The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 In that time Abijah, (the) son of Jeroboam, was sick.
1
in tempore illo aegrotavit Abia filius Hieroboam
2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Rise thou up, and change clothing, that thou be not known, that thou art the wife of Jeroboam; and go thou into Shiloh, where Ahijah, the prophet, is, which spake to me, that I should reign upon this people. (And Jeroboam said to his wife, Rise thou up, and change your clothes, so that thou shalt not be known, that thou art Jeroboam's wife; and go thou to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah is, who spoke to me, and said that I would reign upon this people.)
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
3 Also take thou in thine hand ten loaves, and a cake, and a vessel of honey, and go thou to him; for he shall show to thee, what shall befall to this child.
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
4 The wife of Jeroboam did as he said, and she rose up, and went into Shiloh, and came into the house of Ahijah; and Ahijah might not see, for his eyes dimmed for eld (age). (And Jeroboam's wife did as he said, and she rose up, and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah's house; and Ahijah could not see, for his eyes had dimmed because of old age.)
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
5 Forsooth the Lord said to Ahijah, Lo! the wife of Jeroboam entereth, that she counsel (with) thee on her son, which is sick (who is sick); thou shalt speak these and these things to her. Therefore when she had entered, and had feigned herself to be that (which) she was not,
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
6 Ahijah heard the sound of the feet of her entering by the door, and he said, Enter thou, the wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thee to be another? Forsooth I am sent (to be) an hard messenger, that is, (one) telling hard things, to thee (For I am sent with a hard message for thee).
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
7 Go thou, and say to Jeroboam, The Lord God of Israel saith these things, For I enhanced thee from the midst of the people, and I gave thee (to be) duke on my people Israel (and I made thee the leader of my people Israel),
7
vade et dic Hieroboam haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel quia exaltavi te de medio populi et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israhel
8 and I cutted the realm of the house of David, and I gave it to thee, and (yet) thou were not as my servant David, that kept my behests, and followed me in all his heart, and did that that was pleasant in my sight; (and I cut away the kingdom from the house of David, and I gave it to thee, and yet thou were not like my servant David, who obeyed my commands, and followed me with all his heart, and did what was pleasing in my sight;)
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
9 but thou hast wrought evil, over all men that were before thee, and madest to thee alien gods, and welled those together, that thou shouldest excite me/thou shouldest stir me to wrathfulness, soothly thou hast cast forth me behind thy back. (but thou hast brought forth evil, more than all the men who were before thee, and madest other gods for thyself, and welded those together, so that thou shouldest stir me to anger, truly thou hast thrown me behind thy back.)
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
10 Therefore lo! I shall bring in evils upon the house of Jeroboam, and I shall smite the house of Jeroboam unto a pisser to the wall, and unto him that is imprisoned, and the last in Israel (and I shall strike down the house of Jeroboam unto a pisser on the wall, and unto him who is imprisoned, and the last in Israel); and I shall cleanse the relics, or remnants, of the house of Jeroboam, as dung is wont to be cleansed unto purity, either cleanness ;
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
11 soothly dogs shall eat them, that shall die of the house of Jeroboam in the city; and birds of the air shall devour them, that shall die in the field; for the Lord spake. (truly the dogs shall eat those of the house of Jeroboam who shall die in the city; and the birds of the air shall devour those who shall die in the field; for the Lord hath spoken.)
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
12 Therefore rise thou, and go into thine house; and in that entering of thy feet into the city, the child shall die. (And so rise thou up, and go to thy house; and with the entry of thy feet into the city, the child shall die.)
12
tu igitur surge et vade in domum tuam et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem morietur puer
13 And all Israel shall bewail him, and shall bury him; for this child alone of Jeroboam shall be borne into the sepulchre, for a good word is found on him of the Lord God of Israel, in (all) the house of Jeroboam. (And all Israel shall bewail, or mourn, him, and shall bury him; for only this child of Jeroboam shall have a proper burial, because only in him is there found any good toward the Lord God of Israel, in all the house of Jeroboam.)
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
14 Forsooth the Lord shall ordain to him(self) a king upon Israel, that shall smite the house of Jeroboam, in this day, and in this time, that is, of nigh; (And the Lord shall ordain for himself a king upon Israel, who shall strike the house of Jeroboam, on this day, and at this time, that is, very soon;)
14
constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israhel qui percutiat domum Hieroboam in hac die et in hoc tempore
15 and the Lord God of Israel shall smite, as a reed in the water is wont to be moved; and he shall draw out Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and he shall winnow them over the flood, for they made to them maumet woods, that they should stir the Lord to ire. (and the Lord God shall strike Israel, like a reed in the water is wont to be shaken; and he shall pull Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their forefathers, and he shall scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, for they made for themselves sacred groves, and poles, and stirred the Lord to anger.)
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
16 And the Lord God shall betake Israel to his enemies, for the sins of Jeroboam, that sinned, and made Israel to do sin. (And the Lord God shall abandon Israel, for the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned, and made Israel to do sin.)
16
et tradet Dominus Israhel propter peccata Hieroboam qui peccavit et peccare fecit Israhel
17 Therefore the wife of Jeroboam rose (up), and went (away), and came into Tirzah; and when she entered into the threshold of the house, the child was dead (the child died).
17
surrexit itaque uxor Hieroboam et abiit et venit in Thersa cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus puer mortuus est
18 And they buried him; and all Israel bewailed him, by the word of the Lord, which he spake in the hand of his servant, Ahijah the prophet (which he spoke by his servant, the prophet Ahijah).
18
et sepelierunt eum et planxit illum omnis Israhel iuxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiae prophetae
19 Forsooth, lo! the residue of the words of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, be written in the book of [the] words of the days of [the] kings of Israel.
19
reliqua autem verborum Hieroboam quomodo pugnaverit et quomodo regnaverit ecce scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel
20 Forsooth the days, in which Jeroboam reigned, be two and twenty years; and Jeroboam slept with his fathers, and Nadab, his son, reigned for him.
20
dies autem quibus regnavit Hieroboam viginti duo anni sunt et dormivit cum patribus suis regnavitque Nadab filius eius pro eo
21 Forsooth Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah; Rehoboam was of one and forty years, when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose of all the lineages of Israel (the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel), that he should set his name there. And the name of his mother was Naamah (the) Ammonite.
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
22 And Judah did evil before the Lord, and they stirred him to ire on all things, which their fathers did in their sins, by which they sinned. (And the people of Judah did evil before the Lord, and they stirred him to anger with their sins which they sinned, more than all the things that their forefathers had done.)
22
et fecit Iudas malum coram Domino et inritaverunt eum super omnibus quae fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis quae peccaverant
23 For also they builded to themselves altars, and images, and woods (For they also built altars for themselves, and poles, and sacred groves), on each high hill, and under each tree full of boughs.
23
aedificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi aras et statuas et lucos super omnem collem excelsum et subter omnem arborem frondosam
24 But also men of women's conditions/womanish men were in the land, and they did all the abominations of heathen men, which the Lord all-brake before the face of the sons of Israel. (And also male and female whores were in the land, serving at the hill shrines, and they did all the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the Israelites.)
24
sed et effeminati fuerunt in terra feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium quas adtrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israhel
25 Forsooth in the fifth year of the realm of Rehoboam (Now in the fifth year of Rehoboam's reign), Shishak, the king of Egypt, went up into Jerusalem;
25
in quinto autem anno regni Roboam ascendit Sesac rex Aegypti in Hierusalem
26 and he took the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the king's treasures, and he ravished all things; also he ravished the golden shields which Solomon made. (and he took away the treasures of the House of the Lord, and the king's treasures, and he took everything that he could get his hands on; and he also took away the gold shields which Solomon had made.)
26
et tulit thesauros domus Domini et thesauros regios et universa diripuit scuta quoque aurea quae fecerat Salomon
27 For which king Rehoboam made brazen shields, and gave those in(to) the hands of [the] dukes of (the) shield-makers, and of them that watched before the door of the house of the king. (And King Rehoboam replaced them with bronze shields, and gave them to the officers who guarded the door of the house of the king.)
27
pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta aerea et tradidit ea in manu ducum scutariorum et eorum qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis
28 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, they that had office to go before (they who had the duty to go before him), bare those, and (then) they bare those again to the place of armour of [the] shield-makers.
28
cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini portabant ea qui praeeundi habebant officium et postea reportabant ad armamentarium scutariorum
29 Forsooth, lo! the residue of the words of Rehoboam, and all things which he did, be written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of [the] kings of Judah.
29
reliqua autem sermonum Roboam et omnium quae fecit ecce scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda
30 And battle was betwixt Rehoboam and Jeroboam, in all (their) days.
30
fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Hieroboam cunctis diebus
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David. And the name of his mother was Naamah (the) Ammonite; and Abijam, his son, reigned for him.
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
