Regum I 16

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Factus est autem sermo Domini ad Jehu filium Hanani contra Baasa, dicens :	1 The LORD spoke against Baasha to Jehu, son of Hanani, and said:
2 Pro eo quod exaltavi te de pulvere, et posui te ducem super populum meum Israël, tu autem ambulasti in via Jeroboam, et peccare fecisti populum meum Israël, ut me irritares in peccatis eorum :	2 "Inasmuch as I lifted you up from the dust and made you ruler of my people Israel, but you have imitated the conduct of Jeroboam and have caused my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger by their sins,
3 ecce ego demetam posteriora Baasa, et posteriora domus ejus, et faciam domum tuam sicut domum Jeroboam filii Nabat.	3 I will destroy you, Baasha, and your house;
4 Qui mortuus fuerit de Baasa in civitate, comedent eum canes : et qui mortuus fuerit ex eo in regione, comedent eum volucres cæli.	4 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat. If anyone of Baasha's line dies in the city, dogs shall devour him; if he dies in the field, he shall be devoured by the birds of the sky."
5 Reliqua autem sermonum Baasa, et quæcumque fecit, et prælia ejus, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël ?	5 The rest of the acts of Baasha, with all his valor and accomplishments, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
6 Dormivit ergo Baasa cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in Thersa : et regnavit Ela filius ejus pro eo.	6 Baasha rested with his ancestors; he was buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah succeeded him as king.
7 Cum autem in manu Jehu filii Hanani prophetæ verbum Domini factum esset contra Baasa, et contra domum ejus, et contra omne malum quod fecerat coram Domino, ad irritandum eum in operibus manuum suarum, ut fieret sicut domus Jeroboam : ob hanc causam occidit eum, hoc est, Jehu filium Hanani prophetam.	7 (Through the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, the LORD had threatened Baasha and his house, because of all the evil Baasha did in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger by his evil deeds, so that he became like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed Nadab.)
8 Anno vigesimo sexto Asa regis Juda, regnavit Ela filius Baasa super Israël in Thersa, duobus annis.	8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, king of Judah, Elah, son of Baasha, began his two-year reign over Israel in Tirzah.
9 Et rebellavit contra eum servus suus Zambri, dux mediæ partis equitum : erat autem Ela in Thersa bibens, et temulentus in domo Arsa præfecti Thersa.	9 His servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, plotted against him. As he was in Tirzah, drinking to excess in the house of Arza, superintendent of his palace in Tirzah,
10 Irruens ergo Zambri, percussit et occidit eum, anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Juda, et regnavit pro eo.	10 Zimri entered; he struck and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
11 Cumque regnasset, et sedisset super solium ejus, percussit omnem domum Baasa, et non dereliquit ex ea mingentem ad parietem : et propinquos et amicos ejus.	11 Once he was seated on the royal throne, he killed off the whole house of Baasha, not sparing a single male relative or friend of his.
12 Delevitque Zambri omnem domum Baasa, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat ad Baasa in manu Jehu prophetæ,	12 Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, as the LORD had prophesied to Baasha through the prophet Jehu,
13 propter universa peccata Baasa, et peccata Ela filii ejus, qui peccaverunt, et peccare fecerunt Israël, provocantes Dominum Deum Israël in vanitatibus suis.	13 because of all the sins which Baasha and his son Elah committed and caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols.
14 Reliqua autem sermonum Ela, et omnia quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël ?	14 The rest of the acts of Elah, with all that he did, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
15 Anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Juda, regnavit Zambri septem diebus in Thersa : porro exercitus obsidebat Gebbethon urbem Philisthinorum.	15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. The army was besieging Gibbethon of the Philistines
16 Cumque audisset rebellasse Zambri, et occidisse regem, fecit sibi regem omnis Israël Amri, qui erat princeps militiæ super Israël in die illa in castris.	16 when they heard that Zimri had formed a conspiracy and had killed the king. So that day in the camp all Israel proclaimed Omri, general of the army, king of Israel.
17 Ascendit ergo Amri, et omnis Israël cum eo, de Gebbethon, et obsidebant Thersa.	17 Omri marched up from Gibbethon, accompanied by all Israel, and laid siege to Tirzah.
18 Videns autem Zambri quod expugnanda esset civitas, ingressus est palatium, et succendit se cum domo regia : et mortuus est	18 When Zimri saw the city was captured, he entered the citadel of the royal palace and burned down the palace over him. He died
19 in peccatis suis quæ peccaverat, faciens malum coram Domino, et ambulans in via Jeroboam, et in peccato ejus, quo fecit peccare Israël.	19 because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD by imitating the sinful conduct of Jeroboam, thus causing Israel to sin.
20 Reliqua autem sermonum Zambri, et insidiarum ejus, et tyrannidis, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël ?	20 The rest of the acts of Zimri, with the conspiracy he carried out, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
21 Tunc divisus est populus Israël in duas partes : media pars populi sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth, ut constitueret eum regem : et media pars Amri.	21 At that time the people of Israel were divided, half following Tibni, son of Ginath, to make him king, and half for Omri.
22 Prævaluit autem populus qui erat cum Amri, populo qui sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth : mortuusque est Thebni, et regnavit Amri.	22 The partisans of Omri prevailed over those of Tibni, son of Ginath. Tibni died and Omri became king.
23 Anno trigesimo primo Asa regis Juda, regnavit Amri super Israël, duodecim annis : in Thersa regnavit sex annis.	23 In the thirty-first year of Asa, king of Judah, Omri became king; he reigned over Israel twelve years, the first six of them in Tirzah.
24 Emitque montem Samariæ a Somer duobus talentis argenti : et ædificavit eum, et vocavit nomen civitatis quam exstruxerat, nomine Semer domini montis, Samariam.	24 He then bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two silver talents and built upon the hill, naming the city he built Samaria after Shemer, the former owner.
25 Fecit autem Amri malum in conspectu Domini, et operatus est nequiter, super omnes qui fuerunt ante eum.	25 But Omri did evil in the LORD'S sight beyond any of his predecessors.
26 Ambulavitque in omni via Jeroboam filii Nabat, et in peccatis ejus quibus peccare fecerat Israël, ut irritaret Dominum Deum Israël in vanitatibus suis.	26 He closely imitated the sinful conduct of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, causing Israel to sin and to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols.
27 Reliqua autem sermonum Amri, et prælia ejus quæ gessit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël ?	27 The rest of the acts of Omri, with all his valor and accomplishments, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
28 Dormivitque Amri cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in Samaria : regnavitque Achab filius ejus pro eo.	28 Omri rested with his ancestors; he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab succeeded him as king.
29 Achab vero filius Amri regnavit super Israël anno trigesimo octavo Asa regis Juda. Et regnavit Achab filius Amri super Israël in Samaria viginti et duobus annis.	29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa, king of Judah, Ahab, son of Omri, became king of Israel; he reigned over Israel in Samaria for twenty-two years.
30 Et fecit Achab filius Amri malum in conspectu Domini super omnes qui fuerunt ante eum.	30 Ahab, son of Omri, did evil in the sight of the LORD more than any of his predecessors.
31 Nec suffecit ei ut ambularet in peccatis Jeroboam filii Nabat : insuper duxit uxorem Jezabel filiam Ethbaal regis Sidoniorum. Et abiit, et servivit Baal, et adoravit eum.	31 It was not enough for him to imitate the sins of Jeroboam, son of Nebat. He even married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians, and went over to the veneration and worship of Baal.
32 Et posuit aram Baal in templo Baal, quod ædificaverat in Samaria,	32 Ahab erected an altar to Baal in the temple of Baal which he built in Samaria,
33 et plantavit lucum : et addidit Achab in opere suo, irritans Dominum Deum Israël super omnes reges Israël qui fuerunt ante eum.	33 and also made a sacred pole. He did more to anger the LORD, the God of Israel, than any of the kings of Israel before him.
34 In diebus ejus ædificavit Hiel de Bethel Jericho : in Abiram primitivo suo fundavit eam, et in Segub novissimo suo posuit portas ejus, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu Josue filii Nun.	34 During his reign, Hiel from Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He lost his first-born son, Abiram, when he laid the foundation, and his youngest son, Segub, when he set up the gates, as the LORD had foretold through Joshua, son of Nun.
