Liber IV Regum

Anno decimoseptimo Phacee filii Romeliæ, regnavit Achaz filius Joatham regis Juda.

In the seventeenth year of Phacee, the son of Romelia reigned Achaz, the son of Joatham, king of Juda.

Anno decimoseptimo Phaceh de filio de Romelia, regna Achaz filio Ioathame de rege Iuda.

Viginti annorum erat Achaz cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem. Non fecit quod erat placitum in conspectu Domini Dei sui sicut David pater ejus,

Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, his God, as David, his father.

Viginti de annos es Achaz cum regna incipe, et sedecime annos regna in Ierusalem. Non fac quod es place in conspectu de Domino de Deo suo sicut Davide patre de illo,

sed ambulavit in via regum Israël: insuper et filium suum consecravit, transferens per ignem secundum idola gentium, quæ dissipavit Dominus coram filiis Israël.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel: moreover, he consecrated also his son, making him pass through the fire, according to the idols of the nations which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.

Sed ambula in via de reges Israële: insuper et filio suo consecra, transfer per igni secundo idolas de gentes, Domino dissipa que coram filios Israële.

Immolabat quoque victimas, et adolebat incensum in excelsis, et in collibus, et sub omni ligno frondoso.

He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

Immolabase etiam victimas, et adole incenso in excelsos, et in colles, et sub omni ligno frondoso.

Tunc ascendit Rasin rex Syriæ, et Phacee filius Romeliæ rex Israël, in Jerusalem ad præliandum: cumque obsiderent Achaz, non valuerunt superare eum.

Then Rasin, king of Syria, and Phacee, son of Romelia, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to fight: and they besieged Achaz, but were not able to overcome him.

Tunc ascende Rasine rege de Syria, et Phaceh filio de Romelia rege Israële, in Ierusalem ad praelia: cumque obside Achaz, non vale supera illo.

In tempore illo restituit Rasin rex Syriæ, Ailam Syriæ, et ejecit Judæos de Aila: et Idumæi venerunt in Ailam, et habitaverunt ibi usque in diem hanc.

At that time Rasin, king of Syria, restored Aila to Syria, and drove the men of Juda out of Aila: and the Edomites came into Aila, and dwelt there unto this day.

In tempore illo Rasine rege de Syria restitue, Ailase de Syria, et eicie Iudaeos de Aila: et de Idumaeo veni in Ailase, et habita ibi usque in die hoc.

Misit autem Achaz nuntios ad Theglathphalasar regem Assyriorum, dicens: Servus tuus, et filius tuus ego sum: ascende, et salvum me fac de manu regis Syriæ, et de manu regis Israël, qui consurrexerunt adversum me.

And Achaz sent messengers to Theglathphalasar, king of the Assyrians, saying: I am thy servant, and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are risen up together against me.

Mitte autem Achaz nuntios ad Theglathphalasare rege de Assyriis, dicente: servo tuo, et filio tuo me es: ascende, et salva me fac de manu de rege de Syria, et de manu de rege Israële, qui consurge contra me.

Et cum collegisset argentum et aurum quod inveniri potuit in domo Domini et in thesauris regis, misit regi Assyriorum munera.

And when he had gathered together the silver and gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the king's treasures, he sent it for a present to the king of the Assyrians.

Et cum collige argento et auro quod inveni pote in domo de Domino et in thesauros de rege, mitte ad rege de Assyriis muneres.

Qui et acquievit voluntati ejus: ascendit enim rex Assyriorum in Damascum, et vastavit eam, et transtulit habitatores ejus Cyrenen: Rasin autem interfecit.

And he agreed to his desire: for the king of the Assyrians went up against Damascus, and laid it waste: and he carried away the inhabitants thereof to Cyrene; but Rasin he slew.

Qui et acquiesce ad voluntate de illo: rege nam de Assyriis ascende in Damasco, et vasta illa, et transfer habitatores de illo Cyreneo: rasine autem interfice.

Perrexitque rex Achaz in occursum Theglathphalasar regis Assyriorum in Damascum: cumque vidisset altare Damasci, misit rex Achaz ad Uriam sacerdotem exemplar ejus, et similitudinem juxta omne opus ejus.

And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Theglathphalasar, king of the Assyrians, and when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Achaz sent to Urias, the priest, a pattern of it, and its likeness, according to all the work thereof.

Et rege Achaz perge in occurso de Theglathphalasare de rege de Assyriis in Damasco: cumque vide altari de Damasco, rege Achaz mitte ad Uriase sacerdote exemplare de illo, et similitudine juxta omni opere de illo.

Exstruxitque Urias sacerdos altare: juxta omnia quæ præceperat rex Achaz de Damasco, ita fecit sacerdos Urias donec veniret rex Achaz de Damasco.

And Urias, the priest, built an altar according to all that king Achaz had commanded from Damascus so did Urias, the priest, until king Achaz came from Damascus.

Et Uriase sacerdote altari exstrue: juxta omni rege Achaz praecipie que de Damasco, ita sacerdote Uriase fac usque que rege Achaz veni de Damasco.

Cumque venisset rex de Damasco, vidit altare, et veneratus est illud: ascenditque et immolavit holocausta et sacrificium suum,

And when the king was come from Damascus, he saw the altar and worshipped it: and went up and offered holocausts, and his own sacrifice;

Cumque rege veni de Damasco, vide altari, et veni es illo: et ascende et immola holocausta et sacrificio suo,

et libavit libamina, et fudit sanguinem pacificorum quæ obtulerat super altare.

And he offered libations, and poured the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered, upon the altar.

Et liba libamines, et fudi sanguine de pacificas que offer super altari.

Porro altare æreum quod erat coram Domino, transtulit de facie templi, et de loco altaris, et de loco templi Domini: posuitque illud ex latere altaris ad aquilonem.

But the altar of brass that was before the Lord, he removed from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord: and he set it at the side of the altar towards the north.

Porro altari aereo quod es coram Domino, transfer de facie de templo, et de loco de altari, et de loco de templo de Domino: et pone illo ex latere de altari ad aquilone.

Præcepit quoque rex Achaz Uriæ sacerdoti, dicens: Super altare majus offer holocaustum matutinum, et sacrificium vespertinum, et holocaustum regis, et sacrificium ejus, et holocaustum universi populi terræ, et sacrificia eorum, et libamina eorum: et omnem sanguinem holocausti, et universum sanguinem victimæ super illud effundes: altare vero æreum erit paratum ad voluntatem meam.

And king Achaz commanded Urias, the priest, saying: Upon the great altar offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the king's holocaust, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the whole people of the land, and their sacrifices, and their libations: and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim, thou shalt pour out upon it: but the altar of brass shall be ready at my pleasure.

Rege etiam Achaz de Uriase ad sacerdote praecipie, dicente: super altari magna offer holocausto matutina, et sacrificio vespertino, et holocausto de rege, et sacrificio de illo, et holocausto universa de populo de terra, et sacrificios de illos, et libamines de illos: et omni sanguine de holocausto, et universa sanguine de victima super illo effunde: altari vero aereo es para ad voluntate meo.

Fecit igitur Urias sacerdos juxta omnia quæ præceperat rex Achaz.

So Urias, the priest, did according to all that king Achaz had commanded him.

Uriase ergo sacerdote fac juxta omni rege praecipie que Achaz.

Tulit autem rex Achaz cælatas bases, et luterem qui erat desuper: et mare deposuit de bobus æreis qui sustentabant illud, et posuit super pavimentum stratum lapide.

And king Achaz took away the graven bases, and the laver that was upon them: and he took down the sea from the brazen oxen that held it up, and put it upon a pavement of stone.

Fer autem rege Achaz caela basees, et luto qui es desuper: et mari depone de bobos aereo qui sustenta illo, et pone super pavimento sterne lapide.

Musach quoque sabbati quod ædificaverat in templo: et ingressum regis exterius convertit in templum Domini propter regem Assyriorum.

The Musach also for the sabbath, which he had built in the temple, and the king's entry from without, he turned into the temple of the Lord, because of the king of the Assyrians.

Musach etiam de sabbato quod aedifica in templo: et ingredior de rege exterius converte in templo de Domino propter rege de Assyriis.

Reliqua autem verborum Achaz quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Juda?

Now the rest of the acts of Achaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the of the days of the kings of Juda?

Reliqua autem de verbos Achaz que fac, nonne hoc scribe es in libro de sermones de dies de reges Iuda?

Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David: et regnavit Ezechias filius ejus pro eo.

And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ezechias, his son, reigned in his stead.

Et Achaz dormi cum patres suo, et sepeli es cum illos in civitate Davide: et Ezechiase filio de illo regna pro eo.
