1 Chronicles 29
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And David the king said unto all the congregation: 'Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
1ΚΑΙ εἶπε Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς πάσῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· Σαλωμὼν ὁ υἱός μου, εἰς ὃν ᾑρέτικεν ἐν αὐτῷ Κύριος, νέος καὶ ἁπαλός, καὶ τὸ ἔργον μέγα, ὅτι οὐκ ἀνθρώπῳ, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ.
2Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the brass for the things of brass, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
2κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν ἡτοίμακα εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ μου χρυσίον, ἀργύριον, χαλκόν, σίδηρον, ξύλα, λίθους σοόμ, καὶ πληρώσεως λίθους πολυτελεῖς καὶ ποικίλους καὶ πάντα λίθον τίμιον καὶ Πάριον πολύν.
3Moreover also, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, seeing that I have a treasure of mine own of gold and silver, I give it unto the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
3καὶ ἔτι ἐν τῷ εὐδοκῆσαί με ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ μου ἔστι μοι ὃ περιπεποίημαι χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον, καὶ ἰδοὺ δέδωκα εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ μου εἰς ὕψος, ἐκτὸς ὧν ἡτοίμακα εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῶν ἁγίων,
4even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, wherewith to overlay the walls of the houses;
4τρισχίλια τάλαντα χρυσίου τοῦ ἐκ Σουφὶρ καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου δοκίμου ἐξαλειφῆναι ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς τοίχους τοῦ ἱεροῦ,
5of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. Who then offereth willingly to consecrate himself this day unto the LORD?'
5εἰς τὸ χρυσίον τῷ χρυσίῳ καὶ εἰς τὸ ἀργύριον τῷ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ εἰς πᾶν ἔργον διὰ χειρὸς τῶν τεχνιτῶν. καὶ τίς ὁ προθυμούμενος πληρῶσαι τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ σήμερον Κυρίῳ;
6Then the princes of the fathers' houses, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king's work, offered willingly;
6καὶ προεθυμήθησαν ἄρχοντες πατριῶν καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οἱ χιλίαρχοι καὶ οἱ ἑκατόνταρχοι, καὶ οἱ προστάται τῶν ἔργων καὶ οἱ οἰκοδόμοι τοῦ βασιλέως
7and they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and of iron a hundred thousand talents.
7καὶ ἔδωκαν εἰς τὰ ἔργα τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου χρυσίου τάλαντα πεντακισχίλια καὶ χρυσοῦς μυρίους καὶ ἀργυρίου ταλάντων δέκα χιλιάδας καὶ χαλκοῦ τάλαντα μύρια ὀκτακισχίλια καὶ σιδήρου ταλάντων χιλιάδας ἑκατόν.
8And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
8καὶ οἷς εὑρέθη παρ᾿ αὐτοῖς λίθος, ἔδωκαν εἰς τὰς ἀποθήκας οἴκου Κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς Ἰεϊὴλ τοῦ Γεδσωνί.
9Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with a whole heart they offered willingly to the LORD; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
9καὶ εὐφράνθη ὁ λαὸς ὑπὲρ τοῦ προθυμηθῆναι, ὅτι ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει προεθυμήθησαν τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς εὐφράνθη μεγάλως.
10Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation; and David said: 'Blessed be Thou, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
10καὶ εὐλόγησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τὸν Κύριον ἐνώπιον τῆς ἐκκλησίας λέγων· εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
11Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and Thou art exalted as head above all.
11σοί, Κύριε, ἡ μεγαλωσύνη καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ τὸ καύχημα καὶ ἡ νίκη καὶ ἡ ἰσχύς, ὅτι σὺ πάντων τῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς δεσπόζεις, ἀπὸ προσώπου σου ταράσσεται πᾶς βασιλεὺς καὶ ἔθνος.
12Both riches and honour come of Thee, and Thou rulest over all; and in Thy hand is power and might; and in Thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
12παρὰ σοῦ ὁ πλοῦτος καὶ ἡ δόξα, σὺ πάντων ἄρχεις, Κύριε, ὁ ἄρχων πάσης ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἐν χειρί σου ἰσχὺς καὶ δυναστεία, καὶ ἐν χειρί σου, παντοκράτωρ, μεγαλῦναι καὶ κατισχῦσαι τὰ πάντα.
13Now therefore, our God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy glorious name.
13καὶ νῦν, Κύριε, ἐξομολογούμεθά σοι καὶ αἰνοῦμεν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς καυχήσεώς σου.
14But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee.
14καὶ τίς εἰμι ἐγὼ καὶ τίς ὁ λαός μου, ὅτι ἰσχύσαμεν προθυμηθῆναί σοι κατὰ ταῦτα; ὅτι σὰ τὰ πάντα, καὶ ἐκ τῶν σῶν δεδώκαμέν σοι.
15For we are strangers before Thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.
15ὅτι πάροικοί ἐσμεν ἐναντίον σου καὶ παροικοῦντες ὡς πάντες οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν· ὡς σκιὰ αἱ ἡμέραι ἡμῶν ἐπὶ γῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπομονή.
16O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build Thee a house for Thy holy name cometh of Thy hand, and is all Thine own.
16Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, πρὸς πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος τοῦτο, ὃ ἡτοίμακα οἰκοδομηθῆναι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ σου, ἐκ χειρός σού ἐστι, καὶ σοὶ τὰ πάντα.
17I know also, my God, that Thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now have I seen with joy Thy people, that are present here, offer willingly unto Thee.
17καὶ ἔγνων, Κύριε, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐτάζων καρδίας καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἀγαπᾶς· ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας προεθυμήθην ταῦτα πάντα, καὶ νῦν τὸν λαόν σου τὸν εὑρεθέντα ὧδε εἶδον ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ προθυμηθέντα σοι.
18O LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever, even the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Thy people, and direct their heart unto Thee;
18Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰσραήλ, τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, φύλαξον ταῦτα ἐν διανοίᾳ καρδίας λαοῦ σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ κατεύθυνον τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν πρός σε.
19and give unto Solomon my son a whole heart, to keep Thy commandments, Thy testimonies, and Thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made, provision.'
19καὶ Σαλωμὼν τῷ υἱῷ μου δὸς καρδίαν ἀγαθὴν ποιεῖν τὰς ἐντολάς σου καὶ τὰ μαρτύριά σου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά σου καὶ τοῦ ἐπὶ τέλους ἀγαγεῖν τὴν κατασκευὴν τοῦ οἴκου σου.
20And David said to all the congregation: 'Now bless the LORD your God.' And all the congregation blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and prostrated themselves before the LORD, and before the king.
20καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πάσῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· εὐλογήσατε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν· καὶ εὐλόγησε πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ κάμψαντες τὰ γόνατα προσεκύνησαν τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ.
21And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel;
21καὶ ἔθυσε Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ θυσίας καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ Θεῷ τῇ ἐπαύριον τῆς πρώτης ἡμέρας μόσχους χιλίους, κριοὺς χιλίους, ἄρνας χιλίους καὶ τὰς σπονδὰς αὐτῶν καὶ θυσίας εἰς πλῆθος παντὶ τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
22and did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be prince, and Zadok to be priest.
22καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ μετὰ χαρᾶς καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐκ δευτέρου τὸν Σαλωμὼν υἱὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν τῷ Κυρίῳ εἰς βασιλέα καὶ Σαδὼκ εἰς ἱερωσύνην.
23Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel hearkened to him.
23καὶ ἐκάθισε Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐδοκήθη, καὶ ὑπήκουσαν αὐτοῦ πᾶς Ἰσραήλ·
24And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
24οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ οἱ δυνάσται καὶ πάντες υἱοὶ Δαυὶδ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὑπετάγησαν αὐτῷ.
25And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
25καὶ ἐμεγάλυνε Κύριος τὸν Σαλωμὼν ἐπάνωθεν παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ δόξαν βασιλέως, ὃ οὐκ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ παντὸς βασιλέως ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
26Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
26καὶ Δαυὶδ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ
27And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
27ἔτη τεσσαράκοντα, ἐν Χεβρὼν ἔτη ἑπτὰ καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔτη τριακοντατρία.
28And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour; and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
28καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν ἐν γήρᾳ καλῷ, πλήρης ἡμερῶν, πλούτῳ καὶ δόξῃ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Σαλωμὼν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
29Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Samuel the seer, and in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Gad the seer;
29οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ λόγοι τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυίδ, οἱ πρότεροι καὶ οἱ ὕστεροι, γεγραμμένοι εἰσὶν ἐν λόγοις Σαμουὴλ τοῦ βλέποντος καὶ ἐπὶ λόγων Νάθαν τοῦ προφήτου καὶ ἐπὶ λόγων Γὰδ τοῦ βλέποντος
30with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
30περὶ πάσης τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς δυναστείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ καιροί, οἳ ἐγένοντο ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας βασιλείας τῆς γῆς.
