Ii Paralipomenon 2
1 Decrevit autem Salomon ædificare domum nomini Domini, et palatium sibi.
Then Salomon determined to builde an house for the Name of the Lord, and an house for his kingdome.
2 Et numeravit septuaginta millia virorum portantium humeris, et octoginta millia qui cæderent lapides in montibus, præpositosque eorum tria millia sexcentos.
And Salomon tolde out seuentie thousand that bare burdens, and fourescore thousande men to hewe stones in the mountaine, and three thousand and sixe hundreth to ouersee them.
3 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:
And Salomon sent to Huram the king of Tyrus, saying, As thou hast done to Dauid my father, and didst sende him cedar trees to buylde him an house to dwell in, so do to me.
4 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.
Behold, I buylde an house vnto the Name of the Lord my God, to sanctifie it vnto him, and to burne sweete incense before him, and for the continuall shewbread, and for the burnt offrings of the morning and euening, on the Sabbath dayes, and in the new moneths, and in the solemne feastes of the Lord our God: this is a perpetuall thing for Israel.
5 Domus enim, quam ædificare cupio, magna est: magnus est enim Deus noster super omnes deos.
And the house which I buylde, is great: for great is our God aboue all gods.
6 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.
Who is he then that can be able to buylde him an house, when the heauen, and the heauen of heauens can not conteine him? who am I then that I should buylde him an house? but I do it to burne incense before him.
7 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.
Sende me nowe therefore a cunning man that can worke in golde, in siluer, and in brasse, and in yron, and in purple, and crimosin and blue silke, and that can graue in grauen worke with the cunning men that are with me in Iudah and in Ierusalem, whom Dauid my father hath prepared.
8 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,
Sende mee also cedar trees, firre trees and Algummim trees from Lebanon: for I knowe that thy seruants can skill to hewe timber in Lebanon: and beholde, my seruantes shalbe with thine,
9 ut parentur mihi ligna plurima. Domus enim, quam cupio ædificare, magna est nimis, et inclyta.
That they may prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I doe buylde, is great and wonderfull.
10 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.
And behold, I will giue to thy seruants the cutters and the hewers of timber twentie thousand measures of beaten wheate, and twentie thousand measures of barley, and twentie thousand baths of wine, and twentie thousand baths of oyle.
11 Dixit autem Hiram rex Tyri per litteras, quas miserat Salomoni: Quia dilexit Dominus populum suum, idcirco te regnare fecit super eum.
Then Huram King of Tyrus answered in writing which he sent to Salomon, Because the Lord hath loued his people, he hath made thee King ouer them.
12 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.
Huram sayd moreouer, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which made the heauen and the earth, and that hath giuen vnto Dauid the King a wise sonne, that hath discretion, prudence and vnderstanding to buylde an house for the Lord, and a palace for his kingdome.
13 Misi ergo tibi virum prudentem et scientissimum Hiram, patrem meum,
Now therefore I haue sent a wise man, and of vnderstanding of my father Hurams,
14 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.
The sonne of a woman of the daughters of Dan: and his father was a man of Tyrus, and he can skill to worke in golde, in siluer, in brasse, in yron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue silke, and in fine linen, and in crimosin, and can graue in all grauen workes, and broyder in all broydered worke that shalbe giuen him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord Dauid thy father.
15 Triticum ergo, et hordeum, et oleum, et vinum, quæ pollicitus es domine mi, mitte servis tuis.
Now therefore the wheate and the barley, the oyle and the wine, which my lorde hath spoken of, let him send vnto his seruants.
16 Nos autem cædemus ligna de Libano, quot necessaria habueris, et applicabimus ea ratibus per mare in Ioppe: tuum autem erit transferre ea in Ierusalem.
And we wil cut wood in Lebanon as much as thou shalt neede, and will bring it to thee in raftes by the sea to Iapho, so thou mayest cary them to Ierusalem.
17 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.
And Salomon nombred al the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the nombring that his father Dauid had nombred them: and they were found an hundreth and three and fiftie thousand, and sixe hundreth.
18 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.
And he set seuentie thousande of them to the burden, and fourescore thousande to hewe stones in the mountaine, and three thousande and sixe hundreth ouerseers to cause the people to worke.
