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 comes to pass, at Solomon’s finishing to build the house of YHWH, and the house of the king, and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,

2 apparuit ei Dominus secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.

that YHWH appears to Solomon a second time, as He appeared to him in Gibeon,

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 YHWH says to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication with which you have made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that you have built to put My Name there for all time, and My eyes and My heart have been there [for] all the days.

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 you—if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, [and] you keep My statutes and My judgments,

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 I have established the throne of your kingdom over Israel for all time, as I spoke to your father David, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from [being] on the throne of 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:

If you at all turn back—you and your sons—from after Me, and do not keep My commands [and] My statutes that I have set before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to 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 I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My Name I send away from My presence, and Israel has been for an allegory and for a byword among all the peoples;

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?

as for this house [that] is high, everyone passing by it is astonished, and has hissed, and they have said, Why has YHWH done this 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 they have said, Because that they have forsaken their God YHWH, who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them and serve them; therefore YHWH has brought all this calamity on them.”

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

And it comes to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon has built the two houses, the house of YHWH, 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.

Hiram king of Tyre has assisted Solomon with cedar-trees, and with fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire; then King Solomon gives to Hiram 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,

And Hiram comes out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon has given to him, and they have not been right in his eyes,

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

and he says, “What [are] these cities that you have given to me, my brother?” And one calls them the land of Cabul to this day.

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

And Hiram sends one hundred and twenty talents of gold to the king.

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.

And this [is] the matter of the tribute that King Solomon has lifted up, to build the house of YHWH, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer

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.

(Pharaoh king of Egypt has gone up and captures Gezer, and burns it with fire, and he has slain the Canaanite who is dwelling in the city, and gives it [as] presents to his daughter, wife of Solomon).

17 Ædificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,

And Solomon builds Gezer, and the lower Beth-Horon,

18 et Balaath, et Palmiram in terra solitudinis.

and Ba‘alath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

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.

and all the cities of stores that King Solomon has, and the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

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

The whole of the people that is left of the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who [are] not of the sons of Israel—

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

their sons who are left behind them in the land, whom the sons of Israel have not been able to devote—he has even lifted up a tribute of service [on] them to this day.

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.

And Solomon has not appointed a servant out of the sons of Israel, for they [are] the men of war, and his servants, and his heads, and his captains, and the heads of his chariots, and his horsemen.

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

These [are] the five hundred and fifty heads of the officers who [are] over the work of Solomon, those ruling among the people who are laboring in the work.

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

Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the City of David to her house that [Solomon] built for her; then he built Millo.

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.

And Solomon caused burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend three times in a year on the altar that he built for YHWH, and he burned it as incense with that which [is] before YHWH, and finished the house.

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

And King Solomon has made a navy in Ezion-Geber, that is beside Eloth, on the edge of the Sea of Suph, in the land of Edom.

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

And Hiram sends his servants in the navy, shipmen knowing the sea, with servants of Solomon,

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

and they come to Ophir, and take four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and bring [it] to King Solomon.
