1 Chronicles 29
1 And king David said unto all the assembly, Solomon, the only son of mine whom God hath made choice of, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; because not for man is the palace to be, but for the Lord God.
Locutusque est David rex ad omnem ecclesiam: Salomonem filium meum unum elegit Deus, adhuc puerum et tenellum: opus namque grande est, neque enim homini praeparatur habitatio, sed Deo.
2 But with all my might have I made ready for the house of my God, the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the copper for the things of copper, the iron for the things of iron, and the wood for the things of wood, onyx stones, and stones to be set, bright stones, and stones of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
Ego autem totis viribus meis praeparavi impensas domus Dei mei. Aurum ad vasa aurea, et argentum in argentea, aes in aenea, ferrum in ferrea, ligna ad lignea: et lapides onychinos, et quasi stibinos, et diversorum colorum, omnemque pretiosum lapidem, et marmor Parium abundantissime:
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, have I acquired as my own property gold and silver; [and this] have I given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house:
et super haec, quae obtuli in domum Dei mei de peculio meo aurum et argentum, do in templum Dei mei, exceptis his, quae praeparavi in aedem sanctam.
4 Three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses;
Tria millia talenta auri de auro Ophir: et septem millia talentorum argenti probatissimi ad deaurandos parietes templi.
5 All that is needed of gold and of silver, and for every manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [now] is willing to consecrate his hand this day unto the Lord?
Et, ubicumque opus est aurum de auro, et ubicumque opus est argentum de argento, opera fiant per manus artificum: et si quis sponte offert, impleat manum suam hodie, et offerat quod voluerit Domino.
6 Thereupon offered voluntarily the chiefs of the family divisions and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, with the supervisors of the king's work;
Polliciti sunt itaque principes familiarum, et proceres tribuum Israel, tribuni quoque, et centuriones, et principes possessionum regis.
7 And they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drachms, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of copper eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.
Dederuntque in opera domus Dei auri talenta quinque millia, et solidos decem millia: argenti talenta decem millia, et aeris talenta decem et octo millia: ferri quoque centum millia talentorum.
8 And those with whom stones were found gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, under the supervision of Jechiel the Gershunite.
Et apud quemcumque inventi sunt lapides, dederunt in thesauros domus Domini, per manum Iahiel Gersonitis.
9 Then did the people rejoice, because they had voluntarily offered: for with an undivided heart did they offer to the Lord: and also king David rejoiced with great joy.
Laetatusque est populus, cum vota sponte promitterent: quia corde toto offerebant ea Domino: sed et David rex laetatus est gaudio magno.
10 And David blessed the Lord before the eyes of all the congregation; and David said, Blessed be thou, O Lord the God of Israel our father, from everlasting even unto everlasting.
Et benedixit Domino coram universa multitudine, et ait: Benedictus es Domine Deus Israel patris nostri ab aeterno in aeternum.
11 Thine, O Lord, are the greatness, and the might, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty, yea, all that is in the heavens and on the earth: thine, O Lord, is the kingdom, and thou art exalted as the head above all.
Tua est Domine magnificentia, et potentia, et gloria, atque victoria: et tibi laus: cuncta enim quae in caelo sunt, et in terra, tua sunt: tuum Domine regnum, et tu es super omnes principes.
12 And riches and honor come from thee, and thou rulest over all; and in thy hand are power and might; and it is in thy hand to make great, and to give strength unto all.
Tuae divitiae, et tua est gloria: tu dominaris omnium, in manu tua virtus et potentia: in manu tua magnitudo, et imperium omnium.
13 And now, O our God, we give thanks unto thee, and praise thy glorious name.
Nunc igitur Deus noster confitemur tibi, et laudamus nomen tuum inclytum.
14 For who am I, and what is my people, that we should possess the power to offer voluntarily after this sort? for from thee is every thing, and out of thy own have we given unto thee.
Quis ego, et quis populus meus, ut possimus haec tibi universa promittere? tua sunt omnia: et quae de manu tua accepimus dedimus tibi.
15 For strangers are we before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: like a shadow are our days on the earth, and there is no hope [of abiding].
Peregrini enim sumus coram te, et advenae, sicut omnes patres nostri. Dies nostri quasi umbra super terram, et nulla est mora.
16 O Lord our God! all this abundant store which we have prepared to build for thee a house for thy holy name, is out of thy own hand, and thine is all.
Domine Deus noster, omnis haec copia, quam paravimus ut aedificaretur domus nomini sancto tuo, de manu tua est, et tua sunt omnia.
17 And I know, my God, that thou probest the heart, and uprightness thou receivest in favor. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart have I voluntarily offered all these things; and now thy people, that are present here, do I see with joy offering voluntarily unto thee.
Scio Deus meus quod probes corda, et simplicitatem diligas, unde et ego in simplicitate cordis mei laetus obtuli universa haec: et populum tuum, qui hic repertus est, vidi cum ingenti gaudio tibi offerre donaria.
18 O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our father, preserve this for ever as the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and direct their heart firmly unto thee.
Domine Deus Abraham, et Isaac, et Israel patrum nostrorum, custodi in aeternum hanc voluntatem cordis eorum, et semper in venerationem tui mens ista permaneat.
19 And unto Solomon my son do thou give an undivided heart to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all, and to build the palace, for which I have made preparation.
Salomoni quoque filio meo da cor perfectum, ut custodiat mandata tua, testimonia tua, et ceremonias tuas, et faciat universa: et aedificet aedem, cuius impensas paravi.
20 And David said to all the assembly. Bless now the Lord your God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers, and bent down their heads, and prostrated themselves to the Lord, and to the king.
Praecepit autem David universae ecclesiae: Benedicite Domino Deo nostro. Et benedixit omnis ecclesia Domino Deo patrum suorum: et inclinaverunt se, et adoraverunt Deum, et deinde regem.
21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord, and they offered burnt-offerings unto the Lord, on the morrow after that day, one thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand sheep, with their drink-offerings, and [other] sacrifices in abundance for all Israel;
Immolaveruntque victimas Domino: et obtulerunt holocausta die sequenti, tauros mille, arietes mille, agnos mille cum libaminibus suis, et universo ritu abundantissime in omnem Israel.
22 And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day with great joy. And they declared the second time Solomon the son of David to be king, and they anointed him unto the Lord as chief ruler, and Zadok as priest.
Et comederunt, et biberunt coram Domino in die illo cum grandi laetitia. Et unxerunt secundo Salomonem filium David. Unxerunt autem eum Domino in principem, et Sadoc in pontificem.
23 Then sat Solomon on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and he was prosperous; and all Israel obeyed him.
Seditque Salomon super solium Domini in regem pro David patre suo, et cunctis placuit: et paruit illi omnis Israel.
24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of king David, submitted themselves unto king Solomon.
Sed et universi principes, et potentes, et cuncti filii regis David dederunt manum, et subiecti fuerunt Salomoni regi.
25 And the Lord made Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel; and he bestowed upon him a royal majesty such as had not been on any king over Israel before him.
Magnificavit ergo Dominus Salomonem super omnem Israel: et dedit illi gloriam regni, qualem nullus habuit ante eum rex Israel.
26 Thus did David the son of Jesse reign over all Israel.
Igitur David filius Isai regnavit super universum Israel.
27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three [years].
Et dies, quibus regnavit super Israel, fuerunt quadraginta anni: in Hebron regnavit septem annis, et in Ierusalem annis trigintatribus.
28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son became king in his stead.
Et mortuus est in senectute bona, plenus dierum, et divitiis, et gloria. et regnavit Salomon filius eius pro eo.
29 And the acts of king David, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,
Gesta autem David regis priora, et novissima scripta sunt in Libro Samuelis Videntis, et in Libro Nathan prophetae, atque in volumine Gad Videntis:
30 Together with all his reign and his mighty deeds, and the times that passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the [various] countries.
Universique regni eius, et fortitudinis, et temporum, quae transierunt sub eo, sive in Israel, sive in cunctis regnis terrarum.
