١ أخبار 22

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

And David saith, 'This is the house of Jehovah God, and this the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.'

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

And David saith to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appointeth hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.

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

And iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates, and for couplings, hath David prepared, and brass in abundance — there is no weighing.

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

And cedar-trees even without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees 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.

And David saith, 'Solomon my son [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built to Jehovah [is] to be made exceedingly great, for name and for beauty to all the lands; let me prepare, I pray Thee, for it;' and David prepareth in abundance before his death.

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

And he calleth for Solomon his son, and chargeth him to build a house to Jehovah, God of Israel,

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

and David saith to Solomon his son, 'As for me, it hath been with my heart to build a house to 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.

and the word of Jehovah [is] against me, saying, Blood in abundance thou hast shed, and great wars thou hast made: thou dost not build a house to My name, for much blood thou hast shed to the earth before Me.

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.

'Lo, a son is born to thee; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his enemies round about, for Solomon is his name, and peace and quietness I give unto Israel in his days;

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

he doth build a house to My name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel unto the age.

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

'Now, my son, Jehovah is with thee, and thou hast prospered, and hast built the house of Jehovah thy God, as He spake concerning thee.

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

Only, Jehovah give to thee wisdom and understanding, and charge thee concerning Israel, even 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 thou dost prosper, if thou dost observe to do the statutes and the judgments that Jehovah charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.

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 lo, in mine affliction, I have prepared for the house of Jehovah of gold talents a hundred thousand, and of silver a thousand thousand talents; and of brass and of iron there is no weighing, for in abundance it hath been, and wood and stones I have prepared, and to them thou dost add.

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

'And with thee in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and artificers of stone and of wood, and every skilful man for every work.

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

To the gold, to the silver, and to the brass, and to the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and Jehovah is with thee.'

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

And David giveth charge to all heads of Israel to give help to Solomon his son,

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? yea, He hath given rest to you round about, for He hath given into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and subdued hath been the land 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, give your heart and your soul to seek to Jehovah your God, and rise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built to the name of Jehovah.'
