LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και ως συνετελεσεν σαλωμων προσευχομενος και το πυρ κατεβη εκ του ουρανου και κατεφαγεν τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας θυσιας και δοξα κυριου επλησεν τον οικον	1 And when Solomon had completed pouring out his prayers, fire descended from heaven, and it devoured the holocausts and the victims. And the majesty of the Lord filled the house.
2 και ουκ ηδυναντο οι ιερεις εισελθειν εις τον οικον κυριου εν τω καιρω εκεινω οτι επλησεν δοξα κυριου τον οικον	2 Neither were the priests able to enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.
3 και παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ εωρων καταβαινον το πυρ και η δοξα κυριου επι τον οικον και επεσον επι προσωπον επι την γην επι το λιθοστρωτον και προσεκυνησαν και ηνουν τω κυριω οτι αγαθον οτι εις τον αιωνα το ελεος αυτου	3 Moreover, all the sons of Israel saw the fire descending, and the glory of the Lord upon the house. And falling prone upon the ground, on the layer of pavement stones, they adored and praised the Lord: “For he is good. For his mercy is everlasting.”
4 και ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος θυοντες θυματα εναντι κυριου	4 Then the king and all the people were immolating victims before the Lord.
5 και εθυσιασεν σαλωμων την θυσιαν μοσχων εικοσι και δυο χιλιαδας και βοσκηματων εκατον και εικοσι χιλιαδας και ενεκαινισεν τον οικον του θεου ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος	5 And so, king Solomon slaughtered victims: twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred twenty thousand rams. And the king and the entire people dedicated the house of God.
6 και οι ιερεις επι τας φυλακας αυτων εστηκοτες και οι λευιται εν οργανοις ωδων κυριου του δαυιδ του βασιλεως του εξομολογεισθαι εναντι κυριου οτι εις τον αιωνα το ελεος αυτου εν υμνοις δαυιδ δια χειρος αυτων και οι ιερεις σαλπιζοντες ταις σαλπιγξιν εναντιον αυτων και πας ισραηλ εστηκως	6 Then the priests and the Levites were standing in their offices, with the instruments of music for the Lord, which king David made in order to praise the Lord: “For his mercy is eternal.” And they were playing the hymns of David with their hands. And the priests were sounding out with trumpets before them, and all of Israel was standing.
7 και ηγιασεν σαλωμων το μεσον της αυλης της εν οικω κυριου οτι εποιησεν εκει τα ολοκαυτωματα και τα στεατα των σωτηριων οτι το θυσιαστηριον το χαλκουν ο εποιησεν σαλωμων ουκ εξεποιει δεξασθαι τα ολοκαυτωματα και τα μαναα και τα στεατα	7 Also, Solomon sanctified the middle of the atrium in front of the temple of the Lord. For he had offered the holocausts and the fat of peace offerings in that place because the bronze altar, which he had made, had not been able to support the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat.
8 και εποιησεν σαλωμων την εορτην εν τω καιρω εκεινω επτα ημεραις και πας ισραηλ μετ' αυτου εκκλησια μεγαλη σφοδρα απο εισοδου αιμαθ και εως χειμαρρου αιγυπτου	8 Therefore, Solomon kept the solemnity, at that time, for seven days, and all of Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath, even to the torrent of Egypt.
9 και εποιησεν εν τη ημερα τη ογδοη εξοδιον οτι εγκαινισμον του θυσιαστηριου εποιησεν επτα ημερας εορτην	9 And on the eighth day, he held a solemn gathering, because he had dedicated the altar over seven days, and he had celebrated the solemnity over seven days.
10 και εν τη τριτη και εικοστη του μηνος του εβδομου απεστειλεν τον λαον εις τα σκηνωματα αυτων ευφραινομενους και αγαθη καρδια επι τοις αγαθοις οις εποιησεν κυριος τω δαυιδ και τω σαλωμων και τω ισραηλ λαω αυτου	10 And so, on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he dismissed the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad over the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for his people Israel.
11 και συνετελεσεν σαλωμων τον οικον κυριου και τον οικον του βασιλεως και παντα οσα ηθελησεν εν τη ψυχη σαλωμων του ποιησαι εν οικω κυριου και εν οικω αυτου ευοδωθη	11 And Solomon completed the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, and all that he had resolved in his heart to do for the house of the Lord, and for his own house. And he prospered.
12 και ωφθη ο θεος τω σαλωμων την νυκτα και ειπεν αυτω ηκουσα της προσευχης σου και εξελεξαμην εν τω τοπω τουτω εμαυτω εις οικον θυσιας	12 Then the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
13 εαν συσχω τον ουρανον και μη γενηται υετος και εαν εντειλωμαι τη ακριδι καταφαγειν το ξυλον και εαν αποστειλω θανατον εν τω λαω μου	13 If I close up heaven, so that no rain will fall, or if I order and instruct the locust to devour the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people,
14 και εαν εντραπη ο λαος μου εφ' ους το ονομα μου επικεκληται επ' αυτους και προσευξωνται και ζητησωσιν το προσωπον μου και αποστρεψωσιν απο των οδων αυτων των πονηρων και εγω εισακουσομαι εκ του ουρανου και ιλεως εσομαι ταις αμαρτιαις αυτων και ιασομαι την γην αυτων	14 and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.
15 νυν οι οφθαλμοι μου εσονται ανεωγμενοι και τα ωτα μου επηκοα τη προσευχη του τοπου τουτου	15 Also, my eyes will be open, and my ears will be attentive, to the prayer of him who shall pray in this place.
16 και νυν εξελεξαμην και ηγιακα τον οικον τουτον του ειναι ονομα μου εκει εως αιωνος και εσονται οι οφθαλμοι μου και η καρδια μου εκει πασας τας ημερας	16 For I have chosen and sanctified this place, so that my name may be there continually, and so that my eyes and my heart may remain there, for all days.
17 και συ εαν πορευθης εναντιον μου ως δαυιδ ο πατηρ σου και ποιησης κατα παντα α ενετειλαμην σοι και τα προσταγματα μου και τα κριματα μου φυλαξη	17 And as for you, if you will walk before me, just as your father David walked, and if you will act in accord with all that I have instructed you, and if you will observe my justices and judgments,
18 και αναστησω τον θρονον της βασιλειας σου ως διεθεμην δαυιδ τω πατρι σου λεγων ουκ εξαρθησεται σοι ανηρ ηγουμενος εν ισραηλ	18 I will raise up the throne of your kingdom, just as I promised to your father David, saying: ‘There shall not be taken away a man from your stock who will be ruler in Israel.’
19 και εαν αποστρεψητε υμεις και εγκαταλιπητε τα προσταγματα μου και τας εντολας μου ας εδωκα εναντιον υμων και πορευθητε και λατρευσητε θεοις ετεροις και προσκυνησητε αυτοις	19 But if you will have turned away, and will have forsaken my justices and my precepts, which I have set before you, and going astray, you serve strange gods, and you adore them,
20 και εξαρω υμας απο της γης ης εδωκα αυτοις και τον οικον τουτον ον ηγιασα τω ονοματι μου αποστρεψω εκ προσωπου μου και δωσω αυτον εις παραβολην και εις διηγημα εν πασιν τοις εθνεσιν	20 I will uproot you from my land, which I gave to you, and from this house, which I sanctified to my name, and I will cast it away from before my face, and I will deliver it to be a parable and an example for all the peoples.
21 και ο οικος ουτος ο υψηλος πας ο διαπορευομενος αυτον εκστησεται και ερει χαριν τινος εποιησεν κυριος τη γη ταυτη και τω οικω τουτω	21 And this house will be like a proverb to all who pass by. And being astonished, they shall say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land and toward this house?’
22 και ερουσιν διοτι εγκατελιπον κυριον τον θεον των πατερων αυτων τον εξαγαγοντα αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου και αντελαβοντο θεων ετερων και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και εδουλευσαν αυτοις δια τουτο επηγαγεν επ' αυτους πασαν την κακιαν ταυτην	22 And they shall respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who led them away from the land of Egypt, and they took hold of foreign gods, and they adored and worshipped them. Therefore, all these evils have overwhelmed them.’ ”
