Secondo libro dei Re 13

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Anno vicesimo tertio Ioas fi lii Ochoziae regis Iudae re gnavit Ioachaz filius Iehu super Israel in Samaria decem et septem annis.	1 In the twenty-third year of Joash, son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, began his seventeen-year reign over Israel in Samaria.
2 Et fecit malum coram Domino secutusque est peccatum Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel; non declinavit ab eo.	2 He did evil in the LORD'S sight, conducting himself like Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and not renouncing the sin he had caused Israel to commit.
3 Iratusque est furor Domini contra Israel et tradidit eos in manu Hazael regis Syriae et in manu Benadad filii Hazael cunctis diebus.	3 The LORD was angry with Israel and for a long time left them in the power of Hazael, king of Aram, and of Ben-hadad, son of Hazael.
4 Deprecatus est autem Ioachaz faciem Domini, et audivit eum Dominus; vidit enim angustiam Israel, qua attriverat eos rex Syriae.	4 Then Jehoahaz entreated the LORD, who heard him, since he saw the oppression to which the king of Aram had subjected Israel.
5 Et dedit Dominus Israeli salvatorem, et liberatus est de manu Syriae; habitaveruntque filii Israel in tabernaculis suis sicut heri et nudiustertius.	5 So the LORD gave Israel a savior, and the Israelites, freed from the power of Aram, dwelt in their own homes as formerly.
6 Verumtamen non recesserunt a peccatis domus Ieroboam, qui peccare fecit Israel; in ipsis ambulaverunt. Siquidem et palus permansit in Samaria.	6 Nevertheless, they did not desist from the sins which the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, but persisted in them. The sacred pole also remained standing in Samaria.
7 Et non reliquit Dominus Ioachaz de populo nisi quinquaginta equites et decem currus et decem milia peditum; interfecerat enim eos rex Syriae et redegerat quasi pulverem in tritura areae.	7 No soldiers were left to Jehoahaz, except fifty horsemen with ten chariots and ten thousand foot soldiers, since the king of Aram had destroyed them and trampled them like dust.
8 Reliqua autem gestorum Ioachaz et universa, quae fecit, sed et fortitudo eius, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Israel?	8 The rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, with all his valor and accomplishments, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
9 Dormivitque Ioachaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Samaria. Regnavitque Ioas filius eius pro eo.	9 Jehoahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria. His son Joash succeeded him as king.
10 Anno tricesimo septimo Ioas regis Iudae regnavit Ioas filius Ioachaz super Israel in Samaria sedecim annis.	10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash, king of Judah, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, began his sixteen-year reign over Israel in Samaria.
11 Et fecit, quod malum est in conspectu Domini; non declinavit ab omnibus peccatis Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel; in ipsis ambulavit.	11 He did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not desist from any of the sins which Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had caused Israel to commit, but persisted in them.
12 Reliqua autem gestorum Ioas et universa, quae fecit, sed et fortitudo eius, quomodo pugnaverit contra Amasiam regem Iudae, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Israel?	12 (The rest of the acts of Joash, the valor with which he fought against Amaziah, king of Judah, and all his accomplishments, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
13 Et dormivit Ioas cum patribus suis; Ieroboam autem sedit super solium eius. Porro Ioas sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israel.	13 Joash rested with his ancestors, and Jeroboam occupied the throne. Joash was buried with the kings of Israel in Samaria.)
14 Eliseus autem aegrotabat infirmitate, qua et mortuus est; descenditque ad eum Ioas rex Israel et flebat coram eo dicebatque: “ Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israel et auriga eius! ”.	14 When Elisha was suffering from the sickness of which he was to die, King Joash of Israel went down to visit him. "My father, my father!" he exclaimed, weeping over him. "Israel's chariots and horsemen!"
15 Et ait illi Eliseus: “Affer arcum et sagittas”. Cumque attulisset ad eum arcum et sagittas,	15 "Take a bow and some arrows," Elisha said to him. When he had done so,
16 dixit ad regem Israel: “ Pone manum tuam super arcum ”. Et, cum posuisset ille manum suam, superposuit Eliseus manus suas manibus regis	16 Elisha said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow." As the king held the bow, Elisha placed his hands over the king's hands
17 et ait: “ Aperi fenestram orientalem ”. Cumque aperuisset, dixit Eliseus: “Iace sagittam!”. Et iecit. Et ait Eliseus: “ Sagitta salutis Domini, et sagitta salutis contra Syriam. Percutiesque Syriam in Aphec, donec consumas eam ”.	17 and said, "Open the window toward the east." He opened it. Elisha said, "Shoot," and he shot. The prophet exclaimed, "The LORD'S arrow of victory! The arrow of victory over Aram! You will completely conquer Aram at Aphec."
18 Et ait: “ Tolle sagittas ”. Qui cum tulisset, rursum dixit ei: “ Percute iaculo terram!”. Et, cum percussisset tribus vicibus et stetisset,	18 Then he said to the king of Israel, "Take the arrows," which he did. Elisha said to him, "Strike the ground!" He struck the ground three times and stopped.
19 iratus est contra eum vir Dei et ait: “ Si percussisses quinquies aut sexies, percussisses Syriam usque ad consummationem; nunc autem tribus vicibus percuties eam ”.	19 Angry with him, the man of God said: "You should have struck five or six times; you would have defeated Aram completely. Now, you will defeat Aram only three times."
20 Mortuus est ergo Eliseus, et sepelierunt eum. Latrunculi autem de Moab venerunt in terra in ipso anno.	20 Elisha died and was buried. At the time, bands of Moabites used to raid the land each year.
21 Quidam autem sepelientes hominem viderunt latrunculos et proiecerunt cadaver in sepulcro Elisei et abierunt. Quod cum tetigisset ossa Elisei, revixit homo et stetit super pedes suos.	21 Once some people were burying a man, when suddenly they spied such a raiding band. So they cast the dead man into the grave of Elisha, and everyone went off. But when the man came in contact with the bones of Elisha, he came back to life and rose to his feet.
22 Igitur Hazael rex Syriae afflixit Israel cunctis diebus Ioachaz.	22 King Hazael of Aram oppressed Israel during the entire reign of Jehoahaz.
23 Et misertus est Dominus eorum et reversus est ad eos propter pactum suum, quod habebat cum Abraham, Isaac et Iacob, et noluit disperdere eos neque proicere penitus usque in praesens tempus.	23 But the LORD was merciful with Israel and looked on them with compassion because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was unwilling to destroy them or to cast them out from his presence.
24 Mortuus est autem Hazael rex Syriae; et regnavit Benadad filius eius pro eo.	24 So when King Hazael of Aram died and his son Ben-hadad succeeded him as king,
25 Porro Ioas filius Ioachaz tulit urbes de manu Benadad filii Hazael, quas tulerat de manu Ioachaz patris sui iure proelii; tribus vicibus percussit eum Ioas et reddidit civitates Israeli.	25 Joash, son of Jehoahaz, took back from Ben-hadad, son of Hazael, the cities which Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Joash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and thus recovered the cities of Israel.
