وَبَعْدَ نِهَايَةِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، بَعْدَ أَنْ بَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتَهُ، ١ 1
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,

And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.
وَبَنَى تَدْمُرَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجَمِيعَ مُدُنِ ٱلْمَخَازِنِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا فِي حَمَاةَ. ٤ 4
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath.
وَبَنَى بَيْتَ حُورُونَ ٱلْعُلْيَا وَبَيْتَ حُورُونَ ٱلسُّفْلَى، مُدُنًا حَصِينَةً بِأَسْوَارٍ وَأَبْوَابٍ وَعَوَارِضَ. ٥ 5
Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
وَبَعْلَةَ وَكُلَّ مُدُنِ ٱلْمَخَازِنِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ لِسُلَيْمَانَ، وَجَمِيعَ مُدُنِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَمُدُنِ ٱلْفُرْسَانِ وَكُلَّ مَرْغُوبِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِي رَغِبَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَفِي لُبْنَانَ وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ سُلْطَانِهِ. ٦ 6
and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
أَمَّا جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْبَاقِي مِنَ ٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسُوا مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٧ 7
As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;
مِنْ بَيْنِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا بَعْدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُفْنِهِمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَجَعَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَيْهِمْ سُخْرَةً إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٨ 8
of their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants, unto this day.
وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْهُمْ عَبِيدًا لِشُغْلِهِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ ٱلْقِتَالِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ قُوَّادِهِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانِهِ. ٩ 9
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
وَهَؤُلَاءِ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، مِئَتَانِ وَخَمْسُونَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطُونَ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ. ١٠ 10
And these were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two hundred and fifty, that bore rule over the people.
وَأَمَّا بِنْتُ فِرْعَوْنَ فَأَصْعَدَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ لَهَا، لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَا تَسْكُنِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ لِي فِي بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمَاكِنَ ٱلَّتِي دَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا تَابُوتُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مُقَدَّسَةٌ». ١١ 11
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said: 'No wife of mine shall dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.'
حِينَئِذٍ أَصْعَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّواقِ. ١٢ 12
Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ مُوسَى فِي ٱلسُّبُوتِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ وَٱلْمَوَاسِمِ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ، فِي عِيدِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ وَعِيدِ ٱلْأَسَابِيعِ وَعِيدِ ٱلْمَظَالِّ. ١٣ 13
even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed seasons, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
وَأَوْقَفَ حَسَبَ قَضَاءِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ فِرَقَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِمْ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ عَلَى حِرَاسَاتِهِمْ، لِلتَّسْبِيحِ وَٱلْخِدْمَةِ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ، عَمَلِ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ، وَٱلْبَوَّابِينَ حَسَبَ فِرَقِهِمْ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ. لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا هِيَ وَصِيَّةُ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ. ١٤ 14
And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their courses at every gate; for so had David the man of God commanded.
وَلَمْ يَحِيدُوا عَنْ وَصِيَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ وَفِي ٱلْخَزَائِنِ. ١٥ 15
And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
فَتَهَيَّأَ كُلُّ عَمَلِ سُلَيْمَانَ إِلَى يَوْمِ تَأْسِيسِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَإِلَى نِهَايَتِهِ. فَكَمَلَ بَيْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٦ 16
So all the work of Solomon was set in order from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
حِينَئِذٍ ذَهَبَ سُلَيْمَانُ إِلَى عِصْيُونَ جَابِرَ، وَإِلَى أَيْلَةَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي أَرْضِ أَدُومَ. ١٧ 17
Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the sea-shore in the land of Edom.
وَأَرْسَلَ لَهُ حُورَامُ بِيَدِ عَبِيدِهِ سُفُنًا وَعَبِيدًا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْبَحْرَ، فَأَتَوْا مَعَ عَبِيدِ سُلَيْمَانَ إِلَى أُوفِيرَ، وَأَخَذُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَأَتَوْا بِهَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. ١٨ 18
