1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, for Hiram was ever a devotee of David.
Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri servos suos ad Salomonem: audivit enim quod ipsum unxissent regem pro patre eius: quia amicus fuerat Hiram David omni tempore.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Misit autem Salomon ad Hiram, dicens:
3 Thou know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
Tu scis voluntatem David patris mei, et quia non potuerit ædificare domum nomini Domini Dei sui propter bella imminentia per circuitum, donec daret Dominus eos sub vestigio pedum eius.
4 But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
Nunc autem requiem dedit Dominus Deus meus mihi per circuitum: et non est satan, neque occursus malus.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy place, he shall build the house for my name.
Quamobrem cogito ædificare templum nomini Domini Dei mei, sicut locutus est Dominus David patri meo, dicens: Filius tuus, quem dabo pro te super solium tuum, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo.
6 Now therefore command thou that they cut for me cedar trees out of Lebanon. And my servants shall be with thy servants. And I will give thee wages for thy servants according to all that thou shall say, for thou know that there is not among us any that knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.
Præcipe igitur ut præcidant mihi servi tui cedros de Libano, et servi mei sint cum servis tuis: mercedem autem servorum tuorum dabo tibi quamcumque petieris: scis enim quomodo non est in populo meo vir qui noverit ligna cædere sicut Sidonii.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.
Cum ergo audisset Hiram verba Salomonis, lætatus est valde, et ait: Benedictus Dominus Deus hodie, qui dedit David filium sapientissimum super populum hunc plurimum.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou have sent to me. I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
Et misit Hiram ad Salomonem, dicens: Audivi quæcumque mandasti mihi: ego faciam omnem voluntatem tuam in lignis cedrinis et abiegnis.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that thou shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shall receive them. And thou shall accomplish my desire in giving food for my household.
Servi mei deponent ea de Libano ad mare: et ego componam ea in ratibus in mari usque ad locum, quem significaveris mihi; et applicabo ea ibi, et tu tolles ea: præbebisque necessaria mihi, ut detur cibus domui meæ.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
Itaque Hiram dabat Salomoni ligna cedrina, et ligna abiegna, iuxta omnem voluntatem eius.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil; thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.
Salomon autem præbebat Hiram coros tritici, viginti millia, in cibum domui eius, et viginti coros purissimi olei: hæc tribuebat Salomon Hiram per singulos annos.
12 And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two made a league together.
Dedit quoque Dominus sapientiam Salomoni, sicut locutus est ei: et erat pax inter Hiram et Salomonem, et percusserunt ambo fœdus.
13 And king Solomon raised a conscription out of all Israel, and the conscription was thirty thousand men.
Elegitque rex Salomon operarios de omni Israel, et erat indictio triginta millia virorum.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses. They were in Lebanon a month, and at home two months. And Adoniram was over the men subject to task work.
Mittebatque eos in Libanum, decem millia per menses singulos vicissim, ita ut duobus mensibus essent in domibus suis: et Adoniram erat super huiuscemodi indictione.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were hewers in the mountains,
Fueruntque Salomoni septuaginta millia eorum qui onera portabant, et octoginta millia latomorum in monte:
16 besides Solomon's chief officers who were over the work: three thousand and three hundred who bore rule over the people that labored in the work.
absque præpositis qui præerant singulis operibus, numero trium millium, et trecentorum præcipientium populo et his qui faciebant opus.
17 And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with shaped stone.
Præcepitque rex, ut tollerent lapides grandes, lapides pretiosos in fundamentum templi, et quadrarent eos:
18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites fashioned them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
quos dolaverunt cæmentarii Salomonis, et cæmentarii Hiram: porro Giblii præparaverunt ligna et lapides ad ædificandam domum.
