I Paralipomenon 22

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

And David says, “This is the house of YHWH God, and this [is] the altar for 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 says to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appoints hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.

3 Ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos ianuarum, et ad commissuras atque iuncturas praeparavit David: et aeris pondus innumerabile.

And David has prepared iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates and for couplings, and bronze in abundance—there is no weighing,

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

and cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees 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.

And David says, “My son Solomon [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built for YHWH [is] to be made exceedingly great, for renown and for beauty to all the lands; now let me prepare for it”; and David prepares in abundance before his death.

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

And he calls for his son Solomon, and charges him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel,

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

and David says to his son Solomon, “As for me, it has been with my heart to build a house for the Name of my God YHWH,

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:

and the word of YHWH [is] against me, saying, You have shed blood in abundance, and you have made great wars; you do not build a house for My Name, for you have shed much blood to the earth before Me.

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 is born to you; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his surrounding enemies, for Solomon is his name, and I give peace and quietness to Israel in his days;

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 builds a house for My Name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel for all time.

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

Now my son, YHWH is with you, and you have prospered, and have built the house of your God YHWH, as He spoke concerning you.

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

Only, may YHWH give wisdom and understanding to you, and charge you concerning Israel, even to keep the Law of your God YHWH;

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 you prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the judgments that YHWH charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.

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 YHWH one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million talents of silver; and of bronze and of iron there is no weighing, for it has been in abundance; and I have prepared wood and stones, and you add to them.

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

And with you in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and craftsmen of stone and of wood, and every skillful man for every 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, of the silver, and of the bronze, and of the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and YHWH is with you.”

17 Praecepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israel, ut adiuvarent Salomonem filium suum.

And David gives charge to all heads of Israel to give help to his son Solomon, [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 your God YHWH not with you? Indeed, He has given rest to you all around, for He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued 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 give your heart and your soul to seek for your God YHWH, and rise and build the sanctuary of YHWH God, to bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built for the Name of YHWH.”
