1 Anno secundo Ioas filii Ioachaz regis Israel regnavit Amasias filius Ioas regis Iudae.	1 In the second year of Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel: Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, reigned as king of Judah.
2 Viginti quinque annorum erat, cum regnare coepisset, viginti autem et novem annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Ioaden de Ierusalem.	2 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.
3 Et fecit rectum coram Domino, verumtamen non ut David pater eius. Iuxta omnia, quae fecit Ioas pater suus, fecit,	3 And he did what is right before the Lord, yet truly, not like David, his father. He acted in accord with all the things that his father Jehoash did,
4 nisi hoc quod excelsa non abstulit; adhuc enim populus immolabat et adolebat in excelsis.	4 except for this alone: he did not take away the high places. For still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
5 Cumque obtinuisset regnum, percussit servos suos, qui interfecerant regem patrem suum;	5 And when he had obtained the kingdom, he struck down those of his servants who had killed his father, the king.
6 filios autem eorum, qui occiderant, non occidit, iuxta quod scriptum est in libro legis Moysi, sicut praecepit Dominus dicens: “ Non morientur patres pro filiis, neque filii morientur pro patribus, sed unusquisque in peccato suo morietur ”.	6 But the sons of those who had been killed he did not put to death, in accord with what was written in the book of the law of Moses, just as the Lord instructed, saying: “The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers. Instead, each one shall die for his own sin.”
7 Ipse percussit Edom in valle Salinarum decem milia et apprehendit Petram in proelio vocavitque nomen eius Iecethel usque in praesentem diem.	7 He struck down ten thousand men of Idumea, in the Valley of the Salt Pits. And he captured ‘the Rock’ in battle, and he called its name ‘Subdued by God,’ even to the present day.
8 Tunc misit Amasias nuntios ad Ioas filium Ioachaz filii Iehu regem Israel dicens: “ Veni, et videamus nos ”.	8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying: “Come, and let us see one another.”
9 Remisitque Ioas rex Israel ad Amasiam regem Iudae dicens: “ Carduus Libani misit ad cedrum, quae est in Libano, dicens: “Da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem”. Transieruntque bestiae agri, quae sunt in Libano, et conculcaverunt carduum.	9 And Jehoash, the king of Israel, sent a reply to Amaziah, the king of Judah, saying: “A thistle of Lebanon sent to a cedar, which is in Lebanon, saying: ‘Give your daughter as wife to my son.’ And the beasts of the forest, which are in Lebanon, passed by and trampled the thistle.
10 Percutiens invaluisti super Edom, et sublevavit te cor tuum; contentus esto gloria et sede in domo tua. Quare provocas malum, ut cadas tu et Iuda tecum? ”.	10 You have struck and prevailed over Idumea. And your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your own glory, and be seated your own house. Why would you provoke evil, so that you would fall, and Judah with you?”
11 Et non acquievit Amasias. Ascenditque Ioas rex Israel, et viderunt se ipse et Amasias rex Iudae in Bethsames oppido Iudae.	11 But Amaziah was not quieted. And so Jehoash, the king of Israel, went up. And he and Amaziah, the king of Judah, saw one another at Beth-shemesh, a town in Judah.
12 Percussusque est Iuda coram Israel, et fugerunt unusquisque in tabernacula sua.	12 And Judah was struck down before Israel, and they fled, each to their own tents.
13 Amasiam vero regem Iudae filium Ioas filii Ochoziae cepit Ioas rex Israel in Bethsames et adduxit eum in Ierusalem. Et interrupit murum Ierusalem a porta Ephraim usque ad portam Anguli quadringentis cubitis.	13 And truly, Jehoash, the king of Israel, captured Amaziah, the king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. And he brought him to Jerusalem. And he breached the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the Corner, four hundred cubits.
14 Tulitque omne aurum et argentum et universa vasa, quae inventa sunt in domo Domini et in thesauris regis, et obsides; et reversus est Samariam.	14 And he took away all the gold and silver, and all the vessels, which were found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king, and he returned to Samaria with hostages.
15 Reliqua autem gestorum Ioas, quae fecit, et fortitudo eius, qua pugnavit contra Amasiam regem Iudae, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Israel?	15 But the rest of the words of Jehoash, which he accomplished, and his strength, with 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?
16 Dormivitque Ioas cum patribus suis et sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israel; et regnavit Ieroboam filius eius pro eo.	16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam, his son, reigned in his place.
17 Vixit autem Amasias filius Ioas rex Iudae, postquam mortuus est Ioas filius Ioachaz rex Israel, quindecim annis.	17 Now Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel.
18 Reliqua autem gestorum Amasiae, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?	18 And the rest of the words of Amaziah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
19 Factaque est contra eum coniuratio in Ierusalem, at ille fugit in Lachis; miseruntque post eum in Lachis et interfecerunt eum ibi.	19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. And they sent after him, to Lachish, and they killed him there.
20 Et asportaverunt eum in equis; sepultusque est in Ierusalem cum patribus suis in civitate David.	20 And they carried him away on horses. And he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.
21 Tulit autem universus populus Iudae Azariam annos natum sedecim, et constituerunt eum regem pro patre eius Amasia.	21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, at sixteen years from birth, and they appointed him as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
22 Ipse aedificavit Ailath et restituit eam Iudae, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.	22 He built up Elath, and he restored it to Judah, after which the king slept with his fathers.
23 Anno quinto decimo Amasiae filii Ioas regis Iudae regnavit Ieroboam filius Ioas regis Israel in Samaria quadraginta et uno anno.	23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah: Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash, the king of Israel, reigned, in Samaria, for forty-one years.
24 Et fecit, quod malum est coram Domino; non recessit ab omnibus peccatis Ieroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israel.	24 And he did what is evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
25 Ipse restituit terminos Israel ab introitu Emath usque ad mare Arabae iuxta sermonem Domini, Dei Israel, quem locutus est per servum suum Ionam filium Amathi prophetam, qui erat de Gethhepher.	25 He restored the borders of Israel, from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Wilderness, in accord with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke through his servant, the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, who was from Gath, which is in Hepher.
26 Vidit enim Dominus afflictionem Israel amaram nimis, et quod consumpti essent impuber et puber, et non esset qui auxiliaretur Israel.	26 For the Lord saw the exceedingly bitter affliction of Israel, and that they were being consumed, even to those who were enclosed in prison, and even to the least ones, and that there was no one who would help Israel.
27 Nec locutus est Dominus, ut deleret nomen Israel de sub caelo, sed salvavit eos in manu Ieroboam filii Ioas.	27 But the Lord did not say that he would wipe away the name of Israel from under heaven. So instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash.
28 Reliqua autem gestorum Ieroboam et universa, quae fecit, et fortitudo eius, qua proeliatus est, et quomodo restituit, quod de finibus Damasci et Emath fuerat Iudae, Israeli, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Israel?	28 But the rest of the words of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his strength, with which he went to battle, and the manner in which he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah, in Israel, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
29 Dormivitque Ieroboam cum patribus suis regibus Israel; et regnavit Zacharias filius eius pro eo.	29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah, his son, reigned in his place.
