1 Kings 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Hiram, the king of Tyre, also sent his servants to Solomon. For he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father. Now Hiram had been a friend to David the entire time.	1 Και απεστειλεν ο Χειραμ βασιλευς της Τυρου τους δουλους αυτου προς τον Σολομωντα, ακουσας οτι εχρισαν αυτον βασιλεα αντι του πατρος αυτου? διοτι ο Χειραμ ηγαπα παντοτε τον Δαβιδ.
2 Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:	2 Και απεστειλεν ο Σολομων προς τον Χειραμ, λεγων,
3 “You know the will of my father David, and that he was not able to build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were imminent all around him, until the Lord set them under the steps of his feet.	3 Συ εξευρεις οτι Δαβιδ ο πατηρ μου δεν ηδυνηθη να οικοδομηση οικον εις το ονομα Κυριου του Θεου αυτου, εξ αιτιας των πολεμων των περικυκλουντων αυτον πανταχοθεν, εωσου ο Κυριος εβαλε τους εχθρους αυτου υπο τα ιχνη των ποδων αυτου?
4 But now the Lord my God has given rest to me on all sides. And there is no adversary, nor occurrence of evil.	4 αλλα τωρα Κυριος ο Θεος μου εδωκεν εις εμε αναπαυσιν πανταχοθεν? δεν υπαρχει ουτε επιβουλος ουτε απαντημα κακον?
5 For this reason, I intend to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying: ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place, upon your throne, he himself shall build a house to my name.’	5 και ιδου, εγω λεγω να οικοδομησω οικον εις το ονομα Κυριου του Θεου μου, καθως ο Κυριος ελαλησε προς τον Δαβιδ τον πατερα μου, λεγων, Ο υιος σου, τον οποιον θελω βαλει αντι σου επι τον θρονον σου, ουτος θελει οικοδομησει τον οικον εις το ονομα μου?
6 Therefore, order that your servants may cut down for me cedars from Lebanon. And let my servants be with your servants. Then I will give to you, for the wages of your servants, whatever you will ask. For you know that there is not a man among my people who knows how to cut wood as well as the Sidonians.”	6 τωρα λοιπον προσταξον να κοψωσιν εις εμε κεδρους εκ του Λιβανου? και οι δουλοι μου θελουσιν εισθαι μετα των δουλων σου? και θελω δωσει εις σε μισθον δια τους δουλους σου, κατα παντα οσα ειπας? διοτι συ εξευρεις οτι μεταξυ ημων δεν ειναι ουδεις ουτως εμπειρος να κοπτη ξυλα, ως οι Σιδωνιοι.
7 Therefore, when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, “Blessed be the Lord God this day, who gave to David a very wise son over this numerous people!”	7 Και ως ηκουσεν ο Χειραμ τους λογους του Σολομωντος, εχαρη σφοδρα και ειπεν, Ευλογητος Κυριος σημερον, οστις εδωκεν εις τον Δαβιδ υιον σοφον επι τον λαον τον πολυν τουτον.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: “I have heard the things that you would entrust to me. And I will do your whole will concerning the cedar trees and spruce trees.	8 Και απεστειλεν ο Χειραμ προς τον Σολομωντα, λεγων, Ηκουσα περι οσων εμηνυσας προς εμε? εγω θελω καμει παν το θελημα σου δια ξυλα κεδρινα και δια ξυλα πευκινα?
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will arrange them together as rafts on the sea, as far as the place that you will indicate to me. And I will land them there, and you will take them. And you shall offer to me what is necessary to give food to my house.”	9 οι δουλοι μου θελουσι καταβιβαζει αυτα εκ του Λιβανου εις την θαλασσαν? και εγω θελω καμει να φερωσιν αυτα εις σχεδιας δια της θαλασσης μεχρι του τοπου οντινα μηνυσης προς εμε, και να λυσωσιν αυτα εκει? συ δε θελεις παραλαβει αυτα? θελεις δε εκπληρωσει και συ το θελημα μου, διδων τροφας δια τον οικον μου.
10 And so, Hiram gave to Solomon cedar trees and spruce trees, in accord with his whole will.	10 Εδιδε λοιπον ο Χειραμ εις τον Σολομωντα ξυλα κεδρινα και ξυλα πευκινα, οσα ηθελεν.
11 Then Solomon offered to Hiram twenty thousand cor of wheat, as food for his house, and twenty cor of the purest oil. These things Solomon gave as a tribute to Hiram every year.	11 Ο δε Σολομων εδωκεν εις τον Χειραμ εικοσι χιλιαδας κορων σιτου δια τροφην του οικου αυτου και εικοσι κορους ελαιου κοπανισμενου? ουτως εδιδεν ο Σολομων εις τον Χειραμ κατ' ετος.
12 And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he said to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two struck a pact.	12 Και εδωκεν ο Κυριος εις τον Σολομωντα σοφιαν, καθως ειπε προς αυτον? και ητο ειρηνη μεταξυ Χειραμ και Σολομωντος? και εκαμον συνθηκην αμφοτεροι.
13 And king Solomon chose workers from all of Israel, and the conscription was of thirty thousand men.	13 Εκαμε δε ο βασιλευς Σολομων ανδρολογιαν εκ παντος του Ισραηλ, και ητο η ανδρολογια τριακοντα χιλιαδες ανδρων.
14 And he sent them into Lebanon, ten thousand each month, in turns, so that for two months they were in their own houses. And Adoniram was over this type of conscription.	14 Και απεστελλεν αυτους εις τον Λιβανον, δεκα χιλιαδας τον μηνα κατα αλλαγην? ενα μηνα ησαν εν τω Λιβανω και δυο μηνας εν τοις οικοις αυτων? επι δε της ανδρολογιας ητο ο Αδωνιραμ.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand of those who were carrying burdens, and eighty thousand of those who cut stones from the mountain,	15 Και ειχεν ο Σολομων εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας αχθοφορων και ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδας λιθοτομων εν τω ορει?
16 aside from the commanders who were over each work, in number three thousand and three hundred, who gave orders to the people and to those who were doing the work.	16 εκτος των επιστατων των διωρισμενων παρα του Σολομωντος, οιτινες ησαν επι των εργων, τρεις χιλιαδες και τριακοσιοι, επιστατουντες επι τον λαον τον δουλευοντα εις τα εργα.
17 And the king ordered them to bring great stones, precious stones, for the foundation of the temple, and to square them.	17 Προσεταξε δε ο βασιλευς, και μετεφεραν λιθους μεγαλους, λιθους εκλεκτους, λιθους πελεκητους, δια τα θεμελια του οικου.
18 And these were shaped by the stoneworkers of Solomon and the stoneworkers of Hiram. And the men of Gebal also prepared the wood and the stones in order to build the house.	18 Και επελεκησαν οι οικοδομοι του Σολομωντος και οι οικοδομοι του Χειραμ και οι Γιβλιοι, και ητοιμασαν τα ξυλα και τους λιθους, δια να οικοδομησωσι τον οικον.
