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 came to pass when Solomon had completed the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

2 apparuit Dominus ei secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon

that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 dixitque Dominus ad eum exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam qua 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 said to him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication which thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

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 [as for] thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;

5 ponam thronum regni tui super Israhel in sempiternum sicut locutus sum David patri tuo dicens non auferetur de genere tuo vir de solio Israhel

then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

6 si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri non sequentes me nec custodientes mandata mea et caerimonias quas proposui vobis sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos et adoraveritis eos

[But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments, my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them;

7 auferam Israhel de superficie terrae quam dedi eis et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo proiciam a conspectu meo eritque Israhel in proverbium et in fabulam cunctis populis

then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed to my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by word among all 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

and this house, [which] is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished at, and shall hiss, and they shall say, Why has 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 idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc

And they shall say, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have attached themselves to other gods, and have worshipped them and served them; therefore has Jehovah brought upon them all this evil.

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

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king's house,

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 Galileae

Hiram the king of Tyre having furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and cypress-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, — that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 egressusque est Hiram de Tyro ut videret oppida quae dederat ei Salomon et non placuerunt ei

And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.

13 et ait haecine sunt civitates quas dedisti mihi frater et appellavit eas terram Chabul usque in diem hanc

And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.

14 misit quoque Hiram ad regem centum viginti talenta auri

And Hiram had sent to the king one 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 Hierusalem et Eser et Mageddo et Gazer

And this is the account of the levy which king Solomon raised, 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 Gazer succenditque eam igni et Chananeum qui habitabat in civitate interfecit et dedit eam in dote filiae suae uxori Salomonis

— Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer, and burned it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

17 aedificavit ergo Salomon Gazer et Bethoron inferiorem

— And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,

18 et Baalath et Palmyram 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 Hierusalem et in Libano et in omni terra potestatis suae

and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and cities for chariots, and cities for the horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

20 universum populum qui remanserat de Amorreis et Hettheis et Ferezeis et Eveis et Iebuseis qui non sunt de filiis Israhel

All the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel,

21 horum filios qui remanserant in terra quos scilicet non potuerant filii Israhel exterminare fecit Salomon tributarios usque ad diem hanc

their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon them did Solomon impose a tribute of bondservice until this day.

22 de filiis autem Israhel non constituit Salomon servire quemquam sed erant viri bellatores et ministri eius et principes et duces et praefecti curruum et equorum

But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen; but they were men of war, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his captains, and captains 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 were the chief superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people that wrought in the work.

24 filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam quam aedificaverat ei tunc aedificavit Mello

But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which he had 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 three times in the year did Solomon offer up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar that he had built to Jehovah, and he burned incense upon that which was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.

26 classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber quae est iuxta Ahilam in litore maris Rubri in terra Idumea

And king Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

27 misitque Hiram in classe illa servos suos viros nauticos et gnaros maris cum servis Salomonis

And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon;

28 qui cum venissent in Ophir sumptum inde aurum quadringentorum viginti talentorum detulerunt ad regem Salomonem

and they went to Ophir, and fetched thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
