Secondo libro dei Re 9

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Eliseus autem prophetes vocavit unum de filiis prophetarum et ait illi: “ Accinge lumbos tuos et tolle lenticulam olei hanc in manu tua et vade in Ramoth Galaad.	1 And Eliseus the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, slid said to him: Gird up thy loins, and take this little bottle of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth Galaad.
2 Cumque veneris illuc, videbis Iehu filium Iosaphat filii Namsi et ingressus suscitabis eum de medio fratrum suorum et introduces interius cubiculum.	2 And when thou art come thither, thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi: and going in thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and carry him into an inner chamber.
3 Tenensque lenticulam olei fundes super caput eius et dices: “ Haec dicit Dominus: Unxi te regem super Israel ”. Aperiesque ostium et fugies et non ibi subsistes ”.	3 Then taking the little bottle of oil, thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there.
4 Abiit ergo adulescens puer prophetae Ramoth Galaad	4 So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went awry to Ramoth Galaad,
5 et ingressus est. Ecce autem principes exercitus sedebant, et ait: “ Verbum mihi ad te, princeps ”. Dixitque Iehu: “ Ad quem ex omnibus nobis? ”. At ille dixit: “ Ad te, o princeps ”.	5 And went in thither: and behold the captains of the army were sitting: and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince.
6 Et surrexit et ingressus est cubiculum. At ille fudit oleum super caput eius et ait: “ Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Unxi te regem super populum Domini, super Israel.	6 And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel : I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord.
7 Percuties domum Achab domini tui, ut ulciscar sanguinem servorum meorum prophetarum et sanguinem omnium servorum Domini de manu Iezabel.	7 And thou shalt cut off the house of Achab thy master, and I will revenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezabel.
8 Perdamque omnem domum Achab et interficiam de Achab quidquid masculini sexus et impuberem et puberem in Israel.	8 And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab him that pisseth against the well, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel.
9 Et dabo domum Achab sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahiae.	9 And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias.
10 Iezabel quoque comedent canes in agro Iezrahel, nec erit qui sepeliat eam ”. Aperuitque ostium et fugit.	10 And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
11 Iehu autem egressus est ad servos domini sui, qui dixerunt ei: “ Rectene sunt omnia? Quid venit insanus iste ad te? ”. Qui ait eis: “ Nostis hominem et loquelam eius ”.	11 Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this mad man to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said.
12 At illi responderunt: “ Mendacium! Narra nobis! ”. Qui ait eis: “ Haec et haec locutus est mihi dicens: “Haec dicit Dominus: Unxi te regem super Israel” ”.	12 But they answered: It is false, but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel.
13 Festinaverunt itaque et unusquisque tollens pallium suum posuerunt sub pedibus eius super structuram graduum et cecinerunt tuba atque dixerunt: “ Regnavit Iehu! ”.	13 Then they made haste and taking every man his garment laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: Jehu is king.
14 Coniuravit ergo Iehu filius Iosaphat filii Namsi contra Ioram. Porro Ioram defenderat Ramoth Galaad ipse et omnis Israel contra Hazael regem Syriae	14 So Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:
15 et reversus fuerat, ut curaretur in Iezrahel propter vulnera, quia percusserant eum Syri proeliantem contra Hazael regem Syriae. Dixitque Iehu: “ Si placet vobis, nemo egrediatur profugus de civitate, ne vadat et nuntiet in Iezrahel ”.	15 And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no mall go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.
16 Et ascendit et profectus est in Iezrahel; Ioram enim aegrotabat ibi, et Ochozias rex Iudae descenderat ad visitandum Ioram.	16 And he got up, and went into Jezrahel: for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram.
17 Igitur speculator, qui stabat super turrim Iezrahel, vidit globum Iehu venientis et ait: “ Video ego globum ”. Dixitque Ioram: “ Tolle equitem et mitte in occursum eorum, et dicat vadens: “Rectene sunt omnia?” ”.	17 The watchmen therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?
18 Abiit igitur, qui ascenderat equum in occursum eius, et ait: “ Haec dicit rex: Pacatane sunt omnia? ”. Dixitque ei Iehu: “ Quid tibi et paci? Transi et sequere me ”. Nuntiavit quoque speculator dicens: “ Venit nuntius ad eos et non revertitur ”.	18 So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said : Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not.
19 Misit etiam equitem secundum; venitque ad eos et ait: “ Haec dicit rex: Num pax est? ”. Et ait Iehu: “ Quid tibi et paci? Transi et sequere me ”.	19 And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow me.
20 Nuntiavit autem speculator dicens: “ Venit usque ad eos et non revertitur. Est autem incessus quasi incessus Iehu filii Namsi; praeceps enim graditur ”.	20 And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Namsi, for he drives furiously.
21 Et ait Ioram: “ Iunge currum! ”. Iunxeruntque currum eius, et egressus est Ioram rex Israel et Ochozias rex Iudae singuli in curribus suis. Egressique sunt in occursum Iehu et invenerunt eum in agro Naboth Iezrahelitis.	21 And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
22 Cumque vidisset Ioram Iehu, dixit: “ Estne pax, Iehu? ”. At ille respondit: “ Quae pax? Adhuc fornicationes Iezabel matris tuae et veneficia eius multa vigent! ”.	22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace ? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.
23 Convertit autem Ioram manum suam et fugiens ait ad Ochoziam: “ Insidiae, Ochozia! ”.	23 And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.
24 Porro Iehu tetendit arcum manu et percussit Ioram inter scapulas. Et egressa est sagitta per cor eius; statimque corruit in curru suo.	24 But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.
25 Dixitque Iehu ad Badacer ducem: “ Tolle, proice eum in agro Naboth Iezrahelitae! Memento enim: ego et tu eramus cum his, qui vectabantur gemini post Achab patrem huius, quando Dominus onus hoc levavit super eum dicens:	25 And Jehu said to Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying :
26 “Pro sanguine Naboth et pro sanguine filiorum eius, quem vidi heri, ait Dominus, reddam tibi in agro isto, dicit Dominus”. Nunc igitur tolle, proice eum in agro iuxta verbum Domini ”.	26 If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord.
27 Ochozias autem rex Iudae videns hoc fugit per viam Bethgan; persecutusque est eum Iehu et ait: “ Etiam hunc percutite! ”. Et percusserunt eum in curru suo in ascensu Gaver, qui est iuxta Ieblaam. Qui fugit in Mageddo et mortuus est ibi.	27 But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house : and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there.
28 Et imposuerunt eum servi eius super currum suum et tulerunt Ierusalem sepelieruntque in sepulcro cum patribus suis in civitate David.	28 And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 Anno undecimo Ioram filii Achab regnavit Ochozias super Iudam.	29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda,
30 Venit Iehu Iezrahel. Porro Iezabel, introitu eius audito, depinxit oculos suos stibio et ornavit caput suum et respexit per fenestram	30 And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window
31 ingredientem Iehu per portam et ait: “ Numquid pax esse potest Zamri, qui interfecit dominum suum? ”.	31 At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master?
32 Levavitque Iehu faciem suam ad fenestram et ait: “ Quis est mecum, quisnam? ”. Et inclinaverunt se ad eum duo vel tres eunuchi.	32 And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said : Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him.
33 At ille dixit eis: “ Praecipitate eam deorsum! ”. Et praecipitaverunt eam; aspersusque est sanguine paries et equi, qui conculcaverunt eam.	33 And he said to them: Throw her down headlong: and they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her.
34 Cumque ingressus esset, ut comederet biberetque, ait: “ Ite, videte maledictam illam et sepelite eam, quia filia regis est ”.	34 And when he was come in, to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her: because she is a king's daughter.
35 Cumque issent, ut sepelirent eam, non invenerunt nisi calvariam et pedes et summas manus.	35 And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities of her hands.
36 Reversique nuntiaverunt ei. Et ait Iehu: “ Sermo Domini est, quem locutus est per servum suum Eliam Thesbiten dicens: In agro Iezrahel comedent canes carnes Iezabel;	36 And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel,
37 et erit cadaver Iezabel sicut stercus super faciem terrae in agro Iezrahel, ita ut non dicatur: “Haeccine est illa Iezabel” ”.	37 And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel, so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel?
