Ii Paralipomenon 2
1 Decrevit autem Salomon aedificare domum nomini Domini, et palatium sibi.
And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
2 Et numeravit septuaginta millia virorum portantium humeris, et octoginta millia qui caederent lapides in montibus, praepositosque eorum tria millia sexcentos.
And Solomon told out three score and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3 Misit quoque ad Hiram regem Tyri, dicens: Sicut egisti cum David patre meo, et misisti ei ligna cedrina ut aedificaret sibi domum, in qua et habitavit:
And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As you did deal with David my father, and did send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.
4 sic fac mecum ut aedificem domum nomini Domini Dei mei, ut consecrem eam ad adolendum incensum coram illo, et fumiganda aromata, et ad propositionem panum sempiternam, et ad holocautomata mane, et vespere, sabbatis quoque, et neomeniis, et sollemnitatibus Domini Dei nostri in sempiternum, quae mandata sunt Israeli.
Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
5 Domus enim, quam aedificare cupio, magna est: magnus est enim Deus noster super omnes deos.
And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
6 Quis ergo poterit praevalere, ut aedificet ei dignam domum? si caelum, et caeli caelorum capere eum nequeunt: quantus ego sum, ut possim aedificare ei domum? sed ad hoc tantum, ut adoleatur incensum coram illo.
But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
7 Mitte ergo mihi virum eruditum, qui noverit operari in auro, et argento, aere, et ferro, purpura, coccino, et hyacintho, et qui sciat sculpere caelaturas cum his artificibus, quos mecum habeo in Iudaea, et Ierusalem, quos praeparavit David pater meus.
Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
8 Sed et ligna cedrina mitte mihi, et arceuthina, et pinea de Libano: scio enim quod servi tui noverint caedere ligna de Libano, et erunt servi mei cum servis tuis,
Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that your servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with your servants,
9 ut parentur mihi ligna plurima. Domus enim, quam cupio aedificare, magna est nimis, et inclyta.
Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
10 Praeterea operariis, qui caesuri sunt ligna, servis tuis dabo in cibaria tritici coros viginti millia, et hordei coros totidem, olei quoque sata viginti millia.
And, behold, I will give to your servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
11 Dixit autem Hiram rex Tyri per litteras, quas miserat Salomoni: Quia dilexit Dominus populum suum, idcirco te regnare fecit super eum.
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD has loved his people, he has made you king over them.
12 Et addidit, dicens: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, qui fecit caelum et terram, qui dedit David regi filium sapientem et eruditum et sensatum atque prudentem, ut aedificaret domum Domino, et palatium sibi.
Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
13 Misi ergo tibi virum prudentem et scientissimum Hiram, ut patrem meum,
And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,
14 filium mulieris de filiabus Dan, cuius pater fuit Tyrius, qui novit operari in auro, et argento, aere, et ferro, et marmore, et lignis, in purpura quoque, et hyacintho, et bysso, et coccino: et qui scit caelare omnem sculpturam, et adinvenire prudenter quodcumque in opere necessarium est cum artificibus tuis, et cum artificibus domini mei David patris tui.
The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of engraving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with your cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David your father.
15 Triticum ergo, et hordeum, et oleum, et vinum, quae pollicitus es domine mi, mitte servis tuis.
Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:
16 Nos autem caedemus ligna de Libano, quot necessaria habueris, et applicabimus ea ratibus per mare in Ioppe: tuum autem erit transferre ea in Ierusalem.
And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need: and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem.
17 Numeravit igitur Salomon omnes viros proselytos, qui erant in terra Israel, post dinumerationem, quam dinumeravit David pater eius, et inventi sunt centum quinquaginta tria millia et sexcenti.
And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
18 Fecitque ex eis septuaginta millia, qui humeris onera portarent, et octoginta millia, qui lapides de montibus caederent: tria autem millia et sexcentos praepositos operum populi.
And he set three score and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
