28 — 2 Paralipomenon

1Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done,Achaz avea venti anni quando cominciò a regnare; e regnò sedici anni in Gerusalemme: egli non operò con rettitudine dinanzi al Signore, come David suo padre:TWENTIE yeares old was Achaz when he began to reigne, & he reigned sixtene yeares in Ierusalem: he did not right in the sight of our Lord as Dauid his father.Viginti annorum erat Achaz cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem. Non fecit rectum in conspectu Domini sicut David pater ejus, 2But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim.Ma battè la via dei re d'Israele: e di più fece di getto statue a Baalim.but walked in the wayes of the kinges of Israel, moreouer also he did cast statues to Baalim.sed ambulavit in viis regum Israël, insuper et statuas fudit Baalim. 3It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel.Egli fu, che abbruciò incenso nella valle di Benennom, e fece passare pel fuoco i suoi figliuoli, secondo il rito delle nazioni sterminate dal Signore all'arrivo de' figliuoli d'Israele.He it is that burnt incense to the Valebenennom, and he consecrated his sonnes in fire according to the rite of the nations, which our Lord slewe in the coming of the children of Israel.Ipse est qui adolevit incensum in valle Benennom, et lustravit filios suos in igne juxta ritum gentium quas interfecit Dominus in adventu filiorum Israël. 4He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.Egli parimente sacrificava, e bruciava timiami ne' luoghi eccelsi, e sui colli, e sotto ogni pianta ombrosa.He sacrified also, & burnt incense in the excelses, & on hilles, and vnder euerie tree ful of grene leaues.Sacrificabat quoque, et thymiama succendebat in excelsis, et in collibus, et sub omni ligno frondoso. 5And the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew him with a great slaughter.E il Signore Dio suo lo diede in potere del re di Siria, il quale lo sconfisse, e preda grande porto via dal suo reame a Damasco. Fu anche dato in potere del re d'Israele, il quale gli diede una gran rotta.And our Lord his God deliuered him into the handes of the king of Syria, who stroke him, and tooke a great praye out of his kingdom, & brought into Damascus: to the handes also of the king of Israel was he deliuered, and striken with a great plague.Tradiditque eum Dominus Deus ejus in manu regis Syriæ, qui percussit eum, magnamque prædam cepit de ejus imperio, et adduxit in Damascum: manibus quoque regis Israël traditus est, et percussus plaga grandi.

6For Phacee the son of Romelia slew of Juda a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers.E Phacea, figliuolo di Romelia, uccise in un giorno cento venti mila uomini di Giuda, tutta gente di valore: perchè eglino aveano abbandonato il Signore Dio de' padri loro.And Phacee the sonne of Romelia slewe of Iuda an hundred twentie thousand in one day, al men of warre: for that they had forsaken our Lord the God of their fathers.Occiditque Phacee filius Romeliæ, de Juda centum viginti millia in die uno, omnes viros bellatores: eo quod reliquissent Dominum Deum patrum suorum. 7At the same time Zechri a powerful man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king’s son, and Ezricam the governor of his house, and Elcana who was next to the king.Nel tempo stesso Zechri, uomo potente in Ephraim, uccise Maasia figliuolo del re, ed Ezrica suo maggiordomo, e anche Elcana, che teneva il secondo posto dopo il re.At that time Zechri a mightie man of Ephraim, slewe Maasias the kinges sonne, and Ezricam the gouernour of his house, Elcana also second from the king.Eodem tempore occidit Zechri, vir potens ex Ephraim, Maasiam filium regis, et Ezricam ducem domus ejus, Elcanam quoque secundum a rege. 8And the children of Israel carried away of their brethren two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and an immense booty: and they brought it to Samaria.E i figliuoli d'Israele fecero prigionieri dugento mila dei loro fratelli, donne, fanciulli, e fanciulle; e fecero preda infinita, e la portarono in Samaria.And the children of Israel tooke of their brethren two hundred thousand of wemen, of boyes, and of wenches, and an infinite praye: and they brought it into Samaria.Ceperuntque filii Israël de fratribus suis ducenta millia mulierum, puerorum, et puellarum, et infinitam prædam: pertuleruntque eam in Samariam. 9At that time there was a prophet of the Lord there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: Behold the Lord the God of your fathers being angry with Juda, hath delivered them into your hands, and you have butchered them cruelly, so that your cruelty hath reached up to heaven.In quel tempo era colà un profeta del Signore di nome Obed: il quale essendo andato incontro all'esercito, che veniva a Samaria, disse loro: Ecco che il Signore Dio de' padri vostri sdegnato contro Giuda, gli ha dati in poter vostro; e voi gli avete trucidati senza misericordia, talmente che la vostra crudeltà è giunta sino al cielo.At that time there was a Prophete of our Lord, named Oded: who going forth to meete the armie coming into Samaria, sayd to them: Behold our Lord the God of your fathers being angrie against Iuda, hath deliuered them into your handes, and you haue slayne them cruelly, so that your crueltie did reach to heauen.Ea tempestate erat ibi propheta Domini, nomine Oded: qui egressus obviam exercitui venienti in Samariam, dixit eis: Ecce iratus Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum contra Juda, tradidit eos in manibus vestris, et occidistis eos atrociter, ita ut ad cælum pertingeret vestra crudelitas.

10Moreover you have a mind to keep under the children of Juda and Jerusalem for your bondmen and bondwomen, which ought not to be done: for you have sinned in this against the Lord your God.E di più voi pretendete di soggettare a voi come schiavi, e come schiave i figliuoli, e le figlie di Giuda, e di Gerusalemme: ma questo non è da comportarsi: e voi in questo peccate contro il Signore Dio vostro.Moreouer the children of Iuda and Ierusalem you wil subdue vnto you for bondmen and bondwemen, which nedeth not to be done: for you haue sinned hereupon to our Lord your God.Insuper filios Juda et Jerusalem vultis vobis subjicere in servos et ancillas: quod nequaquam facto opus est: peccastis enim super hoc Domino Deo vestro. 11But hear ye my counsel, and release the captives that you have brought of your brethren, because a great indignation of the Lord hangeth over you.Ma fate a modo mio, e riconducete alle case loro questi prigionieri fratelli vostri, che avete condotti qua: perocché il furor grande del Signore sta pendente sopra di voi.But heare ye my counsel, and carie backe the captiues, that you haue brought of your brethren, because the great furie of our Lord hangeth ouer you.Sed audite consilium meum, et reducite captivos quos adduxistis de fratribus vestris, quia magnus furor Domini imminet vobis. 12Then some of the chief men of the sons of Ephraim, Azarias the son of Johanan, Barachias the son of Mosollamoth, Ezechias the son of Sellum, and Amasa the son of Adali, stood up against them that came from the war.Si fermarono adunque alcuni dei principi de' figliuoli di Ephraim, Azaria figliuolo di Jonanan, Barachia figliuolo di Mosollamoth, Ezechia figliuolo di Sellum, e Amasti figliuolo di Adali in faccia a quelli, che tornavano dalla battaglia.There stood therfore princes of the children of Ephraim, Azarias the sonne of Iohanan, Barachias the sonne of Mosollomoth, Ezechias the sonne of Sellum, and Amasa the sonne of Hadali, against them that came out of the battel,Steterunt itaque viri de principibus filiorum Ephraim, Azarias filius Johanan, Barachias filius Mosollamoth, Ezechias filius Sellum, et Amasa filius Adali, contra eos qui veniebant de prælio, 13And they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.E disser loro: Voi non condurrete qua dentro questi prigionieri, perchè noi peccheremmo contro il Signore. Perchè volete aggiunger questo ai nostri peccati, e colmar la misura delle antiche colpe? perocché questo è un gran peccato, e l'ira furibonda del Signore sta sopra Israele.and they sayd to them: You shal not bring in the captiues hither, lest we sinne to our Lord. Why wil you adde vpon our sinnes, and heape vp old offences? for it is a great sinne, and the anger of the furie of our Lord hangeth ouer Israel.et dixerunt eis: Non introducetis huc captivos, ne peccemus Domino. Quare vultis adjicere super peccata nostra, et vetera cumulare delicta ? grande quippe peccatum est, et ira furoris Domini imminet super Israël.

14So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.Or quegli uomini guerrieri lasciarono la preda, e tutto quello, che aveano acquistato, dinanzi a que' principi, e a tutta la moltitudine.And the men of warre dismist the pray, & al the thinges that they had taken, before the princes and al the multitude.Dimiseruntque viri bellatores prædam, et universa quæ ceperant, coram principibus, et omni multitudine. 15And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives, and with the spoils clothed all them that were naked: and when they had clothed and shod them, and refreshed them with meat and drink, and anointed them because of their labour, and had taken care of them, they set such of them as could not walk, and were feeble, upon beasts, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm trees to their brethren, and they returned to Samaria.E quelli, che abbiam nominati di sopra, presero i prigionieri, e quei, che erano ignudi, e li rivestirono delle spoglie: e vestiti, e calzati, e ristorati di cibo, e di bevanda, gli unsero per sollevarli dalla stanchezza, e ne ebbero gran cura: e quelli, che non potevano camminare, ed erano deboli di corpo, li posero sopra degli asini, e li condussero a Gerico, città delle palme, ai loro fratelli, ed eglino se ne tornarono a SamariaAnd the men, whom we mentioned aboue, stood and taking the captiues, and al that were naked they clothed and shod them, with the spoyles: and when they had clothed and refreshed them with meate and drinke, and annoynted them because of their labour, and had looked carefully to them: as manie as could not walke, and were of a weake bodie, they set on beastes, and brought them to Iericho the Citie of palme trees to their brethren, and themselues returned into Samaria.Steteruntque viri quos supra memoravimus, et apprehendentes captivos, omnesque qui nudi erant, vestierunt de spoliis: cumque vestissent eos, et calceassent, et refecissent cibo ac potu, unxissentque propter laborem, et adhibuissent eis curam: quicumque ambulare non poterant, et erant imbecillo corpore, imposuerunt eos jumentis, et adduxerunt Jericho civitatem palmarum ad fratres eorum, ipsique reversi sunt in Samariam. 16At that time king Achaz sent to the king of the Assyrians asking help.In quel tempo il re Achaz mandò a chiedere aiuto al re degli Assiri.At that time king Achaz sent to the king of the Assyrians asking helpe.Tempore illo misit rex Achaz ad regem Assyriorum, postulans auxilium. 17And the Edomites came and slew many of Juda, and took a great booty.E gl'Idumei entrarono nel paese di Giuda, e uccisero molta gente, e fecero gran preda.And the Idumeans came and stroke manie of Iuda, and tooke a great praye.Veneruntque Idumæi, et percusserunt multos ex Juda, et ceperunt prædam magnam.

18The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them.E i Filistei parimente inondarono le città della pianura, e la parte meridionale di Giuda: e presero Bethsames, e Aialon, e Gaderoth, e anche Socho, e Thamnan, e Gamzo co' loro castelli, e vi si annidarono.The Philisthijms also were spred abroad by the cities of the champayne, and toward the South of Iuda: and they tooke Bethsames, & Aialon, and Gaderoth, Socho also, & Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and dwelt in them.Philisthiim quoque diffusi sunt per urbes campestres, et ad meridiem Juda: ceperuntque Bethsames, et Ajalon, et Gaderoth, Socho quoque, et Thamnan, et Gamzo, cum viculis suis, et habitaverunt in eis. 19For the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.Perocché il Signore aveva umiliato Giuda a causa di Achaz re di Giuda, il quale lo avea spogliato di ogni soccorso, avendo disprezzato il Signore.For our Lord had humbled Iuda because of Achaz the king of Iuda, for that he had made it naked of helpe, and had contemned our Lord.Humiliaverat enim Dominus Judam propter Achaz regem Juda, eo quod nudasset eum auxilio, et contemptui habuisset Dominum. 20And he brought against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance.Il quale fece muovere contro dì lui Thelgathphalnasar re degli Assiri; e questi lo ridusse alle strette, e senza trovar resistenza devastò il paese.And he brought agaynst him Theglathphalnasar the king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and spoyled him no man resisting.Adduxitque contra eum Thelgathphalnasar regem Assyriorum, qui et afflixit eum, et nullo resistente vastavit. 21And Achaz stripped the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings, and of the princes, and gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it availed him nothing.Achaz pertanto, spogliata la casa del Signore, e la casa reale, e quelle de' principi, diede doni al re degli Assiri, ma inutilmente.Therfore Achaz spoyling the house of our Lord, and the house of the kinges, and of the princes gaue giftes to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it did nothing profite him.Igitur Achaz, spoliata domo Domini, et domo regum ac principum, dedit regi Assyriorum munera, et tamen nihil ei profuit.

22Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,E di più nel tempo di sue angustie disprezzò sempre più il Signore.Moreouer also in the time of his distresse he increased contempte agaynst our Lord, king Achaz himself by himself,Insuper et tempore angustiæ suæ auxit contemptum in Dominum, ipse per se rex Achaz, 23Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.Egli stesso il re Achaz immolò di sua mano vittime agli dei di Damasco, che gli davano addosso, e disse: Gli dei de' re di Siria danno aiuto a questi, e io li placherò colle vittime, e aiuteranno me: quando pel contrario furon la rovina di lui, e di tutto Israele.immolated victimes to the goddes of Damascus that stroke him, and sayd: The goddes of the kinges of Syria doe helpe them, whom I wil pacifie with hostes, and they wil ayde me, wheras on the contrarie part they were his ruine, and al Israels.immolavit diis Damasci victimas percussoribus suis, et dixit: Dii regum Syriæ auxiliantur eis, quos ego placabo hostiis, et aderunt mihi: cum e contrario ipsi fuerint ruinæ ei, et universo Israël. 24Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.Achaz pertanto, portati via, e fatti in pezzi tutti i vasi della casa di Dio, chiuse le porte del tempio, ed eresse i suoi altari a tutte le cantonate di Gerusalemme.Achaz therfore hauing spoyled al the vessels of the house of God, and broken them shut the gates of the temple of God, and made him altars in al the corners of Ierusalem.Direptis itaque Achaz omnibus vasis domus Dei, atque confractis, clausit januas templi Dei, et fecit sibi altaria in universis angulis Jerusalem. 25And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath.E anche in tutte le città di Giuda eresse altari per abbruciarvi incenso; e provocò ad ira il Signore Dio de' padri suoi.In al the cities also of Iuda he built altars to burne frankincense, and he prouoked to wrath our Lord the God of his fathers.In omnibus quoque urbibus Juda exstruxit aras ad cremandum thus, atque ad iracundiam provocavit Dominum Deum patrum suorum.

26But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.Il rimanente poi delle sue azioni, e delle opere sue, le prime, e le ultime stanno scritte nel libro dei re di Giuda, e d'Israele.But the rest of his wordes, al his workes the first and the last are writen in the Booke of the kinges of Iuda and Israel.Reliqua autem sermonum ejus, et omnium operum suorum priorum et novissimorum, scripta sunt in libro regum Juda et Israël. 27And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.E Achaz si addormentò co' padri suoi, e fu sepolto nella città di Gerusalemme: perocché non vollero metterlo nei sepolcri dei re d'Israele. E gli succedette nel regno Ezechia suo figliuolo.And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the Citie of Ierusalem: for they receiued him not into the sepulchres of the kinges of Israel. And Ezechias his sonne reigned for him.Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate Jerusalem: neque enim receperunt eum in sepulchra regum Israël. Regnavitque Ezechias filius ejus pro eo.
