1And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, fire came down from heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of the Lord filled the house.Finito che ebbe Salomone di spander le sue preghiere, cadde fuoco dal cielo, il quale divorò gli olocausti, e le vittime, e la maestà del Signore riempie la casa.AND when Salomon had finished to poure out his prayers, fyre descended from heauen, and deuoured the holocaustes and victimes: and the maiestie of our Lord filled the house.Cumque complesset Salomon fundens preces, ignis descendit de cælo, et devoravit holocausta et victimas: et majestas Domini implevit domum. 2Neither could the priests enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.E non potevano i sacerdoti entrar nel tempio del Signore, perchè la maestà del Signore avea ripieno il suo tempio.Neither could the Priestes enter into the Temple of our Lord, because the maiestie of our Lord had filled the temple of our Lord.Nec poterant sacerdotes ingredi templum Domini, eo quod implesset majestas Domini templum Domini. 3Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.Ma tutti ancora i figliuoli d'Israele vedevano il fuoco discendere, e la gloria del Signore sopra la casa: e prostratisi bocconi per terra sopra il pavimento lastricato di pietra, adorarono, e lodarono il Signore, come quegli, che è buono, e di cui la misericordia è eterna.Yea and al the children of Israel sawe the fyre descending, and the glorie of our Lord vpon the house: and falling flat on the earth vpon the pauement paued with stone, they adored, and praysed our Lord: Because he is good, because his mercie is for euer.Sed et omnes filii Israël videbant descendentem ignem, et gloriam Domini super domum: et corruentes proni in terram super pavimentum stratum lapide, adoraverunt, et laudaverunt Dominum, quoniam bonus, quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus. 4And the king and all the people sacrificed victims before the Lord.E il re, e tutto il popolo immolavan vittime dinanzi al Signore.And the king and al the people immolated victimes before our Lord.Rex autem et omnis populus immolabant victimas coram Domino. 5And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and twenty thousand rams: and the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.Or il re Salomone offerse in vittime ventidue mila bovi, e cento venti mila arieti: e il re con tutto il popolo fece la consagrazione della casa di Dio.. King Salomon therfore killed hostes, of oxen twentie two thousand, of rammes an hundred twentie thousand: and the king and al the people dedicated the house of God.Mactavit igitur rex Salomon hostias, boum viginti duo millia, arietum centum viginti millia: et dedicavit domum Dei rex, et universus populus.
6And the priests stood in their offices: and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord, which king David made to praise the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever, singing the hymns of David by their ministry: and the priests sounded with trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.E i sacerdoti erano intenti agli uffici loro, e i Leviti cantavano sugli strumenti gli inni del Signore fatti dal re Davidde, per lodare il Signore, la misericordia del quale è eterna. Così ei cantavano gli inni di David sui loro strumenti: e i sacerdoti dirimpetto ad essi sonavan le trombe, e tutto Israele si stava in piedi.And the Priestes stood in their offices: and the Leuites with the instrumentes of the songues of our Lord, which Dauid the king made to prayse our Lord: Because his mercie is for euer, singing the hymnes of Dauid by their handes: moreouer the Priestes sounded with trumpettes before them, and al Israel stood.Sacerdotes autem stabant in officiis suis, et Levitæ in organis carminum Domini, quæ fecit David rex ad laudandum Dominum: Quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus, hymnos David canentes per manus suas: porro sacerdotes canebant tubis ante eos, cunctusque Israël stabat. 7Solomon also sanctified the middle of the court before the temple of the Lord: for he offered there the holocausts, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar, which he had made, could not hold the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat:Salomone santificò anche la parte di mezzo dell'atrio dinanzi al tempio del Signore: perocché ivi egli avea offerti olocausti, e il grasso delle ostie pacifiche: perchè l'altare di bronzo, che egli avea fatto, non poteva essere sufficiente per gli olocausti, e pe' sagrifizj, e pel grasso delle ostie pacifiche.Salomon also sanctified the middes of the court before the temple of our Lord: for he had offered there the holocaustes, and the fatte of the pacifiques: because the brasen altar, which he had made, could not susteyne the holocaustes and the sacrifices and the fatte.Sanctificavit quoque Salomon medium atrii ante templum Domini: obtulerat enim ibi holocausta et adipes pacificorum: quia altare æneum quod fecerat, non poterat sustinere holocausta et sacrificia et adipes. 8And Solomon kept the solemnity at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Emath to the torrent of Egypt.Celebrò adunque Salomone in quel tempo la festa solenne per sette giorni, e con lui tutto Israele raunato in grandissima moltitudine, dall'ingresso di Emath fino al torrente d'Egitto.Salomon therfore made a solemnitie at that time seuen daies, and al Israel with him, an assemblie verie great, from the entrance of Emath to the Torrent of Aegypt.Fecit ergo Salomon solemnitatem in tempore illo septem diebus, et omnis Israël cum eo, ecclesia magna valde, ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Ægypti. 9And he made on the eighth day a solemn assembly, because he had kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and had celebrated the solemnity seven days.E l'ottavo giorno fece la festa della raunata solenne per aver fatta per sette dì la dedicazione dell'altare, e celebrata per sette dì la solennità.And he made in the eight day an assemblie, because he had dedicated the altar seuen daies, and had celebrated the solemnitie seuen daies.Fecitque die octavo collectam, eo quod dedicasset altare septem diebus, et solemnitatem celebrasset diebus septem.
10So on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent away the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad for the good that the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to all Israel his people.Quindi ai ventitre del settimo mese rimandò alle sue tende il popolo lieto, e pieno di giubilo a motivo dei benefizj fatti dal Signore a Davidde, e a Salomone, e ad Israele suo popolo.Therfore in the three and twenteth day of the seuenth moneth, he dismist the people to their tabernacles, reioysing and being glad for the good, that our Lord had done to Dauid, and Salomon, and Israel his people.Igitur in die vigesimo tertio mensis septimi, dimisit populos ad tabernacula sua, lætantes atque gaudentes super bono quod fecerat Dominus Davidi, et Salomoni, et Israëli populo suo. 11And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered.E Salomone ridusse a perfezione la casa del Signore, e la casa del re, e tutto quello, che aveva ideato in cuor suo di fare nella casa del Signore, e nella propria casa; e fu felice.And Salomon accomplished the house of our Lord, and the house of the king, and al that he had disposed in his hart to do, in the house of our Lord, and in his owne house, and he prospered.Complevitque Salomon domum Domini, et domum regis, et omnia quæ disposuerat in corde suo ut faceret in domo Domini, et in domo sua, et prosperatus est. 12And the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.E il Signore gli apparve di notte, e disse: Ho udita la tua orazione, e ho eletto questo luogo per me, come casa di sagrifizio.And our Lord appeared to him by night, and sayd: I haue heard thy prayer, and haue chosen this place to me for a house of sacrifice.Apparuit autem ei Dominus nocte, et ait: Audivi orationem tuam, et elegi locum istum mihi in domum sacrificii. 13If I shut up heaven, and there fall no rain, or if I give orders, and command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people:Se io chiuderò il cielo, e non cadrà stilla di pioggia, e darò commissione, e ordine alle locuste di divorare la terra, e manderò nel mio popolo la pestilenza:If I shal shut heauen, and rayne fal not, and shal bid and command the locust to deuoure the land, and shal send pestilence into my people:Si clausero cælum, et pluvia non fluxerit, et mandavero et præcepero locustæ ut devoret terram, et misero pestilentiam in populum meum:
14And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.E convertitosi il mio popolo, che prende il nome da me, mi pregherà, e cercherà di placarmi, e farà penitenza della sua mala vita; io pur dal cielo gli esaudirò, e sarò propizio ai loro peccati, e da' suoi mali libererò il loro paese.and my people being conuerted, vpon whom my name is inuocated, shal besech me, and seeke out my face, and shal doe penance from their most wicked waies: I also wil heare from heauen, and wil be propitious to their sinnes, and wil saue their land.conversus autem populus meus, super quos invocatum est nomen meum, deprecatus me fuerit, et exquisierit faciem meam, et egerit pœnitentiam a viis suis pessimis: et ego exaudiam de cælo, et propitius ero peccatis eorum, et sanabo terram eorum. 15My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place.Egli occhi miei saranno aperti, e intente le mie orecchie all'orazione di chiunque mi invocherà in questo luogo.Mine eies also shal be opened, and mine eares erected to his prayer, that shal pray in this place.Oculi quoque mei erunt aperti, et aures meæ erectæ ad orationem ejus, qui in loco isto oraverit. 16For I have chosen, and have sanctified this place, that my name may be there for ever, and my eyes and my heart may remain there perpetually.Perocché questo luogo ho io eletto, e santificato, affinchè egli porti in eterno il mio nome, e fissi siano sopra di esso gli occhi miei, e il cuor mio in ogni tempo.For I haue chosen, and haue sanctified this place, that my name may be there for euer, and mine eies and my hart may remaine there al daies.Elegi enim, et sanctificavi locum istum, ut sit nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et permaneant oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus. 17And as for thee, if thou walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and keep my justices and my judgments:Tu pure se camminerai dinanzi a me, come camminò Davidde tuo padre, e farai in tutto, e per tutto secondo quello, ch'io ti ho insegnato, e osserverai i miei comandamenti, e le mie leggi;Thou also if thou walke before me, as Dauid thy father walked, and shalt doe according to al thinges, which I haue commanded thee, and shalt keepe my iustices and iudgementes:Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me, sicut ambulaverit David pater tuus, et feceris juxta omnia quæ præcepi tibi, et justitias meas judiciaque servaveris: 18I will raise up the throne of thy kingdom, as I promised to David thy father, saying: There shall not fail thee a man of thy stock to be ruler in Israel.Stabilirò il trono del tuo regno, come promisi a David tuo padre, dicendogli: Non mancherà giammai chi della tua discendenza il regno abbia d'Israele.I wil rayse vp the throne of thy kingdom, as I promised to Dauid thy father, saying: There shal not be taken away of thy stocke a man, that shal be prince in Israel.suscitabo thronum regni tui, sicut pollicitus sum David patri tuo, dicens: Non auferetur de stirpe tua vir qui sit princeps in Israël.
19But if you turn away, and forsake my justices, and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve strange gods, and adore them,Ma se voi vi alienerete da me, e abbandonerete i miei comandamenti, e i miei precetti intimativi da me, andrete a servire gli dei stranieri, e gli adorerete,But if you shal be turned away, and shal forsake my iustices, and my preceptes, which I haue proposed to you, and going shal serue strange goddes, and adore them,Si autem aversi fueritis, et dereliqueritis justitias meas, et præcepta mea quæ proposui vobis, et abeuntes servieritis diis alienis, et adoraveritis eos, 20I will pluck you up by the root out of my land which I have given you: and this house which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast away from before my face, and will make it a byword, and an example among all nations.Io vi estirperò dalla terra, ch'io diedi a voi: e questa casa consagrata al nome mio io me la torrò dagli occhi, e farò che divenga favola, ed esempio a tutte le genti.I wil plucke you out of my land, which I haue geuen you: and this house, which I haue sanctified to my name, I wil cast away from my face, and wil deliuer it for a parable, and an exemple to al peoples.evellam vos de terra mea quam dedi vobis: et domum hanc, quam sanctificavi nomini meo, projiciam a facie mea, et tradam eam in parabolam, et in exemplum cunctis populis. 21And this house shall be for a proverb to all that pass by, and they shall be astonished and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?E questa casa sarà lo scherno di tutti i passeggieri, e con istupore diranno: Per qual motivo il Signore ha trattato così questo paese, e questaAnd this house shal be for a prouerbe to al passengers, and they shal say being astonyshed: Why hath the Lord done so to this land, and to this house?Et domus ista erit in proverbium universis transeuntibus, et dicent stupentes: Quare fecit Dominus sic terræ huic, et domui huic ? 22And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore all these evils are come upon them.E sarà loro risposto: Perchè hanno abbandonato il Signore Dio de' padri loro, che li trasse dalla terra d'Egitto, e hanno abbracciati gli dei stranieri, e gli hanno adorati, e onorati: per questo son caduti sopra di essi tutti questi flagelli.And they shal answer: Because they forsooke the Lord the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the Land of Aegypt, and tooke hold of strange goddes, and adored them, and worshipped them: therfore are al these euils come vpon them.Respondebuntque: Quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum patrum suorum, qui eduxit eos de terra Ægypti, et apprehenderunt deos alienos, et adoraverunt eos, et coluerunt: idcirco venerunt super eos universa hæc mala.
