12 — 2 Paralipomeni

1And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.Ma quando Roboamo fu bene stabilito, e fortificato nel regno, egli, e tutto Israele dietro a lui abbandonò la legge del Signore.AND when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsooke the law of our Lord, and al Israel with him.Cumque roboratum fuisset regnum Roboam et confortatum, dereliquit legem Domini, et omnis Israël cum eo. 2And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)E l'anno quinto del regno di Roboamo, Sesac re dell'Egitto si mosse contro Gerusalemme (perchè quegli avean peccato contro il Signore)And in the fifth yeare of the kingdom of Roboam, came vp Sesac the king of Aegypt into Ierusalem (because they had sinned to our Lord)Anno autem quinto regni Roboam, ascendit Sesac rex Ægypti in Jerusalem (quia peccaverant Domino) 3With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.Con mille dugento cocchi, e sessanta mila cavalieri: ed era senza numero l'altra turba venuta con lui dall'Egitto, e gente della Libia, e Trogloditi, ed Etiopi.with a thousand two hundred chariotes, and threescore thousand horsemen: neither was anie number of the common people, that came with him out of Aegypt, to witte, Lybians, and Troglodytes, and Aethiopians.cum mille ducentis curribus, et sexaginta millibus equitum: nec erat numerus vulgi quod venerat cum eo ex Ægypto, Libyes scilicet, et Troglodytæ, et Æthiopes. 4And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.Ed espugnò le città più forti di Giuda, e arrivò sino a Gerusalemme.And he tooke the most fensed cities in Iuda, and came ouer vnto Ierusalem.Cepitque civitates munitissimas in Juda, et venit usque in Jerusalem. 5And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.Or Seraeia profeta si presentò al re Roboamo, e ai principi di Giuda raunati in Gerusalemme per timore di Sesac, e disse loro: Queste cose dice il Signore: Voi avete abbandonato me, e io no abbandonato voi in potere di Sesac.And Semeias the prophete went to Roboam, and to the princes of Iuda, that were gathered togetherin Ierusalem, fleing from Sasac, and he sayd to them: Thus sayth our Lord: You haue leaft me, and I haue leaft you in the hand of Sesac.Semeias autem propheta ingressus est ad Roboam, et principes Juda qui congregati fuerant in Jerusalem, fugientes Sesac: dixitque ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus: Vos reliquistis me, et ego reliqui vos in manu Sesac.

6And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.E sbigottiti i principi d'Israele, e il re, dissero: Giusto è il Signore.And the princes of Israel, and the king, being astonied, sayd: Our Lord is iust.Consternatique principes Israël et rex, dixerunt: Justus est Dominus. 7And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.Ma il Signore veggendo come erano umiliati, parlò a Semeia, e disse: Perchè ei si sono umiliati, io non gli spergerò, e darò loro un pocolino di aiuto, e il mio furore non gronderà sopra Gerusalemme per mano di Sesac.And when our Lord had seene that they were humbled, the word of our Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I wil not destroy them, and I wil geue them a litle ayde, and my furie shal not droppe vpon Ierusalem by the hand of Sesac.Cumque vidisset Dominus quod humiliati essent, factus est sermo Domini ad Semeiam, dicens: Quia humiliati sunt, non disperdam eos, daboque eis pauxillum auxilii, et non stillabit furor meus super Jerusalem per manum Sesac. 8But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.Ma saranno soggetti a lui, affinchè conoscano la differenza tral servire a me, e 'l servire ai re della terra.But yet they shal serue him, that they may know the distance of my seruice, and of the seruice of the kingdom of the earth.Verumtamen servient ei, ut sciant distantiam servitutis meæ, et servitutis regni terrarum. 9So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,Così Sesac re dell'Egitto si ritirò da Gerusalemme, portando via i tesori della casa del Signore, e della casa reale, e gli scudi d'oro fatti da Salomone,Therfore Sesac the king of Aepypt retyred from Ierusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of our Lord, and of the kinges house, and he tooke al thinges with him, and the golden shieldes that Salomon had made,Recessit itaque Sesac rex Ægypti ab Jerusalem, sublatis thesauris domus Domini et domus regis: omniaque secum tulit, et clypeos aureos quos fecerat Salomon: 10Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.Invece de' quali il re ne fece fare altri di bronzo, dandogli ai capitani delle guardie, che custodivano l'atrio del palazzo.for the which the king made brasen ones, and deliuered them to the princes of the shieldbearers, which kept the entrance of the palace.pro quibus fecit rex æneos, et tradidit illos principibus scutariorum, qui custodiebant vestibulum palatii.

11And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.E quando il re entrava nella casa del Signore, quei che portavan gli scudi, andavano a prendergli, e poi li riportavano all'arsenale.And when the king entred into the house of our Lord, the shieldbearers came, and tooke them, & brought them backe agayne to their armorie.Cumque introiret rex domum Domini, veniebant scutarii et tollebant eos, iterumque referebant eos ad armamentarium suum. 12But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.Ma perchè ei si umiliarono, si calmò verso di loro l'ira del Signore, e non furono sterminati affatto, perchè anche in Giuda si trovarono delle buone opere.But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of our Lord was turned away from them, neither were they vtterly destroyed: for in Iuda there were found good workes.Verumtamen quia humiliati sunt, aversa est ab eis ira Domini, nec deleti sunt penitus: siquidem et in Juda inventa sunt opera bona. 13King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.Roboamo adunque riprese vigore, e regnò in Gerusalemme: or egli avea quarant'un anno quando principiò a regnare, e diciassette anni regnò in Gerusalemme città eletta dal Signore tra tutte le tribù d'Israele per istabilirvi il culto del nome suo. Sua madre si chiamò Naama, ed era Ammonita.King Roboam therfore was strengthened in Ierusalem, & reigned: one and fourtie yeares old was he when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned seuentene yeares in Ierusalem, the citie, which our Lord chose, to confirme his name there, out of al the tribes of Israel: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonite.Confortatus est ergo rex Roboam in Jerusalem, atque regnavit: quadraginta autem et unius anni erat cum regnare cœpisset, et decem et septem annis regnavit in Jerusalem, urbe quam elegit Dominus ut confirmaret nomen suum ibi, de cunctis tribubus Israël: nomen autem matris ejus Naama Ammanitis. 14But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.Egli però fece il male, e non rivolse il cuor suo a cercare il Signore.And he did euil, and prepared not his hart to seke our Lord.Fecit autem malum, et non præparavit cor suum ut quæreret Dominum.

15Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.Ma le geste di Roboam, le prime, e le ultime sono scritte nel libro di Semeia profeta, e di Addo Profeta, ed esposte con esattezza. E Roboamo, e Geroboam ebbero tra loro continua guerra.But the workes of Roboam the first and the last are writen in the Bookes of Semeias the Prophete, and of Addo the Seer, and diligently expounded: and Roboam and Ietoboam fought one agaynst the other al their daies.Opera vero Roboam prima et novissima scripta sunt in libris Semeiæ prophetæ, et Addo videntis, et diligenter exposita: pugnaveruntque adversum se Roboam et Jeroboam cunctis diebus. 16And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.E Roboamo si addormentò co' padri suoi, e fu sepolto nella città di David. E gli succedette nel regno Abia suo figliuolo.And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid. And Abias his sonne reigned for him.Et dormivit Roboam cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in civitate David: et regnavit Abia filius ejus pro eo.
