1 Kings 8
1 Then Solomon assembles the elderly of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from the City of David—it [is] Zion;
Tunc congregati sunt omnes maiores natu Israel cum principibus tribuum, et duces familiarum filiorum Israel ad regem Salomonem in Ierusalem: ut deferrent arcam foederis Domini, de civitate David, id est, de Sion.
2 and all the men of Israel are assembled to King Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival (the seventh month).
Convenitque ad regem Salomonem universus Israel in mense Bethanim, in sollemni die, ipse est mensis septimus.
3 And all [the] elderly of Israel come in, and the priests lift up the Ark,
Veneruntque cuncti senes de Israel, et tulerunt arcam sacerdotes,
4 and bring up the Ark of YHWH, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, indeed, the priests and the Levites bring them up.
et portaverunt arcam Domini, et tabernaculum foederis, et omnia vasa Sanctuarii, quae erant in tabernaculo: et ferebant ea sacerdotes et Levitae.
5 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who are assembled to him [are] with him before the Ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered for multitude.
Rex autem Salomon, et omnis multitudo Israel, quae convenerat ad eum, gradiebatur cum illo ante arcam, et immolabant oves et boves absque aestimatione et numero.
6 And the priests bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to its place, to the oracle of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubim;
Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam foederis Domini in locum suum, in oraculum templi, in Sanctum sanctorum subter alas cherubim.
7 for the cherubim are spreading forth two wings to the place of the Ark, and the cherubim cover over the Ark, and over its poles from above;
Siquidem cherubim expandebant alas super locum arcae, et protegebant arcam, et vectes eius desuper.
8 and they lengthen the poles, and the heads of the poles are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen outside, and they are there to this day.
Cumque eminerent vectes, et apparerent summitates eorum foris Sanctuarium ante oraculum, non apparebant ultra extrinsecus, qui et fuerunt ibi usque in praesentem diem.
9 There is nothing in the Ark, only the two tablets of stone which Moses put there in Horeb when YHWH covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.
In arca autem non erat aliud nisi duae tabulae lapideae, quas posuerat in ea Moyses in Horeb, quando pepigit Dominus foedus cum filiis Israel, cum egrederentur de Terra Aegypti.
10 And it comes to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud has filled the house of YHWH,
Factum est autem, cum exissent sacerdotes de Sanctuario, nebula implevit domum Domini,
11 and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH.
et non poterant sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter nebulam: impleverat enim gloria Domini domum Domini.
12 Then Solomon said, “YHWH has said [He is] to dwell in thick darkness;
Tunc ait Salomon: Dominus dixit ut habitaret in nebula.
13 I have surely built a house of habitation for You; a fixed place for Your abiding for all ages.”
Aedificans aedificavi domum in habitaculum tuum, firmissimum solium tuum in sempiternum.
14 And the king turns his face around, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.
Convertitque rex faciem suam, et benedixit omni ecclesiae Israel: omnia enim ecclesia Israel stabat.
15 And he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who spoke by His mouth with my father David, and by His hand has fulfilled [it], saying,
Et ait Salomon: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, qui locutus est ore suo ad David patrem meum, et in manibus eius perfecit, dicens:
16 From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My Name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.
A die, qua eduxi populum meum Israel de Aegypto, non elegi civitatem de universis tribubus Israel, ut aedificaretur domus, et esset nomen meum ibi: sed elegi David ut esset super populum meum Israel.
17 And it is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel,
Voluitque David pater meus aedificare domum nomini Domini Dei Israel:
18 and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with your heart;
et ait Dominus ad David patrem meum: Quod cogitasti in corde tuo aedificare domum nomini meo, bene fecisti, hoc ipsum mente tractans.
19 only, you do not build the house, but your son who is coming out from your loins, he builds the house for My Name.
Verumtamen tu non aedificabis mihi domum, sed filius tuus, qui egredietur de renibus tuis, ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo.
20 And YHWH establishes His word which He spoke, and I am risen up instead of my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and build the house for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel,
Confirmavit Dominus sermonem suum, quem locutus est: stetique pro David patre meo, et sedi super thronum Israel, sicut locutus est Dominus: et aedificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israel.
21 and I set a place for the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is], which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from the land of Egypt.”
Et constitui ibi locum arcae, in qua foedus Domini est, quod percussit cum patribus nostris, quando egressi sunt de Terra Aegypti.
22 And Solomon stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads his hands toward the heavens,
Stetit autem Salomon ante altare Domini in conspectu ecclesiae Israel, et expandit manus suas in caelum,
23 and says, “YHWH, God of Israel, there is not a God like You, in the heavens above and on the earth below, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants, those walking before You with all their heart,
et ait: Domine Deus Israel, non est similis tui Deus in caelo desuper, et super terram deorsum: qui custodis pactum et misericordiam servis tuis, qui ambulant coram te in toto corde suo.
24 which You have kept for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], as [at] this day.
Qui custodisti servo tuo David patri meo quae locutus es ei: ore locutus es, et manibus perfecisti, ut haec dies probat.
25 And now, YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way, to walk before Me as you have walked before Me.
Nunc igitur Domine Deus Israel, conserva famulo tuo David patri meo quae locutus es ei, dicens: Non auferetur de te vir coram me, qui sedeat super thronum Israel: ita tamen si custodierint filii tui viam suam, ut ambulent coram me sicut tu ambulasti in conspectu meo.
26 And now, O God of Israel, please let Your word be established which You have spoken to Your servant, my father David.
Et nunc Domine Deus Israel firmentur verba tua, quae locutus es servo tuo David patri meo.
27 But is it true [that] God dwells on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!
Ergone putandum est quod vere Deus habitet super terram? si enim caelum, et caeli caelorum te capere non possunt, quanto magis domus haec, quam aedificavi?
28 Then You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today,
Sed respice ad orationem servi tui, et ad preces eius Domine Deus meus: audi hymnum et orationem, quam servus tuus orat coram te hodie:
29 for Your eyes being open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, My Name is there; to listen to the prayer which Your servant prays toward this place.
ut sint oculi tui aperti super domum hanc nocte ac die: super domum, de qua dixisti: Erit nomen meum ibi: ut exaudias orationem, quam orat in loco isto ad te servus tuus.
30 Then You have listened to the supplication of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, which they pray toward this place; indeed, You listen in the place of Your dwelling, in the heavens—and You have listened, and have forgiven,
Ut exaudias deprecationem servi tui et populi tui Israel, quodcumque oraverint in loco isto, et exaudies in loco habitaculi tui in caelo, et cum exaudieris, propitius eris.
31 that which a man sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in before Your altar in this house,
Si peccaverit homo in proximum suum, et habuerit aliquod iuramentum, quo teneatur astrictus; et venerit propter iuramentum coram altari tuo in domum tuam,
32 then You hear in the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his [own] head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
tu exaudies in caelo: et facies, et iudicabis servos tuos, condemnans impium, et reddens viam suam super caput eius, iustificansque iustum, et retribuens ei secundum iustitiam suam.
33 In Your people Israel being struck before an enemy, because they sin against You, and they have turned back to You, and have confessed Your Name, and prayed, and made supplication to You in this house,
Si fugerit populus tuus Israel inimicos suos (quia peccaturus est tibi) et agentes poenitentiam, et confitentes nomini tuo, venerint, et oraverint, et deprecati te fuerint in domo hac;
34 then you hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and brought them back to the ground that You gave to their fathers.
exaudi in caelo, et dimitte peccatum populi tui Israel, et reduces eos in terram, quam dedisti patribus eorum.
35 In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place, and confessed Your Name, and turn back from their sin, for You afflict them,
Si clausum fuerit caelum, et non pluerit propter peccata eorum, et orantes in loco isto, poenitentiam egerint nomini tuo, et a peccatis suis conversi fuerint propter afflictionem suam:
36 then You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, for You direct them [to] the good way in which they go, and have given rain on Your land which You have given to Your people for inheritance.
exaudi eos in caelo, et dimitte peccata servorum tuorum, et populi tui Israel: et ostende eis viam bonam per quam ambulent, et da pluviam super terram tuam, quam dedisti populo tuo in possessionem.
37 Famine—when it is in the land; pestilence—when it is [in the land]; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar—when it is [in the land]; when its enemy has distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any plague, any sickness—
Fames si oborta fuerit in terra, aut pestilentia, aut corruptus aer, aut aerugo, aut locusta, vel rubigo, et afflixerit eum inimicus eius portas obsidens, omnis plaga, universa infirmitas,
38 any prayer, any supplication that [is] of any man of all Your people Israel, each who knows the plague of his own heart, and has spread his hands toward this house,
cuncta devotatio, et imprecatio, quae acciderit omni homini de populo tuo Israel: si quis cognoverit plagam cordis sui, et expanderit manus suas in domo hac,
39 then You hear in the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have done, and have given to each according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You have known—You alone—the heart of all the sons of man),
tu exaudies in caelo in loco habitationis tuae, et repropitiaberis, et facies ut des unicuique secundum omnes vias suas, sicut videris cor eius (quia tu nosti solus cor omnium filiorum hominum)
40 so that they fear You all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given to our fathers.
ut timeant te cunctis diebus, quibus vivunt super faciem terrae, quam dedisti patribus nostris.
41 And also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and has come from a far-off land for Your Name’s sake—
Insuper et alienigena, qui non est de populo tuo Israel, cum venerit de terra longinqua propter nomen tuum (audietur enim nomen tuum magnum, et manus tua fortis, et brachium tuum
42 for they hear of Your great Name, and of Your strong hand, and of Your outstretched arm—and he has come in and prayed toward this house,
extentum ubique) cum venerit ergo, et oraverit in hoc loco,
43 You hear in the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your Name, to fear You like Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name has been called on this house which I have built.
tu exaudies in caelo, in firmamento habitaculi tui et facies omnia, pro quibus invocaverit te alienigena: ut discant universi populi terrarum nomen tuum timere, sicut populus tuus Israel, et probent quia nomen tuum invocatum est super domum hanc, quam aedificavi.
44 When Your people go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to YHWH [in] the way of the city which you have fixed on, and of the house which I have built for Your Name,
Si egressus fuerit populus tuus ad bellum contra inimicos suos, per viam, quocumque miseris eos, orabunt te contra viam civitatis, quam elegisti, et contra domum, quam aedificavi nomini tuo,
45 then You have heard their prayer and their supplication in the heavens, and have maintained their cause.
et exaudies in caelo orationes eorum, et preces eorum, et facies iudicium eorum.
46 When they sin against You (for there is not a man who does not sin), and You have been angry with them, and have given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity to the land of the enemy far off or near;
Quod si peccaverint tibi (non est enim homo qui non peccet) et iratus tradideris eos inimicis suis, et captivi ducti fuerint in terram inimicorum longe vel prope,
47 and they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication to You in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely—we have done wickedly;
et egerint poenitentiam in corde suo in loco captivitatis, et conversi deprecati te fuerint in captivitate sua, dicentes: Peccavimus, inique egimus, impie gessimus:
48 indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed to You [in] the way of their land, which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your Name:
et reversi fuerint ad te in universo corde suo, et tota anima sua in terra inimicorum suorum, ad quam captivi ducti fuerint: et oraverint te contra viam terrae suae, quam dedisti patribus eorum, et civitatis quam elegisti, et templi quod aedificavi nomini tuo:
49 then You have heard in the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and have maintained their cause,
exaudies in caelo, in firmamento solii tui orationes eorum, et preces eorum, et facies iudicium eorum:
50 and have forgiven Your people who have sinned against You, even all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You, and have given them mercies before their captors, and they have had mercy [on] them—
et propitiaberis populo tuo qui peccavit tibi, et omnibus iniquitatibus eorum, quibus praevaricati sunt in te: et dabis misericordiam coram eis, qui eos captivos habuerint, ut misereantur eis.
51 for they [are] Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron—
Populus enim tuus est, et hereditas tua, quos eduxisti de Terra Aegypti, de medio fornacis ferreae.
52 for Your eyes being open to the supplication of Your servant, and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them in all they call to You for;
Ut sint oculi tui aperti ad deprecationem servi tui, et populi tui Israel, et exaudias eos in universis pro quibus invocaverint te.
53 for You have separated them to Yourself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke by the hand of Your servant Moses, in Your bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord YHWH.”
Tu enim separasti eos tibi in hereditatem de universis populis terrae, sicut locutus es per Moysen servum tuum, quando eduxisti patres nostros de Aegypto Domine Deus.
54 And it comes to pass, at Solomon’s finishing to pray to YHWH all this prayer and supplication, he has risen from before the altar of YHWH, from bending on his knees and [having] his hands spread out to the heavens,
Factum est autem, cum complesset Salomon orans Dominum omnem orationem, et deprecationem hanc, surrexit de conspectu altaris Domini: utrumque enim genu in terram fixerat, et manus expanderat in caelum.
55 and he stands and blesses all the assembly of Israel [with] a loud voice, saying,
Stetit ergo, et benedixit omni ecclesiae Israel voce magna, dicens:
56 “Blessed [is] YHWH who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He has spoken; not [even] one word has fallen of all His good word, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Moses.
Benedictus Dominus, qui dedit requiem populo suo Israel, iuxta omnia quae locutus est: non cecidit ne unus quidem sermo ex omnibus bonis, quae locutus est per Moysen servum suum.
57 Our God YHWH is with us as He has been with our fathers; He does not forsake us nor leave us;
Sit Dominus Deus noster nobiscum, sicut fuit cum patribus nostris, non derelinquens nos, neque proiiciens.
58 to incline our heart to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers;
Sed inclinet corda nostra ad se, ut ambulemus in universis viis eius, et custodiamus mandata eius, et ceremonias eius, et iudicia quaecumque mandavit patribus nostris.
59 and these, my words, with which I have made supplication before YHWH, are near to our God YHWH by day and by night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day,
Et sint sermones mei isti, quibus deprecatus sum coram Domino, appropinquantes Domino Deo nostro die ac nocte, ut faciat iudicium servo suo, et populo suo Israel per singulos dies:
60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that He, YHWH, [is] God; there is none else;
et sciant omnes populi terrae, quia Dominus ipse est Deus, et non est ultra absque eo.
61 and your heart has been perfect with our God YHWH, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, as [at] this day.”
Sit quoque cor nostrum perfectum cum Domino Deo nostro, ut ambulemus in decretis eius, et custodiamus mandata eius, sicut et hodie.
62 And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before YHWH;
Igitur rex, et omnis Israel cum eo, immolabant victimas coram Domino.
63 and Solomon sacrifices the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he has sacrificed to YHWH: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of YHWH.
Mactavitque Salomon hostias pacificas, quas immolavit Domino, boum viginti duo millia, et ovium centum viginti millia: et dedicaverunt templum Domini rex, et filii Israel.
64 On that day the king has sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of YHWH, for he has made the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings there; for the altar of bronze that [is] before YHWH [is] too small to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings.
In die illa sanctificavit rex medium atrii, quod erat ante domum Domini: fecit quippe holocaustum ibi, et sacrificium, et adipem pacificorum: quoniam altare aereum, quod erat coram Domino, minus erat, et capere non poterat holocaustum, et sacrificium, et adipem pacificorum.
65 And Solomon makes, at that time, the festival—and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt—before our God YHWH, [for] seven days and seven [more] days—fourteen days.
Fecit ergo Salomon in tempore illo festivitatem celebrem, et omnis Israel cum eo, multitudo magna ab introitu Emath usque ad Rivum Aegypti, coram Domino Deo nostro, septem diebus et septem diebus, id est, quattuordecim diebus.
66 On the eighth day he has sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that YHWH has done to His servant David, and to His people Israel.
Et in die octava dimisit populos: qui benedicentes regi, profecti sunt in tabernacula sua laetantes, et alacri corde super omnibus bonis, quae fecerat Dominus David servo suo, et Israel populo suo.
