< ٢ أخبار 6 >
حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي ٱلضَّبَابِ. | ١ 1 |
Then spoke Solomon: The LORD hath said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
وَأَنَا بَنَيْتُ لَكَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَى مَكَانًا لِسُكْنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٢ 2 |
But I have built Thee a house of habitation, and a place for Thee to dwell in for ever.
وَحَوَّلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجْهَهُ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكُلُّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاقِفٌ. | ٣ 3 |
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel; and all the congregation of Israel stood.
وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِفَمِهِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَأَكْمَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ قَائِلًا: | ٤ 4 |
And he said: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth unto David my father, and hath with His hands fulfilled it, saying:
مُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لَمْ أَخْتَرْ مَدِينَةً مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتٍ لِيَكُونَ ٱسْمِي هُنَاكَ، وَلَا ٱخْتَرْتُ رَجُلًا يَكُونُ رَئِيسًا لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ 5 |
Since the day that I brought forth My people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that My name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over My people Israel;
بَلِ ٱخْتَرْتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَكُونَ ٱسْمِي فِيهَا، وَٱخْتَرْتُ دَاوُدَ لِيَكُونَ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
but I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name might be there; and have chosen David to be over My people Israel.
وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٧ 7 |
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ بِكَوْنِ ذَلِكَ فِي قَلْبِكَ. | ٨ 8 |
But the LORD said unto David my father: Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for My name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;
إِلَّا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ لَا تَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ، بَلِ ٱبْنُكَ ٱلْخَارِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ لِٱسْمِي. | ٩ 9 |
nevertheless thou shalt not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for My name.
وَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَهُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَقَدْ قُمْتُ أَنَا مَكَانَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي، وَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَبَنَيْتُ ٱلْبَيْتَ لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the LORD hath established His word that He spoke; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
وَوَضَعْتُ هُنَاكَ ٱلتَّابُوتَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ عَهْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١١ 11 |
And there have I set the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which He made with the children of Israel.'
وَوَقَفَ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ تُجَاهَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands —
لِأَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ صَنَعَ مِنْبَرًا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَجَعَلَهُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلدَّارِ، طُولُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ وَٱرْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلَاثُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ جَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ تُجَاهَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، | ١٣ 13 |
for Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven —
وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَا إِلَهَ مِثْلُكَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، حَافِظُ ٱلْعَهْدِ وَٱلرَّحْمَةِ لِعَبِيدِكَ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ أَمَامَكَ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمُ. | ١٤ 14 |
and he said: 'O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like Thee, in the heaven, or in the earth; who keepest covenant and mercy with Thy servants, that walk before Thee with all their heart;
ٱلَّذِي قَدْ حَفِظْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ بِفَمِكَ وأَكْمَلْتَ بِيَدِكَ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٥ 15 |
who hast kept with Thy servant David my father that which Thou didst promise him; yea, Thou spokest with Thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with Thy hand, as it is this day.
وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱحْفَظْ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ قَائِلًا: لَا يُعْدَمُ لَكَ أَمَامِي رَجُلٌ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِنْ يَكُنْ بَنُوكَ طُرُقَهُمْ يَحْفَظُونَ حَتَّى يَسِيرُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِي كَمَا سِرْتَ أَنْتَ أَمَامِي. | ١٦ 16 |
Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with Thy servant David my father that which Thou hast promised him, saying: There shall not fail thee a man in My sight to sit on the throne of Israel; if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk in My law as thou hast walked before Me.
وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلْيَتَحَقَّقْ كَلَامُكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, let Thy word be verified, which Thou spokest unto Thy servant David.
لِأَنَّهُ هَلْ يَسْكُنُ ٱللهُ حَقًّا مَعَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَسَمَاءُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تَسَعُكَ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْأَقَلِّ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ! | ١٨ 18 |
But will God in very truth dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this house which I have builded!
فَٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَى صَلَاةِ عَبْدِكَ وَإِلَى تَضَرُّعِهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، وَٱسْمَعِ ٱلصُّرَاخَ وَٱلصَّلَاةَ ٱلَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ أَمَامَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Yet have Thou respect unto the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which Thy servant prayeth before Thee;
لِتَكُونَ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا عَلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتَ إِنَّكَ تَضَعُ ٱسْمَكَ فِيهِ، لِتَسْمَعَ ٱلصَّلَاةَ ٱلَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
that Thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place whereof Thou hast said that thou wouldest put Thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant shall pray toward this place.
وَٱسْمَعْ تَضَرُّعَاتِ عَبْدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِ سُكْنَاكَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ فَٱغْفِرْ. | ٢١ 21 |
And hearken Thou to the supplications of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place; yea, hear Thou from Thy dwelling-place, even from heaven; and when Thou hearest, forgive.
إِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَوُضِعَ عَلَيْهِ حَلْفٌ لِيُحَلِّفَهُ، وَجَاءَ ٱلْحَلْفُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be exacted of him to cause him to swear, and he come and swear before Thine altar in this house;
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱعْمَلْ، وَٱقْضِ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ إِذْ تُعَاقِبُ ٱلْمُذْنِبَ فَتَجْعَلُ طَرِيقَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَتُبَرِّرُ ٱلْبَارَّ إِذْ تُعْطِيهِ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
then hear Thou from heaven, and do, and judge Thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
وَإِنِ ٱنْكَسَرَ شَعْبُكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ لِكَوْنِهِمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا وَٱعْتَرَفُوا بِٱسْمِكَ وَصَلَّوْا وَتَضَرَّعُوا أَمَامَكَ نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٢٤ 24 |
And if Thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, when they sin against Thee, and shall turn again and confess Thy name, and pray and make supplication before Thee in this house;
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْجِعْهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لَهُمْ وَلِآبَائِهِمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
then hear Thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of Thy people Israel, and bring them back unto the land which Thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
«إِذَا أُغْلِقَتِ ٱلسَّمَاءُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَطَرٌ لِكَوْنِهِمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّوْا فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ وَٱعْتَرَفُوا بِٱسْمِكَ وَرَجَعُوا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِمْ لِأَنَّكَ ضَايَقْتَهُمْ، | ٢٦ 26 |
When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, when they sin against Thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess Thy name, turning from their sin, when Thou dost afflict them;
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَلِّمَهُمُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلصَّالِحَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْلُكُونَ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطِ مَطَرًا عَلَى أَرْضِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِشَعْبِكَ مِيرَاثًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
then hear Thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, when Thou dost direct them on the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon Thy land, which Thou hast given to Thy people for an inheritance.
إِذَا صَارَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ جُوعٌ، إِذَا صَارَ وَبَأٌ أَوْ لَفْحٌ أَوْ يَرَقَانٌ أَوْ جَرَادٌ أَوْ جَرْدَمٌ، أَوْ إِذَا حَاصَرَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ مُدُنِهِمْ، فِي كُلِّ ضَرْبَةٍ وَكُلِّ مَرَضٍ، | ٢٨ 28 |
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague or whatsoever sickness there be;
فَكُلُّ صَلَاةٍ وَكُلُّ تَضَرُّعٍ تَكُونُ مِنْ أَيِّ إِنْسَانٍ كَانَ، أَوْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ضَرْبَتَهُ وَوَجَعَهُ، فَيَبْسُطُ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٢٩ 29 |
what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all Thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own pain, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house;
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ، وَٱغْفِرْ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ حَسَبَ كُلِّ طُرُقِهِ كَمَا تَعْرِفُ قَلْبَهُ. لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ تَعْرِفُ قُلُوبَ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
then hear Thou from heaven Thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest — for Thou, even Thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men —
لِكَيْ يَخَافُوكَ وَيَسِيرُوا فِي طُرُقِكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي يَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لِآبَائِنَا. | ٣١ 31 |
that they may fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, all the days that they live in the land which Thou gavest unto our fathers.
وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ هُوَ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَدْ جَاءَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَيَدِكَ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ وَذِرَاعِكَ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةِ، فَمَتَى جَاءُوا وَصَلَّوْا فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٣٢ 32 |
Moreover concerning the stranger, that is not of Thy people Israel, when be shall come out of a far country for Thy great name's sake, and Thy mighty hand, and Thine outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house;
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ وَٱفْعَلْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يَدْعُوكَ بِهِ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ، لِكَيْ يَعْلَمَ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱسْمَكَ فَيَخَافُوكَ كَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِكَيْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱسْمَكَ قَدْ دُعِيَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ. | ٣٣ 33 |
then hear Thou from heaven, even from Thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to Thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, and fear Thee, as doth Thy people Israel, and that they may know that Thy name is called upon this house which I have built.
«إِذَا خَرَجَ شَعْبُكَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَائِهِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي تُرْسِلُهُمْ فِيهِ وَصَلَّوْا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتَهَا، وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ لِٱسْمِكَ، | ٣٤ 34 |
If Thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatsoever way Thou shalt send them, and they pray unto Thee toward this city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for Thy name;
فَٱسْمَعْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَٱقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
then hear Thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
إِذَا أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا يُخْطِئُ، وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَدَفَعْتَهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، وَسَبَاهُمْ سَابُوهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ أَوْ قَرِيبَةٍ، | ٣٦ 36 |
If they sin against Thee — for there is no man that sinneth not — and Thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto a land far off or near;
فَإِذَا رَدُّوا إِلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُسْبَوْنَ إِلَيْهَا، وَرَجَعُوا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا وَعَوَّجْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا، | ٣٧ 37 |
yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn, and make supplication unto Thee in the land of their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done iniquitously, and have dealt wickedly;
وَرَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي سَبَوْهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، وَصَلَّوْا نَحْوَ أَرْضِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتَ، وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ لِٱسْمِكَ، | ٣٨ 38 |
if they return unto Thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which Thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city which Thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for Thy name;
فَٱسْمَعْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَاتِهِمْ، وَٱقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ، وَٱغْفِرْ لِشَعْبِكَ مَا أَخْطَأُوا بِهِ إِلَيْكَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
then hear Thou from heaven, even from Thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause; and forgive Thy people who have sinned against Thee.
ٱلْآنَ يَاإِلَهِي لِتَكُنْ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ، وَأُذُنَاكَ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ لِصَلَاةِ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Now, O my God, let, I beseech Thee, Thine eyes be open, and let Thine ears be attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place.
وَٱلْآنَ قُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ إِلَى رَاحَتِكَ أَنْتَ وَتَابُوتُ عِزِّكَ. كَهَنَتُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ يَلْبِسُونَ ٱلْخَلَاصَ، وَأَتْقِيَاؤُكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ. | ٤١ 41 |
Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into Thy resting-place, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength; let Thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let Thy saints rejoice in good.
أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، لَا تَرُدَّ وَجْهَ مَسِيحِكَ. ٱذْكُرْ مَرَاحِمَ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ». | ٤٢ 42 |
O LORD God, turn not away the face of Thine anointed; remember the good deeds of David Thy servant.'
