حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ دَارِيُوسُ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَفَتَّشُوا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْأَسْفَارِ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ ٱلْخَزَائِنُ مَوْضُوعَةً فِي بَابِلَ، ١ 1
Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
فَوُجِدَ فِي أَحْمَثَا، فِي ٱلْقَصْرِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بِلَادِ مَادِي، دَرْجٌ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ هَكَذَا: «تَذْكَارٌ. ٢ 2
And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a roll, and in it was thus written for a record:
فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى لِكُورَشَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَمَرَ كُورَشُ ٱلْمَلِكُ مِنْ جِهَةِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: لِيُبْنَ ٱلْبَيْتُ، ٱلْمَكَانُ ٱلَّذِي يَذْبَحُونَ فِيهِ ذَبَائِحَ، وَلْتُوضَعْ أُسُسُهُ، ٱرْتِفَاعُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا وَعَرْضُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا. ٣ 3
In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be built-the place where they offer sacrifices-and let the foundations of it be strongly laid, the height of it sixty cubits, and the breadth of it sixty cubits,
بِثَلَاثَةِ صُفُوفٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَصَفٍّ مِنْ خَشَبٍ جَدِيدٍ. وَلْتُعْطَ ٱلنَّفَقَةُ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ٤ 4
with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber. And let the expenses be given out of the king's house.
وَأَيْضًا آنِيَةُ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّتِي مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ، ٱلَّتِي أَخْرَجَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مِنَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَتَى بِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ، فَلْتُرَدَّ وَتُرْجَعْ إِلَى ٱلْهَيْكَلِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا، وَتُوضَعْ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ». ٥ 5
And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place. And thou shall put them in the house of God.
«وَٱلْآنَ يَا تَتْنَايُ وَالِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَشَتَرْبُوزْنَايُ وَرُفَقَاءَكُمَا ٱلْأَفَرْسَكِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، ٱبْتَعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ. ٦ 6
Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, be ye far from there:
ٱتْرُكُوا عَمَلَ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ هَذَا. أَمَّا وَالِي ٱلْيَهُودِ وَشُيُوخُ ٱلْيَهُودِ فَلْيَبْنُوا بَيْتَ ٱللهِ هَذَا فِي مَكَانِهِ. ٧ 7
Let the work of this house of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
وَقَدْ صَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مَعَ شُيُوخِ ٱلْيَهُودِ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ هَذَا. فَمِنْ مَالِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، مِنْ جِزْيَةِ عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، تُعْطَ ٱلنَّفَقَةُ عَاجِلًا لِهَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْطُلُوا. ٨ 8
Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: That of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
وَمَا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلثِّيرَانِ وَٱلْكِبَاشِ وَٱلْخِرَافِ مُحْرَقَةً لِإِلَهِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَحِنْطَةٍ وَمِلْحٍ وَخَمْرٍ وَزَيْتٍ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِتُعْطَ لَهُمْ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا حَتَّى لَا يَهْدَأُوا ٩ 9
And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail
عَنْ تَقْرِيبِ رَوَائِحِ سُرُورٍ لِإِلَهِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَٱلصَّلَاةِ لِأَجْلِ حَيَاةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَبَنِيهِ. ١٠ 10
that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savor to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
وَقَدْ صَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ أَنَّ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ يُغَيِّرُ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ تُسْحَبُ خَشَبَةٌ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ وَيُعَلَّقُ مَصْلُوبًا عَلَيْهَا، وَيُجْعَلُ بَيْتُهُ مَزْبَلَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا. ١١ 11
Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
وَٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي أَسْكَنَ ٱسْمَهُ هُنَاكَ يُهْلِكُ كُلَّ مَلِكٍ وَشَعْبٍ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ لِتَغْيِيرِ أَوْ لِهَدْمِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. أَنَا دَارِيُوسُ قَدْ أَمَرْتُ فَلْيُفْعَلْ عَاجِلًا». ١٢ 12
And the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to alter the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree, let it be done with all diligence.
حِينَئِذٍ تَتْنَايُ وَالِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَشَتَرْبُوزْنَايُ وَرُفَقَاؤُهُمَا عَمِلُوا عَاجِلًا حَسْبَمَا أَرْسَلَ دَارِيُوسُ ٱلْمَلِكُ. ١٣ 13
Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because of what Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence.
وَكَانَ شُيُوخُ ٱلْيَهُودِ يَبْنُونَ وَيَنْجَحُونَ حَسَبَ نُبُوَّةِ حَجَّيِ ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَزَكَرِيَّا بْنِ عِدُّو. فَبَنَوْا وَأَكْمَلُوا حَسَبَ أَمْرِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَمْرِ كُورَشَ وَدَارِيُوسَ وَأَرْتَحْشَشْتَا مَلِكِ فَارِسَ. ١٤ 14
And the elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
وَكَمِلَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ مِنْ شَهْرِ أَذَارَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ دَارِيُوسَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٥ 15
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَبَاقِي بَنِي ٱلسَّبْيِ دَشَّنُوا بَيْتَ ٱللهِ هَذَا بِفَرَحٍ. ١٦ 16
And the sons of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
وَقَرَّبُوا تَدْشِينًا لِبَيْتِ ٱللهِ هَذَا: مِئَةَ ثَوْرٍ وَمِئَتَيْ كَبْشٍ وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ خَرُوفٍ وَٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تَيْسَ مِعْزًى، ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ عَنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، حَسَبَ عَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٧ 17
And they offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs. And for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
وَأَقَامُوا ٱلْكَهَنَةَ فِي فِرَقِهِمْ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ فِي أَقْسَامِهِمْ عَلَى خِدْمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُوسَى. ١٨ 18
And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
وَعَمِلَ بَنُو ٱلسَّبْيِ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ. ١٩ 19
And the sons of the captivity kept the Passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَطَهَّرُوا جَمِيعًا. كَانُوا كُلُّهُمْ طَاهِرِينَ، وَذَبَحُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ لِجَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلسَّبْيِ وَلِإِخْوَتِهِمِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَلِأَنْفُسِهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. And they killed the Passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
وَأَكَلَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلرَّاجِعُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْيِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱنْفَصَلُوا إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ رَجَاسَةِ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِيَطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢١ 21
And the sons of Israel who came again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, ate,
وَعَمِلُوا عِيدَ ٱلْفَطِيرِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ بِفَرَحٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ فَرَّحَهُمْ وَحَوَّلَ قَلْبَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ نَحْوَهُمْ لِتَقْوِيَةِ أَيْدِيهِمْ فِي عَمَلِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٢ 22
and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy. For Jehovah had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
