Ii Paralipomenon 16

1 anno autem tricesimo sexto regni eius ascendit Baasa rex Israhel in Iudam et muro circumdabat Rama ut nullus tute posset egredi et ingredi de regno Asa

In the thirty and sixth year of the reign of Asa, come up hath Baasha king of Israel, against Judah, and buildeth Ramah, so as not to permit any going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.

2 protulit ergo Asa argentum et aurum de thesauris domus Domini et de thesauris regis misitque ad Benadad regem Syriae qui habitabat in Damasco dicens

And Asa bringeth out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the house of the king, and sendeth unto Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,

3 foedus inter me et te est pater quoque meus et pater tuus habuere concordiam quam ob rem misi tibi argentum et aurum ut rupto foedere quod habes cum Baasa rege Israhel facias eum a me recedere

'A covenant [is] between me and thee, and between my father and thy father, lo, I have sent to thee silver and gold; go, break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he doth go up from off me.'

4 quo conperto Benadad misit principes exercituum suorum ad urbes Israhel qui percusserunt Ahion et Dan et Abelmaim et universas urbes muratas Nepthalim

And Ben-Hadad hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the heads of the forces that he hath unto cities of Israel, and they smite Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores, cities of Naphtali.

5 quod cum audisset Baasa desivit aedificare Rama et intermisit opus suum

And it cometh to pass, at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth from building Ramah, and letteth his work rest;

6 porro Asa rex adsumpsit universum Iudam et tulerunt lapides Rama et ligna quae aedificationi praeparaverat Baasa aedificavitque ex eis Gabaa et Maspha

and Asa the king hath taken all Judah, and they bear away the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha hath built, and he buildeth with them Geba and Mizpah.

7 in tempore illo venit Anani propheta ad Asam regem Iuda et dixit ei quia habuisti fiduciam in rege Syriae et non in Domino Deo tuo idcirco evasit Syriae regis exercitus de manu tua

And at that time hath Hanani the seer come in unto Asa king of Judah, and saith unto him, 'Because of thy leaning on the king of Aram, and thou hast not leaned on Jehovah thy God, therefore hath the force of the king of Aram escaped from thy hand.

8 nonne Aethiopes et Lybies multo plures erant quadrigis et equitibus et multitudine nimia quos cum Domino credidisses tradidit in manu tua

Did not the Cushim and the Lubim become a very great force for multitude, for chariot, and for horsemen? and in thy leaning on Jehovah He gave them into thy hand,

9 oculi enim eius contemplantur universam terram et praebent fortitudinem his qui corde perfecto credunt in eum stulte igitur egisti et propter hoc ex praesenti tempore contra te bella consurgent

for Jehovah — His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to show Himself strong [for] a people whose heart [is] perfect towards Him; thou hast been foolish concerning this, because — henceforth there are with thee wars.'

10 iratusque Asa adversus videntem iussit eum mitti in nervum valde quippe super hoc fuerat indignatus et interfecit de populo in tempore illo plurimos

And Asa is angry at the seer, and giveth him to the house of torture, for [he is] in a rage with him for this; and Asa oppresseth [some] of the people at that time.

11 opera autem Asa prima et novissima scripta sunt in libro regum Iuda et Israhel

And lo, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

12 aegrotavit etiam Asa anno tricesimo nono regni sui dolore pedum vehementissimo et nec in infirmitate sua quaesivit Dominum sed magis in medicorum arte confisus est

And Asa is diseased — in the thirty and ninth year of his reign — in his feet, till his disease is excessive, and also in his disease he hath not sought Jehovah, but among physicians.

13 dormivitque cum patribus suis et mortuus est anno quadragesimo primo regni sui

And Asa lieth with his fathers, and dieth in the forty and first year of his reign,

14 et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro suo quod foderat sibi in civitate David posueruntque eum super lectulum suum plenum aromatibus et unguentis meretriciis quae erant pigmentariorum arte confecta et conbuserunt super eum ambitione nimia

and they bury him in [one of] his graves, that he had prepared for himself in the city of David, and they cause him to lie on a bed that [one] hath filled [with] spices, and divers kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn for him a burning — very great.
