Ii Paralipomenon 8
1 Expletis autem viginti annis postquam ædificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam:
It came about at the end of twenty years, during which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh and his own house,
2 civitates, quas dederat Hiram Salomoni, ædificavit, et habitare ibi fecit filios Israel.
that Solomon rebuilt the towns that Hiram had given to him, and he settled the people of Israel in them.
3 Abiit quoque in Emath Suba, et obtinuit eam.
Solomon attacked Hamathzobah and defeated it.
4 Et ædificavit Palmiram in deserto, et alias civitates munitissimas ædificavit in Emath.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
5 Extruxitque Bethoron superiorem, et Bethoron inferiorem, civitates muratas habentes portas et vectes et seras:
Also he built Beth Horon the Upper and Beth Horon the Lower, cities fortified with walls, gates, and bars.
6 Balaath etiam et omnes urbes firmissimas, quæ fuerunt Salomonis, cunctasque urbes quadrigarum, et urbes equitum. Omnia quæcumque voluit Salomon atque disposuit, ædificavit in Ierusalem et in Libano, et in universa terra potestatis suæ.
He built Baalath and all the store cities that he possessed, and all the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever he wished to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the lands under his rule.
7 Omnem populum, qui derelictus fuerat de Hethæis, et Amorrhæis, et Pherezæis, et Hevæis, et Iebusæis, qui non erant de stirpe Israel,
As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who did not belong to Israel,
8 de filiis eorum: et de posteris, quos non interfecerant filii Israel, subiugavit Salomon in tributarios, usque in diem hanc.
their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed—Solomon made them into forced laborers, which they are to this day.
9 Porro de filiis Israel non posuit ut servirent operibus regis: ipsi enim erant viri bellatores, et duces primi, et principes quadrigarum et equitum eius.
However, Solomon made no forced laborers of the people of Israel. Instead, they became his soldiers, his commanders, his officers, and commanders of his chariot forces and his horsemen.
10 Omnes autem principes exercitus regis Salomonis fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta, qui erudiebant populum.
These were also the chief officers managing the supervisors who belonged to King Solomon, 250 of them, who supervised the people who did the work.
11 Filiam vero Pharaonis transtulit de Civitate David in domum, quam ædificaverat ei. Dixit enim rex: Non habitabit uxor mea in domo David regis Israel, eo quod sanctificata sit: quia ingressa est in eam arca Domini.
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because wherever the ark of Yahweh has come is holy.”
12 Tunc obtulit Salomon holocausta Domino super altare Domini, quod extruxerat ante porticum,
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on his altar that he had built in front of the portico.
13 ut per singulos dies offerretur in eo iuxta præceptum Moysi in Sabbatis et in calendis, et in festis diebus, ter per annum, id est, in sollemnitate azymorum, et in sollemnitatem hebdomadarum, et in sollemnitate tabernaculorum.
He offered sacrifices just as the daily schedule required; he offered them, following the directions found in the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbath days, the new moons, and on the set festivals three times every year: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
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 præceperat David homo Dei.
In keeping with the decrees of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests to their work, and the Levites to their positions, in order to praise God and to serve before the priests, as the daily schedule required. He also appointed the gatekeepers by their divisions to every gate, for David, the man of God, had also commanded this.
15 Nec prætergressi sunt de mandatis regis tam Sacerdotes, quam Levitæ ex omnibus, quæ præceperat, et in custodiis thesaurorum.
These people did not deviate from the commands of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the storerooms.
16 Omnes impensas præparatas habuit Salomon ex eo die, quo fundavit domum Domini usque in diem, quo perfecit eam.
All the work ordered by Solomon was completed, from the day the foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid until it was finished. The house of Yahweh was completed.
17 Tunc abiit Salomon in Asiongaber, et in Ailath ad oram Maris Rubri, quæ est in Terra Edom.
Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and then to Elath on the coast, in the land of Edom.
18 Misit autem ei Hiram per manus servorum suorum naves, et nautas gnaros maris, et abierunt cum servis Salomonis in Ophir, tuleruntque inde quadringenta quinquaginta talenta auri, et attulerunt ad regem Salomonem.
Hiram sent him ships commanded by his own officers, men who knew the sea, and with the servants of Solomon they went to Ophir and they took from there 450 talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.
