1 Kings 9
1 Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,
Factum est autem cum perfecisset Salomon ædificium domus Domini, et ædificium regis, et omne quod optaverat et voluerat facere,
2 the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
apparuit ei Dominus secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.
3 And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam, quam deprecatus es coram me: sanctificavi domum hanc, quam ædificasti, ut ponerem nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et erunt oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.
4 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me, sicut ambulavit pater tuus, in simplicitate cordis, et in æquitate: et feceris omnia, quæ præcepit tibi, et legitima mea et iudicia mea servaveris,
5 then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
ponam thronum regni tui super Israel in sempiternum, sicut locutus sum David patri tuo, dicens: Non auferetur vir de genere tuo de solio Israel.
6 But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
Si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri, non sequentes me, nec custodientes mandata mea, et ceremonias meas, quas proposui vobis, sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos, et adoraveritis eos:
7 then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.
auferam Israel de superficie terræ, quam dedi eis: et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo, proiiciam a conspectu meo, eritque Israel in proverbium, et in fabulam cunctis populis.
8 And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
Et domus hæc erit in exemplum: omnis, qui transierit per eam, stupebit, et sibilabit, et dicet: Quare fecit Dominus sic terræ huic, et domui huic?
9 And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
Et respondebunt: Quia derelinquerunt Dominum Deum suum, qui eduxit patres eorum de Terra Ægypti, et secuti sunt deos alienos, et adoraverunt eos, et coluerunt eos: idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc.
10 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace,
Expletis autem annis viginti postquam ædificaverat Salomon duas domos, id est, domum Domini, et domum regis,
11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
(Hiram rege Tyri præbente Salomoni ligna cedrina et abiegna, et aurum iuxta omne quod opus habuerat) tunc dedit Salomon Hiram viginti oppida in Terra Galilææ.
12 So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
Et egressus est Hiram de Tyro, ut videret oppida, quæ dederat ei Salomon, et non placuerunt ei,
13 “What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
et ait: Hæcine sunt civitates, quas dedisti mihi, frater? Et appellavit eas terram Chabul, usque in diem hanc.
14 And Hiram had sent the king 120 talents of gold.
Misit quoque Hiram ad regem Salomonem centum viginti talenta auri.
15 This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
Hæc est summa expensarum, quam obtulit rex Salomon ad ædificandam domum Domini et domum suam, et Mello, et murum Ierusalem, et Heser, et Mageddo et Gazer.
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
Pharao rex Ægypti ascendit, et cepit Gazar, succenditque eam igni: et Chananæum, qui habitabat in civitate, interfecit, et dedit eam in dotem filiæ suæ uxori Salomonis.
17 So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,
Ædificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,
18 Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
et Balaath, et Palmiram in terra solitudinis.
19 as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
Et omnes vicos, qui ad se pertinebant, et erant absque muro, munivit, et civitates curruum et civitates equitum, et quodcumque ei placuit ut ædificaret in Ierusalem, et in Libano, et in omni terra potestatis suæ.
20 As for all the people who remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
Universum populum, qui remanserat de Amorrhæis, et Hethæis, et Pherezæis, et Hevæis, et Iebusæis, qui non sunt de filiis Israel:
21 their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to devote to destruction —Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
horum filios, qui remanserant in terra, quos scilicet non potuerant filii Israel exterminare: fecit Salomon tributarios, usque in diem hanc.
22 But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slavery, because they were his men of war, his servants, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
De filiis autem Israel non constituit Salomon servire quemquam, sed erant viri bellatores, et ministri eius, et principes, et duces, et præfecti curruum et equorum.
23 They were also the chief officers over Solomon’s projects: 550 supervisors over the people who did the work.
Erant autem principes super omnia opera Salomonis præpositi quingenti quinquaginta, qui habebant subiectum populum, et statutis operibus imperabant.
24 As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
Filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam, quam ædificaverat ei Salomon: tunc ædificavit Mello.
25 Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.
Offerebat quoque Salomon tribus vicibus per annos singulos holocausta, et pacificas victimas super altare, quod ædificaverat Domino, et adolebat thymiama coram Domino: perfectumque est templum.
26 King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
Classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber, quæ est iuxta Ailath in littore Maris Rubri, in Terra Idumææ.
27 And Hiram sent his servants, men who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.
Misitque Hiram in classe illa servos suos viros nauticos et gnaros maris, cum servis Salomonis.
28 They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there—420 talents —and delivered it to Solomon.
Qui cum venissent in Ophir, sumptum inde aurum quadringentorum viginti talentorum, detulerunt ad regem Salomonem.
