< ١ أخبار 29 >

وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِكُلِّ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ: «إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي ٱلَّذِي وَحْدَهُ ٱخْتَارَهُ ٱللهُ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ صَغِيرٌ وَغَضٌّ، وَٱلْعَمَلُ عَظِيمٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ لَيْسَ لِإِنْسَانٍ بَلْ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ. ١ 1
Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
وَأَنَا بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِي هَيَّأْتُ لِبَيْتِ إِلَهِيَ: ٱلذَّهَبَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَٱلْفِضَّةَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَٱلنُّحَاسَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَٱلْحَدِيدَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَٱلْخَشَبَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ خَشَبٍ، وَحِجَارَةَ ٱلْجَزَعِ، وَحِجَارَةً لِلتَّرْصِيعِ، وَحِجَارَةً كَحْلَاءَ وَرَقْمَاءَ، وَكُلَّ حِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ، وَحِجَارَةَ ٱلرُّخَامِ بِكَثْرَةٍ. ٢ 2
From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
وَأَيْضًا لِأَنِّي قَدْ سُرِرْتُ بِبَيْتِ إِلَهِي، لِي خَاصَّةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ قَدْ دَفَعْتُهَا لِبَيْتِ إِلَهِي فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ مَا هَيَّأْتُهُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلْقُدْسِ: ٣ 3
In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةِ ذَهَبٍ مِنْ ذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةِ فِضَّةٍ مُصَفَّاةٍ، لِأَجْلِ تَغْشِيَةِ حِيطَانِ ٱلْبُيُوتِ. ٤ 4
I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
ٱلذَّهَبُ لِلذَّهَبِ، وَٱلْفِضَّةُ لِلْفِضَّةِ وَلِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ بِيَدِ أَرْبَابِ ٱلصَّنَائِعِ. فَمَنْ يَنْتَدِبُ ٱلْيَوْمَ لِمِلْءِ يَدِهِ لِلرَّبِّ؟» ٥ 5
for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
فَٱنْتَدَبَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْآبَاءِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ أَشْغَالِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، ٦ 6
Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
وَأَعْطَوْا لِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ خَمْسَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةٍ وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ، وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ، وَمِئَةَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْحَدِيدِ. ٧ 7
For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
وَمَنْ وُجِدَ عِنْدَهُ حِجَارَةٌ أَعْطَاهَا لِخَزِينَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ يَحِيئِيلَ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّ. ٨ 8
And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
وَفَرِحَ ٱلشَّعْبُ بِٱنْتِدَابِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بِقَلْبٍ كَامِلٍ ٱنْتَدَبُوا لِلرَّبِّ. وَدَاوُدُ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَيْضًا فَرِحَ فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا. ٩ 9
The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
وَبَارَكَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَبِينَا مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ١٠ 10
Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
لَكَ يَارَبُّ ٱلْعَظَمَةُ وَٱلْجَبَرُوتُ وَٱلْجَلَالُ وَٱلْبَهَاءُ وَٱلْمَجْدُ، لِأَنَّ لَكَ كُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ. لَكَ يَارَبُّ ٱلْمُلْكُ، وَقَدِ ٱرْتَفَعْتَ رَأْسًا عَلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ. ١١ 11
You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
وَٱلْغِنَى وَٱلْكَرَامَةُ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَبِيَدِكَ ٱلْقُوَّةُ وَٱلْجَبَرُوتُ، وَبِيَدِكَ تَعْظِيمُ وَتَشْدِيدُ ٱلْجَمِيعِ. ١٢ 12
Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
وَٱلْآنَ، يَا إِلَهَنَا نَحْمَدُكَ وَنُسَبِّحُ ٱسْمَكَ ٱلْجَلِيلَ. ١٣ 13
So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
وَلَكِنْ مَنْ أَنَا، وَمَنْ هُوَ شَعْبِي حَتَّى نَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ نَنْتَدِبَ هَكَذَا؟ لِأَنَّ مِنْكَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ وَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَعْطَيْنَاكَ. ١٤ 14
But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ غُرَبَاءُ أَمَامَكَ، وَنُزَلَاءُ مِثْلُ كُلِّ آبَائِنَا. أَيَّامُنَا كَٱلظِّلِّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ رَجَاءٌ. ١٥ 15
[In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، كُلُّ هَذِهِ ٱلثَّرْوَةِ ٱلَّتِي هَيَّأْنَاهَا لِنَبْنِيَ لَكَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ قُدْسِكَ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ يَدِكَ، وَلَكَ ٱلْكُلُّ. ١٦ 16
Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا إِلَهِي أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَحِنُ ٱلْقُلُوبَ وَتُسَرُّ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ. أَنَا بِٱسْتِقَامَةِ قَلْبِي ٱنْتَدَبْتُ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ، وَٱلْآنَ شَعْبُكَ ٱلْمَوْجُودُ هُنَا رَأَيْتُهُ بِفَرَحٍ يَنْتَدِبُ لَكَ. ١٧ 17
My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ آبَائِنَا، ٱحْفَظْ هَذِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فِي تَصَوُّرِ أَفْكَارِ قُلُوبِ شَعْبِكَ، وَأَعِدَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ نَحْوَكَ. ١٨ 18
Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
وَأَمَّا سُلَيْمَانُ ٱبْنِي فَأَعْطِهِ قَلْبًا كَامِلًا لِيَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاكَ، شَهَادَاتِكَ وَفَرَائِضَكَ، وَلِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ، وَلِيَبْنِيَ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ ٱلَّذِي هَيَّأْتُ لَهُ». ١٩ 19
And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِكُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ: «بَارِكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ». فَبَارَكَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ، وَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لِلرَّبِّ وَلِلْمَلِكِ. ٢٠ 20
Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
وَذَبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ ذَبَائِحَ وَأَصْعَدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي غَدِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: أَلْفَ ثَوْرٍ وَأَلْفَ كَبْشٍ وَأَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ مَعَ سَكَائِبِهَا، وَذَبَائِحَ كَثِيرَةً لِكُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢١ 21
The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
وَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ. وَمَلَّكُوا ثَانِيَةً سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ، وَمَسَحُوهُ لِلرَّبِّ رَئِيسًا، وَصَادُوقَ كَاهِنًا. ٢٢ 22
On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
وَجَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلِكًا مَكَانَ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَنَجَحَ وَأَطَاعَهُ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٣ 23
So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
وَجَمِيعُ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَٱلْأَبْطَالِ وَجَمِيعُ أَوْلَادِ ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ أَيْضًا خَضَعُوا لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ٢٤ 24
King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
وَعَظَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ سُلَيْمَانَ جِدًّا فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَلَالًا مَلِكِيًّا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى مَلِكٍ قَبْلَهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٥ 25
Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ يَسَّى مَلَكَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٦ 26
Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
وَٱلزَّمَانُ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِيهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً. مَلَكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فِي حَبْرُونَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٢٧ 27
He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
وَمَاتَ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ وَقَدْ شَبِعَ أَيَّامًا وَغِنىً وَكَرَامَةً. وَمَلَكَ سُلَيْمَانُ ٱبْنُهُ مَكَانَهُ. ٢٨ 28
He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
وَأُمُورُ دَاوُدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةُ هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلرَّائِي، وَأَخْبَارِ نَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ، وَأَخْبَارِ جَادَ ٱلرَّائِي، ٢٩ 29
A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
مَعَ كُلِّ مُلْكِهِ وَجَبَرُوتِهِ وَٱلْأَوْقَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَبَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأُرُوضِ. ٣٠ 30
They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
