2 Chronicles 8
1 It had taken twenty years for Solomon to build the Temple of the Lord and his own palace.
καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ εἴκοσι ἔτη ἐν οἷς ᾠκοδόμησεν Σαλωμων τὸν οἶκον κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον ἑαυτοῦ
2 Solomon rebuilt the towns Hiram had given him, and sent Israelites to live there.
καὶ τὰς πόλεις ἃς ἔδωκεν Χιραμ τῷ Σαλωμων ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτὰς Σαλωμων καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐκεῖ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ
3 Then Solomon attacked Hamath-zobah and captured it.
καὶ ἦλθεν Σαλωμων εἰς Αιμαθ Σωβα καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτήν
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness and also built all the storehouse towns in Hamath.
καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Θεδμορ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυράς ἃς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν Ημαθ
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls and barred gates,
καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Βαιθωρων τὴν ἄνω καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρων τὴν κάτω πόλεις ὀχυράς τείχη πύλαι καὶ μοχλοί
6 and also Baalath. He built all the storehouse towns that belonged to him, and all the towns where he kept his chariots and horses. He built everything he wanted to in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
καὶ τὴν Βααλαθ καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυράς αἳ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμων καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἱππέων καὶ ὅσα ἐπεθύμησεν Σαλωμων κατὰ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ
7 There were some people who remained in the land: the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—people who were not Israelites.
πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ καταλειφθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τοῦ Αμορραίου καὶ τοῦ Φερεζαίου καὶ τοῦ Ευαίου καὶ τοῦ Ιεβουσαίου οἳ οὔκ εἰσιν ἐκ τοῦ Ισραηλ
8 They were the remaining descendants of the peoples that the Israelites had not destroyed. Solomon made them work as forced laborers, as they are to this day.
ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν τῶν καταλειφθέντων μετ’ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ οὓς οὐκ ἐξωλέθρευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς Σαλωμων εἰς φόρον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης
9 But Solomon did not make any of the Israelites work as slaves. Instead, they were his military men, his officers, and commanders of his chariots and horsemen.
καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ οὐκ ἔδωκεν Σαλωμων εἰς παῖδας τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἄνδρες πολεμισταὶ καὶ ἄρχοντες καὶ δυνατοὶ καὶ ἄρχοντες ἁρμάτων καὶ ἱππέων
10 They were also King Solomon's chief officers, 250 men who supervised the people.
καὶ οὗτοι ἄρχοντες τῶν προστατῶν βασιλέως Σαλωμων πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσιοι ἐργοδιωκτοῦντες ἐν τῷ λαῷ
11 Solomon moved Pharaoh's daughter from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife cannot live in the palace of David king of Israel, because wherever the Ark of the Lord has gone are holy places.”
καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραω Σαλωμων ἀνήγαγεν ἐκ πόλεως Δαυιδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτῇ ὅτι εἶπεν οὐ κατοικήσει ἡ γυνή μου ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ τοῦ βασιλέως Ισραηλ ὅτι ἅγιός ἐστιν οὗ εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ κιβωτὸς κυρίου
12 Then Solomon presented burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord he had built in front of the Temple's porch.
τότε ἀνήνεγκεν Σαλωμων ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ὃ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἀπέναντι τοῦ ναοῦ
13 He followed the requirement for daily offerings as Moses had ordered for Sabbaths, new moons, and the three annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
καὶ κατὰ τὸν λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ ἀναφέρειν κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς Μωυσῆ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς μησὶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς τρεῖς καιροὺς τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ τῶν ἀζύμων καὶ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ τῶν ἑβδομάδων καὶ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ τῶν σκηνῶν
14 Following the instructions of his father David, he assigned the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites in their responsibilities to offer praise, and to help the priests in their daily duties. He also assigned gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate as David, the man of God, had instructed.
καὶ ἔστησεν κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν Δαυιδ τὰς διαιρέσεις τῶν ἱερέων κατὰ τὰς λειτουργίας αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐπὶ τὰς φυλακὰς αὐτῶν τοῦ αἰνεῖν καὶ λειτουργεῖν κατέναντι τῶν ἱερέων κατὰ τὸν λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ καὶ οἱ πυλωροὶ κατὰ τὰς διαιρέσεις αὐτῶν εἰς πύλην καὶ πύλην ὅτι οὕτως ἐντολαὶ Δαυιδ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ
15 They followed David's instructions exactly regarding the priests, the Levites, and anything to do with the treasuries.
οὐ παρῆλθον τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ βασιλέως περὶ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν εἰς πάντα λόγον καὶ εἰς τοὺς θησαυρούς
16 This is how all Solomon's work was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the Lord's Temple until it was finished. So the Lord's Temple was completed.
καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐργασία ἀφ’ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐθεμελιώθη ἕως οὗ ἐτελείωσεν Σαλωμων τὸν οἶκον κυρίου
17 After this Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of the land of Edom.
τότε ᾤχετο Σαλωμων εἰς Γασιωνγαβερ καὶ εἰς τὴν Αιλαθ τὴν παραθαλασσίαν ἐν γῇ Ιδουμαίᾳ
18 Hiram sent him ships under the command of his own officers, along with experienced sailors. They went with Solomon's men to Ophir where they loaded 450 talents of gold, which they then brought back to King Solomon.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Χιραμ ἐν χειρὶ παίδων αὐτοῦ πλοῖα καὶ παῖδας εἰδότας θάλασσαν καὶ ᾤχοντο μετὰ τῶν παίδων Σαλωμων εἰς Σωφιρα καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν τετρακόσια καὶ πεντήκοντα τάλαντα χρυσίου καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμων
