عَزْرَا 3
| وَلَمَّا ٱسْتُهِلَّ ٱلشَّهْرُ ٱلسَّابِعُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مُدُنِهِمُ، ٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١ 1 |
And now the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities: and the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
| وَقَامَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ يُوصَادَاقَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ، وَزَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ، وَبَنَوْا مَذْبَحَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُصْعِدُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى رَجُلِ ٱللهِ. | ٢ 2 |
And Josue the son of Josedec rose up, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel that they might offer holocausts upon it, as it is written in the law of Moses the mall of God.
| وَأَقَامُوا ٱلْمَذْبَحَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ رُعْبٌ مِنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَأَصْعَدُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ، مُحْرَقَاتِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَٱلْمَسَاءِ. | ٣ 3 |
And they set the altar of God upon its bases, while the people of the lands round about put them in fear, and they offered upon it a holocaust to the Lord morning and evening.
| وَحَفِظُوا عِيدَ ٱلْمَظَالِّ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ، وَمُحْرَقَةَ يَوْمٍ فَيَوْمٍ بِٱلْعَدَدِ كَٱلْمَرْسُومِ، أَمْرَ ٱلْيَوْمِ بِيَوْمِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the holocaust every day orderly according to the commandment, the duty of the day in its day.
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةُ ٱلدَّائِمَةُ، وَلِلْأَهِلَّةِ وَلِجَمِيعِ مَوَاسِمِ ٱلرّبِّ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَلِكُلِّ مَن تبرَّعَ بِمُتَبَرَّعٍ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
And afterwards the continual holocaust, both on the new moons, and on all the solemnities of the Lord, that were consecrated, and on all in which a free-will offering was made to the Lord.
| ٱبْتَدَأُوا مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ يُصْعِدُونَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ، وَهَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ تَأَسَّسَ. | ٦ 6 |
From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer holocausts to the Lord: but the temple of God was not yet founded.
| وَأَعْطَوْا فِضَّةً لِلنَّحَّاتِينَ وَٱلنَّجَّارِينَ، وَمَأْكَلًا وَمَشْرَبًا وَزَيْتًا لِلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَٱلصُّورِيِّينَ لِيَأْتُوا بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ إِلَى بَحْرِ يَافَا، حَسَبَ إِذْنِ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ لَهُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
And they gave money to hewers of stones and to masons: and meat and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppe, according to the orders which Cyrus king of the Persians had given them.
| وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ مَجِيئِهِمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، شَرَعَ زَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ يُوصَادَاقَ وَبَقِيَّةُ إِخْوَتِهِمِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْيِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَقَامُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ لِلْمُنَاظَرَةِ عَلَى عَمَلِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٨ 8 |
And in the second year of their coming to the temple of God in Jerusalem, the second month, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests, and the Levites, and all that were come from the captivity to Jerusalem began, and they appointed Levites from twenty years old and upward, to hasten forward the work of the Lord.
| وَوَقَفَ يَشُوعُ مَعَ بَنِيهِ وَإِخْوَتِهِ، قَدْمِيئِيلَ وَبَنِيهِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا مَعًا لِلْمُنَاظَرَةِ عَلَى عَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، وَبَنِي حِينَادَادَ مَعَ بَنِيهِمْ وَإِخْوَتِهِمِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. | ٩ 9 |
Then Josue and his sons and his brethren, Cedmihel, and his sons, and the children of Juda, as one man, stood to hasten them that did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brethren the Levites.
| وَلَمَّا أَسَّسَ ٱلْبَانُونَ هَيْكَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَقَامُوا ٱلْكَهَنَةَ بِمَلَابِسِهِمْ بِأَبْوَاقٍ، وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَنِي آسَافَ بِٱلصُّنُوجِ، لِتَسْبِيحِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى تَرْتِيبِ دَاوُدَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And when the masons laid the foundations of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their ornaments with trumpets: and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise God by the hands of David king of Israel.
| وَغَنَّوْا بِٱلتَّسْبِيحِ وَٱلْحَمْدِ لِلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ هَتَفُوا هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا بِٱلتَّسْبِيحِ لِلرَّبِّ لِأَجْلِ تَأْسِيسِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١١ 11 |
And they sung together hymns, and praise to the Lord: because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, praising the Lord, because the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid.
| وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَرُؤُوسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ، بَكَوْا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ عِنْدَ تَأْسِيسِ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ. وَكَثِيرُونَ كَانُوا يَرْفَعُونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِٱلْهُتَافِ بِفَرَحٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
But many of the priests and the Levites, and the chief of the fathers and the ancients that had seen the former temple; when they had the foundation of this temple before their eyes, wept with a loud voice: and many shouting for joy, lifted up their voice.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلشَّعْبُ يُمَيِّزُ هُتَافَ ٱلْفَرَحِ مِنْ صَوْتِ بُكَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ كَانَ يَهْتِفُ هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا حَتَّى أَنَّ ٱلصَّوْتَ سُمِعَ مِنْ بُعْدٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
So that one could not distinguish the voice of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people: for one with another the people shouted with a loud shout, and the voice was heard afar off.
