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 the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,

2 apparuit ei Dominus secundo sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.

that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.

3 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam, quam 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 Jehovah said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

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 uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;

5 ponam thronum regni tui super Israel in sempiternum, sicut locutus sum David patri tuo, dicens: Non auferetur vir de genere tuo de solio Israel.

then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, according as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not 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 ceremonias meas, quas proposui vobis, sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos, et adoraveritis eos:

But if ye shall turn away from following me, ye or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

7 auferam Israel de superficie terrae, quam dedi eis: et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo, proiiciam a conspectu meo, eritque Israel in proverbium, et in fabulam cunctis populis.

then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

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 though this house is so high, yet shall every one that passeth by it be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath Jehovah done thus unto this land, and to 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 eos: idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc.

and they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath Jehovah brought all this evil upon them.

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, wherein Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah 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 Galilaeae.

(now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 Et egressus 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; and they pleased him not.

13 et ait: Haecine sunt civitates, quas dedisti mihi, frater? Et appellavit eas Terram chabul, usque in diem hanc.

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

14 Misit quoque Hiram ad regem Salomonem centum viginti talenta auri.

And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

15 Haec est summa expensarum, quam obtulit rex Salomon ad aedificandam domum Domini et domum suam, et Mello, et murum Ierusalem, et Heser, et Mageddo et Gazer.

And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

16 Pharao rex Aegypti ascendit, et cepit Gazar, succenditque eam igni: et Chananaeum, qui habitabat in civitate, interfecit, et dedit eam in dotem filiae suae uxori Salomonis.

Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a portion unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

17 Aedificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,

And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,

18 et Balaath, et Palmiram in Terra solitudinis.

and Baalath, and Tamar 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 Ierusalem, et in Libano, et in omni terra potestatis suae.

and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

20 Universum populum, qui remanserat de Amorrhaeis, et Hethaeis, et Pherezaeis, et Hevaeis, et Iebusaeis, qui non sunt de filiis Israel:

As for all the people that were left of the Amorites, 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 Israel exterminare: fecit Salomon tributarios, usque in diem hanc.

their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants unto this day.

22 De filiis autem Israel non constituit Salomon servire quemquam, sed erant viri bellatores, et ministri eius, et principes, et duces, et praefecti curruum et equorum.

But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers 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 were the chief officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.

24 Filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam, quam aedificaverat ei Salomon: tunc aedificavit Mello.

But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then did he build 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 three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar which he built unto Jehovah, burning incense therewith, [upon the altar] that was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.

26 Classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber, quae est iuxta Ailath in littore Maris rubri, in Terra Idumaeae.

And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside 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 navy his servants, shipmen 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 thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
