Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
1Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ εἴκοσι ἔτη ἐν οἷς ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὑτοῦ,
2Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
2καὶ τὰς πόλεις ἃς ἔδωκε Χιρὰμ τῷ Σαλωμὼν, ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτὰς Σαλωμὼν, καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐκεῖ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.
3Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
3Καὶ ἦλθε Σαλωμὼν εἰς Βαισωβὰ, καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτήν.
4He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
4Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Θοεδμὸρ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς ἃς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν Ἠμάθ.
5He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
5Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Βαιθωρὼν τὴν ἄνω καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρὼν τὴν κάτω, πόλεις ὀχυράς· τείχη, πύλαι, καὶ μοχλοί·
6as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
6Καὶ τὴν Βαλαὰθ, καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς αἳ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμὼν, καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἁρμάτων, καὶ τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἱππέων· καὶ ὅσα ἐπεθύμησε Σαλωμὼν κατὰ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ.
7As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
7Πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ καταλειφθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ Χετταίου, καὶ τοῦ Ἀμοῥῥαίου, καὶ τοῦ Φερεζαίου, καὶ τοῦ Εὐαίου, καὶ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου, οἳ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἐκ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ,
8their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
8ἀλλʼ ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν τῶν καταλειφθέντων μετʼ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ, οὓς οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς Σαλωμὼν εἰς φόρον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
9But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
9Καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔδωκε Σαλωμὼν εἰς παῖδας τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ· ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες πολεμισταὶ καὶ ἄρχοντες, καὶ οἱ δυνατοὶ καὶ ἄρχοντες ἁρμάτων καὶ ἱππέων.
10They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
10Καὶ οὗτοι ἄρχοντες τῶν προστατῶν βασιλέως Σαλωμὼν, πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσιοι ἐργοδιωκτοῦντες ἐν τῷ λαῷ.
11Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
11Καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραὼ ἀνήγαγε Σαλωμὼν ἐκ πόλεως Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτῇ, ὅτι εἶπεν, οὐ κατοικήσει ἡ γυνή μου ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι ἅγιός ἐστιν οὗ εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ κιβωτὸς Κυρίου.
12At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
12Τότε ἀνήνεγκε Σαλωμὼν ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ὃ ᾠκοδόμησε Κυρίῳ ἀπέναντι τοῦ ναοῦ
13He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
13κατὰ τὸν λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, τοῦ ἀναφέρειν κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς Μωυσῆ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις, καὶ ἐν τοῖς μησὶ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς, τρεῖς καιροὺς τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ, ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ τῶν ἀζύμων, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐορτῇ τῶν ἐβδομάδων, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ τῶν σκηνῶν.
14In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
14Καὶ ἔστησε κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατοὸς αὐτοῦ τὰς διαιρέσεις τῶν ἱερέων, καὶ κατὰ τὰς λειτουργίας αὐτῶν· καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐπὶ τὰς φυλακὰς αὐτῶν, τοῦ αἰνεῖν καὶ λειτουργεῖν κατέναντι τῶν ἱερέων κατὰ τὸν λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ ἡμερᾳ· καὶ οἱ πυλωροὶ κατὰ τὰς διαιρέσεις αὐτῶν εἰς πύλην καὶ πύλην, ὅτι οὕτως ἐντολαὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ·
15They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
15Οὐ παρῆλθον τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ βασιλέως περὶ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν εἰς πάντα λόγον, καὶ εἰς τοὺς θησαυρούς.
16Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
16Καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐργασία ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐθεμελιώθη ἕως οὗ ἐτελείωσε Σαλωμὼν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
17Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
17Τότε ᾤχετο Σαλωμὼν εἰς Γασιὼν Γαβὲρ, καὶ εἰς τὴν Αἰλὰθ τὴν παραθαλασσίαν ἐν γῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ.
18So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
18Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Χιρὰμ ἐν χειρὶ παίδων αὐτοῦ πλοῖα καὶ παῖδας εἰδότας θάλασσαν, καὶ ᾤχοντο μετὰ τῶν παίδων Σαλωμὼν εἰς Σωφιρὰ, καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν τὰ τετρακόσια καὶ πεντήκοντα τάλαντα χρυσίου, καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμών.
