Liber I Paralipomenon

Convocavit igitur David omnes principes Israël, duces tribuum, et præpositos turmarum, qui ministrabant regi: tribunos quoque et centuriones, et qui præerant substantiæ et possessionibus regis, filiosque suos cum eunuchis, et potentes et robustissimos quosque in exercitu Jerusalem.

And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king: and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of the army at Jerusalem.

Convoca ergo Davide omni principes Israële, duces de tribus, et praepone de turmas, qui ministra ad rege: tribunos etiam et centuriones, et qui praesume de substantia et possessiones de rege, et filios suo cum eunuchos, et potente et robusta et que in exercitu Ierusalem.

Cumque surrexisset rex, et stetisset, ait: Audite me, fratres mei et populus meus: cogitavi ut ædificarem domum, in qua requiesceret arca fœderis Domini, et scabellum pedum Dei nostri: et ad ædificandum, omnia præparavi.

And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and prepared all things for the building.

Cumque rege surge, et sta, dic: audi me, fratres meo et populo meo: cogita ut aedifica domo, in quo requiesce arca de foedro de Domino, et scabello de pedes de Deo nostro: et ad aedifica, omni praepara.

Deus autem dixit mihi: Non ædificabis domum nomini meo, eo quod sis vir bellator, et sanguinem fuderis.

And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

Deo autem dic ad me: non aedifica domo ad nomine meo, eo quod es viro bellatore, et sanguine funde.

Sed elegit Dominus Deus Israël me de universa domo patris mei, ut essem rex super Israël in sempiternum: de Juda enim elegit principes: porro de domo Juda, domum patris mei, et de filiis patris mei placuit ei ut me eligeret regem super cunctum Israël.

But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father's house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.

Sed Domino elige Deo Israële me de universa domo de patre meo, ut es rege super Israële in sempiterno: de Iuda nam elige principes: porro de domo Iuda, domo de patre meo, et de filios de patre meo place ad illo ut me elige rege super cuncta Israële.

Sed et de filiis meis (filios enim mihi multos dedit Dominus) elegit Salomonem filium meum ut sederet in throno regni Domini super Israël,

And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

Sed et de filios meo (filios nam ad me multo da Domino) elige Salomone filio meo ut sede in throno de regno de Domino super Israële,

dixitque mihi: Salomon filius tuus ædificabit domum meam, et atria mea: ipsum enim elegi mihi in filium, et ego ero ei in patrem.

And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.

Et dic ad me: salomone filio tuo aedifica domo meo, et atrios meo: ipso nam elige ad me in filio, et me es ad illo in patre.

Et firmabo regnum ejus usque in æternum, si perseveraverit facere præcepta mea et judicia, sicut et hodie.

And I will establish his kingdom for ever, it he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.

Et firma regno de illo usque in aeterno, si persevera facere praeceptos meo et iudicios, sicut et hodie.

Nunc ergo coram universo cœtu Israël audiente Deo nostro, custodite, et perquirite cuncta mandata Domini Dei nostri: ut possideatis terram bonam, et relinquatis eam filiis vestris post vos usque in sempiternum.

Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.

Nunc ergo coram universa coetu Israële audi Deo nostro, custodi, et perquire cuncta mandatos de Domino de Deo nostro: ut posside terra bono, et relinque illa ad filios vestro post vos usque in sempiterno.

Tu autem, Salomon fili mi, scito Deum patris tui, et servito ei corde perfecto, animo voluntario: omnia enim corda scrutatur Dominus, et universas mentium cogitationes intelligit. Si quæsieris eum, invenies: si autem dereliqueris eum, projiciet te in æternum.

And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

Te autem, Salomone filio meo, sci Deo de patre tuo, et servi ad illo corde perfice, animo voluntario: omni nam cordes scrutor Domino, et universa de menses cogitationes intellege. Si quaere illo, inveni: si autem derelinque illo, proiici te in aeterno.

Nunc ergo quia elegit te Dominus ut ædificares domum sanctuarii, confortare, et perfice.

Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.

Nunc ergo quia Domino elige te ut aedifica domo de sanctuario, conforta, et perfice.

Dedit autem David Salomoni filio suo descriptionem porticus, et templi, et cellariorum, et cœnaculi, et cubiculorum in adytis, et domus propitiationis,

And David gave to Solomon his son a description of the porch, and of the temple, and of the treasures, and of the upper floor, and of the inner chambers, and of the house for the mercy seat,

Davide autem da ad Salomone ad filio suo descriptione de porticu, et de templo, et de cellarios, et de coenaculo, et de cubiculos in adyses, et de domo de propitiatio,

necnon et omnium quæ cogitaverat atriorum et exedrarum per circuitum in thesauros domus Domini, et in thesauros sanctorum,

As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord, and for the treasures of the consecrated things,

Necnon et de omni que cogita de atrios et de exedras per circuitu in thesauros de domo de Domino, et in thesauros sancto,

divisionumque sacerdotalium et Leviticarum, in omnia opera domus Domini, et in universa vasa ministerii templi Domini.

And of the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, for all the works of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the service of the temple of the Lord.

Et de divisiones sacerdotali et de Levitico, in omni operes domo de Domino, et in universa vases de ministerio de templo de Domino.

Aurum in pondere per singula vasa ministerii. Argenti quoque pondus pro vasorum et operum diversitate.

Gold by weight for every vessel for the ministry. And silver by weight according to the diversity of the vessels and uses.

Auro in pondere per singulo vases de ministerio. De argento etiam pondere pro vases et de operes diversitate.

Sed et in candelabra aurea, et ad lucernas eorum, aurum pro mensura uniuscujusque candelabri et lucernarum. Similiter et in candelabra argentea, et in lucernas eorum, pro diversitate mensuræ, pondus argenti tradidit.

He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps, according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof. In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the dimensions of them.

Sed et in candelabros aurea, et ad lucernas de illos, auro pro mensura et unusquis de candelabro et de lucernas. Similiter et in candelabros argenteo, et in lucernas de illos, pro diversitate de mensura, pondere de argento trade.

Aurum quoque dedit in mensas propositionis pro diversitate mensarum: similiter et argentum in alias mensas argenteas.

He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of silver.

Auro etiam da in mensas de propositione pro diversitate de mensas: similiter et argento in alio mensas argenteo.

Ad fuscinulas quoque, et phialas, et thuribula ex auro purissimo, et leunculos aureos pro qualitate mensuræ pondus distribuit in leunculum et leunculum. Similiter et in leones argenteos diversum argenti pondus separavit.

For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censors of fine gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a different weight of silver.

Ad fuscinulas etiam, et phialas, et thuribulas ex auro purissimo, et leunculos aurea pro qualitate de mensura pondere distribue in leunculo et leunculo. Similiter et in leones argenteo diverso de argento pondere separa.

Altari autem, in quo adoletur incensum, aurum purissimum dedit: ut ex ipso fieret similitudo quadrigæ cherubim extendentium alas, et velantium arcam fœderis Domini.

And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings, and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

Altari autem, in quo adole incende, auro purissimo da: ut ex ipso similitudine de quadriga de cherubes extendentium alas fi, et vela arca de foedro de Domino.

Omnia, inquit, venerunt scripta manu Domini ad me, ut intelligerem universa opera exemplaris.

All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern.

Omni, dic, veni scribe manu de Domino ad me, ut intellege universa operes de exemplare.

Dixit quoque David Salomoni filio suo: Viriliter age, et confortare, et fac: ne timeas, et ne paveas: Dominus enim Deus meus tecum erit, et non dimittet te nec derelinquet, donec perficias omne opus ministerii domus Domini.

And David said to Solomon his son: Act like a man, and take courage, and do: fear not, and be not dismayed: for the Lord my God will be with thee, and will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, till thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

Davide etiam dic ad Salomone ad filio suo: viriliter age, et conforta, et fac: ne time, et ne pave: domino nam Deo meo tecum es, et non dimitte te nec derelinque, usque que perfice omni opere de ministerio de domo de Domino.

Ecce divisiones sacerdotum et Levitarum: in omne ministerium domus Domini assistunt tibi, et parati sunt, et noverunt tam principes quam populus facere omnia præcepta tua.

Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, stand by thee, and are ready, and both the princes, and the people know how to execute all thy commandments.

Ecce divisiones de sacerdotes et de Levites: in omni ministerio de domo de Domino assiste ad te, et para es, et tam principes quam populo facere omni praeceptos tuo nosce.
