| 1 | And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David’s friend. | Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri servos suos ad Salomonem: audivit enim quod ipsum unxissent regem pro patre eius: quia amicus fuerat Hiram David omni tempore. |
| 2 | And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying: | Misit autem Salomon ad Hiram, dicens: |
| 3 | Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. | Tu scis voluntatem David patris mei, et quia non potuerit aedificare domum nomini Domini Dei sui propter bella imminentia per circuitum, donec daret Dominus eos sub vestigio pedum eius. |
| 4 | But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence. | Nunc autem requiem dedit Dominus Deus meus mihi per circuitum, et non est satan, neque occursus malus. |
| 5 | Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name. | Quam ob rem cogito aedificare templum nomini Domini Dei mei, sicut locutus est Dominus David patri meo, dicens: Filius tuus, quem dabo pro te super solium tuum, ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo. |
| 6 | Give orders therefore that thy servants cut me down cedar trees out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask, for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians. | Praecipe igitur ut praecidant mihi servi tui cedros de Libano, et servi mei sint cum servis tuis: mercedem autem servorum tuorum dabo tibi quamcumque petieris: scis enim quomodo non est in populo meo vir qui noverit ligna caedere sicut Sidonii. |
| 7 | Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people. | Cum ergo audisset Hiram verba Salomonis, laetatus est valde, et ait: Benedictus Dominus Deus hodie, qui dedit David filium sapientissimum super populum hunc plurimum. |
| 8 | And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees. | Et misit Hiram ad Salomonem, dicens: Audivi quaecumque mandasti mihi: ego faciam omnem voluntatem tuam in lignis cedrinis et abiegnis. |
| 9 | My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats in the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me; and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, to furnish food for my household. | Servi mei deponent ea de Libano ad mare, et ego componam ea in ratibus in mari usque ad locum quem significaveris mihi: et applicabo ea ibi, et tu tolles ea: praebebisque necessaria mihi, ut detur cibus domui meae. |
| 10 | So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire. | Itaque Hiram dabat Salomoni ligna cedrina, et ligna abiegna, iuxta omnem voluntatem eius. |
| 11 | And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year. | Salomon autem praebebat Hiram coros tritici viginti millia in cibum domui eius, et viginti coros purissimi olei: haec tribuebat Salomon Hiram per singulos annos. |
| 12 | And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together. | Dedit quoque Dominus sapientiam Salomoni, sicut locutus est ei: et erat pax inter Hiram et Salomonem, et percusserunt ambo foedus. |
| 13 | And king Solomon chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men. | Elegitque rex Salomon operarios de omni Israël, et erat indictio triginta millia virorum. |
| 14 | And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy. | Mittebatque eos in Libanum, decem millia per menses singulos vicissim, ita ut duobus mensibus essent in domibus suis: et Adoniram erat super huiuscemodi indictione. |
| 15 | And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain: | Fueruntque Salomoni septuaginta millia eorum qui onera portabant, et octoginta millia latomorum in monte, |
| 16 | Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand, and three hundred that ruled over the people, and them that did the work. | absque praepositis qui praeerant singulis operibus, numero trium millium et trecentorum, praecipientium populo et his qui faciebant opus. |
| 17 | And the king commanded, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them: | Praecepitque rex ut tollerent lapides grandes, lapides pretiosos in fundamentum templi, et quadrarent eos: |
| 18 | And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house. | quos dolaverunt caementarii Salomonis et caementarii Hiram: porro Giblii praeparaverunt ligna et lapides ad aedificandam domum. |
