1Factum est autem cum perfecisset Salomon ædificium domus Domini,Now it happened that,et ædificium regis,when Solomon had perfected the building of the house of the Lord,et omne quod optaveratand the king’s house,et voluerat facere,and all that he had desired and had willed to do,

2apparuit ei Dominus secundo,the Lord appeared to him a second time,sicut apparuerat ei in Gabaon.just as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3Dixitque Dominus ad eum:And the Lord said to him:Exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam,“I have heard your prayer and your petition,quam deprecatus es coram me:which you prayed before me.sanctificavi domum hanc quam ædificasti,I have sanctified this house, which you have built,ut ponerem nomen meum ibi in sempiternum,so that I may place my name there forever,et erunt oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.and so that my eyes and my heart will be there for all days.

4Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me sicut ambulavit pater tuus,Also,in simplicitate cordisif you will walk before me,et in æquitate,just as your father walked,et feceris omnia quæ præcepi tibi,in simplicity of heart and in equity,et legitima meaand you do all that I have instructed to you,et judicia mea servaveris,and you keep my laws and my judgments,

5ponam thronum regni tui super Israël in sempiternum,then I will set the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever,sicut locutus sum David patri tuo,just as I promised your father David,dicens:saying:Non auferetur vir de genere tuo de solio Israël.‘A man from your stock shall not be taken away from the throne of Israel.’

6Si autem aversione aversi fueritis vosBut if you and your sons,et filii vestri,wandering,non sequentes me,will have turned away,nec custodientes mandata meanot following me,et cæremonias meas quas proposui vobis,and not keeping my commandments and my ceremonies,sed abieritiswhich I have proposed to you,et colueritis deos alienos,but instead you go away,et adoraveritis eos:and you serve strange gods and adore them,

7auferam Israël de superficie terræ quam dedi eis,then I will take away Israel from the face of the land,et templum quod sanctificavi nomini meo,which I have given to them. And the temple,projiciam a conspectu meo:which I have sanctified to my name,eritque Israël in proverbium, et in fabulam cunctis populis.I will cast out from my sight. And Israel will be a proverb and a parable among all the peoples.

8Et domus hæc erit in exemplum:And this house will become an example:omnis qui transierit per eam, stupebit,anyone who passes by it will be stupefied,et sibilabit, et dicet:and he will hiss and say,Quare fecit Dominus sic terræ huic, et domui huic?‘Why has the Lord acted in this way to this land and to this house?’

9Et respondebunt:And they will respond:Quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum suum,‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God,qui eduxit patres eorum de terra Ægypti,who led their fathers away from the land of Egypt,et secuti sunt deos alienos,and they followed strange gods,et adoraverunt eos,and they adored them and served them.et coluerunt eos:For this reason,idcirco induxit Dominus super eos omne malum hoc.the Lord led all this evil over them.’”
