1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, to Jerusalem.
Convocavit igitur David omnes principes Israel, duces tribuum, et praepositos turmarum, qui ministrabant regi: tribunos quoque et centuriones, et qui praeerant substantiae et possessionibus regis, filiosque suos cum eunuchis, et potentes, et robustissimos quosque in exercitu Ierusalem.
2 Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, Hear me, my brothers, and my people: As for me, I had in my heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:
Cumque surrexisset rex, et stetisset, ait: Audite me fratres mei, et populus meus: Cogitavi ut aedificarem domum, in qua requiesceret arca foederis Domini, et scabellum pedum Dei nostri: et ad aedificandum, omnia praeparavi.
3 But God said to me, You shall not build an house for my name, because you have been a man of war, and have shed blood.
Deus autem dixit mihi: Non aedificabis domum nomini meo, eo quod sis vir bellator, et sanguinem fuderis.
4 However, the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he has chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:
Sed elegit Dominus Deus Israel me de universa domo patris mei, ut essem rex super Israel in sempiternum: de Iuda enim elegit principes: porro de domo Iuda, domum patris mei: et de filiis patris mei, placuit ei ut me eligeret regem super cunctum Israel.
5 And of all my sons, (for the LORD has given me many sons, ) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
Sed et de filiis meis (filios enim mihi multos dedit Dominus) elegit Salomonem filium meum, ut sederet in throno regni Domini super Israel,
6 And he said to me, Solomon your son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
dixitque mihi: Salomon filius tuus aedificabit domum meam, et atria mea: ipsum enim elegi mihi in filium, et ego ero ei in patrem.
7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.
Et firmabo regnum eius usque in aeternum, si perseveraverit facere praecepta mea, et iudicia, sicut et hodie.
8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.
Nunc ergo coram universo coetu Israel audiente Deo nostro, custodite, et perquirite cuncta mandata Domini Dei nostri: ut possideatis Terram bonam, et relinquatis eam filiis vestris post vos usque in sempiternum.
9 And you, Solomon my son, know you the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off for ever.
Tu autem Salomon fili mi, scito Deum patris tui, et servito ei corde perfecto, animo voluntario: omnia enim corda scrutatur Dominus, et universas mentium cogitationes intelligit. Si quaesieris eum, invenies: si autem dereliqueris eum, proiiciet te in aeternum.
10 Take heed now; for the LORD has chosen you to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
Nunc ergo quia elegit te Dominus ut aedificares domum Sanctuarii, confortare, et perfice.
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlors thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,
Dedit autem David Salomoni filio suo descriptionem porticus, et templi, et cellariorum, et coenaculi, et cubiculorum in adytis, et domus propitiationis,
12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
necnon et omnium quae cogitaverat atriorum, et exedrarum per circuitum in thesauros domus Domini, et in thesauros sanctorum,
13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.
divisionumque Sacerdotalium et Leviticarum, in omnia opera domus Domini, et in universa vasa ministerii templi Domini.
14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
Aurum in pondere per singula vasa ministerii. Argenti quoque pondus pro vasorum et operum diversitate.
15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.
Sed et in candelabra aurea, et ad lucernas eorum, aurum pro mensura uniuscuiusque candelabri et lucernarum. Similiter et in candelabra argentea, et in lucernas eorum, pro diversitate mensurae, pondus argenti tradidit.
16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of show bread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
Aurum quoque dedit in mensas propositionis pro diversitate mensarum: similiter et argentum in alias mensas argenteas.
17 Also pure gold for the meat hooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; and likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver:
Ad fuscinulas quoque, et phialas, et thuribula ex auro purissimo, et leunculos aureos pro qualitate mensurae pondus distribuit in leunculum, et leunculum. Similiter et in leones argenteos diversum argenti pondus separavit.
18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
Altari autem, in quo adoletur incensum, aurum purissimum dedit: ut ex ipso fieret similitudo quadrigae cherubim extendentium alas, et velantium arcam foederis Domini.
19 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand on me, even all the works of this pattern.
Omnia, inquit, venerunt scripta manu Domini ad me, ut intelligerem universa opera exemplaris.
20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
Dixit quoque David Salomoni filio suo: Viriliter age, et confortare, et fac: ne timeas, et ne paveas: Dominus enim Deus meus tecum erit, et non dimittet te, nec derelinquet donec perficias omne opus ministerii domus Domini.
21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with you for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with you for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at your commandment.
Ecce divisiones Sacerdotum et Levitarum, in omne ministerium domus Domini assistunt tibi, et parati sunt, et noverunt tam principes quam populus facere omnia praecepta tua.
