وَمَا إِنْ أَتَمَّ سُلَيْمَانُ صَلاتَهُ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْتَهَمَتِ الْمُحْرَقَةَ وَالذَّبَائِحَ، وَملأَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ الْهَيْكَلَ، ١ 1
Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
وَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنِ الْكَهَنَةُ مِنَ الدُّخُولِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ مَلأَهُ. ٢ 2
And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.
وَشَهِدَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ نُزُولَ النَّارِ وَمَجْدِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى الْهَيْكَلِ، فَخَرُّوا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ سَاجِدِينَ عَلَى بَلاطِ الأَرْضِ الْمُجَزَّعِ، وَحَمَدُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَلأَنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ. ٣ 3
And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ الْمَلِكُ وَسَائِرُ الشَّعْبِ ذَبَائِحَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. ٤ 4
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
فَذَبَحَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْبَقَرِ، وَمِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً مِنَ الْغَنَمِ. وَدَشَّنَ الْمَلِكُ وَجَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ الْهَيْكَلَ. ٥ 5
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
وَوَقَفَ الْكَهَنَةُ فِي الأَمَاكِنِ الْمُخَصَّصَةِ لَهُمْ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ اللّاوِيِّينَ، يِنْفُخُونَ بِالأَبْوَاقِ، بَيْنَمَا شَرَعَ اللّاوِيُّونَ يَعْزِفُونَ عَلَى آلاتِ غِنَاءِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ حِينَ سَبَّحَ الرَّبَّ بِها، مُتَرَنِّمِينَ بِحَمْدِ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ، وَذَلِكَ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنَ الشَّعْبِ كُلِّهِ. ٦ 6
And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endures for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
وَقَدَّسَ سُلَيْمَانُ الْفِنَاءَ الْوَاقِعَ أَمَامَ الْهَيْكَلِ حَيْثُ قَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَشَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِ السَّلامِ، لأَنَّ مَذْبَحَ النُّحَاسِ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ كَانَ أَصْغَرَ مِنْ أَنْ يَسَعَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَالتَّقْدِمَاتِ وَالشَّحْمَ. ٧ 7
Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the food offerings, and the fat.
وَاحْتَفَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِالْعِيدِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ طَوَالَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ مَعَ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَجُمْهُورٍ كَبِيرٍ تَوَافَدَ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي مِصْرَ. ٨ 8
Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
وَاعْتَكَفُوا فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ لِلْعِبَادَةِ بَعْدَ أَنِ احْتَفَلُوا بِتَدْشِينِ الْمَذْبَحِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَبِالْعِيدِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخْرَى. ٩ 9
And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
ثُمَّ صَرَفَ الشَّعْبَ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ، فانْطَلَقُوا بِقُلُوبٍ يَغْمُرُهَا الْفَرَحُ وَالْغِبْطَةُ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ الْخَيْرَاتِ الَّتِي أَبْدَاهَا الرَّبُّ نَحْوَ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِهِ. ١٠ 10
And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
وَهَكَذَا أَكْمَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ إِقَامَةَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَقَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَحَالَفَهُ النَّجَاحُ فِي كُلِّ مَا خَطَّطَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَهُ فِيهِمَا. ١١ 11
Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
وَتَجَلَّى الرَّبُّ لِسُلَيْمَانَ لَيْلاً وَقَالَ لَهُ: «قَدِ اسْتَجَبْتُ صَلاتَكَ، وَاخْتَرْتُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ لِي لِيَكُونَ هَيْكَلاً لِلذَّبَائِحِ. ١٢ 12
And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
فَإِنْ أَغْلَقْتُ السَّمَاءَ فَانْحَبَسَ الْمَطَرُ، وَإِنْ أَمَرْتُ الْجَرَادَ أَنْ يَلْتَهِمَ عُشْبَ الأَرْضِ، وَإِنْ جَعَلْتُ الْوَبَأَ يَتَفَشَّى بَيْنَ شَعْبِي، ١٣ 13
If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
ثُمَّ اتَّضَعَ شَعْبِي الَّذِي دُعِيَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَتَضَرَّعُوا طَالِبِينَ وَجْهِي، وَتَابُوا عَنْ شَرِّهِم، فَإِنَّنِي أَسْتَجِيبُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَأَصْفَحُ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِهِمْ وَأُخْصِبُ أَرْضَهُمْ. ١٤ 14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
أَمَّا الآنَ فَإِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ تَظَلّانِ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ تَرْعَيَانِ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ، وَأُذُنَيَّ تُصْغِيَانِ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ الصَّادِرَةِ مِنْهُ. ١٥ 15
Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place.
لَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ وَقَدَّسْتُهُ حَتَّى أَضَعَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، فَتَكُونُ عَيْنَايَ وَقَلْبِي هُنَاكَ إِلَى دَهْرِ الدُّهُورِ. ١٦ 16
For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
فَإِنْ سَلَكْتَ أَنْتَ أَمَامِي كَمَا سَلَكَ دَاوُدُ أَبُوكَ، وَنَفَّذْتَ كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ وَأَطَعْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي، ١٧ 17
And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and shall observe my statutes and my judgments;
فَإِنَّنِي أُثَبِّتُ عَرْشَكَ كَمَا وَعَدْتُ أَبَاكَ قَائِلاً: لَا يَنْقَرِضُ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ رَجُلٌ يَحْكُمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٨ 18
Then will I establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.
وَلَكِنْ إِنِ انْحَرَفْتُمْ وَنَبَذْتُمْ فَرَائِضِي الَّتِي شَرَّعْتُهَا لَكُمْ، وَضَلَلْتُمْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدْتُمُوهَا وَسَجَدْتُمْ لَهَا، ١٩ 19
But if all of you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
فَإِنَّنِي أَسْتَأْصِلُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِي الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَكُمْ، وَأَنْبِذُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ الَّذِي قَدَّسْتُهُ لاسْمِي، وَأَجْعَلُهُ مَثَلاً وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ. ٢٠ 20
Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
وَيَغْدُو هَذَا الْهَيْكَلُ الَّذِي كَانَ شَامِخاً عِبْرَةً يُثِيرُ عَجَبَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ بِهِ، فَيَتَسَاءَلُ: لِمَاذَا صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ هَكَذَا بِهَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَبِهَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ؟ ٢١ 21
And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passes by it; so that he shall say, Why has the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
فَيَأْتِيهُمُ الْجَوَابُ: لأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمِ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَتَشَبَّثُوا بِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا وَعَبَدُوهَا، لِذَلِكَ جَلَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ هَذَا الْبَلاءِ». ٢٢ 22
And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore has he brought all this evil upon them.
