2 Chronicles 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 He conscripted seventy thousand men to carry stone and eighty thousand to cut the stone in the mountains, and over these he placed three thousand six hundred overseers.	1 και συνηγαγεν σαλωμων εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας ανδρων και ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδας λατομων εν τω ορει και οι επισταται επ' αυτων τρισχιλιοι εξακοσιοι
2 Moreover, Solomon sent this message to Huram, king of Tyre: "As you dealt with my father David, sending him cedars to build a house for his dwelling, so deal with me.	2 και απεστειλεν σαλωμων προς χιραμ βασιλεα τυρου λεγων ως εποιησας μετα του πατρος μου δαυιδ και απεστειλας αυτω κεδρους του οικοδομησαι εαυτω οικον κατοικησαι εν αυτω
3 I intend to build a house for the honor of the LORD, my God, and to consecrate it to him, for the burning of fragrant incense in his presence, for the perpetual display of the showbread, for holocausts morning and evening, and for the sabbaths, new moons, and festivals of the LORD, our God: such is Israel's perpetual obligation.	3 και ιδου εγω ο υιος αυτου οικοδομω οικον τω ονοματι κυριου θεου μου αγιασαι αυτον αυτω του θυμιαν απεναντι αυτου θυμιαμα και προθεσιν δια παντος και του αναφερειν ολοκαυτωματα δια παντος το πρωι και το δειλης και εν τοις σαββατοις και εν ταις νουμηνιαις και εν ταις εορταις του κυριου θεου ημων εις τον αιωνα τουτο επι τον ισραηλ
4 And the house I intend to build must be large, for our God is greater than all other gods.	4 και ο οικος ον εγω οικοδομω μεγας οτι μεγας ο θεος ημων παρα παντας τους θεους
5 Yet who is really able to build him a house, since the heavens and even the highest heavens cannot contain him? And who am I that I should build him a house, unless it be to offer incense in his presence?	5 και τις ισχυσει οικοδομησαι αυτω οικον οτι ο ουρανος και ο ουρανος του ουρανου ου φερουσιν αυτου την δοξαν και τις εγω οικοδομων αυτω οικον οτι αλλ' η του θυμιαν κατεναντι αυτου
6 Now, send me men skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze and iron, in purple, crimson, and violet fabrics, and who know how to do engraved work, to join the craftsmen who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David appointed.	6 και νυν αποστειλον μοι ανδρα σοφον και ειδοτα του ποιησαι εν τω χρυσιω και εν τω αργυριω και εν τω χαλκω και εν τω σιδηρω και εν τη πορφυρα και εν τω κοκκινω και εν τη υακινθω και επισταμενον γλυψαι γλυφην μετα των σοφων των μετ' εμου εν ιουδα και εν ιερουσαλημ ων ητοιμασεν δαυιδ ο πατηρ μου
7 Also send me boards of cedar, cypress and cabinet wood from Lebanon, for I realize that your servants know how to cut the wood of the Lebanon. My servants will labor with yours	7 και αποστειλον μοι ξυλα κεδρινα και αρκευθινα και πευκινα εκ του λιβανου οτι εγω οιδα ως οι δουλοι σου οιδασιν κοπτειν ξυλα εκ του λιβανου και ιδου οι παιδες σου μετα των παιδων μου
8 in order to prepare for me a great quantity of wood, since the house I intend to build must be lofty and wonderful.	8 πορευσονται ετοιμασαι μοι ξυλα εις πληθος οτι ο οικος ον εγω οικοδομω μεγας και ενδοξος
9 I will furnish as food for your servants, the hewers who cut the wood, twenty thousand kors of wheat, twenty thousand kors of barley, twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of oil."	9 και ιδου τοις εργαζομενοις τοις κοπτουσιν ξυλα εις βρωματα δεδωκα σιτον εις δοματα τοις παισιν σου κορων εικοσι χιλιαδας και κριθων κορων εικοσι χιλιαδας και οινου μετρων εικοσι χιλιαδας και ελαιου μετρων εικοσι χιλιαδας
10 Huram, king of Tyre, wrote an answer which he sent to Solomon: "Because the LORD loves his people, he has placed you over them as king."	10 και ειπεν χιραμ βασιλευς τυρου εν γραφη και απεστειλεν προς σαλωμων εν τω αγαπησαι κυριον τον λαον αυτου εδωκεν σε επ' αυτους εις βασιλεα
11 He added: "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, for having given King David a wise son of intelligence and understanding, who will build a house for the LORD and also a house for his royal estate.	11 και ειπεν χιραμ ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ος εποιησεν τον ουρανον και την γην ος εδωκεν τω δαυιδ τω βασιλει υιον σοφον και επισταμενον συνεσιν και επιστημην ος οικοδομησει οικον τω κυριω και οικον τη βασιλεια αυτου
12 I am now sending you a craftsman of great skill, Huram-abi,	12 και νυν απεσταλκα σοι ανδρα σοφον και ειδοτα συνεσιν τον χιραμ τον πατερα μου
13 son of a Danite woman and of a father from Tyre; he knows how to work with gold, silver, bronze and iron, with stone and wood, with purple, violet, fine linen and crimson, and also how to do all kinds of engraved work and to devise every type of artistic work that may be given him and your craftsmen and the craftsmen of my lord David your father.	13 η μητηρ αυτου απο θυγατερων δαν και ο πατηρ αυτου ανηρ τυριος ειδοτα ποιησαι εν χρυσιω και εν αργυριω και εν χαλκω και εν σιδηρω εν λιθοις και ξυλοις και υφαινειν εν τη πορφυρα και εν τη υακινθω και εν τη βυσσω και εν τω κοκκινω και γλυψαι γλυφας και διανοεισθαι πασαν διανοησιν οσα αν δως αυτω μετα των σοφων σου και σοφων δαυιδ κυριου μου πατρος σου
14 And now, let my lord send to his servants the wheat, barley, oil and wine which he has promised.	14 και νυν τον σιτον και την κριθην και το ελαιον και τον οινον α ειπεν ο κυριος μου αποστειλατω τοις παισιν αυτου
15 For our part, we will cut trees on Lebanon, as many as you need, and float them down to you at the port of Joppa, whence you may take them up to Jerusalem."	15 και ημεις κοψομεν ξυλα εκ του λιβανου κατα πασαν την χρειαν σου και αξομεν αυτα σχεδιαις επι θαλασσαν ιοππης και συ αξεις αυτα εις ιερουσαλημ
16 Thereupon Solomon took a census of all the alien men who were in the land of Israel (following the census David his father had taken of them), who were found to number one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.	16 και συνηγαγεν σαλωμων παντας τους ανδρας τους προσηλυτους εν γη ισραηλ μετα τον αριθμον ον ηριθμησεν αυτους δαυιδ ο πατηρ αυτου και ευρεθησαν εκατον πεντηκοντα χιλιαδες και τρισχιλιοι εξακοσιοι
17 Of these he made seventy thousand carriers and eighty thousand cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to keep the people working.	17 και εποιησεν εξ αυτων εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας νωτοφορων και ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδας λατομων και τρισχιλιους εξακοσιους εργοδιωκτας επι τον λαον
