I Regum 9

1 Factum est autem cum perfecisset Salomon aedificium domus Domini, et aedificium regis, et omne quod optaverat et voluerat facere,

When Salomon had finished the building of the house of ye Lord, and the kings palace, and all that Salomon desired and minded to do,

2 apparuit ei Dominus secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.

Then the Lord appeared vnto Salomon the second time, as he appeared vnto him 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 sayd vnto him, I haue heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I haue halowed this house (which thou hast built) to put my Name there for euer, and mine eyes, and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

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,

And if thou wilt walke before mee (as Dauid thy father walked in purenesse of heart and in righteousnesse) to doe according to al that I haue commanded thee, and keepe my statutes, and my iudgements,

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 will I stablish the throne of thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer, as I promised to Dauid thy father, saying, Thou shalt not want a man vpon the throne of 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 ye and your children turne away from mee, and wil not keepe my commandements, and my statutes (which I haue set before you) but go and serue other gods, and worship them,

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 will I cutte off Israel from the lande, which I haue giuen them, and the house which I haue halowed for my Name, will I cast out of my sight, and Israel shall be a prouerbe, and a common talke among all people.

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?

Euen this hie house shall bee so: euery one that passeth by it, shalbe astonied, and shall hisse, and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus vnto 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 they shall answere, Because they forsooke the Lord their God, which brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and haue taken holde vpon other gods, and haue worshipped them, and serued them, therfore hath the Lord brought vpon them all this euill.

10 Expletis autem annis viginti postquam aedificaverat Salomon duas domos, id est domum Domini, et domum regis,

And at the ende of twentie yeeres, when Salomon had buylded the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the Kings palace,

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.

(For the which Hiram the King of Tyrus had brought to Salomon timber of cedar, and firre trees, and golde, and whatsoeuer he desired) then King Salomon gaue to Hiram twentie cities in the land of Galil.

12 Et egressus est Hiram de Tyro, ut videret oppida, quae dederat ei Salomon, et non placuerunt ei,

And Hiram came out from Tyrus to see the cities which Salomon had giuen him, and they pleased him not.

13 et ait: Haecine sunt civitates, quas dedisti mihi, frater? Et appellavit eas Terram chabul, usque in diem hanc.

Therefore hee sayde, What cities are these which thou hast giuen me, my brother? And hee called them the land of Cabul vnto this day.

14 Misit quoque Hiram ad regem Salomonem centum viginti talenta auri.

And Hiram had sent the King sixe score 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.

And this is the cause of the tribute why King Salomon raised tribute, to wit, to builde the house of the Lord, and his owne house, and Millo, and the wall of Ierusalem, and Hazor, 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 had come vp, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slew the Canaanites, that dwelt in the citie, and gaue it for a present vnto his daughter Salomons wife.

17 Aedificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,

(Therefore Salomon builte Gezer and Beth-horon the nether,

18 et Balaath, et Palmiram in Terra solitudinis.

And Baalath and Tamor in the wildernes of the 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 cities of store, that Salomon had, euen cities for charets, and cities for horsemen, and all that Salomon desired and woulde build in Ierusalem, and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion)

20 Universum populum, qui remanserat de Amorrhaeis, et Hethaeis, et Pherezaeis, et Hevaeis, et Iebusaeis, qui non sunt de filiis Israel:

Al the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hiuites, and Iebusites, which were not of the children of Israel:

21 horum filios, qui remanserant in terra, quos scilicet non potuerant filii Israel exterminare: fecit Salomon tributarios, usque in diem hanc.

To wit, their children that were left after them in the lande, whome the children of Israel were not able to destroy, those did Salomon make tributaries vnto 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 of the children of Israel did Salomon make no bondmen: but they were men of warre and his seruants, and his princes, and his captaines, and rulers of his charets and his horsemen.

23 Erant autem principes super omnia opera Salomonis praepositi quingenti quinquaginta, qui habebant subiectum populum, et statutis operibus imperabant.

These were the princes of the officers, that were ouer Salomons worke: euen fiue hundreth and fiftie, and they ruled the people that wrought in the worke.

24 Filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam, quam aedificaverat ei Salomon: tunc aedificavit Mello.

And Pharaohs daughter came vp from the citie of Dauid vnto the house which Salomon had built for her: then did he buylde 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.

And thrise a yere did Salomon offer burnt offringes and peace offrings vpon the altar which he built vnto the Lord: and hee burnt incense vpon the altar that was before the Lord, when hee had finished the house.

26 Classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber, quae est iuxta Ailath in littore Maris rubri, in Terra Idumaeae.

Also King Salomon made a nauie of ships in Ezeon-geber, which is beside Eloth, and the brinke of the red Sea, in the land of Edom.

27 Misitque Hiram in classe illa servos suos viros nauticos et gnaros maris, cum servis Salomonis.

And Hiram sent with the nauie his seruats, that were mariners, and had knowledge of the sea, with the seruants of Salomon.

28 Qui cum venissent in Ophir, sumptum inde aurum quadringentorum viginti talentorum, detulerunt ad regem Salomonem.

And they came to Ophir and sette from thence foure hundreth and twentie talents of gold, and brought it to King Salomon.
