1And Solomon determined to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.Or Salomone si risolvè di edificare la casa al nome del Signore, e un palazzo per se.AND Salomon determined to build a house to the name of our Lord, and a palace for himself.Decrevit autem Salomon ædificare domum nomini Domini, et palatium sibi. 2And he numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.E comandò settanta mila uomini da portar pesi, e ottanta mila scarpellini, che tagliasser le pietre sulle montagne, e diede loro tre mila secento soprastanti.And he numbred seuentie thousand men that caried on their shoulders, and eightie thousand that should hew stones in the mountaynes, and ouerseers of them three thousand six hundred.Et numeravit septuaginta millia virorum portantium humeris, et octoginta millia qui cæderent lapides in montibus, præpositosque eorum tria millia sexcentos. 3He sent also to Hiram king of Tyre, saying: As thou didst with David my father, and didst send him cedars, to build him a house, in which he dwelt:E mandò anche a dire ad Hiram re di Tiro: Nella stessa guisa, che facesti tu con Davidde mio padre, mandando gli dei legnami di cedro per fabbricar quella casa, in cui egli risedè,He sent also to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying: As thou didst with Dauid my father, and didst send him cedar trees, to build him a house, wherin also he dwelt:Misit quoque ad Hiram regem Tyri, dicens: Sicut egisti cum David patre meo, et misisti ei ligna cedrina ut ædificaret sibi domum, in qua et habitavit: 4So do with me that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to burn incense before him, and to perfume with aromatical spices, and for the continual setting forth of bread, and for the holocausts, morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and the solemnities of the Lord our God for ever, which are commanded for Israel.Fa ora con me, affinchè io possa edificare la casa al nome del Signore Dio mio, e dedicarla a lui, per bruciarvi l'incenso dinanzi a lui, e spargervi il fumo degli aromati, e per esporvi in perpetuo i pani, e offerirvi gli olocausti la mattina, e la sera, e ne' sabati, e ne' noviluni, e nelle solennità del Signore Dio nostro in sempiterno, conforme fu ordinato ad Israele.so doe with me that I may build a house to the name of our Lord my God, that I may consecrate it to burne incense before him, and to perfume with aromatical spices, and to the euerlasting proposition of loaues, and for holocaustes, morning and euening, on the sabbathes also, and the newmoones, and the solemnities of our Lord God for euer, which are commanded Israel.sic fac mecum ut ædificem domum nomini Domini Dei mei, ut consecrem eam ad adolendum incensum coram illo, et fumiganda aromata, et ad propositionem panum sempiternam, et ad holocautomata mane, et vespere, sabbatis quoque, et neomeniis, et solemnitatibus Domini Dei nostri in sempiternum, quæ mandata sunt Israëli.

5For the house which I desire to build, is great: for our God is great above all gods.Perocché la casa, che io bramo di edificare, sarà grande: perchè grande sopra tutti gli dei, egli è il Dio nostro.For the house which I desire to build, is great: for our God is great aboue al goddes.Domus enim quam ædificare cupio, magna est: magnus est enim Deus noster super omnes deos. 6Who then can be able to build him a worthy house? if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him: who am I that I should be able to build him a house? but to this end only, that incense may be burnt before him.Chi adunque sarà da tanto di edificargli casa degna di lui? Se il cielo, e i cieli de' cieli non posson capirlo, che son io per aggiungere a edificargli una casa? ma non per altro io la fo, se non per bruciarvi incenso dinanzi a lui.Who then can be able, to build him a worthie house? if heauen, and the heauens of heauens can not conteyne him: how great am I, that I may build him a house? but to this end only, that incense may be burnt before him.Quis ergo poterit prævalere, ut ædificet ei dignam domum ? si cælum, et cæli cælorum, capere eum nequeunt, quantus ego sum, ut possim ædificare ei domum ? sed ad hoc tantum, ut adoleatur incensum coram illo. 7Send me therefore a skilful man, that knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, in purple, in scarlet and in blue, and that hath skill in engraving, with the artificers, which I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.Mandami adunque un uomo intelligente atto a lavorare d'oro, e d'argento, di bronzo, e di ferro, di porpora, di scarlatto, e di giacinto, e che sappia far lavori di intaglio adoperando cogli artefici, che io ho presso di me nella Giudea, e in Gerusalemme raccolti da David padre mio.Send me therfore a cunning man, that hath skil to worke in gold, and siluer, brasse, and yron, purple, scarlet, and hyacinth, and that knoweth to make engraued workes with these artificers, which I haue with me in Iewrie, and Ierusalem, whom Dauid my father prepared.Mitte ergo mihi virum eruditum, qui noverit operari in auro, et argento, ære, et ferro, purpura, coccino, et hyacintho: et qui sciat sculpere cælaturas cum his artificibus quos mecum habeo in Judæa, et Jerusalem, quos præparavit David pater meus. 8Send me also cedars, and fir trees, and pine trees from Libanus: for I know that thy servants are skilful in cutting timber in Libanus, and my servants shall be with thy servants,E mandami parimente del legname di cedro, e di ginepro, e di pino dal Libano: perocché io so come i tuoi servi sono abili nel lavorare i legnami del Libano, e i miei servi lavoreranno insieme co' tuoi,But send me also cedar trees, firretrees, and pintrees from Libanus: for I know that thy seruantes haue skil to hew the timber of Libanus, and my seruantes shal be with thy seruantes,Sed et ligna cedrina mitte mihi, et arceuthina, et pinea de Libano: scio enim quod servi tui noverint cædere ligna de Libano: et erunt servi mei cum servis tuis, 9To provide me timber in abundance. For the house which I desire to build, is to be exceeding great, and glorious.Affinchè mi si provveda del legname in quantità. Perocché la casa, ch'io bramo di edificare, ha da essere grandissima, e magnifica.that manie trees may be prepared for me. For the house which I desire to build, is exceding great, and glorious.ut parentur mihi ligna plurima. Domus enim quam cupio ædificare, magna est nimis, et inclyta.

10And I will give thy servants the workmen that are to cut down the trees, for their food twenty thousand cores of wheat, and as many cores of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of oil.Or io a' tuoi servi, che lavoreranno attorno ai legnami, darò pel loro vitto venti mila cori di grano, e altrettanti di orzo, e venti mila metrete di vino, e venti mila sati di olio.Moreouer to the workemen, that shal hew the trees, thy seruantes, I wil geue for victuals of wheat twentie thousand cores, and of barley as manie cores, and of wine twentie thousand, oyle also twentie thousand satesPræterea operariis qui cæsuri sunt ligna, servis tuis, dabo in cibaria tritici coros viginti millia, et hordei coros totidem, et vini viginti millia metretas, olei quoque sata viginti millia. 11And Hiram king of Tyre sent a letter to Solomon, saying: Because the Lord hath loved his people, therefore he hath made thee king over them.E Hiram re di Tiro, nella lettera, che scrisse a Salomone, così diceva: Perchè il Signore ha amato il suo popolo, per questo ne ha dato a te il governo.And Hiram the king of Tyre by letters, which he sent to Salomon, sayd: Because the Lord loued his people, therfore hath he made thee to reigne ouer it.Dixit autem Hiram rex Tyri per litteras quas miserat Salomoni: Quia dilexit Dominus populum suum, idcirco te regnare fecit super eum. 12And he added, saying: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who hath given to king David a wise and knowing son, endued with understanding and prudence, to build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.E soggiungeva: Benedetto il Signore Dio d'Israele, che fece il cielo, e la terra, il quale ha dato al re David un figliuolo sapiente, scienziato, e pieno di senno, e di prudenza, affinchè questi edificasse una casa al Signore, e un palazzo per se.And he added, saying: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, that made heauen and earth, who hath geuen to Dauid the king a sonne wise and learned, and of vnderstanding, and prudent, to build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.Et addidit, dicens: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui fecit cælum et terram: qui dedit David regi filium sapientem et eruditum et sensatum atque prudentem, ut ædificaret domum Domino, et palatium sibi. 13I therefore have sent thee my father Hiram, a wise and most skilful man,Ho adunque mandato a te un uomo virtuoso, e di grandissima capacità, Hiram mio padre,I therfore haue sent thee a man wise and most skilful Hiram, my father,Misi ergo tibi virum prudentem et scientissimum Hiram patrem meum, 14The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, and in marble, and in timber, in purple also, and violet, and silk and scarlet: and who knoweth to grave all sort of graving, and to devise ingeniously all that there may be need of in the work with thy artificers, and with the artificers of my lord David thy father.Figliuolo di una donna della tribù di Dan, di padre di Tiro, il quale sa lavorare d'oro, e d'argento, di bronzo, e di ferro, e di marmo, e d'ogni specie di legno, ed anche di porpora, e di jacinto, e di bisso; e di scarlatto: e il quale sa fare ogni maniera d'intagli, e inventare ingegnosamente tutto quello, che occorra per qualunque lavoro, e starà co' tuoi artefici, e con quelli del signor mio David tuo padre.the sonne of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knoweth to worke in gold, and siluer, brasse, and yron, and marble, and in timber, in purple also, and hiacinth, and silke and scarlet: and that knoweth to graue al engrauing, and to deuise wisely whatsoeuer in the worke is necessarie with thy artificers, and with the artificers of my lord Dauid thy father.filium mulieris de filiabus Dan, cujus pater fuit Tyrius, qui novit operari in auro, et argento, ære, et ferro, et marmore, et lignis, in purpura quoque, et hyacintho, et bysso, et coccino: et qui scit cælare omnem sculpturam, et adinvenire prudenter quodcumque in opere necessarium est cum artificibus tuis, et cum artificibus domini mei David patris tui.

15The wheat therefore, and the barley and the oil, and the wine, which thou, my lord, hast promised, send to thy servants.Manda pertanto, signor mio, a' tuoi servi il grano, e l'orzo, l'olio, e il vino, che hai promesso.The wheate therfore, and barley, and oile, and wine, which thou my lord hast promised, send to thy seruantes.Triticum ergo, et hordeum, et oleum, et vinum, quæ pollicitus es, domine mi, mitte servis tuis. 16And we will cut down as many trees out of Libanus, as thou shalt want, and will convey them in floats by sea to Joppe: and it will be thy part to bring them thence to Jerusalem.E noi farem tagliare i legnami del Libano, quanti te ne bisognano, e noi gli uniremo in fodere per condurli per mare a Joppe: e tuo pensiero sarà di trasportargli a Gerusalemme.And we wil cut downe the trees out of Libanus, as manie as shal be necessarie for thee, and wil conuey them in boates by the sea vnto Ioppe: and it shal be thy part to transport them into Ierusalem.Nos autem cædemus ligna de Libano, quot necessaria habueris, et applicabimus ea ratibus per mare in Joppe: tuum autem erit transferre ea in Jerusalem. 17And Solomon numbered all the proselytes in the land of Israel, after the numbering which David his father had made, and they were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.Salomone pertanto fece prendere nota di tutti i proseliti; che erano nella terra d'Israele, dopo il novero fattone da David suo padre, e se ne trovò cento cinquantatre mila secento.Salomon therfore numbred al the men, that were proselytes in the land of Israel, after the numbering which Dauid his father numbered, and they were found an hundred fiftie three thousand and six hundred.Numeravit igitur Salomon omnes viros proselytos qui erant in terra Israël, post dinumerationem quam dinumeravit David pater ejus, et inventi sunt centum quinquaginta millia, et tria millia sexcenti. 18And he set seventy thousand of them to carry burdens on their shoulders, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains: and three thousand and six hundred to be overseers of the work of the people.E di questi ne scelse settanta mila, per portar pesi sulle spalle, e ottantamila, per tagliare le pietre sulle montagne: e tre mila seicento per sovrastanti al lavoro di questa gente.And he made of them seuentie thousand, that should carie burdens on their shoulders, and eightie thousand, that should cut stones out of the mountaynes: and three thousand and six hundred ouerseers of the worke of the people.Fecitque ex eis septuaginta millia qui humeris onera portarent, et octoginta millia qui lapides in montibus cæderent: tria autem millia et sexcentos præpositos operum populi.
