I Regum 14
1 in tempore illo aegrotavit Abia filius Hieroboam
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
2 dixitque Hieroboam uxori suae surge et commuta habitum ne cognoscaris quod sis uxor Hieroboam et vade in Silo ubi est Ahia propheta qui locutus est mihi quod regnaturus essem super populum hunc
Jeroboam said to his wife, "Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Look, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.
3 tolle quoque in manu tua decem panes et crustula et vas mellis et vade ad illum ipse indicabit tibi quid eventurum sit huic puero
Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child."
4 fecit ut dixerat uxor Hieroboam et consurgens abiit in Silo et venit in domum Ahia at ille non poterat videre quia caligaverant oculi eius prae senectute
Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
5 dixit autem Dominus ad Ahiam ecce uxor Hieroboam ingreditur ut consulat te super filio suo qui aegrotat haec et haec loqueris ei cum ergo illa intraret et dissimularet se esse quae erat
YHWH said to Ahijah, "Look, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman."
6 audivit Ahias sonitum pedum eius introeuntis per ostium et ait ingredere uxor Hieroboam quare aliam esse te simulas ego autem missus sum ad te durus nuntius
It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, "Come in, you wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
7 vade et dic Hieroboam haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel quia exaltavi te de medio populi et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israhel
Go, tell Jeroboam, 'Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: "Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,
8 et scidi regnum domus David et dedi illud tibi et non fuisti sicut servus meus David qui custodivit mandata mea et secutus est me in toto corde suo faciens quod placitum esset in conspectu meo
and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,
9 sed operatus es male super omnes qui fuerunt ante te et fecisti tibi deos alienos et conflatiles ut me ad iracundiam provocares me autem proiecisti post corpus tuum
but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:
10 idcirco ecce ego inducam mala super domum Hieroboam et percutiam de Hieroboam mingentem ad parietem et clausum et novissimum in Israhel et mundabo reliquias domus Hieroboam sicut mundari solet fimus usque ad purum
therefore, look, I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.
11 qui mortui fuerint de Hieroboam in civitate comedent eos canes qui autem mortui fuerint in agro vorabunt eos aves caeli quia Dominus locutus est
He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for YHWH has spoken it."'
12 tu igitur surge et vade in domum tuam et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem morietur puer
Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13 et planget eum omnis Israhel et sepeliet iste enim solus infertur de Hieroboam in sepulchrum quia inventus est super eo sermo bonus ad Dominum Deum Israhel in domo Hieroboam
All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward YHWH, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israhel qui percutiat domum Hieroboam in hac die et in hoc tempore
Moreover YHWH will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day. What? Even now.
15 et percutiet Dominus Israhel sicut moveri solet harundo in aqua et evellet Israhel de terra bona hac quam dedit patribus eorum et ventilabit eos trans Flumen quia fecerunt sibi lucos ut inritarent Dominum
For YHWH will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking YHWH to anger.
16 et tradet Dominus Israhel propter peccata Hieroboam qui peccavit et peccare fecit Israhel
He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin."
17 surrexit itaque uxor Hieroboam et abiit et venit in Thersa cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus puer mortuus est
Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
18 et sepelierunt eum et planxit illum omnis Israhel iuxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiae prophetae
All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 reliqua autem verborum Hieroboam quomodo pugnaverit et quomodo regnaverit ecce scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel
The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, look, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20 dies autem quibus regnavit Hieroboam viginti duo anni sunt et dormivit cum patribus suis regnavitque Nadab filius eius pro eo
The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
21 porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Iuda quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam cum regnare coepisset et decem et septem annis regnavit in Hierusalem civitatem quam elegit Dominus ut poneret nomen suum ibi ex omnibus tribubus Israhel nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanites
Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which YHWH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
22 et fecit Iudas malum coram Domino et inritaverunt eum super omnibus quae fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis quae peccaverant
Judah did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23 aedificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi aras et statuas et lucos super omnem collem excelsum et subter omnem arborem frondosam
For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
24 sed et effeminati fuerunt in terra feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium quas adtrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israhel
and there were also male shrine prostitutes in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which YHWH drove out before the children of Israel.
25 in quinto autem anno regni Roboam ascendit Sesac rex Aegypti in Hierusalem
It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
26 et tulit thesauros domus Domini et thesauros regios et universa diripuit scuta quoque aurea quae fecerat Salomon
and he took away the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
27 pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta aerea et tradidit ea in manu ducum scutariorum et eorum qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis
King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
28 cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini portabant ea qui praeeundi habebant officium et postea reportabant ad armamentarium scutariorum
It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of YHWH, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
29 reliqua autem sermonum Roboam et omnium quae fecit ecce scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda
Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30 fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Hieroboam cunctis diebus
There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
31 dormivit itaque Roboam cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanites et regnavit Abiam filius eius pro eo
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
