I Regum 9

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

And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to build the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,

2 apparuit ei Dominus secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.

that Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon a second time, as He appeared unto him in 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 Jehovah saith unto him, 'I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication with which thou hast made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that thou hast built to put My name there — unto the age, and Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days.

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 thou — if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee — My statutes and My judgments thou dost keep —

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 have established the throne of thy kingdom over Israel — to the age, as I spake unto David thy father, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from [being] on 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:

'If ye at all turn back — you and your sons — from after Me, and keep not My commands — My statutes, that I have set before you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to 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 I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My name I send away from My presence, and Israel hath been for a simile and for a byword among all the 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?

as to this house, [that] is high, every one passing by it is astonished, and hath hissed, and they have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus 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 they have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them; therefore hath Jehovah brought in upon them all this evil.'

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

And it cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon hath built the two houses, the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king.

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 hath assisted Solomon with cedar-trees, and with fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire; then doth king Solomon give to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

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

And Hiram cometh out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon hath given to him, and they have not been right in his eyes,

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

and he saith, 'What [are] these cities that thou hast given to me, my brother?' and one calleth them the land of Cabul unto this day.

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

And Hiram sendeth to 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.

And this [is] the matter of the tribute that king Solomon hath lifted up, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, 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 hath gone up and doth capture Gezer, and doth burn it with fire, and the Canaanite who is dwelling in the city he hath slain, and giveth it [with] presents to his daughter, wife of Solomon.)

17 Aedificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,

And Solomon buildeth Gezer, and Beth-Horon the lower,

18 et Balaath, et Palmiram in Terra solitudinis.

and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in 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 stores that king Solomon hath, and the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, 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:

The whole of the people that is left of the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who [are] not of the sons of Israel —

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

their sons who are left behind them in the land, whom the sons of Israel have not been able to devote — he hath even lifted up [on] them a tribute of service unto 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.

And out of the sons of Israel Solomon hath not appointed a servant, for they [are] the men of war, and his servants, and his heads, and his captains, and the heads of his chariots, and his horsemen.

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

These [are] the heads of the officers who [are] over the work of Solomon, fifty and five hundred, those ruling among the people who are labouring in the work.

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

Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the city of David unto her house that [Solomon] built for her; then he built 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 Solomon caused to ascend, three times in a year, burnt-offerings and peace-offerings on the altar that he built to Jehovah, and he perfumed it with that which [is] before Jehovah, and finished the house.

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

And a navy hath king Solomon made in Ezion-Geber, that is beside Eloth, on the edge of the Sea of Suph, in the land of Edom.

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

And Hiram sendeth in the navy his servants, shipmen knowing the sea, with servants of Solomon,

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

and they come in to Ophir and take thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and bring [it] in unto king Solomon.
