2 أخبار 6
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي الضَّبَابِ. | ١ 1 |
Then said Solomon, The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
| وَلَكِنِّي بَنَيْتُ هَيْكَلاً رَائِعاً، مَقَرّاً لِسُكْنَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ٢ 2 |
But I have built an house of habitation for you, and a place for your dwelling for ever.
| ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمَاثِلِ هُنَاكَ وَبَارَكَهُمْ، | ٣ 3 |
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
| وَقَالَ: «تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي حَقَّقَ الْيَوْمَ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي قَائِلاً: | ٤ 4 |
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has with his hands fulfilled that which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
| مُنْذُ أَنْ أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَمْ أَخْتَرْ مَدِينَةً مِنْ بَيْنِ مُدُنِ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ اسْمِي هُنَاكَ، وَلا اصْطَفَيْتُ رَجُلاً يَمْلِكُ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ | ٥ 5 |
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
| سِوَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَكُونَ اسْمِي فِيهَا، وَدَاوُدَ لِيَحْكُمَ 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.
| وَقَدْ نَوَى أَبِي دَاوُدُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلاً لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: لَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ إِذْ نَوَيْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ لِي هَيْكَلاً. | ٨ 8 |
But the LORD said to David my father, For as much as it was in your heart to build an house for my name, you did well in that it was in your heart:
| لَكِنْ لَسْتَ أَنْتَ مَنْ يَبْنِيهِ، بَلِ ابْنُكَ الْخَارِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي الْهَيْكَلَ لاِسْمِي. | ٩ 9 |
Notwithstanding you shall not build the house; but your son which shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
| وَأَوْفَى الرَّبُّ بِمَا وَعَدَ، فَخَلَفْتُ أَنَا دَاوُدَ أَبِي عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ، وَأَقَمْتُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
The LORD therefore has performed his word that he has spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
| وَوَضَعْتُ فِيهِ التَّابُوتَ الَّذِي يَضُمُّ عَهْدَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١١ 11 |
And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
| وَانْتَصَبَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ، فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ 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:
| لأَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ كَانَ قَدْ صَنَعَ مِنْبَراً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ أَقَامَهُ فِي وَسَطِ الدَّارِ، طُولُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلاثُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ أَوَّلاً، ثُمَّ جَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، | 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 middle of the court: and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
| وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ نَظِيرَكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تُحَافِظُ عَلَى عَهْدِ الرَّحْمَةِ مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ السَّائِرِينَ أَمَامَكَ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ، | ١٤ 14 |
And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keep covenant, and show mercy to your servants, that walk before you with all their hearts:
| هَا قَدْ حَقَّقْتَ الْيَوْمَ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ كُلَّ مَا وَعَدْتَهُ بِهِ، | ١٥ 15 |
You which have kept with your servant David my father that which you have promised him; and spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
| وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْفِ بِمَا وَعَدْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ أبِي دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: إِنْ حَذَا أَوْلادُكَ حَذْوَكَ، وَمَارَسُوا شَرِيعَتِي أَمَامِي، فَلَنْ يَخْلُوَ يَوْماً عَرْشُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Now therefore, O LORD 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; yet so that your children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you have walked before me.
| وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَتَحَقَّقْ وَعْدُكَ هَذَا الَّذِي قَطَعْتَهُ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you have spoken to your servant David.
| لأَنَّهُ هَلْ يَسْكُنُ اللهُ حَقّاً مَعَ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟ إِنْ كَانَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ بَلِ السَّمَاوَاتُ الْعُلَى لَا تَسَعُكَ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى هَذَا الْهَيْكَلُ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُ! | ١٨ 18 |
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
| فَأَصْغِ إِلَى ابْتِهَالِ عَبْدِكَ وَإِلَى تَضَرُّعِهِ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، وَاسْتَجِبْ إِلَى اسْتِغَاثَتِي وَالصَّلاةِ الَّتِي يَرْفَعُهَا عَبْدُكَ أَمَامَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Have respect therefore to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to listen to the cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you:
| لِتَظَلَّ عَيْنَاكَ تَرْعَيَانِ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً، هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ عَنْهُ إِنَّكَ تَضَعُ اسْمَكَ فِيهِ، لِتَسْتَمِعَ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ الَّتِي يِتَضَرَّعُ بِها عَبْدُكَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
That your eyes may be open on this house day and night, on the place whereof you have said that you would put your name there; to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.
| وَأَنْصِتْ لاِبْتِهَالاتِ عَبْدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ فِي مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَمَتَى سَمِعْتَ فَاغْفِرْ (إِثْمَنَا) | ٢١ 21 |
Listen therefore to the supplications of your servant, and of your people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear you from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
| إِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَأَوْجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْيَمِينَ لِيُحَلِّفَهُ، فَحَضَرَ لِيَحْلِفَ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِكَ فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid on him to make him swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house;
| فَاسْتَمِعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاعْمَلْ وَاقْضِ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ، إِذْ تَدِينُ الْمُذْنِبَ، فَتُعَاقِبُهُ عَلَى شَرِّهِ وَتُنْصِفُ الْبَارَّ وَتُنْعِمُ عَلَيْهِ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then hear you from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way on his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
| وَإذَا انْهَزَمَ شَعْبُكَ أَمَامَ عَدُوِّهِمْ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطِيئَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِاسْمِكَ وَصَلُّوا مُتَضَرِّعِينَ إِلَيْكَ فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٢٤ 24 |
And if your people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; and shall return and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
| فَاسْتَجِبْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاصْفَحْ عَنْ خَطِيئَةِ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْجِعْهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then hear you from the heavens, 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 أُغْلِقَتْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَانْحَبَسَ الْمَطَرُ لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ قَدْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ مُعْتَرِفاً بِاسْمِكَ وَارْتَدَّ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ لأَنَّكَ أَنْزَلْتَ بِهِ الْبَلاءَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them;
| فَاسْتَجِبْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاصْفَحْ عَنْ خَطِيئَةِ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَلِّمْهُمْ سُبُلَ الْعَيْشِ بِاسْتِقَامَةٍ، وَأَمْطِرْ غَيْثاً عَلَى أَرْضِكَ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا مِيرَاثاً لِشَعْبِكَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Then hear you from heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you have taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
| وَإِنْ أَصَابَتِ الأَرْضَ مَجَاعَةٌ، أَوْ تَفَشَّى فِيهَا وَبَأٌ، أَوِ اعْتَرَتْهَا آفَاتٌ زِرَاعِيَّةٌ أَوْ جَفَافٌ، أَوْ غَزَاهَا الْجَرَادُ وَالْجُنْدُبُ، أَوْ إِذَا حَاصَرَ الشَّعْبَ عَدُوٌّ فِي مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ مُدُنِهِ، أَوْ حَلَّتْ بِهِ كَارِثَةٌ أَوْ مَرَضٌ، | ٢٨ 28 |
If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever sore or whatever sickness there be:
| فَحِينَ يُصَلِّي أَوْ يَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ أَوْ شَعْبُكَ كُلُّهُ مُعْتَرِفاً بِخَطِيئَتِهِ وَبَاسِطاً يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ | ٢٩ 29 |
Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all your people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
| اسْتَجِبْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ، وَاصْفَحْ وَجَازِ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِهِ، لأَنَّكَ تَعْرِفُ قَلْبَهُ، فَأَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الْمُطَّلِعُ عَلَى دَخَائِلِ النَّاسِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
Then hear you from heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you only know the hearts of the children of men: )
| لِكَيْ يَتَّقُوكَ وَيَسْلُكُوا فِي سُبُلِكَ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي يَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا 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.
| وَمَتَى جَاءَ الْغَرِيبُ الَّذِي لَا يَنْتَمِي إِلَى شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَالَّذِي قَدِمَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، وَلأَجْلِ مَا أَجْرَتْهُ يَدُكَ الْقَوِيَّةُ وَذِرَاعُكَ الْمُقْتَدِرَةُ، وَصَلَّى فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٣٢ 32 |
Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of your people Israel, but is come from a far country for your great name’s sake, and your mighty hand, and your stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
| فَاسْتَجِبْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ، وَافْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا يُنَاشِدُكَ بِهِ الْغَرِيبُ لِيُذَاعَ اسْمُكَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، فَيَخَافُوكَ كَمَا يَخَافُكَ شَعْبُكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَلِيُدْرِكُوا أَنَّ اسْمَكَ قَدْ دُعِيَ عَلَى هَذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for; that all people of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
| وَإذَا خَرَجَ شَعْبُكَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَدُوٍّ فِي أَيِّ مَكَانٍ تُرْسِلُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَصَلُّوا إِلَيْكَ مُتَوَجِّهِينَ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَهَا وَالْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ لاِسْمِكَ، | ٣٤ 34 |
If your people go out to war against their enemies by the way that 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;
| فَاسْتَجِبْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ صَلاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ، وَانْصُرْ قَضِيَّتَهُمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Then hear you from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
| وَإذَا أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، إِذْ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا يَأْثَمُ، وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَسْلَمْتَهُمْ لِلْعَدُوِّ، فَسَبَاهُمْ آسِرُوهُمْ إِلَى دِيَارِهِمْ، بَعِيدَةً كَانَتْ أَمْ قَرِيبَةً، | ٣٦ 36 |
If they sin against you, (for there is no man which sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;
| فَإِنْ تَابُوا فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ، وَرَجِعُوا مُتَضَرِّعِينَ إِلَيْكَ قَائِلِينَ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا وَانْحَرَفْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا، | ٣٧ 37 |
Yet if they bethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray to you in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
| وَتَابُوا حَقّاً مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَهُمْ فِي دِيَارِ آسِرِيهِمْ، وَصَلُّوا إِلَيْكَ مُتَوَجِّهِينَ نَحْوَ أَرْضِهِمِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَهَا وَالْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ لاسْمِكَ، | 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 captives, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:
| فَاسْتَجِبْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ، صَلاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ، وَانْصُرْ قَضِيَّتَهُمْ، وَاصْفَحْ عَنْ خَطِيئَةِ شَعْبِكَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people which have sinned against you.
| لِتَكُنْ يَا إِلَهِي عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ وَأُذُنَاكَ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ لِلصَّلاةِ الْمَرْفُوعَةِ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Now, my God, let, I beseech you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
| وَالآنَ، انْهَضْ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ إِلَى مَكَانِ رَاحَتِكَ، أَنْتَ وَالتَّابُوتُ رَمْزُ عِزَّتِكَ. لِيَرْتَدِ، أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ، كَهَنَتُكَ ثَوْبَ خَلاصِكَ، وَلْيَبْتَهِجْ أَتْقِيَاؤُكَ بِالْخَيْرِ. | ٤١ 41 |
Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
| أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ، لَا تَرْفُضِ الْمَلِكَ، وَاذْكُرْ رَحْمَتَكَ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَ بِها دَاوُدَ عَبْدَكَ». | ٤٢ 42 |
O LORD God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of David your servant.
