New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 transierunt igitur tres anni absque bello inter Syriam et Israhel
|
1 For three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
|
|
2 in anno autem tertio descendit Iosaphat rex Iuda ad regem Israhel
|
2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to see the king of Israel.
|
|
3 dixitque rex Israhel ad servos suos ignoratis quod nostra sit Ramoth Galaad et neglegimus tollere eam de manu regis Syriae
|
3 The king of Israel had said to his officials, "Don't you know that Ramoth Gilead belongs to us and yet we are doing nothing to retake it from the king of Aram?"
|
|
4 et ait ad Iosaphat veniesne mecum ad proeliandum in Ramoth Galaad
|
4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
|
|
5 dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israhel sicut ego sum ita et tu populus meus et populus tuus unum sunt et equites mei et equites tui dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israhel quaere oro te hodie sermonem Domini
|
5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "First seek the counsel of the LORD."
|
|
6 congregavit ergo rex Israhel prophetas quadringentos circiter viros et ait ad eos ire debeo in Ramoth Galaad ad bellandum an quiescere qui responderunt ascende et dabit Dominus in manu regis
|
6 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets--about four hundred men--and asked them, "Shall I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" "Go," they answered, "for the Lord will give it into the king's hand."
|
|
7 dixit autem Iosaphat non est hic propheta Domini quispiam ut interrogemus per eum
|
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there not a prophet of the LORD here whom we can inquire of ?"
|
|
8 et ait rex Israhel ad Iosaphat remansit vir unus per quem possimus interrogare Dominum sed ego odi eum quia non prophetat mihi bonum sed malum Micheas filius Hiemla cui Iosaphat ait ne loquaris ita rex
|
8 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man through whom we can inquire of the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." "The king should not say that," Jehoshaphat replied.
|
|
9 vocavit ergo rex Israhel eunuchum quendam et dixit ei festina adducere Micheam filium Hiemla
|
9 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, "Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once."
|
|
10 rex autem Israhel et Iosaphat rex Iuda sedebat unusquisque in solio suo vestiti cultu regio in area iuxta ostium portae Samariae et universi prophetae prophetabant in conspectu eorum
|
10 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
|
|
11 fecit quoque sibi Sedecias filius Chanaan cornua ferrea et ait haec dicit Dominus his ventilabis Syriam donec deleas eam
|
11 Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns and he declared, "This is what the LORD says: 'With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.' "
|
|
12 omnesque prophetae similiter prophetabant dicentes ascende in Ramoth Galaad et vade prospere et tradet Dominus in manu regis
|
12 All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. "Attack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious," they said, "for the LORD will give it into the king's hand."
|
|
13 nuntius vero qui ierat ut vocaret Micheam locutus est ad eum dicens ecce sermones prophetarum ore uno bona regi praedicant sit ergo et sermo tuus similis eorum et loquere bona
|
13 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, "Look, as one man the other prophets are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably."
|
|
14 cui Micheas ait vivit Dominus quia quodcumque dixerit mihi Dominus hoc loquar
|
14 But Micaiah said, "As surely as the LORD lives, I can tell him only what the LORD tells me."
|
|
15 venit itaque ad regem et ait illi rex Michea ire debemus in Ramoth Galaad ad proeliandum an cessare cui ille respondit ascende et vade prospere et tradet Dominus in manu regis
|
15 When he arrived, the king asked him, "Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" "Attack and be victorious," he answered, "for the LORD will give it into the king's hand."
|
|
16 dixit autem rex ad eum iterum atque iterum adiuro te ut non loquaris mihi nisi quod verum est in nomine Domini
|
16 The king said to him, "How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"
|
|
17 et ille ait vidi cunctum Israhel dispersum in montibus quasi oves non habentes pastorem et ait Dominus non habent dominum isti revertatur unusquisque in domum suam in pace
|
17 Then Micaiah answered, "I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the LORD said, 'These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.' "
|
|
18 dixit ergo rex Israhel ad Iosaphat numquid non dixi tibi quia non prophetat mihi bonum sed semper malum
|
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Didn't I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?"
|
|
19 ille vero addens ait propterea audi sermonem Domini vidi Dominum sedentem super solium suum et omnem exercitum caeli adsistentem ei a dextris et a sinistris
|
19 Micaiah continued, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne with all the host of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left.
|
|
20 et ait Dominus quis decipiet Ahab regem Israhel ut ascendat et cadat in Ramoth Galaad et dixit unus verba huiuscemodi et alius aliter
|
20 And the LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?' "One suggested this, and another that.
|
|
21 egressus est autem spiritus et stetit coram Domino et ait ego decipiam illum cui locutus est Dominus in quo
|
21 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.'
|
|
22 et ille ait egrediar et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum eius et dixit Dominus decipies et praevalebis egredere et fac ita
|
22 " 'By what means?' the LORD asked. " 'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said. " 'You will succeed in enticing him,' said the LORD. 'Go and do it.'
|
|
23 nunc igitur ecce dedit Dominus spiritum mendacii in ore omnium prophetarum tuorum qui hic sunt et Dominus locutus est contra te malum
|
23 "So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you."
|
|
24 accessit autem Sedecias filius Chanaan et percussit Micheam in maxillam et dixit mene ergo dimisit spiritus Domini et locutus est tibi
|
24 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah in the face. "Which way did the spirit from the LORD go when he went from me to speak to you?" he asked.
|
|
25 et ait Micheas visurus es in die illa quando ingredieris cubiculum intra cubiculum ut abscondaris
|
25 Micaiah replied, "You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room."
|
|
26 et ait rex Israhel tollite Micheam et maneat apud Amon principem civitatis et apud Ioas filium Ammelech
|
26 The king of Israel then ordered, "Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king's son
|
|
27 et dicite eis haec dicit rex mittite virum istum in carcerem et sustentate eum pane tribulationis et aqua angustiae donec revertar in pace
|
27 and say, 'This is what the king says: Put this fellow in prison and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely.' "
|
|
28 dixitque Micheas si reversus fueris in pace non est locutus Dominus in me et ait audite populi omnes
|
28 Micaiah declared, "If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me." Then he added, "Mark my words, all you people!"
|
|
29 ascendit itaque rex Israhel et Iosaphat rex Iuda in Ramoth Galaad
|
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
|
|
30 dixitque rex Israhel ad Iosaphat sume arma et ingredere proelium et induere vestibus tuis porro rex Israhel mutavit habitum et ingressus est bellum
|
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will enter the battle in disguise, but you wear your royal robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
|
|
31 rex autem Syriae praeceperat principibus curruum triginta duobus dicens non pugnabitis contra minorem et maiorem quempiam nisi contra regem Israhel solum
|
31 Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, "Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel."
|
|
32 cum ergo vidissent principes curruum Iosaphat suspicati sunt quod ipse esset rex Israhel et impetu facto pugnabant contra eum et exclamavit Iosaphat
|
32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, "Surely this is the king of Israel." So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat cried out,
|
|
33 intellexeruntque principes curruum quod non esset rex Israhel et cessaverunt ab eo
|
33 the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel and stopped pursuing him.
|
|
34 unus autem quidam tetendit arcum in incertum sagittam dirigens et casu percussit regem Israhel inter pulmonem et stomachum at ille dixit aurigae suo verte manum tuam et eice me de exercitu quia graviter vulneratus sum
|
34 But someone drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the sections of his armor. The king told his chariot driver, "Wheel around and get me out of the fighting. I've been wounded."
|
|
35 commissum est ergo proelium in die illa et rex Israhel stabat in curru suo contra Syros et mortuus est vesperi fluebat autem sanguis plagae in sinum currus
|
35 All day long the battle raged, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. The blood from his wound ran onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
|
|
36 et praeco personuit in universo exercitu antequam sol occumberet dicens unusquisque revertatur in civitatem et in terram suam
|
36 As the sun was setting, a cry spread through the army: "Every man to his town; everyone to his land!"
|
|
37 mortuus est autem rex et perlatus est Samariam sepelieruntque regem in Samaria
|
37 So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried him there.
|
|
38 et laverunt currum in piscina Samariae et linxerunt canes sanguinem eius et habenas laverunt iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat
|
38 They washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria (where the prostitutes bathed), and the dogs licked up his blood, as the word of the LORD had declared.
|
|
39 reliqua vero sermonum Ahab et universa quae fecit et domus eburneae quam aedificavit cunctarumque urbium quas extruxit nonne scripta sunt haec in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel
|
39 As for the other events of Ahab's reign, including all he did, the palace he built and inlaid with ivory, and the cities he fortified, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
|
|
40 dormivit ergo Ahab cum patribus suis et regnavit Ohozias filius eius pro eo
|
40 Ahab rested with his fathers. And Ahaziah his son succeeded him as king.
|
|
41 Iosaphat filius Asa regnare coeperat super Iudam anno quarto Ahab regis Israhel
|
41 Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
|
|
42 triginta quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset et viginti et quinque annos regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Azuba filia Salai
|
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
|
|
43 et ambulavit in omni via Asa patris sui et non declinavit ex ea fecitque quod rectum est in conspectu Domini
|
43 In everything he walked in the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed, and the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
|
|
44 verumtamen excelsa non abstulit adhuc enim populus sacrificabat et adolebat incensum in excelsis
|
44 Jehoshaphat was also at peace with the king of Israel.
|
|
45 pacemque habuit Iosaphat cum rege Israhel
|
45 As for the other events of Jehoshaphat's reign, the things he achieved and his military exploits, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
|
|
46 reliqua autem verborum Iosaphat et opera eius quae gessit et proelia nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda
|
46 He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa.
|
|
47 sed et reliquias effeminatorum qui remanserant in diebus Asa patris eius abstulit de terra
|
47 There was then no king in Edom; a deputy ruled.
|
|
48 nec erat tunc rex constitutus in Edom
|
48 Now Jehoshaphat built a fleet of trading ships to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail--they were wrecked at Ezion Geber.
|
|
49 rex vero Iosaphat fecerat classes in mari quae navigarent in Ophir propter aurum et ire non potuerunt quia confractae sunt in Asiongaber
|
49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my men sail with your men," but Jehoshaphat refused.
|
|
50 tunc ait Ohozias filius Ahab ad Iosaphat vadant servi mei cum servis tuis in navibus et noluit Iosaphat
|
50 Then Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Jehoram his son succeeded him.
|
|
51 dormivitque cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David patris sui regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo
|
51 Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
|
|
52 Ohozias autem filius Ahab regnare coeperat super Israhel in Samaria anno septimodecimo Iosaphat regis Iuda regnavitque super Israhel duobus annis
|
52 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, because he walked in the ways of his father and mother and in the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
|
|
53 et fecit malum in conspectu Domini et ambulavit in via patris sui et matris suae et in via Hieroboam filii Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel
|
53 He served and worshiped Baal and provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
|
|
54 servivit quoque Baal et adoravit eum et inritavit Dominum Deum Israhel iuxta omnia quae fecerat pater eius
