VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Dixitque David : Hæc est domus Dei, et hoc altare in holocaustum Israëli.	1 Therefore David said, "This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of holocausts for Israel."
2 Et præcepit ut congregarentur omnes proselyti de terra Israël, et constituit ex eis latomos ad cædendos lapides et poliendos, ut ædificaretur domus Dei.	2 David then ordered that all the aliens who lived in the land of Israel be brought together, and he appointed them stonecutters to hew out stone blocks for building the house of God.
3 Ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos januarum, et ad commissuras atque juncturas, præparavit David : et æris pondus innumerabile.	3 He also laid up large stores of iron to make nails for the doors of the gates, and clamps, together with so much bronze that it could not be weighed,
4 Ligna quoque cedrina non poterant æstimari, quæ Sidonii et Tyrii deportaverant ad David.	4 and cedar trees without number. The Sidonians and Tyrians brought great stores of cedar logs to David,
5 Et dixit David : Solomon filius meus puer parvulus est et delicatus : domus autem, quam ædificari volo Domino, talis esse debet ut in cunctis regionibus nominetur : præparabo ergo ei necessaria. Et ob hanc causam ante mortem suam omnes præparavit impensas.	5 who said: "My son Solomon is young and immature; but the house that is to be built for the LORD must be made so magnificent that it will be renowned and glorious in all countries. Therefore I will make preparations for it." Thus before his death David laid up materials in abundance.
6 Vocavitque Salomonem filium suum, et præcepit ei ut ædificaret domum Domino Deo Israël.	6 Then he called for his son Solomon and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 Dixitque David ad Salomonem : Fili mi, voluntatis meæ fuit ut ædificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei :	7 David said to Solomon: "My son, it was my purpose to build a house myself for the honor of the LORD, my God.
8 sed factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens : Multum sanguinem effudisti, et plurima bella bellasti : non poteris ædificare domum nomini meo, tanto effuso sanguine coram me :	8 But this word of the LORD came to me: 'You have shed much blood, and you have waged great wars. You may not build a house in my honor, because you have shed too much blood upon the earth in my sight.
9 filius qui nascetur tibi, erit vir quietissimus : faciam enim eum requiescere ab omnibus inimicis suis per circuitum : et ob hanc causam Pacificus vocabitur : et pacem et otium dabo in Israël cunctis diebus ejus.	9 However, a son is to be born to you. He will be a peaceful man, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. For Solomon shall be his name, and in his time I will bestow peace and tranquillity on Israel.
10 Ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo, et ipse erit mihi in filium, et ego ero illi in patrem : firmaboque solium regni ejus super Israël in æternum.	10 It is he who shall build a house in my honor; he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him, and I will establish the throne of his kingship over Israel forever.'
11 Nunc ergo fili mi, sit Dominus tecum, et prosperare, et ædifica domum Domino Deo tuo sicut locutus est de te.	11 Now, my son, the LORD be with you, and may you succeed in building the house of the LORD your God, as he has said you shall.
12 Det quoque Dominus prudentiam et sensum ut regere possis Israël, et custodire legem Domini Dei tui.	12 May the LORD give you prudence and discernment when he brings you to rule over Israel, so that you keep the law of the LORD, your God.
13 Tunc enim proficere poteris, si custodieris mandata et judicia quæ præcepit Dominus Moysi ut doceret Israël. Confortare, et viriliter age : ne timeas, neque paveas.	13 Only then shall you succeed, if you are careful to observe the precepts and decrees which the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be brave and steadfast; do not fear or lose heart.
14 Ecce ego in paupertate mea præparavi impensas domus Domini, auri talenta centum millia, et argenti mille millia talentorum : æris vero et ferri non est pondus, vincitur enim numerus magnitudine ; ligna et lapides præparavi ad universa impendia.	14 See, with great effort I have laid up for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, and bronze and iron in such great quantities that they cannot be weighed. I have also stored up wood and stones, to which you must add.
15 Habes quoque plurimos artifices, latomos, et cæmentarios, artificesque lignorum, et omnium artium ad faciendum opus prudentissimos,	15 Moreover, you have available an unlimited supply of workmen, stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and every kind of craftsman
16 in auro et argento et ære et ferro, cujus non est numerus. Surge igitur et fac, et erit Dominus tecum.	16 skilled in gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Set to work, therefore, and the LORD be with you!"
17 Præcepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israël ut adjuvarent Salomonem filium suum :	17 David also commanded all of Israel's leaders to help his son Solomon:
18 Cernitis, inquiens, quod Dominus Deus vester vobiscum sit, et dederit vobis requiem per circuitum, et tradiderit omnes inimicos vestros in manus vestras, et subjecta sit terra coram Domino, et coram populo ejus.	18 "Is not the LORD your God with you? Has he not given you rest on every side? Indeed, he has delivered the occupants of the land into my power, and the land is subdued before the LORD and his people.
19 Præbete igitur corda vestra et animas vestras, ut quæratis Dominum Deum vestrum : et consurgite, et ædificate sanctuarium Domino Deo, ut introducatur arca fœderis Domini, et vasa Domino consecrata, in domum quæ ædificatur nomini Domini.	19 Therefore, devote your hearts and souls to seeking the LORD your God. Proceed to build the sanctuary of the LORD God, that the ark of the covenant of the LORD and God's sacred vessels may be brought into the house built in honor of the LORD."
