2 Chronicles 2
1 And Solomon says to build a house for the Name of YHWH, and a house for his kingdom,
Decrevit autem Salomon ædificare domum nomini Domini, et palatium sibi.
2 and Solomon numbers seventy thousand men bearing burden, and eighty thousand men hewing in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers over them.
Et numeravit septuaginta millia virorum portantium humeris, et octoginta millia qui cæderent lapides in montibus, præpositosque eorum tria millia sexcentos.
3 And Solomon sends to Huram king of Tyre, saying, “When you have dealt with my father David, then you send cedars to him to build a house for him to dwell in;
Misit quoque ad Hiram regem Tyri, dicens: Sicut egisti cum David patre meo, et misisti ei ligna cedrina ut ædificaret sibi domum, in qua et habitavit:
4 behold, I am building a house for the Name of my God YHWH, to sanctify [it] to Him, to make incense before Him, incense of spices, and a continual arrangement, and burnt-offerings at morning and at evening, at Sabbaths, and at new moons, and at appointed times of our God YHWH; this [is] on Israel for all time.
sic fac mecum ut ædificem domum nomini Domini Dei mei, ut consecrem eam ad adolendum incensum coram illo, et fumiganda aromata, et ad propositionem panum sempiternam, et ad holocautomata mane, et vespere, sabbatis quoque, et neomeniis, et sollemnitatibus Domini Dei nostri in sempiternum, quæ mandata sunt Israeli.
5 And the house that I am building [is] great, for our God [is] greater than all gods;
Domus enim, quam ædificare cupio, magna est: magnus est enim Deus noster super omnes deos.
6 and who retains strength to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Him? And who [am] I that I build a house for Him, except to make incense before Him?
Quis ergo poterit prævalere, ut ædificet ei dignam domum? si cælum, et cæli cælorum capere eum nequeunt: quantus ego sum, ut possim ædificare ei domum? sed ad hoc tantum, ut adoleatur incensum coram illo.
7 And now, send a wise man to me to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and knowing to engrave engravings with the wise men who [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David prepared;
Mitte ergo mihi virum eruditum, qui noverit operari in auro, et argento, ære, et ferro, purpura, coccino, et hyacintho, et qui sciat sculpere cælaturas cum his artificibus, quos mecum habeo in Iudæa, et Ierusalem, quos præparavit David pater meus.
8 and send to me cedar-trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon, for I have known that your servants know to cut down trees of Lebanon, and behold, my servants [are] with your servants,
Sed et ligna cedrina mitte mihi, et arceuthina, et pinea de Libano: scio enim quod servi tui noverint cædere ligna de Libano, et erunt servi mei cum servis tuis,
9 even to prepare trees in abundance for me, for the house that I am building [is] great and wonderful.
ut parentur mihi ligna plurima. Domus enim, quam cupio ædificare, magna est nimis, et inclyta.
10 And behold, I have given to your servants, to hewers, to those cutting the trees, twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand cors of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
Præterea operariis, qui cæsuri sunt ligna, servis tuis dabo in cibaria tritici coros viginti millia, et hordei coros totidem, et vini viginti millia metretas, olei quoque sata viginti millia.
11 And Huram king of Tyre answers in writing, and sends [it] to Solomon: “In the love of YHWH for His people, He has set you [as] king over them.”
Dixit autem Hiram rex Tyri per litteras, quas miserat Salomoni: Quia dilexit Dominus populum suum, idcirco te regnare fecit super eum.
12 And Huram says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, who has given a wise son to David the king, knowing wisdom and understanding, who builds a house for YHWH, and a house for his kingdom.
Et addidit, dicens: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, qui fecit cælum et terram, qui dedit David regi filium sapientem et eruditum et sensatum atque prudentem, ut ædificaret domum Domino, et palatium sibi.
13 And now, I have sent a wise man having understanding, of [my] father Huram
Misi ergo tibi virum prudentem et scientissimum Hiram, patrem meum,
14 (son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre), knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to engrave any engraving, and to devise any invention that is given to him, with your wise men, and the wise men of my lord, your father David.
filium mulieris de filiabus Dan, cuius pater fuit Tyrius, qui novit operari in auro, et argento, ære, et ferro, et marmore, et lignis, in purpura quoque, et hyacintho, et bysso, et coccino: et qui scit cælare omnem sculpturam, et adinvenire prudenter quodcumque in opere necessarium est cum artificibus tuis, et cum artificibus domini mei David patris tui.
15 And now, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, as my lord said, let him send to his servants,
Triticum ergo, et hordeum, et oleum, et vinum, quæ pollicitus es domine mi, mitte servis tuis.
16 and we cut trees out of Lebanon, according to all your need, and bring them to you—floats by sea, to Joppa, and you take them up to Jerusalem.”
Nos autem cædemus ligna de Libano, quot necessaria habueris, et applicabimus ea ratibus per mare in Ioppe: tuum autem erit transferre ea in Ierusalem.
17 And Solomon numbers all the men, the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which his father David numbered them, and they are found [to be] one hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred;
Numeravit igitur Salomon omnes viros proselytos, qui erant in terra Israel, post dinumerationem, quam dinumeravit David pater eius, et inventi sunt centum quinquaginta millia, et tria millia sexcenti.
18 and he makes from them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers, to cause the people to work.
Fecitque ex eis septuaginta millia, qui humeris onera portarent, et octoginta millia, qui lapides in montibus cæderent: tria autem millia et sexcentos præpositos operum populi.
