وَتَشَدَّدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُ مَعَهُ وَعَظَّمَهُ جِدًّا. ١ 1
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
وَكَلَّمَ سُلَيْمَانُ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَٱلْقُضَاةَ وَكُلَّ رَئِيسٍ فِي كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ رُؤُوسَ ٱلْآبَاءِ، ٢ 2
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the heads of the father’s houses.
فَذَهَبَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَكُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي جِبْعُونَ، لِأَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ كَانَتْ خَيْمَةُ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، خَيْمَةُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٣ 3
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
وَأَمَّا تَابُوتُ ٱللهِ فَأَصْعَدَهُ دَاوُدُ مِنْ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ عِنْدَمَا هَيَّأَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ، لِأَنَّهُ نَصَبَ لَهُ خَيْمَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٤ 4
But the ark of God David had brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
وَمَذْبَحُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ بَصَلْئِيلُ بْنُ أُورِي بْنِ حُورَ، وَضَعَهُ أَمَامَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ سُلَيْمَانُ وَٱلْجَمَاعَةُ. ٥ 5
Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought for it.
وَأَصْعَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ هُنَاكَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، أَصْعَدَ عَلَيْهِ أَلْفَ مُحْرَقَةٍ. ٦ 6
And Solomon went up there to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ تَرَاءَى ٱللهُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱسْأَلْ مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ». ٧ 7
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ لِلهِ: «إِنَّكَ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ مَعَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي رَحْمَةً عَظِيمَةً وَمَلَّكْتَنِي مَكَانَهُ. ٨ 8
And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shown great mercy to David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
فَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ لِيَثْبُتْ كَلَامُكَ مَعَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي، لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ مَلَّكْتَنِي عَلَى شَعْبٍ كَثِيرٍ كَتُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٩ 9
Now, O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
فَأَعْطِنِي ٱلْآنَ حِكْمَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً لِأَخْرُجَ أَمَامَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَأَدْخُلَ، لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَحْكُمَ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ هَذَا ٱلْعَظِيمِ» ١٠ 10
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy great people?
فَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ هَذَا كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ، وَلَمْ تَسْأَلْ غِنًى وَلَا أَمْوَالًا وَلَا كَرَامَةً وَلَا أَنْفُسَ مُبْغِضِيكَ، وَلَا سَأَلْتَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، بَلْ إِنَّمَا سَأَلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ حِكْمَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً تَحْكُمُ بِهِمَا عَلَى شَعْبِي ٱلَّذِي مَلَّكْتُكَ عَلَيْهِ، ١١ 11
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thy enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ حِكْمَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً، وَأُعْطِيكَ غِنًى وَأَمْوَالًا وَكَرَامَةً لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُهَا لِلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَكَ، وَلَا يَكُونُ مِثْلُهَا لِمَنْ بَعْدَكَ». ١٢ 12
Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
فَجَاءَ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي جِبْعُونَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ أَمَامِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ وَمَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٣ 13
Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
وَجَمَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَفُرْسَانًا، فَكَانَ لَهُ أَلْفٌ وَأَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ، فَجَعَلَهَا فِي مُدُنِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَمَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١٤ 14
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
وَجَعَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلذَّهَبَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مِثْلَ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْزَ كَٱلْجُمَّيْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّهْلِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. ١٥ 15
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
وَكَانَ مُخْرَجُ ٱلْخَيْلِ ٱلَّتِي لِسُلَيْمَانَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. وَجَمَاعَةُ تُجَّارِ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَخَذُوا جَلِيبَةً بِثَمَنٍ، ١٦ 16
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
فَأَصْعَدُوا وَأَخْرَجُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةَ بِسِتِّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَٱلْفَرَسَ بِمِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ، وَهَكَذَا لِجَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَمُلُوكِ أَرَامَ كَانُوا يُخْرِجُونَ عَنْ يَدِهِمْ. ١٧ 17
And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so they brought out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
