< اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 9 >
وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَكْمَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِنَاءَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَكُلَّ مَرْغُوبِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِي سُرَّ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ، | ١ 1 |
After Solomon had finished building the house of Yahweh and the king's palace, and after he had accomplished all that he wanted to do,
أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ تَرَاءَى لِسُلَيْمَانَ ثَانِيَةً كَمَا تَرَاءَى لَهُ فِي جِبْعُونَ. | ٢ 2 |
Yahweh appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلَاتَكَ وَتَضَرُّعَكَ ٱلَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتَ بِهِ أَمَامِي. قَدَّسْتُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتَهُ لِأَجْلِ وَضْعِ ٱسْمِي فِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَتَكُونُ عَيْنَايَ وَقَلْبِي هُنَاكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. | ٣ 3 |
Then Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your request that you have made before me. I have set apart this house, which you have built, to myself, to put my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.
وَأَنْتَ إِنْ سَلَكْتَ أَمَامِي كَمَا سَلَكَ دَاوُدُ أَبُوكَ بِسَلَامَةِ قَلْبٍ وَٱسْتِقَامَةٍ، وَعَمِلْتَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ وَحَفِظْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي، | ٤ 4 |
As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked in integrity of heart and in uprightness, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
فَإِنِّي أُقِيمُ كُرْسِيَّ مُلْكِكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ كَمَا كَلَّمْتُ دَاوُدَ أَبَاكَ قَائِلًا: لَا يُعْدَمُ لَكَ رَجُلٌ عَنْ كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ 5 |
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, 'A descendant of yours will never fail to be on the throne of Israel.'
إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَنْقَلِبُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِي، وَلَا تَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَايَ، فَرَائِضِيَ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا أَمَامَكُمْ، بَلْ تَذْهَبُونَ وَتَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَتَسْجُدُونَ لَهَا، | ٦ 6 |
But if you turn away, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have placed before you, and if you go and worship other gods and bow down to them,
فَإِنِّي أَقْطَعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي قَدَّسْتُهُ لِٱسْمِي أَنْفِيهِ مِنْ أَمَامِي، وَيَكُونُ إِسْرَائِيلُ مَثَلًا وَهُزْأَةً فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، | ٧ 7 |
then will I cut off Israel from off the ground that I have given them; and this house that I have set apart to my name, I will cast it out of my sight, and Israel will become an example to be mocked and an object of ridicule among all peoples.
وَهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ يَكُونُ عِبْرَةً. كُلُّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ يَتَعَجَّبُ وَيَصْفِرُ، وَيَقُولُونَ: لِمَاذَا عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَكَذَا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ؟ | ٨ 8 |
This temple will become a heap of ruins, and everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?'
فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَ آبَاءَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا وَعَبَدُوهَا، لِذَلِكَ جَلَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ». | ٩ 9 |
Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on them.'”
وَبَعْدَ نِهَايَةِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً بَعْدَمَا بَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ ٱلْبَيْتَيْنِ، بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ١٠ 10 |
It came about at the end of twenty years that Solomon had finished building the two buildings, the temple of Yahweh and the king's palace.
وَكَانَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ قَدْ سَاعَفَ سُلَيْمَانَ بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ وَخَشَبِ سَرْوٍ وَذَهَبٍ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَسَرَّتِهِ. أَعْطَى حِينَئِذٍ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ حِيرَامَ عِشْرِينَ مَدِينَةً فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ. | ١١ 11 |
Now Hiram, the king of Tyre, had furnished Solomon with cedar and cypress trees, and with gold—all that Solomon desired—so King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
فَخَرَجَ حِيرَامُ مِنْ صُورَ لِيَرَى ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا سُلَيْمَانُ، فَلَمْ تَحْسُنْ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.
فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَنِي يَا أَخِي؟» وَدَعَاهَا «أَرْضَ كَابُولَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٣ 13 |
So Hiram said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” Hiram called them the Land of Kabul, which they are still called today.
وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ لِلْمَلِكِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.
وَهَذَا هُوَ سَبَبُ ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِهِ وَٱلْقَلْعَةِ وَسُورِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصُورَ وَمَجِدُّو وَجَازَرَ. | ١٥ 15 |
This is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon imposed to build the temple of Yahweh and his own palace, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
صَعِدَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ وَأَخَذَ جَازَرَ وَأَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ، وَقَتَلَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا مَهْرًا لِٱبْنَتِهِ ٱمْرَأَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer. He burned it and killed the Canaanites in the city. Then Pharaoh gave the city to his daughter, Solomon's wife, as a wedding gift.
وَبَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ جَازَرَ وَبَيْتَ حُورُونَ ٱلسُّفْلَى | ١٧ 17 |
So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and Beth Horon the Lower,
وَبَعْلَةَ وَتَدْمُرَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ١٨ 18 |
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land of Judah,
وَجَمِيعَ مُدُنِ ٱلْمَخَازِنِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ لِسُلَيْمَانَ، وَمُدُنَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَمُدُنَ ٱلْفُرْسَانِ، وَمَرْغُوبَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِي رَغِبَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَفِي لُبْنَانَ وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ سَلْطَنَتِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
and all the store cities that he possessed, and the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever he wished to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the lands under his rule.
جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢٠ 20 |
As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel,
أَبْنَاؤُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا بَعْدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُحَرِّمُوهُمْ، جَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلَيْمَانُ تَسْخِيرَ عَبِيدٍ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢١ 21 |
their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were not able to totally destroy—Solomon made them into forced laborers, which they are to this day.
وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْهُمْ عَبِيدًا لِأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ ٱلْقِتَالِ وَخُدَّامُهُ وَأُمَرَاؤُهُ وَثَوَالِثُهُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانُهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
However, Solomon made no forced laborers of the people of Israel. Instead, they became his soldiers and his servants, his officials, and his officers and commanders of his chariot forces and his horsemen.
هَؤُلَاءِ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ خَمْسُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسُونَ، ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ ٱلْعَمَلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
These were also the chief officers managing the supervisors who were over Solomon's works, 550 of them, who supervised the people who did the work.
وَلَكِنَّ بِنْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ صَعِدَتْ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ لَهَا، حِينَئِذٍ بَنَى ٱلْقَلْعَةَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Pharaoh's daughter moved from the city of David to the house that Solomon had built for her. Later, Solomon built the Millo.
وَكَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ يُصْعِدُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ لِلرَّبِّ، وَكَانَ يُوقِدُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَأَكْمَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Three times each year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built for Yahweh, burning incense with them on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he completed the temple and was now using it.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ سُفُنًا فِي عِصْيُونَ جَابَرَ ٱلَّتِي بِجَانِبِ أَيْلَةَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ فِي أَرْضِ أَدُومَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
King Solomon built a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
فَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلنَّوَاتِيَّ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ بِٱلْبَحْرِ مَعَ عَبِيدِ سُلَيْمَانَ، | ٢٧ 27 |
Hiram sent servants to Solomon's fleet, sailors who were familiar with the sea, with Solomon's own servants.
فَأَتَوْا إِلَى أُوفِيرَ، وَأَخَذُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ ذَهَبًا أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةً، وَأَتَوْا بِهَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
They went to Ophir with servants of Solomon. From there they brought back 420 talents of gold for King Solomon.
