I Regum 5
1 Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri servos suos ad Salomonem: audivit enim quod ipsum unxissent regem pro patre eius: quia amicus fuerat Hiram David omni tempore.
And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth his servants unto Solomon, for he heard that they had anointed him for king instead of his father, for Hiram was a lover of David all the days;
2 Misit autem Salomon ad Hiram, dicens:
and Solomon sendeth unto Hiram, saying,
3 Tu scis voluntatem David patris mei, et quia non potuerit aedificare domum nomini Domini Dei sui propter bella imminentia per circuitum, donec daret Dominus eos sub vestigio pedum eius.
'Thou hast known David my father, that he hath not been able to build a house to the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars that have been round about him, till Jehovah's putting them under the soles of his feet.
4 Nunc autem requiem dedit Dominus Deus meus mihi per circuitum: et non est satan, neque occursus malus.
'And now, Jehovah my God hath given rest to me round about, there is no adversary nor evil occurrence,
5 Quamobrem cogito aedificare templum nomini Domini Dei mei, sicut locutus est Dominus David patri meo, dicens: Filius tuus, quem dabo pro te super solium tuum, ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo.
and lo, I am saying to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son whom I appoint in thy stead on thy throne, he doth build the house for My name.
6 Praecipe igitur ut praecidant mihi servi tui cedros de Libano, et servi mei sint cum servis tuis: mercedem autem servorum tuorum dabo tibi quamcumque petieris: scis enim quomodo non est in populo meo vir qui noverit ligna caedere sicut Sidonii.
'And now, command, and they cut down for me cedars out of Lebanon, and my servants are with thy servants, and the hire of thy servants I give to thee according to all that thou sayest, for thou hast known that there is not among us a man acquainted with cutting wood, like the Sidonians.'
7 Cum ergo audisset Hiram verba Salomonis, laetatus est valde, et ait: Benedictus Dominus Deus hodie, qui dedit David filium sapientissimum super populum hunc plurimum.
And it cometh to pass at Hiram's hearing the words of Solomon, that he rejoiceth exceedingly, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah to-day, who hath given to David a wise son over this numerous people.'
8 Et misit Hiram ad Salomonem, dicens: Audivi quaecumque mandasti mihi: ego faciam omnem voluntatem tuam in lignis cedrinis et abiegnis.
And Hiram sendeth unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me, I do all thy desire concerning cedar-wood, and fir-wood,
9 Servi mei deponent ea de Libano ad mare: et ego componam ea in ratibus in mari usque ad locum, quem significaveris mihi; et applicabo ea ibi, et tu tolles ea: praebebisque necessaria mihi, ut detur cibus domui meae.
my servants bring down from Lebanon to the sea, and I make them floats in the sea unto the place that thou sendest unto me, and I have spread them out there; and thou dost take [them] up, and thou dost execute my desire, to give the food of my house.'
10 Itaque Hiram dabat Salomoni ligna cedrina, et ligna abiegna, iuxta omnem voluntatem eius.
And Hiram is giving to Solomon cedar-trees, and fir-trees, all his desire,
11 Salomon autem praebebat Hiram coros tritici, viginti millia, in cibum domui eius, et viginti coros purissimi olei: haec tribuebat Salomon Hiram per singulos annos.
and Solomon hath given to Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat, food for his house, and twenty cors of beaten oil; thus doth Solomon give to Hiram year by year.
12 Dedit quoque Dominus sapientiam Salomoni, sicut locutus est ei: et erat pax inter Hiram et Salomonem, et percusserunt ambo foedus.
And Jehovah hath given wisdom to Solomon as He spake to him, and there is peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they make a covenant both of them.
13 Elegitque rex Salomon operarios de omni Israel, et erat indictio triginta millia virorum.
And king Solomon lifteth up a tribute out of all Israel, and the tribute is thirty thousand men,
14 Mittebatque eos in Libanum, decem millia per menses singulos vicissim, ita ut duobus mensibus essent in domibus suis: et Adoniram erat super huiuscemodi indictione.
and he sendeth them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by changes, a month they are in Lebanon, two months in their own house; and Adoniram [is] over the tribute.
15 Fueruntque Salomoni septuaginta millia eorum qui onera portabant, et octoginta millia latomorum in monte:
And king Solomon hath seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing in the mountain,
16 absque praepositis qui praeerant singulis operibus, numero trium millium, et trecentorum praecipientium populo et his qui faciebant opus.
apart from the heads of the officers of Solomon, who [are] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who are working in the business.
17 Praecepitque rex, ut tollerent lapides grandes, lapides pretiosos in fundamentum templi, et quadrarent eos:
And the king commandeth, and they bring great stones, precious stone, to lay the foundation of the house, hewn stones;
18 quos dolaverunt caementarii Salomonis, et caementarii Hiram: porro Giblii praeparaverunt ligna et lapides ad aedificandam domum.
and the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and the Giblites hew, and prepare the wood and the stones to build the house.
