2 أخبار 7
| وَمَا إِنْ أَتَمَّ سُلَيْمَانُ صَلاتَهُ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ نَارٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْتَهَمَتِ الْمُحْرَقَةَ وَالذَّبَائِحَ، وَملأَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ الْهَيْكَلَ، | ١ 1 |
And when Solomon had made an end of praying, a 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 were not able to 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 all the children of Israel were looking on as the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord [was resting] upon the house; and they kneeled down with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
| ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ الْمَلِكُ وَسَائِرُ الشَّعْبِ ذَبَائِحَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. | ٤ 4 |
And 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 a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and so they dedicated the house of God, the king and all the people.
| 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 were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the instruments of the music of the Lord, which king David had made to give thanks unto the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness, with the song of praise of David in their hand; and the priests blew the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel were standing.
| 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 |
And Solomon hallowed the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-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 |
And Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto the river of Egypt.
| وَاعْتَكَفُوا فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ لِلْعِبَادَةِ بَعْدَ أَنِ احْتَفَلُوا بِتَدْشِينِ الْمَذْبَحِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَبِالْعِيدِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخْرَى. | ٩ 9 |
And they held on the eighth day a solemn assembly; for the dedication of the altar they held 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 dismissed the people unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart because of the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for Israel his people.
| وَهَكَذَا أَكْمَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ إِقَامَةَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَقَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، وَحَالَفَهُ النَّجَاحُ فِي كُلِّ مَا خَطَّطَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَهُ فِيهِمَا. | ١١ 11 |
Thus did Solomon complete the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and [in] all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prospered.
| وَتَجَلَّى الرَّبُّ لِسُلَيْمَانَ لَيْلاً وَقَالَ لَهُ: «قَدِ اسْتَجَبْتُ صَلاتَكَ، وَاخْتَرْتُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ لِي لِيَكُونَ هَيْكَلاً لِلذَّبَائِحِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then appeared the Lord to Solomon during the night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and I have made choice of this place for myself as a 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 the heavens that there be no rain, or if I give a charge to the locusts to devour off the land, or if I send a 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 |
And if my people, over whom my name is called, do then humble themselves, and pray, and seek my presence, and turn away from their evil ways: then will I also hear from heaven, and I 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, my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive unto the prayer on this place.
| لَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ وَقَدَّسْتُهُ حَتَّى أَضَعَ اسْمِي عَلَيْهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، فَتَكُونُ عَيْنَايَ وَقَلْبِي هُنَاكَ إِلَى دَهْرِ الدُّهُورِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
| فَإِنْ سَلَكْتَ أَنْتَ أَمَامِي كَمَا سَلَكَ دَاوُدُ أَبُوكَ، وَنَفَّذْتَ كُلَّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ وَأَطَعْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي، | ١٧ 17 |
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father hath walked, so as to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my ordinances:
| فَإِنَّنِي أُثَبِّتُ عَرْشَكَ كَمَا وَعَدْتُ أَبَاكَ قَائِلاً: لَا يَنْقَرِضُ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ رَجُلٌ يَحْكُمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, just as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall never fail thee 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 ye will indeed turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and will go and serve other gods, and bow down to 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 out of my land which I have given unto them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast away from my sight, and I will render it to be for a proverb and for a by-word among all the people.
| 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 hath been so exalted, shall become an astonishment to every one that passeth by it: so that he will say, Why hath 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 men shall then say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and they took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath he brought upon them all this evil.
