Ii Paralipomenon 8
1 Expletis autem viginti annis postquam ædificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam:
And it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of Yahweh, and his own house,
2 civitates, quas dederat Hiram Salomoni, ædificavit, et habitare ibi fecit filios Israel.
that, the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, —and caused, the sons of Israel, to dwell there.
3 Abiit quoque in Emath Suba, et obtinuit eam.
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, —and prevailed against it;
4 Et ædificavit Palmiram in deserto, et alias civitates munitissimas ædificavit in Emath.
and he built Tadmor, in the wilderness, —and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath;
5 Extruxitque Bethoron superiorem, et Bethoron inferiorem, civitates muratas habentes portas et vectes et seras:
and he built Beth-horon, the upper, and Beth-horon, the nether, —fortified cities, with walls, and doors and bars;
6 Balaath etiam et omnes urbes firmissimas, quæ fuerunt Salomonis, cunctasque urbes quadrigarum, et urbes equitum. Omnia quæcumque voluit Salomon atque disposuit, ædificavit in Ierusalem et in Libano, et in universa terra potestatis suæ.
and Baalath, and all the store cities which pertained to Solomon, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, —and every delight of Solomon which he delighted to build in Jerusalem, and in the Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
7 Omnem populum, qui derelictus fuerat de Hethæis, et Amorrhæis, et Pherezæis, et Hevæis, et Iebusæis, qui non erant de stirpe Israel,
As for all the people that were left, of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not, of Israel; —
8 de filiis eorum: et de posteris, quos non interfecerant filii Israel, subiugavit Salomon in tributarios, usque in diem hanc.
of their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not utterly destroyed, Solomon enrolled them as tributary—unto this day.
9 Porro de filiis Israel non posuit ut servirent operibus regis: ipsi enim erant viri bellatores, et duces primi, et principes quadrigarum et equitum eius.
But, of the sons of Israel, were there none whom he delivered up as bondmen unto his work, —for, they, were men of war, and his captains and his heroes, and captains over his chariots, and his horsemen.
10 Omnes autem principes exercitus regis Salomonis fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta, qui erudiebant populum.
These, moreover, were the chiefs of his officers whom King Solomon had, two hundred and fifty, —who wielded dominion over the people.
11 Filiam vero Pharaonis transtulit de Civitate David in domum, quam ædificaverat ei. Dixit enim rex: Non habitabit uxor mea in domo David regis Israel, eo quod sanctificata sit: quia ingressa est in eam arca Domini.
And, the daughter of Pharaoh, Solomon brought up, out of the city of David, unto the house which he had built for her, —for he said, A wife of mine must not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for holy are those places whereinto the ark of Yahweh hath come.
12 Tunc obtulit Salomon holocausta Domino super altare Domini, quod extruxerat ante porticum,
Then, Solomon offered up ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh, —upon the altar of Yahweh, which he had built before the porch:
13 ut per singulos dies offerretur in eo iuxta præceptum Moysi in Sabbatis et in calendis, et in festis diebus, ter per annum, id est, in sollemnitate azymorum, et in sollemnitatem hebdomadarum, et in sollemnitate tabernaculorum.
even according to the duty of each a day upon [its own] day, offering up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the appointed feasts, three times in the year, —in the festival of unleavened cakes and in the festival of weeks, and in the festival of booths;
14 Et constituit iuxta dispositionem David patris sui officia Sacerdotum in ministeriis suis: et Levitas in ordine suo, ut laudarent, et ministrarent coram Sacerdotibus iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei: et ianitores in divisionibus suis per portam et portam: sic enim præceperat David homo Dei.
and he caused to stand, according to the regulation of David his father, the courses of the priests over their service and of the Levites over their charges, to offer praise and to minister before the priests, for the duty of each day upon its own day, and the gate-keepers in their courses, at every several gate, —for, such, was the commandment of David the man of God;
15 Nec prætergressi sunt de mandatis regis tam Sacerdotes, quam Levitæ ex omnibus, quæ præceperat, et in custodiis thesaurorum.
neither departed they from the commandment of the king, concerning the priests and the Levites as to any duty, or as to the treasuries.
16 Omnes impensas præparatas habuit Salomon ex eo die, quo fundavit domum Domini usque in diem, quo perfecit eam.
So all the work of Solomon was prepared, from the day of founding the house of Yahweh, even as far as the finishing thereof, —complete was the house of Yahweh.
17 Tunc abiit Salomon in Asiongaber, et in Ailath ad oram Maris Rubri, quæ est in Terra Edom.
Then, went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and unto Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom.
18 Misit autem ei Hiram per manus servorum suorum naves, et nautas gnaros maris, et abierunt cum servis Salomonis in Ophir, tuleruntque inde quadringenta quinquaginta talenta auri, et attulerunt ad regem Salomonem.
And Huram sent him—by the hand of his servants—ships, and servants skilled in the sea, and they came, with the servants of Solomon, towards Ophir, and took from thence, four hundred and fifty talents of gold, —and brought unto King Solomon.
