| 1 | And Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his host, and there were two and thirty kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and going up, he fought against Samaria, and besieged it. | Porro Benadad rex Syriae congregavit omnem exercitum suum, et triginta duos reges secum, et equos, et currus: et ascendens pugnabat contra Samariam, et obsidebat eam. | Καὶ ἀμπελὼν εἷς ἦν τῷ Ναβουθαὶ τῷ Ἰεζραηλίτῃ παρὰ τῇ ἅλῳ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Σαμαρείας. |
| 2 | And, sending messengers to Achab king of Israel into the city, | Mittensque nuntios ad Achab regem Israël in civitatem, | Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἀχαὰβ πρὸς Ναβουθαὶ, λέγων, δός μοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου, καὶ ἔσται μοι εἰς κῆπον λαχάνων, ὅτι ἐγγίζων οὗτος τῷ οἴκῳ μου, καὶ δώσω σοι ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλον ἀγαθὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτόν· εἰ δὲ ἀρέσκει ἐνώπιόν σου, δώσω σοι ἀργύριον ἄλλαγμα ἀμπελῶνός σου τούτου, καὶ ἔσται μοι εἰς κῆπον λαχάνων. |
| 3 | He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver, and thy gold is mine: and thy wives, and thy goodliest children are mine. | ait: Haec dicit Benadad: Argentum tuum, et aurum tuum meum est: et uxores tuae, et filii tui optimi, mei sunt. | Καὶ εἶπε Ναβουθαὶ πρὸς Ἀχαάβ, μὴ γένοιτό μοι παρὰ Θεοῦ μου δοῦναι κληρονομίαν πατέρων μου σοί. |
| 4 | And the king of Israel answered: According to thy word, my lord O king, I am thine, and all that I have. | Responditque rex Israël: Iuxta verbum tuum, domine mi rex, tuus sum ego, et omnia mea. | Καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ πνεῦμα Ἀχαὰβ τεταραγμένον, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῆς κλίυης αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνεκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ἄρτον. |
| 5 | And the messengers came again, and said: Thus saith Benadad, who sent us unto thee: Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children thou shalt deliver up to me. | Revertentesque nuntii, dixerunt: Haec dicit Benadad, qui misit nos ad te: Argentum tuum, et aurum tuum, et uxores tuas, et filios tuos, dabis mihi. | Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰεζάβελ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτὸν, τί τὸ πνεῦμά σου τεταραγμένον, καὶ οὐκ εἶ σὺ ἐσθίων ἄρτον; |
| 6 | Tomorrow therefore at this same hour I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall put in their hands, and take away. | Cras igitur hac eadem hora mittam servos meos ad te, et scrutabuntur domum tuam, et domum servorum tuorum: et omne quod eis placuerit, ponent in manibus suis, et auferent. | Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν, ὅτι ἐλάλησα πρὸς Ναβουθαὶ τὸν Ἰεζραηλίτην, λέγων, δός μοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου ἀργυρίου· εἰ δὲ βούλῃ, δώσω σοι ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλον ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν οὐ δώσω σοι κληρονομίαν πατέρων μου. |
| 7 | And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay. | Vocavit autem rex Israël omnes seniores terrae, et ait: Animadvertite, et videte quoniam insidietur nobis: misit enim ad me pro uxoribus meis, et filiis, et pro argento et auro: et non abnui. | Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἰεζάβελ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, σὺ νῦν οὕτω ποιεῖς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ; ἀνάστηθι καὶ φάγε ἄρτον καὶ σαυτοῦ γενοῦ, ἐγὼ δὲ δώσω σοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου. |
| 8 | And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him. | Dixeruntque omnes maiores natu, et universus populus, ad eum: Non audias, neque acquiescas illi. | Καὶ ἔγραψε βιβλίον ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ἀχαὰβ, καὶ ἐσφραγίσατο τῇ σφραγίδι αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ τοὺς ἐλευθέρους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας μετὰ Ναβουθαί. |
| 9 | Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to me thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do. | Respondit itaque nuntiis Benadad: Dicite domino meo regi: Omnia propter quae misisti ad me servum tuum in initio, faciam: hanc autem rem facere non possum. | Καὶ ἐγέγραπτο ἐν τοῖς βιβλίοις, λέγων, νηστεύσατε νηστείαν, καὶ καθίσατε τὸν Ναβουθαὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ λαοῦ· |
| 10 | And the messengers returning brought him word. And he sent again and said: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and more may they add, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me. | Reversique nuntii retulerunt ei. Qui remisit, et ait: Haec faciant mihi dii, et haec addant, si suffecerit pulvis Samariae pugillis omnis populi qui sequitur me. | Καὶ ἐγκαθίσατε δύο ἄνδρας υἱοὺς παρανόμων ἐξεναντίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταμαρτυρησάτωσαν αὐτοῦ, λέγοντες, εὐλόγησε Θεὸν καὶ βασιλέα· καὶ ἐξαγαγέτωσαν αὐτὸν, καὶ λιθοβολησάτωσαν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀποθανέτω. |
| 11 | And the king of Israel answering, said: Tell him: Let not the girded boast himself as the ungirded. | Et respondens rex Israël, ait: Dicite ei: Ne glorietur, accinctus aeque ut discinctus. | Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως αὐτοῦ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ οἱ ἐλεύθεροι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῇ πόλει αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰεζάβελ, καὶ καθὰ ἐγέγραπτο ἐν τοῖς βιβλίοις οἷς ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτούς. |
| 12 | And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it. | Factum est autem cum audisset Benadad verbum istud, bibebat ipse et reges in umbraculis: et ait servis suis: Circumdate civitatem. Et circumdederunt eam. | Καὶ ἐκάλεσαν νηστείαν, καὶ ἐκάθισαν τὸν Ναβουθαὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ λαοῦ. |
| 13 | And behold a prophet coming to Achab king of Israel, said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Hast thou seen all this exceeding great multitude, behold I will deliver them into thy hand this day: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord. | Et ecce propheta unus accedens ad Achab regem Israël, ait ei: Haec dicit Dominus: Certe vidisti omnem multitudinem hanc nimiam? ecce ego tradam eam in manu tua hodie, ut scias quia ego sum Dominus. | Καὶ εἰσῆλθον δύο ἄνδρες υἱοὶ παρανόμων, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐξεναντίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατεμαρτύρησαν αὐτοῦ, λέγοντες, εὐλόγηκας Θεὸν καὶ βασιλέα· καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν ἐν λίθοις, καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 14 | And Achab said: By whom? And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. And he said: Who shall begin to fight? And he said: Thou. | Et ait Achab: Per quem? Dixitque ei: Haec dicit Dominus: Per pedissequos principum provinciarum. Et ait: Quis incipiet praeliari? Et ille dixit: Tu. | Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς Ἰεζάβελ, λέγοντες, λελιθοβόληται Ναβουθαὶ, καὶ τέθνηκε. |
| 15 | So he mustered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and he found the number of two hundred and thirty-two: and he mustered after them the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand: | Recensuit ergo pueros principum provinciarum, et reperit numerum ducentorum triginta duorum: et recensuit post eos populum, omnes filios Israël, septem millia. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἰεζάβελ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ἀχαὰβ, ἀνάστα, κληρονόμει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου, ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκέ σοι ἀργυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Ναβουθαὶ ζῶν, ὅτι τέθνηκε. |
| 16 | And they went out at noon. But Benadad was drinking himself drunk in his pavilion, and the two and thirty kings with him, who were come to help him. | Et egressi sunt meridie. Benadad autem bibebat temulentus in umbraculo suo, et reges triginta duo cum eo, qui ad auxilium eius venerant. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἀχαὰβ ὅτι τέθνηκε Ναβουθαὶ ὁ Ἰεζραηλίτης, καὶ διέῤῥηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον· καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ κατέβη Ἀχαὰβ εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν. |
| 17 | And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first. And Benadad sent. And they told him, saying: There are men come out of Samaria. | Egressi sunt autem pueri principum provinciarum in prima fronte. Misit itaque Benadad: qui nuntiaverunt ei, dicentes: Viri egressi sunt de Samaria. | Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Ἠλιοὺ τὸν Θεσβίτην, λέγων, |
| 18 | And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive. | Et ille ait: Sive pro pace veniunt, apprehendite eos vivos: sive ut praelientur, vivos eos capite. | ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς ἀπαντὴν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, ὅτι οὗτος ἐν ἀμπελῶνι Ναβουθαὶ, ὅτι καταβέβηκεν ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν. |
| 19 | So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed: | Egressi sunt ergo pueri principum provinciarum, ac reliquus exercitus sequebatur: | Καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτὸν, λέγων, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ὡς σὺ ἐφόνευσας καὶ ἐκληρονόμησας, διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ᾧ ἔλειξαν αἱ ὗες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα Ναβουθαὶ, ἐκεῖ λείξουσιν οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμά σου, καὶ αἱ πόρναι λούσονται ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου. |
| 20 | And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad king of Syria fled away on horseback with his horsemen. | et percussit unusquisque virum qui contra se veniebat: fugeruntque Syri, et persecutus est eos Israël. Fugit quoque Benadad rex Syriae in equo cum equitibus suis. | Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχαὰβ πρὸς Ἠλιοὺ, εἰ εὕρηκάς με ὁ ἐχθρός μου; καὶ εἶπεν, εὕρηκα· διότι μάτην πέπρασαι ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, παροργίσαι αὐτόν. |
| 21 | But the king of Israel going out overthrew the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter. | Necnon egressus rex Israël percussit equos et currus, et percussit Syriam plaga magna. | Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ κακά· καὶ ἐκκαύσω ὀπίσω σου, καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον, καὶ συνεχόμενον καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένον ἐν Ἰσραήλ. |
| 22 | (And a prophet coming to the king of Israel, said to him: Go, and strengthen thyself, and know, and see what thou dost: for the next year the king of Syria will come up against thee.) | Accedens autem propheta ad regem Israël, dixit ei: Vade, et confortare, et scito, et vide quid facias: sequenti enim anno rex Syriae ascendet contra te. | Καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ, καὶ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ υἱοῦ Ἀχιὰ, περὶ τῶν παροργισμάτων ὧν παρώργισας καὶ ἐξήμαρτες τὸν Ἰσραὴλ. |
| 23 | But the servants of the king of Syria said to him: Their gods are gods of the hills, therefore they have overcome us: but it is better that we should fight against them in the plains, and we shall overcome them. | Servi vero regis Syriae dixerunt ei: Dii montium sunt dii eorum, ideo superaverunt nos: sed melius est ut pugnemus contra eos in campestribus, et obtinebimus eos. | Καὶ τῇ Ἰεζάβελ ἐλάλησε Κύριος, λέγων, οἱ κύνες καταφάγονται αὐτὴν ἐν τῷ προτειχίσματι τοῦ Ἰεζράελ· |
| 24 | Do thou therefore this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead: | Tu ergo verbum hoc fac: amove reges singulos ab exercitu tuo, et pone principes pro eis: | Τὸν τεθνηκότα τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ ἐν τῇ πόλει φάγονται οἱ κύνες, καὶ τὸν τεθνηκότα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ φάγονται τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. |
| 25 | And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses according to the former horses, and chariots according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel and did so. | et instaura numerum militum qui ceciderunt de tuis, et equos secundum equos pristinos, et currus secundum currus quos ante habuisti: et pugnabimus contra eos in campestribus, et videbis quod obtinebimus eos. Credidit consilio eorum, et fecit ita. | Πλὴν ματαίως Ἀχαὰβ, ὃς ἐπράθη ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὡς μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν Ἰεζάβελ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ. |
| 26 | Wherefore at the return of the year, Benadad mustered the Syrians, ancient up to Aphec, to fight against Israel. | Igitur postquam annus transierat, recensuit Benadad Syros, et ascendit in Aphec ut pugnaret contra Israël. | Καὶ ἐβδελύχθη σφόδρα πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω τῶν βδελυγμάτων, κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἀμοῤῥαῖος, ὃν ἐξωλόθρευσε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ. |
| 27 | And the children of Israel were mustered, and taking victuals went out on the other side, and camped over against them, like two little hocks of goats: but the Syrians filled the land. | Porro filii Israël recensiti sunt, et acceptis cibariis profecti ex adverso, castraque metati sunt contra eos, quasi duo parvi greges caprarum: Syri autem repleverunt terram. | Καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου ὡς κατενύγη Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπορεύετο κλαίων, καὶ διέῤῥηξε τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐζώσατο σάκκον ἐπὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνήστευσε· καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐπάταξε Ναβουθαὶ τὸν Ἰεζραηλίτην, καὶ ἐπορεύθη. |
| 28 | (And a man of God coming, said to the king of Israel: Thus saith the Lord: Because the Syrians have said: The Lord is God of the hills, but is not God of the valleys: I will deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.) | (Et accedens unus vir Dei, dixit ad regem Israël: Haec dicit Dominus: Quia dixerunt Syri: Deus montium est Dominus, et non est Deus vallium: dabo omnem multitudinem hanc grandem in manu tua, et scietis quia ego sum Dominus.) | Καὶ ἐγένετο ῥῆμα Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἠλιοὺ περὶ Ἀχαὰβ, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος, |
| 29 | And both sides set their armies in array one against the other seven days, and on the seventh day the battle was fought: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day. | Dirigebantque septem diebus ex adverso hi atque illi acies, septima autem die commissum est bellum: percusseruntque filii Israël de Syris centum millia peditum in die una. | ἑώρακας ὡς κατενύγη Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου; οὐκ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ, ἀλλʼ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν. |
| 30 | And they that remained fled to Aphec, into the city: and the wall fell upon seven and twenty thousand men, that were left. And Benadad fleeing went into the city, into a chamber that was within a chamber. | Fugerunt autem qui remanserant in Aphec, in civitatem: et cecidit murus super viginti septem millia hominum qui remanserant. Porro Benadad fugiens ingressus est civitatem, in cubiculum quod erat intra cubiculum. | — |
| 31 | And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful: so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives. | Dixeruntque ei servi sui: Ecce, audivimus quod reges domus Israël clementes sint: ponamus itaque saccos in lumbis nostris, et funiculos in capitibus nostris, et egrediamur ad regem Israël: forsitan salvabit animas nostras. | — |
| 32 | So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said to him: Thy servant Benadad saith: I beseech thee let me have my life. And he said: If he be yet alive he is my brother. | Accinxerunt saccis lumbos suos, et posuerunt funiculos in capitibus suis, veneruntque ad regem Israël, et dixerunt ei: Servus tuus Benadad dicit: Vivat, oro te, anima mea. Et ille ait: Si adhuc vivit, frater meus est. | — |
| 33 | The men took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into his chariot. | Quod acceperunt viri pro omine: et festinantes rapuerunt verbum ex ore eius, atque dixerunt: Frater tuus Benadad. Et dixit eis: Ite, et adducite eum ad me. Egressus est ergo ad eum Benadad, et levavit eum in currum suum. | — |
| 34 | And he said to him: The cities which my father took from thy father, I will restore: and do thou make thee streets in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria, and having made a league I will depart from thee. So he made a league with him, and let him go. | Qui dixit ei: Civitates quas tulit pater meus a patre tuo, reddam: et plateas fac tibi in Damasco, sicut fecit pater meus in Samaria, et ego foederatus recedam a te. Pepigit ergo foedus, et dimisit eum. | — |
| 35 | Then a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his companion in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not strike. | Tunc vir quidam de filiis prophetarum dixit ad socium suum in sermone Domini: Percute me. At ille noluit percutere. | — |
| 36 | Then he said to him: Because thou wouldst not hearken to the word of the Lord, behold then shalt depart from me, and a lion shall slay thee. And when he was gone a little from him, a lion found him, and slew him. | Cui ait: Quia noluisti audire vocem Domini, ecce recedes a me, et percutiet te leo. Cumque paululum recessisset ab eo, invenit eum leo, atque percussit. | — |
| 37 | Then he found another man, and said to him: Strike me. And he struck him, and wounded him. | Sed alterum inveniens virum, dixit ad eum: Percute me. Qui percussit eum, et vulneravit. | — |
| 38 | So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes. | Abiit ergo propheta, et occurrit regi in via, et mutavit aspersione pulveris os et oculos suos. | — |
| 39 | And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver. | Cumque rex transisset, clamavit ad regem, et ait: Servus tuus egressus est ad praeliandum cominus: cumque fugisset vir unus, adduxit eum quidam ad me, et ait: Custodi virum istum: qui si lapsus fuerit, erit anima tua pro anima eius, aut talentum argenti appendes. | — |
| 40 | And whilst I in a hurry turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed. | Dum autem ego turbatus huc illucque me verterem, subito non comparuit. Et ait rex Israël ad eum: Hoc est iudicium tuum, quod ipse decrevisti. | — |
| 41 | But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets. | At ille statim abstersit pulverem de facie sua, et cognovit eum rex Israël, quod esset de prophetis. | — |
| 42 | And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a mall worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people. | Qui ait ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Quia dimisisti virum dignum morte de manu tua, erit anima tua pro anima eius, et populus tuus pro populo eius. | — |
| 43 | And the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria. | Reversus est igitur rex Israël in domum suam, audire contemnens, et furibundus venit in Samariam. | — |
