Translation of the Latin Vulgate |
| 25:1 viginti quinque annorum erat Amasias cum regnare coepisset et viginti novem annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Ioaden de Hierusalem | 25:1. Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem. |
| 25:2 fecitque bonum in conspectu Domini verumtamen non in corde perfecto | 25:2. And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart. |
| 25:3 cumque roboratum sibi videret imperium iugulavit servos qui occiderant regem patrem suum | 25:3. And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father. |
| 25:4 sed filios eorum non interfecit sicut scriptum est in libro legis Mosi ubi praecepit Dominus dicens non occidentur patres pro filiis neque filii pro patribus suis sed unusquisque in suo peccato morietur | 25:4. But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. |
| 25:5 congregavit igitur Amasias Iudam et constituit eos per familias tribunosque et centuriones in universo Iuda et Beniamin et recensuit a viginti annis sursum invenitque triginta milia iuvenum qui egrederentur ad pugnam et tenerent hastam et clypeum | 25:5. Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield. |
| 25:6 mercede quoque conduxit de Israhel centum milia robustorum centum talentis argenti | 25:6. He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver. |
| 25:7 venit autem homo Dei ad illum et ait o rex ne egrediatur tecum exercitus Israhel non est enim Dominus cum Israhel et cunctis filiis Ephraim | 25:7. But a man of God came to him, and said: O king, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim: |
| 25:8 quod si putas in robore exercitus bella consistere superari te faciet Deus ab hostibus Dei quippe est et adiuvare et in fugam vertere | 25:8. And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight. |
| 25:9 dixitque Amasias ad hominem Dei quid ergo fiet de centum talentis quae dedi militibus Israhel et respondit ei homo Dei habet Dominus unde tibi dare possit multo his plura | 25:9. And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israel? and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this. |
| 25:10 separavit itaque Amasias exercitum qui venerat ad eum ex Ephraim ut reverteretur in locum suum at illi contra Iudam vehementer irati reversi sunt in regionem suam | 25:10. Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country. |
| 25:11 porro Amasias confidenter eduxit populum suum et abiit in vallem Salinarum percussitque filios Seir decem milia | 25:11. And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand. |
| 25:12 et alia decem milia virorum ceperunt filii Iuda et adduxerunt ad praeruptum cuiusdam petrae praecipitaveruntque eos de summo in praeceps qui universi crepuerunt | 25:12. And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken to pieces. |
| 25:13 at ille exercitus quem remiserat Amasias ne secum iret ad proelium diffusus est in civitatibus Iuda a Samaria usque Bethoron et interfectis tribus milibus diripuit praedam magnam | 25:13. But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil. |
| 25:14 Amasias vero post caedem Idumeorum et adlatos deos filiorum Seir statuit illos in deos sibi et adorabat eos et illis adolebat incensum | 25:14. But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them. |
| 25:15 quam ob rem iratus Dominus contra Amasiam misit ad illum prophetam qui diceret ei cur adorasti deos qui non liberaverunt populum suum de manu tua | 25:15. Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand? |
| 25:16 cumque haec ille loqueretur respondit ei num consiliarius regis es quiesce ne interficiam te discedensque propheta scio inquit quod cogitaverit Dominus occidere te qui et fecisti hoc malum et insuper non adquievisti consilio meo | 25:16. And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king's counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel. |
| 25:17 igitur Amasias rex Iuda inito pessimo consilio misit ad Ioas filium Ioachaz filii Hieu regem Israhel dicens veni videamus nos mutuo | 25:17. Then Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another. |
| 25:18 at ille remisit nuntium dicens carduus qui est in Libano misit ad cedrum Libani dicens da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem et ecce bestiae quae erant in silva Libani transierunt et conculcaverunt carduum | 25:18. But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle. |
| 25:19 dixisti percussi Edom et idcirco erigitur cor tuum in superbiam sede in domo tua cur malum adversum te provocas ut cadas et tu et Iudas tecum | 25:19. Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee. |
| 25:20 noluit audire Amasias eo quod Domini esset voluntas ut traderetur in manibus hostium propter deos Edom | 25:20. Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord's will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom. |
| 25:21 ascendit igitur Ioas rex Israhel et mutuos sibi praebuere conspectus Amasias autem rex Iuda erat in Bethsames Iudae | 25:21. So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda: |
| 25:22 corruitque Iudas coram Israhel et fugit in tabernacula sua | 25:22. And Juda fell before Israel, and they fled to their dwellings. |
| 25:23 porro Amasiam regem Iuda filium Ioas filii Ioachaz cepit Ioas rex Israhel in Bethsames et adduxit in Hierusalem destruxitque murum eius a porta Ephraim usque ad portam Anguli quadringentis cubitis | 25:23. And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son of Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits. |
| 25:24 omne quoque aurum et argentum et universa vasa quae reppererat in domo Dei et apud Obededom in thesauris etiam domus regiae necnon et filios obsidum reduxit Samariam | 25:24. And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king's house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria. |
| 25:25 vixit autem Amasias filius Ioas rex Iuda postquam mortuus est Ioas filius Ioachaz rex Israhel quindecim annis | 25:25. And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years. |
| 25:26 reliqua vero sermonum Amasiae priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in libro regum Iuda et Israhel | 25:26. Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. |
| 25:27 qui postquam recessit a Domino tetenderunt ei insidias in Hierusalem cumque fugisset Lachis miserunt et interfecerunt eum ibi | 25:27. And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and killed him there. |
| 25:28 reportantesque super equos sepelierunt eum cum patribus suis in civitate David | 25:28. And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David. |
