Ii Paralipomenon 2
1 Decrevit autem Salomon aedificare domum nomini Domini, et palatium sibi.
Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a 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.
Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, 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:
Solomon sent to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying, "As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, 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.
Look, I am about to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, 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 set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 Domus enim, quam aedificare cupio, magna est: magnus est enim Deus noster super omnes deos.
"The house which I build is great; for our God is great 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 a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense 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.
"Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
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 know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and look, 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 great and wonderful.
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.
Look, I will give to your servants, the cutters who 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 Hiram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because Jehovah loves 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.
Hiram continued, "Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.
13 Misi ergo tibi virum prudentem et scientissimum Hiram, ut patrem meum,
Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Hiram Abi,
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 bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to execute any design; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful 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.
Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand 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.
He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
