I Paralipomenon 22

1 Dixitque David: Haec est domus Dei, et hoc altare in holocaustum Israeli.

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

2 Et praecepit ut congregarentur omnes proselyti de Terra Israel, et constituit ex eis latomos ad caedendos lapides et poliendos, ut aedificaretur domus Dei.

And David commanded to collect the strangers 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 ianuarum, et ad commissuras atque iuncturas praeparavit David: et aeris pondus innumerabile.

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

4 Ligna quoque cedrina non poterant aestimari, quae Sidonii, et Tyrii deportaverant ad David.

and cedar-trees innumerable; for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-wood in abundance to David.

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

For David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Jehovah must be exceeding great in fame and in beauty in all lands: I will therefore make preparation for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death.

6 Vocavitque Salomonem filium suum: et praecepit ei ut aedificaret domum Domino Deo Israel.

And 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 meae fuit ut aedificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei,

And David said to Solomon, As for me, my son, I was minded 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 aedificare 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, for 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 Israel cunctis diebus eius.

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 in his days I will give peace and quietness unto Israel.

10 Ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo, et ipse erit mihi in filium, et ego ero illi in patrem: firmaboque solium regni eius super Israel in aeternum.

He shall build a house unto 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 aedifica domum Domino Deo tuo, sicut locutus est de te.

Now, my son, Jehovah be with thee, that thou mayest prosper, and build the house of Jehovah thy God, as he has said of thee.

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

Only, Jehovah give thee wisdom and understanding, and place thee over Israel, and to keep the law of Jehovah thy God.

13 Tunc enim proficere poteris, si custodieris mandata, et iudicia, quae praecepit Dominus Moysi ut doceret Israel: confortare et viriliter age, ne timeas, neque paveas.

Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to perform the statutes and ordinances which Jehovah commanded Moses for Israel: be strong and courageous; fear not, neither be dismayed.

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

And 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; and timber and stone have I prepared; and thou shalt add to it.

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

And there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every kind of work.

16 in auro et argento et aere et ferro, cuius 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 Praecepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israel, ut adiuvarent Salomonem filium suum.

And David 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 subiecta sit terra coram Domino, et coram populo eius.

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

19 Praebete igitur corda vestra et animas vestras, ut quaeratis Dominum Deum vestrum: et consurgite, et aedificate sanctuarium Domino Deo, ut introducatur arca foederis Domini, et vasa Domino consecrata, in domum, quae aedificatur nomini Domini.

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