< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 9 >

وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَكْمَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِنَاءَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَكُلَّ مَرْغُوبِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِي سُرَّ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ، ١ 1
And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ تَرَاءَى لِسُلَيْمَانَ ثَانِيَةً كَمَا تَرَاءَى لَهُ فِي جِبْعُونَ. ٢ 2
That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلَاتَكَ وَتَضَرُّعَكَ ٱلَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتَ بِهِ أَمَامِي. قَدَّسْتُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتَهُ لِأَجْلِ وَضْعِ ٱسْمِي فِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَتَكُونُ عَيْنَايَ وَقَلْبِي هُنَاكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ٣ 3
And the LORD said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me: I have hallowed this house, which you have built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
وَأَنْتَ إِنْ سَلَكْتَ أَمَامِي كَمَا سَلَكَ دَاوُدُ أَبُوكَ بِسَلَامَةِ قَلْبٍ وَٱسْتِقَامَةٍ، وَعَمِلْتَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ وَحَفِظْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي، ٤ 4
And if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my judgments:
فَإِنِّي أُقِيمُ كُرْسِيَّ مُلْكِكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ كَمَا كَلَّمْتُ دَاوُدَ أَبَاكَ قَائِلًا: لَا يُعْدَمُ لَكَ رَجُلٌ عَنْ كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٥ 5
Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom on Israel for ever, as I promised to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.
إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَنْقَلِبُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِي، وَلَا تَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَايَ، فَرَائِضِيَ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا أَمَامَكُمْ، بَلْ تَذْهَبُونَ وَتَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَتَسْجُدُونَ لَهَا، ٦ 6
But if you shall at all turn from following me, you or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
فَإِنِّي أَقْطَعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي قَدَّسْتُهُ لِٱسْمِي أَنْفِيهِ مِنْ أَمَامِي، وَيَكُونُ إِسْرَائِيلُ مَثَلًا وَهُزْأَةً فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، ٧ 7
Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
وَهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ يَكُونُ عِبْرَةً. كُلُّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ يَتَعَجَّبُ وَيَصْفِرُ، وَيَقُولُونَ: لِمَاذَا عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَكَذَا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ؟ ٨ 8
And at this house, which is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why has the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house?
فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَ آبَاءَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا وَعَبَدُوهَا، لِذَلِكَ جَلَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ». ٩ 9
And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold on other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore has the LORD brought on them all this evil.
وَبَعْدَ نِهَايَةِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً بَعْدَمَا بَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ ٱلْبَيْتَيْنِ، بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٠ 10
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king’s house,
وَكَانَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ قَدْ سَاعَفَ سُلَيْمَانَ بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ وَخَشَبِ سَرْوٍ وَذَهَبٍ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَسَرَّتِهِ. أَعْطَى حِينَئِذٍ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ حِيرَامَ عِشْرِينَ مَدِينَةً فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ. ١١ 11
(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
فَخَرَجَ حِيرَامُ مِنْ صُورَ لِيَرَى ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا سُلَيْمَانُ، فَلَمْ تَحْسُنْ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. ١٢ 12
And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَنِي يَا أَخِي؟» وَدَعَاهَا «أَرْضَ كَابُولَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ١٣ 13
And he said, What cities are these which you have given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.
وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ لِلْمَلِكِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ. ١٤ 14
And Hiram sent to the king six score talents of gold.
وَهَذَا هُوَ سَبَبُ ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِهِ وَٱلْقَلْعَةِ وَسُورِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصُورَ وَمَجِدُّو وَجَازَرَ. ١٥ 15
And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
صَعِدَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ وَأَخَذَ جَازَرَ وَأَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ، وَقَتَلَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا مَهْرًا لِٱبْنَتِهِ ٱمْرَأَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ. ١٦ 16
For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelled in the city, and given it for a present to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
وَبَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ جَازَرَ وَبَيْتَ حُورُونَ ٱلسُّفْلَى ١٧ 17
And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
وَبَعْلَةَ وَتَدْمُرَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، ١٨ 18
And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
وَجَمِيعَ مُدُنِ ٱلْمَخَازِنِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ لِسُلَيْمَانَ، وَمُدُنَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَمُدُنَ ٱلْفُرْسَانِ، وَمَرْغُوبَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِي رَغِبَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَفِي لُبْنَانَ وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ سَلْطَنَتِهِ. ١٩ 19
And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٢٠ 20
And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
أَبْنَاؤُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا بَعْدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُحَرِّمُوهُمْ، جَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلَيْمَانُ تَسْخِيرَ عَبِيدٍ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٢١ 21
Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, on those did Solomon levy a tribute of slavery to this day.
وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْهُمْ عَبِيدًا لِأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ ٱلْقِتَالِ وَخُدَّامُهُ وَأُمَرَاؤُهُ وَثَوَالِثُهُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانُهُ. ٢٢ 22
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no slaves: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
هَؤُلَاءِ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ خَمْسُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسُونَ، ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ ٱلْعَمَلَ. ٢٣ 23
These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, which bore rule over the people that worked in the work.
وَلَكِنَّ بِنْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ صَعِدَتْ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ لَهَا، حِينَئِذٍ بَنَى ٱلْقَلْعَةَ. ٢٤ 24
But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
وَكَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ يُصْعِدُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ لِلرَّبِّ، وَكَانَ يُوقِدُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَأَكْمَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ. ٢٥ 25
And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to the LORD, and he burnt incense on the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ سُفُنًا فِي عِصْيُونَ جَابَرَ ٱلَّتِي بِجَانِبِ أَيْلَةَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ فِي أَرْضِ أَدُومَ. ٢٦ 26
And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
فَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلنَّوَاتِيَّ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ بِٱلْبَحْرِ مَعَ عَبِيدِ سُلَيْمَانَ، ٢٧ 27
And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
فَأَتَوْا إِلَى أُوفِيرَ، وَأَخَذُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ ذَهَبًا أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةً، وَأَتَوْا بِهَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. ٢٨ 28
And they came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
