Liber IV Regum

Duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquaginta quinque annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Haphsiba.

Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Haphsiba.

Duodecime de annos es Manasse cum regna incipe, et quinquaginta quinque anno regna in Ierusalem: nomine de matre de illo Haphsiba.

Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, juxta idola gentium quas delevit Dominus a facie filiorum Israël.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the idols of the nations, which the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel.

Et fac malo in conspectu de Domino, juxta idolas de gentes Domino dele que ab facie de filios Israële.

Conversusque est, et ædificavit excelsa quæ dissipaverat Ezechias pater ejus: et erexit aras Baal, et fecit lucos sicut fecerat Achab rex Israël, et adoravit omnem militiam cæli, et coluit eam.

And he turned, and built up the high places, which Ezechias, his father, had destroyed: and he set up altars to Baal, and made groves, as Achab, the king of Israel, had done: and he adored all the host of heaven, and served them.

Et converte es, et aedifica excelso Ezechiase patre de illo dissipa que: et erige aras Baale, et fac lucos sicut Achabe rege Israële fac, et adora omni militia de caelo, et cole illa.

Exstruxitque aras in domo Domini, de qua dixit Dominus: In Jerusalem ponam nomen meum.

And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said: In Jerusalem I will put my name.

Et exstrue aras in domo de Domino, de quo Domino dic: in Ierusalem pone nomine meo.

Et exstruxit altaria universæ militiæ cæli in duobus atriis templi Domini.

And he built altars for all the host of heaven, in the two courts of the temple of the Lord.

Et exstrue altarios universa de militia de caelo in duo atrio de templo de Domino.

Et traduxit filium suum per ignem: et ariolatus est, et observavit auguria, et fecit pythones, et aruspices multiplicavit, ut faceret malum coram Domino, et irritaret eum.

And he made his son pass through fire: and he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed pythons, and multiplied soothsayers, to do evil before the Lord, and to provoke him.

Et traduce filio suo per igni: et ariola es, et observa augurias, et fac pythones, et aruspices multiplica, ut fac malo coram Domino, et irrita illo.

Posuit quoque idolum luci quem fecerat, in templo Domini, super quod locutus est Dominus ad David, et ad Salomonem filium ejus: In templo hoc, et in Jerusalem quam elegi de cunctis tribubus Israël, ponam nomen meum in sempiternum.

He set also an idol of the grove, which he had made, in the temple of the Lord: concerning which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.

Pone etiam idolo de luce quem fac, in templo de Domino, super quod locuto es Domino ad Davide, et ad Salomone filio de illo: in templo hoc, et in Ierusalem quam elige de cuncta tribus Israële, pone nomine meo in sempiterno.

Et ultra non faciam commoveri pedem Israël de terra quam dedi patribus eorum: si tamen custodierint opere omnia quæ præcepi eis, et universam legem quam mandavit eis servus meus Moyses.

And I will no more make the feet of Israel to be moved out of the land, which I gave to their fathers: only if they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, according to the law which my servant Moses commanded them.

Et ultra non fac commove pede Israële de terra quam da ad patres de illos: si tamen custodi opere omni que praecipie ad illos, et universa lege servo meo ad illos Moyse manda quam.

Illi vero non audierunt: sed seducti sunt a Manasse, ut facerent malum super gentes quas contrivit Dominus a facie filiorum Israël.

But they hearkened not: but were seduced by Manasses, to do evil more than the nations which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.

Illo vero non audi: sed seduce es ab Manasse, ut fac malo super gentes Domino contrie que ab facie de filios Israële.

Locutusque est Dominus in manu servorum suorum prophetarum, dicens:

And the Lord spoke in the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:

Et locuto es Domino in manu de servos suo de prophetas, dicente:

Quia fecit Manasses rex Juda abominationes istas pessimas, super omnia quæ fecerunt Amorrhæi ante eum, et peccare fecit etiam Judam in immunditiis suis:

Because Manasses, king of Juda, hath done these most wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorrhites did before him, and hath made Juda also to sin with his filthy doings:

Quia Manasse rege Iuda fac abominationes isto pessima, super omni de Amorrhaeo fac que ante illo, et pecca fac etiam Iudase in immunditias suo:

propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Ecce ego inducam mala super Jerusalem et Judam, ut quicumque audierit, tinniant ambæ aures ejus.

Therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on evils upon Jerusalem and Juda: that whosoever shall hear of them, both his ears shall tingle.

Propter hoc Domino Deo Israële dic hoc: ecce me induce malo super Ierusalem et Iudase, ut omni audi, tinnie ambo aures de illo.

Et extendam super Jerusalem funiculum Samariæ, et pondus domus Achab: et delebo Jerusalem, sicut deleri solent tabulæ: et delens vertam, et ducam crebrius stylum super faciem ejus.

And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the weight of the house of Achab: and I will efface Jerusalem, as writings tables are wont to be effaced, and I will erase and turn it, and draw the pencil often over the face thereof.

Et extende super Ierusalem funiculo de Samaria, et pondere de domo Achabe: et dele Ierusalem, sicut dole tabulas sole: et dele verte, et duc crebre stylo super facie de illo.

Dimittam vero reliquias hæreditatis meæ, et tradam eas in manus inimicorum ejus, eruntque in vastitatem, et in rapinam cunctis adversariis suis:

And I will leave the remnants of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies: and they shall become a prey, and a spoil to all their enemies.

Dimitte vero reliquias de haereditate meo, et trade illas in manus de inimicos de illo, et es in vastitate, et in rapina cuncta adversario suo:

eo quod fecerint malum coram me, et perseveraverint irritantes me, ex die qua egressi sunt patres eorum ex Ægypto usque ad hanc diem.

Because they have done evil before me, and have continued to provoke me, from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.

Eo quod fac malo coram me, et persevera irrita me, ex die quo egredior es patres de illos ex Aegypto usque ad hoc die.

Insuper et sanguinem innoxium fudit Manasses multum nimis, donec impleret Jerusalem usque ad os: absque peccatis suis quibus peccare fecit Judam, ut faceret malum coram Domino.

Moreover, Manasses shed also very much innocent blood, till he filled Jerusalem up to the mouth: besides his sins, wherewith he made Juda to sin, to do evil before the Lord.

Insuper Manasse fudi et sanguine innoxio multo nimis, usque que imple Ierusalem usque ad ore: absque peccatos suo ad que pecca fac Iudase, ut fac malo coram Domino.

Reliqua autem sermonum Manasse, ut universa quæ fecit, et peccatum ejus quod peccavit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Juda?

Now the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin, which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

Reliqua autem de sermones Manasse, ut universa que fac, et peccato de illo quod pecca, nonne hoc scribe es in libro de sermones de dies de reges Iuda?

Dormivitque Manasses cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in horto domus suæ, in horto Oza: et regnavit Amon filius ejus pro eo.

And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Oza: and Amon, his son, reigned in his stead.

Et Manasse dormi cum patres suo, et sepeli es in horto de domo suo, in horto Oza: et Amone filio de illo regna pro eo.

Viginti duorum annorum erat Amon cum regnare cœpisset: duobus quoque annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Messalemeth filia Harus de Jeteba.

Two and twenty years old was Amon when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Messalemeth, the daughter of Harus, of Jeteba.

Viginti de duo de anno es Amone cum regna incipe: duo etiam annos regna in Ierusalem: nomine de matre de illo Messalemeth filia Haro de Ieteba.

Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater ejus.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses, his father, had done.

Et fac malo in conspectu de Domino, sicut Manasse patre de illo fac.

Et ambulavit in omni via per quam ambulaverat pater ejus, servivitque immunditiis quibus servierat pater ejus, et adoravit eas:

And he walked in all the way in which his father had walked: and he served the abominations which his father had served, and he adored them.

Et ambula in omni via per quam patre de illo ambula, et servi ad immunditias ad que patre de illo servi, et adora illas:

et dereliquit Dominum Deum patrum suorum, et non ambulavit in via Domini.

And forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.

Et derelinque Domino Deo de patres suo, et non ambula in via de Domino.

Tetenderuntque ei insidias servi sui, et interfecerunt regem in domo sua.

And his servants plotted against him, and slew the king in his own house.

Et retende ad illo insidias servos suo, et interfice rege in domo suo.

Percussit autem populus terræ omnes qui conjuraverant contra regem Amon, et constituerunt sibi regem Josiam filium ejus pro eo.

But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon: and made Josias, his son, their king in his stead.

Populo autem de terra omni qui coniura contra rege Amone percute, et constitue ad se rege Iosiase filio de illo pro eo.

Reliqua autem sermonum Amon quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Juda?

But the rest of the acts of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

Reliqua autem de sermones Amone que fac, nonne hoc scribe es in libro de sermones de dies de reges Iuda?

Sepelieruntque eum in sepulchro suo, in horto Oza: et regnavit Josias filius ejus pro eo.

And they buried him in his sepulchre, in the garden of Oza: and his son, Josias, reigned in his stead.

Et sepeli illo in sepulchro suo, in horto Oza: et Iosiase filio de illo regna pro eo.
