Ezra 7
1 And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes, king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkijah,
| وَبَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، رَجَعَ مِنْ بَابِلَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ عِزْرَا بْنُ سَرَايَا بْنِ عَزَرْيَا بْنِ حِلْقِيَّا | ١ |
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
| بْنِ شَلُّومَ بْنِ صَادُوقَ بْنِ أَخِيطُوبَ، | ٢ |
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
| بْنِ أَمَرْيَا بْنِ عَزَرْيَا بْنِ مَرَايُوثَ، | ٣ |
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
| بْنِ زَرَحْيَا بْنِ عُزِّي بْنِ بُقِّي، | ٤ |
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest,
| بْنِ أَبِيشُوعَ بْنِ فِينْحَاسَ بْنِ أَلْعَازَارَ بْنِ هرُونَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، | ٥ |
6 — this Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Jehovah the God of Israel had given. And the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him.
| وَكَانَ عِزْرَا كَاتِباً مَاهِراً فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى الَّتِي أَعْلَنَهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ؛ وَقَدْ مَنَحَهُ الْمَلِكُ كُلَّ سُؤْلِهِ بِفَضْلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ. | ٦ |
7 (And there went up [some] of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the doorkeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.)
| وَرَجَعَ مَعَهُ بَعْضُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَعْضُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَالْمُغَنِّينَ وَحُرَّاسِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخُدَّامِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ مِنْ وِلايَةِ الْمَلِكِ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا، | ٧ |
8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
| فَوَصَلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ (آب – أُغُسْطُسَ) مِنَ السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ. | ٨ |
9 For upon the first of the first month the project of going up from Babylon was determined on, and on the first of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
| إِذْ بَدَأَ رِحْلَتَهُ مِنْ بَابِلَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (آذَارَ – مَارِسَ)، وَوَصَلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ، بِفَضْلِ يَدِ اللهِ الصَّالِحَةِ الَّتِي رَعَتْهُ، | ٩ |
10 For Ezra had directed his heart to seek the law of Jehovah and to do it, and to teach in Israel the statutes and the ordinances.
| لأَنَّ عِزْرَا أَخْلَصَ نِيَّتَهُ لِطَلَبِ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمُمَارَسَتِهَا، وَتَعْلِيمِ الشَّعْبِ فَرَائِضَهَا وَأَحْكَامَهَا. | ١٠ |
11 And this is the copy of the letter that king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of the commandments of Jehovah, and of his statutes to Israel:
| وَهَذَا نَصُّ الرِّسَالَةِ الَّتِي سَلَّمَهَا الْمَلِكُ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا لِعِزْرَا الْكَاهِنِ الْكَاتِبِ، الْعَالِمِ بِكَلامِ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ وَفَرَائِضِهِ الَّتِي أَبْلَغَهَا لإِسْرَائِيلَ: | ١١ |
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, an accomplished scribe of the law of the God of the heavens, and so forth.
| «مِنْ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا مَلِكِ الْمُلُوكِ إِلَى عِزْرَا الْكَاهِنِ كَاتِبِ شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِ السَّمَاءِ، سَلامٌ، وَبَعْدُ. | ١٢ |
13 I have given orders that all they of the people of Israel, and of their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are disposed to go to Jerusalem, go with thee.
| لَقَدْ صَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ بِالسَّمَاحِ لِكُلِّ مَنْ أَرَادَ فِي مَمْلَكَتِي مِنْ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَهَنَتِهِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ مَعَكَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٣ |
14 Because thou art sent by the king, and by his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand;
| فَأَنْتَ مُرْسَلٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَلِكِ وَمُسْتَشَارِيهِ السَّبْعَةِ لِلاطِّلاعِ عَلَى مَدَى تَطْبِيقِ أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ لِشَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِكَ الَّتِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ، | ١٤ |
15 and to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is at Jerusalem,
| وَلِحَمْلِ مَا يَتَبَرَّعُ بِهِ الْمَلِكُ وَمُسْتَشَارُوهُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ لإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي مَسْكَنُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٥ |
16 and all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, besides the voluntary offering of the people, and of the priests, who offer willingly for the house of their God which is at Jerusalem.
| فَضْلاً عَمَّا تَحْصُلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ مِنْ إِقْلِيمِ بَابِلَ، وَمَا تَجْمَعُهُ مِنْ تَبَرُّعَاتِ الشَّعْبِ وَالْكَهَنَةِ لِهَيْكَلِ إِلَهِهِمْ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٦ |
17 Therefore thou shalt buy diligently with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their oblations and their drink-offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is at Jerusalem.
| لِتَجِدَّ فِي شِرَاءِ ثِيرَانٍ وَكِبَاشٍ وَخِرَافٍ مَعَ تَقْدِمَاتِهَا وَسَكَائِبِ خَمْرِهَا بِهَذِهِ الْفِضَّةِ، لِتُقَرِّبَهَا عَلَى مَذْبَحِ هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٧ |
18 And whatever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do according to the will of your God.
| أَمَّا مَا يَتَبَقَّى مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ، فَتَتَصَرَّفُ فِيهِ أَنْتَ وَسَائِرُ الْكَهَنَةِ حَسَبَ مَا تَرَاهُ بِمُقْتَضَى إِرَادَةِ إِلَهِكُمْ. | ١٨ |
19 And the vessels that have been given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
| كَذَلِكَ سَلِّمْ أَمَامَ إِلَهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَا أُعْطِيتَ مِنْ آنِيَةٍ لِتُسْتَخْدَمَ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِكَ، | ١٩ |
20 And whatever more shall be needful for the house of thy God which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
| ثُمَّ خُذْ مِنْ بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمَلِكِ مَا تَرَى الْهَيْكَلَ فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٠ |
21 And I, I Artaxerxes the king, do give orders to all the treasurers that are beyond the river, that whatever Ezra the priest and scribe of the law of the God of the heavens shall require of you, it be done diligently,
| وَقَدْ أَصْدَرْتُ أَمْراً، أَنَا أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا الْمَلِكُ، إِلَى جَمِيعِ أُمَنَاءِ أَمْوَالِ الْمَلِكِ فِي عَبْرِ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ أَنْ يُلَبُّوا عَلَى وَجْهِ السُّرْعَةِ كُلَّ مَطَالِبِ عِزْرَا الْكَاهِنِ كَاتِبِ شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِ السَّمَاءِ، | ٢١ |
22 unto a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing [how much].
| إِلَى مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَمِئَةِ كُرٍّ مِنَ الْقَمْحِ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ لِتْرٍ) وَمِئَةِ بَثٍّ مِنَ النَّبِيذِ (نَحْوَ أَلْفَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ لِتْرٍ) وَمِئَةِ بَثٍّ مِنَ الزَّيْتِ، وَمِنَ الْمِلْحِ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَدٍّ. | ٢٢ |
23 Whatever is commanded by the God of the heavens, let it be carefully done for the house of the God of the heavens; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
| وَلْيُنَفَّذْ بِأَسْرَعِ وَقْتٍ كُلُّ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ إِلَهُ السَّمَاءِ بِشَأْنِ هَيْكَلِهِ، لأَنَّهُ لِمَاذَا يَحُلُّ غَضَبُهُ عَلَى دِيَارِ الْمَلِكِ وَأَبْنَائِهِ؟ | ٢٣ |
24 Also we inform you, as regards all the priests and Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, and ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, tax, and toll upon them.
| نُفِيدُكُمْ أَنَّ جَمِيعَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَالْمُغَنِّينَ وَحُرَّاسِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخُدَّامِهِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ فِيهِ، مُعْفَوْنَ مِنْ أَيَّةِ جِزْيَةٍ أَوْ خَرَاجٍ أَو خَفَارَةٍ. | ٢٤ |
25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, set magistrates and judges who may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knows [them] not.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عِزْرَا فَبِمُقْتَضَى مَا تَتَمَتَّعُ بِهِ مِنْ حِكْمَةِ إِلَهِكَ، عَيِّنْ حُكَّاماً وَقُضَاةً مِنَ الْعَارِفِينَ بِشَرَائِعِ إِلَهِكَ، يَقْضُونَ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي عَبْرِ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ، وَلْيُعَلِّمُوا الْجَاهِلِينَ بِها. | ٢٥ |
26 And whosoever will not do the law of thy God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed diligently upon him, whether unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
| وَلْيُحْكَمْ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ لَا يُطَبِّقُ شَرِيعَةَ إِلَهِكَ وَشَرِيعَةَ الْمَلِكِ بِالْمَوْتِ أَوِ النَّفْيِ أَوْ بِغَرَامَةٍ مَالِيَّةٍ أَوْ بَالسَّجْنِ». | ٢٦ |
27 Blessed be Jehovah the God of our fathers, who has put [such a thing] as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of Jehovah which is at Jerusalem;
| فَقَالَ عِزْرَا: «مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِنَا الَّذِي وَضَعَ مِثْلَ هَذَا فِي قَلْبِ الْمَلِكِ لِتَكْرِيمِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ٢٧ |
28 and has extended mercy to me before the king and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened, as the hand of Jehovah my God was upon me; and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
| وَقَدْ ظَلَّلَنِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ وَمُسْتَشَارِيهِ، وَأَمَامَ جَمِيعِ قَادَتِهِ الْمُقْتَدِرِينَ؛ وَبِفَضْلِ يَدِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي رَعَتْنِي تَشَدَّدْتُ وَجَمَعْتُ بَعْضَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَرْجِعُوا مَعِي». | ٢٨ |
