1 Kings 16
1 During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
E la parola dell’Eterno fu rivolta a Jehu, figliuolo di Hanani, contro Baasa, in questi termini:
2 “You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
“Io t’ho innalzato dalla polvere e t’ho fatto principe del mio popolo Israele, ma tu hai battuto le vie di Geroboamo ed hai indotto il mio popolo Israele a peccare, in guisa da provocarmi a sdegno coi suoi peccati;
3 So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
perciò io spazzerò via Baasa e la sua casa, e farò della casa tua quel che ho fatto della casa di Geroboamo, figliuolo di Nebat.
4 [The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Quelli della famiglia di Baasa che morranno in città, saran divorati dai cani; e quelli che morranno per i campi, li mangeranno gli uccelli del cielo”.
5 The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Le rimanenti azioni di Baasa, le sue gesta, e le sue prodezze, trovansi scritte nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
E Baasa si addormentò coi suoi padri, e fu sepolto in Tirtsa; ed Ela, suo figliuolo, regnò in luogo suo.
7 Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
La parola che l’Eterno avea pronunziata per bocca del profeta Jehu, figliuolo di Hanani, fu diretta contro Baasa e contro la casa di lui, non soltanto a motivo di tutto il male che Baasa avea fatto sotto gli occhi dell’Eterno, provocandolo ad ira con l’opera delle sue mani così da imitare la casa di Geroboamo, ma anche perché aveva sterminata quella casa.
8 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
L’anno ventesimosesto di Asa, re di Giuda, Ela, figliuolo di Baasa, cominciò a regnare sopra Israele. Stava a Tirtsa, e regnò due anni.
9 [A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
Zimri, suo servo, comandante della metà de’ suoi carri, congiurò contro di lui. Ela era a Tirtsa, bevendo ed ubriacandosi in casa di Artsa, prefetto del palazzo di Tirtsa,
10 Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
quando Zimri entrò, lo colpì e l’uccise, l’anno ventisettesimo d’Asa, re di Giuda, e regnò in luogo suo.
11 As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
E quando fu re, non appena si fu assiso sul trono, distrusse tutta la casa di Baasa; non gli lasciò neppure un bimbo: né parenti, né amici.
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
Così Zimri sterminò tutta la casa di Baasa, secondo la parola che l’Eterno avea pronunziata contro Baasa per bocca del profeta Jehu,
13 Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
a motivo di tutti i peccati che Baasa ed Ela, suo figliuolo, aveano commesso e fatto commettere ad Israele, provocando ad ira l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, con i loro idoli.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Il resto delle azioni d’Ela e tutto quello ch’ei fece, trovasi scritto nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.
15 So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
L’anno ventisettesimo di Asa, re di Giuda, Zimri regnò per sette giorni in Tirtsa. Or il popolo era accampato contro Ghibbethon, città dei Filistei.
16 The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
Il popolo quivi accampato, sentì dire: “Zimri ha fatto una congiura e ha perfino ucciso il re!” E quello stesso giorno, nell’accampamento, tutto Israele fece re d’Israele Omri, capo dell’esercito.
17 The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
Ed Omri con tutto Israele salì da Ghibbethon e assediò Tirtsa.
18 When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
Zimri, vedendo che la città era presa, si ritirò nella torre della casa del re, diè fuoco alla casa reale restando sotto alle rovine, e così mori,
19 He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
a motivo de’ peccati che aveva commessi, facendo ciò ch’è male agli occhi dell’Eterno, battendo la via di Geroboamo e abbandonandosi al peccato che questi avea commesso, inducendo a peccare Israele.
20 All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Il resto delle azioni di Zimri, la congiura ch’egli ordì, sono cose scritte nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.
21 After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
Allora il popolo d’Israele si divise in due parti: metà del popolo seguiva Tibni, figliuolo di Ghinath, per farlo re; l’altra metà seguiva Omri.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
Ma il popolo che seguiva Omri la vinse contro quello che seguiva Tibni, figliuolo di Ghinath. Tibni morì, e regnò Omri.
23 Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
Il trentunesimo anno d’Asa, re di Giuda, Omri cominciò a regnare sopra Israele, e regnò dodici anni. Regnò sei anni in Tirtsa,
24 Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
poi comprò da Scemer il monte di Samaria per due talenti d’argento; edificò su quel monte una città, e alla città che edificò diede il nome di Samaria dal nome di Scemer, padrone del monte.
25 But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Omri fece ciò ch’è male agli occhi dell’Eterno, e fece peggio di tutti i suoi predecessori;
26 [When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
batté in tutto la via di Geroboamo, figliuolo di Nebat, e s’abbandonò ai peccati che Geroboamo avea fatti commettere a Israele, provocando a sdegno l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, coi suoi idoli.
27 Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Il resto delle azioni compiute da Omri e le prodezze da lui fatte, sta tutto scritto nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Ed Omri s’addormentò coi suoi padri e fu sepolto in Samaria; e Achab, suo figliuolo, regnò in luogo suo.
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
Achab, figliuolo di Omri, cominciò a regnare sopra Israele l’anno trentottesimo di Asa, re di Giuda; e regnò in Samaria sopra Israele per ventidue anni.
30 Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Achab, figliuolo di Omri, fece ciò ch’è male agli occhi dell’Eterno più di tutti quelli che l’aveano preceduto.
31 He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
E, come se fosse stata per lui poca cosa lo abbandonarsi ai peccati di Geroboamo figliuolo di Nebat, prese per moglie Izebel, figliuola di Ethbaal, re dei Sidoni, andò a servire Baal, a prostrarsi dinanzi a lui,
32 He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
ed eresse un altare a Baal, nel tempio di Baal, che edificò a Samaria.
33 He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
Achab fece anche l’idolo d’Astarte. Achab fece più, per provocare a sdegno l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, di quello che non avean fatto tutti i re d’Israele che l’avean preceduto.
34 During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
Al tempo di lui, Hiel di Bethel riedificò Gerico; ne gettò le fondamenta su Abiram, suo primogenito, e ne rizzò le porte su Segub, il più giovane de’ suoi figliuoli, secondo la parola che l’Eterno avea pronunziata per bocca di Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun.
