1 Kings 8
1 Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto king Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah 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 fœderis Domini, de civitate David, id est, de Sion.
2 and all the men of Israel are assembled unto king Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival — [is] the seventh month.
Convenitque ad regem Salomonem universus Israel in mense Ethanim, in solemni die, ipse est mensis septimus.
3 And all the elders 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 Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, yea, the priests and the Levites bring them up.
et portaverunt arcam Domini, et tabernaculum fœderis, et omnia vasa Sanctuarii, quæ erant in tabernaculo: et ferebant ea sacerdotes et Levitæ.
5 And king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are met unto 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, quæ convenerat ad eum, gradiebatur cum illo ante arcam, et immolabant oves et boves absque æstimatione et numero.
6 And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;
Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, in oraculum templi, in Sanctum sanctorum subter alas cherubim.
7 for the cherubs are spreading forth two wings unto the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves from above;
Siquidem cherubim expandebant alas super locum arcæ, et protegebant arcam, et vectes eius desuper.
8 and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen without, and they are there unto this day.
Cumque eminerent vectes, et apparerent summitates eorum foris Sanctuarium ante oraculum, non apparebant ultra extrinsecus, qui et fuerunt ibi usque in præsentem diem.
9 There is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.
In arca autem non erat aliud nisi duæ tabulæ lapideæ, quas posuerat in ea Moyses in Horeb, quando pepigit Dominus fœdus cum filiis Israel, cum egrederentur de Terra Ægypti.
10 And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,
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 honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.
et non poterant sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter nebulam: impleverat enim gloria Domini domum Domini.
12 Then said Solomon, 'Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;
Tunc ait Salomon: Dominus dixit ut habitaret in nebula.
13 I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.'
Ædificans ædificavi domum in habitaculum tuum, firmissimum solium tuum in sempiternum.
14 And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.
Convertitque rex faciem suam, et benedixit omni ecclesiæ Israel: omnia enim ecclesia Israel stabat.
15 And he saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath 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 Ægypto, non elegi civitatem de universis tribubus Israel, ut ædificaretur domus, et esset nomen meum ibi: sed elegi David ut esset super populum meum Israel.
17 'And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,
Voluitque David pater meus ædificare domum nomini Domini Dei Israel:
18 and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;
et ait Dominus ad David patrem meum: Quod cogitasti in corde tuo ædificare domum nomini meo, bene fecisti, hoc ipsum mente tractans.
19 only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name.
Verumtamen tu non ædificabis mihi domum, sed filius tuus, qui egredietur de renibus tuis, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo.
20 'And Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, 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 ædificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israel.
21 and set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from the land of Egypt.'
Et constitui ibi locum arcæ, in qua fœdus Domini est, quod percussit cum patribus nostris, quando egressi sunt de Terra Ægypti.
22 And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his hands towards the heavens,
Stetit autem Salomon ante altare Domini in conspectu ecclesiæ Israel, et expandit manus suas in cælum,
23 and saith, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee with all their heart,
et ait: Domine Deus Israel, non est similis tui Deus in cælo desuper, et super terram deorsum: qui custodis pactum et misericordiam servis tuis, qui ambulant coram te in toto corde suo.
24 who hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him; yea, Thou speakest with Thy mouth, and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as [at] this day.
Qui custodisti servo tuo David patri meo quæ locutus es ei: ore locutus es, et manibus perfecisti, ut hæc dies probat.
25 'And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel — only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.
Nunc igitur Domine Deus Israel, conserva famulo tuo David patri meo quæ 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 it be established, I pray Thee, Thy word which Thou hast spoken to Thy servant, David my father.
Et nunc Domine Deus Israel firmentur verba tua, quæ locutus es servo tuo David patri meo.
27 But, is it true? — God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!
Ergone putandum est quod vere Deus habitet super terram? si enim cælum, et cæli cælorum te capere non possunt, quanto magis domus hæc, quam ædificavi?
28 'Then thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer which Thy servant is praying before Thee to-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 for Thine eyes being open towards this house night and day, towards the place of which Thou hast said, My Name is there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth 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 'Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in the heavens — and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven,
Ut exaudias deprecationem servi tui et populi tui Israel, quodcumque oraverint in loco isto, et exaudies in loco habitaculi tui in cælo, et cum exaudieris, propitius eris.
31 that which a man sinneth against his neighbour, and he hath lifted up upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath come in before Thine 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 Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
tu exaudies in cælo: 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 Thy people Israel being smitten before an enemy, because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back unto Thee, and have confessed Thy name, and prayed, and made supplication unto Thee in this house,
Si fugerit populus tuus Israel inimicos suos (quia peccaturus est tibi) et agentes pœnitentiam, et confitentes nomini tuo, venerint, et oraverint, et deprecati te fuerint in domo hac;
34 then thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy people Israel, and brought them back unto the ground that Thou gavest to their fathers.
exaudi in cælo, 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 Thee, and they have prayed towards this place, and confessed Thy name, and from their sin turn back, for Thou dost afflict them,
Si clausum fuerit cælum, et non pluerit propter peccata eorum, et orantes in loco isto, pœnitentiam egerint nomini tuo, et a peccatis suis conversi fuerint propter afflictionem suam:
36 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for inheritance.
exaudi eos in cælo, 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; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar — when it is; when its enemy hath distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any plague, any sickness, —
Fames si oborta fuerit in terra, aut pestilentia, aut corruptus aer, aut ærugo, 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 Thy people Israel, who know each the plague of his own heart, and hath spread his hands towards this house,
cuncta devotatio, et imprecatio, quæ acciderit omni homini de populo tuo Israel: si quis cognoverit plagam cordis sui, et expanderit manus suas in domo hac,
39 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast done, and hast given to each according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest, (for Thou hast known — Thyself alone — the heart of all the sons of man),
tu exaudies in cælo in loco habitationis tuæ, 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 Thee all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast given to our fathers.
ut timeant te cunctis diebus, quibus vivunt super faciem terræ, quam dedisti patribus nostris.
41 'And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off 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 hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) — and he hath come in and prayed towards this house,
extentum ubique) cum venerit ergo, et oraverit in hoc loco,
43 Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.
tu exaudies in cælo, 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 ædificavi.
44 'When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of the house which I have builded 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 ædificavi nomini tuo,
45 then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause.
et exaudies in cælo orationes eorum, et preces eorum, et facies iudicium eorum.
46 'When they sin against Thee (for there is not a man who sinneth not), and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity unto 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 unto their heart in the land whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication unto Thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely — we have done wickedly;
et egerint pœnitentiam in corde suo in loco captivitatis, et conversi deprecati te fuerint in captivitate sua, dicentes: Peccavimus, inique egimus, impie gessimus:
48 yea, they have turned back unto Thee, with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed unto Thee the way of their land, which Thou gavest to their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have builded 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 terræ suæ, quam dedisti patribus eorum, et civitatis quam elegisti, et templi quod ædificavi nomini tuo:
49 'Then Thou hast heard in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause,
exaudies in cælo, in firmamento solii tui orationes eorum, et preces eorum, et facies iudicium eorum:
50 and hast forgiven Thy people who have sinned against Thee, even all their transgressions which they have transgressed against Thee, and hast 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 prævaricati sunt in te: et dabis misericordiam coram eis, qui eos captivos habuerint, ut misereantur eis.
51 (for Thy people and Thy inheritance [are] they, whom Thou didst bring out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron) —
Populus enim tuus est, et hereditas tua, quos eduxisti de Terra Ægypti, de medio fornacis ferreæ.
52 for Thine eyes being open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee 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 Thou hast separated them to Thyself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as Thou didst speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, in Thy bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.'
Tu enim separasti eos tibi in hereditatem de universis populis terræ, sicut locutus es per Moysen servum tuum, quando eduxisti patres nostros de Ægypto Domine Deus.
54 And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to pray unto Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and 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 cælum.
55 and he standeth and blesseth all the assembly of Israel [with] a loud voice, saying,
Stetit ergo, et benedixit omni ecclesiæ Israel voce magna, dicens:
56 'Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the hand of Moses his servant.
Benedictus Dominus, qui dedit requiem populo suo Israel, iuxta omnia quæ locutus est: non cecidit ne unus quidem sermo ex omnibus bonis, quæ locutus est per Moysen servum suum.
57 'Jehovah our God is with us as He hath been with our fathers; He doth 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 unto 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 quæcumque mandavit patribus nostris.
59 and these my words with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, are near unto Jehovah our God 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 for all the peoples of the earth knowing that Jehovah, He [is] God; there is none else;
ut sciant omnes populi terræ, quia Dominus ipse est Deus, et non est ultra absque eo.
61 and your heart hath been perfect with Jehovah our God, 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 Jehovah;
Igitur rex, et omnis Israel cum eo, immolabant victimas coram Domino.
63 and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah.
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 hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah [is] too little 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 æreum, quod erat coram Domino, minus erat, et capere non poterat holocaustum, et sacrificium, et adipem pacificorum.
65 And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival — and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt — before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; fourteen days.
Fecit ergo Salomon in tempore illo festivitatem celebrem, et omnis Israel cum eo, multitudo magna ab introitu Emath usque ad Rivum Ægypti, coram Domino Deo nostro, septem diebus et septem diebus, id est, quattuordecim diebus.
66 On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
Et in die octava dimisit populos: qui benedicentes regi, profecti sunt in tabernacula sua lætantes, et alacri corde super omnibus bonis, quæ fecerat Dominus David servo suo, et Israel populo suo.
