٢ أخبار 5

١ 1 وَكَمُلَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْعَمَلِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَدْخَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَقْدَاسَ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ. وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْآنِيَةِ جَعَلَهَا فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ.

And all the work that Solomon made for the house of YHWH is finished, and Solomon brings in the sanctified things of his father David, and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he has put among the treasures of the house of God.

٢ 2 حِينَئِذٍ جَمَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكُلَّ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ، رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْآبَاءِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِإِصْعَادِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، هِيَ صِهْيَوْنُ.

Then Solomon assembles the elderly of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from the City of David—it [is] Zion.

٣ 3 فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ.

And all the men of Israel are assembled to the king in the celebration—it [is] the seventh month;

٤ 4 وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَحَمَلَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ ٱلتَّابُوتَ،

and all [the] elderly of Israel come in, and the Levites lift up the Ark,

٥ 5 وَأَصْعَدُوا ٱلتَّابُوتَ وَخَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ آنِيَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، أَصْعَدَهَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ.

and they bring up the Ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent; the priests, the Levites, have brought them up;

٦ 6 وَٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمُجْتَمِعِينَ إِلَيْهِ أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا مَا لَا يُحْصَى وَلَا يُعَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْكَثْرَةِ.

and King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who are convened to him before the Ark are sacrificing sheep and oxen that are not counted nor numbered from multitude.

٧ 7 وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فِي مِحْرَابِ ٱلْبَيْتِ فِي قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ إِلَى تَحْتِ جَنَاحَيِ ٱلْكَرُوبَيْنِ.

And the priests bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to its place, to the oracle of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubim;

٨ 8 وَكَانَ ٱلْكَرُوبَانِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا عَلَى مَوْضِعِ ٱلتَّابُوتِ. وَظَلَّلَ ٱلْكَرُوبَانِ ٱلتَّابُوتَ وَعِصِيَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

and the cherubim are spreading out wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubim cover over the Ark, and over its poles, from above;

٩ 9 وَجَذَبُوا ٱلْعِصِيَّ فَتَرَاءَتْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْعِصِيِّ مِنَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ أَمَامَ ٱلْمِحْرَابِ وَلَمْ تُرَ خَارِجًا، وَهِيَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

and they lengthen the poles, and the heads of the poles are seen out of the Ark on the front of the oracle, and they are not seen outside; and it is there to this day.

١٠ 10 لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ إِلَّا ٱللَّوْحَانِ ٱللَّذَانِ وَضَعَهُمَا مُوسَى فِي حُورِيبَ حِينَ عَاهَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

There is nothing in the Ark but the two tablets that Moses gave in Horeb, where YHWH covenanted with the sons of Israel, in their going out from Egypt.

١١ 11 وَكَانَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ مِنَ ٱلْقُدْسِ، لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ تَقَدَّسُوا، لَمْ تُلَاحَظِ ٱلْفِرَقُ.

And it comes to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy place—for all the priests who are present have sanctified themselves, there is none to watch by divisions,

١٢ 12 وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ ٱلْمُغَنُّونَ أَجْمَعُونَ: آسَافُ وَهَيْمَانُ وَيَدُوثُونُ وَبَنُوهُمْ وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ، لَابِسِينَ كَتَّانًا، بِٱلصُّنُوجِ وَٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلْعِيدَانِ وَاقِفِينَ شَرْقِيَّ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَمَعَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مِئَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ يَنْفُخُونَ فِي ٱلْأَبْوَاقِ.

and the Levites, the singers, to all of them, to Asaph, to Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons, and to their brothers, clothed in white linen, with cymbals, and with psalteries, and harps, are standing on the east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing with trumpets—

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ لَمَّا صَوَّتَ ٱلْمُبَوِّقُونَ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ كَوَاحِدٍ صَوْتًا وَاحِدًا لِتَسْبِيحِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَحَمْدِهِ، وَرَفَعُوا صَوْتًا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ وَٱلصُّنُوجِ وَآلَاتِ ٱلْغِنَاءِ وَٱلتَّسْبِيحِ لِلرَّبِّ: «لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ». أَنَّ ٱلبَيْتَ،بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱمْتَلَأَ سَحَابًا.

indeed, it comes to pass, trumpeters and singers [are] as one, to sound [with] one voice—to praise and to give thanks to YHWH, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving praise to YHWH, [saying], “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time,” that the house is filled with a cloud—the house of YHWH,

١٤ 14 وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ أَنْ يَقِفُوا لِلْخِدْمَةِ بِسَبَبِ ٱلسَّحَابِ، لِأَنَّ مَجْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلَأَ بَيْتَ ٱللهِ.

and the priests have not been able to stand to minister from the presence of the cloud, for the glory of YHWH has filled the house of God.
