1 Kings 8
1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
Tunc congregati sunt omnes maiores natu Israel cum principibus tribuum, et duces familiarum filiorum Israel ad regem Salomonem in Ierusalem: ut deferrent arcam fœderis Domini, de civitate David, id est, de Sion.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Convenitque ad regem Salomonem universus Israel in mense Ethanim, in solemni die, ipse est mensis septimus.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
Veneruntque cuncti senes de Israel, et tulerunt arcam sacerdotes,
4 And they brought the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring.
et portaverunt arcam Domini, et tabernaculum fœderis, et omnia vasa Sanctuarii, quæ erant in tabernaculo: et ferebant ea sacerdotes et Levitæ.
5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
Rex autem Salomon, et omnis multitudo Israel, quæ convenerat ad eum, gradiebatur cum illo ante arcam, et immolabant oves et boves absque æstimatione et numero.
6 And the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, in oraculum templi, in Sanctum sanctorum subter alas cherubim.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staffs above.
Siquidem cherubim expandebant alas super locum arcæ, et protegebant arcam, et vectes eius desuper.
8 And they drew out the staffs, that the ends of the staffs were seen out in the holy place before the inner sanctuary, and they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.
Cumque eminerent vectes, et apparerent summitates eorum foris Sanctuarium ante oraculum, non apparebant ultra extrinsecus, qui et fuerunt ibi usque in præsentem diem.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
In arca autem non erat aliud nisi duæ tabulæ lapideæ, quas posuerat in ea Moyses in Horeb, quando pepigit Dominus fœdus cum filiis Israel, cum egrederentur de Terra Ægypti.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
Factum est autem, cum exissent sacerdotes de Sanctuario, nebula implevit domum Domini,
11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
et non poterant sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter nebulam: impleverat enim gloria Domini domum Domini.
12 Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Tunc ait Salomon: Dominus dixit ut habitaret in nebula.
13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
Ædificans ædificavi domum in habitaculum tuum, firmissimum solium tuum in sempiternum.
14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel were standing; )
Convertitque rex faciem suam, et benedixit omni ecclesiæ Israel: omnia enim ecclesia Israel stabat.
15 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
Et ait Salomon: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, qui locutus est ore suo ad David patrem meum, et in manibus eius perfecit, dicens:
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel from Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be in it; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
A die, qua eduxi populum meum Israel de Ægypto, non elegi civitatem de universis tribubus Israel, ut ædificaretur domus, et esset nomen meum ibi: sed elegi David ut esset super populum meum Israel.
17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
Voluitque David pater meus ædificare domum nomini Domini Dei Israel:
18 And the LORD said to David my father, Though it was in thy heart to build an house to my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart.
et ait Dominus ad David patrem meum: Quod cogitasti in corde tuo ædificare domum nomini meo, bene fecisti, hoc ipsum mente tractans.
19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house to my name.
Verumtamen tu non ædificabis mihi domum, sed filius tuus, qui egredietur de renibus tuis, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo.
20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spoke, and I have risen in the stead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
Confirmavit Dominus sermonem suum, quem locutus est: stetique pro David patre meo, et sedi super thronum Israel, sicut locutus est Dominus: et ædificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israel.
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them from the land of Egypt.
Et constitui ibi locum arcæ, in qua fœdus Domini est, quod percussit cum patribus nostris, quando egressi sunt de Terra Ægypti.
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
Stetit autem Salomon ante altare Domini in conspectu ecclesiæ Israel, et expandit manus suas in cælum,
23 And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
et ait: Domine Deus Israel, non est similis tui Deus in cælo desuper, et super terram deorsum: qui custodis pactum et misericordiam servis tuis, qui ambulant coram te in toto corde suo.
24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: thou didst speak also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
Qui custodisti servo tuo David patri meo quæ locutus es ei: ore locutus es, et manibus perfecisti, ut hæc dies probat.
25 Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
Nunc igitur Domine Deus Israel, conserva famulo tuo David patri meo quæ locutus es ei, dicens: Non auferetur de te vir coram me, qui sedeat super thronum Israel: ita tamen si custodierint filii tui viam suam, ut ambulent coram me sicut tu ambulasti in conspectu meo.
26 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou didst speak to thy servant David my father.
Et nunc Domine Deus Israel firmentur verba tua, quæ locutus es servo tuo David patri meo.
27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?
Ergone putandum est quod vere Deus habitet super terram? si enim cælum, et cæli cælorum te capere non possunt, quanto magis domus hæc, quam ædificavi?
28 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:
Sed respice ad orationem servi tui, et ad preces eius Domine Deus meus: audi hymnum et orationem, quam servus tuus orat coram te hodie:
29 That thy eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.
ut sint oculi tui aperti super domum hanc nocte ac die: super domum, de qua dixisti: Erit nomen meum ibi: ut exaudias orationem, quam orat in loco isto ad te servus tuus.
30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
Ut exaudias deprecationem servi tui et populi tui Israel, quodcumque oraverint in loco isto, et exaudies in loco habitaculi tui in cælo, et cum exaudieris, propitius eris.
31 If any man shall trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy altar in this house:
Si peccaverit homo in proximum suum, et habuerit aliquod iuramentum, quo teneatur astrictus; et venerit propter iuramentum coram altari tuo in domum tuam,
32 Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
tu exaudies in cælo: et facies, et iudicabis servos tuos, condemnans impium, et reddens viam suam super caput eius, iustificansque iustum, et retribuens ei secundum iustitiam suam.
33 When thy people Israel shall be smitten before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication to thee in this house:
Si fugerit populus tuus Israel inimicos suos (quia peccaturus est tibi) et agentes pœnitentiam, et confitentes nomini tuo, venerint, et oraverint, et deprecati te fuerint in domo hac;
34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.
exaudi in cælo, et dimitte peccatum populi tui Israel, et reduces eos in terram, quam dedisti patribus eorum.
35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:
Si clausum fuerit cælum, et non pluerit propter peccata eorum, et orantes in loco isto, pœnitentiam egerint nomini tuo, et a peccatis suis conversi fuerint propter afflictionem suam:
36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou mayest teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
exaudi eos in cælo, et dimitte peccata servorum tuorum, et populi tui Israel: et ostende eis viam bonam per quam ambulent, et da pluviam super terram tuam, quam dedisti populo tuo in possessionem.
37 If there shall be in the land famine, if there shall be pestilence, blighting, mildew, locust, or if there shall be caterpiller; if their enemy shall besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there shall be;
Fames si oborta fuerit in terra, aut pestilentia, aut corruptus aer, aut ærugo, aut locusta, vel rubigo, et afflixerit eum inimicus eius portas obsidens, omnis plaga, universa infirmitas,
38 Whatever prayer and supplication shall be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
cuncta devotatio, et imprecatio, quæ acciderit omni homini de populo tuo Israel: si quis cognoverit plagam cordis sui, et expanderit manus suas in domo hac,
39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men; )
tu exaudies in cælo in loco habitationis tuæ, et repropitiaberis, et facies ut des unicuique secundum omnes vias suas, sicut videris cor eius (quia tu nosti solus cor omnium filiorum hominum)
40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.
ut timeant te cunctis diebus, quibus vivunt super faciem terræ, quam dedisti patribus nostris.
41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name’s sake;
Insuper et alienigena, qui non est de populo tuo Israel, cum venerit de terra longinqua propter nomen tuum (audietur enim nomen tuum magnum, et manus tua fortis, et brachium tuum
42 (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy outstretched arm; ) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
extentum ubique) cum venerit ergo, et oraverit in hoc loco,
43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have built, is called by thy name.
tu exaudies in cælo, in firmamento habitaculi tui et facies omnia, pro quibus invocaverit te alienigena: ut discant universi populi terrarum nomen tuum timere, sicut populus tuus Israel, et probent quia nomen tuum invocatum est super domum hanc, quam ædificavi.
44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever thou shalt send them, and shall pray to the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
Si egressus fuerit populus tuus ad bellum contra inimicos suos, per viam, quocumque miseris eos, orabunt te contra viam civitatis, quam elegisti, et contra domum, quam ædificavi nomini tuo,
45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
et exaudies in cælo orationes eorum, et preces eorum, et facies iudicium eorum.
46 If they shall sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far or near;
Quod si peccaverint tibi (non est enim homo qui non peccet) et iratus tradideris eos inimicis suis, et captivi ducti fuerint in terram inimicorum longe vel prope,
47 Yet if they shall take it to their hearts in the land where they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication to thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
et egerint pœnitentiam in corde suo in loco captivitatis, et conversi deprecati te fuerint in captivitate sua, dicentes: Peccavimus, inique egimus, impie gessimus:
48 And so return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
et reversi fuerint ad te in universo corde suo, et tota anima sua in terra inimicorum suorum, ad quam captivi ducti fuerint: et oraverint te contra viam terræ suæ, quam dedisti patribus eorum, et civitatis quam elegisti, et templi quod ædificavi nomini tuo:
49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
exaudies in cælo, in firmamento solii tui orationes eorum, et preces eorum, et facies iudicium eorum:
50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
et propitiaberis populo tuo qui peccavit tibi, et omnibus iniquitatibus eorum, quibus prævaricati sunt in te: et dabis misericordiam coram eis, qui eos captivos habuerint, ut misereantur eis.
51 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, which thou broughtest out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
Populus enim tuus est, et hereditas tua, quos eduxisti de Terra Ægypti, de medio fornacis ferreæ.
52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them in all their supplications to thee.
Ut sint oculi tui aperti ad deprecationem servi tui, et populi tui Israel, et exaudias eos in universis pro quibus invocaverint te.
53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thy inheritance, as thou didst speak by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.
Tu enim separasti eos tibi in hereditatem de universis populis terræ, sicut locutus es per Moysen servum tuum, quando eduxisti patres nostros de Ægypto Domine Deus.
54 And it was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
Factum est autem, cum complesset Salomon orans Dominum omnem orationem, et deprecationem hanc, surrexit de conspectu altaris Domini: utrumque enim genu in terram fixerat, et manus expanderat in cælum.
55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
Stetit ergo, et benedixit omni ecclesiæ Israel voce magna, dicens:
56 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
Benedictus Dominus, qui dedit requiem populo suo Israel, iuxta omnia quæ locutus est: non cecidit ne unus quidem sermo ex omnibus bonis, quæ locutus est per Moysen servum suum.
57 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
Sit Dominus Deus noster nobiscum, sicut fuit cum patribus nostris, non derelinquens nos, neque proiiciens.
58 That he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
Sed inclinet corda nostra ad se, ut ambulemus in universis viis eius, et custodiamus mandata eius, et ceremonias eius, et iudicia quæcumque mandavit patribus nostris.
59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
Et sint sermones mei isti, quibus deprecatus sum coram Domino, appropinquantes Domino Deo nostro die ac nocte, ut faciat iudicium servo suo, et populo suo Israel per singulos dies:
60 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
ut sciant omnes populi terræ, quia Dominus ipse est Deus, et non est ultra absque eo.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Sit quoque cor nostrum perfectum cum Domino Deo nostro, ut ambulemus in decretis eius, et custodiamus mandata eius, sicut et hodie.
62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
Igitur rex, et omnis Israel cum eo, immolabant victimas coram Domino.
63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
Mactavitque Salomon hostias pacificas, quas immolavit Domino, boum viginti duo millia, et ovium centum viginti millia: et dedicaverunt templum Domini rex, et filii Israel.
64 The same day did the king consecrate the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
In die illa sanctificavit rex medium atrii, quod erat ante domum Domini: fecit quippe holocaustum ibi, et sacrificium, et adipem pacificorum: quoniam altare æreum, quod erat coram Domino, minus erat, et capere non poterat holocaustum, et sacrificium, et adipem pacificorum.
65 And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance into Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
Fecit ergo Salomon in tempore illo festivitatem celebrem, et omnis Israel cum eo, multitudo magna ab introitu Emath usque ad Rivum Ægypti, coram Domino Deo nostro, septem diebus et septem diebus, id est, quattuordecim diebus.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
Et in die octava dimisit populos: qui benedicentes regi, profecti sunt in tabernacula sua lætantes, et alacri corde super omnibus bonis, quæ fecerat Dominus David servo suo, et Israel populo suo.
