Ii Paralipomenon 7
1 cumque conplesset Salomon fundens preces ignis descendit de caelo et devoravit holocausta et victimas et maiestas Domini implevit domum
And when Solomon had made an end of praying, a fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
2 nec poterant sacerdotes ingredi templum Domini eo quod implesset maiestas Domini templum Domini
And the priests were not able to enter into the house of the Lord; because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.
3 sed et omnes filii Israhel videbant descendentem ignem et gloriam Domini super domum et corruentes proni in terram super pavimentum stratum lapide adoraverunt et laudaverunt Dominum quoniam bonus quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius
And all the children of Israel were looking on as the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord [was resting] upon the house; and they kneeled down with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
4 rex autem et omnis populus immolabant victimas coram Domino
And the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
5 mactavit igitur rex Salomon hostias boum viginti duo milia arietum centum viginti milia et dedicavit domum Dei rex et universus populus
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and so they dedicated the house of God, the king and all the people.
6 sacerdotes autem stabant in officiis suis et Levitae in organis carminum Domini quae fecit David rex ad laudandum Dominum quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius hymnos David canentes per manus suas porro sacerdotes canebant tubis ante eos cunctusque Israhel stabat
And the priests were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the instruments of the music of the Lord, which king David had made to give thanks unto the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness, with the song of praise of David in their hand; and the priests blew the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel were standing.
7 sanctificavit quoque Salomon medium atrii ante templum Domini obtulerat enim ibi holocausta et adipes pacificorum quia altare aeneum quod fecerat non poterat sustinere holocausta et sacrificia et adipes
And Solomon hallowed the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.
8 fecit ergo Salomon sollemnitatem in tempore illo septem diebus et omnis Israhel cum eo ecclesia magna valde ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Aegypti
And Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto the river of Egypt.
9 fecitque die octavo collectam eo quod dedicasset altare septem diebus et sollemnitatem celebrasset diebus septem
And they held on the eighth day a solemn assembly; for the dedication of the altar they held seven days, and the feast seven days.
10 igitur in die vicesimo tertio mensis septimi dimisit populos ad tabernacula sua laetantes atque gaudentes super bono quod fecerat Dominus David et Salomoni et Israhel populo suo
And on the three-and-twentieth day of the seventh month he dismissed the people unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart because of the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for Israel his people.
11 conplevitque Salomon domum Domini et domum regis et omnia quae disposuerat in corde suo ut faceret in domo Domini et in domo sua et prosperatus est
Thus did Solomon complete the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and [in] all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prospered.
12 apparuit autem ei Dominus nocte et ait audivi orationem tuam et elegi locum istum mihi in domum sacrificii
Then appeared the Lord to Solomon during the night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and I have made choice of this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
13 si clausero caelum et pluvia non fluxerit et mandavero et praecepero lucustae ut devoret terram et misero pestilentiam in populum meum
If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I give a charge to the locusts to devour off the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people:
14 conversus autem populus meus super quos invocatum est nomen meum deprecatus me fuerit et exquisierit faciem meam et egerit paenitentiam a viis suis pessimis et ego exaudiam de caelo et propitius ero peccatis eorum et sanabo terram eorum
And if my people, over whom my name is called, do then humble themselves, and pray, and seek my presence, and turn away from their evil ways: then will I also hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 oculi quoque mei erunt aperti et aures meae erectae ad orationem eius qui in loco isto oraverit
Now, my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive unto the prayer on this place.
16 elegi enim et sanctificavi locum istum ut sit nomen meum ibi in sempiternum et permaneant oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus
And now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
17 tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me sicut ambulavit David pater tuus et feceris iuxta omnia quae praecepi tibi et iustitias meas iudiciaque servaveris
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father hath walked, so as to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my ordinances:
18 suscitabo thronum regni tui sicut pollicitus sum David patri tuo dicens non auferetur de stirpe tua vir qui sit princeps in Israhel
Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, just as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall never fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
19 si autem aversi fueritis et dereliqueritis iustitias meas et praecepta mea quae proposui vobis et abeuntes servieritis diis alienis et adoraveritis eos
But if ye will indeed turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and will go and serve other gods, and bow down to them:
20 evellam vos de terra mea quam dedi vobis et domum hanc quam sanctificavi nomini meo proiciam a facie mea et tradam eam in parabolam et in exemplum cunctis populis
Then will I pluck them up out of my land which I have given unto them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast away from my sight, and I will render it to be for a proverb and for a by-word among all the people.
21 et domus ista erit in proverbium universis transeuntibus et dicent stupentes quare fecit Dominus sic terrae huic et domui huic
And this house, which hath been so exalted, shall become an astonishment to every one that passeth by it: so that he will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
22 respondebuntque quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum patrum suorum qui eduxit eos de terra Aegypti et adprehenderunt deos alienos et adoraverunt eos atque coluerunt idcirco venerunt super eos universa haec mala
And men shall then say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and they took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath he brought upon them all this evil.
