١ أخبار 22

١ 1 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «هَذَا هُوَ بَيْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ مَذْبَحُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ».

And David said, This is the house of Jehovah Elohim, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel.

٢ 2 وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ بِجَمْعِ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَقَامَ نَحَّاتِينَ لِنَحْتِ حِجَارَةٍ مُرَبَّعَةٍ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ.

And David commanded to collect the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

٣ 3 وَهَيَّأَ دَاوُدُ حَدِيدًا كَثِيرًا لِلْمَسَامِيرِ لِمَصَارِيعِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ وَلِلْوُصَلِ، وَنُحَاسًا كَثِيرًا بِلَا وَزْنٍ،

And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joists, and brass in abundance without weight;

٤ 4 وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَدَدٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَٱلصُّورِيِّينَ أَتَوْا بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ كَثِيرٍ إِلَى دَاوُدَ.

and cedar-trees innumerable; for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-wood in abundance to David.

٥ 5 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي صَغِيرٌ وَغَضٌّ، وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي يُبْنَى لِلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ عَظِيمًا جِدًّا فِي ٱلِٱسْمِ وَٱلْمَجْدِ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، فَأَنَا أُهَيِّئُ لَهُ». فَهَيَّأَ دَاوُدُ كَثِيرًا قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ.

For David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Jehovah must be exceeding great in fame and in beauty in all lands: I will therefore make preparation for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death.

٦ 6 وَدَعَا سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for Jehovah the God of Israel.

٧ 7 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «يَا ٱبْنِي، قَدْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي.

And David said to Solomon, As for me, my son, I was minded to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God.

٨ 8 فَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: قَدْ سَفَكْتَ دَمًا كَثِيرًا وَعَمِلْتَ حُرُوبًا عَظِيمَةً، فَلَا تَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي لِأَنَّكَ سَفَكْتَ دِمَاءً كَثِيرَةً عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامِي.

But the word of Jehovah came to me saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

٩ 9 هُوَذَا يُولَدُ لَكَ ٱبْنٌ يَكُونُ صَاحِبَ رَاحَةٍ، وَأُرِيحُهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَهُ يَكُونُ سُلَيْمَانَ. فَأَجْعَلُ سَلَامًا وَسَكِينَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِهِ.

Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and in his days I will give peace and quietness unto Israel.

١٠ 10 هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لِيَ ٱبْنًا، وَأَنَا لَهُ أَبًا وَأُثَبِّتُ كُرْسِيَّ مُلْكِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

He shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

١١ 11 ٱلْآنَ يَا ٱبْنِي، لِيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ فَتُفْلِحَ وَتَبْنِيَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْكَ.

Now, my son, Jehovah be with thee, that thou mayest prosper, and build the house of Jehovah thy God, as he has said of thee.

١٢ 12 إِنَّمَا يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِطْنَةً وَفَهْمًا وَيُوصِيكَ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ لِحِفْظِ شَرِيعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

Only, Jehovah give thee wisdom and understanding, and place thee over Israel, and to keep the law of Jehovah thy God.

١٣ 13 حِينَئِذٍ تُفْلِحُ إِذَا تَحَفَّظْتَ لِعَمَلِ ٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى لِأَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ.

Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to perform the statutes and ordinances which Jehovah commanded Moses for Israel: be strong and courageous; fear not, neither be dismayed.

١٤ 14 هَأَنَذَا فِي مَذَلَّتِي هَيَّأْتُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ذَهَبًا مِئَةَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ، وَفِضَّةً أَلْفَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ، وَنُحَاسًا وَحَدِيدًا بِلَا وَزْنٍ لِأَنَّهُ كَثِيرٌ. وَقَدْ هَيَّأْتُ خَشَبًا وَحِجَارَةً فَتَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا.

And behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Jehovah a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight, for it is in abundance; and timber and stone have I prepared; and thou shalt add to it.

١٥ 15 وَعِنْدَكَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ عَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ: نَحَّاتِينَ وَبَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ وَكُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ.

And there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every kind of work.

١٦ 16 ٱلذَّهَبُ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلنُّحَاسُ وَٱلْحَدِيدُ لَيْسَ لَهَا عَدَدٌ. قُمْ وَٱعْمَلْ، وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ».

Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing and Jehovah be with thee.

١٧ 17 وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُسَاعِدُوا سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ:

And David commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying, ]

١٨ 18 «أَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مَعَكُمْ، وَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ دَفَعَ لِيَدِي سُكَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَخَضَعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَمَامَ شَعْبِهِ؟

Is not Jehovah your God with you? and has he [not] given you rest on every side? for he has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and before his people.

١٩ 19 فَٱلْآنَ ٱجْعَلُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ وَأَنْفُسَكُمْ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَقُومُوا وَٱبْنُوا مَقْدِسَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ، لِيُؤْتَى بِتَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبِآنِيَةِ قُدْسِ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي يُبْنَى لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ».

Now set your heart and your soul to seek Jehovah your God; and arise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah Elohim, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the vessels of the sanctuary of God into the house that is to be built unto the name of Jehovah.
