I Regum 15

1 igitur in octavodecimo anno regni Hieroboam filii Nabath regnavit Abiam super Iudam

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jerobo'am the son of Nebat became Abiyam king over Judah.

2 tribus annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Maacha filia Absalom

Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Ma'achah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3 ambulavitque in omnibus peccatis patris sui quae fecerat ante eum nec erat cor eius perfectum cum Domino Deo suo sicut cor David patris eius

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not entire with the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.

4 sed propter David dedit ei Dominus Deus suus lucernam in Hierusalem ut suscitaret filium eius post eum et staret Hierusalem

Nevertheless for the sake of David did the Lord his God give him a rule in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to allow Jerusalem to exist.

5 eo quod fecisset David rectum in oculis Domini et non declinasset ab omnibus quae praeceperat ei cunctis diebus vitae suae excepto sermone Uriae Hetthei

Because David did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from all that he had commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriyah the Hittite.

6 attamen bellum fuit inter Roboam et inter Hieroboam omni tempore vitae eius

And there had been war between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am all the days of his life.

7 reliqua autem sermonum Abiam et omnia quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda fuitque proelium inter Abiam et inter Hieroboam

And the rest of the acts of Abiyam, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. And there was [also] war between Abiyam and Jerobo'am.

8 et dormivit Abiam cum patribus suis et sepelierunt eum in civitate David regnavitque Asa filius eius pro eo

And Abiyam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Assa his son became king in his stead.

9 in anno ergo vicesimo Hieroboam regis Israhel regnavit Asa rex Iuda

And in the twentieth year of Jerobo'am the king of Israel became Assa king over Judah.

10 et quadraginta uno anno regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Maacha filia Absalom

And forty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Ma'achah, the daughter of Abishalom.

11 et fecit Asa rectum ante conspectum Domini sicut David pater eius

And Assa did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father.

12 et abstulit effeminatos de terra purgavitque universas sordes idolorum quae fecerant patres eius

And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols which his fathers had made.

13 insuper et Maacham matrem suam amovit ne esset princeps in sacris Priapi et in luco eius quem consecraverat subvertitque specum eius et confregit simulacrum turpissimum et conbusit in torrente Cedron

And also Ma'achah his mother, even her he removed from being queen; because she had made a scandalous image for the grove; and Assa cut down her scandalous image, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

14 excelsa autem non abstulit verumtamen cor Asa perfectum erat cum Deo cunctis diebus suis

But the high-places were not removed; nevertheless Assa's heart was entire with the Lord all his days.

15 et intulit ea quae sanctificaverat pater suus et voverat in domum Domini argentum et aurum et vasa

And he brought the things which his father had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, into the house of the Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels.

16 bellum autem erat inter Asa et Baasa regem Israhel cunctis diebus eorum

And there was war between Assa and Ba'sha the king of Israel all their days.

17 ascendit quoque Baasa rex Israhel in Iudam et aedificavit Rama ut non possit quispiam egredi vel ingredi de parte Asa regis Iudae

And Ba'sha the king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order not to suffer any one to go out or come in to Assa the king of Judah.

18 tollens itaque Asa omne argentum et aurum quod remanserat in thesauris domus Domini et in thesauris domus regiae dedit illud in manu servorum suorum et misit ad Benadad filium Tabremmon filii Ezion regem Syriae qui habitabat in Damasco dicens

Then did Assa take all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Assa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Chesyon, the king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

19 foedus est inter me et te et inter patrem meum et patrem tuum ideo misi tibi munera argentum et aurum et peto ut venias et irritum facias foedus quod habes cum Baasa rege Israhel et recedat a me

A covenant is between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go and do break thy covenant with Ba'sha the king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me.

20 adquiescens Benadad regi Asa misit principes exercitus sui in civitates Israhel et percusserunt Ahion et Dan et Abel domum Maacha et universam Cenneroth omnem scilicet terram Nepthalim

And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Assa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote 'Iyon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-ma'achah, and the whole of Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 quod cum audisset Baasa intermisit aedificare Rama et reversus est in Thersa

And it came to pass, when Ba'sha heard this, that he left off the building of Ramah, and remained in Tirzah.

22 rex autem Asa nuntium misit in omnem Iudam nemo sit excusatus et tulerunt lapides Rama et ligna eius quibus aedificaverat Baasa et extruxit de eis rex Asa Gaba Beniamin et Maspha

Then king Assa called together by proclamation all Judah, none being exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, wherewith Ba'sha had built; and king Assa built with them Geba' of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

23 reliqua autem omnium sermonum Asa et universae fortitudines eius et cuncta quae fecit et civitates quas extruxit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda verumtamen in tempore senectutis suae doluit pedes

And the rest of all the acts of Assa, and all his mighty deeds, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. Nevertheless in the time of his old age he became diseased in his feet.

24 et dormivit cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David patris sui regnavitque Iosaphat filius eius pro eo

And Assa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead.

25 Nadab vero filius Hieroboam regnavit super Israhel anno secundo Asa regis Iuda regnavitque super Israhel duobus annis

And Nadab the son of Jerobo'am became king over Israel in the second year of Assa the king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

26 et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini et ambulavit in viis patris sui et in peccatis eius quibus peccare fecit Israhel

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and he walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he had induced Israel to sin.

27 insidiatus est autem ei Baasa filius Ahia de domo Isachar et percussit eum in Gebbethon quae est urbs Philisthinorum siquidem Nadab et omnis Israhel obsidebant Gebbethon

And Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Ba'sha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines: while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

28 interfecit igitur illum Baasa in anno tertio Asa regis Iuda et regnavit pro eo

And Ba'sha slew him in the third year of Assa the king of Judah, and became king in his stead.

29 cumque regnasset percussit omnem domum Hieroboam non dimisit ne unam quidem animam de semine eius donec deleret eum iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu servi sui Ahiae Silonitis

And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jerobo'am; he left not any that breathed unto Jerobo'am, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by his servant Achiyah the Shilonite;

30 propter peccata Hieroboam quae peccaverat et quibus peccare fecerat Israhel et propter delictum quo inritaverat Dominum Deum Israhel

Because of the sins of Jerobo'am which he had sinned, and through which he had induced Israel to sin, by his provoking wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel to anger.

31 reliqua autem sermonum Nadab et omnia quae operatus est nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel

And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

32 fuitque bellum inter Asa et Baasa regem Israhel cunctis diebus eorum

And there was war between Assa and Ba'sha the king of Israel all their days.

33 anno tertio Asa regis Iuda regnavit Baasa filius Ahia super omnem Israhel in Thersa viginti quattuor annis

In the third year of Assa the king of Judah became Ba'sha the son of Achiyah king over all Israel, in Thirzah, [for] twenty and four years.

34 et fecit malum coram Domino ambulavitque in via Hieroboam et in peccatis eius quibus peccare fecit Israhel

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jerobo'am, and in his sin wherewith he had induced Israel to sin.
