Liber III Regum

In tempore illo ægrotavit Abia filius Jeroboam.

At that time Abia, the son of Jeroboam, fell sick.

In tempore illo Abia filio Ieroboame aegrota.

Dixitque Jeroboam uxori suæ: Surge, et commuta habitum, ne cognoscaris quod sis uxor Jeroboam, et vade in Silo, ubi est Ahias propheta, qui locutus est mihi quod regnaturus essem super populum hunc.

And Jeroboam said to his wife: Arise, and change thy dress, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Silo, where Ahias, the prophet is, who told me that I should reign over this people.

Et dic Ieroboame ad uxore suo: surge, et commuta habe, ne cognosce quod es uxore Ieroboame, et vade in Siloë, ubi es Ahiase propheta, qui locuto es ad me quod regna es super populo hoc.

Tolle quoque in manu tua decem panes, et crustulam, et vas mellis, et vade ad illum: ipse enim indicabit tibi quid eventurum sit puero huic.

Take also with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a pot of honey, and go to him: for he will tell thee what will become of this child.

Lola etiam in manu tuo deceme pane, et crustula, et vase de melle, et vade ad illo: ipso nam indica ad te quid eveni es ad puero ad hoc.

Fecit ut dixerat, uxor Jeroboam: et consurgens abiit in Silo, et venit in domum Ahiæ: at ille non poterat videre, quia caligaverant oculi ejus præ senectute.

Jeroboam's wife did as he told her: and rising up, went to Silo, and came to the house of Ahias; but he could not see, for his eyes were dim by reason of his age.

Fac ut uxore, Ieroboame dic: et consurge i ab in Siloë, et veni in domo de Ahiase: sed illo non pote videre, quia oculos de illo caliga prae senectute.

Dixit autem Dominus ad Ahiam: Ecce uxor Jeroboam ingreditur ut consulat te super filio suo qui ægrotat: hæc et hæc loqueris ei. Cum ergo illa intraret, et dissimularet se esse quæ erat,

And the Lord said to Ahias: Behold the wife of Jeroboam cometh in, to consult thee concerning her son, that is sick: thus and thus shalt thou speak to her. So when she was coming in, and made as if she were another woman,

Domino autem dic ad Ahiase: ecce uxore Ieroboame ingredior ut consule te super filio suo qui aegrota: hoc et hoc loque ad illo. Cum ergo illa intra, et dissimula se es que es,

audivit Ahias sonitum pedum ejus introëuntis per ostium, et ait: Ingredere, uxor Jeroboam: quare aliam te esse simulas? ego autem missus sum ad te durus nuntius.

Ahias heard the sound of her feet, coming in at the door, and said: Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam: why dost thou feign thyself to be another? But I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.

Ahiase audi sonitu de pedes de illo introi per ostio, et dic: ingredior, uxore Ieroboame: quare alio te es simula? Me autem misso es ad te duro nuntio.

Vade, et dic Jeroboam: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Quia exaltavi te de medio populi, et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israël,

Go, and tell Jeroboam: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: For as much as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel;

Vade, et dic Ieroboame: Domino Deo Israële dic hoc: quia exalta te de medio de populo, et da te duce super populo meo Israële,

et scidi regnum domus David, et dedi illud tibi, et non fuisti sicut servus meus David, qui custodivit mandata mea, et secutus est me in toto corde suo, faciens quod placitum esset in conspectu meo:

And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, and thou hast not been as my servant, David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing that which was well pleasing in my sight:

Et scinde regno de domo Davide, et da illo ad te, et non es sicut servo meo Davide, qui custodi mandatos meo, et secuto es me in toto corde suo, faciente quod place es in conspectu meo:

sed operatus es mala super omnes qui fuerunt ante te, et fecisti tibi deos alienos et conflatiles, ut me ad iracundiam provocares, me autem projecisti post corpus tuum:

But hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast made thee strange gods, and molten gods, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

Sed operor es malo super omni qui es ante te, et fac ad te deos aliena et conflatile, ut me ad iracundia provoca, me autem proicie post corpore tuo:

idcirco ecce ego inducam mala super domum Jeroboam, et percutiam de Jeroboam mingentem ad parietem, et clausum, et novissimum in Israël: et mundabo reliquias domus Jeroboam, sicut mundari solet fimus usque ad purum.

Therefore, behold I will bring evils upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel: and I will sweep away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as dung is swept away till all be clean.

Ergo ecce me induce malo super domo Ieroboame, et percute de Ieroboame minge ad pariete, et claude, et novissimo in Israële: et munda reliquias de domo Ieroboame, sicut munda fimo sole usque ad purissimo.

Qui mortui fuerint de Jeroboam in civitate, comedent eos canes: qui autem mortui fuerint in agro, vorabunt eos aves cæli: quia Dominus locutus est.

Them that shall die of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat: and them that shall die in the field, the birds of the air shall devour: for the Lord hath spoken it.

Qui more es de Ieroboame in civitate, comede illos canes: qui autem more es in agro, aves de caelo vora illos: quia Domino locuto es.

Tu igitur surge, et vade in domum tuam: et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem, morietur puer,

Arise thou, therefore, and go to thy house: and when thy feet shall be entering into the city, the child shall die,

Te ergo surge, et vade in domo tuo: et in ipso introitu de pedes tuo in urbe, puero more,

et planget eum omnis Israël, et sepeliet: iste enim solus inferetur de Jeroboam in sepulchrum, quia inventus est super eo sermo bonus a Domino Deo Israël in domo Jeroboam.

And all Israel shall mourn for him, and shall bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall be laid in a sepulchre, because in his regard there is found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

Et omni Israële plange illo, et sepeli: isto nam solo infer de Ieroboame in sepulchro, quia inveni es super eo sermone bono ab Domino Deo Israële in domo Ieroboame.

Constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israël, qui percutiet domum Jeroboam in hac die, et in hoc tempore:

And the Lord hath appointed himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam in this day, and in this time:

Domino autem ad se constitue rege super Israële, qui percute domo Ieroboame in hoc die, et in hoc tempore:

et percutiet Dominus Deus Israël, sicut moveri solet arundo in aqua: et evellet Israël de terra bona hac, quam dedit patribus eorum, et ventilabit eos trans flumen: quia fecerunt sibi lucos, ut irritarent Dominum.

And the Lord God shall strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water: and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river: because they have made to themselves groves, to provoke the Lord.

Et Domino Deo Israële percute, sicut move arundo sole in aqua: et evelle Israële de terra bono hoc, quam da ad patres de illos, et ventila illos trans flumine: quia fac ad se lucos, ut irrita Domino.

Et tradet Dominus Israël propter peccata Jeroboam, qui peccavit, et peccare fecit Israël.

And the Lord shall give up Israel for the sins of Jeroboam, who hath sinned, and made Israel to sin.

Et Domino Israële trade propter peccatos Ieroboame, qui pecca, et pecca fac Israële.

Surrexit itaque uxor Jeroboam, et abiit, et venit in Thersa: cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus, puer mortuus est,

And the wife of Jeroboam arose, and departed, and came to Thersa: and when she was coming in to the threshold of the house, the child died,

Uxore itaque surge Ieroboame, et i ab, et veni in Thersa: cumque illa ingredior limine de domo, puero morto es,

et sepelierunt eum. Et planxit eum omnis Israël juxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiæ prophetæ.

And they buried him. And all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahias, the prophet.

Et sepeli illo. Et omni Israële plange illo juxta sermone de Domino, quem locuto es in manu de servo suo de Ahiase de propheta.

Reliqua autem verborum Jeroboam, quomodo pugnaverit, et quomodo regnaverit, ecce scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël.

And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.

Reliqua autem de verbos Ieroboame, quomodo pugna, et quomodo regna, ecce scribe es in libro de verbos de dies de reges Israële.

Dies autem quibus regnavit Jeroboam, viginti duo anni sunt: et dormivit cum patribus suis, regnavitque Nadab filius ejus pro eo.

And the days that Jeroboam reigned, were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers: and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead.

Dies autem ad que regna Ieroboame, viginti duo anno es: et dormi cum patres suo, et Nadabe filio de illo regna pro eo.

Porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Juda. Quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam cum regnare cœpisset: decem et septem annos regnavit in Jerusalem civitate, quam elegit Dominus ut poneret nomen suum ibi, ex omnibus tribubus Israël. Nomen autem matris ejus Naama Ammanitis.

And Roboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Juda: Roboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess.

Porro Roboame filio de Salomone regna in Iuda. Quadraginta et de uno de anno Roboame es cum regna incipe: deceme et septeme anno regna in Ierusalem civitate, Domino elige quam ut pone nomine suo ibi, ex omni tribus Israële. Nomine autem de matre de illo Naama Ammanites.

Et fecit Judas malum coram Domino, et irritaverunt eum super omnibus quæ fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis quæ peccaverunt.

And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed.

Et Iudase fac malo coram Domino, et irrita illo super omni patres de illos fac que in peccatos suo que pecca.

Ædificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi aras, et statuas, et lucos super omnem collem excelsum, et subter omnem arborem frondosam:

For they also built them altars, and statues, and groves, upon every high hill, and under every green tree:

Aedifica nam et ipso ad se aras, et statuas, et lucos super omni colle excelso, et subter omni arbore frondoso:

sed et effeminati fuerunt in terra, feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium quas attrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israël.

There were also the effeminate in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the people, whom the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.

Sed et effemina es in terra, et fac omni abominationes de gentes Domino attri que ante facie de filios Israële.

In quinto autem anno regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Ægypti in Jerusalem,

And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem.

In quinto autem anno de regno Roboame, ascende Sesace rege de Aegypto in Ierusalem,

et tulit thesauros domus Domini, et thesauros regios, et universa diripuit: scuta quoque aurea, quæ fecerat Salomon:

And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the king's treasures, and carried all off: as also the shields of gold which Solomon had made:

Et fer thesauros de domo de Domino, et thesauros regia, et universa diripe: scutos etiam aurea, que fac Salomone:

pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta ærea, et tradidit ea in manum ducum scutariorum, et eorum qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis.

And Roboam made shields of brass instead of them, and delivered them into the hand of the captains of the shieldbearers, and of them that kept watch before the gate of the king's house.

Pro que rege fac Roboame scutos aereo, et trade illa in manu de ducos de scutarios, et de illos qui excuba ante ostio de domo de rege.

Cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini, portabant ea qui præeundi habebant officium: et postea reportabant ad armamentarium scutariorum.

And when the king went into the house of the Lord, they whose office it was to go before him, carried them: and afterwards they brought them back to the armoury of the shieldbearers.

Cumque rege ingredior in domo de Domino, porta illa qui praei habe officio: et postea reporta ad armamentario de scutarios.

Reliqua autem sermonum Roboam, et omnia quæ fecit, ecce scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Juda.

Now the rest of the acts of Roboam, and all that he did, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda.

Reliqua autem de sermones Roboame, et omni que fac, ecce scribe es in libro de sermones de dies de reges Iuda.

Fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Jeroboam cunctis diebus.

And there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam always.

Et bello es inter Roboame et Ieroboame cuncta dies.

Dormivitque Roboam cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David: nomen autem matris ejus Naama Ammanitis: et regnavit Abiam filius ejus pro eo.

And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them, in the city of David: and his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess: and Abiam, his son, reigned in his stead.

Et Roboame dormi cum patres suo, et sepeli es cum illos in civitate Davide: nomine autem de matre de illo Naama Ammane: et regna Abia filio de illo pro eo.
