2 Kings 16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign.	1 Anno septimo decimo Phacee filii Romeliae regnavit Achaz filius Ioatham regis Iudae.
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, as his father David had done,	2 Viginti annorum erat Achaz, cum regnare coepisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem; non fecit, quod erat placitum in conspectu Domini Dei sui, sicut David pater eius,
3 but he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. He even burned his son as an offering, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.	3 sed ambulavit in via regum Israel. Insuper et filium suum consecravit transferens per ignem secundum abominationes gentium, quas dissipavit Dominus coram filiis Israel;
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.	4 immolabat quoque et adolebat in excelsis et in collibus et sub omni ligno frondoso.
5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to wage war on Jerusalem, and they besieged Ahaz but could not conquer him.	5 Tunc ascendit Rasin rex Syriae et Phacee filius Romeliae rex Israel in Ierusalem ad proeliandum; cumque obsiderent Achaz, non valuerunt superare eum.
6 At that time the king of Edom recovered Elath for Edom, and drove the men of Judah from Elath; and the Edomites came to Elath, where they dwell to this day.	6 In tempore illo restituit Rasin rex Syriae Ailath ad Edom et eiecit Iudaeos de Ailath; et Idumaei venerunt in Ailath et habitaverunt ibi usque in diem hanc.
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son. Come up, and rescue me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me."	7 Misit autem Achaz nuntios ad Theglathphalasar regem Assyriorum dicens: “ Servus tuus et filius tuus ego sum. Ascende et salvum me fac de manu regis Syriae et de manu regis Israel, qui consurrexerunt adversum me ”.
8 Ahaz also took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent a present to the king of Assyria.	8 Et cum collegisset argentum et aurum, quod invenire potuit in domo Domini et in thesauris regis, misit regi Assyriorum munera.
9 And the king of Assyria hearkened to him; the king of Assyria marched up against Damascus, and took it, carrying its people captive to Kir, and he killed Rezin.	9 Qui et acquievit voluntati eius. Ascendit enim rex Assyriorum in Damascum et vastavit eam et transtulit habitatores eius in Cir; Rasin autem interfecit.
10 When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, he saw the altar that was at Damascus. And King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest a model of the altar, and its pattern, exact in all its details.	10 Perrexitque rex Achaz in occursum Theglathphalasar regis Assyriorum in Damascum. Cumque vidisset altare Damasci, misit rex Achaz ad Uriam sacerdotem exemplar eius et descriptionem omnis operis eius.
11 And Uriah the priest built the altar; in accordance with all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Uriah the priest made it, before King Ahaz arrived from Damascus.	11 Exstruxitque Urias sacerdos altare; iuxta omnia, quae miserat rex Achaz de Damasco, ita fecit Urias sacerdos, donec veniret rex Achaz de Damasco.
12 And when the king came from Damascus, the king viewed the altar. Then the king drew near to the altar, and went up on it,	12 Cumque venisset rex de Damasco, vidit altare et accessit ad illud ascenditque
13 and burned his burnt offering and his cereal offering, and poured his drink offering, and threw the blood of his peace offerings upon the altar.	13 et adolevit holocausta sua et oblationes et libavit libamina et fudit sanguinem pacificorum suorum super altare.
14 And the bronze altar which was before the LORD he removed from the front of the house, from the place between his altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of his altar.	14 Porro altare aeneum, quod erat coram Domino, transtulit de facie templi et de loco inter altare et templum Domini posuitque illud ex latere altaris ad aquilonem.
15 And King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, "Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening cereal offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his cereal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their cereal offering, and their drink offering; and throw upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by."	15 Praecepit quoque rex Achaz Uriae sacerdoti dicens: “ Super altare maius offer holocaustum matutinum et oblationem vespertinam et holocaustum regis et oblationem eius et holocaustum universi populi terrae et oblationem eorum et libamina eorum; et omnem sanguinem holocausti et universum sanguinem sacrificii super illud effundes. De altari vero aeneo erit mihi deliberandum ”.
16 Uriah the priest did all this, as King Ahaz commanded.	16 Fecit igitur Urias sacerdos iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat rex Achaz.
17 And King Ahaz cut off the frames of the stands, and removed the laver from them, and he took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pediment of stone.	17 Excidit autem rex Achaz limbos basium et removit luterem, qui erat desuper, et mare deposuit de bobus aeneis, qui sustentabant illud, et posuit super pavimentum stratum lapide.
18 And the covered way for the sabbath which had been built inside the palace, and the outer entrance for the king he removed from the house of the LORD, because of the king of Assyria.	18 Musach (id est Porticum) quoque sabbati, quod aedificatum erat in templo, et ingressum regis exterius convertit in templo Domini propter regem Assyriorum.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?	19 Reliqua autem gestorum Achaz, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.	20 Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David; et regnavit Ezechias filius eius pro eo.
