I Regum 16

1 factus est autem sermo Domini ad Hieu filium Anani contra Baasa dicens

Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jehu

2 pro eo quod exaltavi te de pulvere et posui ducem super populum meum Israhel tu autem ambulasti in via Hieroboam et peccare fecisti populum meum Israhel ut me inritares in peccatis eorum

son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying: Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and gave thee to be leader over my people Israel, —and yet thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and caused, my people Israel, to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins,

3 ecce ego demetam posteriora Baasa et posteriora domus eius et faciam domum tuam sicut domum Hieroboam filii Nabath

Behold me! consuming after Baasha, and after his house, —and I will deliver up thy house, like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

4 qui mortuus fuerit de Baasa in civitate comedent eum canes et qui mortuus fuerit ex eo in regione comedent eum volucres caeli

Him that dieth of Baasha in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, and, him that dieth of his in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat.

5 reliqua autem sermonum Baasa et quaecumque fecit et proelia eius nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel

Now, the rest of the story of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

6 dormivit ergo Baasa cum patribus suis sepultusque est in Thersa et regnavit Hela filius eius pro eo

So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah, —and, Elah his son, reigned, in his stead.

7 cum autem in manu Hieu filii Anani prophetae verbum Domini factum esset contra Baasa et contra domum eius et contra omne malum quod fecerat coram Domino ad inritandum eum in operibus manuum suarum ut fieret sicut domus Hieroboam ob hanc causam occidit eum

Moreover also, through Jehu son of Hanani the prophet, the word of Yahweh, came against Baasha and against his house, even because of all the wickedness that he had done in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, becoming like the house of Jeroboam, —notwithstanding that he smote him.

8 anno vicesimo sexto Asa regis Iuda regnavit Hela filius Baasa super Israhel in Thersa duobus annis

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, began Elah son of Baasha to reign over Israel, in Tirzah, [and he reigned] two years.

9 et rebellavit contra eum servus suus Zamri dux mediae partis equitum erat autem Hela in Thersa bibens et temulentus in domo Arsa praefecti Thersa

Then conspired against him his servant Zimri, captain of half the chariots, —as he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk, in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.

10 inruens ergo Zamri percussit et occidit eum anno vicesimo septimo Asa regis Iuda et regnavit pro eo

And Zimri went in, and smote him and slew him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, —and reigned in his stead.

11 cumque regnasset et sedisset super solium eius percussit omnem domum Baasa et non dereliquit ex eo mingentem ad parietem et propinquos et amicos eius

And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasha, he left him not even the meanest, —neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.

12 delevitque Zamri omnem domum Baasa iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat ad Baasa in manu Hieu prophetae

Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, —according to the word of Yahweh which he spake unto Baasha, through Jehu the prophet;

13 propter universa peccata Baasa et peccata Hela filii eius qui peccaverunt et peccare fecerunt Israhel provocantes Dominum Deum Israhel in vanitatibus suis

as to all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, —wherewith they sinned, and wherewith they caused, Israel, to sin, provoking to anger Yahweh God of Israel, with their vanities.

14 reliqua autem sermonum Hela et omnia quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel

Now, the rest of the story of Elah, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

15 anno vicesimo et septimo Asa regis Iuda regnavit Zamri septem diebus in Thersa porro exercitus obsidebat Gebbethon urbem Philisthinorum

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, did Zimri reign, seven days in Tirzah, —but, the people, were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistine.

16 cumque audisset rebellasse Zamri et occidisse regem fecit sibi regem omnis Israhel Amri qui erat princeps militiae super Israhel in die illa in castris

When therefore the people who were encamped, heard say, Zimri hath conspired, moreover also, he hath smitten the king, all Israel made Omri, general of the army, king over Israel, on that day, in the camp.

17 ascendit ergo Amri et omnis Israhel cum eo de Gebbethon et obsidebant Thersa

So Omri, and all Israel with him, went up from Gibbethon, —and laid siege against Tirzah.

18 videns autem Zamri quod expugnanda esset civitas ingressus est palatium et succendit secum domum regiam et mortuus est

And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was captured, that he entered into the citadel of the house of the king, —and burned over him the house of the king, with fire, and died:

19 in peccatis suis quae peccaverat faciens malum coram Domino et ambulans in via Hieroboam et in peccato eius quo fecit peccare Israhel

because of his sins which he committed by doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —by walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he committed, by causing, Israel, to sin.

20 reliqua autem sermonum Zamri et insidiarum eius et tyrannidis nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel

Now, the rest of the story of Zimri, and his conspiracy wherein he conspired, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

21 tunc divisus est populus Israhel in duas partes media pars populi sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth ut constitueret eum regem et media pars Amri

Then, were the people of Israel divided, —half the people, were following Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and, half, following Omri.

22 praevaluit autem populus qui erat cum Amri populo qui sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth mortuusque est Thebni et regnavit Amri

But, the people that followed Omri, prevailed against, the people that followed Tibni son of Ginath; so that, Tibni, died, and, Omri, reigned.

23 anno tricesimo primo Asa regis Iuda regnavit Amri super Israhel duodecim annis in Thersa regnavit sex annis

In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, began Omri to reign over Israel [and he reigned] twelve years: in Tirzah, reigned he six years.

24 emitque montem Samariae a Somer duobus talentis argenti et aedificavit eam et vocavit nomen civitatis quam extruxerat nomine Somer domini montis Samariae

And he bought the hill Samaria, of Shemer, for two talents of silver, —and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer lord of the hill—Samaria.

25 fecit autem Amri malum in conspectu Domini et operatus est nequiter super omnes qui fuerant ante eum

And Omri did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and did more wickedly than all who were before him;

26 ambulavitque in omni via Hieroboam filii Nabath et in peccatis eius quibus peccare fecerat Israhel ut inritaret Dominum Deum Israhel in vanitatibus suis

yea he walked in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin, —provoking to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, with their vanities.

27 reliqua autem sermonum Amri et proelia eius quae gessit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel

Now, the rest of the story of Omri, what he did, and his might that he shewed, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

28 et dormivit Amri cum patribus suis et sepultus est in Samaria regnavitque Ahab filius eius pro eo

So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, —and, Ahab his son, reigned, in his stead.

29 Ahab vero filius Amri regnavit super Israhel anno tricesimo octavo Asa regis Iuda et regnavit Ahab filius Amri super Israhel in Samaria viginti et duobus annis

Now, Ahab son of Omri, began to reign over Israel, in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, —and Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel, in Samaria, twenty-two years.

30 et fecit Ahab filius Amri malum in conspectu Domini super omnes qui fuerunt ante eum

And Ahab son of Omri did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and did more wickedly than all that were before him.

31 nec suffecit ei ut ambularet in peccatis Hieroboam filii Nabath insuper duxit uxorem Hiezabel filiam Ethbaal regis Sidoniorum et abiit et servivit Baal et adoravit eum

And it come to pass, as though it had been too light a thing that he should walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and bowed down to him.

32 et posuit aram Baal in templo Baal quod aedificaverat in Samaria

And he reared an altar unto Baal, —in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria.

33 et plantavit lucum et addidit Ahab in opere suo inritans Dominum Deum Israhel super omnes reges Israhel qui fuerant ante eum

And Ahab made the Sacred Stem, —and Ahab did yet more to provoke to anger Yahweh God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

34 in diebus eius aedificavit Ahiel de Bethel Hiericho in Abiram primitivo suo fundavit eam et in Segub novissimo suo posuit portas eius iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu Iosue filii Nun

In his days, did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho, —At the price of Abiram his firstborn, he laid its foundation, and, at the price of Segub his youngest, he set up its doors, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake through Joshua son of Nun.
