Si sanari potero de infirmitate mea hac?
So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift with him of every kind of good thing of Damascus, carried by forty camels. So Hazael came and stood before Elisha and said, “Your son Ben Hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'”
10 Dixitque ei Eliseus: Vade, dic ei: Sanaberis: porro ostendit mihi Dominus quia morte morietur.
Elisha said to him, “Go, say to Ben Hadad, 'You will surely recover,' but Yahweh has shown me that he will surely die.”
11 Stetique cum eo, et conturbatus est usque ad suffusionem vultus: flevitque vir Dei.
Then Elisha stared at Hazael until he was ashamed, and the man of God wept.
12 Cui Hazael ait: Quare dominus meus flet? At ille dixit: Quia scio quae facturus sis filiis Israel mala. Civitates eorum munitas igne succendes, et iuvenes eorum interficies gladio, et parvulos eorum elides, et praegnantes divides.
Hazael asked, “Why do you weep, my master?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the people of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, dash in pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”
13 Dixitque Hazael: Quid enim sum servus tuus canis, ut faciam rem istam magnam? Et ait Eliseus: Ostendit mihi Dominus te regem Syriae fore.
Hazael replied, “Who is your servant, that he should do this great thing? He is only a dog.” Elisha answered, “Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”
14 Qui cum recessisset ab Eliseo, venit ad dominum suum. Qui ait ei: Quid dixit tibi Eliseus? At ille respondit: Dixit mihi: Recipies sanitatem.
Then Hazael left Elisha and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
15 Cumque venisset dies altera, tulit stragulum, et infudit aquam, et expandit super faciem eius: quo mortuo, regnavit Hazael pro eo.
Then the next day Hazael took the blanket and dipped it in water, and spread it on Ben Hadad's face so that he died. Then Hazael became king in his place.
16 Anno quinto Ioram filii Achab regis Israel, et Iosaphat regis Iuda, regnavit Ioram filius Iosaphat rex Iuda.
In the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram began to reign. He was the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. He began to reign when Jehoshaphat was king of Judah.
17 Triginta duorum annorum erat cum regnare coepisset, et octo annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Ambulavitque in viis regum Israel, sicut ambulaverat domus Achab: filia enim Achab erat uxor eius: et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini.
Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab was doing; for he had Ahab's daughter as his wife, and he did what was evil in Yahweh's sight.
19 Noluit autem Dominus disperdere Iudam, propter David servum suum, sicut promiserat ei, ut daret illi lucernam, et filiis eius cunctis diebus.
However, because of his servant David, Yahweh did not want to destroy Judah, since he had told him that he would always give him descendants.
20 In diebus eius recessit Edom, ne esset sub Iuda, et constituit sibi regem.
In Jehoram's days, Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
21 Venitque Ioram Seira, et omnes currus cum eo: et surrexit nocte, percussitque Idumaeos, qui eum circumdederant, et principes curruum, populus autem fugit in tabernacula sua.
Then Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded Jehoram, his chariot commanders rose up and attacked them during the night; but Jehoram's army ran away and went back to their homes.
22 Recessit ergo Edom ne esset sub Iuda, usque ad diem hanc. Tunc recessit et Lobna in tempore illo.
So Edom has been in rebellion against the rule of Judah to this present day. Libnah also revolted at the same time.
23 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioram, et universa, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda?
As for the other matters concerning Jehoram, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
24 Et dormivit Ioram cum patribus suis, sepultusque est cum eis in Civitate David, et regnavit Ochozias filius eius pro eo.
Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of David. Then Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
25 Anno duodecimo Ioram filii Achab regis Israel regnavit Ochozias filius Ioram regis Iudae.
In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign.
26 Viginti duorum annorum erat Ochozias cum regnare coepisset, et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Athalia filia Amri regis Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah; she was the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 Et ambulavit in viis domus Achab: et fecit quod malum est coram Domino, sicut domus Achab: gener enim domus Achab fuit.
Ahaziah walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as the house of Ahab was doing, for Ahaziah was a son-in-law to the house of Ahab.
28 Abiit quoque cum Ioram filio Achab, ad praeliandum contra Hazael regem Syriae in Ramoth Galaad, et vulneraverunt Syri Ioram:
Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth Gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram.
29 qui reversus est ut curaretur, in Iezrahel: quia vulneraverant eum Syri in Ramoth praeliantem contra Hazael regem Syriae. Porro Ochozias filius Ioram rex Iuda, descendit invisere Ioram filium Achab in Iezrahel, quia aegrotabat ibi.
King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds that the Arameans had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
