5 — 3 Kings (1 Kings)

1And 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.Oltre a ciò Hiram re di Tiro mandò suoi ambasciadori a Salomone, avendo udito com' egli era stato unto re in luogo del padre suo: conciossiachè Hiram era stato in ogni tempo amico di Davidde.HIRAM also the king of Tyre sent his seruantes to Salomon: for he heard that they had auointed him king for his father: because Hiram had bene Dauids frend at al time.Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri servos suos ad Salomonem: audivit enim quod ipsum unxissent regem pro patre ejus: quia amicus fuerat Hiram David omni tempore. 2And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:E Salomone mandò i suoi ad Hiram, e gli fece dire:And Salomon sent to Hiram, saying:Misit autem Salomon ad Hiram, dicens: 3Thou 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.E a te noto il desiderio di Davidde mio padre, e come egli non potè edificare la casa al nome del Signore Dio suo a motivo delle guerre, che egli sostenne da tutte le parti, fino a tanto che il Signore abbattè a' piedi di lui i nemici.Thou knowest the wil of Dauid my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of our Lord his God, because of warres imminent round about vntil our Lord put them vnder the sole of his feete.Tu scis voluntatem David patris mei, et quia non potuerit ædificare domum nomini Domini Dei sui propter bella imminentia per circuitum, donec daret Dominus eos sub vestigio pedum ejus. 4But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about; and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.Adesso poi il Signore Dio mio mi ha data pace da ogni parte, e non havvi avversario, nè accidente sinistro.But now our Lord my God hath geuen me rest round about: and there is no satan, nor il rencounter.Nunc autem requiem dedit Dominus Deus meus mihi per circuitum, et non est satan, neque occursus malus. 5Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: Thy son, whom I will set upon the throne, in thy place, he shall build a house to my name.Per la qual cosa io ho in animo di fabbricare un tempio al nome del Signore Dio mio, conforme il Signore orinò a Davidde mio padre, dicendo: Il tuo figliuolo, cui io surrogherò a te nel tuo trono, egli fabbricherà la casa al nome mio.Wherfore I purpose to build a temple to the name of our Lord my God, as our Lord hath spoken to Dauid my father, saying: Thy sonne, whom I wil geue for thee vpon thy throne, he shal build a house to my name.Quam ob rem cogito ædificare templum nomini Domini Dei mei, sicut locutus est Dominus David patri meo, dicens: Filius tuus, quem dabo pro te super solium tuum, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo.

6Give 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.Ordina adunque, che i tuoi servi taglino per me dei cedri del Libano, e i miei servi saranno insieme co' tuoi servi, e ti pagherò pel salario de' tuoi servi tutto quello, che domanderai: perocché tu ben sai, che non v'ha alcuno del popol mio, che sappia tagliare il legname, come sanno quei di Sidone.Command therfore that thy seruantes cut me downe cedres out of Libanus, and let my seruantes be with thy seruantes: and I wil geue thee the hire of thy seruantes whatsoeuer thou wilt aske, for thou knowest how there is not in my people a man that hath skil to hew wood as the Sidonians.Præcipe igitur ut præcidant 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 cædere sicut Sidonii. 7Now 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.Avendo adunque sentito Hiram le parole di Salomone, ne ebbe gran piacere, e disse: Benedetto sia oggi il Signore Dio, il quale ha dato a Davidde un figliuolo sapientissimo, per reggere un popolo così numeroso.When Hiram therfore had heard the wordes of Salomon, he reioysed excedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath geuen vnto Dauid a sonne most wise ouer this people so great in number.Cum ergo audisset Hiram verba Salomonis, lætatus est valde, et ait: Benedictus Dominus Deus hodie, qui dedit David filium sapientissimum super populum hunc plurimum. 8And 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.E Hiram mandò a dire a Salomone: Ho inteso tutto quello, che tu mi domandi: io farò tutto quel, che tu vuoi riguardo ai legnami di cedro, e di abete.And Hiram sent to Salomon, saying: I haue heard whatsoeuer thou hast willed me: I wil doe al thy wil in cedre trees, and firre trees.Et misit Hiram ad Salomonem, dicens: Audivi quæcumque mandasti mihi: ego faciam omnem voluntatem tuam in lignis cedrinis et abiegnis. 9My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats, on 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.I miei servi li porteranno dal Libano al mare: e io ne farò formare delle fodere sul mare, per trasmettergli al luogo, che tu mi additerai: e ivi li farò posare: e tu li farai ritirare: e mi darai quello, che mi bisogna pel vitto della mia casa.My seruantes shal bring them downe from Libanus to the sea and I wil put them in boates in the sea, vnto the place, which thou shalt signifie to me; and wil land them there, and thou shalt take them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, that there be meate geuen for my house.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: præbebisque necessaria mihi, ut detur cibus domui meæ.

10So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire.Hiram pertanto dava a Salomone del legname di cedro, e di abete quanto ei ne voleva.Therfore Hiram gaue Salomon cedre trees, and firre trees, according to al his wil.Itaque Hiram dabat Salomoni ligna cedrina, et ligna abiegna, juxta omnem voluntatem ejus. 11And 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.E Salomone dava ad Hiram venti mila cori di grano pel mantenimento della sua casa e venti cori d'olio finissimo: tutto questo dava Salomone ad Hiram anno per anno.And Salomon allowed Hiram twentie thousand cores of wheate, for prouision for his house, and twentie cores of 〈◊〉 pure oile: these thinges did Salomon geue to Hiram euerie yeare.Salomon autem præbebat Hiram coros tritici viginti millia in cibum domui ejus, et viginti coros purissimi olei: hæc tribuebat Salomon Hiram per singulos annos. 12And 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.E il Signore diede a Salomone la saggezza, conforme gli avea promesso: ed era pace tra Hiram, e Salomone, e fecero tra di loro alleanza.Our Lord also gaue wisedom to Salomon, as he spake to him: & there was peace betwen Hiram & Salomon, and both made a league.Dedit quoque Dominus sapientiam Salomoni, sicut locutus est ei: et erat pax inter Hiram et Salomonem, et percusserunt ambo fœdus. 13And king Solomon chose workmen out of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men.E il re Salomone scelse degli operai da tutto Israele, e furono comandati trenta mila uomini.And king Salomon chose workmen out of al Israel, and the taxed number was of thirtie thousand men.Elegitque rex Salomon operarios de omni Israël, et erat indictio triginta millia virorum. 14And 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.E mandavagli al Libano a vicenda, dieci mila ogni mese: talmente che per due mesi se ne stavano alle case loro: e Adoniram era preposto a questa comandata.And he sent them into Libanus, ten thousand euerie moneth by course, so that two monethes they were in their houses: and Adoniram was ouer this taxing.Mittebatque eos in Libanum, decem millia per menses singulos vicissim, ita ut duobus mensibus essent in domibus suis: et Adoniram erat super hujuscemodi indictione. 15And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:E avea Salomone settanta mila uomini, che portavano i pesi, e ottanta mila scarpellini sulla montagna:And Salomon had seuentie thousand of them that caried burdens, and eightie thousand hewers of stones in the mountaine:Fueruntque Salomoni septuaginta millia eorum qui onera portabant, et octoginta millia latomorum in monte,

16Besides 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.Senza contare quelli, che presedevano a' varj lavori, in numero di tre mila trecento, i quali dirigevano la gente, e i lavoratori.besides the ouerseers which were ouer euerie worke, in number three thousand, and three hundred that commanded the people, and them that did the worke.absque præpositis qui præerant singulis operibus, numero trium millium et trecentorum, præcipientium populo et his qui faciebant opus. 17And the king commanded that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:E il re comandò, che si prendessero pietre grandi, pietre di pregio pe' fondamenti del tempio, e le riquadrassero:And the king commanded, that they should take great stones, chosen stones for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:Præcepitque rex ut tollerent lapides grandes, lapides pretiosos in fundamentum templi, et quadrarent eos: 18And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram, hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house.E le tagliarono gli scarpellini di Salomone, e quelli di Hiram: e quelli di Giblos lavorarono il legname, e le pietre per la fabbrica della casa.which the masons of Salomon, and masons of Hiram hewed: moreouer the Giblians prepared timber and stones, to build the house.quos dolaverunt cæmentarii Salomonis et cæmentarii Hiram: porro Giblii præparaverunt ligna et lapides ad ædificandam domum.
