Regum I 9

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Factum est autem cum perfecisset Salomon ædificium domus Domini, et ædificium regis, et omne quod optaverat et voluerat facere,	1 After Solomon finished building the temple of the LORD, the royal palace, and everything else that he had planned,
2 apparuit ei Dominus secundo, sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.	2 the LORD appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him in Gibeon.
3 Dixitque Dominus ad eum : Exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam, quam deprecatus es coram me : sanctificavi domum hanc quam ædificasti, ut ponerem nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et erunt oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.	3 The LORD said to him: "I have heard the prayer of petition which you offered in my presence. I have consecrated this temple which you have built; I confer my name upon it forever, and my eyes and my heart shall be there always.
4 Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me sicut ambulavit pater tuus, in simplicitate cordis et in æquitate, et feceris omnia quæ præcepi tibi, et legitima mea et judicia mea servaveris,	4 As for you, if you live in my presence as your father David lived, sincerely and uprightly, doing just as I have commanded you, keeping my statutes and decrees,
5 ponam thronum regni tui super Israël in sempiternum, sicut locutus sum David patri tuo, dicens : Non auferetur vir de genere tuo de solio Israël.	5 I will establish your throne of sovereignty over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, 'You shall always have someone from your line on the throne of Israel.'
6 Si autem aversione aversi fueritis vos et filii vestri, non sequentes me, nec custodientes mandata mea et cæremonias meas quas proposui vobis, sed abieritis et colueritis deos alienos, et adoraveritis eos :	6 But if you and your descendants ever withdraw from me, fail to keep the commandments and statutes which I set before you, and proceed to venerate and worship strange gods,
7 auferam Israël de superficie terræ quam dedi eis, et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo, projiciam a conspectu meo : eritque Israël in proverbium, et in fabulam cunctis populis.	7 I will cut off Israel from the land I gave them and repudiate the temple I have consecrated to my honor. Israel shall become a proverb and a byword among all nations,
8 Et domus hæc erit in exemplum : omnis qui transierit per eam, stupebit, et sibilabit, et dicet : Quare fecit Dominus sic terræ huic, et domui huic ?	8 and this temple shall become a heap of ruins. Every passerby shall catch his breath in amazement, and ask, 'Why has the LORD done this to the land and to this temple?'
9 Et respondebunt : Quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum suum, qui eduxit patres eorum de terra Ægypti, et secuti sunt deos alienos, et adoraverunt eos, et coluerunt eos : idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc.	9 Men will answer: 'They forsook the LORD, their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they adopted strange gods which they worshiped and served. That is why the LORD has brought down upon them all this evil.'"
10 Expletis autem annis viginti postquam ædificaverat Salomon duas domos, id est, domum Domini, et domum regis	10 After the twenty years during which Solomon built the two houses, the temple of the LORD and the palace of the king--
11 (Hiram rege Tyri præbente Salomoni ligna cedrina et abiegna, et aurum juxta omne quod opus habuerat), tunc dedit Salomon Hiram viginti oppida in terra Galilææ.	11 Hiram, king of Tyre, supplying Solomon with all the cedar wood, fir wood, and gold he wished--King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 Et egressus est Hiram de Tyro ut videret oppida quæ dederat ei Salomon, et non placuerunt ei.	12 Hiram left Tyre to see the cities Solomon had given him, but was not satisfied with them.
13 Et ait : Hæccine sunt civitates quas dedisti mihi, frater ? Et appellavit eas terram Chabul, usque in diem hanc.	13 So he said, "What are these cities you have given me, my brother?" And he called them the land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
14 Misit quoque Hiram ad regem Salomonem centum viginti talenta auri.	14 Hiram, however, had sent king Solomon one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15 Hæc est summa expensarum quam obtulit rex Salomon ad ædificandam domum Domini et domum suam, et Mello, et murum Jerusalem, et Heser, et Mageddo, et Gazer.	15 This is an account of the forced labor which King Solomon levied in order to build the temple of the LORD, his palace, Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer
16 Pharao rex Ægypti ascendit, et cepit Gazar, succenditque eam igni, et Chananæum, qui habitabat in civitate, interfecit : et dedit eam in dotem filiæ suæ uxori Salomonis.	16 (Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had come up and taken Gezer and, after destroying it by fire and slaying all the Canaanites living in the city, had given it as dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife;
17 Ædificavit ergo Salomon Gazer, et Bethoron inferiorem,	17 Solomon then rebuilt Gezer), Lower Beth-horon,
18 et Balaath, et Palmiram in terra solitudinis.	18 Baalath, Tamar in the desert of Judah,
19 Et omnes vicos qui ad se pertinebant et erant absque muro, munivit, et civitates curruum et civitates equitum, et quodcumque ei placuit ut ædificaret in Jerusalem, et in Libano, et in omni terra potestatis suæ.	19 all his cities for supplies, cities for chariots and for horses, and whatever else Solomon decided should be built in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in the entire land under his dominion.
20 Universum populum qui remanserat de Amorrhæis, et Hethæis, et Pherezæis, et Hevæis, et Jebusæis, qui non sunt de filiis Israël :	20 All the non-Israelite people who remained in the land, descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites
21 horum filios qui remanserant in terra, quos scilicet non potuerant filii Israël exterminare, fecit Salomon tributarios usque in diem hanc.	21 whose doom the Israelites had been unable to accomplish, Solomon conscripted as forced laborers, as they are to this day.
22 De filiis autem Israël non constituit Salomon servire quemquam, sed erant viri bellatores, et ministri ejus, et principes, et duces, et præfecti curruum et equorum.	22 But Solomon enslaved none of the Israelites, for they were his fighting force, his ministers, commanders, adjutants, chariot officers, and charioteers.
23 Erant autem principes super omnia opera Salomonis præpositi quingenti quinquaginta, qui habebant subjectum populum, et statutis operibus imperabant.	23 The supervisors of Solomon's works who policed the people engaged in the work numbered five hundred and fifty.
24 Filia autem Pharaonis ascendit de civitate David in domum suam, quam ædificaverat ei Salomon : tunc ædificavit Mello.	24 As soon as Pharaoh's daughter went up from the City of David to her palace, which he had built for her, Solomon built Millo.
25 Offerebat quoque Salomon, tribus vicibus per annos singulos, holocausta et pacificas victimas super altare quod ædificaverat Domino, et adolebat thymiama coram Domino : perfectumque est templum.	25 Three times a year Solomon used to offer holocausts and peace offerings on the altar which he had built to the LORD, and to burn incense before the LORD; and he kept the temple in repair.
26 Classem quoque fecit rex Salomon in Asiongaber, quæ est juxta Ailath in littore maris Rubri, in terra Idumææ.	26 King Solomon also built a fleet at Ezion-geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.
27 Misitque Hiram in classe illa servos suos viros nauticos et gnaros maris, cum servis Salomonis.	27 In this fleet Hiram placed his own expert seamen with the servants of Solomon.
28 Qui cum venissent in Ophir, sumptum inde aurum quadringentorum viginti talentorum, detulerunt ad regem Salomonem.	28 They went to Ophir, and brought back four hundred and twenty talents of gold to King Solomon.
