Liber II Paralipomenon, 8

1. Expletis autem viginti annis, postquam aedificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam,

1. At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house,

2. civitates, quas dederat Hiram Salomoni, aedificavit et habitare ibi fecit filios Israel.

2. Solomon rebuilt the cities which Huram had given to him, and settled the people of Israel in them.

3. Abiit quoque in Emath Soba et obtinuit eam.

3. And Solomon went to Ha'math-zo'bah, and took it.

4. Et aedificavit Palmyram in deserto et omnes civitates horreorum, quas aedificavit in Emath.

4. He built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the store-cities which he built in Hamath.

5. Exstruxitque Bethoron superiorem et Bethoron inferiorem, civitates munitas habentes muros et portas et vectes,

5. He also built Upper Beth-hor'on and Lower Beth-hor'on, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

6. Baalath etiam et omnes urbes horreorum, quae fuerunt Salomonis, cunctasque urbes quadrigarum et urbes equorum. Omnia quaecumque voluit Salomon atque disposuit, aedificavit in Ierusalem et in Libano et in universa terra potestatis suae.

6. and Ba'alath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

7. Omnem populum, qui derelictus fuerat de Hetthaeis et Amorraeis et Pherezaeis et Hevaeis et Iebusaeis, qui non erant de stirpe Israel,

7. All the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites, who were not of Israel,

8. de filiis eorum, qui remanserant post eos in terra, quos non interfecerant filii Israel, subiugavit Salomon in tributarios usque in diem hanc.

8. from their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed -- these Solomon made a forced levy and so they are to this day.

9. Porro de filiis Israel non posuit, ut servirent operibus regis; ipsi enim erant viri bellatores et principes pugnatorum eius et principes quadrigarum et equitum eius.

9. But of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves for his work; they were soldiers, and his officers, the commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen.

10. Omnes autem principes praefectorum regis Salomonis fuerunt ducenti quinquaginta, qui praefuerant populo.

10. And these were the chief officers of King Solomon, two hundred and fifty, who exercised authority over the people.

11. Filiam vero pharaonis transtulit de civitate David in domum, quam aedificaverat ei; dixit enim rex: “Non habitabit mulier mihi in domo David regis Israel, eo quod sanctificata sit, quia ingressa est in eam arca Domini”.

11. Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not live in the house of David king of Israel, for the places to which the ark of the LORD has come are holy."

12. Tunc obtulit Salomon holocausta Domino super altare Domini, quod exstruxerat ante porticum,

12. Then Solomon offered up burnt offerings to the LORD upon the altar of the LORD which he had built before the vestibule,

13. ut per singulos dies offerretur in eo iuxta praeceptum Moysi in sabbatis et in calendis et in festis diebus ter per annum, id est in sollemnitate Azymorum et in sollemnitate Hebdomadarum et in sollemnitate Tabernaculorum.

13. as the duty of each day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the three annual feasts -- the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tabernacles.

14. Et constituit iuxta dispositionem David patris sui officia sacerdotum in ministeriis suis et Levitas in ordine suo, ut laudarent et ministrarent coram sacerdotibus iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei, et ianitores in divisionibus suis per portam et portam; sic enim praeceperat David homo Dei.

14. According to the ordinance of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their offices of praise and ministry before the priests as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers in their divisions for the several gates; for so David the man of God had commanded.

15. Nec praetergressi sunt mandata regis de sacerdotibus et Levitis in omnibus et in custodiis thesaurorum.

15. And they did not turn aside from what the king had commanded the priests and Levites concerning any matter and concerning the treasuries.

16. Et firmatum est totum opus Salomonis ex eo die, quo fundavit domum Domini, usque in diem, quo perfecit eam.

16. Thus was accomplished all the work of Solomon from the day the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.

17. Tunc abiit Salomon in Asiongaber et in Ailath ad oram maris Rubri, quae est in terra Edom.

17. Then Solomon went to E'zion-ge'ber and Eloth on the shore of the sea, in the land of Edom.

18. Misit autem ei Hiram per manus servorum suorum naves et nautas gnaros maris; et abierunt cum servis Salomonis in Ophir tuleruntque inde quadringenta quinquaginta talenta auri et attulerunt ad regem Salomonem.

18. And Huram sent him by his servants ships and servants familiar with the sea, and they went to Ophir together with the servants of Solomon, and fetched from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.
