1 Kings 14
1 At that time, fell sick, Abijah son of Jeroboam.
In tempore illo ægrotavit Abia filius Ieroboam.
2 Then said Jeroboam to his wife—Arise, I pray thee, and feign thyself another, that it be not known, that, thou, art the wife of Jeroboam, —and thou shalt go thy way to Shiloh, lo! there, is Ahijah the prophet, who promised I should be king over this people;
Dixitque Ieroboam uxori suæ: Surge, et commuta habitum, ne cognoscaris quod sis uxor Ieroboam: et vade in Silo, ubi est Ahias propheta, qui locutus est mihi, quod regnaturus essem super populum hunc.
3 and thou shall take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a bottle of honey, and shalt go unto him, —he, will tell thee what shall befall the young man.
Tolle quoque in manu tua decem panes, et crustulam, et vas mellis, et vade ad illum: ipse enim indicabit tibi quid eventurum sit puero huic.
4 And the wife of Jeroboam, did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and entered the house of Ahijah, —now, Ahijah, could not see, for his eyes were fixed, by reason of his old age.
Fecit ut dixerat, uxor Ieroboam: et consurgens abiit in Silo, et venit in domum Ahiæ: at ille non poterat videre, quia caligaverant oculi eius præ senectute.
5 But, Yahweh, had said unto Ahijah—Lo! the wife of Jeroboam, coming to enquire something of thee, concerning her son, for he is sick, thus and so, shalt thou speak unto her, —though, when she cometh in, she feign to be a stranger-woman.
Dixit autem Dominus ad Ahiam: Ecce uxor Ieroboam ingreditur ut consulat te super filio suo qui ægrotat. Hæc et hæc loqueris ei. Cum ergo illa intraret, et dissimularet se esse quæ erat,
6 So it came to pass, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she entered the doorway, that he said—Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam, —wherefore, is it that thou art feigning to be a stranger-woman, seeing that, I, am sent unto thee, with something hard to bear?
audivit Ahias sonitum pedum eius introeuntis per ostium, et ait: Ingredere uxor Ieroboam: quare aliam te esse simulas? Ego autem missus sum ad te durus nuncius.
7 Go, say to Jeroboam—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the midst of the people, —and gave thee to be leader over my people Israel;
Vade, et dic Ieroboam: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Quia exaltavi te de medio populi, et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israel:
8 and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, —and yet thou hast not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me, with all his heart, to do only that which was right in mine eyes;
et scidi regnum domus David, et dedi illud tibi, et non fuisti sicut servus meus David, qui custodivit mandata mea, et secutus est me in toto corde suo, faciens quod placitum esset in conspectu meo:
9 but hast made wicked thy doings beyond any who were before thee, —and hast gone and made thee ether gods, even molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast, me, behind thy back,
sed operatus es mala super omnes, qui fuerunt ante te, et fecisti tibi deos alienos et conflatiles, ut me ad iracundiam provocares, me autem proiecisti post corpus tuum:
10 therefore, behold me! bringing misfortune against the house of Jeroboam, and I will cut off the meanest pertaining to Jeroboam, whether shut up or left at large, in Israel, —and will consume after the house of Jeroboam, as one consumeth dung, till it be all gone:
idcirco ecce ego inducam mala super domum Ieroboam, et percutiam de Ieroboam mingentem ad parietem, et clausum, et novissimum in Israel: et mundabo reliquias domus Ieroboam, sicut mundari solet fimus usque ad purum.
11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, and, him that dieth in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat, —For, Yahweh, hath spoken.
Qui mortui fuerint de Ieroboam in civitate, comedent eos canes: qui autem mortui fuerint in agro, vorabunt eos aves cæli: quia Dominus locutus est.
12 Thou, therefore, arise, go to thine own house, —as thy feet are entering the city, the young man shall die.
Tu igitur surge, et vade in domum tuam: et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem, morietur puer,
13 Then shall all Israel lament for him, and bury him, for, this one, pertaining to Jeroboam, shall reach a burying-place, —because there hath been found in him something good toward Yahweh, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
et planget eum omnis Israel, et sepeliet: iste enim solus inferetur de Ieroboam in sepulchrum, quia inventus est super eo sermo bonus a Domino Deo Israel, in domo Ieroboam.
14 Therefore will Yahweh raise up for himself a king over Israel, who will cut off the house of Jeroboam, this day, but why, even now?
Constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israel, qui percutiet domum Ieroboam in hac die, et in hoc tempore:
15 Therefore will Yahweh smite Israel, as a reed shaketh in water, and will root out Israel, from off this goodly soil, which he gave unto their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River (Euphrates), —because they have made their Sacred Stems, provoking Yahweh to anger:
et percutiet Dominus Deus Israel, sicut moveri solet arundo in aqua: et evellet Israel de terra bona hac, quam dedit patribus eorum, et ventilabit eos trans Flumen: quia fecerunt sibi lucos, ut irritarent Dominum.
16 That he may deliver up Israel, —on account of the sin of Jeroboam, which he committed, and which he caused, Israel, to commit.
Et tradet Dominus Israel propter peccata Ieroboam, qui peccavit, et peccare fecit Israel.
17 Then arose the wife of Jeroboam, and went her way and entered Tirzah, —as, she, was coming into the entrance hall, the young man died.
Surrexit itaque uxor Ieroboam, et abiit, et venit in Thersa: cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus, puer mortuus est.
18 And, when they buried him, all Israel lamented him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Et sepelierunt eum: et planxit eum omnis Israel iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiæ prophetæ.
19 Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold them! written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Reliqua autem verborum Ieroboam, quomodo pugnaverit, et quomodo regnaverit, ecce scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel.
20 And, the days which Jeroboam reigned, were twenty-two years, —and he slept with his fathers, and, Nadab his son, reigned, in his stead.
Dies autem, quibus regnavit Ieroboam, viginti duo anni sunt: et dormivit cum patribus suis: regnavitque Nadab filius eius pro eo.
21 And, Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah, —forty-one years old, was Rehoboam when he began to reign, and seventeen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen to put his Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and, his mother’s name, was Naamah, the Ammonitess.
Porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Iuda. Quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam, cum regnare cœpisset: decem et septem annos regnavit in Ierusalem civitate, quam elegit Dominus ut poneret nomen suum ibi, ex omnibus tribubus Israel. Nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanitis.
22 And Judah did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and provoked him to jealousy, above all that their fathers had done, with their sins which they committed.
Et fecit Iudas malum coram Domino, et irritaverunt eum super omnibus, quæ fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis, quæ peccaverunt.
23 And, they also, built for themselves high places and pillars, and Sacred Stems, —upon every high hill, and under every green tree.
Ædificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi aras, et statuas, et lucos super omnem collem excelsum, et subter omnem arborem frondosam:
24 Moreover also, there were, male devotees, in the land, —they did according to all the abominable practices of the nations, which Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
sed et effeminati fuerunt in terra, feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium, quas attrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israel.
25 And it came to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;
In quinto autem anno regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Ægypti in Ierusalem,
26 and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole, took he away, —and took away all the bucklers of gold, which, Solomon, had made.
et tulit thesauros domus Domini, et thesauros regios, et universa diripuit: scuta quoque aurea, quæ fecerat Salomon:
27 So King Rehoboam made, in their stead, bucklers of bronze, —and committed them unto the hand of the captains of the runners, who kept guard at the entrance of the house of the king.
pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta ærea, et tradidit ea in manum ducum scutariorum, et eorum qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis.
28 And so it was, whensoever the king went into the house of Yahweh, the runners bare them, and then brought them back into the chamber of the runners.
Cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini, portabant ea qui præeundi habebant officium: et postea reportabant ad armamentarium scutariorum.
29 Now, the rest of the story of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem sermonum Roboam, et omnia quæ fecit, ecce scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda.
30 And there was, war, between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, continually.
Fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Ieroboam cunctis diebus.
31 So then Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and, the name of his mother, was Naamah the Ammonitess, —and, Abijah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Dormivitque Roboam cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David: nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanitis: et regnavit Abiam filius eius pro eo.
