1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the divisions that ministered to the king, and the captains of the thousands, and the captains of the hundreds, and the rulers of all the property and the cattle of the king and of his sons, with the court-servants, and the mighty men, and with all the valiant men of the army, unto 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 arose king David upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people! I had in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and I had made preparations to build;
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 unto me, Thou shalt not build a house unto my name; because thou art a man of war, and blood hast thou shed.
Deus autem dixit mihi: Non aedificabis domum nomini meo, eo quod sis vir bellator, et sanguinem fuderis.
4 Yet the Lord the God of Israel made choice of me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for of Judah had he made choice as ruler, and among the house of Judah, of the house of my father; and among the sons of my father had he pleasure in 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 hath given me many sons, — hath he made choice of Solomon my son, to sit upon 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 hath said unto me, Solomon thy son it is that shall build my house and my courts; for I have made choice of him to be as a son unto me, and I will be indeed to him as a 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 firmly establish his kingdom for everlasting, if he be strong to execute my commandments and my ordinances as it is this day.
Et firmabo regnum eius usque in aeternum, si perseveraverit facere praecepta mea, et iudicia, sicut et hodie.
8 And now before the eyes of all Israel, the congregation of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, [I admonish you] observe and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God: in order that ye may keep possession of this good land, and leave it for an inheritance unto your children after you forever.
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 thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with an entire heart and with a willing soul; for all hearts doth the Lord search, and every imagination of the thoughts doth he understand; if thou seek him, he will let himself be found by thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee 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 See now that the Lord hath made choice of thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong and do it.
Nunc ergo quia elegit te Dominus ut aedificares domum Sanctuarii, confortare, et perfice.
11 Then gave David to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its apartments, and of its treasuries, and of upper chambers, and of its inner chambers, and of the place of the cover of the ark.
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 in his spirit, concerning the courts of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the chambers round about, concerning the treasuries of the house of God, and concerning the treasuries of the holy things:
necnon et omnium quae cogitaverat atriorum, et exedrarum per circuitum in thesauros domus Domini, et in thesauros sanctorum,
13 Also concerning the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and concerning all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the vessels of service of the house of the Lord;
divisionumque Sacerdotalium et Leviticarum, in omnia opera domus Domini, et in universa vasa ministerii templi Domini.
14 Concerning the golden vessels, after the weight of the gold, for all the vessels of all manner of service; concerning all the vessels of silver after the weight, for all the vessels of every kind of service;
Aurum in pondere per singula vasa ministerii. Argenti quoque pondus pro vasorum et operum diversitate.
15 Also the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, after the weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps; and concerning the candlesticks of silver after the weight, for the candlestick, and for its lamps, 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 the gold after the weight for the tables of the rows of shewbread, for every table; and the silver for the tables of silver;
Aurum quoque dedit in mensas propositionis pro diversitate mensarum: similiter et argentum in alias mensas argenteas.
17 Also [concerning] the forks, and the bowls, and the supporters of pure gold; and concerning the golden cups after the weight for every cup; and concerning the silver cups after the weight for every cup;
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 concerning the altar of incense the refined gold after the weight; and concerning the pattern of the chariot of the golden cherubim, which spread out [their wings], and over 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, ] was put in writing from the hand of the Lord, who gave me instruction [respecting] all the works of the 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 [the work]; fear not, and be not dismayed; for the Lord God, [yea, ] my God is with thee: he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou 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 divisions of the priests and the Levites are there for all the service of the house of God; and with thee are in all manner of workmanship all kinds of men distinguished in wisdom, for every manner of service; and the princes and all the people are ready [to obey] all thy words.
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.
