Liber IV Regum

Anno duodecimo Achaz regis Juda, regnavit Osee filius Ela in Samaria super Israël novem annis.

In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria, over Israel, nine years.

Anno duodecimo Achaz de rege Iuda, Osee filio Ela regna in Samaria super Israële noveme anno.

Fecitque malum coram Domino, sed non sicut reges Israël qui ante eum fuerant.

And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.

Et fac malo coram Domino, sed non sicut reges Israële qui ante illo es.

Contra hunc ascendit Salmanasar rex Assyriorum, et factus est ei Osee servus, reddebatque illi tributa.

Against him came up Salmanasar, king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.

Contra hoc Salmanasar rege de Assyriis ascende, et facto es ad illo Osee servo, et redde ad illo tributos.

Cumque deprehendisset rex Assyriorum Osee, quod rebellare nitens misisset nuntios ad Sua regem Ægypti ne præstaret tributa regi Assyriorum sicut singulis annis solitus erat, obsedit eum, et vinctum misit in carcerem.

And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee, endeavouring to rebel, had sent messengers to Sua, the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison.

Cumque rege de Assyriis Osee depr(eh)enda, quod rebella nitor mitte nuntios ad Suo rege de Aegypto ne praesta tributos ad rege de Assyriis sicut singulo annos sole es, obside illo, et vince mitte in carcere.

Pervagatusque est omnem terram: et ascendens Samariam, obsedit eam tribus annis.

And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.

Et pervaga es omni terra: et ascende Samaria, obside illa tre anno.

Anno autem nono Osee, cepit rex Assyriorum Samariam, et transtulit Israël in Assyrios: posuitque eos in Hala et in Habor juxta fluvium Gozan, in civitatibus Medorum.

And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala, and Habor, by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.

Anno autem nono Osee, rege de Assyriis cape Samaria, et transfer Israële in Assyriis: et pone illos in Hala et in Habore juxta fluvio Gozane, in civitates de Medios.

Factum est enim, cum peccassent filii Israël Domino Deo suo, qui eduxerat eos de terra Ægypti, de manu Pharaonis regis Ægypti, coluerunt deos alienos.

For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord, their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao, king of Egypt; and they worshipped strange gods.

Facto es nam, cum filios Israële pecca ad Domino ad Deo suo, qui educe illos de terra de Aegypto, de manu de Pharaone de rege de Aegypto, cole deos aliena.

Et ambulaverunt juxta ritum gentium quas consumpserat Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël et regum Israël, quia similiter fecerant.

And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.

Et ambula juxta ritu de gentes Domino consume que in conspectu de filios Israële et de reges Israële, quia similiter fac.

Et offenderunt filii Israël verbis non rectis Dominum Deum suum: et ædificaverunt sibi excelsa in cunctis urbibus suis, a turre custodum usque ad civitatem munitam.

And the children of Israel offended the Lord, their God, with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

Et filios Israële offende verbos non recide Domino Deo suo: et aedifica ad se excelso in cuncta urbes suo, ab turre de custodos usque ad civitate munita.

Feceruntque sibi statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi, et subter omne lignum nemorosum:

And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:

Et fac ad se statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi, et subter omni ligno nemoroso:

et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in morem gentium quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum: feceruntque verba pessima irritantes Dominum.

And they burnt incense there upon altars, after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.

Et adole ibi incenso super aras in more de gentes Domino transfer que ab facie de illos: et fac verbos pessima irrita Domino.

Et coluerunt immunditias de quibus præcepit eis Dominus ne facerent verbum hoc.

And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.

Et cole immunditias de que Domino ad illos praecipie ne fac verbo hoc.

Et testificatus est Dominus in Israël et in Juda per manum omnium prophetarum et videntium, dicens: Revertimini a viis vestris pessimis, et custodite præcepta mea et cæremonias, juxta omnem legem quam præcepi patribus vestris, et sicut misi ad vos in manu servorum meorum prophetarum.

And the Lord testified to them in Israel, and in Juda, by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.

Et testificor es Domino in Israële et in Iuda per manu de omni de prophetas et vide, dicente: reverte ab vias vestro pessima, et custodi praeceptos meo et caeremonias, juxta omni lege quam praecipie ad patres vestro, et sicut mitte ad vos in manu de servos meo de prophetas.

Qui non audierunt, sed induraverunt cervicem suam juxta cervicem patrum suorum, qui noluerunt obedire Domino Deo suo.

And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord, their God.

Qui non audi, sed indura cervice suo juxta cervice de patres suo, qui ne vol obedi ad Domino ad Deo suo.

Et abjecerunt legitima ejus, et pactum quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, et testificationes quibus contestatus est eos: secutique sunt vanitates, et vane egerunt: et secuti sunt gentes quæ erant per circuitum eorum, super quibus præceperat Dominus eis ut non facerent sicut et illæ faciebant.

And they rejected his ordinances, and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.

Et abice legitima de illo, et paciscor quod peri cum patres de illos, et testificationes ad que contesta es illos: et seque es vanitates, et vane age: et seque es gentes que es per circuitu de illos, super que Domino praecipie ad illos ut non fac sicut et illo fac.

Et dereliquerunt omnia præcepta Domini Dei sui: feceruntque sibi conflatiles duos vitulos, et lucos, et adoraverunt universam militiam cæli: servieruntque Baal,

And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord, their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal,

Et derelinque omni praeceptos de Domino de Deo suo: et fac ad se conflatile duo vitulo, et lucos, et adora universa militia de caelo: et servi Baale,

et consecraverunt filios suos et filias suas per ignem: et divinationibus inserviebant, et auguriis: et tradiderunt se ut facerent malum coram Domino, ut irritarent eum.

And consecrated their sons, and their daughters, through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.

Et consecra filios suo et filias suo per igni: et divinationes inservie, et augurias: et trade se ut fac malo coram Domino, ut irrita illo.

Iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israëli, et abstulit eos a conspectu suo, et non remansit nisi tribus Juda tantummodo.

And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.

Et irato es Domino vehementer Israëlo, et aufer illos ab conspectu suo, et non remane nisi tre Iuda tantummodo.

Sed nec ipse Juda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui: verum ambulavit in erroribus Israël, quos operatus fuerat.

But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord, their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.

Sed nec ipso Iuda custodi mandatos de Domino de Deo suo: verissimo ambula in errores Israële, que operor es.

Projecitque Dominus omne semen Israël, et afflixit eos, et tradidit eos in manu diripientium, donec projiceret eos a facie sua:

And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:

Et Domino proicie omni semine Israële, et afflige illos, et trade illos in manu diripe, usque que proiice illos ab facie suo:

ex eo jam tempore quo scissus est Israël a domo David, et constituerunt sibi regem Jeroboam filium Nabat: separavit enim Jeroboam Israël a Domino, et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum.

Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam, son of Nabat, their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.

Ex eo jam tempore quo scinde es Israële ab domo Davide, et constitue ad se rege Ieroboame filio Nabate: separa nam Ieroboame Israële ab Domino, et pecca illos fac peccato magna.

Et ambulaverunt filii Israël in universis peccatis Jeroboam quæ fecerat: et non recesserunt ab eis,

And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,

Et filios Israële ambula in universa peccatos Ieroboame que fac: et non recede ab illos,

usquequo Dominus auferret Israël a facie sua, sicut locutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum prophetarum: translatusque est Israël de terra sua in Assyrios, usque in diem hanc.

Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants, the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day.

Usquequo Domino aufer Israële ab facie suo, sicut locuto es in manu de omni de servos suo de prophetas: et transfer es Israële de terra suo in Assyriis, usque in die hoc.

Adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone, et de Cutha, et de Avah, et de Emath, et de Sepharvaim: et collocavit eos in civitatibus Samariæ pro filiis Israël: qui possederunt Samariam, et habitaverunt in urbibus ejus.

And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

Rege autem de Assyriis adduce de Babylone, et de Cutha, et de Avah, et de Emath, et de Sepharvaime: et colloca illos in civitates de Samaria pro filios Israële: qui posside Samaria, et habita in urbes de illo.

Cumque ibi habitare cœpissent, non timebant Dominum: et immisit in eos Dominus leones, qui interficiebant eos.

And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.

Cumque ibi habita incipe, non time Domino: et immitte in illos Domino leones, qui interfice illos.

Nuntiatumque est regi Assyriorum, et dictum: Gentes quas transtulisti, et habitare fecisti in civitatibus Samariæ, ignorant legitima Dei terræ: et immisit in eos Dominus leones, et ecce interficiunt eos, eo quod ignorent ritum Dei terræ.

And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

Et nuntia es ad rege de Assyriis, et dicto: gentes que transfer, et habita fac in civitates de Samaria, ignora legitima de Deo de terra: et Domino in illos immitte leones, et ecce interfice illos, eo quod ignora ritu de Deo de terra.

Præcepit autem rex Assyriorum, dicens: Ducite illuc unum de sacerdotibus quos inde captivos adduxistis, et vadat, et habitet cum eis: et doceat eos legitima Dei terræ.

And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.

Rege autem de Assyriis praecipie, dicente: duc illuc uno de sacerdotes que inde captivas adduce, et vade, et habita cum illos: et doce illos legitima de Deo de terra.

Igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his qui captivi ducti fuerant de Samaria, habitavit in Bethel, et docebat eos quomodo colerent Dominum.

So one of the priests, who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.

Ergo cum uno de sacerdotes hoc qui captivas duc es de Samaria veni, habita in Bethele, et doce illos quomodo cole Domino.

Et unaquæque gens fabricata est deum suum: posueruntque eos in fanis excelsis quæ fecerant Samaritæ, gens et gens in urbibus suis, in quibus habitabat.

And every nation made gods of their own and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.

Et et unusquis gente fabrica es deo suo: et pone illos in fanes excelso que fac Samaritas, gente et gente in urbes suo, in que habita.

Viri enim Babylonii fecerunt Sochothbenoth: viri autem Cuthæi fecerunt Nergel: et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima.

For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.

Viros nam Babyloniis fac Sochothbenoth: viros autem de Cuthaeo fac Nergele: et viros de Emath fac Asima.

Porro Hevæi fecerunt Nebahaz et Tharthac. Hi autem qui erant de Sepharvaim, comburebant filios suos igni, Adramelech et Anamelech diis Sepharvaim,

And the Hevites made Nebahaz, and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

Porro Hevaeio fac Nebahaz et Tharthace. Illo autem qui es de Sepharvaime, combure filios suo igni, Adramelech et Anamelech dies Sepharvaime,

et nihilominus colebant Dominum. Fecerunt autem sibi de novissimis sacerdotes excelsorum, et ponebant eos in fanis sublimibus.

And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.

Et nihilominus cole Domino. Fac autem ad se de novissimo sacerdotes de excelsores, et pone illos in fanes sublime.

Et cum Dominum colerent, diis quoque suis serviebant juxta consuetudinem gentium, de quibus translati fuerant Samariam.

And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods, according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:

Et cum Domino cole, dies etiam suo servi juxta consuetudine de gentes, de que transfer es Samaria.

Usque in præsentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum: non timent Dominum, neque custodiunt cæremonias ejus, judicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod præceperat Dominus filiis Jacob, quem cognominavit Israël:

Unto this day they follow the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:

Usque in praesenti die more seque antiquo: non time Domino, neque custodi caeremonias de illo, iudicios, et lege, et mandato, Domino praecipie quod ad filios Iacobo, Israële cognomina quem:

et percusserat cum eis pactum, et mandaverat eis, dicens: Nolite timere deos alienos, et non adoretis eos, neque colatis eos, et non immoletis eis:

With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.

Et percute cum illos paciscor, et manda ad illos, dicente: ne vol time deos aliena, et non adora illos, neque cole illos, et non immola ad illos:

sed Dominum Deum vestrum, qui eduxit vos de terra Ægypti in fortitudine magna et in brachio extento, ipsum timete, et illum adorate, et ipsi immolate.

But the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.

Sed Domino Deo vestro, qui educe vos de terra de Aegypto in fortitudine magna et in brachio extende, ipso time, et illo adora, et ipso immola.

Cæremonias quoque, et judicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod scripsit vobis, custodite ut faciatis cunctis diebus: et non timeatis deos alienos.

And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.

Caeremonias etiam, et iudicios, et lege, et mandato, quod scribe ad vos, custodi ut fac cuncta dies: et non time deos aliena.

Et pactum quod percussit vobiscum, nolite oblivisci: nec colatis deos alienos,

And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange Gods,

Et paciscor vos percute quod, ne vol obliviscor: nec cole deos aliena,

sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete, et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum.

But fear the Lord, your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

Sed Domino Deo vestro time, et ipso erue vos de manu de omni de inimicos vestro.

Illi vero non audierunt, sed juxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant.

But they did not hearken to them, but did according to their old custom.

Illo vero non audi, sed juxta consuetudine suo pristino perpetra.

Fuerunt igitur gentes istæ timentes quidem Dominum, sed nihilominus et idolis suis servientes: nam et filii eorum, et nepotes, sicut fecerunt patres sui, ita faciunt usque in præsentem diem.

So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also, and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.

Gentes ergo isto es time quidem Domino, sed nihilominus et ad idolos suo servi: nam et filios de illos, et nepotes, sicut patres suo fac, ita fac usque in praesenti die.
