Liber III Regum

Factum est autem cum perfecisset Salomon ædificium domus Domini, et ædificium regis, et omne quod optaverat et voluerat facere,

And it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all that he desired and was pleased to do,

Facto es autem cum perfice Salomone aedificio domo de Domino, et aedificio de rege, et omni quod opta et vol facere,

apparuit ei Dominus secundo, sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.

That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon.

Domino ad illo appare secundo, sicut appare ad illo in Gabaone.

Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam, quam deprecatus es coram me: sanctificavi domum hanc quam ædificasti, ut ponerem nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et erunt oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.

And the Lord said to him: I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, which thou hast made before me: I have sanctified this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes, and my heart, shall be there always.

Et dic Domino ad illo: de exaudivo oratione tuo et deprecatione tuo, quam depreca es coram me: sanctifica domo hoc quam aedifica, ut pone nomine meo ibi in sempiterno, et oculos meo es et corde meo ibi cuncta dies.

Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me sicut ambulavit pater tuus, in simplicitate cordis et in æquitate, et feceris omnia quæ præcepi tibi, et legitima mea et judicia mea servaveris,

And if thou wilt walk before me, as thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness: and wilt do all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my ordinances, and my judgments,

Te etiam si ambula coram me sicut patre tuo ambula, in simplicitate de corde et in aequitate, et fac omni que praecipie ad te, et legitima meo et iudicios meo serva,

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

I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised David, thy father, saying: There shall not fail a man of thy race upon the throne of Israel.

Pone throno de regno tuo super Israële in sempiterno, sicut locuto es Davide ad patre tuo, dicente: non viro aufer de genere tuo de solio Israële.

Si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri, non sequentes me, nec custodientes mandata mea et cæremonias meas quas proposui vobis, sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos, et adoraveritis eos:

But if you and your children, revolting, shall turn away from following me, and will not keep my commandments, and my ceremonies, which I have set before you, but will go and worship strange gods, and adore them:

Si autem aversione averte es vos et filios vestro, non seque me, nec custodi mandatos meo et caeremonias meo que propone ad vos, sed i ab et cole deos aliena, et adora illos:

auferam Israël de superficie terræ quam dedi eis, et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo, projiciam a conspectu meo: eritque Israël in proverbium, et in fabulam cunctis populis.

I will take away Israel from the face of the land which I have given them; and the temple which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb, and a byword among all people.

Aufer Israële de superficie de terra quam da ad illos, et templo quod sanctifica ad nomine meo, proiicia ab conspectu meo: et es Israële in proverbio, et in fabula cuncta populos.

Et domus hæc erit in exemplum: omnis qui transierit per eam, stupebit, et sibilabit, et dicet: Quare fecit Dominus sic terræ huic, et domui huic?

And this house shall be made an example of: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

Et domo hoc es in exemplo: omni qui transi per illa, stupe, et sibila, et dic: quare Domino fac sic de terra ad hoc, et ad domo ad hoc?

Et respondebunt: Quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum suum, qui eduxit patres eorum de terra Ægypti, 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 the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and followed strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.

Et responde: quia derelinque Domino Deo suo, qui educe patres de illos de terra de Aegypto, et seque es deos aliena, et adora illos, et cole illos: ergo Domino induce super illos omni malo hoc.

Expletis autem annis viginti postquam ædificaverat Salomon duas domos, id est, domum Domini, et domum regis

And when twenty years were ended, after Solomon had built the two houses; that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,

Exple autem annos viginti postquam Salomone aedifica duo domo, id es, domo de Domino, et domo de rege

(Hiram rege Tyri præbente Salomoni ligna cedrina et abiegna, et aurum juxta omne quod opus habuerat), tunc dedit Salomon Hiram viginti oppida in terra Galilææ.

(Hiram, the king of Tyre, furnishing Solomon with cedar trees, and fir trees, and gold, according to all he had need of) then Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

(De hirase rege de Tyro praebe ad Salomone lignos cedrinas et abiegnas, et auro juxta omni quod habe opere), tunc Salomone Hirase da viginti oppidos in terra de Galilaea.

Et egressus est Hiram de Tyro ut videret oppida quæ dederat ei Salomon, et non placuerunt ei.

And Hiram came out of Tyre, to see the towns which Solomon had given him, and they pleased him not;

Et egredior es Hirase de Tyro ut vide oppidos Salomone da ad illo que, et non place ad illo.

Et ait: Hæccine sunt civitates quas dedisti mihi, frater? Et appellavit eas terram Chabul, usque in diem hanc.

And he said: Are these the cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them the land of Chabul, unto this day.

Et dic: haeccine es civitates fratre da ad me, que? Et appella illas terra Chabule, usque in die hoc.

Misit quoque Hiram ad regem Salomonem centum viginti talenta auri.

And Hiram sent to king Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold.

Mitte etiam Hirase ad rege Salomone cento viginti talentos de auro.

Hæc est summa expensarum quam obtulit rex Salomon ad ædificandam domum Domini et domum suam, et Mello, et murum Jerusalem, et Heser, et Mageddo, et Gazer.

This is the sum of the expenses, which king Solomon offered to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Mello, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Heser, and Mageddo, and Gazer.

Hoc es summo de expensaros rege offer quam Salomone ad aedifica domo de Domino et domo suo, et Mello, et muro Ierusalem, et Hesro, et Mageddo, et Gazro.

Pharao rex Ægypti ascendit, et cepit Gazar, succenditque eam igni, et Chananæum, qui habitabat in civitate, interfecit: et dedit eam in dotem filiæ suæ uxori Salomonis.

Pharao, the king of Egypt, came up and took Gazer, and burnt it with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

Pharao rege de Aegypto ascende, et cape Gazare, et succende illa igni, et Chananaeo, qui habita in civitate, interfice: et da illa in dote de filia suo ad uxore de Salomone.

Ædificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,

So Solomon built Gazer, and Bethhoron the nether,

Dedifica ergo Salomone Gazro, et Bethorone inferiori,

et Balaath, et Palmiram in terra solitudinis.

And Baalath, and Palmira, in the land of the wilderness.

Et Balaath, et Palmira in terra de solitudine.

Et omnes vicos qui ad se pertinebant et erant absque muro, munivit, et civitates curruum et civitates equitum, et quodcumque ei placuit ut ædificaret in Jerusalem, et in Libano, et in omni terra potestatis suæ.

And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified; the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.

Et omni vicos qui ad se pertine et es absque muro, munie, et civitates de currus et civitates de equites, et omni ad illo place ut aedifica in Ierusalem, et in Libano, et in omni terra de potestate suo.

Universum populum qui remanserat de Amorrhæis, et Hethæis, et Pherezæis, et Hevæis, et Jebusæis, qui non sunt de filiis Israël:

All the people that were left of the Amorrhites, and Hethites, and Pherezites, and Hevites, and Jebusites, that are not of the children of Israel:

Universa populo qui remane de Amorrhaeas, et Hethaeis, et Pherezaeas, et Hevaeis, et Iebusaeis, qui non es de filios Israële:

horum filios qui remanserant in terra, quos scilicet non potuerant filii Israël exterminare, fecit Salomon tributarios usque in diem hanc.

Their children, that were left in the land; to wit, such as the children of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary unto this day.

De hoc filios qui remane in terra, filios id es non Israële pote que extermina, fac Salomone tributario usque in die hoc.

De filiis autem Israël non constituit Salomon servire quemquam, sed erant viri bellatores, et ministri ejus, et principes, et duces, et præfecti curruum et equorum.

But of the children of Israel, Solomon made not any to be bondmen, but they were warriors, and his servants, and his princes, and captains, and overseers of the chariots and horses.

De filios autem Israële non constitue Salomone servi ullo, sed es viros bellatores, et ministros de illo, et principes, et duces, et praefectos de currus et de equos.

Erant autem principes super omnia opera Salomonis præpositi quingenti quinquaginta, qui habebant subjectum populum, et statutis operibus imperabant.

And there were five hundred and fifty chief officers set over all the works of Solomon, and they had people under them, and had charge over the appointed works.

Es autem principes super omni operes de Salomone praepone quingenti quinquaginta, qui habe subicie populo, et statue operes impera.

Filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam, quam ædificaverat ei Salomon: tunc ædificavit Mello.

And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello.

Filia autem de Pharaone ascende de civitate Davide in domo suo, Salomone aedifica ad illo quam: tunc aedifica Mello.

Offerebat quoque Salomon, tribus vicibus per annos singulos, holocausta et pacificas victimas super altare quod ædificaverat Domino, et adolebat thymiama coram Domino: perfectumque est templum.

Solomon also offered three times every year holocausts, and victims of peace offerings, upon the altar which he had built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord: and the temple was finished.

Salomone etiam offer, tre vice per annos singulo, holocaustas et pacificas victimas super altari quod aedifica ad Domino, et adole thymiamate coram Domino: et perfice es templo.

Classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber, quæ est juxta Ailath in littore maris Rubri, in terra Idumææ.

And king Solomon made a fleet in Asiongaber, which is by Ailath, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

Rege etiam Salomone fac classe in Asiongaber, que es juxta Ailath in littore de mari de Rubro, in terra de Idumaea.

Misitque Hiram in classe illa servos suos viros nauticos et gnaros maris, cum servis Salomonis.

And Hiram sent his servants in the fleet, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

Et Hirase mitte in classe illa servos suo viros nautico et gnaros de mari, cum servos de Salomone.

Qui cum venissent in Ophir, sumptum inde aurum quadringentorum viginti talentorum, detulerunt ad regem Salomonem.

And they came to Ophir; and they brought from thence to king Solomon four hundred and twenty talents of gold.

Qui cum veni in Ophir, sumptu inde auro quadringenti viginti de talentos, defer ad rege Salomone.
