١ 1 وَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْفِرَقِ ٱلْخَادِمِينَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَمْوَالِ وَٱلْأَمْلَاكِ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَلِكِ وَلِبَنِيهِ، مَعَ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ وَٱلْأَبْطَالِ وَكُلِّ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْبَأْسِ، إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

٢ 2 وَوَقَفَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «اِسْمَعُونِي يَا إِخْوَتِي وَشَعْبِي. كَانَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ بَيْتَ قَرَارٍ لِتَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلِمَوْطِئِ قَدَمَيْ إِلَهِنَا، وَقَدْ هَيَّأْتُ لِلْبِنَاءِ.

And King Dauid stoode vp vpon his feete; and saide, Heare ye me, my brethren and my people: I purposed to haue buylt an house of rest for the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and for a footestoole of our God, and haue made ready for the building,

٣ 3 وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ قَالَ لِي: لَا تَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجُلُ حُرُوبٍ وَقَدْ سَفَكْتَ دَمًا.

But God sayde vnto me, Thou shalt not buylde an house for my Name, because thou hast bene a man of warre, and hast shed blood.

٤ 4 وَقَدِ ٱخْتَارَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَيْتِ أَبِي لِأَكُونَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا ٱخْتَارَ يَهُوذَا رَئِيسًا، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا بَيْتَ أَبِي، وَمِنْ بَنِي أَبِي سُرَّ بِي لِيُمَلِّكَنِي عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Yet as the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father, to be King ouer Israel for euer (for in Iudah woulde he chuse a prince, and of the house of Iudah is the house of my father, and among the sonnes of my father he delited in me to make me King ouer all Israel)

٥ 5 وَمِنْ كُلِّ بَنِيَّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَعْطَانِي بَنِينَ كَثِيرِينَ، إِنَّماَ ٱخْتَارَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي لِيَجْلِسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

So of all my sonnes (for the Lord hath giuen me many sonnes) he hath euen chosen Salomon my sonne to sit vpon the throne of the kingdome of the Lord ouer Israel.

٦ 6 وَقَالَ لِي: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتِي وَدِيَارِي، لِأَنِّي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ لِي ٱبْنًا، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُ أَبًا،

And he sayd vnto me, Salomon thy sonne, he shall build mine house and my courtes: for I haue chosen him to be my sonne, and I will be his father.

٧ 7 وَأُثَبِّتُ مَمْلَكَتَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ إِذَا تَشَدَّدَ لِلْعَمَلِ حَسَبَ وَصَايَايَ وَأَحْكَامِي كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

I will stablish therefore his kingdome for euer, if he endeuour himselfe to do my commandements, and my iudgements, as this day.

٨ 8 وَٱلْآنَ فِي أَعْيُنِ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَحْفَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَفِي سَمَاعِ إِلَهِنَا، ٱحْفَظُوا وَٱطْلُبُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ لِكَيْ تَرِثُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ وَتُوَرِّثُوهَا لِأَوْلَادِكُمْ بَعْدَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the Congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keepe and seeke for all the commandements of the Lord your God, that ye may possesse this good lande, and leaue it for an inheritance for your children after you for euer.

٩ 9 وَأَنْتَ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ ٱبْنِي، ٱعْرِفْ إِلَهَ أَبِيكَ وَٱعْبُدْهُ بِقَلْبٍ كَامِلٍ وَنَفْسٍ رَاغِبَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَفْحَصُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْقُلُوبِ، وَيَفْهَمُ كُلَّ تَصَوُّرَاتِ ٱلْأَفْكَارِ. فَإِذَا طَلَبْتَهُ يُوجَدُ مِنْكَ، وَإِذَا تَرَكْتَهُ يَرْفُضُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

And thou, Salomon my sonne, know thou the God of thy father, and serue him with a perfit heart, and with a willing minde: For the Lord searcheth all hearts, and vnderstandeth all the imaginations of thoughts: if thou seeke him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for euer.

١٠ 10 اُنْظُرِ ٱلْآنَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدِ ٱخْتَارَكَ لِتَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِلْمَقْدِسِ، فَتَشَدَّدْ وَٱعْمَلْ».
