Chapter Text

1

And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

Cumque roboratum fuisset regnum Roboam et confortatum, dereliquit legem Domini, et omnis Israël cum eo.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία Ροβοαμ καὶ ὡς κατεκρατήθη ἐγκατέλιπεν τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ μετ' αὐτοῦ

2

And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)

Anno autem quinto regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Ægypti in Jerusalem (quia peccaverant Domino)

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ροβοαμ ἀνέβη Σουσακιμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ ὅτι ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον κυρίου

3

With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.

cum mille ducentis curribus, et sexaginta millibus equitum : nec erat numerus vulgi quod venerat cum eo ex Ægypto, Libyes scilicet, et Troglodytæ, et Æthiopes.

ἐν χιλίοις καὶ διακοσίοις ἅρμασιν καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάσιν ἵππων καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμὸς τοῦ πλήθους τοῦ ἐλθόντος μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου Λίβυες Τρωγλοδύται καὶ Αἰθίοπες

4

And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.

Cepitque civitates munitissimas in Juda, et venit usque in Jerusalem.

καὶ κατεκράτησαν τῶν πόλεων τῶν ὀχυρῶν αἳ ἦσαν ἐν Ιουδα καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

5

And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.

Semeias autem propheta ingressus est ad Roboam, et principes Juda qui congregati fuerant in Jerusalem, fugientes Sesac : dixitque ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus : Vos reliquistis me, et ego reliqui vos in manu Sesac.

καὶ Σαμαιας ὁ προφήτης ἦλθεν πρὸς Ροβοαμ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ιουδα τοὺς συναχθέντας εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἀπὸ προσώπου Σουσακιμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με κἀγὼ ἐγκαταλείψω ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ Σουσακιμ

6

And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.

Consternatique principes Israël et rex, dixerunt : Justus est Dominus.

καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπαν δίκαιος ὁ κύριος

7

And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.

Cumque vidisset Dominus quod humiliati essent, factus est sermo Domini ad Semeiam, dicens : Quia humiliati sunt, non disperdam eos, daboque eis pauxillum auxilii, et non stillabit furor meus super Jerusalem per manum Sesac.

καὶ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν κύριον ὅτι ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαιαν λέγων ἐνετράπησαν οὐ καταφθερῶ αὐτούς καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς ὡς μικρὸν εἰς σωτηρίαν καὶ οὐ μὴ στάξῃ ὁ θυμός μου ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

8

But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.

Verumtamen servient ei, ut sciant distantiam servitutis meæ, et servitutis regni terrarum.

ὅτι ἔσονται εἰς παῖδας καὶ γνώσονται τὴν δουλείαν μου καὶ τὴν δουλείαν τῆς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς

9

So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,

Recessit itaque Sesac rex Ægypti ab Jerusalem, sublatis thesauris domus Domini et domus regis : omniaque secum tulit, et clypeos aureos quos fecerat Salomon:

καὶ ἀνέβη Σουσακιμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως τὰ πάντα ἔλαβεν καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς θυρεοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς οὓς ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων

10

Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.

pro quibus fecit rex æneos, et tradidit illos principibus scutariorum, qui custodiebant vestibulum palatii.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Ροβοαμ θυρεοὺς χαλκοῦς ἀντ' αὐτῶν καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ' αὐτὸν Σουσακιμ ἄρχοντας παρατρεχόντων τοὺς φυλάσσοντας τὸν πυλῶνα τοῦ βασιλέως

11

And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.

Cumque introiret rex domum Domini, veniebant scutarii et tollebant eos, iterumque referebant eos ad armamentarium suum.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ φυλάσσοντες καὶ οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ οἱ ἐπιστρέφοντες εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῶν παρατρεχόντων

12

But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.

Verumtamen quia humiliati sunt, aversa est ab eis ira Domini, nec deleti sunt penitus : siquidem et in Juda inventa sunt opera bona.

καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐντραπῆναι αὐτὸν ἀπεστράφη ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ὀργὴ κυρίου καὶ οὐκ εἰς καταφθορὰν εἰς τέλος καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ιουδα ἦσαν λόγοι ἀγαθοί

13

King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.

Confortatus est ergo rex Roboam in Jerusalem, atque regnavit : quadraginta autem et unius anni erat cum regnare cœpisset, et decem et septem annis regnavit in Jerusalem, urbe quam elegit Dominus ut confirmaret nomen suum ibi, de cunctis tribubus Israël : nomen autem matris ejus Naama Ammanitis.

καὶ κατίσχυσεν Ροβοαμ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν καὶ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐτῶν Ροβοαμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἑπτακαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἐν τῇ πόλει ᾗ ἐξελέξατο κύριος ἐπονομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Νοομμα ἡ Αμμανῖτις

14

But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.

Fecit autem malum, et non præparavit cor suum ut quæreret Dominum.

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρόν ὅτι οὐ κατεύθυνεν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον

15

Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.

Opera vero Roboam prima et novissima scripta sunt in libris Semeiæ prophetæ, et Addo videntis, et diligenter exposita : pugnaveruntque adversum se Roboam et Jeroboam cunctis diebus.

καὶ λόγοι Ροβοαμ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Σαμαια τοῦ προφήτου καὶ Αδδω τοῦ ὁρῶντος καὶ πράξεις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπολέμει Ροβοαμ τὸν Ιεροβοαμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

16

And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.

Et dormivit Roboam cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in civitate David : et regnavit Abia filius ejus pro eo.

καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ροβοαμ καὶ ἐτάφη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Αβια υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ
