I Regum 15
1 igitur in octavodecimo anno regni Hieroboam filii Nabath regnavit Abiam super Iudam
Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.
2 tribus annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Maacha filia Absalom
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah 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
He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as 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 David’s sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;
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 that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 attamen bellum fuit inter Roboam et inter Hieroboam omni tempore vitae eius
Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam 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
The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 et dormivit Abiam cum patribus suis et sepelierunt eum in civitate David regnavitque Asa filius eius pro eo
Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.
9 in anno ergo vicesimo Hieroboam regis Israhel regnavit Asa rex Iuda
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
10 et quadraginta uno anno regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Maacha filia Absalom
He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
11 et fecit Asa rectum ante conspectum Domini sicut David pater eius
Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did.
12 et abstulit effeminatos de terra purgavitque universas sordes idolorum quae fecerant patres eius
He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that 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
He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
14 excelsa autem non abstulit verumtamen cor Asa perfectum erat cum Deo cunctis diebus suis
But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.
15 et intulit ea quae sanctificaverat pater suus et voverat in domum Domini argentum et aurum et vasa
He brought into the LORD’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.
16 bellum autem erat inter Asa et Baasa regem Israhel cunctis diebus eorum
There was war between Asa and Baasha 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
Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa 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 Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at 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
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart 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
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 quod cum audisset Baasa intermisit aedificare Rama et reversus est in Thersa
When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived 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 Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build 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
Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was 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
Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
25 Nadab vero filius Hieroboam regnavit super Israhel anno secundo Asa regis Iuda regnavitque super Israhel duobus annis
Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa 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
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made 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
Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
28 interfecit igitur illum Baasa in anno tertio Asa regis Iuda et regnavit pro eo
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.
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
As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;
30 propter peccata Hieroboam quae peccaverat et quibus peccare fecerat Israhel et propter delictum quo inritaverat Dominum Deum Israhel
for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which 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
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 fuitque bellum inter Asa et Baasa regem Israhel cunctis diebus eorum
There was war between Asa and Baasha 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 Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
34 et fecit malum coram Domino ambulavitque in via Hieroboam et in peccatis eius quibus peccare fecit Israhel
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
