Secondo libro dei Re 13

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
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 became king ofIsrael in Samaria. He reigned for seventeen years.
2 Et fecit malum coram Domino secutusque est peccatum Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel; non declinavit ab eo.	2 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh and copied the sin into which Jeroboam son of Nebat had ledIsrael; he did not give it up.
3 Iratusque est furor Domini contra Israel et tradidit eos in manu Hazael regis Syriae et in manu Benadad filii Hazael cunctis diebus.	3 This aroused Yahweh's anger against the Israelites, and he delivered them without respite into thepower 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 Jehoahaz, however, tried to placate Yahweh, and Yahweh heard him, for he had seen the oppressionwhich the king of Aram was inflicting on Israel.
5 Et dedit Dominus Israeli salvatorem, et liberatus est de manu Syriae; habitaveruntque filii Israel in tabernaculis suis sicut heri et nudiustertius.	5 Yahweh gave Israel a saviour who freed them from the grip of Aram, and the Israelites lived in theirtents as in the past.
6 Verumtamen non recesserunt a peccatis domus Ieroboam, qui peccare fecit Israel; in ipsis ambulaverunt. Siquidem et palus permansit in Samaria.	6 But they did not give up the sin into which Jeroboam had led Israel; they persisted in it, and even thesacred pole stayed 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 Of Jehoahaz's army Yahweh left only fifty horsemen, ten chariots and ten thousand foot soldiers. Theking of Aram had destroyed them, making them like dust trampled under foot.
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 history of Jehoahaz, his entire career, his prowess, is this not recorded in the Book ofthe Annals of the Kings of Israel?
9 Dormivitque Ioachaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Samaria. Regnavitque Ioas filius eius pro eo.	9 Then Jehoahaz fel asleep with his ancestors, and was buried in Samaria; his son Joash succeededhim.
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, became king of Israel inSamaria. He reigned for sixteen years.
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 what is displeasing to Yahweh, he did not give up the sin into which Jeroboam son of Nebathad led Israel; he persisted in it.
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 history of Joash, his entire career, his prowess, how he waged war on Amaziah king ofJudah, is this not recorded in the Book of the Annals 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 Then Joash fel asleep with his ancestors, and Jeroboam ascended his throne. Joash was buried inSamaria with the kings of Israel.
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 had fal en il of the il ness of which he was to die, Joash king of Israel went down to himand shedding tears over him said, 'Father! Father! Chariot of Israel and its chargers!'
15 Et ait illi Eliseus: “Affer arcum et sagittas”. Cumque attulisset ad eum arcum et sagittas,	15 Elisha said to him, 'Bring bow and arrows,' and he sent for a bow and arrows.
16 dixit ad regem Israel: “ Pone manum tuam super arcum ”. Et, cum posuisset ille manum suam, superposuit Eliseus manus suas manibus regis	16 Then Elisha said to the king, 'Draw the bow,' and he drew it. Elisha put his hands over the hands ofthe king,
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 then he said, 'Open the window towards the east,' and he opened it. Then Elisha said, 'Shoot!' And heshot. Elisha said, 'Arrow of victory over Aram! You wil defeat Aram at Aphek-completely.'
18 Et ait: “ Tolle sagittas ”. Qui cum tulisset, rursum dixit ei: “ Percute iaculo terram!”. Et, cum percussisset tribus vicibus et stetisset,	18 Elisha said, 'Take the arrows,' and he took them. Then he said to the king, 'Strike the ground,' and hestruck it three times, then 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 At this the man of God grew angry with him. 'You should have struck half a dozen times,' he said, 'andyou would have beaten Aram completely; now you wil beat 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. Bands of Moabites were making incursions into the country every 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 Some people happened to be carrying a man out for burial; at the sight of one of these bands, theyflung the man into the tomb of Elisha and made off. The man had no sooner touched the bones of Elisha than hecame to life and stood up on his feet.
22 Igitur Hazael rex Syriae afflixit Israel cunctis diebus Ioachaz.	22 Hazael king of Aram had oppressed the Israelites throughout the lifetime 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 Yahweh was kind and took pity on them. Because of the covenant which he had made withAbraham, Isaac and Jacob, he relented towards them; he had no wish to destroy them, he did not cast them outof his presence.
24 Mortuus est autem Hazael rex Syriae; et regnavit Benadad filius eius pro eo.	24 Hazael king of Aram died, and his son Ben-Hadad succeeded him.
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 From Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz recaptured the towns which Hazael hadseized from his father Jehoahaz by force of arms. Joash defeated him three times and recovered the Israelitetowns.
