I Paralipomenon 22

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

And David says, “This is the house of YHWH God, and this [is] the altar for burnt-offering for 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 David says to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appoints hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.

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

And David has prepared iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates and for couplings, and bronze in abundance—there is no weighing,

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

and cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.

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 David says, “My son Solomon [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built for YHWH [is] to be made exceedingly great, for renown and for beauty to all the lands; now let me prepare for it”; and David prepares in abundance before his death.

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

And he calls for his son Solomon, and charges him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel,

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

and David says to his son Solomon, “As for me, it has been with my heart to build a house for the Name of my God YHWH,

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

and the word of YHWH [is] against me, saying, You have shed blood in abundance, and you have made great wars; you do not build a house for My Name, for you have shed much blood to the earth before Me.

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

Behold, a son is born to you; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his surrounding enemies, for Solomon is his name, and I give peace and quietness to Israel in his days;

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

he builds a house for My Name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel for all time.

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

Now my son, YHWH is with you, and you have prospered, and have built the house of your God YHWH, as He spoke concerning you.

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

Only, may YHWH give wisdom and understanding to you, and charge you concerning Israel, even to keep the Law of your God YHWH;

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 you prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the judgments that YHWH charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.

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

And behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of YHWH one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million talents of silver; and of bronze and of iron there is no weighing, for it has been in abundance; and I have prepared wood and stones, and you add to them.

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

And with you in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and craftsmen of stone and of wood, and every skillful man for every work.

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

Of the gold, of the silver, and of the bronze, and of the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and YHWH is with you.”

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

And David gives charge to all heads of Israel to give help to his son Solomon, [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 your God YHWH not with you? Indeed, He has given rest to you all around, for He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued 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

Now give your heart and your soul to seek for your God YHWH, and rise and build the sanctuary of YHWH God, to bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built for the Name of YHWH.”
