Liber Primus Paralipomenon

I Paralipomenon, chapter 29, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 29 Vulgate

   1 Locutusque est David rex ad omnem ecclesiam: "Salomo nem filium meum unum elegit Deus adhuc puerum et tenellum; opus autem grande est: neque enim homini praeparatur habitatio sed Domino Deo.
   2 Ego autem totis viribus meis praeparavi impensas domus Dei mei: aurum ad vasa aurea et argentum in argentea, aes in aenea, ferrum in ferrea, ligna ad lignea, lapides onychinos et ad inserendum, durum caementum et lapides diversorum colorum omnemque pretiosum lapidem et marmor Parium abundantissime.
   3 Et super haec, cum delectarer super domo Dei mei, de peculio meo aurum et argentum do in templum Dei mei, exceptis his, quae paravi in aedem sanctam:
   4 tria milia talenta auri de auro Ophir et septem milia talentorum argenti probatissimi ad operiendos parietes templi;
   5 et ubicumque opus est aurum pro aureis, et ubicumque opus est argentum pro argenteis et pro quolibet opere per manus artificum; et si quis sponte offert, impleat manum suam hodie et offerat, quod voluerit, Domino".
   6 Sponte obtulerunt itaque principes familiarum et proceres tribuum Israel, tribuni quoque et centuriones et principes operis regis;
   7 dederuntque in opera domus Dei auri talenta quinque milia et solidos decem milia, argenti talenta decem milia et aeris talenta decem et octo milia, ferri quoque centum milia talentorum.
   8 Et apud quemcumque inventi sunt lapides, dederunt in thesaurum domus Domini in manum Iahiel Gersonitis.
   9 Laetatusque est populus super prompto animo eorum, quia corde toto offerebant ea Domino; sed et David rex laetatus est gaudio magno.
   10 Et benedixit Domino coram universa multitudine et ait: "Benedictus es, Domine, Deus Israel patris nostri, ab aeterno in aeternum.
   11 Tua est, Domine, magnificentia et potentia, gloria, splendor atque maiestas. Cuncta enim, quae in caelo sunt et in terra, tua sunt. Tuum, Domine, regnum, et tu elevaris ut caput super omnia.
   12 De te sunt divitiae et gloria, tu dominaris omnium. In manu tua virtus et potentia, in manu tua est magnificare et firmare omnia.
   13 Nunc igitur, Deus noster, confitemur tibi et laudamus nomen tuum inclitum.
   14 Quis ego, et quis populus meus, ut possimus haec tibi universa offerre? Tua sunt haec omnia; et, quae de manu tua accepimus, dedimus tibi.
   15 Peregrini enim sumus coram te et advenae, sicut omnes patres nostri; dies nostri quasi umbra super terram, et nulla est spes.
   16 Domine Deus noster, omnis haec copia, quam paravimus, ut aedificaretur domus nomini sancto tuo, de manu tua est, et tua sunt omnia.
   17 Scio, Deus meus, quod probes corda et simplicitatem diligas; unde et ego in simplicitate cordis mei laetus obtuli universa haec et populum tuum, qui hic repertus est, vidi cum ingenti gaudio sponte tibi offerre donaria.
   18 Domine, Deus Abraham et Isaac et Israel patrum nostrorum, custodi in aeternum hanc voluntatem cordis eorum; et semper in venerationem tui mens ista permaneat.
   19 Salomoni quoque filio meo da cor perfectum, ut custodiat mandata tua, testimonia tua et legitima tua et faciat universa et aedificet aedem, cuius impensas paravi".
   20 Praecepit autem David universae ecclesiae: "Benedicite Domino Deo vestro!". Et benedixit omnis ecclesia Domino, Deo patrum suorum; et inclinaverunt se et adoraverunt Deum et deinde regem.
   21 Immolaveruntque victimas Domino et obtulerunt holocausta die sequenti, tauros mille, arietes mille, agnos mille cum libaminibus suis et sacrificia abundantissime in omnem Israel.
   22 Et comederunt et biberunt coram Domino in die illo cum grandi laetitia; et fecerunt regem secundo Salomonem filium David atque unxerunt Domino in principem et Sadoc in pontificem.
   23 Seditque Salomon super solium Domini, ut esset rex pro David patre suo, et prosperatus est, et paruit illi omnis Israel.
   24 Sed et universi principes et fortes et cuncti filii regis David dederunt manum subicientes se Salomoni regi.
   25 Magnificavit ergo Dominus Salomonem in excelsum in conspectu omnis Israel et dedit illi gloriam regni, qualem nullus habuit ante eum rex Israel.
   26 Igitur David filius Isai regnavit super universum Israel;
   27 et dies, quibus regnavit super Israel, fuerunt quadraginta anni: in Hebron regnavit septem annis et in Ierusalem annis triginta tribus.
   28 Et mortuus est in senectute bona plenus dierum et divitiis et gloria; et regnavit Salomon filius eius pro eo.
   29 Gesta autem David regis priora et novissima scripta sunt in libro Samuel videntis et in libro Nathan prophetae atque in volumine Gad videntis,
   30 universique regni eius et fortitudinis et temporum, quae transierunt sub eo sive in Israel sive in cunctis regnis terrarum.

King James Version

   1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
   2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
   3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
   4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal:
   5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?
   6 ¶ Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,
   7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
   8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
   9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
   10 ¶ Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
   11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
   12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
   13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
   14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
   15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
   16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.
   17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
   18 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
   19 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.
   20 ¶ And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.
   21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
   22 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.
   23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
   24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
   25 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
   26 ¶ Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
   27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
   28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
   29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
   30 With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
