1 dixitque David haec est domus Dei et hoc altare in holocaustum Israhel

And Dauid saide, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for the burnt offring of Israel.

2 et praecepit ut congregarentur omnes proselyti de terra Israhel et constituit ex eis latomos ad caedendos lapides et poliendos ut aedificaretur domus Dei

And Dauid commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the lande of Israel, and he set masons to hewe and polish stones to builde the house of God.

3 ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos ianuarum et ad commissuras atque iuncturas praeparavit David et aeris pondus innumerabile

Dauid also prepared much yron for the nayles of the doores and of the gates, and for the ioynings, and abundance of brasse passing weight,

4 ligna quoque cedrina non poterant aestimari quae Sidonii et Tyrii deportaverant ad David

And cedar trees without nomber: for the Zidonians and they of Tyrus brought much cedar wood to Dauid.

5 et dixit David Salomon filius meus puer parvulus est et delicatus domus autem quam aedificari volo Domino talis esse debet ut in cunctis regionibus nominetur praeparabo ergo ei necessaria et ob hanc causam ante mortem suam omnes paravit inpensas

And Dauid saide, Salomon my sonne is yong and tender, and we must builde an house for the Lord, magnificall, excellent and of great fame and dignitie throughout all countreyes. I will therefore nowe prepare for him. So Dauid prepared very much before his death.

6 vocavitque Salomonem filium suum et praecepit ei ut aedificaret domum Domino Deo Israhel

Then he called Salomon his sonne, and charged him to builde an house for the Lord God of Israel.

7 dixitque David ad Salomonem fili mi voluntatis meae fuit ut aedificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei

And Dauid said to Salomon, My sonne, I purposed with my selfe to builde an house to the Name of the Lord my God,

8 sed factus est ad me sermo Domini dicens multum sanguinem effudisti et plurima bella bellasti non poteris aedificare domum nomini meo tanto effuso sanguine coram me

But the worde of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed much blood, and hast made great battels: thou shalt not builde an house vnto my Name: for thou hast shead much blood vpon the earth in my sight.

9 filius qui nascetur tibi et erit vir quietissimus faciam enim eum requiescere ab omnibus inimicis suis per circuitum et ob hanc causam pacificus vocabitur et pacem et otium dabo in Israhel cunctis diebus eius

Beholde, a sonne is borne to thee, which shalbe a man of rest, for I will giue him rest from all his enemies rounde about: therefore his name is Salomon: and I will sende peace and quietnes vpon Israel in his dayes.

10 ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo et ipse erit mihi in filium et ego ero ei in patrem firmaboque solium regni eius super Israhel in aeternum

Hee shall builde an house for my Name, and he shalbe my sonne, and I will be his father, and I will establish the throne of his kingdome vpon Israel for euer.

11 nunc ergo fili mi sit Dominus tecum et prosperare et aedifica domum Domino Deo tuo sicut locutus est de te

Nowe therefore my sonne, the Lord shalbe with thee, and thou shalt prosper, and thou shalt builde an house to the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken of thee.

12 det quoque tibi Dominus prudentiam et sensum ut regere possis Israhel et custodire legem Domini Dei tui

Onely the Lord giue thee wisedome and vnderstanding, and giue thee charge ouer Israel, euen to keepe the Lawe of the Lord thy God.

13 tunc enim proficere poteris si custodieris mandata et iudicia quae praecepit Dominus Mosi ut doceret Israhel confortare viriliter age ne timeas neque paveas

Then thou shalt prosper, if thou take heede to obserue the statutes and the iudgements which the Lord commanded Moses for Israel: be strong and of good courage: feare not, neither bee afraide.

14 ecce ego in paupertatula mea praeparavi inpensas domus Domini auri talenta centum milia et argenti mille milia talentorum aeris vero et ferri non est pondus vincitur enim numerus magnitudine ligna et lapides praeparavi ad universa inpendia

For beholde, according to my pouertie haue I prepared for the house of the Lord an hundreth thousand talents of golde, and a thousand thousande talents of siluer, and of brasse and of yron passing weight: for there was abundance: I haue also prepared timber and stone, and thou mayest prouide more thereto.

15 habes quoque plurimos artifices latomos et cementarios artificesque lignorum et omnium artium ad faciendum opus prudentissimos

Moreouer thou hast workmen with thee enough, hewers of stone, and workemen for timber, and all men expert in euery worke.

16 in auro et argento aere et ferro cuius non est numerus surge igitur et fac et erit Dominus tecum

Of golde, of siluer, and of brasse, and of yron there is no nomber: Vp therefore, and be doing, and the Lord wilbe with thee.

17 praecepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israhel ut adiuvarent Salomonem filium suum

Dauid also commanded all the princes of Israel to helpe Salomon his sonne, saying,

18 cernitis inquiens quod Dominus Deus vester vobiscum sit et dederit vobis requiem per circuitum et tradiderit omnes inimicos in manu vestra et subiecta sit terra coram Domino et coram populo eius

Is not the Lord your God with you, and hath giuen you rest on euerie side? for hee hath giuen the inhabitants of the land into mine hand, and the land is subdued before the Lord and before his people.

19 praebete igitur corda vestra et animas vestras ut quaeratis Dominum Deum vestrum et consurgite et aedificate sanctuarium Domino Deo ut introducatur arca foederis Domini et vasa Domino consecrata in domum quae aedificatur nomini Domini

Nowe set your hearts and your soules to seeke the Lord your God, and arise, and builde the Sanctuarie of the Lord God to bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God into the house built for the Name of the Lord.
