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 finished building the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to execute:

2 apparuit Dominus ei secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon

That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gib'on.

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 the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast offered before me; I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.

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 rectitude, to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and my 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 have spoken concerning David thy father, saying, There shall never 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 will at all turn away, ye or your children, from following me, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down to 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 from the face of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed unto my name, will I cast away from my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by-word among all the nations;

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 at this house, [which] should be so exalted, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and men will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto 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, For the cause that they forsook the Lord their God, who had brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord 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 the Lord, 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

(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ) that king Solomon then gave to 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 which Solomon had given him; but they were not right in his eyes.

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

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

14 misit quoque Hiram ad regem centum viginti talenta auri

And Hiram 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 manner of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and the Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Chazor, 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 captured Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a marriage-present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.

17 aedificavit ergo Salomon Gazer et Bethoron inferiorem

And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-choron,

18 et Baalath et Palmyram in terra solitudinis

And Ba'alath, and Thadmor 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 treasure-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for the chariots, and the cities for the horsemen, and the [other] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in 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 Emorites, 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 had not been able utterly to destroy, these did Solomon levy as tributary laborers 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

Yet of the children of Israel did Solomon make no one a bond-man; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and the officers of his chariots, and of his horsemen.

23 erant autem principes super omnia opera Salomonis praepositi quingenti quinquaginta qui habebant subiectum populum et statutis operibus imperabant

These [also] were the chiefs of the superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people that wrought on 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 unto her house which he had built for her: then did he build the 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 Solomon did offer three times in every year burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar which he had built unto the Lord, and he burnt incense upon the one that was before the Lord. 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 ship in 'Ezyon-geber, which is near 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 ship his servants, seamen, 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 came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
