Ii Paralipomenon 8
1 Expletis autem viginti annis postquam ædificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam:
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
2 civitates, quas dederat Hiram Salomoni, ædificavit, et habitare ibi fecit filios Israel.
Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
3 Abiit quoque in Emath Suba, et obtinuit eam.
Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4 Et ædificavit Palmiram in deserto, et alias civitates munitissimas ædificavit in Emath.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
5 Extruxitque Bethoron superiorem, et Bethoron inferiorem, civitates muratas habentes portas et vectes et seras:
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, 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.
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout 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 who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
8 de filiis eorum: et de posteris, quos non interfecerant filii Israel, subiugavit Salomon in tributarios, usque in diem hanc.
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to 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 Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
10 Omnes autem principes exercitus regis Salomonis fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta, qui erudiebant populum.
They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
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.
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
12 Tunc obtulit Salomon holocausta Domino super altare Domini, quod extruxerat ante porticum,
At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
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.
He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
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.
In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command 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.
They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
16 Omnes impensas præparatas habuit Salomon ex eo die, quo fundavit domum Domini usque in diem, quo perfecit eam.
Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
17 Tunc abiit Salomon in Asiongaber, et in Ailath ad oram Maris rubri, quæ est in Terra Edom.
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast 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.
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
