I Paralipomenon 22

1 Dixitque David: Hæc est domus Dei, et hoc altare in holocaustum Israeli.

Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

2 Et præcepit ut congregarentur omnes proselyti de Terra Israel, et constituit ex eis latomos ad cædendos lapides et poliendos, ut ædificaretur domus Dei.

And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set stone workers to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

3 Ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos ianuarum, et ad commissuras atque iuncturas præparavit David: et æris pondus innumerabile.

And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

4 Ligna quoque cedrina non poterant æstimari, quæ Sidonii, et Tyrii deportaverant ad David.

Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

5 Et dixit David: Solomon filius meus puer parvulus est et delicatus; domus autem, quam ædificari volo Domino, talis esse debet ut in cunctis regionibus nominetur: præparabo ergo ei necessaria. Et ob hanc causam ante mortem suam omnes præparavit impensas.

And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

6 Vocavitque Salomonem filium suum: et præcepit ei ut ædificaret domum Domino Deo Israel.

Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

7 Dixitque David ad Salomonem: Fili mi, voluntatis meæ fuit ut ædificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei,

And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

8 sed factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: Multum sanguinem effudisti, et plurima bella bellasti: non poteris ædificare domum nomini meo, tanto effuso sanguine coram me:

But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars: you shall not build an house unto my name, because you have shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

9 filius, qui nascetur tibi, erit vir quietissimus: faciam enim eum requiescere ab omnibus inimicis suis per circuitum: et ob hanc causam Pacificus vocabitur: et pacem et otium dabo in Israel cunctis diebus eius.

Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

10 Ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo, et ipse erit mihi in filium, et ego ero illi in patrem: firmaboque solium regni eius super Israel in æternum.

He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

11 Nunc ergo fili mi, sit Dominus tecum, et prosperare, et ædifica domum Domino Deo tuo, sicut locutus est de te.

Now, my son, the LORD be with you; and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has said of you.

12 Det quoque Dominus prudentiam et sensum, ut regere possis Israel, et custodire legem Domini Dei tui.

Only the LORD give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.

13 Tunc enim proficere poteris, si custodieris mandata, et iudicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Moysi ut doceret Israel: confortare et virilter age, ne timeas, neque paveas.

Then shall you prosper, if you take heed to fulfill the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

14 Ecce ego in paupertate mea præparavi impensas domus Domini, auri talenta centum millia, et argenti mille millia talentorum: æris vero, et ferri non est pondus, vincitur enim numerus magnitudine: ligna et lapides præparavi ad universa impendia.

Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and you may add thereto.

15 Habes quoque plurimos artifices, latomos, et cæmentarios, artificesque lignorum, et omnium artium ad faciendum opus prudentissimos,

Moreover there are workmen with you in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.

16 in auro et argento et ære et ferro, cuius non est numerus. Surge igitur, et fac, et erit Dominus tecum.

Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with you.

17 Præcepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israel, ut adiuvarent Salomonem filium suum.

David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

18 Cernitis, inquiens, quod Dominus Deus vester vobiscum sit, et dederit vobis requiem per circuitum, et tradiderit omnes inimicos vestros in manus vestras, et subiecta sit terra coram Domino, et coram populo eius.

Is not the LORD your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for he has given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

19 Præbete igitur corda vestra et animas vestras, ut quæratis Dominum Deum vestrum: et consurgite, et ædificate sanctuarium Domino Deo, ut introducatur arca fœderis Domini, et vasa Domino consecrata, in domum, quæ ædificatur nomini Domini.

Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build all of you the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
