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.

Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of Jehovah was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries 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 assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the City of David, which is Zion.

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

And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

٤ 4 وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَحَمَلَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ ٱلتَّابُوتَ،

All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;

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

and they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the priests the Levites brought up.

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

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

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

The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.

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

For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

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

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And they are 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 was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

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

It happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, regardless of the 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.

also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding 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.

it happened, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, "For he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever," then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,

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

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled God's house.
