The Latin Vulgate VUL
American Standard Version ASV
1 convocavit igitur David omnes principes Israhel duces tribuum et praepositos turmarum qui ministrabant regi tribunos quoque et centuriones et qui praeerant substantiae et possessionibus regis filiosque suos cum eunuchis et potentes et robustissimos quosque in exercitu Hierusalem
1
And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that served the king by course, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, unto Jerusalem.
2 cumque surrexisset rex et stetisset ait audite me fratres mei et populus meus cogitavi ut aedificarem domum in qua requiesceret arca foederis Domini et scabillum pedum Dei nostri et ad aedificandum omnia praeparavi
2
Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: as for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God; and I had made ready for the building.
3 Deus autem dixit mihi non aedificabis domum nomini meo eo quod sis vir bellator et sanguinem fuderis
3
But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
4 sed elegit Dominus Deus Israhel me de universa domo patris mei ut essem rex super Israhel in sempiternum de Iuda enim elegit principes porro de domo Iuda domum patris mei et de filiis patris mei placuit ei ut me eligeret regem super cunctum Israhel
4
Howbeit Jehovah, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;
5 sed et de filiis meis filios enim multos dedit mihi Dominus elegit Salomonem filium meum ut sederet in throno regni Domini super Israhel
5
And of all my sons (for Jehovah hath given me many sons), he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel.
6 dixitque mihi Salomon filius tuus aedificabit domum meam et atria mea ipsum enim elegi mihi in filium et ego ero ei in patrem
6
And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
7 et firmabo regnum eius usque in aeternum si perseveraverit facere praecepta mea et iudicia sicut et hodie
7
And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and mine ordinances, as at this day.
8 nunc igitur coram universo coetu Israhel audiente Deo nostro custodite et perquirite cuncta mandata Domini Dei nostri ut possideatis terram bonam et relinquatis eam filiis vestris post vos usque in sempiternum
8
Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Jehovah your God; that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you for ever.
9 tu autem Salomon fili mi scito Deum patris tui et servi ei corde perfecto et animo voluntario omnia enim corda scrutatur Dominus et universas mentium cogitationes intellegit si quaesieris eum invenies si autem dereliqueris illum proiciet te in aeternum
9
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
10 nunc ergo quia elegit te Dominus ut aedificares domum sanctuarii confortare et perfice
10
Take heed now; for Jehovah hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
11 dedit autem David Salomoni filio suo descriptionem porticus et templi et cellariorum et cenaculi et cubiculorum in adytis et domus propitiationis
11
Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch [of the temple], and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper rooms thereof, and of the inner chambers thereof, and of the place of the mercy-seat;
12 necnon et omnium quae cogitaverat atriorum et exedrarum per circuitum in thesauros domus Domini et in thesauros sanctorum
12
and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
13 divisionumque sacerdotalium et leviticarum in omnia opera domus Domini et in universa vasa ministerii templi Domini
13
also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Jehovah;
14 aurum in pondere per singula vasa ministerii argenti quoque pondus pro vasorum ad opera diversitate
14
of gold by weight for the [vessels of] gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; [of silver] for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;
15 sed et ad candelabra aurea et ad lucernas eorum aurum pro mensura uniuscuiusque candelabri et lucernarum similiter et in candelabris argenteis et in lucernis eorum pro diversitate mensurae pondus argenti tradidit
15
by weight also for the candlesticks of gold, and for the lamps thereof, of gold, by weight for every candlestick and for the lamps thereof; and for the candlesticks of silver, [silver] by weight for [every] candlestick and for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick;
16 aurum quoque dedit in mensas propositionis pro diversitate mensarum similiter et argentum in alias mensas argenteas
16
and the gold by weight for the tables of showbread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;
17 ad fuscinulas quoque et fialas et turibula ex auro purissimo et leunculos aureos pro qualitate mensurae pondus distribuit in leunculum et leunculum similiter et in leones argenteos diversum argenti pondus separavit
17
and the flesh-hooks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;
18 altari autem in quo adoletur incensum aurum purissimum dedit ut ex ipso fieret similitudo quadrigae cherubin extendentium alas et velantium arcam foederis Domini
18
and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, [even] the cherubim, that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
19 omnia inquit venerunt scripta manu Domini ad me ut intellegerem universa opera exemplaris
19
All this, [said David], have I been made to understand in writing from the hand of Jehovah, even all the works of this pattern.
20 dixit quoque David Salomoni filio suo viriliter age et confortare et fac ne timeas et ne paveas Dominus enim Deus meus tecum erit et non dimittet te nec derelinquet donec perficias omne opus ministerii domus Domini
20
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed; for Jehovah God, even my God, is with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah be finished.
21 ecce divisiones sacerdotum et Levitarum in omne ministerium domus Domini adsistunt tibi et parati sunt et noverunt tam principes quam populus facere omnia praecepta tua
21
And, behold, there are the courses of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee in all manner of work every willing man that hath skill, for any manner of service: also the captains and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.
