1 Kings 15

1 Now, in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, began Abijah to reign over Judah.

Igitur in octavo decimo anno regni Ieroboam filii Nabat, regnavit Abiam super Iudam.

2 Three years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Maachah, daughter of Abishalom.

Tribus annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Maacha filia Abessalom.

3 And he walked in all the sins of his father which he had done before him, —and his heart was not blameless with Yahweh his God, like the heart of David his father.

Ambulavitque in omnibus peccatis patris sui, quæ fecerat ante eum: nec erat cor eius perfectum cum Domino Deo suo, sicut cor David patris eius.

4 But, for the sake of David, did Yahweh his God give him a lamp, in Jerusalem, —by raising up a son of his after him, and by suffering Jerusalem to stand;

Sed propter David dedit ei Dominus Deus suus lucernam in Ierusalem, ut suscitaret filium eius post eum, et statueret Ierusalem:

5 because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him, all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

eo quod fecisset David rectum in oculis Domini, et non declinasset ab omnibus, quæ præceperat ei cunctis diebus vitæ suæ, excepto sermone Uriæ Hethæi.

6 And there was, war, between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, all the days of his life.

Attamen bellum fuit inter Roboam, et Ieroboam omni tempore vitæ eius.

7 Now, the rest of the story of Abijah and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was, war, between Abijah and Jeroboam.

Reliqua autem sermonum Abiam, et omnia quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda? Fuitque prælium inter Abiam et inter Ieroboam.

8 So then Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, —and, Asa his son, reigned, in his stead.

Et dormivit Abiam cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: regnavitque Asa filius eius pro eo.

9 Now, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, began Asa to reign as king of Judah;

In anno ergo vigesimo Ieroboam regis Israel regnavit Asa rex Iuda,

10 and, forty-one years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Maachah, daughter of Abishalom.

et quadraginta et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Maacha, filia Abessalom.

11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —like David his father;

Et fecit Asa rectum ante conspectum Domini, sicut David pater eius:

12 and he put away the male devotees out of the land, —and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

et abstulit effeminatos de terra, purgavitque universas sordes idolorum, quæ fecerant patres eius.

13 Moreover also, even Maachah his mother, he removed from being queen, because she had made a monstrous thing to the Sacred Stem, —and Asa cut down her monstrous thing and burned it in the Kidron ravine.

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 combussit in Torrente Cedron:

14 But, the high places, removed he not, —nevertheless, the heart of Asa, was blameless with Yahweh, all his days.

excelsa autem non abstulit. Verumtamen cor Asa perfectum erat cum Domino cunctis diebus suis:

15 And he brought in the hallowed things of his father, and his own hallowed things, into the house of Yahweh, —silver and gold, and vessels.

et intulit ea, quæ sanctificaverat pater suus, et voverat, in domum Domini, argentum et aurum, et vasa.

16 And there was, war, between Asa and Baasha king of Israel, all their days.

Bellum autem erat inter Asa, et Baasa regem Israel cunctis diebus eorum.

17 And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, —so as not to suffer any one to come out or go in unto Asa king of Judah.

Ascendit quoque Baasa rex Israel in Iudam, et ædificavit Rama, ut non posset quispiam egredi vel ingredi de parte Asa regis Iuda.

18 So Asa took all the silver and the gold, that were left in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, and delivered them into the hand of his servants, —and King Asa sent them unto Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:

Tollens itaque Asa omne argentum, et aurum, quod remanserat in thesauris domus Domini, et in thesauris domus regiæ, et dedit illud in manus servorum suorum: et misit ad Benadad filium Tabremon filii Hezion, regem Syriæ, qui habitabat in Damasco, dicens:

19 [Let there be a] covenant between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father: Lo! I have sent thee a gift, silver and gold, Come break thy covenant with Baasha, king of Israel, that he may go up from against me.

Fœdus est inter me et te, et inter patrem meum et patrem tuum: ideo misit tibi munera, argentum et aurum: et peto ut venias, et irritum facias fœdus, quod habes cum Baasa rege Israel, et recedat a me.

20 So Ben-hadad hearkened unto King Asa, and sent the generals of the forces which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote Iyyohn [Ijon], and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, —and all Chinneroth, against all the land of Naphtali.

Acquiescens Benadad regi Asa, misit principes exercitus sui in civitates Israel, et percusserunt Ahion, et Dan, et Abeldomum Maacha, et universam Cenneroth, omnes scilicet Terram Nephthali.

21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, he left off building Ramah, —and returned to Tirzah.

Quod cum audisset Baasa, intermisit ædificare Rama, et reversus est in Thersa.

22 And, King Asa, published it unto all Judah, none was exempted, so they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the beams thereof, wherewith Baasha had built, —and King Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

Rex autem Asa nuncium misit in omnem Iudam, dicens: Nemo sit excusatus. Et tulerunt lapides de Rama, et ligna eius, quibus ædificaverat Baasa, et extruxit de eis rex Asa Gabaa Beniamin, et Maspha.

23 Now, the rest of all the story of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did and the cities which he built, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Howbeit, in the time of his old age, he was diseased in his feet.

Reliqua autem omnium sermonum Asa, et universæ fortitudines eius, et cuncta quæ fecit, et civitates, quas extruxit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda? Verumtamen in tempore senectutis suæ doluit pedes.

24 So then Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, —and, Jehoshaphat his son, reigned, in his stead.

Et dormivit cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in Civitate David patris sui. Regnavitque Iosaphat filius eius pro eo.

25 Now, Nadab son of Jeroboam, began to reign over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, —and he reigned over Israel, two years.

Nadab vero filius Ieroboam regnavit super Israel anno secundo Asa regis Iuda: regnavitque super Israel duobus annis.

26 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin, wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin.

Et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini, et ambulavit in viis patris sui, et in peccatis eius, quibus peccare fecit Israel.

27 And Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and Baasha smote him in Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, —Nadab and all Israel being in siege against Gibbethon.

Insidiatus est autem ei Baasa filius Ahiæ de domo Issachar, et percussit eum in Gebbethon, quæ est urbs Philisthinorum: siquidem Nadab et omnis Israel obsidebant Gebbethon.

28 And Baasha slew him, in the third year of Asa king of Judah, —and reigned in his stead.

Interfecit ergo illum Baasa in anno tertio Asa regis Iuda, et regnavit pro eo.

29 And it came to pass, when he became king, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam, he left not remaining any breathing thing pertaining to Jeroboam, until he had destroyed him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

Cumque regnasset, percussit omnem domum Ieroboam: non dimisit ne unam quidem animam de semine eius, donec deleret eum iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu servi sui Ahiæ Silonitis,

30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he committed, and which he caused, Israel, to commit, —by his provocation wherewith he provoked to anger Yahweh God of Israel.

propter peccata Ieroboam, quæ peccaverat, et quibus peccare fecerat Israel: et propter delictum, quo irritaverat Dominum Deum Israel.

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

Reliqua autem sermonum Nadab, et omnia quæ operatus est, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

32 And there was, war, between Asa and Baasha king of Israel, all their days.

Fuitque bellum inter Asa, et Baasa regem Israel cunctis diebus eorum.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, began Baasha, son of Ahijah, to reign over all Israel, in Tirzah, [and he reigned] twenty-four years.

Anno tertio Asa regis Iuda regnavit Baasa filius Ahiæ, super omnem Israel in Thersa vigintiquattuor annis.

34 And he did that which was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin.

Et fecit malum coram Domino, ambulavitque in via Ieroboam, et in peccatis eius, quibus peccare fecit Israel.
