17. Et ait rex Israel ad Iosaphat: “Nonne dixi tibi quod non prophetaret iste mihi quidquam boni sed ea, quae mala sunt?”.

17. And the king of Israel said to Jehosh'aphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"

21. At ille respondit: “Egrediar et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum eius”. Dixitque Dominus: “Decipies et praevalebis; egredere et fac ita”.

21. And he said, `I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, `You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go forth and do so.'

22. Nunc igitur, ecce dedit Dominus spiritum mendacii in ore omnium prophetarum tuorum et Dominus locutus est de te mala”.

22. Now therefore behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; the LORD has spoken evil concerning you."

23. Accessit autem Sedecias filius Chanaana et percussit Michaeae maxillam et ait: “Per quam viam transivit spiritus Domini a me, ut loqueretur tibi?”.

23. Then Zedeki'ah the son of Chena'anah came near and struck Micai'ah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you?"

24. Dixitque Michaeas: “Tu ipse videbis in die illo, quando ingressus fueris cubiculum intra cubiculum, ut abscondaris”.

24. And Micai'ah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself."

25. Praecepit autem rex Israel dicens: “Tollite Michaeam et ducite eum ad Amon principem civitatis et ad Ioas filium regis

25. And the king of Israel said, "Seize Micai'ah, and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Jo'ash the king's son;

26. et dicetis: “Haec dicit rex: Mittite hunc in carcerem et date ei panis modicum et aquae pauxillum, donec revertar in pace””.

26. and say, `Thus says the king, Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with scant fare of bread and water, until I return in peace.'"

27. Dixitque Michaeas: “Si reversus fueris in pace, non est locutus Dominus in me”. Et ait: “Audite, populi omnes!”.

27. And Micai'ah said, "If you return in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, "Hear, all you peoples!"

28. Igitur ascenderunt rex Israel et Iosaphat rex Iudae in Ramoth Galaad.

28. So the king of Israel and Jehosh'aphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.

29. Dixitque rex Israel ad Iosaphat: “Mutabo habitum et sic ad pugnam vadam; tu autem induere vestibus tuis”. Mutatoque rex Israel habitu venit ad bellum.

29. And the king of Israel said to Jehosh'aphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your robes." And the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into battle.

30. Rex autem Syriae praeceperat ducibus curruum suorum dicens: “Ne pugnetis contra minimum aut contra maximum, nisi contra solum regem Israel”.

30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, "Fight with neither small nor great, but only with the king of Israel."

31. Itaque, cum vidissent principes curruum Iosaphat, dixerunt: “Rex Israel est iste!”. Et circumdederunt eum dimicantes. At ille clamavit ad Dominum, et auxiliatus est ei atque avertit eos Deus ab illo.

31. And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehosh'aphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel." So they turned to fight against him; and Jehosh'aphat cried out, and the LORD helped him. God drew them away from him,

32. Cum enim vidissent duces curruum quod non esset rex Israel, reliquerunt eum.

32. for when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

33. Accidit autem, ut unus e populo sagittam in incertum iaceret et percuteret regem Israel inter iuncturas et loricam. At ille aurigae suo ait: “Converte manum tuam et educ me de acie, quia vulneratus sum”.

33. But a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate; therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn about, and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded."

34. Et aggravata est pugna in die illo; porro rex Israel stabat in curru suo contra Syros usque ad vesperam et mortuus est occidente sole.

34. And the battle grew hot that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Syrians until evening; then at sunset he died.
