1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the LORD God, as well as the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
Dixitque David: Hæc est domus Dei, et hoc altare in holocaustum Israeli.
2 So David gave orders to gather the foreigners in the land of Israel, from whom he appointed stonecutters to prepare finished stones for building the house of God.
Et præcepit ut congregarentur omnes proselyti de Terra Israel, et constituit ex eis latomos ad cædendos lapides et poliendos, ut ædificaretur domus Dei.
3 David provided a large quantity of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, together with more bronze than could be weighed
Ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos ianuarum, et ad commissuras atque iuncturas præparavit David: et æris pondus innumerabile.
4 and more cedar logs than could be counted; for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs to David.
Ligna quoque cedrina non poterant æstimari, quæ Sidonii, et Tyrii deportaverant ad David.
5 And David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent—famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore I must make preparations for it.” So David made lavish preparations before his death.
Et dixit David: Solomon filius meus puer parvulus est et delicatus; domus autem, quam ædificari volo Domino, talis esse debet ut in cunctis regionibus nominetur: præparabo ergo ei necessaria. Et ob hanc causam ante mortem suam omnes præparavit impensas.
6 Then David called for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
Vocavitque Salomonem filium suum: et præcepit ei ut ædificaret domum Domino Deo Israel.
7 “My son,” said David to Solomon, “it was in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God,
Dixitque David ad Salomonem: Fili mi, voluntatis meæ fuit ut ædificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei:
8 but this word of the LORD came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for My Name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before Me.
Sed factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: Multum sanguinem effudisti, et plurima bella bellasti: non poteris ædificare domum nomini meo, tanto effuso sanguine coram me:
9 But a son will be born to you who will be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for his name will be Solomon, and I will grant to Israel peace and quiet during his reign.
filius, qui nascetur tibi, erit vir quietissimus: faciam enim eum requiescere ab omnibus inimicis suis per circuitum: et ob hanc causam Pacificus vocabitur: et pacem et otium dabo in Israel cunctis diebus eius.
10 He is the one who will build a house for My Name. He will be My son, and I will be his Father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
Ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo, et ipse erit mihi in filium, et ego ero illi in patrem: firmaboque solium regni eius super Israel in æternum.
11 Now, my son, may the LORD be with you, and may you succeed in building the house of the LORD your God, as He said you would.
Nunc ergo fili mi, sit Dominus tecum, et prosperare, et ædifica domum Domino Deo tuo, sicut locutus est de te.
12 Above all, may the LORD give you insight and understanding when He puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the Law of the LORD your God.
Det quoque Dominus prudentiam et sensum, ut regere possis Israel, et custodire legem Domini Dei tui.
13 Then you will succeed, if you carefully follow the statutes and ordinances that the LORD commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.
Tunc enim proficere poteris, si custodieris mandata, et iudicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Moysi ut doceret Israel: confortare et virilter age, ne timeas, neque paveas.
14 Now behold, I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the LORD—100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron too great to be weighed. I have also provided timber and stone, and you may add to them.
Ecce ego in paupertate mea præparavi impensas domus Domini, auri talenta centum millia, et argenti mille millia talentorum: æris vero, et ferri non est pondus, vincitur enim numerus magnitudine: ligna et lapides præparavi ad universa impendia.
15 You also have many workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled in every kind of work—
Habes quoque plurimos artifices, latomos, et cæmentarios, artificesque lignorum, et omnium artium ad faciendum opus prudentissimos,
16 in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and may the LORD be with you.”
in auro et argento et ære et ferro, cuius non est numerus. Surge igitur, et fac, et erit Dominus tecum.
17 Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon:
Præcepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israel, ut adiuvarent Salomonem filium suum.
18 “Is not the LORD your God with you, and has He not granted you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before the LORD and His people.
Cernitis, inquiens, quod Dominus Deus vester vobiscum sit, et dederit vobis requiem per circuitum, et tradiderit omnes inimicos vestros in manus vestras, et subiecta sit terra coram Domino, et coram populo eius.
19 Now set your heart and soul to seek the LORD your God. Get started building the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD.”
Præbete igitur corda vestra et animas vestras, ut quæratis Dominum Deum vestrum: et consurgite, et ædificate sanctuarium Domino Deo, ut introducatur arca fœderis Domini, et vasa Domino consecrata, in domum, quæ ædificatur nomini Domini.
