1 Kings 8
1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [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 assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month.
Convenitque ad regem Salomonem universus Israel in mense Bethanim, in sollemni die, ipse est mensis septimus.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
Veneruntque cuncti senes de Israel, et tulerunt arcam sacerdotes,
4 And they brought the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring.
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, that were assembled to him, [were] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told 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 brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy [place], [even] under 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 spread forth [their] two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staffs thereof above.
Siquidem cherubim expandebant alas super locum arcae, et protegebant arcam, et vectes eius desuper.
8 And they drew out the staffs, that the ends of the staffs were seen out in the holy [place] before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are 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 was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses deposited there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came 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 came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy [place], that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
Factum est autem, cum exissent sacerdotes de Sanctuario, nebula implevit domum Domini,
11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
et non poterant sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter nebulam: impleverat enim gloria Domini domum Domini.
12 Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Tunc ait Salomon: Dominus dixit ut habitaret in nebula.
13 I have surely built thee a house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
Aedificans aedificavi domum in habitaculum tuum, firmissimum solium tuum in sempiternum.
14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel were standing.
Convertitque rex faciem suam, et benedixit omni ecclesiae Israel: omnia enim ecclesia Israel stabat.
15 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and hath with his hand 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 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel from Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; but I chose 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 was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
Voluitque David pater meus aedificare domum nomini Domini Dei Israel:
18 And the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart.
et ait Dominus ad David patrem meum: Quod cogitasti in corde tuo aedificare domum nomini meo, bene fecisti, hoc ipsum mente tractans.
19 Nevertheless, thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house to my name.
Verumtamen tu non aedificabis mihi domum, sed filius tuus, qui egredietur de renibus tuis, ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo.
20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spoke, and I have risen in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built a house for the name of the LORD 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 have set there a place for the ark, in which [is] the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them 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 stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards Heaven:
Stetit autem Salomon ante altare Domini in conspectu ecclesiae Israel, et expandit manus suas in caelum,
23 And he said, LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee 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 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: thou didst speak also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as [it is] this day.
Qui custodisti servo tuo David patri meo quae locutus es ei: ore locutus es, et manibus perfecisti, ut haec dies probat.
25 Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast 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, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou didst speak to thy servant David my father.
Et nunc Domine Deus Israel firmentur verba tua, quae locutus es servo tuo David patri meo.
27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that 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 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:
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 That thy eyes may be open towards this house night and day, [even] towards the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall make towards 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 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray towards this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
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 If any man shall trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy 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 hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying 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 When thy people Israel shall be smitten before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication to thee 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 hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.
exaudi in caelo, et dimitte peccatum populi tui Israel, et reduces eos in terram, quam dedisti patribus eorum.
35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray towards this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest 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 hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou mayest teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an 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 If there shall be in the land famine, if there shall be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, [or] if there shall be caterpillar; if their enemy shall besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness [there shall be];
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 Whatever prayer and supplication shall be [made] by any man, [or] by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands towards 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 hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, [even] thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men; )
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 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.
ut timeant te cunctis diebus, quibus vivunt super faciem terrae, quam dedisti patribus nostris.
41 Moreover, concerning a stranger, that [is] not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy 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 shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy out-stretched arm; ) when he shall come and pray towards this house;
extentum ubique) cum venerit ergo, et oraverit in hoc loco,
43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
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 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray to the LORD towards the city which thou hast chosen, and [towards] the house that I have built for thy 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 hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
et exaudies in caelo orationes eorum, et preces eorum, et facies iudicium eorum.
46 If they shall sin against thee, (for [there is] no man that sinneth not, ) and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far 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 [Yet] if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent and make supplication to thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
et egerint poenitentiam in corde suo in loco captivitatis, et conversi deprecati te fuerint in captivitate sua, dicentes: Peccavimus, inique egimus, impie gessimus:
48 And [so] return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive, and pray to thee towards their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy 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 hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their cause,
exaudies in caelo, in firmamento solii tui orationes eorum, et preces eorum, et facies iudicium eorum:
50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion 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] thy people, and thy inheritance, which thou broughtest out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
Populus enim tuus est, et hereditas tua, quos eduxisti de Terra Aegypti, de medio fornacis ferreae.
52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them in all their supplications to thee.
Ut sint oculi tui aperti ad deprecationem servi tui, et populi tui Israel, et exaudias eos in universis pro quibus invocaverint te.
53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, [to be] thy inheritance, as thou didst speak by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.
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 was [so], that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees, with his hands spread up to heaven.
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 stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
Stetit ergo, et benedixit omni ecclesiae Israel voce magna, dicens:
56 Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
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 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
Sit Dominus Deus noster nobiscum, sicut fuit cum patribus nostris, non derelinquens nos, neque proiiciens.
58 That he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, 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 let these my words with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
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 people of the earth may know, that the LORD [is] God, [and that there is] none else.
et sciant omnes populi terrae, quia Dominus ipse est Deus, et non est ultra absque eo.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, 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, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
Igitur rex, et omnis Israel cum eo, immolabant victimas coram Domino.
63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
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 The same day did the king consecrate the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: because the brazen altar that [was] before the LORD [was] too little to receive the burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, 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 at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance into Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, [even] 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 sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
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.
