Ii Regum 13

1 anno vicesimo tertio Ioas filii Ahaziae regis Iudae regnavit Ioachaz filius Hieu super Israhel in Samaria decem et septem annis

In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Achazyahu the king of Judah became Jehoachaz the son of Jehu king over Israel in Samaria [for] seventeen years.

2 et fecit malum coram Domino secutusque est peccata Hieroboam filii Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel non declinavit ab eis

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: he departed not therefrom.

3 iratusque est furor Domini contra Israhel et tradidit eos in manu Azahelis regis Syriae et in manu Benadad filii Azahel cunctis diebus

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he gave them up into the hand of Chazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, all the time.

4 deprecatus est autem Ioachaz faciem Domini et audivit eum Dominus vidit enim angustiam Israhel qua adtriverat eos rex Syriae

And Jehoachaz besought the Lord; and the Lord hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.

5 et dedit Dominus Israheli salvatorem et liberatus est de manu Syriae habitaveruntque filii Israhel in tabernaculis suis sicut heri et nudius tertius

(And the Lord gave Israel a deliverer, so that they came out from under the power of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times past.

6 verumtamen non recesserunt a peccatis domus Hieroboam qui peccare fecit Israhel in ipsis ambulaverunt siquidem et lucus permansit in Samaria

Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin, therein the people walked: and the Asherah also remained standing in Samaria.)

7 et non sunt derelicti Ioachaz de populo nisi quinquaginta equites et decem currus et decem milia peditum interfecerat enim eos rex Syriae et redegerat quasi pulverem in tritura areae

For he had left of people to Jehoachaz none but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand men on foot; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust at threshing.

8 reliqua autem sermonum Ioachaz et universa quae fecit sed et fortitudo eius nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israhel

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

9 dormivitque Ioachaz cum patribus suis et sepelierunt eum in Samaria regnavitque Ioas filius eius pro eo

And Jehoachaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son became king in his stead.

10 anno tricesimo septimo Ioas regis Iuda regnavit Ioas filius Ioachaz super Israhel in Samaria sedecim annis

In the thirty and seventh year of Joash the king of Judah became Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz king over Israel in Samaria, [for] sixteen years.

11 et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini non declinavit ab omnibus peccatis Hieroboam filii Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel in ipsis ambulavit

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: therein he walked.

12 reliqua autem sermonum Ioas et universa quae fecit sed et fortitudo eius quomodo pugnaverit contra Amasiam regem Iuda nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum regum Israhel

And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds wherewith he fought against Amazyah the king of Judah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

13 et dormivit Ioas cum patribus suis Hieroboam autem sedit super solium eius porro Ioas sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israhel

And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jerobo'am sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14 Heliseus autem aegrotabat infirmitate qua et mortuus est descenditque ad eum Ioas rex Israhel et flebat coram eo dicebatque pater mi pater mi currus Israhel et auriga eius

Now Elisha' was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he had to die. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen.

15 et ait illi Heliseus adfer arcum et sagittas cumque adtulisset ad eum arcum et sagittas

And Elisha' said unto him, Fetch a bow and arrows. And he fetched unto him a bow and arrows.

16 dixit ad regem Israhel pone manum tuam super arcum et cum posuisset ille manum suam superposuit Heliseus manus suas manibus regis

And he said to the king of Israel, Place thy hand upon the bow. And he placed his hand [upon it]: and Elisha' laid his hands upon the king's hands.

17 et ait aperi fenestram orientalem cumque aperuisset dixit Heliseus iace sagittam et iecit et ait Heliseus sagitta salutis Domini et sagitta salutis contra Syriam percutiesque Syriam in Afec donec consumas eam

And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha', Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of victory from the Lord, and the arrow of victory over Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till they be consumed.

18 et ait tolle sagittas qui cum tulisset rursum dixit ei percute iaculo terram et cum percussisset tribus vicibus et stetisset

And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he struck three times, and stopped.

19 iratus est contra eum vir Dei et ait si percussisses quinquies aut sexies sive septies percussisses Syriam usque ad consummationem nunc autem tribus vicibus percuties eam

And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou shouldst have struck five or six times; then wouldst thou have smitten the Syrians till they had been consumed: whereas now thou shalt smite the Syrians three times.

20 mortuus est ergo Heliseus et sepelierunt eum latrunculi quoque de Moab venerunt in terra in ipso anno

And Elisha' died, and they buried him. And the predatory bands of Moabites frequently invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

21 quidam autem sepelientes hominem viderunt latrunculos et proiecerunt cadaver in sepulchro Helisei quod ambulavit et tetigit ossa Helisei et revixit homo et stetit super pedes suos

And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they saw the band; and they cast down the man into the sepulchre of Elisha': and as the man came, and touched the bones of Elisha', he revived, and rose up on his feet.

22 igitur Azahel rex Syriae adflixit Israhel cunctis diebus Ioachaz

But Chazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoachaz.

23 et misertus est Dominus eorum et reversus est ad eos propter pactum suum quod habebat cum Abraham Isaac et Iacob et noluit disperdere eos neque proicere penitus usque in praesens tempus

And the Lord became gracious unto them, and had mercy on them, and turned his regard unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he cast them not off from his presence even until now.

24 mortuus est autem Azahel rex Syriae et regnavit Benadad filius eius pro eo

And Chazael the king of Syria died: and Ben-hadad his son became king in his stead.

25 porro Ioas filius Ioachaz tulit urbes de manu Benadad filii Azahel quas tulerat de manu Ioachaz patris sui iure proelii tribus vicibus percussit eum Ioas et reddidit civitates Israheli

And Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz took again the cities out of the power of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, which he had taken out of the power of Jehoachaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
