Liber IV Regum

Prævaricatus est autem Moab in Israël, postquam mortuus est Achab.

And Moab rebelled against Israel, after the death of Achab.

Praevaricor es autem Moabe in Israële, postquam morto es Achabe.

Ceciditque Ochozias per cancellos cœnaculi sui, quod habebat in Samaria, et ægrotavit: misitque nuntios, dicens ad eos: Ite, consulite Beelzebub deum Accaron, utrum vivere queam de infirmitate mea hac.

And Ochozias fell through the lattices of his upper chamber, which he had in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, saying to them: Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my illness.

Et Ochoziase cade per cancellos de coenaculo suo, quod habe in Samaria, et aegrota: et mitte nuntios, dicente ad illos: greek.expression, consule Beelzebube deo Accarone, utro vive pote de infirmitate meo hoc.

Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens: Surge, et ascende in occursum nuntiorum regis Samariæ, et dices ad eos: Numquid non est Deus in Israël, ut eatis ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron?

And an angel of the Lord spoke to Elias, the Thesbite, saying: Arise, and go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them: Is there not a God in Israel, that ye go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron?

Angelo autem de Domino locuto es ad Eliase Thesbitene, dicente: surge, et ascende in occurso de nuntios de rege de Samaria, et dic ad illos: numquid non es Deo in Israële, ut i ad consule Beelzebube deo Accarone?

Quam ob rem hæc dicit Dominus: De lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris. Et abiit Elias.

Wherefore, thus saith the Lord: From the bed, on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die. And Elias went away.

Quam ob re Domino dic hoc: de lectulo, super quem ascende, non descende, sed morte more. Et Eliase i ab.

Reversique sunt nuntii ad Ochoziam. Qui dixit eis: Quare reversi estis?

And the messengers turned back to Ochozias. And he said to them: Why are you come back?

Et reverte es nuntios ad Ochozia. Qui dic ad illos: quare reverte es?

At illi responderunt ei: Vir occurrit nobis, et dixit ad nos: Ite, et revertimini ad regem qui misit vos, et dicetis ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Numquid quia non erat Deus in Israël, mittis ut consulatur Beelzebub deus Accaron? idcirco de lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.

But they answered him: A man met us, and said to us: Go, and return to the king, that sent you, and you shall say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel, that thou sendest to Beelzebub, the god of Accaron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed, on which thou art gone up, but thou shalt surely die.

Sed illo responde ad illo: viro occurre ad nos, et dic ad nos: greek.expression, et reverte ad rege qui mitte vos, et dic ad illo: Domino dic hoc: numquid quia non es Deo in Israële, mitte ut deo Beelzebube consule Accarone? Ergo de lectulo, super quem ascende, non descende, sed morte more.

Qui dixit eis: Cujus figuræ et habitus est vir ille, qui occurrit vobis, et locutus est verba hæc?

And he said to them: What manner of man was he who met you, and spoke these words?

Qui dic ad illos: de que de figura et habito es viro illo, qui occurre ad vos, et locuto es verbos hoc?

At illi dixerunt: Vir pilosus, et zona pellicea accinctus renibus. Qui ait: Elias Thesbites est.

But they said: A hairy man, with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said: It is Elias, the Thesbite.

Sed illo dic: viro piloso, et zona pellicea accinge renes. Qui dic: eliase Thesbite es.

Misitque ad eum quinquagenarium principem, et quinquaginta qui erant sub eo. Qui ascendit ad eum: sedentique in vertice montis, ait: Homo Dei, rex præcepit ut descendas.

And he sent to him a captain of fifty, and the fifty men that were under him. And he went up to him, and as he was sitting on the top of a hill, he said to him: Man of God, the king hath commanded that thou come down.

Et mitte ad illo quinquagenare principe, et quinquaginta qui es sub eo. Qui ascende ad illo: et sede in vertice de monte, dic: homine de Deo, rege praecipie ut descende.

Respondensque Elias, dixit quinquagenario: Si homo Dei sum, descendat ignis de cælo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit itaque ignis de cælo, et devoravit eum, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo.

And Elias answering, said to the captain of fifty: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume thee, and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven and consumed him, and the fifty that were with him.

Et respondente Eliase, dic ad quinquagro: si homine de Deo es, igni descende de caelo, et devora te, et quinquaginta tuo. Igni itaque descende de caelo, et devora illo, et quinquaginta qui es cum eo.

Rursumque misit ad eum principem quinquagenarium alterum, et quinquaginta cum eo. Qui locutus est illi: Homo Dei, hæc dicit rex: Festina, descende.

And he again sent to him another captain of fifty men, and his fifty with him. And he said to him: Man of God: Thus saith the king: Make haste and come down.

Et mursus mitte ad illo principe quinquagenare altero, et quinquaginta cum eo. Qui locuto es ad illo: homine de Deo, rege dic hoc: festina, descende.

Respondens Elias, ait: Si homo Dei ego sum, descendat ignis de cælo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit ergo ignis de cælo, et devoravit illum, et quinquaginta ejus.

Elias answering, said: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee, and thy fifty. And fire came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

Respondente Eliase, dic: si homine de Deo me es, igni descende de caelo, et devora te, et quinquaginta tuo. Igni ergo descende de caelo, et devora illo, et quinquaginta de illo.

Iterum misit principem quinquagenarium tertium, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo. Qui cum venisset, curvavit genua contra Eliam, et precatus est eum, et ait: Homo Dei, noli despicere animam meam, et animas servorum tuorum qui mecum sunt.

Again he sent a third captain of fifty men, and the fifty that were with him. And when he was come, he fell upon his knees before Elias, and besought him, and said: Man of God, despise not my life, and the lives of thy servants that are with me.

Iterum mitte principe quinquagenare tertio, et quinquaginta qui es cum eo. Qui cum veni, curva genus contra Eliase, et preca es illo, et homine: de Deo dic, ne vol despice anima meo, et animas de servos tuo qui mecum es.

Ecce descendit ignis de cælo, et devoravit duos principes quinquagenarios primos, et quinquagenos qui cum eis erant: sed nunc obsecro ut miserearis animæ meæ.

Behold fire came down from heaven, and consumed the two first captains of fifty men, and the fifties that were with them: but now I beseech thee to spare my life.

Ecce igni descende de caelo, et devora duo principe quinquagro primo, et quinquageni qui cum illos es: sed nunc obsecra ut misereor ad anima meo.

Locutus est autem angelus Domini ad Eliam, dicens: Descende cum eo: ne timeas. Surrexit igitur, et descendit cum eo ad regem,

And the angel of the Lord spoke to Elias, saying: Go down with him, fear not. He arose therefore, and went down with him to the king,

Locuto es autem angelo de Domino ad Eliase, dicente: descende cum eo: ne time. Surge ergo, et descende cum eo ad rege,

et locutus est ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Quia misisti nuntios ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron, quasi non esset Deus in Israël a quo posses interrogare sermonem, ideo de lectulo super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.

And said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, as though there were not a God in Israel, of whom thou mightest inquire the word; therefore, from the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die.

Et locuto es ad illo: Domino dic hoc: quia mitte nuntios ad consule Beelzebube deo Accarone, quasi non Deo es in Israële ab quo pote interroga sermone, ideo de lectulo super quem ascende, non descende, sed morte more.

Mortuus est ergo juxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est Elias, et regnavit Joram frater ejus pro eo, anno secundo Joram filii Josaphat regis Judæ: non enim habebat filium.

So he died, according to the word of the Lord, which Elias spoke; and Joram, his brother, reigned in his stead, in the second year of Joram, the son of Josaphat, king of Juda, because he had no son.

Morto es ergo juxta sermone de Domino quem locuto es Eliase, et Iorame fratre de illo regna pro eo, anno secundo Iorame de filio Iosaphate de rege de Iudase: non nam habe filio.

Reliqua autem verborum Ochoziæ quæ operatus est, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israël?

But the rest of the acts of Ochozias, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Reliqua autem de verbos de Ochozia que operor es, nonne hoc scribe es in libro de sermones de dies de reges Israële?
