I Paralipomenon 22

1 Dixitque David: Hæc est domus Dei, et hoc altare in holocaustum Israëli.

Then David said, This is the house of Jehovah God, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel.

2 Et præcepit ut congregarentur omnes proselyti de terra Israël, et constituit ex eis latomos ad cædendos lapides et poliendos, ut ædificaretur domus Dei.

And David commanded to gather together the sojourners that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

3 Ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos januarum, et ad commissuras atque juncturas, præparavit David: et æris pondus innumerabile.

And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;

4 Ligna quoque cedrina non poterant æstimari, quæ Sidonii et Tyrii deportaverant ad David.

and cedar-trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-trees in abundance to David.

5 Et dixit David: Solomon filius meus puer parvulus est et delicatus: domus autem, quam ædificari volo Domino, talis esse debet ut in cunctis regionibus nominetur: præparabo ergo ei necessaria. Et ob hanc causam ante mortem suam omnes præparavit impensas.

And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for Jehovah must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

6 Vocavitque Salomonem filium suum, et præcepit ei ut ædificaret domum Domino Deo Israël.

Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for Jehovah, the God of Israel.

7 Dixitque David ad Salomonem: Fili mi, voluntatis meæ fuit ut ædificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei:

And David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God.

8 sed factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: Multum sanguinem effudisti, et plurima bella bellasti: non poteris ædificare domum nomini meo, tanto effuso sanguine coram me:

But the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

9 filius qui nascetur tibi, erit vir quietissimus: faciam enim eum requiescere ab omnibus inimicis suis per circuitum: et ob hanc causam Pacificus vocabitur: et pacem et otium dabo in Israël cunctis diebus ejus.

Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

10 Ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo, et ipse erit mihi in filium, et ego ero illi in patrem: firmaboque solium regni ejus super Israël in æternum.

He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

11 Nunc ergo fili mi, sit Dominus tecum, et prosperare, et ædifica domum Domino Deo tuo sicut locutus est de te.

Now, my son, Jehovah be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of Jehovah thy God, as he hath spoken concerning thee.

12 Det quoque Dominus prudentiam et sensum ut regere possis Israël, et custodire legem Domini Dei tui.

Only Jehovah give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel; that so thou mayest keep the law of Jehovah thy God.

13 Tunc enim proficere poteris, si custodieris mandata et judicia quæ præcepit Dominus Moysi ut doceret Israël. Confortare, et viriliter age: ne timeas, neque paveas.

Then shalt thou prosper, if thou observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Jehovah charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; fear not, neither be dismayed.

14 Ecce ego in paupertate mea præparavi impensas domus Domini, auri talenta centum millia, et argenti mille millia talentorum: æris vero et ferri non est pondus, vincitur enim numerus magnitudine; ligna et lapides præparavi ad universa impendia.

Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Jehovah a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver, and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

15 Habes quoque plurimos artifices, latomos, et cæmentarios, artificesque lignorum, et omnium artium ad faciendum opus prudentissimos,

Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all men that are skilful in every manner of work:

16 in auro et argento et ære et ferro, cujus non est numerus. Surge igitur et fac, et erit Dominus tecum.

of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and Jehovah be with thee.

17 Præcepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israël ut adjuvarent Salomonem filium suum:

David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying],

18 Cernitis, inquiens, quod Dominus Deus vester vobiscum sit, et dederit vobis requiem per circuitum, et tradiderit omnes inimicos vestros in manus vestras, et subjecta sit terra coram Domino, et coram populo ejus.

Is not Jehovah your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and before his people.

19 Præbete igitur corda vestra et animas vestras, ut quæratis Dominum Deum vestrum: et consurgite, et ædificate sanctuarium Domino Deo, ut introducatur arca fœderis Domini, et vasa Domino consecrata, in domum quæ ædificatur nomini Domini.

Now set your heart and your soul to seek after Jehovah your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of Jehovah.
