28 — 1 Paralipomenon

1And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king: and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of the army at Jerusalem.Convocò adunque Davidde a Gerusalemme tutti i principi d'Israele, e i capi delle tribù, e i capitani delle bande, che servivano il re, e i tribuni, e i centurioni, e quelli, che amministravano i beni, e le possessioni del re, e i suoi figliuoli coi cortigiani, e i più possenti, e i più valorosi dell'esercito.DAVID therfore called together al the princes of Israel, the dukes of the tribes, and the heades of the compaynies, which ministred to the king: the tribunes also and the centurions, and them that were chiefe ouer the fubstance and possessions of the king, and his sonnes with the ennuches, and the mightie, and al the most viliant in the host of Ierusalem.Convocavit igitur David omnes principes Israël, duces tribuum, et præpositos turmarum, qui ministrabant regi: tribunos quoque et centuriones, et qui præerant substantiæ et possessionibus regis, filiosque suos cum eunuchis, et potentes et robustissimos quosque in exercitu Jerusalem. 2And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and prepared all things for the building.E il re alzatosi, e stando in piedi, disse: Ascoltatemi, fratelli miei, e mio popolo: io ebbi intenzione di edificare una casa, in cui posasse l'arca del testamento del Signore, e lo sgabello de' piedi del nostro Dio, e ho preparate tutte le cose per la fabbrica.And when the king had risen vp, and stoode, he sayd: Heare me my brethren, and my people: I meant to haue built a house, wherein the Arke of our Lord might rest, and the foote stoole of the feete of our God: and to build it I prepared al thinges.Cumque surrexisset rex, et stetisset, ait: Audite me, fratres mei et populus meus: cogitavi ut ædificarem domum, in qua requiesceret arca fœderis Domini, et scabellum pedum Dei nostri: et ad ædificandum, omnia præparavi. 3And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.Ma Dio mi ha detto: Non edificherai tu una casa al nome mio, perchè se' uomo di battaglie, e hai sparso del sangue.But God sayd to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of warre, and hast shed bloud.Deus autem dixit mihi: Non ædificabis domum nomini meo, eo quod sis vir bellator, et sanguinem fuderis. 4But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father’s house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.Ma il Signore Dio d'Israele elesse me di tutta la famiglia del padre mio, perchè io fossi in perpetuo re d'Israele: perocché egli ha scelti i principi da Giuda; e della stirpe di Giuda scelse la casa del padre mio; e de' figliuoli del padre mio piacque a lui di sceglier me per re di tutto Israele.Howbeit our Lord the God of Israel chose me of al the house of my father, to be king ouer Israel for euer: for of Iuda he chose the princes: moreouer of the house of Iuda, my fathers house: and of the sonnes of my father, it pleased him to choose me king ouer al Israel.Sed elegit Dominus Deus Israël me de universa domo patris mei, ut essem rex super Israël in sempiternum: de Juda enim elegit principes: porro de domo Juda, domum patris mei, et de filiis patris mei placuit ei ut me eligeret regem super cunctum Israël.

5And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.E de' miei stessi figliuoli (perocché molti figliuoli mi ha dato il Signore) ha scelto Salomone mio figliuolo, perchè segga sul trono del regno del Signore sopra Israele:Yea and of my sonnes (for our Lord hath geuen me manie sonnes) he hath chosen Salomon my sonne, to sitte in the throne of the kingdome of our Lord ouer Israel,Sed et de filiis meis (filios enim mihi multos dedit Dominus) elegit Salomonem filium meum ut sederet in throno regni Domini super Israël, 6And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.E ha detto a me: Salomone tuo figliuolo edificherà la mia casa, e i miei atrj: perocché lui ho scelto per mio figliuolo, e io sarogli padre.and he sayd to me: Salomon thy sonne shal build my house, and my courtes: for him haue I chosen to me for a sonne, and I wil be to him for a father.dixitque mihi: Salomon filius tuus ædificabit domum meam, et atria mea: ipsum enim elegi mihi in filium, et ego ero ei in patrem. 7And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.E io stabilirò il suo regno fino in eterno, se egli persevererà nell'adempire si miei comandamenti, e le leggi, come fa adesso.And I wil confirme his kingdome for euer, if he shal perseuere to doe my preceptes, and my iudgementes, as at this day.Et firmabo regnum ejus usque in æternum, si perseveraverit facere præcepta mea et judicia, sicut et hodie. 8Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.Adesso pertanto dinanzi a tutta l'adunanza d'Israele, dinanzi al Dio nostro, che ascolta (io dico): Osservate. Se studiate tutti i comandamenti del Signore Dio nostro, affinchè abbiate il possesso di questa buona terra, e la lasciate a' vostri figliuoli dopo di voi in eterno.Now then before al the assemblie of Israel in the hearing of our God, keepe ye, & search al the commandmentes of our Lord God: that you may possesse the good land, and may leaue it to your children after you for euer.Nunc ergo coram universo cœtu Israël 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. 9And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.Ma tu, figlio mio Salomone, conosci il Dio del padre tuo, e servilo con cuore perfetto, e di buona voglia: perocché il Signore è scrutatore di tutti i cuori, e tutti penetra i pensieri della mente. Se lo cercherai, tu lo troverai: se poi tu lo abbandonassi, egli ti rigetterà in eterno.And thou Salomon, my sonne, know the God of thy father, and serue him with a persect hart, and a voluntarie minde: for our Lord searcheth al hartes, and vnderstandeth al cogitations of mindes. If thou seeke him, thou shalt finde: but if thou forsake him he wil reiect thee for euer.Tu autem, Salomon fili mi, scito Deum patris tui, et servito ei corde perfecto, animo voluntario: omnia enim corda scrutatur Dominus, et universas mentium cogitationes intelligit. Si quæsieris eum, invenies: si autem dereliqueris eum, projiciet te in æternum.

10Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.Adesso adunque, dacché il Signore ti ha eletto a edificare la casa santa, fatti cuore, e compisci l'opera.Now therfore because our Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the Sanctuarie, take courage, and perfitte it.Nunc ergo quia elegit te Dominus ut ædificares domum sanctuarii, confortare, et perfice. 11And David gave to Solomon his son a description of the porch, and of the temple, and of the treasures, and of the upper floor, and of the inner chambers, and of the house for the mercy seat,E David diede a Salomone suo figliuolo il disegno del portico, e del tempio, e delle camere, e dei cenacoli, e delle stanze segrete, e della casa di propiziazione,And Dauid gaue to Salomon his sonne a description of the porch, and of the temple, and of the cellars, and of the vpper loft, and of the chambers in the inner roomes, and of the house of the propitiation,Dedit autem David Salomoni filio suo descriptionem porticus, et templi, et cellariorum, et cœnaculi, et cubiculorum in adytis, et domus propitiationis, 12As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord, and for the treasures of the consecrated things,E anche di tutti gli atri, che egli aveva ideato, e delle abitazioni all'intorno pei tesori delle casa del Signore, e pei tesori delle cose sante,moreouer also of al the courtes, which he had thought vpon, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of our Lord, and for the treasures of the holie thinges,necnon et omnium quæ cogitaverat atriorum et exedrarum per circuitum in thesauros domus Domini, et in thesauros sanctorum, 13And of the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, for all the works of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the service of the temple of the Lord.E la distribuzione de' sacerdoti, e de' Leviti per tutti gli uffici della casa del Signore, e per tutti i vasi, che dovean servire alla casa del Signore.and of the diuisions of the Priestes and the Leuites, for al the workes of the house of our Lord, and for al the vessels of the ministerie of the temple of our Lord.divisionumque sacerdotalium et Leviticarum, in omnia opera domus Domini, et in universa vasa ministerii templi Domini. 14Gold by weight for every vessel for the ministry. And silver by weight according to the diversity of the vessels and uses.(Gli diede) l'oro secondo il peso, che aver dovea ciascun de' vasi pel ministero. E l'argento pesato secondo i diversi vasi, e lavori.Gold in weight for euerie vessel of the ministerie. A weight of siluer also according to the diuersitie of the vessels and workes.Aurum in pondere per singula vasa ministerii. Argenti quoque pondus pro vasorum et operum diversitate.

15He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps, according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof. In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the dimensions of them.E pe' candelabri d'oro, e pelle loro lampane diede l'oro, secondo la grandezza di ciascun candelabro, e delle lampane: e similmente l'argento pesato pe' candelabri d'argento, e le loro lampane secondo la varia loro grandezza.And for golden candlestickes also, and their lampes, gold according to the measure of euerie candlesticke, and of the lampes. In like maner also for the siluer candlestickes, and for their lampes, according to the diuersitie of the measure, he deliuered a weight of siluer.Sed et in candelabra aurea, et ad lucernas eorum, aurum pro mensura uniuscujusque candelabri et lucernarum. Similiter et in candelabra argentea, et in lucernas eorum, pro diversitate mensuræ, pondus argenti tradidit. 16He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of silver.Diede anche l'oro per le mense dei pani di proposizione, secondo la diversità delle mense: e similmente l'argento per altre mense d'argento.He gaue also gold for tables of proposition, according to the diuersitie of the tables: in like maner also siluer for other siluer tables.Aurum quoque dedit in mensas propositionis pro diversitate mensarum: similiter et argentum in alias mensas argenteas. 17For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censers of fine gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a different weight of silver.Similmente per le forchette, e le coppe, e i turiboli d'oro finissimo, e pe lioncini d'oro, secondo le loro grandezze assegnò pesato l'oro per l'uno, e per l'altro lioncino. E alla stessa guisa pei leoni d'argento separò un'altra quantità d'argento pesato.For flesh hookes also, and phials, and censars of most pure gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the qualitie of the measure he distributed a weight, for lyon and lyon. In like maner also for lyons of siluer he seperated a diuerse weight of siluer.Ad fuscinulas quoque, et phialas, et thuribula ex auro purissimo, et leunculos aureos pro qualitate mensuræ pondus distribuit in leunculum et leunculum. Similiter et in leones argenteos diversum argenti pondus separavit. 18And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings, and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord.E pell'altare, su di cui si brucia l'incenso, diede oro finissimo: e per farne la immagine di un cocchio di Cherubini, i quali stendendo le ale velassero l'arca del testamento del Signore.And for the Altar whereupon incense is burnt, he gaue most pure gold: that of it might be made a similitude of the chariote of the Cherubs spredding their winges, and couering the Arke of the couenant of our Lord.Altari autem, in quo adoletur incensum, aurum purissimum dedit: ut ex ipso fieret similitudo quadrigæ cherubim extendentium alas, et velantium arcam fœderis Domini.

19All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern.Tutte queste cose, disse egli, sono state mandate a me descritte di mano del Signore, affinchè io comprendessi tutti i lavori di quel modello.Al thinges, quoth he, came writen with the hand of our Lord vnto me: that I might vnderstand al the workes of the paterne.Omnia, inquit, venerunt scripta manu Domini ad me, ut intelligerem universa opera exemplaris. 20And David said to Solomon his son: Act like a man, and take courage, and do: fear not, and be not dismayed: for the Lord my God will be with thee, and will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, till thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.Disse ancora David a Salomone suo figliuolo: Opera virilmente, e fatti animo, e pon mano all'opera: non temere, non ti sbigottire: perocché il Signore Dio mio sarà teco? e non ti lascerà, e non ti abbandonerà, fin a tanto che tu abbi compiuto tutto quel, che deve servire alla casa del Signore.Dauid also sayd to Salomon his sonne: Deale mansully, and take courage, and doe it: feare not, and be not dismayed: for our Lord my God wil be with thee, and wil not leaue thee, nor forsake thee, til thou perfite al the worke of the ministerie of the house of our Lord.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. 21Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, stand by thee, and are ready, and both the princes, and the people know how to execute all thy commandments.Ecco, che tutte le classi dei sacerdoti, e dei Leviti sono a te d'intorno, e sono pronti a fare ogni cosa in servigio della casa del Signore, e tanto i capi, come il popolo sapranno eseguire tutti i tuoi comandi.Behold the diuisions of the Priestes and the Leuites, for euerie ministerie of the house of our Lord, assist thee, and are readie, and as wel the princes know, as the people, to doe al thy preceptes.Ecce divisiones sacerdotum et Levitarum: in omne ministerium domus Domini assistunt tibi, et parati sunt, et noverunt tam principes quam populus facere omnia præcepta tua.
