Ii Regum 8

1 Heliseus autem locutus est ad mulierem cuius vivere fecerat filium dicens surge vade tu et domus tua et peregrinare ubicumque reppereris vocavit enim Dominus famem et veniet super terram septem annis

THEN spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

2 quae surrexit et fecit iuxta verbum hominis Dei et vadens cum domo sua peregrinata est in terra Philisthim diebus multis

And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

3 cumque finiti essent anni septem reversa est mulier de terra Philisthim et egressa est ut interpellaret regem pro domo sua et agris suis

And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.

4 rex autem loquebatur cum Giezi puero viri Dei dicens narra mihi omnia magnalia quae fecit Heliseus

And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

5 cumque ille narraret regi quomodo mortuum suscitasset apparuit mulier cuius vivificaverat filium clamans ad regem pro domo sua et pro agris suis dixitque Giezi domine mi rex haec est mulier et hic filius eius quem suscitavit Heliseus

And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.

6 et interrogavit rex mulierem quae narravit ei deditque ei rex eunuchum unum dicens restitue ei omnia quae sua sunt et universos reditus agrorum a die qua reliquit terram usque ad praesens

And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

7 venit quoque Heliseus Damascum et Benadad rex Syriae aegrotabat nuntiaveruntque ei dicentes venit vir Dei huc

And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.

8 et ait rex ad Azahel tolle tecum munera et vade in occursum viri Dei et consule Dominum per eum dicens si evadere potero de infirmitate mea hac

And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

9 ivit igitur Azahel in occursum eius habens secum munera et omnia bona Damasci onera quadraginta camelorum cumque stetisset coram eo ait filius tuus Benadad rex Syriae misit me ad te dicens si sanari potero de infirmitate mea hac

So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

10 dixitque ei Heliseus vade dic ei sanaberis porro ostendit mihi Dominus quia morte morietur

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely die.

11 stetitque cum eo et conturbatus est usque ad suffusionem vultus flevitque vir Dei

And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.

12 cui Azahel ait quare dominus meus flet at ille respondit quia scio quae facturus sis filiis Israhel mala civitates eorum munitas igne succendes et iuvenes eorum interficies gladio et parvulos eorum elides et praegnantes divides

And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.

13 dixitque Azahel quid enim sum servus tuus canis ut faciam rem istam magnam et ait Heliseus ostendit mihi Dominus te regem Syriae fore

And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.

14 qui cum recessisset ab Heliseo venit ad dominum suum qui ait ei quid tibi dixit Heliseus at ille respondit dixit mihi recipiet sanitatem

So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.

15 cumque venisset dies altera tulit sagulum et infudit aqua et expandit super faciem eius quo mortuo regnavit Azahel pro eo

And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.

16 anno quinto Ioram filii Ahab regis Israhel et Iosaphat regis Iuda regnavit Ioram filius Iosaphat rex Iuda

And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

17 triginta duorum erat annorum cum regnare coepisset et octo annis regnavit in Hierusalem

Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

18 ambulavitque in viis regum Israhel sicut ambulaverat domus Ahab filia enim Ahab erat uxor eius et fecit quod malum est coram Domino

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.

19 noluit autem Dominus disperdere Iudam propter David servum suum sicut promiserat ei ut daret illi lucernam et filiis eius cunctis diebus

Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.

20 in diebus eius recessit Edom ne esset sub Iuda et constituit sibi regem

In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

21 venitque Ioram Seira et omnis currus cum eo et surrexit nocte percussitque Idumeos qui eum circumdederant et principes curruum populus autem fugit in tabernacula sua

So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.

22 recessit ergo Edom ne esset sub Iuda usque ad diem hanc tunc recessit et Lobna in tempore illo

Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

23 reliqua autem sermonum Ioram et universa quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda

And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

24 et dormivit Ioram cum patribus suis sepultusque est cum eis in civitate David et regnavit Ahazias filius eius pro eo

And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

25 anno duodecimo Ioram filii Ahab regis Israhel regnavit Ahazias filius Ioram regis Iudae

In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.

26 viginti duorum annorum erat Ahazias cum regnare coepisset et uno anno regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Athalia filia Amri regis Israhel

Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

27 et ambulavit in viis domus Ahab et fecit quod malum est coram Domino sicut domus Ahab gener enim domus Ahab fuit

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.

28 abiit quoque cum Ioram filio Ahab ad proeliandum contra Azahel regem Syriae in Ramoth Galaad et vulneraverunt Syri Ioram

And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.

29 qui reversus est ut curaretur in Hiezrahel quia vulneraverant eum Syri in Rama proeliantem contra Azahel regem Syriae porro Ahazias filius Ioram rex Iuda descendit invisere Ioram filium Ahab in Hiezrahel quia aegrotabat

And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
