I Regum 9
1 Factum est autem cum perfecisset Salomon aedificium domus Domini, et aedificium regis, et omne quod optaverat et voluerat facere,
Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;
2 apparuit ei Dominus secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.
The Lord came to him again in a vision, as he had done at Gibeon;
3 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam, quam deprecatus es coram me: sanctificavi domum hanc, quam aedificasti, ut ponerem nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et erunt oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.
And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.
4 Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me, sicut ambulavit pater tuus, in simplicitate cordis, et in aequitate: et feceris omnia, quae praecepi tibi, et legitima mea et iudicia mea servaveris,
As for you, if you will go on your way before me, as David your father did, uprightly and with a true heart, doing what I have given you orders to do, keeping my laws and my decisions;
5 ponam thronum regni tui super Israel in sempiternum, sicut locutus sum David patri tuo, dicens: Non auferetur vir de genere tuo de solio Israel.
Then I will make the seat of your rule over Israel certain for ever, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be king in Israel.
6 Si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri, non sequentes me, nec custodientes mandata mea, et ceremonias meas, quas proposui vobis, sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos, et adoraveritis eos:
But if you are turned from my ways, you or your children, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods and give them worship:
7 auferam Israel de superficie terrae, quam dedi eis: et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo, proiiciam a conspectu meo, eritque Israel in proverbium, et in fabulam cunctis populis.
Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.
8 Et domus haec erit in exemplum: omnis, qui transierit per eam, stupebit, et sibilabit, et dicet: Quare fecit Dominus sic terrae huic, et domui huic?
And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?
9 Et respondebunt: Quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum suum, qui eduxit patres eorum de Terra Aegypti, et secuti sunt deos alienos, et adoraverunt eos, et coluerunt eos: idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc.
And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.
10 Expletis autem annis viginti postquam aedificaverat Salomon duas domos, id est domum Domini, et domum regis,
Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house,
11 (Hiram rege Tyri praebente Salomoni ligna cedrina et abiegna, et aurum iuxta omne quod opus habuerat) tunc dedit Salomon Hiram viginti oppida in Terra Galilaeae.
(Hiram, king of Tyre, had given Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees and gold, as much as he had need of, ) King Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.
12 Et egressus est Hiram de Tyro, ut videret oppida, quae dederat ei Salomon, et non placuerunt ei,
But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns which Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.
13 et ait: Haecine sunt civitates, quas dedisti mihi, frater? Et appellavit eas Terram chabul, usque in diem hanc.
And he said, What sort of towns are these which you have given me, my brother? So they were named the land of Cabul, to this day.
14 Misit quoque Hiram ad regem Salomonem centum viginti talenta auri.
And Hiram sent the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15 Haec est summa expensarum, quam obtulit rex Salomon ad aedificandam domum Domini et domum suam, et Mello, et murum Ierusalem, et Heser, et Mageddo et Gazer.
Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer. ...
16 Pharao rex Aegypti ascendit, et cepit Gazar, succenditque eam igni: et Chananaeum, qui habitabat in civitate, interfecit, et dedit eam in dotem filiae suae uxori Salomonis.
Pharaoh, king of Egypt, came and took Gezer, burning it down and putting to death the Canaanites living in the town, and he gave it for a bride-offering to his daughter, Solomon's wife. ...
17 Aedificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,
... and Solomon was the builder of Gezer and Beth-horon the lower,
18 et Balaath, et Palmiram in Terra solitudinis.
And Baalath and Tamar in the waste land, in that land;
19 Et omnes vicos, qui ad se pertinebant, et erant absque muro, munivit, et civitates curruum et civitates equitum, et quodcumque ei placuit ut aedificaret in Ierusalem, et in Libano, et in omni terra potestatis suae.
And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.
20 Universum populum, qui remanserat de Amorrhaeis, et Hethaeis, et Pherezaeis, et Hevaeis, et Iebusaeis, qui non sunt de filiis Israel:
As for the rest of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not children of Israel;
21 horum filios, qui remanserant in terra, quos scilicet non potuerant filii Israel exterminare: fecit Salomon tributarios, usque in diem hanc.
Their children who were still in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not been able to put to complete destruction, them did Solomon put to forced work, to this day.
22 De filiis autem Israel non constituit Salomon servire quemquam, sed erant viri bellatores, et ministri eius, et principes, et duces, et praefecti curruum et equorum.
But Solomon did not put the children of Israel to forced work; they were the men of war, his servants, his captains, and his chiefs, captains of his war-carriages and of his horsemen.
23 Erant autem principes super omnia opera Salomonis praepositi quingenti quinquaginta, qui habebant subiectum populum, et statutis operibus imperabant.
These were the chiefs of the overseers of Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, in authority over the people who did the work.
24 Filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam, quam aedificaverat ei Salomon: tunc aedificavit Mello.
At that time Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her: then he made the Millo.
25 Offerebat quoque Salomon tribus vicibus per annos singulos holocausta, et pacificas victimas super altare, quod aedificaverat Domino, et adolebat thymiama coram Domino: perfectumque est templum.
Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.
26 Classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber, quae est iuxta Ailath in littore Maris rubri, in Terra Idumaeae.
And King Solomon made a sea-force of ships in Ezion-geber, by Eloth, on the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Misitque Hiram in classe illa servos suos viros nauticos et gnaros maris, cum servis Salomonis.
Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.
28 Qui cum venissent in Ophir, sumptum inde aurum quadringentorum viginti talentorum, detulerunt ad regem Salomonem.
And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.
