Liber II Paralipomenon

Intulit igitur Salomon omnia quæ voverat David pater suus: argentum, et aurum, et universa vasa posuit in thesauris domus Dei.

Then Solomon brought in all those things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God.

Infer ergo Salomone omni que vove Davide patre suo: argento, et auro, et universa vases pone in thesauros de domo de Deo.

Post quæ congregavit majores natu Israël, et cunctos principes tribuum, et capita familiarum de filiis Israël in Jerusalem, ut adducerent arcam fœderis Domini de civitate David, quæ est Sion.

And after this he gathered together the ancients of Israel and all the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families, of the children of Israel to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion.

Post que congrega magna natu Israële, et cunga principes de tribus, et capites de familias de filios Israële in Ierusalem, ut adduce arca de foedro de Domino de civitate Davide, que es Sione.

Venerunt itaque ad regem omnes viri Israël in die solemni mensis septimi.

And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month.

Omni itaque ad rege viros Israële veni in die solemni de mense de septimo.

Cumque venissent cuncti seniorum Israël, portaverunt Levitæ arcam,

And when all the ancients of Israel were come, the Levites took up the ark,

Cumque cuncta de sene Israële veni, Levitas porta arca,

et intulerunt eam, et omnem paraturam tabernaculi. Porro vasa sanctuarii, quæ erant in tabernaculo, portaverunt sacerdotes cum Levitis.

And brought it in, together with all the furniture of the tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

Et infer illa, et omni paratura de tabernaculo. Porro vases de sanctuario, que es in tabernaculo, porta sacerdotes cum Levitis.

Rex autem Salomon, et universus cœtus Israël, et omnes qui fuerunt congregati ante arcam, immolabant arietes et boves absque ullo numero: tanta enim erat multitudo victimarum.

And king Solomon and all the assembly of Israel and all that were gathered together before the ark, sacrificed rams, and oxen without number: so great was the multitude of the victims.

Rege autem Salomone, et universa coetu Israële, et omni qui es congrega ante arca, immola arietes et boves absque ullo numero: tanto nam es multitudine de victimas.

Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, id est, ad oraculum templi, in Sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubim:

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims:

Et sacerdotes infer arca de foedro de Domino in loco suo, id es, ad oraculo de templo, in Sancto sancto subter alas de cherubes:

ita ut cherubim expanderent alas suas super locum in quo posita erat arca, et ipsam arcam tegerent cum vectibus suis.

So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves.

Ita ut de cherubes expande alas suo super loco in quo pone es arca, et ipso arca tege cum vectes suo.

Vectium autem quibus portabatur arca, quia paululum longiores erant, capita parebant ante oraculum: si vero quis paululum fuisset extrinsecus, eos videre non poterat. Fuit itaque arca ibi usque in præsentem diem.

Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there unto this day.

Vectio autem ad que arca porta, quia paul(l)ulum longo es, capites pare ante oraculo: si vero qui paul(l)ulum es extrinsecus, illos videre non pote. Es itaque arca ibi usque in praesenti die.

Nihilque erat aliud in arca, nisi duæ tabulæ quas posuerat Moyses in Horeb, quando legem dedit Dominus filiis Israël egredientibus ex Ægypto.

And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of Israel, at their coming out of Egypt.

Et nihil es alio in arca, nisi duo tabula Moyse pone que in Horebe, quando Domino da lege ad filios Israële egredior ex Aegypto.

Egressis autem sacerdotibus de sanctuario (omnes enim sacerdotes qui ibi potuerant inveniri, sanctificati sunt: nec adhuc in illo tempore vices et ministeriorum ordo inter eos divisus erat),

Now when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, for all the priests that could be found there, were sanctified: and as yet at that time the courses and orders of the ministries were not divided among them,

Egredior autem sacerdotes de sanctuario (omni nam sacerdotes qui ibi pote inveni, sanctifica es: nec adhuc in illo tempore vices et de ministros ordine inter illos divide es),

tam Levitæ quam cantores, id est, et qui sub Asaph erant, et qui sub Eman, et qui sub Idithun, filii et fratres eorum vestiti byssinis, cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis concrepabant, stantes ad orientalem plagam altaris: et cum eis sacerdotes centum viginti canentes tubis.

Both the Levites and the singing men, that is, both they that were under Asaph, and they that were under Heman, and they that were under Idithun, with their sons, and their brethren, clothed with fine linen, sounded with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing on the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, sounding with trumpets.

Tam Levitas quam cantores, id es, et qui sub Asaph es, et qui sub Emane, et qui sub Idithune, filios et fratres de illos vestie byssinas, cymbale, et psalterios, et citharas concrepa, sta ad orientali plaga de altari: et cum illos sacerdotes cento viginti cane tubos.

Igitur cunctis pariter, et tubis, et voce, et cymbalis, et organis, et diversi generis musicorum concinentibus, et vocem in sublime tollentibus, longe sonitus audiebatur, ita ut cum Dominum laudare cœpissent et dicere: Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus: impleretur domus Dei nube,

So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud.

Ergo cuncta pariter, et tubos, et voce, et cymbale, et organo, et diverso de genere de musicos concine, et voce in sublime tolle, longe sonitu audi, ita ut cum Domino lauda incipe et dicere: confite ad Domino quia bono, quia in aeterno misericordia de illo: domo de Deo imple nube,

nec possent sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter caliginem. Compleverat enim gloria Domini domum Dei.

Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.

Nec sacerdotes pote sta et ministra propter caliga. Gloria nam de Domino comple domo de Deo.
