Ii Regum 1
1 praevaricatus est autem Moab in Israhel postquam mortuus est Ahab
And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Achaab.
2 ceciditque Ohozias per cancellos cenaculi sui quod habebat in Samaria et aegrotavit misitque nuntios dicens ad eos ite consulite Beelzebub deum Accaron utrum vivere queam de infirmitate mea hac
And Ochozias fell through the lattice that was in his upper chamber in Samaria and was sick; and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go and enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my sickness. And they went to enquire of him.
3 angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Heliam Thesbiten surge ascende in occursum nuntiorum regis Samariae et dices ad eos numquid non est Deus in Israhel ut eatis ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron
And an angel of the Lord called Eliu the Thesbite, saying, Arise, and go to meet the messengers of Ochozias king of Samaria, and you shall say to them, [Is it] because there is no God in Israel, [that] you go to enquire of Baal fly, the God of Accaron? but [it shall] not [be] so.
4 quam ob rem haec dicit Dominus de lectulo super quem ascendisti non descendes sed morte morieris et abiit Helias
For thus says the Lord, The bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die. And Eliu went, and said [so] to them.
5 reversique sunt nuntii ad Ohoziam qui dixit eis quare reversi estis
And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why have you returned?
6 at illi responderunt ei vir occurrit nobis et dixit ad nos ite revertimini ad regem qui misit vos et dicetis ei haec dicit Dominus numquid quia non erat Deus in Israhel mittis ut consulatur Beelzebub deus Accaron idcirco de lectulo super quem ascendisti non descendes sed morte morieris
And they said to him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus says the Lord, [Is it] because there is no God in Israel, [that] you go to enquire of Baal fly, the God of Accaron? [it shall] not [be] so: the bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die.
7 qui dixit eis cuius figurae et habitu est vir qui occurrit vobis et locutus est verba haec
So they returned and reported to the king as Eliu said: and he said to them, What [was] the manner of the man who went up to meet you, and spoke to you these words?
8 at illi dixerunt vir pilosus et zona pellicia accinctis renibus qui ait Helias Thesbites est
And they said to him, [He was] a hairy man, and girded with a leather girdle about his loins. And he said, This is Eliu the Thesbite.
9 misitque ad eum quinquagenarium principem et quinquaginta qui erant sub eo qui ascendit ad eum sedentique in vertice montis ait homo Dei rex praecepit ut descendas
And he sent to him a captain of fifty and his fifty; and he went up to him: and, behold, Eliu sat on the top of a mountain. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, the king has called you, come down.
10 respondensque Helias dixit quinquagenario si homo Dei sum descendat ignis e caelo et devoret te et quinquaginta tuos descendit itaque ignis e caelo et devoravit eum et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo
And Eliu answered and said to the captain of fifty, And if I [am] a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour you and your fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.
11 rursum misit ad eum principem quinquagenarium alterum et quinquaginta cum eo qui locutus est illi homo Dei haec dicit rex festina descende
And the king sent a second time to him another captain of fifty, and his fifty. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, thus says the king, Come down quickly.
12 respondens Helias ait si homo Dei ego sum descendat ignis e caelo et devoret te et quinquaginta tuos descendit ergo ignis Dei e caelo et devoravit illum et quinquaginta eius
And Eliu answered and spoke to him, and said, If I [am] a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour you and your fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.
13 iterum misit principem quinquagenarium tertium et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo qui cum venisset curvavit genua contra Heliam et precatus est eum et ait homo Dei noli despicere animam meam et animam servorum tuorum qui mecum sunt
And the king sent yet again a captain and his fifty. And the third captain of fifty came, and knelt on his knees before Eliu, and entreated him, and spoke to him and said, O man of God, let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your eyes.
14 ecce descendit ignis de caelo et devoravit duos principes quinquagenarios primos et quinquagenos qui cum eis erant sed nunc obsecro ut miserearis animae meae
Behold, fire came down from heaven, and devoured the two first captains of fifty: and now, I pray, let my life be precious in your eyes.
15 locutus est autem angelus Domini ad Heliam dicens descende cum eo ne timeas surrexit igitur et descendit cum eo ad regem
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Eliu, and said, Go down with him, be not afraid of them. And Eliu rose up, and went down with him to the king.
16 et locutus est ei haec dicit Dominus quia misisti nuntios ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron quasi non esset Deus in Israhel a quo possis interrogare sermonem ideo de lectulo super quem ascendisti non descendes sed morte morieris
And Eliu spoke to him, and said, Thus says the Lord, Why have you sent messengers to enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron? [it shall] not [be] so: the bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die.
17 mortuus est ergo iuxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est Helias et regnavit Ioram frater eius pro eo anno secundo Ioram filii Iosaphat regis Iudae non enim habebat filium
So he died according to the word of the Lord which Eliu has spoken.
18 reliqua autem verborum Ohoziae quae operatus est nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israhel
And the rest of the acts of Ochozias which he did, behold, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
