2 Chronicles 8
1 It had taken twenty years for Solomon to build the Temple of the Lord and his own palace.
Expletis autem viginti annis postquam ædificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam:
2 Solomon rebuilt the towns Hiram had given him, and sent Israelites to live there.
civitates, quas dederat Hiram Salomoni, ædificavit, et habitare ibi fecit filios Israel.
3 Then Solomon attacked Hamath-zobah and captured it.
Abiit quoque in Emath Suba, et obtinuit eam.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness and also built all the storehouse towns in Hamath.
Et ædificavit Palmiram in deserto, et alias civitates munitissimas ædificavit in Emath.
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls and barred gates,
Extruxitque Bethoron superiorem, et Bethoron inferiorem, civitates muratas habentes portas et vectes et seras:
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.
Balaath etiam et omnes urbes firmissimas, quæ fuerunt Salomonis, cunctasque urbes quadrigarum, et urbes equitum. Omnia quæcumque voluit Salomon atque disposuit, ædificavit in Ierusalem et in Libano, et in universa terra potestatis suæ.
7 There were some people who remained in the land: the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—people who were not Israelites.
Omnem populum, qui derelictus fuerat de Hethæis, et Amorrhæis, et Pherezæis, et Hevæis, et Iebusæis, qui non erant de stirpe Israel,
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.
de filiis eorum: et de posteris, quos non interfecerant filii Israel, subiugavit Salomon in tributarios, usque in diem hanc.
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.
Porro de filiis Israel non posuit ut servirent operibus regis: ipsi enim erant viri bellatores, et duces primi, et principes quadrigarum et equitum eius.
10 They were also King Solomon's chief officers, 250 men who supervised the people.
Omnes autem principes exercitus regis Salomonis fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta, qui erudiebant populum.
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.”
Filiam vero Pharaonis transtulit de Civitate David in domum, quam ædificaverat ei. Dixit enim rex: Non habitabit uxor mea in domo David regis Israel, eo quod sanctificata sit: quia ingressa est in eam arca Domini.
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.
Tunc obtulit Salomon holocausta Domino super altare Domini, quod extruxerat ante porticum,
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.
ut per singulos dies offerretur in eo iuxta præceptum Moysi in Sabbatis et in calendis, et in festis diebus, ter per annum, id est, in sollemnitate azymorum, et in sollemnitatem hebdomadarum, et in sollemnitate tabernaculorum.
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.
Et constituit iuxta dispositionem David patris sui officia Sacerdotum in ministeriis suis: et Levitas in ordine suo, ut laudarent, et ministrarent coram Sacerdotibus iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei: et ianitores in divisionibus suis per portam et portam: sic enim præceperat David homo Dei.
15 They followed David's instructions exactly regarding the priests, the Levites, and anything to do with the treasuries.
Nec prætergressi sunt de mandatis regis tam Sacerdotes, quam Levitæ ex omnibus, quæ præceperat, et in custodiis thesaurorum.
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.
Omnes impensas præparatas habuit Salomon ex eo die, quo fundavit domum Domini usque in diem, quo perfecit eam.
17 After this Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of the land of Edom.
Tunc abiit Salomon in Asiongaber, et in Ailath ad oram Maris Rubri, quæ est in Terra Edom.
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.
Misit autem ei Hiram per manus servorum suorum naves, et nautas gnaros maris, et abierunt cum servis Salomonis in Ophir, tuleruntque inde quadringenta quinquaginta talenta auri, et attulerunt ad regem Salomonem.
