Ii Paralipomenon 8
1 expletis autem viginti annis postquam aedificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
2 civitates quas dederat Hiram Salomoni aedificavit et habitare ibi fecit filios Israhel
Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
3 abiit quoque in Emath Suba et obtinuit eam
Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4 et aedificavit Palmyram in deserto et alias civitates munitissimas aedificavit in Emath
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
5 extruxitque Bethoron superiorem et Bethoron inferiorem civitates muratas habentes portas et vectes et seras
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
6 Baalath etiam et omnes urbes firmissimas quae fuerunt Salomonis cunctasque urbes quadrigarum et urbes equitum omnia quae voluit Salomon atque disposuit aedificavit in Hierusalem et in Libano et in universa terra potestatis suae
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
7 omnem populum qui derelictus fuerat de Hettheis et Amorreis et Ferezeis et Eveis et Iebuseis qui non erant de stirpe Israhel
As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
8 de filiis eorum et de posteris quos non interfecerant filii Israhel subiugavit Salomon in tributarios usque in diem hanc
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9 porro de filiis Israhel non posuit ut servirent operibus regis ipsi enim erant viri bellatores et duces primi et principes quadrigarum et equitum eius
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
10 omnes autem principes exercitus regis Salomonis fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta qui erudiebant populum
They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
11 filiam vero Pharaonis transtulit de civitate David in domum quam aedificaverat ei dixit enim non habitabit uxor mea in domo David regis Israhel eo quod sanctificata sit quia ingressa est eam arca Domini
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
12 tunc obtulit Salomon holocausta Domino super altare Domini quod extruxerat ante porticum
At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
13 ut per singulos dies offerretur in eo iuxta praeceptum Mosi in sabbatis et in kalendis et in festis diebus ter per annum id est in sollemnitate azymorum et in sollemnitate ebdomadarum et in sollemnitate tabernaculorum
He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
14 et constituit iuxta dispositionem David patris sui officia sacerdotum in ministeriis suis et Levitas in ordine suo ut laudarent et ministrarent coram sacerdotibus iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei et ianitores in divisionibus suis per portam et portam sic enim praeceperat David homo Dei
In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
15 nec praetergressi sunt de mandatis regis tam sacerdotes quam Levitae ex omnibus quae praeceperat et in custodiis thesaurorum
They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
16 omnes inpensas praeparatas habuit Salomon ex eo die quo fundavit domum Domini usque in diem quo perfecit eam
Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
17 tunc abiit Salomon in Hesiongaber et in Ahilath ad oram maris Rubri quae est in terra Edom
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
18 misit autem ei Hiram per manum servorum suorum naves et nautas gnaros maris et abierunt cum servis Salomonis in Ophir tuleruntque inde quadringenta quinquaginta talenta auri et adtulerunt ad regem Salomonem
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
