< ٢ أخبار 6 >
حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي ٱلضَّبَابِ. | ١ 1 |
Then Solomon said, "YHWH has said that he would dwell in the thick cloud.
وَأَنَا بَنَيْتُ لَكَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَى مَكَانًا لِسُكْنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٢ 2 |
But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever."
وَحَوَّلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجْهَهُ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكُلُّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاقِفٌ. | ٣ 3 |
The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِفَمِهِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَأَكْمَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ قَائِلًا: | ٤ 4 |
He said, "Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has 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; nor did I choose any man to be a leader over my people Israel:
بَلِ ٱخْتَرْتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَكُونَ ٱسْمِي فِيهَا، وَٱخْتَرْتُ دَاوُدَ لِيَكُونَ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
but I chose Jerusalem, that my name may be there; and I chose 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 YHWH, 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 YHWH said to David my father, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:
إِلَّا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ لَا تَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ، بَلِ ٱبْنُكَ ٱلْخَارِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ لِٱسْمِي. | ٩ 9 |
nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, 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 |
"YHWH has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH promised, and have built the house for the name of YHWH, the God of Israel.
وَوَضَعْتُ هُنَاكَ ٱلتَّابُوتَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ عَهْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١١ 11 |
There I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of YHWH, which he made with the children of Israel."
وَوَقَفَ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ تُجَاهَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
He stood before the altar of YHWH in the presence of all the assembly 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 bronze scaffold, eight feet and seven inches long, and eight feet and seven inches broad, and five feet and two inches high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly 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, "YHWH, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven, or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
ٱلَّذِي قَدْ حَفِظْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ بِفَمِكَ وأَكْمَلْتَ بِيَدِكَ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٥ 15 |
who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your 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, YHWH, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.'
وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلْيَتَحَقَّقْ كَلَامُكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Now therefore, YHWH, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your 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 indeed dwell with humankind on the earth? Look, heaven and the highest heaven can't contain you; how much less this house which I have built.
فَٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَى صَلَاةِ عَبْدِكَ وَإِلَى تَضَرُّعِهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، وَٱسْمَعِ ٱلصُّرَاخَ وَٱلصَّلَاةَ ٱلَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ أَمَامَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and to his petition, YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
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 your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name; to listen to the prayer which your 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 |
Listen to the petitions of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
إِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَوُضِعَ عَلَيْهِ حَلْفٌ لِيُحَلِّفَهُ، وَجَاءَ ٱلْحَلْفُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
"If a man sins against his neighbor and obliges him to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before your 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 from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on 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 |
"If your people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again and confess your name, and pray and make petition before you in this house;
فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْجِعْهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لَهُمْ وَلِآبَائِهِمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave 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 sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you punish 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 in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your 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 is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;
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 |
whatever prayer and petition be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, 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 from heaven, your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of humankind; )
لِكَيْ يَخَافُوكَ وَيَسِيرُوا فِي طُرُقِكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي يَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لِآبَائِنَا. | ٣١ 31 |
that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to 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 foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for the sake of your name, for they shall hear of your great name, and your mighty hand, and your 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 from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
«إِذَا خَرَجَ شَعْبُكَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَائِهِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي تُرْسِلُهُمْ فِيهِ وَصَلَّوْا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتَهَا، وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ لِٱسْمِكَ، | ٣٤ 34 |
"If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
فَٱسْمَعْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَٱقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
then hear from heaven their prayer and their petition, 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 you (for there is no man who doesn't sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to 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 repent themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and repent and make petition to you in the land of their captivity, saying, 'We have sinned, we have done perversely, 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 to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:
فَٱسْمَعْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَاتِهِمْ، وَٱقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ، وَٱغْفِرْ لِشَعْبِكَ مَا أَخْطَأُوا بِهِ إِلَيْكَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
ٱلْآنَ يَاإِلَهِي لِتَكُنْ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ، وَأُذُنَاكَ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ لِصَلَاةِ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
"Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive, to 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, YHWH God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, YHWH God, be clothed with salvation, and let your faithful ones rejoice in what is good.
أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، لَا تَرُدَّ وَجْهَ مَسِيحِكَ. ٱذْكُرْ مَرَاحِمَ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ». | ٤٢ 42 |
"YHWH God, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant."
