اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 4

١ 1 وَكَانَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مَلِكًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And king Solomon was king over all Israel.

٢ 2 وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ: عَزَرْيَاهُو بْنُ صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ،

And these were the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;

٣ 3 وَأَلِيحُورَفُ وَأَخِيَّا ٱبْنَا شِيشَا كَاتِبَانِ. وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ ٱلْمُسَجِّلُ،

Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

٤ 4 وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ عَلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ، وَصَادُوقُ وَأَبِيَاثَارُ كَاهِنَانِ.

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

٥ 5 وَعَزَرْيَاهُو بْنُ نَاثَانَ عَلَى ٱلْوُكَلَاءِ، وَزَابُودُ بْنُ نَاثَانَ كَاهِنٌ وَصَاحِبُ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister and the king's friend;

٦ 6 وَأَخِيشَارُ عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَأَدُونِيرَامُ بْنُ عَبْدَا عَلَى ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ.

and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the levy.

٧ 7 وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ وَكِيلًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَمْتَارُونَ لِلْمَلِكِ وَبَيْتِهِ. كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْوَاحِدِ أَنْ يَمْتَارَ شَهْرًا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ.

And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.

٨ 8 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمُ: ٱبْنُ حُورَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.

And these are their names: The son of Hur, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

the son of Deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan;

the son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife;

١٢ 12 بَعْنَا بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ فِي تَعْنَكَ وَمَجِدُّو وَكُلِّ بَيْتِ شَانٍ ٱلَّتِي بِجَانِبِ صُرْتَانَ تَحْتَ يَزْرَعِيلَ، مِنْ بَيْتِ شَانَ إِلَى آبَلَ مَحُولَةَ، إِلَى مَعْبَرِ يَقْمَعَامَ.

Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;

١٣ 13 ٱبْنُ جَابَرَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. لَهُ حَوُّوثُ يَائِيرَ ٱبْنِ مَنَسَّى ٱلَّتِي فِي جِلْعَادَ، وَلَهُ كُورَةُ أَرْجُوبَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَاشَانَ. سِتُّونَ مَدِينَةً عَظِيمَةً بِأَسْوَارٍ وَعَوَارِضَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and one officer that was over all the officers in the land.

٢٠ 20 وَكَانَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلُ كَثِيرِينَ كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ.

Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.

٢١ 21 وَكَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَرْضِ فِلِسْطِينَ، وَإِلَى تُخُومِ مِصْرَ. كَانُوا يُقَدِّمُونَ ٱلْهَدَايَا وَيَخْدِمُونَ سُلَيْمَانَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt; they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

٢٢ 22 وَكَانَ طَعَامُ سُلَيْمَانَ لِلْيَوْمِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ: ثَلَاثِينَ كُرَّ سَمِيذٍ، وَسِتِّينَ كُرَّ دَقِيقٍ،

And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal;

٢٣ 23 وَعَشْرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ مُسَمَّنَةٍ، وَعِشْرِينَ ثَوْرًا مِنَ ٱلْمَرَاعِي، وَمِئَةَ خَرُوفٍ، مَا عَدَا ٱلْأَيَائِلَ وَٱلظِّبَاءَ وَٱلْيَحَامِيرَ وَٱلْإِوَزَّ ٱلْمُسَمَّنَ.

ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, beside harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.

٢٤ 24 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ مَا عَبْرَ ٱلنَّهْرِ مِنْ تَفْسَحَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ، عَلَى كُلِّ مُلُوكِ عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَكَانَ لَهُ صُلْحٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ جَوَانِبِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

For he had dominion over all the region on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River; and he had peace on all sides round about him.

٢٥ 25 وَسَكَنَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلُ آمِنِينَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمَتِهِ وَتَحْتَ تِينَتِهِ، مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، كُلَّ أَيَّامِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

٢٦ 26 وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ مِذْوَدٍ لِخَيْلِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ، وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ.

And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

٢٧ 27 وَهَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوُكَلَاءُ كَانُوا يَمْتَارُونَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَلِكُلِّ مَنْ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى مَائِدَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي شَهْرِهِ. لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ.

And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.

٢٨ 28 وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ بِشَعِيرٍ وَتِبْنٍ لِلْخَيْلِ وَٱلْجِيَادِ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ قَضَائِهِ.

Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds brought they unto the place where it should be, every man according to his charge.

٢٩ 29 وَأَعْطَى ٱللهُ سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةً وَفَهْمًا كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَرَحْبَةَ قَلْبٍ كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.

٣٠ 30 وَفَاقَتْ حِكْمَةُ سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَكُلَّ حِكْمَةِ مِصْرَ.

And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

٣١ 31 وَكَانَ أَحْكَمَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ، مِنْ إِيثَانَ ٱلْأَزْرَاحِيِّ وَهَيْمَانَ وَكَلْكُولَ وَدَرْدَعَ بَنِي مَاحُولَ. وَكَانَ صِيتُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

For he was wiser than all men: than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations round about.

٣٢ 32 وَتَكَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ مَثَلٍ، وَكَانَتْ نَشَائِدُهُ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسًا.

And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.

٣٣ 33 وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْجَارِ، مِنَ ٱلْأَرْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ إِلَى ٱلزُّوفَا ٱلنَّابِتِ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ. وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَعَنِ ٱلطَّيْرِ وَعَنِ ٱلدَّبِيبِ وَعَنِ ٱلسَّمَكِ.

And he spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spoke also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

٣٤ 34 وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ لِيَسْمَعُوا حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ، مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا بِحِكْمَتِهِ.

And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
