1 In tempore illo aegrotavit Abia filius Ieroboam,	1 In that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.
2 dixitque Ieroboam uxori suae: “ Surge et commuta habitum, ne cognoscaris quod sis uxor Ieroboam, et vade in Silo, ubi est Ahias propheta, qui locutus est mihi quod regnaturus essem super populum hunc.	2 And Jeroboam said to his wife: “Rise up, and change clothing, so that you will not be recognized to be the wife of Jeroboam. And go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah is, who said to me that I should reign over this people.
3 Tolle quoque in manu tua decem panes et crustula et vas mellis et vade ad illum: ipse indicabit tibi quid eventurum sit puero ”.	3 Also, take in your hand ten loaves, and dried bread, and a container of honey, and go to him. For he will reveal to you what will happen to this boy.”
4 Fecit, ut dixerat, uxor Ieroboam et consurgens abiit in Silo et venit in domum Ahiae; at ille non poterat videre, quia caligaverant oculi eius prae senectute.	4 The wife of Jeroboam did just as he had said. And rising up, she went away to Shiloh. And she arrived at the house of Ahijah. But he was unable to see, because his eyes had dimmed due to old age.
5 Dixerat autem Dominus ad Ahiam: “ Ecce uxor Ieroboam ingredietur, ut consulat te super filio suo, qui aegrotat; haec et haec loqueris ei. Cum intret, simulabit se peregrinam esse ”.	5 Then the Lord said to Ahijah: “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam enters, so that she may consult you over her son, who is ill. You shall say one thing and another to her.” Therefore, as she was entering, not presenting herself to be who she was,
6 Cum ergo audiret Ahias sonitum pedum eius introeuntis per ostium, ait: “ Ingredere, uxor Ieroboam. Quare aliam te esse simulas? Ego autem missus sum ad te durus nuntius.	6 Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, entering through the door. And he said: “Enter, O wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? But I have been sent to you with harsh news.
7 Vade et dic Ieroboam: “Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Quia exaltavi te de medio populi et dedi te ducem super populum meum Israel	7 Go, and tell Jeroboam: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Although I exalted you from the midst of the people, and I granted to you to be the leader over my people Israel,
8 et scidi regnum a domo David et dedi illud tibi, et non fuisti sicut servus meus David, qui custodivit mandata mea et secutus est me in toto corde suo faciens quod placitum esset in conspectu meo,	8 and I tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and I gave it to you, yet you have not been like David, my servant, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with his whole heart, doing what was pleasing in my sight.
9 sed operatus es mala super omnes, qui fuerunt ante te, et fecisti tibi deos alienos et conflatiles, ut me ad iracundiam provocares, me autem proiecisti post tergum tuum:	9 Instead, you have worked evil beyond all those who were before you. And you have made for yourself strange gods and molten images, so that you provoke me to anger. And you have cast me behind your back.
10 idcirco ecce ego inducam mala super domum Ieroboam et percutiam de Ieroboam quidquid masculini sexus, impuberem et puberem in Israel; et mundabo reliquias domus Ieroboam, sicut mundari solet fimus usque ad purum.	10 For this reason, behold, I will lead evils over the house of Jeroboam, and I will strike down from Jeroboam that which urinates against a wall, and that which is lame, and that which is last in Israel. And I will cleanse that which remains of the house of Jeroboam, just as dung is usually cleaned away, until there is purity.
11 Qui mortui fuerint de Ieroboam in civitate, comedent eos canes; qui autem mortui fuerint in agro, vorabunt eos aves caeli, quia Dominus locutus est.	11 Those who will have died of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will devour them. And those who will have died in the field, the birds of the heavens will devour them. For the Lord has spoken.’
12 Tu igitur surge et vade in domum tuam, et in ipso introitu pedum tuorum in urbem morietur puer,	12 Therefore, you must rise up, and go to your house. And in the city, at the very entrance of your feet, the boy will die.
13 et planget eum omnis Israel et sepeliet; iste enim solus inferetur de Ieroboam in sepulcrum, quia inventum est in eo, quod bonum erat Domino, Deo Israel, in domo Ieroboam.	13 And all of Israel will mourn him, and will bury him. For he alone of Jeroboam shall be brought into a sepulcher. For concerning him, there has been found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Constituet autem sibi Dominus regem super Israel, qui percutiat domum Ieroboam.	14 But the Lord has appointed for himself a king over Israel, who will strike down the house of Jeroboam, in this day and in this time.
15 Et percutiet Dominus Israel, ut moveatur sicut arundo in aqua, et evellet Israel de terra bona hac, quam dedit patribus eorum; et ventilabit eos trans Flumen, quia fecerunt sibi palos, ut irritarent Dominum.	15 And the Lord God shall strike Israel, just as a reed is usually shaken in the water. And he will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers. And he will winnow them beyond the river. For they have made for themselves sacred groves, so that they have provoked the Lord.
16 Et tradet Dominus Israel propter peccata Ieroboam, qui peccavit et peccare fecit Israel” ”.	16 And the Lord will hand over Israel, because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and caused Israel to sin.”
17 Surrexit itaque uxor Ieroboam et abiit et venit in Thersa; cumque illa ingrederetur limen domus, puer mortuus est.	17 And so, the wife of Jeroboam rose up, and she went away. And she arrived at Tirzah. And as she was entering the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 Et sepelierunt eum, et planxit illum omnis Israel iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu servi sui Ahiae prophetae.	18 And they buried him, and all of Israel mourned for him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahijah, the prophet.
19 Reliqua autem gestorum Ieroboam, quomodo pugnaverit et quomodo regnaverit, ecce scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Israel.	19 Now the rest of the words of Jeroboam, the manner in which he fought, and the manner in which he reigned, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.
20 Dies autem, quibus regnavit Ieroboam, viginti duo anni sunt; et dormivit cum patribus suis. Regnavitque Nadab filius eius pro eo.	20 And the days during which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years. And he slept with his fathers. And Nadab, his son, reigned in his place.
21 Porro Roboam filius Salomonis regnavit in Iuda. Quadraginta et unius anni erat Roboam, cum regnare coepisset, et decem et septem annos regnavit in Ierusalem civitate, quam elegit Dominus, ut poneret nomen suum ibi ex omnibus tribubus Israel. Nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanites.	21 Now Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose, out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might place his name there. And the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
22 Et fecit Iuda malum coram Domino, et irritaverunt eum super omnibus, quae fecerant patres eorum in peccatis suis, quae peccaverant;	22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked him beyond all that their fathers had done, by their sins that they committed.
23 aedificaverunt enim et ipsi sibi excelsa et lapides et palos super omnem collem excelsum et subter omnem arborem frondosam.	23 For they, too, built for themselves altars, and statues, and sacred groves, upon every high hill and under every leafy tree.
24 Sed et prostibula fuerunt in terra; feceruntque omnes abominationes gentium, quas attrivit Dominus ante faciem filiorum Israel.	24 Moreover, the effeminate were in the land, and they committed all the abominations of the peoples that the Lord had destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
25 In quinto autem anno regni Roboam ascendit Sesac rex Aegypti in Ierusalem	25 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem.
26 et tulit thesauros domus Domini et thesauros regios et universa diripuit, scuta quoque aurea omnia, quae fecerat Salomon.	26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the royal treasures, and he plundered everything, including the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
27 Pro quibus fecit rex Roboam scuta aerea et tradidit ea in manu ducum cursorum, qui excubabant ante ostium domus regis.	27 In place of these, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and he delivered them into the hand of the commanders of the shield bearers, and of those who were keeping the night watch before the gate of the king’s house.
28 Cumque ingrederetur rex in domum Domini, portabant ea cursores et postea reportabant ad armamentarium cursorum.	28 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, these were carried by those who held the office to go before him. And afterward, they carried them back to the armory of the shield bearers.
29 Reliqua autem gestorum Roboam et omnia, quae fecit, ecce scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae.	29 Now the rest of the words of Rehoboam, and all that he did, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah.
30 Fuitque bellum inter Roboam et Ieroboam cunctis diebus.	30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, during all the days.
31 Dormivit itaque Roboam cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David; nomen autem matris eius Naama Ammanites. Et regnavit Abiam filius eius pro eo.	31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
