1 Chronicles

The first book of the Chronicles, chapter 22, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 22 Vulgate

   1 Dixitque David: "Haec est domus Domini Dei, et hoc est altare holocausti pro Israel".
   2 Et praecepit, ut congregarentur omnes advenae de terra Israel, et constituit ex eis latomos ad caedendos lapides et poliendos, ut aedificaretur domus Dei.
   3 Ferrum quoque plurimum ad clavos ianuarum et ad commissuras atque iuncturas praeparavit David et aeris pondus innumerabile.
   4 Ligna quoque cedrina non poterant aestimari, quae Sidonii et Tyrii deportaverant ad David.
   5 Et dixit David: "Salomon filius meus puer parvulus est et tener; domus autem, quae aedificanda est Domino, talis esse debet, ut in cunctis regionibus nominetur et glorificetur. Praeparabo ergo ei necessaria". Et ob hanc causam ante mortem suam omnes paravit impensas.
   6 Vocavitque Salomonem filium suum et praecepit ei, ut aedificaret domum Domino, Deo Israel;
   7 dixitque David ad Salomonem: "Fili mi, voluntatis meae fuit, ut aedificarem domum nomini Domini Dei mei,
   8 sed factus est ad me sermo Domini dicens: "Multum sanguinem effudisti et magna bella bellasti. Non poteris aedificare domum nomini meo, tanto effuso sanguine coram me.
   9 Filius, qui nascetur tibi, erit vir quietissimus; faciam enim eum requiescere ab omnibus inimicis suis per circuitum et ob hanc causam Salomon vocabitur, et pacem et otium dabo in Israel cunctis diebus eius.
   10 Ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo, et ipse erit mihi in filium, et ego ero ei in patrem; firmaboque solium regni eius super Israel in aeternum".
   11 Nunc ergo, fili mi, sit Dominus tecum; et prosperare et aedifica domum Domino Deo tuo, sicut locutus est de te.
   12 Tantum det tibi Dominus prudentiam et sensum, ut regere possis Israel et custodire legem Domini Dei tui;
   13 tunc enim proficere poteris, si custodieris mandata et iudicia, quae praecepit Dominus Moysi super Israel. Confortare et viriliter age; ne timeas neque paveas.
   14 Ecce ego in labore meo praeparavi impensas domus Domini: auri talenta centum milia et argenti mille milia talentorum, aeris vero et ferri non est pondus, vincitur enim numerus magnitudine. Ligna et lapides praeparavi; tu autem ad ea adicies.
   15 Habes quoque plurimos artifices latomos et caementarios artificesque lignorum et omnium artium ad faciendum opus prudentissimos
   16 in auro et argento et aere et ferro, cuius non est numerus. Surge igitur et fac, et erit Dominus tecum".
   17 Praecepit quoque David cunctis principibus Israel, ut adiuvarent Salomonem filium suum: "
   18 Cernitis, inquiens, quod Dominus Deus vester vobiscum sit et dederit vobis requiem per circuitum et tradiderit habitatores terrae in manu vestra, et subiecta sit terra coram Domino et coram populo eius.
   19 Praebete igitur corda vestra et animas vestras, ut quaeratis Dominum Deum vestrum; et consurgite et aedificate sanctuarium Domini Dei, ut introducatur arca foederis Domini et vasa Deo consecrata in domum, quae aedificatur nomini Domini".

King James Version

   1 Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
   2 And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
   3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;
   4 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
   5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
   6 ¶ Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
   7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
   8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
   9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
   10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
   11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
   12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.
   13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
   14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
   15 Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
   16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.
   17 ¶ David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
   18 Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.
   19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
