Ii Regum 14

1 In anno secundo Ioas filii Ioachaz regis Israel regnavit Amasias filius Ioas regis Iuda.

In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

2 Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset: viginti autem et novem annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Ioadan de Ierusalem.

He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

3 Et fecit rectum coram Domino, verumtamen non ut David pater eius. Iuxta omnia, quæ fecit Ioas pater suus, fecit:

And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.

4 nisi hoc tantum quod excelsa non abstulit: adhuc enim populus immolabat, et adolebat incensum in excelsis.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

5 Cumque obtinuisset regnum, percussit servos suos, qui interfecerant regem patrem suum:

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father:

6 filios autem eorum, qui occiderant, non occidit, iuxta quod scriptum est in libro legis Moysi, sicut præcepit Dominus, dicens: Non morientur patres pro filiis, neque filii morientur pro patribus: sed unusquisque in peccato suo morietur.

but the children of the murderers he put not to death: according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.

7 Ipse percussit Edom in Valle Salinarum decem millia, et apprehendit Petram in prælio, vocavitque nomen eius Iectehel usque in præsentem diem.

He slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, unto this day.

8 Tunc misit Amasias nuncios ad Ioas filium Ioachaz, filii Iehu regis Israel, dicens: Veni, et videamus nos.

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.

9 Remisitque Ioas rex Israel ad Amasiam regem Iuda, dicens: Carduus Libani misit ad cedrum, quæ est in Libano, dicens: Da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem. Transieruntque bestiæ saltus, quæ sunt in Libano, et conculcaverunt carduum.

And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.

10 Percutiens invaluisti super Edom, et sublevavit te cor tuum: contentus esto gloria, et sede in domo tua: quare provocas malum, ut cadas tu et Iudas tecum?

Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory thereof, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

11 Et non acquievit Amasias: Ascenditque Ioas rex Israel, et viderunt se, ipse et Amasias rex Iuda in Bethsames oppido Iudæ.

But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

12 Percussusque est Iuda coram Israel, et fugerunt unusquisque in tabernacula sua.

And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.

13 Amasiam vero regem Iuda filium Ioas filii Ochoziæ cepit Ioas rex Israel in Bethsames, et adduxit eum in Ierusalem: et interrupit murum Ierusalem, a porta Ephraim usque ad portam anguli, quadringentis cubitis.

And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubists.

14 Tulitque omne aurum, et argentum, et universa vasa, quæ inventa sunt in domo Domini, et in thesauris regis, et obsides, et reversus est in Samariam.

And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

15 Reliqua autem verborum Ioas quæ fecit, et fortitudo eius qua pugnavit contra Amasiam regem Iuda, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

16 Dormivitque Ioas cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israel: et regnavit Ieroboam filius eius pro eo.

And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

17 Vixit autem Amasias, filius Ioas, rex Iuda, postquam mortuus est Ioas filius Ioachaz regis Israel quindecim annis.

And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

18 Reliqua autem sermonum Amasiæ, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?

Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

19 Factaque est contra eum coniuratio in Ierusalem: at ille fugit in Lachis. Miseruntque post eum in Lachis, et interfecerunt eum ibi.

And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.

20 Et asportaverunt in equis, sepultusque est in Ierusalem cum patribus suis in Civitate David.

And they brought him upon horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

21 Tulit autem universus populus Iudæ Azariam annos natum sedecim, et constituerunt eum regem pro patre eius Amasia.

And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.

22 Ipse ædificavit Ælath, et restituit eam Iudæ, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.

He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

23 Anno quintodecimo Amasiæ filii Ioas regis Iuda, regnavit Ieroboam filius Ioas regis Israel in Samaria, quadraginta et uno anno:

In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, [and reigned] forty and one years.

24 et fecit quod malum est coram Domino. Non recessit ab omnibus peccatis Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

25 Ipse restituit terminos Israel ab introitu Emath, usque ad Mare Solitudinis, iuxta sermonem Domini Dei Israel, quem locutus est per servum suum Ionam filium Amathi prophetam, qui erat de Geth, quæ est in Opher.

He restored the border of Israel from the entering in of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gath-hepher.

26 Vidit enim Dominus afflictionem Israel amaram nimis, et quod consumpti essent usque ad clausos carcere, et extremos, et non esset qui auxiliaretur Israeli.

For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.

27 Nec locutus est Dominus ut deleret nomen Israel de sub cælo, sed salvavit eos in manu Ieroboam filii Ioas.

And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

28 Reliqua autem sermonum Ieroboam, et universa quæ fecit, et fortitudo eius, qua præliatus est, et quomodo restituit Damascum, et Emath Iudæ in Israel, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, [which had belonged] to Judah, for Israel, are they hot written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

29 Dormivitque Ieroboam cum patribus suis regibus Israel, et regnavit Zacharias filius eius pro eo.

And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
