Primo libro dei Re 11

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Rex autem Salomon amavit mulieres alienigenas multas, filiam quoque pharaonis et Moabitidas et Ammonitidas, Idumaeas et Sidonias et Hetthaeas,	1 And king Solomon loved many strange women besides the daughter of Pharao, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Edom, and of Sidon, and of the Hethites:
2 de gentibus, super quibus dixit Dominus filiis Israel: “ Non ingrediemini ad eas, neque de illis ingredientur ad vestras; certissime enim avertent corda vestra, ut sequamini deos earum ”. His itaque copulatus est Salomon amore;	2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come in to yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love.
3 fueruntque ei uxores quasi reginae septingentae et concubinae trecentae, et averterunt mulieres cor eius.	3 And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart.
4 Cumque iam esset senex, depravatum est cor eius per mulieres, ut sequeretur deos alienos; nec erat cor eius perfectum cum Domino Deo suo sicut cor David patris eius,	4 And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5 sed colebat Salomon Astharthen, deam Sidoniorum, et Melchom idolum Ammonitarum.	5 But Solomon worshipped Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch the idol of the ammonites.
6 Fecitque Salomon quod non placuerat coram Domino et non adimplevit ut sequeretur Dominum sicut David pater eius.	6 And Solomon did that which was net pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David his father.
7 Tunc aedificavit Salomon fanum Chamos idolo Moab in monte, qui est contra Ierusalem, et Melchom idolo filiorum Ammon;	7 Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch the idol of the children of Ammon.
8 atque in hunc modum fecit universis uxoribus suis alienigenis, quae adolebant et immolabant diis suis.	8 And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods.
9 Igitur iratus est Dominus Salomoni, quod aversa esset mens eius a Domino, Deo Israel, qui apparuerat ei bis	9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his mind was turned away from the Lord the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10 et praeceperat de verbo hoc, ne sequeretur deos alienos; et non custodivit, quae mandavit ei Dominus.	10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.
11 Dixit itaque Dominus Salomoni: “ Quia habuisti hoc apud te et non custodisti pactum meum et praecepta mea, quae mandavi tibi, disrumpens scindam regnum tuum a te et dabo illud servo tuo.	11 The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy servant.
12 Verumtamen in diebus tuis non faciam propter David patrem tuum; de manu filii tui scindam illud.	12 Nevertheless in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
13 Nec totum regnum auferam, sed tribum unam dabo filio tuo propter David servum meum et Ierusalem, quam elegi ”.	13 Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.
14 Suscitavit autem Dominus adversarium Salomoni Adad Idumaeum, qui erat de semine regio, in Edom.	14 And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad the Edomite of the king's seed, in Edom.
15 Cum enim vicisset David Idumaeam, et ascendisset Ioab princeps militiae ad sepeliendum eos, qui fuerant interfecti, et occidisset omne masculinum in Idumaea	15 For when David was in Edom, and Joab the general of the army was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom,
16 — sex enim mensibus ibi moratus est Ioab et omnis Israel, donec interimerent omne masculinum in Idumaea —	16 (For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom,)
17 fugit Adad ipse et viri Idumaei de servis patris eius cum eo, ut ingrederetur Aegyptum; erat autem Adad puer parvulus.	17 Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites, of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy.
18 Cumque surrexissent de Madian, venerunt in Pharan tuleruntque secum viros de Pharan et introierunt Aegyptum ad pharaonem regem Aegypti, qui dedit ei domum et cibos constituit et terram delegavit.	18 And they arose out of Madian, and came into Pharan, and they took men with them from Pharan, and went into Egypt to Pharao the king of Egypt: who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and assigned him land.
19 Et invenit Adad gratiam coram pharao valde, in tantum ut daret ei uxorem sororem uxoris suae germanam Taphnes reginae.	19 And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife, the own sister of his wife Taphnes the queen.
20 Genuitque ei soror Taphnes Genubath filium et ablactavit eum Taphnes in domo pharaonis, eratque Genubath habitans apud pharaonem cum filiis eius.	20 And the sister of Taphnes bore him his son Genubath, and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children.
21 Cumque audisset Adad in Aegypto dormisse David cum patribus suis et mortuum esse Ioab principem militiae, dixit pharaoni: “ Dimitte me, ut vadam in terram meam ”.	21 And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the general of the army was dead, he add to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
22 Dixitque ei pharao: “ Qua enim re apud me indiges, ut quaeras ire ad terram tuam? ”. At ille respondit: “ Nulla; sed obsecro, ut dimittas me ”.	22 And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing: yet I beseech thee to let me go.
23 Suscitavit quoque Deus Salomoni adversarium Razon filium Eliada, qui fugerat ab Adadezer rege Soba domino suo.	23 God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon the son of Eliada, 'who had fled from his master Adarezer the king of Soba:
24 Et congregavit ad se viros et factus est princeps turmae, cum interficeret eos David; abieruntque Damascum et habitaverunt ibi et regnaverunt in Damasco.	24 And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus.
25 Eratque adversarius Israeli cunctis diebus Salomonis; et hoc cum malo, quod erat Adad. Et detestatus est Israel regnavitque in Syria.	25 And he was an adversary to Israel, all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel, and he reigned in Syria.
26 Ieroboam quoque filius Nabat, Ephrathaeus de Sareda, servus Salomonis, cuius mater erat nomine Sarva mulier vidua, levavit manum contra regem.	26 Jeroboam also the son of Nabat an Ephrathite of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king.
27 Et haec causa rebellionis adversus eum: Salomon aedificavit Mello et coaequavit voraginem civitatis David patris sui.	27 And this is the cause of his rebellion against him, for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David his father.
28 Erat autem Ieroboam vir fortis et strenuus; vidensque Salomon adulescentem industrium constituerat eum praefectum super labores universae domus Ioseph.	28 And Jeroboam was a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all the house of Joseph.
29 Factum est igitur in tempore illo, ut Ieroboam egrederetur de Ierusalem, et inveniret eum Ahias Silonites propheta in via opertus pallio novo; erant autem duo tantum in agro.	29 So it came to paste at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the held.
30 Apprehendensque Ahias pallium suum novum, quo coopertus erat, scidit in duodecim partes	30 And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:
31 et ait ad Ieroboam: “ Tolle tibi decem scissuras; haec enim dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Ecce ego scindam regnum de manu Salomonis et dabo tibi decem tribus.	31 ,31And he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes.
32 Porro una tribus remanebit ei propter servum meum David et Ierusalem civitatem, quam elegi ex omnibus tribubus Israel;	32 But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant David, and Jerusalem the city, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:
33 eo quod dereliquerint me et adoraverint Astharthen deam Sidoniorum et Chamos deum Moab et Melchom deum filiorum Ammon et non ambulaverint in viis meis, ut facerent iustitiam coram me et praecepta mea et iudicia sicut David pater eius.	33 Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos the god of Moab, and Moloch the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments as did David his father.
34 Nec auferam omne regnum de manu eius, sed ducem ponam eum cunctis diebus vitae suae propter David servum meum, quem elegi, qui custodivit mandata mea et praecepta mea.	34 Yet I will not take away all the kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.
35 Auferam autem regnum de manu filii eius et dabo tibi decem tribus;	35 But I will take away the kingdom out of his son's hand and will give thee ten tribes:
36 filio autem eius dabo tribum unam, ut remaneat lucerna David servo meo cunctis diebus coram me in Ierusalem civitate, quam elegi, ut esset nomen meum ibi.	36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me always in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there.
37 Te autem assumam, et regnabis super omnia, quae desiderat anima tua, erisque rex super Israel.	37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
38 Si igitur audieris omnia, quae praecepero tibi, et ambulaveris in viis meis et feceris, quod rectum est coram me custodiens mandata mea et praecepta mea, sicut fecit David servus meus, ero tecum et aedificabo tibi domum stabilem, quomodo aedificavi David, et tradam tibi Israel	38 If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David my servant did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee:
39 et affligam semen David super hoc, verumtamen non cunctis diebus ”.	39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever.
40 Voluit ergo Salomon interficere Ieroboam, qui surrexit et aufugit in Aegyptum ad Sesac regem Aegypti et fuit in Aegypto usque ad mortem Salomonis.	40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt to Sesac the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.
41 Reliqua autem gestorum Salomonis, omnia, quae fecit, et sapientia eius, ecce universa scripta sunt in libro gestorum Salomonis;	41 And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.
42 dies autem, quos regnavit Salomon in Ierusalem super omnem Israel, quadraginta anni sunt.	42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, were forty years.
43 Dormivitque Salomon cum patribus suis et sepultus est in civitate David patris sui; regnavitque Roboam filius eius pro eo.	43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
