Liber II Paralipomenon

Septem annorum erat Joas cum regnare cœpisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Sebia de Bersabee.

Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.

Septeme de anno es Ioase cum regna incipe, et quadraginta annos regna in Ierusalem: nomine de matre de illo Sebia de Bersabe.

Fecitque quod bonum est coram Domino cunctis diebus Jojadæ sacerdotis.

And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest.

Et fac quod bono es coram Domino cuncta dies Ioiada de sacerdote.

Accepit autem ei Jojada uxores duas, e quibus genuit filios et filias.

And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters.

Accipe autem ad illo Ioiada uxores duo, ex que gene filios et filias.

Post quæ placuit Joas ut instauraret domum Domini.

After this Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord.

Post que Ioase place ut instaura domo de Domino.

Congregavitque sacerdotes et Levitas, et dixit eis: Egredimini ad civitates Juda, et colligite de universo Israël pecuniam ad sartatecta templi Dei vestri per singulos annos, festinatoque hoc facite. Porro Levitæ egere negligentius.

And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.

Et congrega sacerdotes et Levites, et egrediminis ad illos: dic ad civitates Iuda, et collige de universa Israële pecunia ad sartatica de templo de Deo vestro per singulo annos, et festina hoc fac. Porro de Levita ege negligenter.

Vocavitque rex Jojadam principem, et dixit ei: Quare tibi non fuit curæ, ut cogeres Levitas inferre de Juda et de Jerusalem pecuniam quæ constituta est a Moyse servo Domini, ut inferret eam omnis multitudo Israël in tabernaculum testimonii?

And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony?

Et rege voca Ioiada principe, et dic ad illo: quare ad te non es ad cura, ut coge Levites infer de Iuda et de Ierusalem pecunia que constitue es ab Moyse servo de Domino, ut omni multitudine Israële infer illa in tabernaculo de testimonio?

Athalia enim impiissima, et filii ejus, destruxerunt domum Dei, et de universis quæ sanctificata fuerant in templo Domini, ornaverunt fanum Baalim.

For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.

Athalia nam impio, et filios de illo, destrue domo de Deo, et de universa que sanctifica es in templo de Domino, orna fano Baalime.

Præcepit ergo rex, et fecerunt arcam: posueruntque eam juxta portam domus Domini forinsecus.

And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.

Rege ergo praecipie, et fac arca: et pone illa juxta porta de domo de Domino forinsecus.

Et prædicatum est in Juda et Jerusalem ut deferrent singuli pretium Domino, quod constituit Moyses servus Dei super omnem Israël in deserto.

And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.

Et praedica es in Iuda et Ierusalem ut defer singulo pretio ad Domino, Moyse servo de Deo constitue quod super omni Israële in deserto.

Lætatique sunt cuncti principes, et omnis populus, et ingressi contulerunt in arcam Domini, atque miserunt ita ut impleretur.

And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going in they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.

Et laetor es cuncta principes, et omni populo, et ingredior confer in arca de Domino, et mitte ita ut imple.

Cumque tempus esset ut deferrent arcam coram rege per manus Levitarum (videbant enim multam pecuniam), ingrediebatur scriba regis, et quem primus sacerdos constituerat, effundebantque pecuniam quæ erat in arca, porro arcam reportabant ad locum suum: sicque faciebant per singulos dies. Et congregata est infinita pecunia,

And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money.

Cumque tempore es ut defer arca coram rege per manus de Levites (vide nam multo pecunia), ingredior scriba de rege, et primo sacerdote constitue quem, et effunde pecunia que es in arca, porro arca reporta ad loco suo: et sic fac per singulo dies. Et congrega es infinita pecunia,

quam dederunt rex et Jojada his qui præerant operibus domus Domini: at illi conducebant ex ea cæsores lapidum, et artifices operum singulorum ut instaurarent domum Domini: fabros quoque ferri et æris, ut quod cadere cœperat, fulciretur.

And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.

Rege et Ioiada ad hoc qui praesume ad operes de domo de Domino da quam: sed illo conduce ex illa caesores de lapides, et artifices de operes singulo ut instaura domo de Domino: fabres etiam fer et de aera, ut quod cade incipe, fulcie.

Egeruntque hi qui operabantur industrie, et obducebatur parietum cicatrix per manus eorum, ac suscitaverunt domum Domini in statum pristinum, et firmiter eam stare fecerunt.

And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.

Et ege hoc qui operor industrie, et de parietes cicatrice obduce per manus de illos, et suscita domo de Domino in statere pristino, et firmiter illa sta fac.

Cumque complessent omnia opera, detulerunt coram rege et Jojada reliquam partem pecuniæ: de qua facta sunt vasa templi in ministerium, et ad holocausta, phialæ quoque, et cetera vasa aurea et argentea: offerebantur holocausta in domo Domini jugiter cunctis diebus Jojadæ.

And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.

Cumque comple omni operes, defer coram rege et Ioiada reliqua parte de pecunia: de quo facto es vases de templo in ministerio, et ad holocaustas, phialas etiam, et cetero vases aurea et argenteo: holocausta offer in domo de Domino iugiter cuncta dies Ioiada.

Senuit autem Jojada plenus dierum, et mortuus est cum esset centum triginta annorum:

But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.

Ioiada autem plena de dies senesce, et morto es cum es cento triginta de annos:

sepelieruntque eum in civitate David cum regibus, eo quod fecisset bonum cum Israël, et cum domo ejus.

And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house.

Et sepeli illo in civitate Davide cum reges, eo quod fac bono cum Israële, et cum domo de illo.

Postquam autem obiit Jojada, ingressi sunt principes Juda, et adoraverunt regem: qui delinitus obsequiis eorum, acquievit eis.

And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them.

Postquam autem obe Ioiada, ingredior es principes Iuda, et adora rege: qui deline obsequios de illos, acquiesce ad illos.

Et dereliquerunt templum Domini Dei patrum suorum, servieruntque lucis et sculptilibus: et facta est ira contra Judam et Jerusalem propter hoc peccatum.

And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.

Et derelinque templo de Domino de Deo de patres suo, et servi de luce et ad sculptili: et facto es ira contra Iudase et Ierusalem propter hoc peccato.

Mittebatque eis prophetas ut reverterentur ad Dominum, quos protestantes illi audire nolebant.

And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.

Et mitte ad illos prophetas ut reverte ad Domino, que protestor illo audire ne vol.

Spiritus itaque Dei induit Zachariam filium Jojadæ sacerdotem, et stetit in conspectu populi, et dixit eis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quare transgredimini præceptum Domini, quod vobis non proderit, et dereliquistis Dominum ut derelinqueret vos?

The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you?

Spiritu itaque de Deo indue Zachariase filio de Ioiada sacerdote, et sta in conspectu de populo, et dic ad illos: Domino Deo dic hoc: quare transgredior praecepto de Domino, quod ad vos non prosum, et derelinque Domino ut derelinque vos?

Qui congregati adversus eum, miserunt lapides juxta regis imperium in atrio domus Domini.

And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king's commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.

Qui congrega contra illo, mitte lapides juxta rege imperio in atrio de domo de Domino.

Et non est recordatus Joas rex misericordiæ quam fecerat Jojada pater illius secum, sed interfecit filium ejus. Qui cum moreretur, ait: Videat Dominus, et requirat.

And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it.

Et non es recordor Ioase rege de misericordia Ioiada patre de illo fac quam se, sed interfice filio de illo. Qui cum more, dic: Domino vide, et require.

Cumque evolutus esset annus, ascendit contra eum exercitus Syriæ: venitque in Judam et Jerusalem, et interfecit cunctos principes populi, atque universam prædam miserunt regi in Damascum.

And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.

Cumque evolve es anno, exercitu contra illo de Syria ascende: et veni in Iudase et Ierusalem, et principes de populo interfice cunga, et universa praeda mitte ad rege in Damasco.

Et certe cum permodicus venisset numerus Syrorum, tradidit Dominus in manibus eorum infinitam multitudinem, eo quod dereliquissent Dominum Deum patrum suorum: in Joas quoque ignominiosa exercuere judicia.

And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.

Et certe cum permodico numero Syroro veni, Domino trade in manus de illos infinita multitudine, eo quod derelinque Domino Deo de patres suo: in Ioase etiam ignominioso exercue iudicios.

Et abeuntes dimiserunt eum in languoribus magnis: surrexerunt autem contra eum servi sui in ultionem sanguinis filii Jojadæ sacerdotis, et occiderunt eum in lectulo suo, et mortuus est: sepelieruntque eum in civitate David, sed non in sepulchris regum.

And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.

Et i ab dimitte illo in languores magna: servos autem contra illo suo surge in ultione de sanguine de filio Ioiada de sacerdote, et occide illo in lectulo suo, et morto es: et sepeli illo in civitate Davide, sed non in sepulchros de reges.

Insidiati vero sunt ei Zabad filius Semaath Ammanitidis, et Jozabad filius Semmarith Moabitidis.

Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.

Insidiatos vero es ad illo Zabade filio Semaath de Ammanitida, et Iozabade filio Semmarith de Moabitido.

Porro filii ejus, ac summa pecuniæ quæ adunata fuerat sub eo, et instauratio domus Dei, scripta sunt diligentius in libro regum: regnavit autem Amasias filius ejus pro eo.

And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God, they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.

Porro filios de illo, et summo de pecunia que aduna es sub eo, et instauratione domo de Deo, scribe es diligenter in libro de reges: Amasiase autem filio de illo regna pro eo.
