I Regum 16

1 Factus est autem sermo Domini ad Iehu filium Hanani contra Baasa, dicens:

And the word of the Lord came to Jehu, son of Hanani, protesting against Baasha and saying,

2 Pro eo quod exaltavi te de pulvere, et posui te ducem super populum meum Israel, tu autem ambulasti in via Ieroboam, et peccare fecisti populum meum Israel, ut me irritares in peccatis eorum:

Because I took you up out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have gone in the ways of Jeroboam, and made my people Israel do evil, moving me to wrath by their sins;

3 ecce, ego demetam posteriora Baasa, et posteriora domus eius: et faciam domum tuam sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat.

Truly, I will see that Baasha and all his family are completely brushed away; I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

4 Qui mortuus fuerat de Baasa in civitate, comedent eum canes: et qui mortuus fuerit ex eo in regione, comedent eum volucres cæli.

Anyone of the family of Baasha who comes to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and he to whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air.

5 Reliqua autem sermonum Baasa, et quæcumque fecit, et prælia eius, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

6 Dormivit ergo Baasa cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in Thersa: et regnavit Ela filius eius pro eo.

And Baasha went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place.

7 Cum autem in manu Iehu filii Hanani prophetæ verbum Domini factum esset contra Baasa, et contra domum eius, et contra omne malum, quod fecerat coram Domino, ad irritandum eum in operibus manuum suarum, ut fieret sicut domus Ieroboam: ob hanc causam occidit eum, hoc est, Iehu filium Hanani, prophetam.

And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he put it to death.

8 Anno vigesimo sexto Asa regis Iuda, regnavit Ela filius Baasa super Israel in Thersa duobus annis.

In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, became king of Israel in Tirzah, and he was king for two years.

9 Et rebellavit contra eum servus suus Zambri, dux mediæ partis equitum: erat autem Ela in Thersa bibens, et temulentus in domo Arsa præfecti Thersa.

And his servant Zimri, captain of half his war-carriages, made secret designs against him: now he was in Tirzah, drinking hard in the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in Tirzah.

10 Irruens ergo Zambri, percussit, et occidit eum anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Iuda, et regnavit pro eo.

And Zimri went in and made an attack on him and put him to death, in the twenty-seventh year that Asa was king of Judah, and made himself king in his place.

11 Cumque regnasset, et sedisset super solium eius, percussit omnem domum Baasa, et non dereliquit ex ea mingentem ad parietem, et propinquos et amicos eius.

And straight away when he became king and took his place on the seat of the kingdom, he put to death all the family of Baasha: not one male child of his relations or his friends kept his life.

12 Delevitque Zambri omnem domum Baasa, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat ad Baasa in manu Iehu prophetæ,

So Zimri put to death all the family of Baasha, so that the word which the Lord said against him by the mouth of Jehu the prophet came about;

13 propter universa peccata Baasa, et peccata Ela filii eius, qui peccaverunt, et peccare fecerunt Israel provocantes Dominum Deum Israel in vanitatibus suis.

Because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish acts.

14 Reliqua autem sermonum Ela, et omnia quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

15 Anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Iuda, regnavit Zambri septem diebus in Thersa: porro exercitus obsidebat Gebbethon urbem Philisthinorum.

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri was king for seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were attacking Gibbethon in the land of the Philistines.

16 Cumque audisset rebellasse Zambri, et occidisse regem, fecit sibi regem omnis Israel Amri, qui erat princeps militiæ super Israel in die illa in castris.

And news came to the people in the tents that Zimri had made a secret design and had put the king to death: so all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day in the tents.

17 Ascendit ergo Amri, et omnis Israel cum eo de Gebbethon, et obsidebant Thersa.

Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they made an attack on Tirzah, shutting in the town on every side.

18 Videns autem Zambri quod expugnanda esset civitas, ingressus est palatium, et succendit se cum domo regia: et mortuus est

And when Zimri saw that the town was taken, he went into the inner room of the king's house, and burning the house over his head, came to his end,

19 in peccatis suis, quæ peccaverat faciens malum coram Domino, et ambulans in via Ieroboam, et in peccato eius, quo fecit peccare Israel.

Because of his sin in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, in going in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel do.

20 Reliqua autem sermonum Zambri, et insidiarum eius, et tyrannidis, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the secret design he made, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

21 Tunc divisus est populus Israel in duas partes: media pars populi sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth, ut constitueret eum regem: et media pars Amri.

Then there was a division among the people of Israel; half the people were for making Tibni, son of Ginath, king, and half were supporting Omri.

22 Prævaluit autem populus, qui erat cum Amri, populo qui sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth: mortuusque est Thebni, et regnavit Amri.

But the supporters of Omri overcame those who were on the side of Tibni, the son of Ginath; and death came to Tibni and to his brother Joram at that time: and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.

23 Anno trigesimo primo Asa regis Iuda regnavit Amri super Israel, duodecim annis: in Thersa regnavit sex annis.

In the thirty-first year of Asa, king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and he was king for twelve years; for six years he was ruling in Tirzah.

24 Emitque montem Samariæ a Somer duobus talentis argenti: et ædificavit eum, et vocavit nomen civitatis, quam extruxerat, nomine Semer Domini montis Samariam.

He got the hill Samaria from Shemer for the price of two talents of silver, and he made a town there, building it on the hill and naming it Samaria, after Shemer the owner of the hill.

25 Fecit autem Amri malum in conspectu Domini, et operatus est nequiter super omnes, qui fuerunt ante eum.

And Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all those before him,

26 Ambulavitque in omni via Ieroboam filii Nabat, et in peccatis eius quibus peccare fecerat Israel: ut irritaret Dominum Deum Israel in vanitatibus suis.

Copying all the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and all the sins he did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish ways.

27 Reliqua autem sermonum Amri, et prælia eius, quæ gessit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Israel?

Now the rest of the acts which Omri did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

28 Dormivitque Amri cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in Samaria: regnavitque Achab filius eius pro eo.

So Omri went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

29 Achab vero filius Amri regnavit super Israel anno trigesimo octavo Asa regis Iuda. Et regnavit Achab filius Amri super Israel in Samaria viginti et duobus annis.

In the thirty-eighth year that Asa was king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, became king over Israel; and Ahab was king in Samaria for twenty-two years.

30 Et fecit Achab filius Amri malum in conspectu Domini super omnes, qui fuerunt ante eum.

And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all who went before him.

31 Nec suffecit ei ut ambularet in peccatis Ieroboam, filii Nabat: insuper duxit uxorem Iezabel filiam Ethbaal regis Sidoniorum. Et abiit, et servivit Baal, et adoravit eum.

And as if copying the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, was a small thing for him, he took as his wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidon, and became a servant and worshipper of Baal.

32 Et posuit aram Baal in templo Baal, quod ædificaverat in Samaria,

And he put up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal which he had made in Samaria.

33 et plantavit lucum: et addidit Achab in opere suo, irritans Dominum Deum Israel super omnes reges Israel, qui fuerunt ante eum.

And Ahab made an image of Asherah and did more than all the kings of Israel before him to make the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.

34 In diebus eius ædificavit Hiel de Bethel, Iericho: in Abiram primitivo suo fundavit eam, et in Segub novissimo suo posuit portas eius: iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu Iosue filii Nun.

In his days Hiel made Jericho; he put its base in position at the price of Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his youngest son Segub; even as the Lord had said by Joshua, the son of Nun.
