The Second Book of Chronicles, Chapter 8ΠΑΡΑΛΕΙΠΟΜΕΝΩΝ Β′ Η′

καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ εἴκοσι ἔτη ἐν οἷς ᾠκοδόμησεν Σαλωμων τὸν οἶκον κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον ἑαυτοῦ

And it came to pass after twenty years, in which Solomon built the house of the Lord and his own house,

καὶ τὰς πόλεις ἃς ἔδωκεν Χιραμ τῷ Σαλωμων ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτὰς Σαλωμων καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐκεῖ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ

that Solomon rebuilt the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon and settled the sons of Israel there.

καὶ ἦλθεν Σαλωμων εἰς Αιμαθ Σωβα καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτήν

And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and prevailed against it.

καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Θεδμορ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυράς ἃς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν Ημαθ

And he built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the fortified cities that he built in Hamath.

καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Βαιθωρων τὴν ἄνω καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρων τὴν κάτω πόλεις ὀχυράς τείχη πύλαι καὶ μοχλοί

And he built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

καὶ τὴν Βααλαθ καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυράς αἳ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμων καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἱππέων καὶ ὅσα ἐπεθύμησεν Σαλωμων κατὰ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ

and Baalath and all the fortified cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the chariot cities and the cities of the horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion.

πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ καταλειφθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τοῦ Αμορραίου καὶ τοῦ Φερεζαίου καὶ τοῦ Ευαίου καὶ τοῦ Ιεβουσαίου οἳ οὔκ εἰσιν ἐκ τοῦ Ισραηλ

As for all the people who were left from the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not from Israel,

ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν τῶν καταλειφθέντων μετ' αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ οὓς οὐκ ἐξωλέθρευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς Σαλωμων εἰς φόρον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

from their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not destroyed, Solomon brought them up under tribute until this day.

καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ οὐκ ἔδωκεν Σαλωμων εἰς παῖδας τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἄνδρες πολεμισταὶ καὶ ἄρχοντες καὶ δυνατοὶ καὶ ἄρχοντες ἁρμάτων καὶ ἱππέων

But from the sons of Israel Solomon did not appoint slaves for his kingdom, because they were warriors and commanders and mighty men and commanders of chariots and horsemen.

καὶ οὗτοι ἄρχοντες τῶν προστατῶν βασιλέως Σαλωμων πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσιοι ἐργοδιωκτοῦντες ἐν τῷ λαῷ

And these were the chief overseers of King Solomon, two hundred and fifty, supervising the people.

καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραω Σαλωμων ἀνήγαγεν ἐκ πόλεως Δαυιδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτῇ ὅτι εἶπεν οὐ κατοικήσει ἡ γυνή μου ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ τοῦ βασιλέως Ισραηλ ὅτι ἅγιός ἐστιν οὗ εἰσῆλθεν ἐκεῖ κιβωτὸς κυρίου

And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the city of David into the house that he had built for her, because he said, 'My wife shall not dwell in the city of David king of Israel, because the places into which the ark of the Lord has entered are holy.'

τότε ἀνήνεγκεν Σαλωμων ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ὃ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἀπέναντι τοῦ ναοῦ

Then Solomon offered whole burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar that he had built opposite the sanctuary.

καὶ κατὰ τὸν λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ ἀναφέρειν κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς Μωυσῆ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς μησὶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς τρεῖς καιροὺς τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ τῶν ἀζύμων καὶ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ τῶν ἑβδομάδων καὶ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ τῶν σκηνῶν

And according to the matter of each day on its day, he offered according to the commandments of Moses on the Sabbaths and on the new moons and at the feasts, three times in the year: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Tabernacles.

καὶ ἔστησεν κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν Δαυιδ τὰς διαιρέσεις τῶν ἱερέων κατὰ τὰς λειτουργίας αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐπὶ τὰς φυλακὰς αὐτῶν τοῦ αἰνεῖν καὶ λειτουργεῖν κατέναντι τῶν ἱερέων κατὰ τὸν λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ καὶ οἱ πυλωροὶ κατὰ τὰς διαιρέσεις αὐτῶν εἰς πύλην καὶ πύλην ὅτι οὕτως ἐντολαὶ Δαυιδ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ

And he established, according to the judgment of David, the divisions of the priests for their services, and the Levites for their charges to praise and minister before the priests according to the matter of each day, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for so was the commandment of David the man of God.

οὐ παρῆλθον τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ βασιλέως περὶ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν εἰς πάντα λόγον καὶ εἰς τοὺς θησαυρούς

They did not deviate from the king's commandments concerning the priests and the Levites in any matter, and concerning the treasuries.

καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐργασία ἀφ' ἧς ἡμέρας ἐθεμελιώθη ἕως οὗ ἐτελείωσεν Σαλωμων τὸν οἶκον κυρίου

And all the work of Solomon was prepared from the day when the foundation was laid until Solomon finished the house of the Lord.

τότε ᾤχετο Σαλωμων εἰς Γασιωνγαβερ καὶ εἰς τὴν Αιλαθ τὴν παραθαλασσίαν ἐν γῇ Ιδουμαίᾳ

Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Elath by the sea, in the land of Idumea.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Χιραμ ἐν χειρὶ παίδων αὐτοῦ πλοῖα καὶ παῖδας εἰδότας θάλασσαν καὶ ᾤχοντο μετὰ τῶν παίδων Σαλωμων εἰς Σωφιρα καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν τετρακόσια καὶ πεντήκοντα τάλαντα χρυσίου καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμων

And Hiram sent him ships by the hand of his servants, and servants knowledgeable of the sea; and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir and took from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought them to King Solomon.
