اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 4

١ 1 وَكَانَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مَلِكًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

٢ 2 وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ: عَزَرْيَاهُو بْنُ صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ،

And these [were] the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,

٣ 3 وَأَلِيحُورَفُ وَأَخِيَّا ٱبْنَا شِيشَا كَاتِبَانِ. وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ ٱلْمُسَجِّلُ،

Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehosaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

٤ 4 وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ عَلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ، وَصَادُوقُ وَأَبِيَاثَارُ كَاهِنَانِ.

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the army: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:

٥ 5 وَعَزَرْيَاهُو بْنُ نَاثَانَ عَلَى ٱلْوُكَلَاءِ، وَزَابُودُ بْنُ نَاثَانَ كَاهِنٌ وَصَاحِبُ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

And Azariah the son of Nathan [was] over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan [was] principal officer, [and] the king's friend:

٦ 6 وَأَخِيشَارُ عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَأَدُونِيرَامُ بْنُ عَبْدَا عَلَى ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ.

And Ahishar [was] over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda [was] over the tribute.

٧ 7 وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ وَكِيلًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَمْتَارُونَ لِلْمَلِكِ وَبَيْتِهِ. كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْوَاحِدِ أَنْ يَمْتَارَ شَهْرًا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ.

And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.

٨ 8 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمُ: ٱبْنُ حُورَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.

And these [are] their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:

٩ 9 ٱبْنُ دَقَرَ فِي مَاقَصَ وَشَعَلُبِّيمَ وَبَيْتِ شَمْسٍ وَأَيْلُونِ بَيْتِ حَانَانَ.

The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan:

١٠ 10 ٱبْنُ حَسَدَ فِي أَرُبُوتَ. كَانَتْ لَهُ سُوكُوهُ وَكُلُّ أَرْضِ حَافَرَ.

The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him [pertained] Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:

١١ 11 ٱبْنُ أَبِينَادَابَ فِي كُلِّ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ دُورٍ. كَانَتْ طَافَةُ بِنْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً.

The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; who had Taphath the daughter of Solomon for a wife:

١٢ 12 بَعْنَا بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ فِي تَعْنَكَ وَمَجِدُّو وَكُلِّ بَيْتِ شَانٍ ٱلَّتِي بِجَانِبِ صُرْتَانَ تَحْتَ يَزْرَعِيلَ، مِنْ بَيْتِ شَانَ إِلَى آبَلَ مَحُولَةَ، إِلَى مَعْبَرِ يَقْمَعَامَ.

Baana the son of Ahilud; [to him pertained] Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, [even] to [the place that is] beyond Jokneam:

١٣ 13 ٱبْنُ جَابَرَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. لَهُ حَوُّوثُ يَائِيرَ ٱبْنِ مَنَسَّى ٱلَّتِي فِي جِلْعَادَ، وَلَهُ كُورَةُ أَرْجُوبَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَاشَانَ. سِتُّونَ مَدِينَةً عَظِيمَةً بِأَسْوَارٍ وَعَوَارِضَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

The son of Geber, in Ramoth-gilead; to him [pertained] the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which [are] in Gilead; to him [also pertained] the region of Argob, which [is] in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and brazen bars:

١٤ 14 أَخِينَادَابُ بْنُ عُدُّو فِي مَحَنَايِمَ.

Ahinadab the son of Iddo [had] Mahanaim:

١٥ 15 أَخِيمَعَصُ فِي نَفْتَالِي، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا أَخَذَ بَاسِمَةَ بِنْتَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱمْرَأَةً.

Ahimaaz [was] in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon for a wife:

١٦ 16 بَعْنَا بْنُ حُوشَايَ فِي أَشِيرَ وَبَعَلُوتَ.

Baanah the son of Hushai [was] in Asher and in Aloth:

١٧ 17 يَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ فَارُوحَ فِي يَسَّاكَرَ.

Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:

١٩ 19 جَابِرُ بْنُ أُورِي فِي أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ، أَرْضِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ. وَوَكِيلٌ وَاحِدٌ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Geber the son of Uri [was] in the country of Gilead, [in] the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and [he was] the only officer who [was] in the land.

٢٠ 20 وَكَانَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلُ كَثِيرِينَ كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ.

Judah and Israel [were] many, as the sand which [is] by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

٢١ 21 وَكَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَرْضِ فِلِسْطِينَ، وَإِلَى تُخُومِ مِصْرَ. كَانُوا يُقَدِّمُونَ ٱلْهَدَايَا وَيَخْدِمُونَ سُلَيْمَانَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

٢٢ 22 وَكَانَ طَعَامُ سُلَيْمَانَ لِلْيَوْمِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ: ثَلَاثِينَ كُرَّ سَمِيذٍ، وَسِتِّينَ كُرَّ دَقِيقٍ،

And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal.

٢٣ 23 وَعَشْرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ مُسَمَّنَةٍ، وَعِشْرِينَ ثَوْرًا مِنَ ٱلْمَرَاعِي، وَمِئَةَ خَرُوفٍ، مَا عَدَا ٱلْأَيَائِلَ وَٱلظِّبَاءَ وَٱلْيَحَامِيرَ وَٱلْإِوَزَّ ٱلْمُسَمَّنَ.

Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowls.

٢٤ 24 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ مَا عَبْرَ ٱلنَّهْرِ مِنْ تَفْسَحَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ، عَلَى كُلِّ مُلُوكِ عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَكَانَ لَهُ صُلْحٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ جَوَانِبِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side of the river: and he had peace on all sides around him.

٢٥ 25 وَسَكَنَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلُ آمِنِينَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمَتِهِ وَتَحْتَ تِينَتِهِ، مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، كُلَّ أَيَّامِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

٢٦ 26 وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ مِذْوَدٍ لِخَيْلِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ، وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ.

And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

٢٧ 27 وَهَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوُكَلَاءُ كَانُوا يَمْتَارُونَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَلِكُلِّ مَنْ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى مَائِدَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي شَهْرِهِ. لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ.

And those officers provided victuals for king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.

٢٨ 28 وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ بِشَعِيرٍ وَتِبْنٍ لِلْخَيْلِ وَٱلْجِيَادِ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ قَضَائِهِ.

Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries they brought to the place where [the officers] were, every man according to his charge.

٢٩ 29 وَأَعْطَى ٱللهُ سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةً وَفَهْمًا كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَرَحْبَةَ قَلْبٍ كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

And God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that [is] on the sea-shore.

٣٠ 30 وَفَاقَتْ حِكْمَةُ سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَكُلَّ حِكْمَةِ مِصْرَ.

And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

٣١ 31 وَكَانَ أَحْكَمَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ، مِنْ إِيثَانَ ٱلْأَزْرَاحِيِّ وَهَيْمَانَ وَكَلْكُولَ وَدَرْدَعَ بَنِي مَاحُولَ. وَكَانَ صِيتُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.

٣٢ 32 وَتَكَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ مَثَلٍ، وَكَانَتْ نَشَائِدُهُ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسًا.

And he spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.

٣٣ 33 وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْجَارِ، مِنَ ٱلْأَرْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ إِلَى ٱلزُّوفَا ٱلنَّابِتِ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ. وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَعَنِ ٱلطَّيْرِ وَعَنِ ٱلدَّبِيبِ وَعَنِ ٱلسَّمَكِ.

And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that [is] in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spoke also of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping animals, and of fishes.

٣٤ 34 وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ لِيَسْمَعُوا حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ، مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا بِحِكْمَتِهِ.

And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
