1 Kings 22
1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Transierunt igitur tres anni absque bello inter Syriam et Israel.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
In anno autem tertio, descendit Iosaphat rex Iuda ad regem Israel.
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do ye know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we keep quiet without taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
(Dixitque rex Israel ad servos suos: Ignoratis quod nostra sit Ramoth Galaad, et negligimus tollere eam de manu regis Syriae?)
4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
Et ait ad Iosaphat: Veniesne mecum ad praeliandum in Ramoth Galaad?
5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.
Dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israel: Sicut ego sum, ita et tu: populus meus, et populus tuus unum sunt: et equites mei, equites tui. Dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israel: Quaere, oro te, hodie sermonem Domini.
6 And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and the Lord will give it into the king's hand.
Congregavit ergo rex Israel prophetas, quadringentos circiter viros, et ait ad eos: Ire debeo in Ramoth Galaad ad bellandum, an quiescere? Qui responderunt: Ascende, et dabit eam Dominus in manu regis.
7 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?
Dixit autem Iosaphat: Non est hic propheta Domini quispiam, ut interrogemus per eum?
8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Et ait rex Israel ad Iosaphat: Remansit vir unus, per quem possumus interrogare Dominum: sed ego odi eum, quia non prophetat mihi bonum, sed malum, Michaeas filius Iemla. Cui Iosaphat ait: Ne loquaris ita rex.
9 Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.
Vocavit ergo rex Israel eunuchum quendam, et dixit ei: Festina adducere Michaeam filium Iemla.
10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, in the open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
Rex autem Israel, et Iosaphat rex Iuda sedebant unusquisque in solio suo vestiti cultu regio, in area iuxta ostium portae Samariae, et universi prophetae prophetabant in conspectu eorum.
11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.
Fecit quoque sibi Sedecias filius Chanaana cornua ferrea, et ait: Haec dicit Dominus: His ventilabis Syriam, donec deleas eam.
12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.
Omnesque prophetae similiter prophetabant, dicentes: Ascende in Ramoth Galaad, et vade prospere, et tradet Dominus in manus regis.
13 And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak good.
Nuncius vero, qui ierat ut vocaret Michaeam, locutus est ad eum, dicens: Ecce sermones prophetarum ore uno regi bona praedicunt: sit ergo sermo tuus similis eorum, et loquere bona.
14 And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what Jehovah shall say to me, that will I speak.
Cui Michaeas ait: Vivit Dominus, quia quodcumque dixerit mihi Dominus, hoc loquar.
15 And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said to him, Go up, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the hand of the king.
Venit itaque ad regem, et ait illi rex: Michaea, ire debemus in Ramoth Galaad ad praeliandum, an cessare? Cui ille respondit: Ascende, et vade prospere, et tradet eum Dominus in manus regis.
16 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?
Dixit autem rex ad eum: Iterum atque iterum adiuro te, ut non loquaris mihi nisi quod verum est, in nomine Domini.
17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
Et ille ait: Vidi cunctum Israel dispersum in montibus, quasi oves non habentes pastorem. et ait Dominus: Non habent isti dominum: revertatur unusquisque in domum suam in pace.
18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?
(Dixit ergo rex Israel ad Iosaphat: Numquid non dixi tibi, quia non prophetat mihi bonum, sed semper malum?)
19 And he said, Hear therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him, on his right hand and on his left;
Ille vero addens, ait: Propterea audi sermonem Domini: Vidi Dominum sedentem super solium suum, et omnem exercitum caeli assistentem ei a dextris et a sinistris:
20 and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one said after this manner, and another said after that manner.
et ait Dominus: Quis decipiet Achab regem Israel, ut ascendat, et cadat in Ramoth Galaad? Et dixit unus verba huiuscemodi, et alius aliter.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him.
Egressus est autem spiritus, et stetit coram Domino, et ait: Ego decipiam illum. Cui locutus est Dominus: In quo?
22 And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice [him], and also succeed: go forth, and do so.
Et ille ait: Egrediar, et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum eius. Et dixit Dominus: Decipies, et praevalebis: egredere, et fac ita.
23 And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.
Nunc igitur ecce dedit Dominus spiritum mendacii in ore omnium prophetarum tuorum, qui hic sunt, et Dominus locutus est contra te malum.
24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Where now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?
Accessit autem Sedecias filius Chanaana, et percussit Michaeam in maxillam, et dixit: Me ne ergo dimisit Spiritus Domini, et locutus est tibi?
25 And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
Et ait Michaeas: Visurus es in die illa, quando ingredieris cubiculum, intra cubiculum ut abscondaris.
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micah and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
Et ait rex Israel: Tollite Michaeam, et maneat apud Amon principem civitatis, et apud Ioas filium Amelech,
27 and thou shalt say, Thus says the king: Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
et dicite eis: Haec dicit rex: Mittite virum istum in carcerem, et sustentate eum pane tribulationis, et aqua angustiae, donec revertar in pace.
28 And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!
Dixitque Michaeas: Si reversus fueris in pace, non est locutus in me Dominus. Et ait: Audite populi omnes.
29 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
Ascendit itaque rex Israel, et Iosaphat rex Iuda in Ramoth Galaad.
30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
Dixit itaque rex Israel ad Iosaphat: Sume arma, et ingredere praelium, et induere vestibus tuis. porro rex Israel mutavit habitum suum, et ingressus est bellum.
31 And the king of Syria commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.
Rex autem Syriae praeceperat principibus curruum triginta duobus, dicens: Non pugnabitis contra minorem, et maiorem quempiam, nisi contra regem Israel, solum.
32 And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely that is the king of Israel; and they turned against him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out.
Cum ergo vidissent principes curruum Iosaphat, suspicati sunt quod ipse esset rex Israel, et impetu facto pugnabant contra eum: et exclamavit Iosaphat.
33 And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Intellexeruntque principes curruum quod non esset rex Israel, et cessaverunt ab eo.
34 And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to his charioteer, Turn thy hand, and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
Vir autem quidam tetendit arcum, in incertum sagittam dirigens, et casu percussit regem Israel inter pulmonem et stomachum. At ille dixit aurigae suo: Verte manum tuam, et eiice me de exercitu, quia graviter vulneratus sum.
35 And the battle increased that day; and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died at even; and the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.
Commissum est ergo praelium in die illa, et rex Israel stabat in curru suo contra Syros, et mortuus est vespere: fluebat autem sanguis plagae in sinum currus,
36 And there went the cry throughout the host at the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!
et praeco insonuit in universo exercitu antequam sol occumberet, dicens: Unusquisque revertatur in civitatem, et in terram suam.
37 And the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
Mortuus est autem rex, et perlatus est in Samariam: sepelieruntque regem in Samaria,
38 And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked his blood, where the harlots bathed: according to the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken.
et laverunt currum eius in piscina Samariae, et linxerunt canes sanguinem eius, et habenas laverunt, iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat.
39 And the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Reliqua autem sermonum Achab, et universa quae fecit, et domus eburnea, quam aedificavit, cunctarumque urbium quas extruxit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Israel?
40 And Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivit ergo Achab cum patribus suis, et regnavit Ochozias filius eius pro eo.
41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Iosaphat vero filius Asa regnare coeperat super Iudam anno quarto Achab regis Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Triginta quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset, et vigintiquinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Azuba filia Salai.
43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah. Only, the high places were not removed: the people offered and burned incense still on the high places.
Et ambulavit in omni via Asa patris sui, et non declinavit ex ea: fecitque quod rectum erat in conspectu Domini. Verumtamen excelsa non abstulit: adhuc enim populus sacrificabat, et adolebat incensum in excelsis.
44 And Jehoshaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.
Pacemque habuit Iosaphat cum rege Israel.
45 And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem verborum Iosaphat, et opera eius, quae gessit, et praelia, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda?
46 And the remainder of the sodomites, which were left in the days of his father Asa, he put away from out of the land.
Sed et reliquias effeminatorum, qui remanserant in diebus Asa patris eius, abstulit de terra.
47 And there was no king in Edom: a deputy reigned.
Nec erat tunc rex constitutus in Edom.
48 Jehoshaphat made Tarshish-ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they went not, for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.
Rex vero Iosaphat fecerat classes in mari, quae navigarent in Ophir propter aurum: et ire non potuerunt, quia confractae sunt in Asiongaber.
49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
Tunc ait Ochozias filius Achab ad Iosaphat: Vadant servi mei cum servis tuis in navibus. Et noluit Iosaphat.
50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivitque Iosaphat cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in Civitate David patris sui: regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo.
51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned two years over Israel.
Ochozias autem filius Achab regnare coeperat super Israel in Samaria, anno septimodecimo Iosaphat regis Iuda, regnavitque super Israel duobus annis.
52 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
Et fecit malum in conspectu Domini, et ambulavit in via patris sui et matris suae, et in via Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel.
53 And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger, according to all that his father had done.
Servivit quoque Baal, et adoravit eum, et irritavit Dominum Deum Israel, iuxta omnia quae fecerat pater eius.
