Secondo libro delle Cronache 21

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Dormivit autem Iosaphat cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David; regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo.	1 And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
2 Qui habuit fratres filios Iosaphat Azariam et Iahiel et Zachariam et Azariam et Michael et Saphatiam: omnes hi filii Iosaphat regis Israel.	2 And he had brethren the sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jahiel, and Zacharias, and Azaria, and Michael, and Saphatias, all these were the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
3 Deditque eis pater suus multa munera argenti et auri et res pretiosas cum civitatibus munitissimis in Iuda; regnum autem tradidit Ioram, eo quod esset primogenitus.	3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest.
4 Surrexit ergo Ioram super regnum patris sui; cumque se confirmasset, occidit omnes fratres suos gladio et quosdam de principibus Israel.	4 So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel.
5 Triginta duorum annorum erat Ioram, cum regnare coepisset, et octo annis regnavit in Ierusalem.	5 Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Ambulavitque in viis regum Israel, sicut egerat domus Achab; filia quippe Achab erat uxor eius. Et fecit malum in conspectu Domini.	6 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
7 Noluit autem Dominus disperdere domum David propter pactum, quod inierat cum eo, et quia promiserat, ut daret ei lucernam et filiis eius omni tempore.	7 But the Lord would not destroy the house of David: because of the covenant which he had made with him: and because he had promised to give a lamp to him, and to his sons for ever.
8 In diebus illis rebellavit Edom, ne esset subditus Iudae, et constituit sibi regem.	8 In those days Edom revolted, from being subject to Juda, and made themselves a king.
9 Cumque transisset Ioram cum principibus suis et cunctis curribus, qui erant secum, surrexit nocte et percussit Edom, qui eum circumdederat, et omnes duces curruum eius.	9 And Joram went over with his princes, and all his cavalry with him, and rose in the night, and defeated the Edomites who had surrounded him, and all the captains of his cavalry.
10 Attamen rebellavit Edom, ne esset sub dicione Iudae, usque ad hanc diem. Eo tempore et Lobna recessit, ne esset sub manu illius; dereliquerat enim Dominum, Deum patrum suorum.	10 However Edom revolted, from being under the dominion of Juda unto this day: at that time Lobna also revolted, from being under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers:
11 Insuper et excelsa fabricatus est in montibus Iudae et fornicari fecit habitatores Ierusalem et praevaricari Iudam.	11 Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to transgress.
12 Allatae sunt autem ei litterae ab Elia propheta, in quibus scriptum erat: “Haec dicit Dominus, Deus David patris tui: Quoniam non ambulasti in viis Iosaphat patris tui et in viis Asa regis Iudae,	12 And there was a letter brought him from Elias the prophet, in which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,
13 sed incessisti per iter regum Israel et fornicari fecisti Iudam et habitatores Ierusalem imitatus fornicationem domus Achab, insuper et fratres tuos domum patris tui meliores te occidisti:	13 But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself,
14 ecce Dominus percutiet plaga magna populum tuum, filios et uxores tuas universamque substantiam tuam;	14 Behold the Lord will strike thee with a great plague, with all thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance.
15 tu autem aegrotabis pessimo languore uteri tui, donec egrediantur vitalia tua paulatim per singulos dies ”.	15 And thou shalt be sick of a very grievous disease of thy bowels, till thy vital parts come out by little and little every day.
16 Suscitavit ergo Dominus contra Ioram spiritum Philisthinorum et Arabum, qui confines sunt Aethiopibus,	16 And the Lord stirred up against Joram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who border on the Ethiopians.
17 et ascenderunt in terram Iudae et irruperunt in eam diripueruntque cunctam substantiam, quae inventa est in domo regis, insuper et filios eius et uxores, nec remansit ei filius nisi Ioachaz, qui minimus natu erat.	17 And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest.
18 Et post haec omnia percussit eum Dominus alvi languore insanabili.	18 And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels.
19 Cumque diei succederet dies, et temporum spatia volverentur, duorum annorum expletus est circulus; et sic longa consumptus tabe, ita ut egereret etiam viscera sua, languore pariter et vita caruit. Mortuusque est in infirmitate pessima, et non fecit ei populus eius secundum morem combustionis exsequias, sicut fecerat maioribus eius.	19 And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void his very bowels, his disease ended with his life. And he died of a most wretched illness, and the people did not make a funeral for him according to the manner of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.
20 Triginta duorum annorum fuit, cum regnare coepisset, et octo annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Obiitque nullo relicto desiderio sui; et sepelierunt eum in civitate David, verumtamen non in sepulcro regum.	20 He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked not rightly, and they buried him in the city of David: but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
