Primo libro dei Re 22

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Transierunt igitur tres anni absque bello inter Syriam et Israel.	1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 In anno autem tertio descendit Iosaphat rex ludae ad regem Israel,	2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 dixitque rex Israel ad servos suos: “ Ignoratis quod nostra sit Ramoth Galaad et neglegimus tollere eam de manu regis Syriae? ”.	3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 Et ait ad Iosaphat: “ Veniesne mecum ad proeliandum in Ramoth Galaad? ”.	4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
5 Dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israel: “ Sicut ego sum, ita et tu; populus meus et populus tuus unum sunt, et equites mei et equites tui ”. Dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israel: “ Quaere, oro te, hodie sermonem Domini ”.	5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
6 Congregavit ergo rex Israel prophetas quadringentos circiter viros et ait ad eos: “ Ire debeo in Ramoth Galaad ad bellandum, an quiescere? ”. Qui responderunt: “ Ascende, et dabit Dominus in manu regis ”.	6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 Dixit autem Iosaphat: “ Non est hic et alius propheta Domini, ut interrogemus per eum? ”.	7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?
8 Et ait rex Israel ad Iosaphat: “ Remansit vir unus, per quem possimus interrogare Dominum; sed ego odi eum, quia non prophetat mihi bonum sed malum: Michaeas filius Iemla ”. Cui Iosaphat ait: “ Ne loquaris ita, rex ”.	8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Vocavit ergo rex Israel eunuchum quendam et dixit ei: “ Festina adducere Michaeam filium Iemla ”.	9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
10 Rex autem Israel et Iosaphat rex Iudae sedebat unusquisque in solio suo vestiti cultu regio in area iuxta ostium portae Samariae; et universi prophetae prophetabant in conspectu eorum.	10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 Fecit quoque sibi Sedecias filius Chanaana cornua ferrea et ait: “ Haec dicit Dominus: His ventilabis Syriam, donec deleas eam ”.	11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
12 Omnesque prophetae similiter prophetabant dicentes: “ Ascende in Ramoth Galaad et vade prospere, et tradet Dominus in manu regis ”.	12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
13 Nuntius vero, qui ierat ut vocaret Michaeam, locutus est ad eum dicens: “ Ecce sermones prophetarum ore uno regi bona praedicant; sit ergo sermo tuus similis eorum, et loquere bona ”.	13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
14 Cui Michaeas ait: “ Vivit Dominus quia, quodcumque dixerit mihi Dominus, hoc loquar! ”.	14 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.
15 Venit itaque ad regem, et ait illi rex: “ Michaea, ire debemus in Ramoth Galaad ad proeliandum, an cessare? ”. Cui ille respondit: “ Ascende et vade prospere, et tradet Dominus in manu regis ”.	15 So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 Dixit autem rex ad eum: “ Iterum atque iterum adiuro te, ut non loquaris mihi, nisi quod verum est in nomine Domini ”.	16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?
17 Et ille ait: “ Vidi cunctum Israel dispersum in montibus quasi oves non habentes pastorem. Et ait Dominus: “Non habent isti dominum; revertatur unusquisque in domum suam in pace” ”.	17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
18 Dixit ergo rex Israel ad Iosaphat: “ Numquid non dixi tibi quia non prophetat mihi bonum sed semper malum? ”.	18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
19 Ille vero addens ait: “ Propterea audi sermonem Domini: Vidi Dominum sedentem super solium suum et omnem exercitum caeli assistentem ei a dextris et a sinistris.	19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 Et ait Dominus: “Quis decipiet Achab, ut ascendat et cadat in Ramoth Galaad?”. Et dixit unus verba huiuscemodi et alius aliter.	20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 Egressus est autem spiritus et stetit coram Domino et ait: “Ego decipiam illum”. Cui locutus est Dominus: “In quo?”.	21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
22 Et ille ait: “Egrediar et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum eius”. Et dixit Dominus: “Decipies et praevalebis; egredere et fac ita”.	22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
23 Nunc igitur ecce dedit Dominus spiritum mendacii in ore omnium prophetarum tuorum, qui hic sunt, et Dominus locutus est contra te malum ”.	23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
24 Accessit autem Sedecias filius Chanaana et percussit Michaeam in maxillam et dixit: “ Quomodo transivit spiritus Domini a me, ut loqueretur tibi? ”.	24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
25 Et ait Michaeas: “ Visurus es in die illa, quando ingredieris cubiculum intra cubiculum, ut abscondaris ”.	25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
26 Et ait rex Israel: “ Tolle Michaeam, et maneat apud Amon principem civitatis et apud Ioas filium regis,	26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
27 et dic eis: “Haec dicit rex: Mittite virum istum in carcerem et sustentate eum pane tribulationis et aqua angustiae, donec revertar in pace” ”.	27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
28 Dixitque Michaeas: “ Si reversus fueris in pace, non est locutus Dominus in me ”. Et ait: “ Audite, populi omnes! ”.	28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
29 Ascendit itaque rex Israel et Iosaphat rex Iudae in Ramoth Galaad.	29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 Dixitque rex Israel ad Iosaphat: “ Mutato aspectu ineundum est proelium; tu autem induere vestibus tuis ”. Porro rex Israel mutavit aspectum et ingressus est bellum.	30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
31 Rex autem Syriae praeceperat principibus curruum triginta duobus dicens: “ Non pugnabitis contra minorem et maiorem quempiam, nisi contra regem Israel solum ”.	31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
32 Cum ergo vidissent principes curruum Iosaphat, suspicati sunt quod ipse esset rex Israel et impetu facto pugnabant contra eum. Et exclamavit Iosaphat;	32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 intellexeruntque principes curruum quod non esset rex Israel et cessaverunt ab eo.	33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
34 Vir autem quidam tetendit arcum in incertum sagittam dirigens et percussit regem Israel inter iuncturas et loricam. At ille dixit aurigae suo: “ Verte manum tuam et eice me de exercitu, quia graviter vulneratus sum ”.	34 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
35 Aggravatum est ergo proelium in die illa; et rex Israel stabat in curru suo contra Syros et mortuus est vespere: fluebat autem sanguis plagae in sinum currus.	35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
36 Et clamor insonuit in universo exercitu ad solis occasum: “ Unusquisque revertatur in civitatem et in terram suam! ”.	36 And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
37 Mortuus est igitur rex et perlatus est Samariam; sepelieruntque regem in Samaria.	37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38 Et laverunt currum eius in piscina Samariae; et linxerunt canes sanguinem eius, et scorta laverunt se iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat.	38 And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.
39 Reliqua vero gestorum Achab et universa, quae fecit, et domus eburnea, quam aedificavit, cunctaeque urbes, quas exstruxit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Israel?	39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40 Dormivit ergo Achab cum patribus suis; et regnavit Ochozias filius eius pro eo.	40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
41 Iosaphat vero filius Asa regnare coeperat super Iudam anno quarto Achab regis Israel;	41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42 triginta quinque annorum erat, cum regnare coepisset, et viginti quinque annos regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Azuba filia Selachi.	42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Et ambulavit in omni via Asa patris sui et non declinavit ex ea; fecitque, quod rectum erat in conspectu Domini.	43 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
44 Verumtamen excelsa non abstulit; adhuc enim populus sacrificabat et adolebat in excelsis.	44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Pacemque fecit Iosaphat cum rege Israel.	45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46 Reliqua autem gestorum Iosaphat et opera eius, quae fortiter gessit, et proelia, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?	46 And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
47 Sed et reliquias prostibulorum, qui remanserant in diebus Asa patris eius, abstulit de terra.	47 There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
48 Nec erat tunc rex in Edom sed praefectus regius.	48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.
49 Rex vero Iosaphat fecerat naves Tharsis, quae navigarent in Ophir propter aurum; et ire non potuerunt, quia confractae sunt in Asiongaber.	49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
50 Tunc ait Ochozias filius Achab ad Iosaphat: “ Vadant servi mei cum servis tuis in navibus ”. Et noluit Iosaphat.	50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
51 Dormivitque Iosaphat cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David patris sui; regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo.	51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
52 Ochozias autem filius Achab regnare coeperat super Israel in Samaria anno septimo decimo Iosaphat regis Iudae regnavitque super Israel duobus annis.	52 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
53 Et fecit malum in conspectu Domini et ambulavit in via patris sui et matris suae et in via Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel;	53 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
54 servivit quoque Baal et adoravit eum et irritavit Dominum, Deum Israel, iuxta omnia, quae fecerat pater eius.
