The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 igitur in octavodecimo anno regni Hieroboam filii Nabath regnavit Abiam super Iudam
1
In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.
2 tribus annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Maacha filia Absalom
2
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.
3 ambulavitque in omnibus peccatis patris sui quae fecerat ante eum nec erat cor eius perfectum cum Domino Deo suo sicut cor David patris eius
3
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.
4 sed propter David dedit ei Dominus Deus suus lucernam in Hierusalem ut suscitaret filium eius post eum et staret Hierusalem
4
Nevertheless for David's sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him and by establishing Jerusalem;
5 eo quod fecisset David rectum in oculis Domini et non declinasset ab omnibus quae praeceperat ei cunctis diebus vitae suae excepto sermone Uriae Hetthei
5
because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 attamen bellum fuit inter Roboam et inter Hieroboam omni tempore vitae eius
6
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7 reliqua autem sermonum Abiam et omnia quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda fuitque proelium inter Abiam et inter Hieroboam
7
Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 et dormivit Abiam cum patribus suis et sepelierunt eum in civitate David regnavitque Asa filius eius pro eo
8
So Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place.
9 in anno ergo vicesimo Hieroboam regis Israhel regnavit Asa rex Iuda
9
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.
10 et quadraginta uno anno regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Maacha filia Absalom
10
And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother's name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.
11 et fecit Asa rectum ante conspectum Domini sicut David pater eius
11
Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did his father David.
12 et abstulit effeminatos de terra purgavitque universas sordes idolorum quae fecerant patres eius
12
And he banished the perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 insuper et Maacham matrem suam amovit ne esset princeps in sacris Priapi et in luco eius quem consecraverat subvertitque specum eius et confregit simulacrum turpissimum et conbusit in torrente Cedron
13
Also he removed Maachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and burned it by the Brook Kidron.
14 excelsa autem non abstulit verumtamen cor Asa perfectum erat cum Deo cunctis diebus suis
14
But the high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa's heart was loyal to the Lord all his days.
15 et intulit ea quae sanctificaverat pater suus et voverat in domum Domini argentum et aurum et vasa
15
He also brought into the house of the Lord the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.
16 bellum autem erat inter Asa et Baasa regem Israhel cunctis diebus eorum
16
Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
17 ascendit quoque Baasa rex Israhel in Iudam et aedificavit Rama ut non possit quispiam egredi vel ingredi de parte Asa regis Iudae
17
And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
18 tollens itaque Asa omne argentum et aurum quod remanserat in thesauris domus Domini et in thesauris domus regiae dedit illud in manu servorum suorum et misit ad Benadad filium Tabremmon filii Ezion regem Syriae qui habitabat in Damasco dicens
18
Then Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the house of the Lord and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
19 foedus est inter me et te et inter patrem meum et patrem tuum ideo misi tibi munera argentum et aurum et peto ut venias et irritum facias foedus quod habes cum Baasa rege Israhel et recedat a me
19
"Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a present of silver and gold. Come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me."
20 adquiescens Benadad regi Asa misit principes exercitus sui in civitates Israhel et percusserunt Ahion et Dan et Abel domum Maacha et universam Cenneroth omnem scilicet terram Nepthalim
20
So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. He attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maachah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 quod cum audisset Baasa intermisit aedificare Rama et reversus est in Thersa
21
Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah, and remained in Tirzah.
22 rex autem Asa nuntium misit in omnem Iudam nemo sit excusatus et tulerunt lapides Rama et ligna eius quibus aedificaverat Baasa et extruxit de eis rex Asa Gaba Beniamin et Maspha
22
Then King Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted. And they took away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 reliqua autem omnium sermonum Asa et universae fortitudines eius et cuncta quae fecit et civitates quas extruxit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda verumtamen in tempore senectutis suae doluit pedes
23
The rest of all the acts of Asa, all his might, all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 et dormivit cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David patris sui regnavitque Iosaphat filius eius pro eo
24
So Asa rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
25 Nadab vero filius Hieroboam regnavit super Israhel anno secundo Asa regis Iuda regnavitque super Israhel duobus annis
25
Now Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini et ambulavit in viis patris sui et in peccatis eius quibus peccare fecit Israhel
26
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.
27 insidiatus est autem ei Baasa filius Ahia de domo Isachar et percussit eum in Gebbethon quae est urbs Philisthinorum siquidem Nadab et omnis Israhel obsidebant Gebbethon
27
Then Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha killed him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
28 interfecit igitur illum Baasa in anno tertio Asa regis Iuda et regnavit pro eo
28
Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
29 cumque regnasset percussit omnem domum Hieroboam non dimisit ne unam quidem animam de semine eius donec deleret eum iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu servi sui Ahiae Silonitis
29
And it was so, when he became king, that he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord which He had spoken by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 propter peccata Hieroboam quae peccaverat et quibus peccare fecerat Israhel et propter delictum quo inritaverat Dominum Deum Israhel
30
because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he had sinned and by which he had made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he had provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger.
31 reliqua autem sermonum Nadab et omnia quae operatus est nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel
31
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 fuitque bellum inter Asa et Baasa regem Israhel cunctis diebus eorum
32
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 anno tertio Asa regis Iuda regnavit Baasa filius Ahia super omnem Israhel in Thersa viginti quattuor annis
33
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.
34 et fecit malum coram Domino ambulavitque in via Hieroboam et in peccatis eius quibus peccare fecit Israhel
34
He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.
