1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father; for Hiram always loved David.
Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri servos suos ad Salomonem: audivit enim quod ipsum unxissent regem pro patre eius: quia amicus fuerat Hiram David omni tempore.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Misit autem Salomon ad Hiram, dicens:
3 Thou knowest that David my father could not build a house unto the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
Tu scis voluntatem David patris mei, et quia non potuerit aedificare domum nomini Domini Dei sui propter bella imminentia per circuitum, donec daret Dominus eos sub vestigio pedum eius.
4 But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side: there is neither adversary nor evil event.
Nunc autem requiem dedit Dominus Deus meus mihi per circuitum: et non est satan, neque occursus malus.
5 And behold, I purpose to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy stead, he shall build a house unto my name.
Quamobrem cogito aedificare templum nomini Domini Dei mei, sicut locutus est Dominus David patri meo, dicens: Filius tuus, quem dabo pro te super solium tuum, ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo.
6 And now command that they hew me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say; for thou knowest that there is not among us any that are experienced in cutting timber like to the Zidonians.
Praecipe igitur ut praecidant mihi servi tui cedros de Libano, et servi mei sint cum servis tuis: mercedem autem servorum tuorum dabo tibi quamcumque petieris: scis enim quomodo non est in populo meo vir qui noverit ligna caedere sicut Sidonii.
7 And it came to pass when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.
Cum ergo audisset Hiram verba Salomonis, laetatus est valde, et ait: Benedictus Dominus Deus hodie, qui dedit David filium sapientissimum super populum hunc plurimum.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the things which thou sentest to me for: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of cypress.
Et misit Hiram ad Salomonem, dicens: Audivi quaecumque mandasti mihi: ego faciam omnem voluntatem tuam in lignis cedrinis et abiegnis.
9 My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will convey them by sea [in] rafts to the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them. And thou shalt accomplish my desire in giving food for my household.
Servi mei deponent ea de Libano ad mare: et ego componam ea in ratibus in mari usque ad locum, quem significaveris mihi; et applicabo ea ibi, et tu tolles ea: praebebisque necessaria mihi, ut detur cibus domui meae.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees [according to] all his desire.
Itaque Hiram dabat Salomoni ligna cedrina, et ligna abiegna, iuxta omnem voluntatem eius.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
Salomon autem praebebat Hiram coros tritici, viginti millia, in cibum domui eius, et viginti coros purissimi olei: haec tribuebat Salomon Hiram per singulos annos.
12 And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom as he promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league.
Dedit quoque Dominus sapientiam Salomoni, sicut locutus est ei: et erat pax inter Hiram et Salomonem, et percusserunt ambo foedus.
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Elegitque rex Salomon operarios de omni Israel, et erat indictio triginta millia virorum.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy.
Mittebatque eos in Libanum, decem millia per menses singulos vicissim, ita ut duobus mensibus essent in domibus suis: et Adoniram erat super huiuscemodi indictione.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountains;
Fueruntque Salomoni septuaginta millia eorum qui onera portabant, et octoginta millia latomorum in monte:
16 besides the overseers whom Solomon had set over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
absque praepositis qui praeerant singulis operibus, numero trium millium, et trecentorum praecipientium populo et his qui faciebant opus.
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
Praecepitque rex, ut tollerent lapides grandes, lapides pretiosos in fundamentum templi, et quadrarent eos:
18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Giblites hewed them, and prepared timber and stones to build the house.
quos dolaverunt caementarii Salomonis, et caementarii Hiram: porro Giblii praeparaverunt ligna et lapides ad aedificandam domum.
