١ أخبار 29

١ 1 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِكُلِّ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ: «إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي ٱلَّذِي وَحْدَهُ ٱخْتَارَهُ ٱللهُ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ صَغِيرٌ وَغَضٌّ، وَٱلْعَمَلُ عَظِيمٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ لَيْسَ لِإِنْسَانٍ بَلْ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ.

And David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom the Lord has chosen, [is] young and tender, and the work [is] great; for [it is] not for man, but for the Lord God.

٢ 2 وَأَنَا بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِي هَيَّأْتُ لِبَيْتِ إِلَهِيَ: ٱلذَّهَبَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَٱلْفِضَّةَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَٱلنُّحَاسَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَٱلْحَدِيدَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَٱلْخَشَبَ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ خَشَبٍ، وَحِجَارَةَ ٱلْجَزَعِ، وَحِجَارَةً لِلتَّرْصِيعِ، وَحِجَارَةً كَحْلَاءَ وَرَقْمَاءَ، وَكُلَّ حِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ، وَحِجَارَةَ ٱلرُّخَامِ بِكَثْرَةٍ.

I have prepared according to all [my] might for the house of my God gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, onyx stones, and costly and variegated stones for setting, and every precious stone, and much Parian [marble].

٣ 3 وَأَيْضًا لِأَنِّي قَدْ سُرِرْتُ بِبَيْتِ إِلَهِي، لِي خَاصَّةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ قَدْ دَفَعْتُهَا لِبَيْتِ إِلَهِي فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ مَا هَيَّأْتُهُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلْقُدْسِ:

And still farther, because I took pleasure in the house of my God, I have gold and silver which I have procured for myself, and, behold, I have given them to the house of my God over and above, beyond what I have prepared for the holy house.

٤ 4 ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةِ ذَهَبٍ مِنْ ذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةِ فِضَّةٍ مُصَفَّاةٍ، لِأَجْلِ تَغْشِيَةِ حِيطَانِ ٱلْبُيُوتِ.

Three thousand talents of gold of Suphir, and seven thousand talents of fine silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the sanctuary:

٥ 5 ٱلذَّهَبُ لِلذَّهَبِ، وَٱلْفِضَّةُ لِلْفِضَّةِ وَلِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ بِيَدِ أَرْبَابِ ٱلصَّنَائِعِ. فَمَنْ يَنْتَدِبُ ٱلْيَوْمَ لِمِلْءِ يَدِهِ لِلرَّبِّ؟»

[for you to use] the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for every work by the hand of the artificers. And who is willing to dedicate himself in work this day for the Lord?

٦ 6 فَٱنْتَدَبَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْآبَاءِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَٱلْمِئَاتِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ أَشْغَالِ ٱلْمَلِكِ،

Then the heads of families, and the princes of the children of Israel, and the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the works, and the king's builders, offered willingly.

٧ 7 وَأَعْطَوْا لِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ خَمْسَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةٍ وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ، وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ، وَمِئَةَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْحَدِيدِ.

And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents of gold, and ten thousand gold [pieces], and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

٨ 8 وَمَنْ وُجِدَ عِنْدَهُ حِجَارَةٌ أَعْطَاهَا لِخَزِينَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَنْ يَدِ يَحِيئِيلَ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّ.

And they who had [precious] stone, gave it into the treasuries of the house of the Lord by the hand of Jeiel the Gedsonite.

٩ 9 وَفَرِحَ ٱلشَّعْبُ بِٱنْتِدَابِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بِقَلْبٍ كَامِلٍ ٱنْتَدَبُوا لِلرَّبِّ. وَدَاوُدُ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَيْضًا فَرِحَ فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا.

And the people rejoiced because of the willingness, for they offered willingly to the Lord with a full heart: and king David rejoiced greatly.

١٠ 10 وَبَارَكَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَبِينَا مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

And king David blessed the Lord before the congregation, saying, Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father, from everlasting and to everlasting.

١١ 11 لَكَ يَارَبُّ ٱلْعَظَمَةُ وَٱلْجَبَرُوتُ وَٱلْجَلَالُ وَٱلْبَهَاءُ وَٱلْمَجْدُ، لِأَنَّ لَكَ كُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ. لَكَ يَارَبُّ ٱلْمُلْكُ، وَقَدِ ٱرْتَفَعْتَ رَأْسًا عَلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ.

Your, O Lord, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the might: for you are Lord of all things that are in heaven and upon the earth: before your face every king and nation is troubled.

١٢ 12 وَٱلْغِنَى وَٱلْكَرَامَةُ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى ٱلْجَمِيعِ، وَبِيَدِكَ ٱلْقُوَّةُ وَٱلْجَبَرُوتُ، وَبِيَدِكَ تَعْظِيمُ وَتَشْدِيدُ ٱلْجَمِيعِ.

From you [come] wealth and glory: you, O Lord, rule over all, the Lord of all dominion, and in your hand [is] strength and rule; and [you are] almighty with your hand to increase and establish all things.

١٣ 13 وَٱلْآنَ، يَا إِلَهَنَا نَحْمَدُكَ وَنُسَبِّحُ ٱسْمَكَ ٱلْجَلِيلَ.

And now, Lord, we give thanks to you, and praise your glorious name.

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنْ مَنْ أَنَا، وَمَنْ هُوَ شَعْبِي حَتَّى نَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ نَنْتَدِبَ هَكَذَا؟ لِأَنَّ مِنْكَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ وَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَعْطَيْنَاكَ.

But who am I, and what [is] my people, that we have been able to be thus forward [in offering] to you? for all things [are] your, and of your own have we given you,

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ غُرَبَاءُ أَمَامَكَ، وَنُزَلَاءُ مِثْلُ كُلِّ آبَائِنَا. أَيَّامُنَا كَٱلظِّلِّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ رَجَاءٌ.

for we are strangers before you, and sojourners, as all our fathers [were]: our days upon the earth [are] as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

١٦ 16 أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، كُلُّ هَذِهِ ٱلثَّرْوَةِ ٱلَّتِي هَيَّأْنَاهَا لِنَبْنِيَ لَكَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ قُدْسِكَ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ يَدِكَ، وَلَكَ ٱلْكُلُّ.

O Lord our God, as for all this abundance which I have prepared that a house should be built to your holy name, it is of your hand, and all [is] your.

١٧ 17 وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا إِلَهِي أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَحِنُ ٱلْقُلُوبَ وَتُسَرُّ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ. أَنَا بِٱسْتِقَامَةِ قَلْبِي ٱنْتَدَبْتُ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ، وَٱلْآنَ شَعْبُكَ ٱلْمَوْجُودُ هُنَا رَأَيْتُهُ بِفَرَحٍ يَنْتَدِبُ لَكَ.

And I know, Lord, that you are he that searches the hearts, and you love righteousness. I have willingly offered all these things in simplicity of heart; and now I have seen with joy your people here present, willingly offering to you.

١٨ 18 يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ آبَائِنَا، ٱحْفَظْ هَذِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فِي تَصَوُّرِ أَفْكَارِ قُلُوبِ شَعْبِكَ، وَأَعِدَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ نَحْوَكَ.

O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, preserve these things in the thought of the heart of your people for ever, and direct their hearts to you.

١٩ 19 وَأَمَّا سُلَيْمَانُ ٱبْنِي فَأَعْطِهِ قَلْبًا كَامِلًا لِيَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاكَ، شَهَادَاتِكَ وَفَرَائِضَكَ، وَلِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ، وَلِيَبْنِيَ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ ٱلَّذِي هَيَّأْتُ لَهُ».

And to Solomon my son give a good heart, to perform your commandments, and [to observe] your testimonies, and your ordinances, and to accomplish the building of your house.

٢٠ 20 ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِكُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ: «بَارِكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ». فَبَارَكَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ، وَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لِلرَّبِّ وَلِلْمَلِكِ.

And David said to the whole congregation, Bless you the Lord our God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and they bowed the knee and worshipped the Lord, and [did obeisance] to the king.

٢١ 21 وَذَبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ ذَبَائِحَ وَأَصْعَدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي غَدِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: أَلْفَ ثَوْرٍ وَأَلْفَ كَبْشٍ وَأَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ مَعَ سَكَائِبِهَا، وَذَبَائِحَ كَثِيرَةً لِكُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And David sacrificed to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings to the Lord on the morrow after the first day, a thousand calves, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, and their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

٢٢ 22 وَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ. وَمَلَّكُوا ثَانِيَةً سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ، وَمَسَحُوهُ لِلرَّبِّ رَئِيسًا، وَصَادُوقَ كَاهِنًا.

And they ate and drank joyfully that day before the Lord: and they made Solomon the son of David king a second time, and anointed him king before the Lord, and Sadoc to the priesthood.

٢٣ 23 وَجَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلِكًا مَكَانَ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَنَجَحَ وَأَطَاعَهُ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and was highly honored; and all Israel obeyed him.

٢٤ 24 وَجَمِيعُ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَٱلْأَبْطَالِ وَجَمِيعُ أَوْلَادِ ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ أَيْضًا خَضَعُوا لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

The princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons of king David his father, were subject to him.

٢٥ 25 وَعَظَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ سُلَيْمَانَ جِدًّا فِي أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَلَالًا مَلِكِيًّا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى مَلِكٍ قَبْلَهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel, and gave him royal glory, such as was not upon any king before him.

٢٦ 26 وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ يَسَّى مَلَكَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And David the son of Jessae reigned over Israel forty years;

٢٧ 27 وَٱلزَّمَانُ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِيهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً. مَلَكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فِي حَبْرُونَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

seven years in Chebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

٢٨ 28 وَمَاتَ بِشَيْبَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ وَقَدْ شَبِعَ أَيَّامًا وَغِنىً وَكَرَامَةً. وَمَلَكَ سُلَيْمَانُ ٱبْنُهُ مَكَانَهُ.

And he died in a good old age, full of days, in wealth, and glory: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

٢٩ 29 وَأُمُورُ دَاوُدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةُ هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلرَّائِي، وَأَخْبَارِ نَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ، وَأَخْبَارِ جَادَ ٱلرَّائِي،

And the rest of the acts of David, the former and the latter, are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,

٣٠ 30 مَعَ كُلِّ مُلْكِهِ وَجَبَرُوتِهِ وَٱلْأَوْقَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَبَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأُرُوضِ.

concerning all his reign, and his power, and the times which went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the earth.
