I Paralipomenon 22

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

Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the 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 gather 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 joinings; and brass in abundance beyond weight;

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

Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood 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 said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.

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

Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD 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, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house to the name of the LORD 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 the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house to 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 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 on every side: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will 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 shall build an 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 aedifica domum Domino Deo tuo, sicut locutus est de te.

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

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

Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD 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 shalt take heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor 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.

Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a million talents of silver; and of brass and iron beyond weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add to them.

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

Moreover there are workmen with thee in great numbers, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every manner 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 therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

17 Praecepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israel, ut adiuvarent 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 subiecta sit terra coram Domino, et coram populo eius.

Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, 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 the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
