1 Chronicles 29
1 And king David spoke to the entire assembly: “My son Solomon, the one God has chosen, is still a tender boy. And yet the work is great, for a habitation is being prepared, not for man, but for God.
locutusque est David rex ad omnem ecclesiam Salomonem filium meum unum elegit Deus adhuc puerum et tenellum opus autem grande est neque enim homini praeparatur habitatio sed Deo
2 Now with all my ability, I have prepared the expenses for the house of my God: gold for items of gold, and silver for those of silver, brass for those of brass, iron for those of iron, and wood for those of wood, and stones of onyx, and stones like alabaster, and stones of diverse colors, and every kind of precious stone, and marble from Paros in great abundance.
ego autem totis viribus meis praeparavi inpensas domus Dei mei aurum ad vasa aurea et argentum in argentea aes in aenea ferrum in ferrea lignum ad lignea lapides onychinos et quasi stibinos et diversorum colorum omnem pretiosum lapidem et marmor parium abundantissime
3 And in addition to these things that I have offered into the house of my God, I give, from my own belongings, gold and silver for the temple of my God, aside from those things that I have prepared for the holy shrine:
et super haec quae obtuli in domum Dei mei de peculio meo aurum et argentum do in templum Dei mei exceptis his quae paravi in aedem sanctam
4 three thousand talents of gold, from the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of highly-refined silver, for the gilding of the walls of the temple;
tria milia talenta auri de auro Ophir et septem milia talentorum argenti probatissimi ad deaurandos parietes templi
5 and gold for wherever there is need of gold, and silver for wherever there is need of silver, for the works to be done by the hands of the artisans. And if anyone freely offers, let him fill his hand this day, and let him offer whatever he wishes to the Lord.”
ut ubicumque opus est aurum de auro et ubicumque opus est argentum argenti opera fiant per manus artificum et si quis sponte offert impleat manum suam hodie et offerat quod voluerit Domino
6 And so the leaders of the families, and the nobles of the tribes of Israel, as well as the tribunes and the centurions and the overseers of the king’s possessions, promised
polliciti sunt itaque principes familiarum et proceres tribuum Israhel tribuni quoque et centuriones et principes possessionum regis
7 and gave, for the works of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and also one hundred thousand talents of iron.
dederuntque in opera domus Dei auri talenta quinque milia et solidos decem milia argenti talenta decem milia et aeris talenta decem et octo milia ferri quoque centum milia talentorum
8 And whoever found precious stones among their belongings gave them to the treasuries of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
et apud quemcumque inventi sunt lapides dederunt in thesaurum domus Domini per manum Ieihel Gersonitis
9 And the people rejoiced, since they were promising their votive offerings willingly. For they were offering these to the Lord with all their heart. And king David also rejoiced with great gladness.
laetatusque est populus cum vota sponte promitterent quia corde toto offerebant ea Domino sed et David rex laetatus est gaudio magno
10 And he blessed the Lord before the entire multitude, and he said: “Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father from eternity to eternity.
et benedixit Domino coram universa multitudine et ait benedictus es Domine Deus Israhel patris nostri ab aeterno in aeternum
11 Yours, O Lord, is magnificence and power and glory, and also victory; and to you is praise. For all the things that are in heaven and on earth are yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are above all rulers.
tua est Domine magnificentia et potentia et gloria atque victoria et tibi laus cuncta enim quae in caelo sunt et in terra tua sunt tuum Domine regnum et tu es super omnes principes
12 Yours is wealth, and yours is glory. You have dominion over all things. In your hand is virtue and power. In your hand is greatness and authority over all things.
tuae divitiae et tua est gloria tu dominaris omnium in manu tua virtus et potentia in manu tua magnitudo et imperium omnium
13 Now therefore, we confess to you, our God, and we praise your famous name.
nunc igitur Deus noster confitemur tibi et laudamus nomen tuum inclitum
14 Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise all these things to you? All is yours. And so the things that we received from your hand, we have given to you.
quis ego et quis populus meus ut possimus haec tibi universa promittere tua sunt omnia et quae de manu tua accepimus dedimus tibi
15 For we are sojourners and new arrivals before you, as all our fathers were. Our days upon the earth are like a shadow, and there is no delay.
peregrini enim sumus coram te et advenae sicut omnes patres nostri dies nostri quasi umbra super terram et nulla est mora
16 O Lord our God, all this abundance, which we have prepared so that a house may be built to your holy name, is from your hand, and all things are yours.
Domine Deus noster omnis haec copia quam paravimus ut aedificaretur domus nomini sancto tuo de manu tua est et tua sunt omnia
17 I know, my God, that you test hearts, and that you love simplicity. Therefore, in the simplicity of my heart, I also have offered all these things joyfully. And I have seen, with immense gladness, your people, who have been found here, offering their donations to you.
scio Deus meus quod probes corda et simplicitatem diligas unde et ego in simplicitate cordis mei laetus obtuli universa haec et populum tuum qui hic reppertus est vidi cum ingenti gaudio tibi offerre donaria
18 O Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham and Isaac and Israel, preserve unto eternity this desire of their heart, and let this purpose remain forever, for the worship of you.
Domine Deus Abraham et Isaac et Israhel patrum nostrorum custodi in aeternum hanc voluntatem cordis eorum et semper in venerationem tui mens ista permaneat
19 Also, I give to my son Solomon a perfect heart, so that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your ceremonies, and so that he may accomplish all things, and may build the temple, for which I have prepared the expenses.”
Salomoni quoque filio meo da cor perfectum ut custodiat mandata tua testimonia tua caerimonias tuas et faciat universa et aedificet aedem cuius inpensas paravi
20 Then David instructed the entire assembly: “Bless the Lord our God.” And the entire assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers. And they bowed themselves, and they adored God, and next they reverenced the king.
praecepit autem David universae ecclesiae benedicite Domino Deo nostro et benedixit omnis ecclesia Domino Deo patrum suorum et inclinaverunt se et adoraverunt Deum et deinde regem
21 And they immolated victims to the Lord. And they offered holocausts on the following day: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, with their libations and with every ritual, very abundantly, for all of Israel.
immolaveruntque victimas Domino et obtulerunt holocausta die sequenti tauros mille arietes mille agnos mille cum libaminibus suis et universo ritu abundantissime in omnem Israhel
22 And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day, with great rejoicing. And they anointed Solomon, the son of David, a second time. And they anointed him to the Lord as the ruler, and Zadok as the high priest.
et comederunt et biberunt coram Domino in die illo cum grandi laetitia et unxerunt secundo Salomonem filium David unxerunt autem Domino in principem et Sadoc in pontificem
23 And Solomon sat upon the throne of the Lord as king, in place of his father David, and it pleased everyone. And all of Israel obeyed him.
seditque Salomon super solium Domini in regem pro David patre suo et cunctis placuit et paruit illi omnis Israhel
24 Moreover, all the leaders, and the powerful, and all the sons of king David pledged with their hand, and they became subject to king Solomon.
sed et universi principes et potentes et cuncti filii regis David dederunt manum et subiecti fuerunt Salomoni regi
25 Then the Lord magnified Solomon over all of Israel. And he gave to him a glorious reign, of a kind such as no one has had before him, as king of Israel.
magnificavit ergo Dominus Salomonem super omnem Israhel et dedit illi gloriam regni qualem nullus habuit ante eum rex Israhel
26 Now David, the son of Jesse, reigned over all of Israel.
igitur David filius Isai regnavit super universum Israhel
27 And the days during which he reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
et dies quibus regnavit super Israhel fuerunt quadraginta anni in Hebron regnavit septem annis et in Hierusalem triginta tribus
28 And he died at a good old age, full of days and wealth and glory. And his son Solomon reigned in his place.
et mortuus est in senectute bona plenus dierum et divitiis et gloria regnavitque Salomon filius eius pro eo
29 Now the acts of king David, from the first to the last, have been written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
gesta autem David regis priora et novissima scripta sunt in libro Samuhel videntis et in libro Nathan prophetae atque in volumine Gad videntis
30 concerning his entire reign and strength, and the times that passed under him, both in Israel and in all the kingdoms of the lands.
universique regni eius et fortitudinis et temporum quae transierunt sub eo sive in Israhel sive in cunctis regnis terrarum
