NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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, the son of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for seventeen years.
2 Et fecit malum coram Domino secutusque est peccatum Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel; non declinavit ab eo.	2 And he did evil before the Lord. And he followed the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. And he did not turn aside from these.
3 Iratusque est furor Domini contra Israel et tradidit eos in manu Hazael regis Syriae et in manu Benadad filii Hazael cunctis diebus.	3 And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael, the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, during all the days.
4 Deprecatus est autem Ioachaz faciem Domini, et audivit eum Dominus; vidit enim angustiam Israel, qua attriverat eos rex Syriae.	4 But Jehoahaz petitioned the face of the Lord, and the Lord heeded him. For he saw the anguish of Israel, because the king of Syria had oppressed them.
5 Et dedit Dominus Israeli salvatorem, et liberatus est de manu Syriae; habitaveruntque filii Israel in tabernaculis suis sicut heri et nudiustertius.	5 And the Lord gave a savior to Israel. And they were freed from the hand of the king of Syria. And the sons of Israel lived in their tabernacles, just as yesterday and the day before.
6 Verumtamen non recesserunt a peccatis domus Ieroboam, qui peccare fecit Israel; in ipsis ambulaverunt. Siquidem et palus permansit in Samaria.	6 Yet truly, they did not withdraw from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin. Instead, they walked by them. And there was even a sacred grove still remaining 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 And there was left to Jehoahaz from the people nothing but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers. For the king of Syria had killed them, and he had reduced them to become like dust on a threshing floor.
8 Reliqua autem gestorum Ioachaz et universa, quae fecit, sed et fortitudo eius, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Israel?	8 But the rest of the words of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
9 Dormivitque Ioachaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Samaria. Regnavitque Ioas filius eius pro eo.	9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Joash, his son, reigned in his place.
10 Anno tricesimo septimo Ioas regis Iudae regnavit Ioas filius Ioachaz super Israel in Samaria sedecim annis.	10 In the thirty-seventh year of Jehoash, the king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, 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 And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Instead, he walked by 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 But the rest of the words of Joash, and all that he did, and his strength, the manner in which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days 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 And Joash slept with his fathers. Then Jeroboam sat upon his throne. And Joash was buried in Samaria, 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 Now Elisha was sick of the infirmity from which he also died. And Joash, the king of Israel, descended to him. And he was weeping before him, and saying: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel and its driver!”
15 Et ait illi Eliseus: “Affer arcum et sagittas”. Cumque attulisset ad eum arcum et sagittas,	15 And Elisha said to him, “Bring a bow and arrows.” And when he had brought a bow and arrows to him,
16 dixit ad regem Israel: “ Pone manum tuam super arcum ”. Et, cum posuisset ille manum suam, superposuit Eliseus manus suas manibus regis	16 he said to the king of Israel, “Place your hand upon the bow.” And when he had placed his hand, Elisha place his own hands over the hands of the 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 And he said, “Open the window toward the east.” And when he had opened it, Elisha said, “Shoot an arrow.” And he shot it. And Elisha said: “It is the arrow of the salvation of the Lord, and the arrow of salvation against Syria. And you shall strike the Syrians at Aphek, until you consume them.”
18 Et ait: “ Tolle sagittas ”. Qui cum tulisset, rursum dixit ei: “ Percute iaculo terram!”. Et, cum percussisset tribus vicibus et stetisset,	18 And he said, “Take the arrows.” And when he had taken them, he then said to him, “Strike an arrow against the ground.” And when he had struck three times, and he had stood still,
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 the man of God became angry against him. And he said: “If you had struck five or six or seven times, you would have struck down Syria, even until it was consumed. But now you will strike it three times.”
20 Mortuus est ergo Eliseus, et sepelierunt eum. Latrunculi autem de Moab venerunt in terra in ipso anno.	20 Then Elisha died, and they buried him. And the robbers from Moab came into the land in the same 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 But certain ones who were burying a man saw the robbers, and they cast the dead body into the sepulcher of Elisha. But when it had touched the bones of Elisha, the man revived, and he stood upon his feet.
22 Igitur Hazael rex Syriae afflixit Israel cunctis diebus Ioachaz.	22 Now Hazael, the king of Syria, afflicted Israel during all the days 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 took pity on them, and he returned to them, because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And he was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them out completely, even to the present time.
24 Mortuus est autem Hazael rex Syriae; et regnavit Benadad filius eius pro eo.	24 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, died. And Benhadad, his son, reigned in his place.
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 Now Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, by a just war, took the cities from the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz, his father. Jehoash struck him three times, and he restored the cities to Israel.
