Primo libro dei Re 21

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Postea autem factum est hoc. Vinea erat Naboth Iez rahelitae, quae erat in Iezrahel iuxta palatium Achab regis Samariae.	1 This is what happened next: Naboth of Jezreel had a vineyard close by the palace of Ahab king ofSamaria,
2 Locutus est ergo Achab ad Naboth dicens: “ Da mihi vineam tuam, ut faciam mihi hortum holerum, quia vicina est et prope domum meam. Daboque tibi pro ea vineam meliorem aut, si tibi commodius putas, argenti pretium quanto digna est ”.	2 and Ahab said to Naboth, 'Give me your vineyard to be my vegetable garden, since it adjoins mypalace; I will give you a better vineyard for it or, if you prefer, I wil give you its value in money.'
3 Cui respondit Naboth: “ Propitius mihi sit Dominus, ne dem hereditatem patrum meorum tibi ”.	3 Naboth, however, said to Ahab, 'Yahweh forbid that I should give you my ancestral heritage!'
4 Venit ergo Achab in domum suam tristis et indignans super verbo, quod locutus fuerat ad eum Naboth Iezrahelites dicens: “ Non dabo tibi hereditatem patrum meorum ”. Et proiciens se in lectulum suum avertit faciem ad parietem et non comedit panem.	4 Ahab went home gloomy and out of temper at the words of Naboth of Jezreel, 'I wil not give you myheritage from my ancestors.' He lay down on his bed and turned his face away and refused to eat.
5 Ingressa est autem ad eum Iezabel uxor sua dixitque ei: “ Quid est hoc, unde anima tua contristata est? Et quare non comedis panem? ”.	5 His wife Jezebel came to him. 'Why are you so dispirited,' she said, 'that you refuse to eat?'
6 Qui respondit ei: “ Quia locutus sum Naboth Iezrahelitae et dixi ei: Da mihi vineam tuam, accepta pecunia; aut, si tibi placet, dabo tibi vineam pro ea. Et ille ait: “Non dabo tibi vineam meam” ”.	6 He said, 'I have been talking to Naboth of Jezreel. I said, "Give me your vineyard either for money or, ifyou prefer, for another vineyard in exchange." But he said, "I wil not give you my vineyard." '
7 Dixit ergo ad eum Iezabel uxor eius: “ Grandis auctoritatis es et bene regis regnum Israel! Surge et comede panem et aequo esto animo; ego dabo tibi vineam Naboth Iezrahelitae ”.	7 Then his wife Jezebel said, 'Some king of Israel you make! Get up, eat and take heart; I myself shalget you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.'
8 Scripsit itaque litteras ex nomine Achab et signavit eas anulo eius et misit ad maiores natu et ad optimates, qui erant in civitate eius et habitabant cum Naboth.	8 So she wrote a letter in Ahab's name and sealed it with his seal, sending the letter to the elders and notables of the city where Naboth lived.
9 Litterarum autem haec erat sententia: “ Praedicate ieiunium et sedere facite Naboth in capite populi	9 In the letter, she wrote, 'Proclaim a fast, and put Naboth in a prominent place among the people.
10 et submittite duos viros filios Belial contra eum, et testimonium dicant: “Maledixisti Deum et regem”; et educite eum et lapidate, sicque moriatur ”.	10 There confront him with a couple of scoundrels who wil accuse him as follows, "You have cursedGod and the king." Then take him outside and stone him to death.'
11 Fecerunt ergo cives eius maiores natu et optimates, qui habitabant cum eo in urbe, sicut praeceperat eis Iezabel et sicut scriptum erat in litteris, quas miserat ad eos.	11 The men of Naboth's city, the elders and notables living in his city, did what Jezebel ordered, as waswritten in the letter which she had sent him.
12 Praedicaverunt ieiunium et sedere fecerunt Naboth in capite populi;	12 They proclaimed a fast and put Naboth in a prominent place among the people.
13 et ingressi duo viri filii Belial sederunt contra eum et illi, ut viri diabolici, dixerunt contra eum testimonium coram multitudine: “ Maledixit Naboth Deum et regem ”. Quam ob rem eduxerunt eum extra civitatem et lapidibus interfecerunt;	13 The two scoundrels then came and confronted him, and the scoundrels then publicly accused Nabothas fol ows, 'Naboth has cursed God and the king.' He was then taken outside the city and stoned to death.
14 miseruntque ad Iezabel dicentes: “ Lapidatus est Naboth et mortuus est ”.	14 They then sent word to Jezebel, 'Naboth has been stoned to death.'
15 Factum est autem cum audisset Iezabel lapidatum Naboth et mortuum, locuta est ad Achab: “ Surge, posside vineam Naboth Iezrahelitae, qui noluit tibi acquiescere et dare eam, accepta pecunia; non enim vivit Naboth, sed mortuus est ”.	15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, 'Get up! Takepossession of the vineyard which Naboth of Jezreel refused to sel you, for Naboth is no longer alive, he is dead.'
16 Quod cum audisset Achab, mortuum videlicet Naboth, surrexit et descendebat in vineam Naboth Iezrahelitae, ut possideret eam.	16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth of Jezreeland take possession of it.
17 Factus est igitur sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten dicens:	17 Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite,
18 “ Surge et descende in occursum Achab regis Israel, qui est in Samaria; ecce est in vinea Naboth, ad quam descendit, ut possideat eam.	18 'Up! Go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, in Samaria. You will find him in Naboth's vineyard; he hasgone down to take possession of it.
19 Et loqueris ad eum dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Occidisti, insuper et possedisti! Et post haec addes: Haec dicit Dominus: In loco, in quo linxerunt canes sanguinem Naboth, lambent tuum quoque sanguinem ”.	19 You are to say this to him, "Yahweh says this: You have committed murder and now you usurp aswel . For this -- and Yahweh says this -- in the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs will lickyour blood too." '
20 Et ait Achab ad Eliam: “ Num invenisti me, inimice mi? ”. Qui dixit: “ Inveni, eo quod venumdatus sis, ut faceres malum in conspectu Domini.	20 Ahab said to Elijah, 'So you have caught me, O my enemy!' Elijah answered, 'I have caught you! Foryour double dealing, and since you have done what is displeasing to Yahweh,
21 Ecce ego inducam super te malum et demetam posteriora tua et interficiam de Achab quidquid masculini sexus sive impuberem sive puberem in Israel.	21 I shal now bring disaster down on you; I shal sweep away your descendants and wipe out everymanjack of the House of Ahab, fettered or free in Israel.
22 Et dabo domum tuam sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia, quia egisti, ut me ad iracundiam provocares, et peccare fecisti Israel.	22 I shal treat your House as I treated the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and of Baasha son of Ahijah,for provoking my anger and leading Israel into sin.
23 Sed et de Iezabel locutus est Dominus dicens: Canes comedent Iezabel in agro Iezrahel.	23 (Against Jezebel too Yahweh spoke these words, "The dogs wil eat Jezebel in the Field of Jezreel.")
24 Qui de Achab mortuus fuerit in civitate, comedent eum canes; qui autem mortuus fuerit in agro, comedent eum volucres caeli ”.	24 Those of Ahab's family who die in the city, the dogs wil eat; and those who die in the open country,the birds of the air wil eat.'
25 Igitur non fuit alter talis sicut Achab, qui venumdatus est, ut faceret malum in conspectu Domini; concitavit enim eum Iezabel uxor sua,	25 And indeed there never was anyone like Ahab for double dealing and for doing what is displeasing toYahweh, urged on by Jezebel his wife.
26 et abominabilis effectus est, in tantum ut sequeretur idola secundum omnia, quae fecerant Amorraei, quos consumpsit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.	26 He behaved in the most abominable way, adhering to idols, just as the Amorites had, whom Yahwehhad dispossessed for the Israelites.
27 Itaque cum audisset Achab sermones istos, scidit vestem suam et operuit cilicio carnem suam ieiunavitque et dormivit in sacco et ambulabat demisso capite.	27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his garments and put sackcloth next to his skin and fasted; heslept in the sackcloth; he walked with slow steps.
28 Factus est autem sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten dicens:	28 Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite,
29 Nonne vidisti humiliatum Achab coram me? Quia igitur humiliatus est mei causa, non inducam malum in diebus eius, sed in diebus filii sui inferam malum domui eius ”.	29 'Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Since he has humbled himself before me,I shal not bring the disaster in his days; I shal bring the disaster down on his House in his son's days.'
