I Paralipomenon 29
1 Locutusque est David rex ad omnem ecclesiam: Salomonem filium meum unum elegit Deus, adhuc puerum et tenellum: opus namque grande est, neque enim homini praeparatur habitatio, sed Deo.
Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone Elohim hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for YHWH Elohim.
2 Ego autem totis viribus meis praeparavi impensas domus Dei mei. Aurum ad vasa aurea, et argentum in argentea, aes in aenea, ferrum in ferrea, ligna ad lignea: et lapides onychinos, et quasi stibinos, et diversorum colorum, omnemque pretiosum lapidem, et marmor Parium abundantissime:
Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my Elohim the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
3 et super haec, quae obtuli in domum Dei mei de peculio meo aurum et argentum, do in templum Dei mei, exceptis his, quae praeparavi in aedem sanctam.
Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my Elohim, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my Elohim, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
4 Tria millia talenta auri de auro Ophir: et septem millia talentorum argenti probatissimi ad deaurandos parietes templi.
Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal:
5 Et, ubicumque opus est aurum de auro, et ubicumque opus est argentum de argento, opera fiant per manus artificum: et si quis sponte offert, impleat manum suam hodie, et offerat quod voluerit Domino.
The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto YHWH?
6 Polliciti sunt itaque principes familiarum, et proceres tribuum Israel, tribuni quoque, et centuriones, et principes possessionum regis.
Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,
7 Dederuntque in opera domus Dei auri talenta quinque millia, et solidos decem millia: argenti talenta decem millia, et aeris talenta decem et octo millia: ferri quoque centum millia talentorum.
And gave for the service of the house of Elohim of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 Et apud quemcumque inventi sunt lapides, dederunt in thesauros domus Domini, per manum Iahiel Gersonitis.
And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of YHWH, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Laetatusque est populus, cum vota sponte promitterent: quia corde toto offerebant ea Domino: sed et David rex laetatus est gaudio magno.
Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to YHWH: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
10 Et benedixit Domino coram universa multitudine, et ait: Benedictus es Domine Deus Israel patris nostri ab aeterno in aeternum.
Wherefore David blessed YHWH before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, YHWH Elohim of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
11 Tua est Domine magnificentia, et potentia, et gloria, atque victoria: et tibi laus: cuncta enim quae in caelo sunt, et in terra, tua sunt: tuum Domine regnum, et tu es super omnes principes.
Thine, O YHWH, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O YHWH, and thou art exalted as head above all.
12 Tuae divitiae, et tua est gloria: tu dominaris omnium, in manu tua virtus et potentia: in manu tua magnitudo, et imperium omnium.
Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
13 Nunc igitur Deus noster confitemur tibi, et laudamus nomen tuum inclytum.
Now therefore, our Elohim, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
14 Quis ego, et quis populus meus, ut possimus haec tibi universa promittere? tua sunt omnia: et quae de manu tua accepimus dedimus tibi.
But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
15 Peregrini enim sumus coram te, et advenae, sicut omnes patres nostri. Dies nostri quasi umbra super terram, et nulla est mora.
For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
16 Domine Deus noster, omnis haec copia, quam paravimus ut aedificaretur domus nomini sancto tuo, de manu tua est, et tua sunt omnia.
O YHWH our Elohim, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.
17 Scio Deus meus quod probes corda, et simplicitatem diligas, unde et ego in simplicitate cordis mei laetus obtuli universa haec: et populum tuum, qui hic repertus est, vidi cum ingenti gaudio tibi offerre donaria.
I know also, my Elohim, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
18 Domine Deus Abraham, et Isaac, et Israel patrum nostrorum, custodi in aeternum hanc voluntatem cordis eorum, et semper in venerationem tui mens ista permaneat.
O YHWH Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
19 Salomoni quoque filio meo da cor perfectum, ut custodiat mandata tua, testimonia tua, et ceremonias tuas, et faciat universa: et aedificet aedem, cuius impensas paravi.
And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.
20 Praecepit autem David universae ecclesiae: Benedicite Domino Deo nostro. Et benedixit omnis ecclesia Domino Deo patrum suorum: et inclinaverunt se, et adoraverunt Deum, et deinde regem.
And David said to all the congregation, Now bless YHWH your Elohim. And all the congregation blessed YHWH Elohim of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped YHWH, and the king.
21 Immolaveruntque victimas Domino: et obtulerunt holocausta die sequenti, tauros mille, arietes mille, agnos mille cum libaminibus suis, et universo ritu abundantissime in omnem Israel.
And they sacrificed sacrifices unto YHWH, and offered burnt offerings unto YHWH, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
22 Et comederunt, et biberunt coram Domino in die illo cum grandi laetitia. Et unxerunt secundo Salomonem filium David. Unxerunt autem eum Domino in principem, et Sadoc in pontificem.
And did eat and drink before YHWH on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto YHWH to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.
23 Seditque Salomon super solium Domini in regem pro David patre suo, et cunctis placuit: et paruit illi omnis Israel.
Then Solomon sat on the throne of YHWH as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 Sed et universi principes, et potentes, et cuncti filii regis David dederunt manum, et subiecti fuerunt Salomoni regi.
And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
25 Magnificavit ergo Dominus Salomonem super omnem Israel: et dedit illi gloriam regni, qualem nullus habuit ante eum rex Israel.
And YHWH magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26 Igitur David filius Isai regnavit super universum Israel.
Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27 Et dies, quibus regnavit super Israel, fuerunt quadraginta anni: in Hebron regnavit septem annis, et in Ierusalem annis trigintatribus.
And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
28 Et mortuus est in senectute bona, plenus dierum, et divitiis, et gloria. et regnavit Salomon filius eius pro eo.
And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
29 Gesta autem David regis priora, et novissima scripta sunt in Libro Samuelis Videntis, et in Libro Nathan prophetae, atque in volumine Gad Videntis:
Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
30 Universique regni eius, et fortitudinis, et temporum, quae transierunt sub eo, sive in Israel, sive in cunctis regnis terrarum.
With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
