Secondo libro dei Re 8

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Eliseus autem locutus est ad mulierem, cuius vivere fecerat fi lium, dicens: “ Surge, vade tu et domus tua et peregrinare ubicumque reppereris; vocavit enim Dominus famem, et veniet super terram septem annis ”.	1 Elisha once said to the woman whose son he had restored to life: "Get ready! Leave with your family and settle wherever you can, because the LORD has decreed a seven-year famine which is coming upon the land."
2 Quae surrexit et fecit iuxta verbum hominis Dei et vadens cum domo sua peregrinata est in terra Philisthim septem annis.	2 The woman got ready and did as the man of God said, setting out with her family and settling in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 Cumque finiti essent anni septem, reversa est mulier de terra Philisthim; et egressa est, ut interpellaret regem pro domo sua et agris suis.	3 At the end of the seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines and went out to the king to claim her house and her field.
4 Rex autem loquebatur cum Giezi puero viri Dei dicens: “ Narra mihi omnia magnalia, quae fecit Eliseus ”.	4 The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God. "Tell me," he said, "all the great things that Elisha has done."
5 Cumque ille narraret regi quomodo mortuum suscitasset, apparuit mulier, cuius vivificaverat filium, clamans ad regem pro domo sua et pro agris suis. Dixitque Giezi: “ Domine mi rex, haec est mulier, et hic filius eius, quem suscitavit Eliseus ”.	5 Just as he was relating to the king how his master had restored a dead person to life, the very woman whose son Elisha had restored to life came to the king to claim her house and field. "My lord king," Gehazi said, "this is the woman, and this is that son of hers whom Elisha restored to life."
6 Et interrogavit rex mulierem, quae narravit ei. Deditque ei rex eunuchum unum dicens: “ Restitue ei omnia, quae sua sunt, et universos reditus agrorum a die, qua reliquit terram usque ad praesens ”.	6 The king questioned the woman, and she told him her story. With that the king placed an official at her disposal, saying, "Restore all her property to her, with all that the field produced from the day she left the land until now."
7 Venit quoque Eliseus Damascum, et Benadad rex Syriae aegrotabat. Nuntiaveruntque ei dicentes: “ Venit vir Dei huc ”.	7 Elisha came to Damascus at a time when Ben-hadad, king of Aram, lay sick. When he was told that the man of God had come there,
8 Et ait rex ad Hazael: “ Tolle tecum munera et vade in occursum viri Dei et consule Dominum per eum dicens: Si evadere potero de infirmitate mea hac? ”.	8 the king said to Hazael, "Take a gift with you and go call on the man of God. Have him consult the LORD as to whether I shall recover from this sickness."
9 Ivit igitur Hazael in occursum eius habens secum munera et omnia bona Damasci, onera quadraginta camelorum. Cumque stetisset coram eo, ait: “ Filius tuus Benadad rex Syriae misit me ad te dicens: “Si sanari potero de infirmitate mea hac?” ”.	9 Hazael went to visit him, carrying a present, and with forty camel loads of the best goods of Damascus. On his arrival, he stood before the prophet and said, "Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to ask you whether he will recover from his sickness."
10 Dixitque ei Eliseus: “ Vade, dic ei: Sanaberis. Porro ostendit mihi Dominus quia morte morietur ”.	10 "Go and tell him," Elisha answered, "that he will surely recover. However, the LORD has showed me that he will in fact die."
11 Stetitque facies eius, et conturbatus est usque ad suffusionem vultus flevitque vir Dei.	11 Then he stared him down until Hazael became ill at ease. The man of God wept,
12 Cui Hazael ait: “ Quare dominus meus flet? ”. At ille respondit: “ Quia scio, quae facturus sis filiis Israel mala: civitates eorum munitas igne succendes et iuvenes eorum interficies gladio et parvulos eorum elides et praegnantes discindes ”.	12 and Hazael asked, "Why are you weeping, my lord?" Elisha replied, "Because I know the evil that you will inflict upon the Israelites. You will burn their fortresses, you will slay their youth with the sword, you will dash their little children to pieces, you will rip open their pregnant women."
13 Dixitque Hazael: “ Quid enim sum servus tuus canis, ut faciam rem istam magnam? ”. Et ait Eliseus: “ Ostendit mihi Dominus te regem Syriae fore ”.	13 Hazael exclaimed, "How can a dog like me, your servant, do anything so important?" "The LORD has showed you to me as king over Aram," replied Elisha.
14 Qui cum recessisset ab Eliseo, venit ad dominum suum. Qui ait ei: “ Quid tibi dixit Eliseus? ”. At ille respondit: “ Dixit mihi: Recipies sanitatem ”.	14 Hazael left Elisha and returned to his master. "What did Elisha tell you?" asked Ben-hadad. "He told me that you would surely recover," replied Hazael.
15 Cumque venisset dies altera, tulit stragulum et intinxit aqua et expandit super faciem eius, et mortuus est; regnavitque Hazael pro eo.	15 The next day, however, Hazael took a cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the king's face, so that he died. And Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 Anno quinto Ioram filii Achab regis Israel — Iosaphat autem erat rex Iudae — regnavit Ioram filius Iosaphat regis Iudae.	16 In the fifth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.
17 Triginta duorum erat annorum, cum regnare coepisset, et octo annis regnavit in Ierusalem.	17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Ambulavitque in viis regum Israel, sicut ambulaverat domus Achab; filia enim Achab erat uxor eius. Et fecit, quod malum est coram Domino.	18 He conducted himself like the kings of Israel of the line of Ahab, since the sister of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the LORD'S sight.
19 Noluit autem Dominus disperdere Iudam propter David servum suum, sicut promiserat ei, ut daret illi lucernam et filiis eius cunctis diebus.	19 Even so, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, because of his servant David. For he had promised David that he would leave him a lamp in the LORD'S presence for all time.
20 In diebus eius recessit Edom, ne esset sub Iuda, et constituit sibi regem.	20 During Jehoram's reign, Edom revolted against the sovereignty of Judah and chose a king of its own.
21 Venitque Ioram Seira et omnis currus cum eo; et surrexit nocte percussitque Idumaeos, qui eum circumdederant, et principes curruum; et populus fugit in tabernacula sua.	21 Thereupon Jehoram with all his chariots crossed over to Zair. He arose by night and broke through the Edomites when they had surrounded him and the commanders of his chariots. Then his army fled homeward.
22 Recessit ergo Edom, ne esset sub Iuda, usque ad diem hanc. Tunc recessit et Lobna in tempore illo.	22 To this day Edom has been in revolt against the rule of Judah. Libnah also revolted at that time.
23 Reliqua autem gestorum Ioram et universa, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?	23 The rest of the acts of Jehoram, with all that he did, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
24 Et dormivit Ioram cum patribus suis sepultusque est cum eis in civitate David; et regnavit Ochozias filius eius pro eo.	24 Jehoram rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
25 Anno duodecimo Ioram filii Achab regis Israel regnavit Ochozias filius Ioram regis Iudae.	25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king in the twelfth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
26 Viginti duorum annorum erat Ochozias, cum regnare coepisset, et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Athalia filia Amri regis Israel.	26 He was twenty-two years old when he began his reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah; she was daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 Et ambulavit in viis domus Achab et fecit, quod malum est coram Domino, sicut domus Achab; gener enim domus Achab fuit.	27 He conducted himself like the house of Ahab, doing evil in the LORD'S sight as they did, since he was related to them by marriage.
28 Abiit quoque cum Ioram filio Achab ad proeliandum contra Hazael regem Syriae in Ramoth Galaad; et vulneraverunt Syri Ioram.	28 He joined Joram, son of Ahab, in battle against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead, where the Arameans wounded Joram.
29 Qui reversus est, ut curaretur in Iezrahel de vulneribus, quibus vulneraverant eum Syri in Rama proeliantem contra Hazael regem Syriae. Porro Ochozias filius Ioram rex Iudae descendit invisere Ioram filium Achab in Iezrahel, quia aegrotabat.	29 King Joram returned to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah in his battle against Hazael, king of Aram. Then Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to visit him there in his illness.
