The Latin Vulgate VUL
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 in tempore illo aegrotavit Abia filius Hieroboam
1
At that time Abi'jah the son of Jerobo'am fell sick.
2 dixitque Hieroboam uxori suae surge et commuta habitum ne cognoscaris quod sis uxor Hieroboam et vade in Silo ubi est Ahia propheta qui locutus est mihi quod regnaturus essem super populum hunc
2
And Jerobo'am said to his wife, "Arise, and disguise yourself, that it be not known that you are the wife of Jerobo'am, and go to Shiloh; behold, Ahi'jah the prophet is there, who said of me that I should be king over this people.
3 tolle quoque in manu tua decem panes et crustula et vas mellis et vade ad illum ipse indicabit tibi quid eventurum sit huic puero
3
Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what shall happen to the child."
4 fecit ut dixerat uxor Hieroboam et consurgens abiit in Silo et venit in domum Ahia at ille non poterat videre quia caligaverant oculi eius prae senectute
4
Jerobo'am's wife did so; she arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahi'jah. Now Ahi'jah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.
5 dixit autem Dominus ad Ahiam ecce uxor Hieroboam ingreditur ut consulat te super filio suo qui aegrotat haec et haec loqueris ei cum ergo illa intraret et dissimularet se esse quae erat
5
And the LORD said to Ahi'jah, "Behold, the wife of Jerobo'am is coming to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus shall you say to her." When she came, she pretended to be another woman.
6 audivit Ahias sonitum pedum eius introeuntis per ostium et ait ingredere uxor Hieroboam quare aliam esse te simulas ego autem missus sum ad te durus nuntius
6
But when Ahi'jah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jerobo'am; why do you pretend to be another? For I am charged with heavy tidings for you.
7 vade et dic Hieroboam haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel quia exaltavi te de medio populi et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israhel
7
Go, tell Jerobo'am, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: "Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you leader over my people Israel,
8 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
8
and tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you; and yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my eyes,
9 sed operatus es male super omnes qui fuerunt ante te et fecisti tibi deos alienos et conflatiles ut me ad iracundiam provocares me autem proiecisti post corpus tuum
9
but you have done evil above all that were before you and have gone and made for yourself other gods, and molten images, provoking me to anger, and have cast me behind your back;
10 idcirco ecce ego inducam mala super domum Hieroboam et percutiam de Hieroboam mingentem ad parietem et clausum et novissimum in Israhel et mundabo reliquias domus Hieroboam sicut mundari solet fimus usque ad purum
10
therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jerobo'am, and will cut off from Jerobo'am every male, both bond and free in Israel, and will utterly consume the house of Jerobo'am, as a man burns up dung until it is all gone.
11 qui mortui fuerint de Hieroboam in civitate comedent eos canes qui autem mortui fuerint in agro vorabunt eos aves caeli quia Dominus locutus est
11
Any one belonging to Jerobo'am who dies in the city the dogs shall eat; and any one who dies in the open country the birds of the air shall eat; for the LORD has spoken it."'
12 tu igitur surge et vade in domum tuam et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem morietur puer
12
Arise therefore, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.
13 et planget eum omnis Israhel et sepeliet iste enim solus infertur de Hieroboam in sepulchrum quia inventus est super eo sermo bonus ad Dominum Deum Israhel in domo Hieroboam
13
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jerobo'am shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something pleasing to the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jerobo'am.
14 constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israhel qui percutiat domum Hieroboam in hac die et in hoc tempore
14
Moreover the LORD will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jerobo'am today. And henceforth
15 et percutiet Dominus Israhel sicut moveri solet harundo in aqua et evellet Israhel de terra bona hac quam dedit patribus eorum et ventilabit eos trans Flumen quia fecerunt sibi lucos ut inritarent Dominum
15
the LORD will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and scatter them beyond the Euphra'tes, because they have made their Ashe'rim, provoking the LORD to anger.
16 et tradet Dominus Israhel propter peccata Hieroboam qui peccavit et peccare fecit Israhel
16
And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jerobo'am, which he sinned and which he made Israel to sin."
17 surrexit itaque uxor Hieroboam et abiit et venit in Thersa cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus puer mortuus est
17
Then Jerobo'am's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. And as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
18 et sepelierunt eum et planxit illum omnis Israhel iuxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiae prophetae
18
And all Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahi'jah the prophet.
19 reliqua autem verborum Hieroboam quomodo pugnaverit et quomodo regnaverit ecce scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel
19
Now the rest of the acts of Jerobo'am, how he warred and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
20 dies autem quibus regnavit Hieroboam viginti duo anni sunt et dormivit cum patribus suis regnavitque Nadab filius eius pro eo
20
And the time that Jerobo'am reigned was twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21 porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Iuda quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam cum regnare coepisset et decem et septem annis regnavit in Hierusalem civitatem quam elegit Dominus ut poneret nomen suum ibi ex omnibus tribubus Israhel nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanites
21
Now Rehobo'am the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehobo'am was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother's name was Na'amah the Ammonitess.
22 et fecit Iudas malum coram Domino et inritaverunt eum super omnibus quae fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis quae peccaverant
22
And Judah did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done.
23 aedificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi aras et statuas et lucos super omnem collem excelsum et subter omnem arborem frondosam
23
For they also built for themselves high places, and pillars, and Ashe'rim on every high hill and under every green tree;
24 sed et effeminati fuerunt in terra feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium quas adtrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israhel
24
and there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.
25 in quinto autem anno regni Roboam ascendit Sesac rex Aegypti in Hierusalem
25
In the fifth year of King Rehobo'am, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
26 et tulit thesauros domus Domini et thesauros regios et universa diripuit scuta quoque aurea quae fecerat Salomon
26
he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made;
27 pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta aerea et tradidit ea in manu ducum scutariorum et eorum qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis
27
and King Rehobo'am made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
28 cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini portabant ea qui praeeundi habebant officium et postea reportabant ad armamentarium scutariorum
28
And as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard bore them and brought them back to the guardroom.
29 reliqua autem sermonum Roboam et omnium quae fecit ecce scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda
29
Now the rest of the acts of Rehobo'am, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
30 fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Hieroboam cunctis diebus
30
And there was war between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am continually.
31 dormivit itaque Roboam cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanites et regnavit Abiam filius eius pro eo
31
And Rehobo'am slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. His mother's name was Na'amah the Ammonitess. And Abi'jam his son reigned in his stead.
