حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ دَارِيُوسُ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَفَتَّشُوا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْأَسْفَارِ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ ٱلْخَزَائِنُ مَوْضُوعَةً فِي بَابِلَ، ١ 1
Then Darius the king made a decree, and caused a search to be made in the record-offices, where the treasure is stored in Babylon.
فَوُجِدَ فِي أَحْمَثَا، فِي ٱلْقَصْرِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بِلَادِ مَادِي، دَرْجٌ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ هَكَذَا: «تَذْكَارٌ. ٢ 2
And there was found in the city, in the palace, a volume, and this was the record written in it.
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 king Cyrus, Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the holy house of God that was in Jerusalem, [saying, ]Let the house be built, and the place where they sacrifice the sacrifices. (Also he appointed its elevation, in height sixty cubits; its breadth [was] of sixty cubits.)
بِثَلَاثَةِ صُفُوفٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَصَفٍّ مِنْ خَشَبٍ جَدِيدٍ. وَلْتُعْطَ ٱلنَّفَقَةُ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ٤ 4
And [let there be] three strong layers of stone, and one layer of timber; and the expense shall be paid out of the house of the king.
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 the silver and the gold vessels of the house of God, which Nabuchodonosor carried off from the house that was in Jerusalem, and carried to Babylon, let them even be given, and be carried to the temple that is in Jerusalem, and put in the place where they were set in the house of God.
«وَٱلْآنَ يَا تَتْنَايُ وَالِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَشَتَرْبُوزْنَايُ وَرُفَقَاءَكُمَا ٱلْأَفَرْسَكِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، ٱبْتَعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ. ٦ 6
Now, you rulers beyond the river, Satharbuzanai, and their fellow-servants the Apharsachaeans, who [are] on the other side of the river, give [these things], keeping far from that place.
ٱتْرُكُوا عَمَلَ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ هَذَا. أَمَّا وَالِي ٱلْيَهُودِ وَشُيُوخُ ٱلْيَهُودِ فَلْيَبْنُوا بَيْتَ ٱللهِ هَذَا فِي مَكَانِهِ. ٧ 7
Now let alone the work of the house of God: let the rulers of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build that house of God on 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
Also a decree has been made by me, if haply you may do somewhat in concert with the elders of the Jews for the building of that house of God: to wit, out of the king's property, [even] the tributes beyond the river, let there be money to defray the expenses carefully granted to those men, so that they be not 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 whatever need [there may be], you shall give both the young of bulls and rams, and lambs for whole burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, oil: —let it be given them according to the word of the priests that are in Jerusalem, day by day whatever they shall ask;
عَنْ تَقْرِيبِ رَوَائِحِ سُرُورٍ لِإِلَهِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَٱلصَّلَاةِ لِأَجْلِ حَيَاةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَبَنِيهِ. ١٠ 10
that they may offer sweet savours to the God of heaven, and that they may pray for the life of the king and 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
And a decree has been made by me, that every man who shall alter this word, timber shall be pulled down from his house, and let him be lifted up and slain upon it, and his house shall be confiscated.
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 may the God whose name dwells there, overthrow every king and people who shall stretch out his hand to alter or destroy the house of God which is in Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be diligently [attended to].
حِينَئِذٍ تَتْنَايُ وَالِي عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ وَشَتَرْبُوزْنَايُ وَرُفَقَاؤُهُمَا عَمِلُوا عَاجِلًا حَسْبَمَا أَرْسَلَ دَارِيُوسُ ٱلْمَلِكُ. ١٣ 13
Then Thanthanai the governor on this side beyond the river, Satharbuzanai, and his fellow-servants, according to that which king Darius sent, so they did diligently.
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 and the Levites built, at the prophecy of Aggaeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo: and they built up, and finished [it], by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Arthasastha, kings of the Persians.
وَكَمِلَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ مِنْ شَهْرِ أَذَارَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ دَارِيُوسَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٥ 15
And they finished this house by the third day of the month Adar, which is 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 children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of the house of God with gladness.
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 for the dedication of the house of God a hundred calves, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, twelve kids of the goats for a sin-offering for all Israel, 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 separate orders, for the services of God in Jerusalem, according to the writing of the book of Moses.
وَعَمِلَ بَنُو ٱلسَّبْيِ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ. ١٩ 19
And the children of the captivity kept the passover on 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 Levites were purified, all were clean to a man, and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren 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 children of Israel ate the passover, [even] they that were of the captivity, and every one who separated himself to them from the uncleanness of the nations of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel.
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 they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with gladness, because the Lord made them glad, and he turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the works of the house of the God of Israel.
