1 Chronicles 28
1 And so David called together all the leaders of Israel, the rulers of the tribes, and those in charge of the companies, who were ministering to the king, and also the tribunes and centurions, and those in charge of the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons, with the eunuchs and the powerful and those most experienced in the army, at Jerusalem.
convocavit igitur David omnes principes Israhel duces tribuum et praepositos turmarum qui ministrabant regi tribunos quoque et centuriones et qui praeerant substantiae et possessionibus regis filiosque suos cum eunuchis et potentes et robustissimos quosque in exercitu Hierusalem
2 And when the king had risen up and was standing, he said: “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I thought that I would build a house, in which the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the footstool of our God, might rest. And so I prepared everything for its building.
cumque surrexisset rex et stetisset ait audite me fratres mei et populus meus cogitavi ut aedificarem domum in qua requiesceret arca foederis Domini et scabillum pedum Dei nostri et ad aedificandum omnia praeparavi
3 But God said to me: ‘You shall not build a house to my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.’
Deus autem dixit mihi non aedificabis domum nomini meo eo quod sis vir bellator et sanguinem fuderis
4 Now the Lord God of Israel chose me, out of the entire house of my father, so that I would be king over Israel forever. For from Judah he chose leaders; then from the house of Judah he chose the house of my father; and from the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me as king over all of Israel.
sed elegit Dominus Deus Israhel me de universa domo patris mei ut essem rex super Israhel in sempiternum de Iuda enim elegit principes porro de domo Iuda domum patris mei et de filiis patris mei placuit ei ut me eligeret regem super cunctum Israhel
5 Then too, among my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) he chose Solomon my son, so that he would sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord, over Israel.
sed et de filiis meis filios enim multos dedit mihi Dominus elegit Salomonem filium meum ut sederet in throno regni Domini super Israhel
6 And he said to me: ‘Solomon your son shall build my house and my courts. For I have chosen him to be to me as a son, and I will be to him as a father.
dixitque mihi Salomon filius tuus aedificabit domum meam et atria mea ipsum enim elegi mihi in filium et ego ero ei in patrem
7 And I will make firm his kingdom, even unto eternity, if he will persevere in doing my precepts and judgments, as also today.’
et firmabo regnum eius usque in aeternum si perseveraverit facere praecepta mea et iudicia sicut et hodie
8 Now therefore, before the entire assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God, so that you may possess the good land, and may bequeath it to your sons after you, even forever.
nunc igitur coram universo coetu Israhel audiente Deo nostro custodite et perquirite cuncta mandata Domini Dei nostri ut possideatis terram bonam et relinquatis eam filiis vestris post vos usque in sempiternum
9 And as for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts, and understands the thoughts of all minds. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will cast you aside for eternity.
tu autem Salomon fili mi scito Deum patris tui et servi ei corde perfecto et animo voluntario omnia enim corda scrutatur Dominus et universas mentium cogitationes intellegit si quaesieris eum invenies si autem dereliqueris illum proiciet te in aeternum
10 Now therefore, since the Lord has chosen you, so that you would build the house of the Sanctuary, be strengthened and accomplish it.”
nunc ergo quia elegit te Dominus ut aedificares domum sanctuarii confortare et perfice
11 Then David gave to his son Solomon a description of the portico, and the temple, and the storerooms, and the upper floor, and the innermost rooms, and the house of propitiation,
dedit autem David Salomoni filio suo descriptionem porticus et templi et cellariorum et cenaculi et cubiculorum in adytis et domus propitiationis
12 and indeed also of all the courts that he had planned, and the outer rooms on all sides, for the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and for the treasuries of the holy things,
necnon et omnium quae cogitaverat atriorum et exedrarum per circuitum in thesauros domus Domini et in thesauros sanctorum
13 and for the divisions of the priests and the Levites: concerning all the works of the house of the Lord and all the items in the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
divisionumque sacerdotalium et leviticarum in omnia opera domus Domini et in universa vasa ministerii templi Domini
14 There was gold by weight for every vessel of the ministry, and also silver by weight for the diversity of vessels and equipment.
aurum in pondere per singula vasa ministerii argenti quoque pondus pro vasorum ad opera diversitate
15 Then too, he distributed gold for the lampstands and their lamps, according to the measure of each of the lampstands with their lamps. Similarly also, he distributed silver by weight for the silver lampstands with their lamps, according to the diversity of their measure.
sed et ad candelabra aurea et ad lucernas eorum aurum pro mensura uniuscuiusque candelabri et lucernarum similiter et in candelabris argenteis et in lucernis eorum pro diversitate mensurae pondus argenti tradidit
16 Also, he gave gold for the tables of the presence, according to the diversity of the tables; similarly too, he gave silver for the other tables of silver.
aurum quoque dedit in mensas propositionis pro diversitate mensarum similiter et argentum in alias mensas argenteas
17 Also, he distributed from the purest gold for the small hooks and the bowls and the censors, as well as for the little lions of gold, in accord with the precise measure of the weight, for lion after lion. Similarly too, for the lions of silver, he set aside a different weight of silver.
ad fuscinulas quoque et fialas et turibula ex auro purissimo et leunculos aureos pro qualitate mensurae pondus distribuit in leunculum et leunculum similiter et in leones argenteos diversum argenti pondus separavit
18 Then, for the altar on which the incense was burned, he gave the purest gold. And from the same he made the likeness of the chariot of the Cherubim, with extended wings, which is veiling the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
altari autem in quo adoletur incensum aurum purissimum dedit ut ex ipso fieret similitudo quadrigae cherubin extendentium alas et velantium arcam foederis Domini
19 “All these things,” he said, “came to me written by the hand of the Lord, so that I would understand all the works of the pattern.”
omnia inquit venerunt scripta manu Domini ad me ut intellegerem universa opera exemplaris
20 David also said to his son Solomon: “Act manfully, and be strengthened, and carry it out. You should not be afraid, and you should not be dismayed. For the Lord my God will be with you, and he will not send you away, nor will he abandon you, until you have perfected the entire work of the ministry of the house of the Lord.
dixit quoque David Salomoni filio suo viriliter age et confortare et fac ne timeas et ne paveas Dominus enim Deus meus tecum erit et non dimittet te nec derelinquet donec perficias omne opus ministerii domus Domini
21 Behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, are standing before you. And they have been prepared, and so they know, both the leaders and the people, how to carry out all your precepts.”
ecce divisiones sacerdotum et Levitarum in omne ministerium domus Domini adsistunt tibi et parati sunt et noverunt tam principes quam populus facere omnia praecepta tua
