2 Kings 23
1 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
et renuntiaverunt regi quod dixerat qui misit et congregati sunt ad eum omnes senes Iuda et Hierusalem
2 And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of Jehovah.
ascenditque rex templum Domini et omnes viri Iuda universique qui habitant in Hierusalem cum eo sacerdotes et prophetae et omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum legitque cunctis audientibus omnia verba libri foederis qui inventus est in domo Domini
3 And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all [his] heart, and all [his] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant.
stetitque rex super gradum et percussit foedus coram Domino ut ambularent post Dominum et custodirent praecepta eius et testimonia et caerimonias in omni corde et in tota anima et suscitarent verba foederis huius quae scripta erant in libro illo adquievitque populus pacto
4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.
et praecepit rex Helciae pontifici et sacerdotibus secundi ordinis et ianitoribus ut proicerent de templo Domini omnia vasa quae facta fuerant Baal et in luco et universae militiae caeli et conbusit ea foris Hierusalem in convalle Cedron et tulit pulverem eorum in Bethel
5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
et delevit aruspices quos posuerant reges Iuda ad sacrificandum in excelsis per civitates Iuda et in circuitu Hierusalem et eos qui adolebant incensum Baal et soli et lunae et duodecim signis et omni militiae caeli
6 And he brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast the dust thereof upon the graves of the common people.
et efferri fecit lucum de domo Domini foras Hierusalem in convalle Cedron et conbusit eum ibi et redegit in pulverem et proiecit super sepulchrum vulgi
7 And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
destruxit quoque aediculas effeminatorum quae erant in domo Domini pro quibus mulieres texebant quasi domunculas luci
8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he brake down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
congregavitque omnes sacerdotes de civitatibus Iuda et contaminavit excelsa ubi sacrificabant sacerdotes de Gabaa usque Bersabee et destruxit aras portarum in introitu ostii Iosue principis civitatis quod erat ad sinistram portae civitatis
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.
verumtamen non ascendebant sacerdotes excelsorum ad altare Domini in Hierusalem sed tantum comedebant azyma in medio fratrum suorum
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
contaminavit quoque Thafeth quod est in convalle filii Ennom ut nemo consecraret filium suum aut filiam per ignem Moloch
11 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
abstulit quoque equos quos dederant reges Iudae soli in introitu templi Domini iuxta exedram Nathanmelech eunuchi qui erat in Farurim currus autem solis conbusit igni
12 And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, did the king break down, and beat [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
altaria quoque quae erant super tecta cenaculi Ahaz quae fecerant reges Iuda et altaria quae fecerat Manasses in duobus atriis templi Domini destruxit rex et cucurrit inde et dispersit cinerem eorum in torrentem Cedron
13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
excelsa quoque quae erant in Hierusalem ad dexteram partem montis Offensionis quae aedificaverat Salomon rex Israhel Astharoth idolo Sidoniorum et Chamos offensioni Moab et Melchom abominationi filiorum Ammon polluit rex
14 And he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
et contrivit statuas et succidit lucos replevitque loca eorum ossibus mortuorum
15 Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he brake down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
insuper et altare quod erat in Bethel excelsum quod fecerat Hieroboam filius Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel et altare illud et excelsum destruxit atque conbusit et comminuit in pulverem succenditque etiam lucum
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Jehovah which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
et conversus Iosias vidit ibi sepulchra quae erant in monte misitque et tulit ossa de sepulchris et conbusit ea super altare et polluit illud iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus est vir Dei qui praedixerat verba haec
17 Then he said, What monument is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.
et ait quis est titulus ille quem video responderuntque ei cives illius urbis sepulchrum est hominis Dei qui venit de Iuda et praedixit verba haec quae fecisti super altare Bethel
18 And he said, Let him be; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
et ait dimittite eum nemo commoveat ossa eius et intacta manserunt ossa illius cum ossibus prophetae qui venerat de Samaria
19 And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke [Jehovah] to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
insuper et omnia fana excelsorum quae erant in civitatibus Samariae quae fecerant reges Israhel ad inritandum Dominum abstulit Iosias et fecit eis secundum omnia opera quae fecerat in Bethel
20 And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
et occidit universos sacerdotes excelsorum qui erant ibi super altaria et conbusit ossa humana super ea reversusque est Hierusalem
21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto Jehovah your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.
et praecepit omni populo dicens facite phase Domino Deo vestro secundum quod scriptum est in libro foederis huius
22 Surely there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
nec enim factum est phase tale a diebus iudicum qui iudicaverunt Israhel et omnium dierum regum Israhel et regum Iuda
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to Jehovah in Jerusalem.
sicut in octavodecimo anno regis Iosiae factum est phase istud Domino in Hierusalem
24 Moreover them that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Jehovah.
sed et pythones et ariolos et figuras idolorum et inmunditias abominationesque quae fuerant in terra Iuda et in Hierusalem abstulit Iosias ut statueret verba legis quae scripta sunt in libro quem invenit Helcias sacerdos in templo Domini
25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
similis illi non fuit ante eum rex qui reverteretur ad Dominum in omni corde suo et in tota anima sua et in universa virtute sua iuxta omnem legem Mosi neque post eum surrexit similis illi
26 Notwithstanding, Jehovah turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh had provoked him.
verumtamen non est aversus Dominus ab ira furoris sui magni quo iratus est furor eius contra Iudam propter inritationes quibus provocaverat eum Manasses
27 And Jehovah said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
dixit itaque Dominus etiam Iudam auferam a facie mea sicut abstuli Israhel et proiciam civitatem hanc quam elegi Hierusalem et domum de qua dixi erit nomen meum ibi
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
reliqua autem verba Iosiae et universa quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda
29 In his days Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and [Pharaoh-necoh] slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
in diebus eius ascendit Pharao Necho rex Aegypti contra regem Assyriorum ad flumen Eufraten et abiit Iosias rex in occursum eius et occisus est in Mageddo cum vidisset eum
30 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
et portaverunt eum servi sui mortuum de Mageddo et pertulerunt in Hierusalem et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro suo tulitque populus terrae Ioahaz filium Iosiae et unxerunt eum et constituerunt eum regem pro patre suo
31 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
viginti trium annorum erat Ioahaz cum regnare coepisset et tribus mensibus regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Amithal filia Hieremiae de Lobna
32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerant patres eius
33 And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
vinxitque eum Pharao Necho in Rebla quae est in terra Emath ne regnaret in Hierusalem et inposuit multam terrae centum talentis argenti et talento auri
34 And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
regemque constituit Pharao Necho Eliachim filium Iosiae pro Iosia patre eius vertitque nomen eius Ioiachim porro Ioahaz tulit et duxit in Aegyptum
35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.
argentum autem et aurum dedit Ioiachim Pharaoni cum indixisset terrae per singulos ut conferretur iuxta praeceptum Pharaonis et unumquemque secundum vires suas exegit tam argentum quam aurum de populo terrae ut daret Pharaoni Necho
36 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
viginti quinque annorum erat Ioiachim cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Zebida filia Phadaia de Ruma
37 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerant patres eius
