I Regum 9

1 Factum est autem cum perfecisset Salomon ædificium domus Domini, et ædificium regis, et omne quod optaverat et voluerat facere,

And it came to pass when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the work of Solomon, whatever he wished to perform,

2 apparuit ei Dominus secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.

that the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he appeared in Gabaon.

3 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam, quam deprecatus es coram me: sanctificavi domum hanc, quam ædificasti, ut ponerem nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et erunt oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.

And the Lord said to him, I have heard the voice of thy prayer, and thy supplication which thou madest before me: I have done for thee according to all thy prayer: I have hallowed this house which thou hast built to put my name there for ever, and mine eyes and my heart shall be there always.

4 Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me, sicut ambulavit pater tuus, in simplicitate cordis, et in æquitate: et feceris omnia, quæ præcepit tibi, et legitima mea et iudicia mea servaveris,

And if thou wilt walk before me as David thy father walked, in holiness of heart and uprightness, and so as to do according to all that I commanded him, and shalt keep my ordinances and my commandments:

5 ponam thronum regni tui super Israel in sempiternum, sicut locutus sum David patri tuo, dicens: Non auferetur vir de genere tuo de solio Israel.

then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom in Israel for ever, as I spoke to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to rule in Israel.

6 Si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri, non sequentes me, nec custodientes mandata mea, et ceremonias meas, quas proposui vobis, sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos, et adoraveritis eos:

But if ye or your children do in any wise revolt from me, and do not keep my commandments and my ordinances, which Moses set before you, and ye go and serve other gods, and worship them:

7 auferam Israel de superficie terræ, quam dedi eis: et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo, proiiciam a conspectu meo, eritque Israel in proverbium, et in fabulam cunctis populis.

then will I cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a desolation and a by-word to all nations.

8 Et domus hæc erit in exemplum: omnis, qui transierit per eam, stupebit, et sibilabit, et dicet: Quare fecit Dominus sic terræ huic, et domui huic?

And this house, which is high, shall be [so that] every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Wherefore has the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

9 Et respondebunt: Quia derelinquerunt Dominum Deum suum, qui eduxit patres eorum de Terra Ægypti, et secuti sunt deos alienos, et adoraverunt eos, et coluerunt eos: idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc.

And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought out their fathers from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and they attached themselves to strange gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore the Lord has brought this evil upon them. Then Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao out of the city of David into his house which he built for himself in those days.

10 Expletis autem annis viginti postquam ædificaverat Salomon duas domos, id est, domum Domini, et domum regis,

[During] twenty years in which Solomon was building the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,

11 (Hiram rege Tyri præbente Salomoni ligna cedrina et abiegna, et aurum iuxta omne quod opus habuerat) tunc dedit Salomon Hiram viginti oppida in Terra Galilææ.

Chiram king of Tyre helped Solomon with cedar wood, and fir wood, and with gold, and all that he wished for: then the king gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 Et egressus est Hiram de Tyro, ut videret oppida, quæ dederat ei Salomon, et non placuerunt ei,

So Chiram departed from Tyre, and went into Galilee to see the cities which Solomon gave to him; and they pleased him not. And he said,

13 et ait: Hæcine sunt civitates, quas dedisti mihi, frater? Et appellavit eas terram Chabul, usque in diem hanc.

What [are] these cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them Boundary until this day.

14 Misit quoque Hiram ad regem Salomonem centum viginti talenta auri.

And Chiram brought to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold,

15 Hæc est summa expensarum, quam obtulit rex Salomon ad ædificandam domum Domini et domum suam, et Mello, et murum Ierusalem, et Heser, et Mageddo et Gazer.

16 Pharao rex Ægypti ascendit, et cepit Gazar, succenditque eam igni: et Chananæum, qui habitabat in civitate, interfecit, et dedit eam in dotem filiæ suæ uxori Salomonis.

17 Ædificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,

18 et Balaath, et Palmiram in terra solitudinis.

19 Et omnes vicos, qui ad se pertinebant, et erant absque muro, munivit, et civitates curruum et civitates equitum, et quodcumque ei placuit ut ædificaret in Ierusalem, et in Libano, et in omni terra potestatis suæ.

20 Universum populum, qui remanserat de Amorrhæis, et Hethæis, et Pherezæis, et Hevæis, et Iebusæis, qui non sunt de filiis Israel:

21 horum filios, qui remanserant in terra, quos scilicet non potuerant filii Israel exterminare: fecit Salomon tributarios, usque in diem hanc.

22 De filiis autem Israel non constituit Salomon servire quemquam, sed erant viri bellatores, et ministri eius, et principes, et duces, et præfecti curruum et equorum.

23 Erant autem principes super omnia opera Salomonis præpositi quingenti quinquaginta, qui habebant subiectum populum, et statutis operibus imperabant.

24 Filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam, quam ædificaverat ei Salomon: tunc ædificavit Mello.

25 Offerebat quoque Salomon tribus vicibus per annos singulos holocausta, et pacificas victimas super altare, quod ædificaverat Domino, et adolebat thymiama coram Domino: perfectumque est templum.

26 Classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber, quæ est iuxta Ailath in littore Maris Rubri, in Terra Idumææ.

even that for which king Solomon built a ship in Gasion Gaber near Aelath on the shore of the extremity of the sea in the land of Edom.

27 Misitque Hiram in classe illa servos suos viros nauticos et gnaros maris, cum servis Salomonis.

And Chiram sent in the ship together with the servants of Solomon servants of his own, mariners to row, men acquainted with the sea.

28 Qui cum venissent in Ophir, sumptum inde aurum quadringentorum viginti talentorum, detulerunt ad regem Salomonem.

And they came to Sophira, and took thence a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
