Regum I 11

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Rex autem Salomon adamavit mulieres alienigenas multas, filiam quoque Pharaonis, et Moabitidas, et Ammonitidas, Idumæas, et Sidonias, et Hethæas :	1 King Solomon loved many foreign women besides the daughter of Pharaoh (Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites),
2 de gentibus super quibus dixit Dominus filiis Israël : Non ingrediemini ad eas, neque de illis ingredientur ad vestras : certissime enim avertent corda vestra ut sequamini deos earum. His itaque copulatus est Salomon ardentissimo amore.	2 from nations with which the LORD had forbidden the Israelites to intermarry, "because," he said, "they will turn your hearts to their gods." But Solomon fell in love with them.
3 Fueruntque ei uxores quasi reginæ septingentæ, et concubinæ trecentæ : et averterunt mulieres cor ejus.	3 He had seven hundred wives of princely rank and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart.
4 Cumque jam esset senex, depravatum est cor ejus per mulieres, ut sequeretur deos alienos : nec erat cor ejus perfectum cum Domino Deo suo, sicut cor David patris ejus.	4 When Solomon was old his wives had turned his heart to strange gods, and his heart was not entirely with the LORD, his God, as the heart of his father David had been.
5 Sed colebat Salomon Astarthen deam Sidoniorum, et Moloch idolum Ammonitarum.	5 By adoring Astarte, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites,
6 Fecitque Salomon quod non placuerat coram Domino, et non adimplevit ut sequeretur Dominum sicut David pater ejus.	6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not follow him unreservedly as his father David had done.
7 Tunc ædificavit Salomon fanum Chamos idolo Moab in monte qui est contra Jerusalem, et Moloch idolo filiorum Ammon.	7 Solomon then built a high place to Chemosh, the idol of Moab, and to Molech, the idol of the Ammonites, on the hill opposite Jerusalem.
8 Atque in hunc modum fecit universis uxoribus suis alienigenis, quæ adolebant thura, et immolabant diis suis.	8 He did the same for all his foreign wives who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 Igitur iratus est Dominus Salomoni, quod aversa esset mens ejus a Domino Deo Israël, qui apparuerat ei secundo,	9 The LORD, therefore, became angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice
10 et præceperat de verbo hoc ne sequeretur deos alienos : et non custodivit quæ mandavit ei Dominus.	10 (for though the LORD had forbidden him this very act of following strange gods, Solomon had not obeyed him).
11 Dixit itaque Dominus Salomoni : Quia habuisti hoc apud te, et non custodisti pactum meum, et præcepta mea quæ mandavi tibi, disrumpens scindam regnum tuum, et dabo illud servo tuo.	11 So the LORD said to Solomon: "Since this is what you want, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes which I enjoined on you, I will deprive you of the kingdom and give it to your servant.
12 Verumtamen in diebus tuis non faciam propter David patrem tuum : de manu filii tui scindam illud,	12 I will not do this during your lifetime, however, for the sake of your father David; it is your son whom I will deprive.
13 nec totum regnum auferam, sed tribum unam dabo filio tuo propter David servum meum, et Jerusalem, quam elegi.	13 Nor will I take away the whole kingdom. I will leave your son one tribe for the sake of my servant David and of Jerusalem, which I have chosen."
14 Suscitavit autem Dominus adversarium Salomoni Adad Idumæum de semine regio, qui erat in Edom.	14 The LORD then raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite, who was of the royal line in Edom.
15 Cum enim esset David in Idumæa, et ascendisset Joab princeps militiæ ad sepeliendum eos qui fuerant interfecti, et occidisset omnem masculinum in Idumæa	15 Earlier, when David had conquered Edom, Joab, the general of the army, while going to bury the slain, put to death every male in Edom.
16 (sex enim mensibus ibi moratus est Joab, et omnis Israël, donec interimeret omne masculinum in Idumæa),	16 Joab and all Israel remained there six months until they had killed off every male in Edom.
17 fugit Adad ipse, et viri Idumæi de servis patris ejus cum eo, ut ingrederetur Ægyptum : erat autem Adad puer parvulus.	17 Meanwhile, Hadad, who was only a boy, fled toward Egypt with some Edomite servants of his father.
18 Cumque surrexissent de Madian, venerunt in Pharan, tuleruntque secum viros de Pharan, et introierunt Ægyptum ad Pharaonem regem Ægypti : qui dedit ei domum, et cibos constituit, et terram delegavit.	18 They left Midian and passing through Paran, where they picked up additional men, they went into Egypt to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house, appointed him rations, and assigned him land.
19 Et invenit Adad gratiam coram Pharaone valde, in tantum ut daret ei uxorem sororem uxoris suæ germanam Taphnes reginæ.	19 Hadad won great favor with Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.
20 Genuitque ei soror Taphnes Genubath filium, et nutrivit eum Taphnes in domo Pharaonis : eratque Genubath habitans apud Pharaonem cum filiis ejus.	20 Tahpenes' sister bore Hadad a son, Genubath. After his weaning, the queen kept him in Pharaoh's palace, where he then lived with Pharaoh's own sons.
21 Cumque audisset Adad in Ægypto dormisse David cum patribus suis, et mortuum esse Joab principem militiæ, dixit Pharaoni : Dimitte me, ut vadam in terram meam.	21 When Hadad in Egypt heard that David rested with his ancestors and that Joab, the general of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, "Give me leave to return to my own country."
22 Dixitque ei Pharao : Qua enim re apud me indiges, ut quæras ire ad terram tuam ? At ille respondit : Nulla : sed obsecro te ut dimittas me.	22 Pharaoh said to him, "What do you lack with me, that you are seeking to return to your own country?" "Nothing," he said, "but please let me go!"
23 Suscitavit quoque ei Deus adversarium Razon filium Eliada, qui fugerat Adarezer regem Soba dominum suum :	23 God raised up against Solomon another adversary, in Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
24 et congregavit contra eum viros, et factus est princeps latronum cum interficeret eos David : abieruntque Damascum, et habitaverunt ibi, et constituerunt eum regem in Damasco :	24 when David defeated them with slaughter. Rezon gathered men about him and became leader of a band, went to Damascus, settled there, and became king in Damascus.
25 eratque adversarius Israëli cunctis diebus Salomonis : et hoc est malum Adad, et odium contra Israël : regnavitque in Syria.	25 He was an enemy of Israel as long as Solomon lived; this added to the harm done by Hadad, who made a rift in Israel by becoming king over Edom.
26 Jeroboam quoque filius Nabat, Ephrathæus, de Sareda, servus Salomonis, cujus mater erat nomine Sarva, mulier vidua, levavit manum contra regem.	26 Solomon's servant Jeroboam, son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah with a widowed mother, Zeruah, also rebelled against the king.
27 Et hæc est causa rebellionis adversus eum, quia Salomon ædificavit Mello, et coæquavit voraginem civitatis David patris sui.	27 This is why he rebelled. King Solomon was building Millo, closing up the breach of his father's City of David.
28 Erat autem Jeroboam vir fortis et potens : vidensque Salomon adolescentem bonæ indolis et industrium, constituerat eum præfectum super tributa universæ domus Joseph.	28 Jeroboam was a man of means, and when Solomon saw that he was also an industrious young man, he put him in charge of the entire labor force of the house of Joseph.
29 Factum est igitur in tempore illo, ut Jeroboam egrederetur de Jerusalem, et inveniret eum Ahias Silonites propheta in via, opertus pallio novo : erant autem duo tantum in agro.	29 At that time Jeroboam left Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the road. The two were alone in the area, and the prophet was wearing a new cloak.
30 Apprehendensque Ahias pallium suum novum quo coopertus erat, scidit in duodecim partes.	30 Ahijah took off his new cloak, tore it into twelve pieces,
31 Et ait ad Jeroboam : Tolle tibi decem scissuras : hæc enim dicit Dominus Deus Israël : Ecce ego scindam regnum de manu Salomonis, et dabo tibi decem tribus.	31 and said to Jeroboam: "Take ten pieces for yourself; the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I will tear away the kingdom from Solomon's grasp and will give you ten of the tribes.
32 Porro una tribus remanebit ei propter servum meum David, et Jerusalem civitatem, quam elegi ex omnibus tribubus Israël :	32 One tribe shall remain to him for the sake of David my servant, and of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
33 eo quod dereliquerit me, et adoraverit Astarthen deam Sidoniorum, et Chamos deum Moab, et Moloch deum filiorum Ammon : et non ambulaverit in viis meis, ut faceret justitiam coram me, et præcepta mea et judicia, sicut David pater ejus.	33 The ten I will give you because he has forsaken me and has worshiped Astarte, goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, god of Moab, and Milcom, god of the Ammonites; he has not followed my ways or done what is pleasing to me according to my statutes and my decrees, as his father David did.
34 Nec auferam omne regnum de manu ejus, sed ducem ponam eum cunctis diebus vitæ suæ, propter David servum meum quem elegi, qui custodivit mandata mea et præcepta mea.	34 Yet I will not take any of the kingdom from Solomon himself, but will keep him a prince as long as he lives for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and statutes.
35 Auferam autem regnum de manu filii ejus, et dabo tibi decem tribus :	35 But I will take the kingdom from his son and will give it to you--that is, the ten tribes.
36 filio autem ejus dabo tribum unam, ut remaneat lucerna David servo meo cunctis diebus coram me in Jerusalem civitate, quam elegi ut esset nomen meum ibi.	36 I will give his son one tribe, that my servant David may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city in which I choose to be honored.
37 Te autem assumam, et regnabis super omnia quæ desiderat anima tua, erisque rex super Israël.	37 I will take you; you shall reign over all that you desire and shall become king of Israel.
38 Si igitur audieris omnia quæ præcepero tibi, et ambulaveris in viis meis, et feceris quod rectum est coram me, custodiens mandata mea et præcepta mea, sicut fecit David servus meus : ero tecum, et ædificabo tibi domum fidelem, quomodo ædificavi David domum : et tradam tibi Israël :	38 If, then, you heed all that I command you, follow my ways, and please me by keeping my statutes and my commandments like my servant David, I will be with you. I will establish for you, as I did for David, a lasting dynasty; I will give Israel to you.
39 et affligam semen David super hoc, verumtamen non cunctis diebus.	39 I will punish David's line for this, but not forever.'"
40 Voluit ergo Salomon interficere Jeroboam : qui surrexit, et aufugit in Ægyptum ad Sesac regem Ægypti, et fuit in Ægypto usque ad mortem Salomonis.	40 When Solomon tried to have Jeroboam killed for his rebellion, he escapedto King Shishak, in Egypt, where he remained until Solomon's death.
41 Reliquum autem verborum Salomonis, et omnia quæ fecit, et sapientia ejus, ecce universa scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum Salomonis.	41 The rest of the acts of Solomon, with all his deeds and his wisdom, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of Solomon.
42 Dies autem quos regnavit Salomon in Jerusalem super omnem Israël, quadraginta anni sunt.	42 The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43 Dormivitque Salomon cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in civitate David patris sui : regnavitque Roboam filius ejus pro eo.	43 Solomon rested with his ancestors; he was buried in his father's City of David, and his son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
