1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram King of Tyrus sent his seruants vnto Salomon, (for he had heard, that they had anoynted him King in the roume of his father) because Hiram had euer loued Dauid.
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 Also Salomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Misit autem Salomon ad Hiram, dicens:
3 Thou knowest that Dauid my father could not build an house vnto the Name of the Lord his God, for the warres which were about him on euery side, vntill the Lord had put them vnder the soles of his feete.
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 the Lord my God hath giuen me rest on euery side, so that there is neither aduersarie, nor euill to resist.
Nunc autem requiem dedit Dominus Deus meus mihi per circuitum: et non est satan, neque occursus malus.
5 And beholde, I purpose to build an house vnto ye Name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake vnto Dauid my father, saying, Thy sonne, whom I wil set vpon thy throne for thee, he shall build an house vnto 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 Now therefore commaund, that they hewe me cedar trees out of Lebanon, and my seruants shall be with thy seruants, and vnto thee will I giue the hire for thy seruants, according to all that thou shalt appoynt: for thou knowest that there are none among vs, that can hewe timber like vnto the Sidonians.
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 when Hiram heard the wordes of Salomon, he reioyced greatly, and sayde, Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath giuen vnto Dauid a wise sonne ouer this mightie 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 Salomon, saying, I haue considered the things, for the which thou sentest vnto me, and will accomplish all thy desire, concerning the cedar trees and firre trees.
Et misit Hiram ad Salomonem, dicens: Audivi quaecumque mandasti mihi: ego faciam omnem voluntatem tuam in lignis cedrinis et abiegnis.
9 My seruants shall bring them downe from Lebanon to the sea: and I will conuey them by sea in raftes vnto the place that thou shalt shew me, and wil cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receiue them: nowe thou shalt doe mee a pleasure to minister foode for my familie.
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 gaue Salomon cedar trees and firre trees, euen his full desire.
Itaque Hiram dabat Salomoni ligna cedrina, et ligna abiegna, iuxta omnem voluntatem eius.
11 And Salomon gaue Hiram twentie thousand measures of wheate for foode to his householde, and twentie measures of beaten oyle. Thus much gaue Salomon to Hiram yere by yere.
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 the Lord gaue Salomon wisedome as he promised him. And there was peace betweene Hiram and Salomon, and they two made a couenant.
Dedit quoque Dominus sapientiam Salomoni, sicut locutus est ei: et erat pax inter Hiram et Salomonem, et percusserunt ambo foedus.
13 And King Salomon raised a summe out of all Israel, and the summe was thirtie thousand men:
Elegitque rex Salomon operarios de omni Israel, et erat indictio triginta millia virorum.
14 Whome he sent to Lebanon, ten thousand a moneth by course: they were a moneth in Lebanon, and two moneths at home. And Adoniram was ouer the summe.
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 Salomon had seuentie thousand that bare burdens, and fourescore thousand masons in the mountaine,
Fueruntque Salomoni septuaginta millia eorum qui onera portabant, et octoginta millia latomorum in monte:
16 Besides the princes, whome Salomon appoynted ouer the worke, euen three thousande and three hundreth, which ruled the people that wrought in the worke.
absque praepositis qui praeerant singulis operibus, numero trium millium, et trecentorum praecipientium populo et his qui faciebant opus.
17 And the King commanded them, and they brought great stones and costly stones to make the foundation of the house, euen hewed stones.
Praecepitque rex, ut tollerent lapides grandes, lapides pretiosos in fundamentum templi, et quadrarent eos:
18 And Salomons workemen, and the workemen of Hiram, and the masons hewed and prepared timber and stones for the buylding of the house.
quos dolaverunt caementarii Salomonis, et caementarii Hiram: porro Giblii praeparaverunt ligna et lapides ad aedificandam domum.
