The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 So David declared, "From now on, this is the site for the worship of God; this is the place for Israel's Altar of Burnt Offering."
1
dixitque David haec est domus Dei et hoc altare in holocaustum Israhel
2 David ordered all the resident aliens in the land to come together; he sent them to the stone quarries to cut dressed stone to build The Temple of God.
2
et praecepit ut congregarentur omnes proselyti de terra Israhel et constituit ex eis latomos ad caedendos lapides et poliendos ut aedificaretur domus Dei
3 He also stockpiled a huge quantity of iron for nails and bracings for the doors of the gates, more bronze than could be weighed,
3
ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos ianuarum et ad commissuras atque iuncturas praeparavit David et aeris pondus innumerabile
4 and cedar logs past counting (the Sidonians and Tyrians shipped in huge loads of cedar logs for David).
4
ligna quoque cedrina non poterant aestimari quae Sidonii et Tyrii deportaverant ad David
5 David was thinking, "My son Solomon is too young to plan ahead for this. But the sanctuary that is to be built for God has to be the greatest, the talk of all the nations; so I'll get the construction materials together." That's why David prepared this huge stockpile of building materials before he died.
5
et dixit David Salomon filius meus puer parvulus est et delicatus domus autem quam aedificari volo Domino talis esse debet ut in cunctis regionibus nominetur praeparabo ergo ei necessaria et ob hanc causam ante mortem suam omnes paravit inpensas
6 Then he called in Solomon his son and commanded him to build a sanctuary for the God of Israel.
6
vocavitque Salomonem filium suum et praecepit ei ut aedificaret domum Domino Deo Israhel
7 David said to Solomon, "I wanted in the worst way to build a sanctuary to honor my God.
7
dixitque David ad Salomonem fili mi voluntatis meae fuit ut aedificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei
8 But God prevented me, saying, 'You've killed too many people, fought too many wars. You are not the one to honor me by building a sanctuary - you've been responsible for too much killing, too much bloodshed.
8
sed factus est ad me sermo Domini dicens multum sanguinem effudisti et plurima bella bellasti non poteris aedificare domum nomini meo tanto effuso sanguine coram me
9 But you are going to have a son and he will be a quiet and peaceful man, and I will calm his enemies down on all sides. His very name will speak peace - that is, Solomon, which means Peace - and I'll give peace and rest under his rule.
9
filius qui nascetur tibi et 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 Israhel cunctis diebus eius
10 He will be the one to build a sanctuary in my honor. He'll be my royal adopted son and I'll be his father; and I'll make sure that the authority of his kingdom over Israel lasts forever.'
10
ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo et ipse erit mihi in filium et ego ero ei in patrem firmaboque solium regni eius super Israhel in aeternum
11 "So now, son, God be with you. God-speed as you build the sanctuary for your God, the job God has given you.
11
nunc ergo fili mi sit Dominus tecum et prosperare et aedifica domum Domino Deo tuo sicut locutus est de te
12 And may God also give you discernment and understanding when he puts you in charge of Israel so that you will rule in reverent obedience under God's Revelation.
12
det quoque tibi Dominus prudentiam et sensum ut regere possis Israhel et custodire legem Domini Dei tui
13 That's what will make you successful, following the directions and doing the things that God commanded Moses for Israel. Courage! Take charge! Don't be timid; don't hold back.
13
tunc enim proficere poteris si custodieris mandata et iudicia quae praecepit Dominus Mosi ut doceret Israhel confortare viriliter age ne timeas neque paveas
14 Look at this - I've gone to a lot of trouble to stockpile materials for the sanctuary of God: 100,000 talents (3,775 tons) of gold, a million talents (37,750 tons) of silver, tons of bronze and iron - too much to weigh - and all this timber and stone. And you're free to add more.
14
ecce ego in paupertatula mea praeparavi inpensas domus Domini auri talenta centum milia et argenti mille milia talentorum aeris vero et ferri non est pondus vincitur enim numerus magnitudine ligna et lapides praeparavi ad universa inpendia
15 And workers both plentiful and prepared: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, artisans in
15
habes quoque plurimos artifices latomos et cementarios artificesque lignorum et omnium artium ad faciendum opus prudentissimos
16 gold and silver, bronze and iron. You're all set - get to work! And God-speed!"
16
in auro et argento aere et ferro cuius non est numerus surge igitur et fac et erit Dominus tecum
17 David gave orders to all of Israel's leaders to help his son Solomon,
17
praecepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israhel ut adiuvarent Salomonem filium suum
18 saying, "Isn't it obvious that your God is present with you; that he has given you peaceful relations with everyone around? My part in this was to put down the enemies, subdue the land to God and his people;
18
cernitis inquiens quod Dominus Deus vester vobiscum sit et dederit vobis requiem per circuitum et tradiderit omnes inimicos in manu vestra et subiecta sit terra coram Domino et coram populo eius
19 your part is to give yourselves, heart and soul, to praying to your God. So get moving - build the sacred house of worship to God! Then bring the Chest of the Covenant of God and all the holy furnishings for the worship of God into the sanctuary built in honor of God."
19
praebete igitur corda vestra et animas vestras ut quaeratis Dominum Deum vestrum et consurgite et aedificate sanctuarium Domino Deo ut introducatur arca foederis Domini et vasa Domino consecrata in domum quae aedificatur nomini Domini
