< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 8 >

حِينَئِذٍ جَمَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكُلَّ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ، رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْآبَاءِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِإِصْعَادِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، هِيَ صِهْيَوْنُ. ١ 1
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ فِي شَهْرِ أَيْثَانِيمَ، هُوَ ٱلشَّهْرُ ٱلسَّابِعُ. ٢ 2
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَمَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱلتَّابُوتَ. ٣ 3
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
وَأَصْعَدُوا تَابُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَخَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ آنِيَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، فَأَصْعَدَهَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ. ٤ 4
And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.
وَٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمُجْتَمِعِينَ إِلَيْهِ مَعَهُ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ، كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ مَا لَا يُحْصَى وَلَا يُعَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. ٥ 5
And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فِي مِحْرَابِ ٱلْبَيْتِ فِي قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ، إِلَى تَحْتِ جَنَاحَيِ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ، ٦ 6
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ بَسَطَا أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا عَلَى مَوْضِعِ ٱلتَّابُوتِ، وَظَلَّلَ ٱلْكَرُوبَانِ ٱلتَّابُوتَ وَعِصِيَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ. ٧ 7
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves of it above.
وَجَذَبُوا ٱلْعِصِيَّ فَتَرَاءَتْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْعِصِيِّ مِنَ ٱلْقُدْسِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمِحْرَابِ وَلَمْ تُرَ خَارِجًا، وَهِيَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٨ 8
And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle. But they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.
لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ إِلَّا لَوْحَا ٱلْحَجَرِ ٱللَّذَانِ وَضَعَهُمَا مُوسَى هُنَاكَ فِي حُورِيبَ حِينَ عَاهَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. ٩ 9
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb when Jehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ مِنَ ٱلْقُدْسِ أَنَّ ٱلسَّحَابَ مَلَأَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، ١٠ 10
And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ أَنْ يَقِفُوا لِلْخِدْمَةِ بِسَبَبِ ٱلسَّحَابِ، لِأَنَّ مَجْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلَأَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١١ 11
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
حِينَئِذٍ تَكَلَّمَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي ٱلضَّبَابِ. ١٢ 12
Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
إِنِّي قَدْ بَنَيْتُ لَكَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَى، مَكَانًا لِسُكْنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». ١٣ 13
I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in forever.
وَحَوَّلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجْهَهُ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكُلُّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاقِفٌ. ١٤ 14
And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِفَمِهِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَأَكْمَلَ بِيَدِهِ قَائِلًا: ١٥ 15
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
مُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَمْ أَخْتَرْ مَدِينَةً مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتٍ لِيَكُونَ ٱسْمِي هُنَاكَ، بَلِ إِنَّمَا ٱخْتَرْتُ دَاوُدَ لِيَكُونَ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٦ 16
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there, but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٧ 17
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ بِكَوْنِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ. ١٨ 18
But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.
إِلَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ لَا تَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ، بَلِ ٱبْنُكَ ٱلْخَارِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ لِٱسْمِي. ١٩ 19
Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
وَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَهُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَقَدْ قُمْتُ أَنَا مَكَانَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَبَنَيْتُ ٱلْبَيْتَ لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٢٠ 20
And Jehovah has established his word that he spoke, for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
وَجَعَلْتُ هُنَاكَ مَكَانًا لِلتَّابُوتِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ عَهْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ آبَائِنَا عِنْدَ إِخْرَاجِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». ٢١ 21
And there I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
وَوَقَفَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ تُجَاهَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ ٢٢ 22
And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ مِثْلَكَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَلَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، حَافِظُ ٱلْعَهْدِ وَٱلرَّحْمَةِ لِعَبِيدِكَ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ أَمَامَكَ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ. ٢٣ 23
And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,
ٱلَّذِي قَدْ حَفِظْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ بِفَمِكَ وَأَكْمَلْتَ بِيَدِكَ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٢٤ 24
who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou did promise him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱحْفَظْ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ قَائِلًا: لَا يُعْدَمُ لَكَ أَمَامِي رَجُلٌ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِنْ كَانَ بَنُوكَ إِنَّماَ يَحْفَظُونَ طُرُقَهُمْ حَتَّى يَسِيرُوا أَمَامِي كَمَا سِرْتَ أَنْتَ أَمَامِي. ٢٥ 25
Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou have walked before me.
وَٱلْآنَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلْيَتَحَقَّقْ كَلَامُكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي. ٢٦ 26
Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David my father.
لِأَنَّهُ هَلْ يَسْكُنُ ٱللهُ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَسَمَاءُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تَسَعُكَ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْأَقَلِّ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ؟ ٢٧ 27
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house that I have built!
فَٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَى صَلَاةِ عَبْدِكَ وَإِلَى تَضَرُّعِهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، وَٱسْمَعِ ٱلصُّرَاخَ وَٱلصَّلَاةَ ٱلَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ أَمَامَكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ. ٢٨ 28
Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee this day,
لِتَكُونَ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا، عَلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتَ: إِنَّ ٱسْمِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ، لِتَسْمَعَ ٱلصَّلَاةَ ٱلَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. ٢٩ 29
that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou have said, My name shall be there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
وَٱسْمَعْ تَضَرُّعَ عَبْدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ فِي مَوْضِعِ سُكْنَاكَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ فَٱغْفِرْ. ٣٠ 30
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and when thou hear, forgive.
إِذَا أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ حَلْفًا لِيُحَلِّفَهُ، وَجَاءَ ٱلْحَلْفُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، ٣١ 31
If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱعْمَلْ وَٱقْضِ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ، إِذْ تَحْكُمُ عَلَى ٱلْمُذْنِبِ فَتَجْعَلُ طَرِيقَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَتُبَرِّرُ ٱلْبَارَّ إِذْ تُعْطِيهِ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ. ٣٢ 32
then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
إِذَا ٱنْكَسَرَ شَعْبُكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ وَٱعْتَرَفُوا بِٱسْمِكَ وَصَلَّوْا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، ٣٣ 33
When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication to thee in this house,
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْجِعْهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ. ٣٤ 34
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to their fathers.
«إِذَا أُغْلِقَتِ ٱلسَّمَاءُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَطَرٌ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّوْا فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ وَٱعْتَرَفُوا بِٱسْمِكَ، وَرَجَعُوا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِمْ لِأَنَّكَ ضَايَقْتَهُمْ، ٣٥ 35
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou afflict them,
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَلِّمَهُمُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلصَّالِحَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْلُكُونَ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطِ مَطَرًا عَلَى أَرْضِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِشَعْبِكَ مِيرَاثًا. ٣٦ 36
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.
إِذَا صَارَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ جُوعٌ، إِذَا صَارَ وَبَأٌ، إِذَا صَارَ لَفْحٌ أَوْ يَرَقَانٌ أَوْ جَرَادٌ جَرْدَمٌ، أَوْ إِذَا حَاصَرَهُ عَدُوُّهُ فِي أَرْضِ مُدُنِهِ، فِي كُلِّ ضَرْبَةٍ وَكُلِّ مَرَضٍ، ٣٧ 37
If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there be,
فَكُلُّ صَلَاةٍ وَكُلُّ تَضَرُّعٍ تَكُونُ مِنْ أَيِّ إِنْسَانٍ كَانَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ضَرْبَةَ قَلْبِهِ، فَيَبْسُطُ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، ٣٨ 38
whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house,
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ وَٱغْفِرْ، وَٱعْمَلْ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ حَسَبَ كُلِّ طُرُقِهِ كَمَا تَعْرِفُ قَلْبَهُ. لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ قُلُوبَ كُلِّ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ، ٣٩ 39
then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of all the sons of men),
لِكَيْ يَخَافُوكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي يَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لِآبَائِنَا. ٤٠ 40
that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.
وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ، وَجَاءَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ، ٤١ 41
Moreover concerning the foreigner who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake
لِأَنَّهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ بِٱسْمِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَبِيَدِكَ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ وَذِرَاعِكَ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةِ، فَمَتَى جَاءَ وَصَلَّى فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، ٤٢ 42
(for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house,
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ، وَٱفْعَلْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ، لِكَيْ يَعْلَمَ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱسْمَكَ، فَيَخَافُوكَ كَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِكَيْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُكَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ. ٤٣ 43
hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as does thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
«إِذَا خَرَجَ شَعْبُكَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَدُوِّهِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي تُرْسِلُهُمْ فِيهِ، وَصَلَّوْا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتَهَا وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ لِٱسْمِكَ، ٤٤ 44
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,
فَٱسْمَعْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَٱقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ. ٤٥ 45
then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
إِذَا أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا يُخْطِئُ، وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَدَفَعْتَهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ وَسَبَاهُمْ، سَابُوهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، بَعِيدَةً أَوْ قَرِيبَةً، ٤٦ 46
If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, afar off or near,
فَإِذَا رَدُّوا إِلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُسْبَوْنَ إِلَيْهَا وَرَجَعُوا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا وَعَوَّجْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا. ٤٧ 47
yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly,
وَرَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فِي أَرْضِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ، وَصَلَّوْا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ أَرْضِهِمْ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لِآبَائِهِمْ، نَحْوَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتَ وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ لِٱسْمِكَ، ٤٨ 48
if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, the city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,
فَٱسْمَعْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَٱقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ، ٤٩ 49
then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their case,
وَٱغْفِرْ لِشَعْبِكَ مَا أَخْطَأُوا بِهِ إِلَيْكَ، وَجَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَذْنَبُوا بِهَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَعْطِهِمْ رَحْمَةً أَمَامَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ فَيَرْحَمُوهُمْ، ٥٠ 50
and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions by which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
لِأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبُكَ وَمِيرَاثُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنْ وَسَطِ كُورِ ٱلْحَدِيدِ. ٥١ 51
(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);
لِتَكُونَ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ نَحْوَ تَضَرُّعِ عَبْدِكَ وَتَضَرُّعِ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُصْغِيَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا يَدْعُونَكَ، ٥٢ 52
that thine eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them whenever they cry to thee.
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَفْرَزْتَهُمْ لَكَ مِيرَاثًا مِنْ جَمِيعِ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عَبْدِكَ عِنْدَ إِخْرَاجِكَ آبَاءَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ يَاسَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ». ٥٣ 53
For thou separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spoke by Moses thy servant when thou brought our fathers out of Egypt, O lord Jehovah.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى سُلَيْمَانُ مِنَ ٱلصَّلَاةِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلصَّلَاةِ وَٱلتَّضَرُّعِ، أَنَّهُ نَهَضَ مِنْ أَمَامِ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنَ ٱلْجُثُوِّ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَيَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، ٥٤ 54
And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
وَوَقَفَ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ قَائِلًا: ٥٥ 55
And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
«مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَى رَاحَةً لِشَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَلَمْ تَسْقُطْ كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ كُلِّ كَلَامِهِ ٱلصَّالِحِ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عَبْدِهِ. ٥٦ 56
Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
لِيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا مَعَنَا كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ آبَائِنَا فَلَا يَتْرُكَنَا وَلَا يَرْفُضَنَا. ٥٧ 57
Jehovah our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us,
لِيَمِيلَ بِقُلُوبِنَا إِلَيْهِ لِكَيْ نَسِيرَ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ وَنَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا آبَاءَنَا. ٥٨ 58
that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
وَلِيَكُنْ كَلَامِي هَذَا ٱلَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتُ بِهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبًا مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا، لِيَقْضِيَ قَضَاءَ عَبْدِهِ وَقَضَاءَ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِهِ. ٥٩ 59
And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require,
لِيَعْلَمَ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُوَ ٱللهُ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ. ٦٠ 60
that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.
فَلْيَكُنْ قَلْبُكُمْ كَامِلًا لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِذْ تَسِيرُونَ فِي فَرَائِضِهِ وَتَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَاهُ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ». ٦١ 61
Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَجَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ ذَبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٦٢ 62
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.
وَذَبَحَ سُلَيْمَانُ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ ٱلَّتِي ذَبَحَهَا لِلرَّبِّ: مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا، وَمِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا، فَدَشَّنَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٦٣ 63
And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَدَّسَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَسَطَ ٱلدَّارِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَٱلتَّقْدِمَاتِ وَشَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ، لِأَنَّ مَذْبَحَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ صَغِيرًا عَنْ أَنْ يَسَعَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَٱلتَّقْدِمَاتِ وَشَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ. ٦٤ 64
The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
وَعَيَّدَ سُلَيْمَانُ ٱلْعِيدَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ، جُمْهُورٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي مِصْرَ، أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَسَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا. ٦٥ 65
So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ صَرَفَ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَبَارَكُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ وَذَهَبُوا إِلَى خِيَمِهِمْ فَرِحِينَ وَطَيِّبِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ، لِأَجْلِ كُلِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِهِ وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِهِ. ٦٦ 66
On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
