2 Chronicles 12

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 After Rehoboam had consolidated his rule and had become powerful, he abandoned the law of the LORD, he and all Israel with him.	1 Cumque roboratum fuisset regnum Roboam et conforta tum, dereliquit legem Domini, et omnis Israel cum eo.
2 Thus it happened that in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem, for they had been unfaithful to the LORD.	2 Anno autem quinto regni Roboam ascendit Sesac rex Aegypti in Ierusalem — quia peccaverunt Domino —
3 He came up with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen, and there was no counting the army that came with him from Egypt--Libyans, Sukkites and Ethiopians.	3 cum mille ducentis curribus et sexaginta milibus equitum, nec erat numerus vulgi, quod venerat cum eo ex Aegypto, Libyes scilicet et Socciitae et Aethiopes.
4 They captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.	4 Cepitque civitates munitissimas in Iuda et venit usque Ierusalem.
5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the commanders of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them: "Thus says the LORD: 'You have abandoned me, and therefore I have abandoned you to the power of Shishak.'"	5 Semeias autem propheta ingressus est ad Roboam et principes Iudae, qui congregati fuerant in Ierusalem fugientes Sesac, dixitque ad eos: “ Haec dicit Dominus: Vos reliquistis me, et ego reliqui vos in manu Sesac ”.
6 However, the commanders of Israel and the king humbled themselves saying, "The LORD is just."	6 Humiliatique principes Israel et rex dixerunt: “ Iustus est Dominus! ”.
7 When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah: "Because they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them; I will give them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem through Shishak.	7 Cumque vidisset Dominus quod humiliati essent, factus est sermo Domini ad Semeiam dicens: “ Quia humiliati sunt, non disperdam eos daboque eis mox effugium, et non effundetur furor meus super Ierusalem per manum Sesac.
8 But they shall be his servants, that they may know what it is to serve me and what it is to serve earthly kingdoms."	8 Verumtamen servient ei, ut sciant distantiam servitutis meae et servitutis regni terrarum ”.
9 Therefore Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem and carried off the treasures of the temple of the LORD and of the king's palace. He took everything, including the gold bucklers that Solomon had made.	9 Ascendit itaque Sesac rex Aegypti in Ierusalem, sublatis thesauris domus Domini et domus regis; omniaque secum tulit et clipeos aureos, quos fecerat Salomon.
10 (To replace them, King Rehoboam made bronze bucklers, which he entrusted to the officers of the guard on duty at the entrance of the royal palace.	10 Pro quibus fecit rex Roboam aeneos et tradidit illos principibus cursorum, qui custodiebant vestibulum palatii.
11 Whenever the king visited the temple of the LORD, the troops would come bearing them, and then they would return them to the guardroom.)	11 Cumque introiret rex domum Domini, veniebant cursores et tollebant eos; iterumque referebant eos ad armamentarium suum.
12 Because he had humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned from him so that it did not destroy him completely; and in Judah, moreover, good deeds were found.	12 Verumtamen, quia humiliatus est, aversa est ab eo ira Domini, nec deletus est penitus; siquidem et in Iuda inventa sunt opera bona.
13 King Rehoboam consolidated his power in Jerusalem and continued to rule; he was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city in which, out of all the tribes of Israel, the LORD chose to be honored. Rehoboam's mother was named Naamah, an Ammonite.	13 Confortatus est igitur rex Roboam in Ierusalem atque regnavit. Quadraginta autem et unius anni erat, cum regnare coepisset, et decem septemque annis regnavit in Ierusalem urbe, quam elegit Dominus, ut confirmaret nomen suum ibi de cunctis tribubus Israel. Nomenque matris eius Naama Ammanitis.
14 He did evil, for he had not truly resolved to seek the LORD.	14 Fecit autem malum et non praeparavit cor suum, ut quaereret Dominum.
15 The acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are written, as is well known, in the history of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer (his family record). There was war continually between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.	15 Opera vero Roboam prima et novissima scripta sunt in verbis Semeiae prophetae et Addo videntis, genealogia quoque et bella, quae erant inter Roboam et Ieroboam cunctis diebus.
16 Rehoboam rested with his ancestors; he was buried in the City of David. His son Abijah succeeded him as king.	16 Et dormivit Roboam cum patribus suis sepultusque est in civitate David; et regnavit Abia filius eius pro eo.
