Liber I Paralipomenon

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

Then David said: This is the house of God, And this is the altar for the holocaust of Israel.

Et Davide dic: hoc es domo de Deo, et hoc altari in holocausto de Israëlo.

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

And he commanded to gather together all the proselytes of the land of Israel, and out of them he appointed stonecutters to hew stones and polish them, to build the house of God.

Et praecipie ut omni proselytos congrega de terra Israële, et constitue ex illos latomos ad caede lapides et polior, ut domo de Deo aedifica.

Ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos januarum, et ad commissuras atque juncturas, præparavit David: et æris pondus innumerabile.

And David prepared in abundance iron for the nails of the gates, and for the closures and joinings: and of brass an immense weight.

Davide etiam maximo ad clavos de ianuas, et ad commissuras et iuncturas, praepara ferro: et de aera pondere innumerabile.

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

And the cedar trees were without number, which the Sidonians, and Tyrians brought to David.

Lignos etiam cedrinas non pote aestima, que deporta Sidone et Tyrios ad Davide.

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 very young and tender, and the house which I would have to be built to the Lord, must be such as to be renowned in all countries: therefore I will prepare him necessaries. And therefore before his death he prepared all the charges.

Et Davide dic: solomone filio meo puero parvulo es et delicata: domo autem, quam aedifica vol ad Domino, tale es debe ut in cuncta regiones nomina: praepara ergo ad illo necessaria. Et ob hoc causa ante morte suo omni praepara impensas.

Vocavitque Salomonem filium suum, et præcepit ei ut ædificaret domum Domino Deo Israël.

And he called for Solomon his son: and commanded him to build a house to the Lord the God of Israel.

Et voca Salomone filio suo, et praecipie ad illo ut aedifica domo ad Domino ad Deo Israële.

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

And David said to Solomon: My son, it was my desire to have built a house to the name of the Lord my God.

Et Davide dic ad Salomone: filio meo, de voluntate meo es ut aedifica domo ad nomine de Domino de Deo meo:

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: Thou hast shed much blood, and fought many battles, so thou cannot not build house to my name, after shedding so much blood before me:

Sed facto es sermone de Domino ad me, dicente: multo sanguine effunde, et multo bellos bella: non pote aedifica domo ad nomine meo, tanto effunde sanguine coram me:

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 Israël cunctis diebus ejus.

The son, that shall be born to thee, shall be a most quiet man: for I will make him rest from all his enemies round about: and therefore he shall be called Peaceable: and I will give peace and quietness to Israel all his days.

Filio qui nasce ad te, es viro quieto: fac nam illo requiesce ab omni inimicos suo per circuitu: et ob hoc causa Pacifica voca: et pace et otio da in Israële cuncta dies de illo.

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

He shall build a house to my name, and he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him: and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

Ipso aedifica domo ad nomine meo, et ipso es ad me in filio, et me es ad illo in patre: et firma solio de regno de illo super Israële in aeterno.

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

Now then, my son, the Lord be with thee, and do thou prosper, and build the house to the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken of thee.

Nunc ergo filio meo, es Domino tecum, et prospera, et aedifica domo ad Domino ad Deo tuo sicut locuto es de te.

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

The Lord also give thee wisdom and understanding, that thou mayest be able to rule Israel, and to keep the law of the Lord thy God.

Domino etiam que da prudentia et sensu ut rege pote Israële, et custodi lege de Domino de Deo tuo.

Tunc enim proficere poteris, si custodieris mandata et judicia quæ præcepit Dominus Moysi ut doceret Israël. Confortare, et viriliter age: ne timeas, neque paveas.

For then thou shalt be able to prosper, if thou keep the commandments, and judgments, which the Lord commanded Moses to teach Israel: take courage and act manfully, fear not, nor be dismayed.

Tunc nam profice pote, si custodi mandatos et iudicios Domino de Moysi praecipie que ut doce Israële. Conforta, et viriliter age: ne time, neque pave.

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.

Behold I in my poverty have prepared the charges of the house of the Lord, of gold a hundred thousand talents, and of silver a million of talents: but of brass, and of iron there is no weight, for the abundance surpasseth all account: timber also and stones I have prepared for all the charges.

Ecce me in paupertate meo praepara impensas de domo de Domino, de auro talentos cento mile, et de argento mile mile de talentos: de aera vero et fer non es pondere, numero nam vince magnitudine; lignos et lapides praepara ad universa impendios.

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

Thou hast also workmen in abundance, hewers of stones, and masons, and carpenters, and of all trades the most skilful in their work,

Habe etiam multo artifices, latomos, et caementario, et artifices de lignos, et de omni de artes ad fac opere prudente,

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

In gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, whereof there is no number. Arise then, and be doing, and the Lord will be with thee.

In auro et argento et aere et ferro, de que non es numero. Surge ergo et fac, et Domino es tecum.

Præcepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israël ut adjuvarent Salomonem filium suum:

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

Davide etiam praecipie cuncta principes Israële ut adiuva Salomone filio suo:

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

Saying: You see, that the Lord your God is with you, and hath given you rest round about, and hath delivered all your enemies into your hands, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people.

Cerne, dic, quod Domino Deo vestro vos es, et da ad vos requie per circuitu, et trade omni inimicos vestro in manus vestro, et subicie es terra coram Domino, et coram populo de illo.

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.

Give therefore your hearts and your souls, to seek the Lord your God and arise, and build a sanctuary to the Lord God, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the vessels consecrated to the Lord, may be brought into the house, which is built to the name of the Lord.

Praebe ergo cordes vestro et animas vestro, ut quaere Domino Deo vestro: et consurge, et aedifica sanctuario ad Domino ad Deo, ut introduce arca de foedro de Domino, et vases ad Domino consecra, in domo que aedifica ad nomine de Domino.
