عَزْرا 3
| وَمَا إِنْ أَهَلَّ الشَّهْرُ السَّابِعُ (أَيْلُولَ – سِبْتَمْبَر)، وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اسْتَقَرُّوا فِي مُدُنِهِمْ، حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١ 1 |
And when the seventh month came, and the sons of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
| فَهَبَّ يَشُوعُ بْنُ يُوصَادَاقَ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُ الْكَهَنَةُ، وَزَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُ، وَبَنَوْا مَذْبَحَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيُقَرِّبُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى رَجُلِ اللهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, stood up and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
| وَعَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِمَّا كَانَ يَعْتَرِيهِمْ مِنْ خَوْفٍ مِنْ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ شَيَّدُوا الْمَذْبَحَ فِي مَوْقِعِهِ، وَأَصْعَدُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ صَبَاحاً وَمَسَاءً، | ٣ 3 |
And they set the altar upon its base, for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the countries. And they offered burnt offerings on it to Jehovah, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
| وَاحْتَفَلُوا بِعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ، مُقَرِّبِينَ مُحْرَقَاتِ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ وَفْقاً لِلْعَدَدِ الْمَطْلُوبِ. | ٤ 4 |
And they kept the feast of tabernacles as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required.
| ثُمَّ وَاظَبُوا عَلَى إِصْعَادِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ، وَمُحْرَقَاتِ أَوَائِلِ الشُّهُورِ، وَمَوَاسِمِ أَعْيَادِ الرَّبِّ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، كَمَا أَتَوْا بِالتَّقْدِمَاتِ الطَّوْعِيَّةِ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
And afterward the continual burnt offering, and the offerings of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to Jehovah.
| وَشَرَعُوا مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ يُقَرِّبُونَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعِيدَ تَأْسِيسُ الْهَيْكَلِ بَعْدُ. | ٦ 6 |
From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to Jehovah. But the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not yet laid.
| ثُمَّ تَبَرَّعُوا بِفِضَّةٍ لاِسْتِئْجَارِ نَحَّاتِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ، وَقَدَّمُوا طَعَاماً وَمَشْرُوبَاتٍ وَزَيْتاً لِلصَّيْدُونِيِّينَ وَالصُّورِيِّينَ، لِيَنْقُلُوا لَهُمْ خَشَبَ أَرْزٍ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ إِلَى سَاحِلِ يَافَا، بِتَرْخِيصٍ مِنْ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ. | ٧ 7 |
Also they gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters, and food, and drink, and oil, to those of Sidon, and to those of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
| وَفِي الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ رُجُوعِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ، ابْتَدَأَ زَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ ويَشُوعُ بْنُ يُوصَادَاقَ، وَبَقِيَّةُ أَقْرِبَائِهِمْ مِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ، وَسَائِرُ الْقَادِمِينَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، بِالْعَمَلِ فِي بِنَاءِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فَأَقَامُوا اللّاوِيِّينَ، الْبَالِغِينَ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ، لِلإِشْرَافِ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٨ 8 |
Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who came out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began. And they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Jehovah.
| فَأَشْرَفَ يَشُوعُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَإخْوَتُهُ وَقَدْمِيئِيلُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَهُوذَا، وَكَذَلِكَ أَبْنَاءُ عَشِيرَةِ حِينَادَادَ مَعَ بَنِيهِمْ وَأَقْرِبَائِهِمْ مِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ، عَلَى الْعُمَّالِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٩ 9 |
Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, stood together to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
| وَلَمَّا أَرْسَى الْبَنَّاؤونَ أَسَاسَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، أَخَذَ الْكَهَنَةُ أَمَاكِنَهُمْ، بَعْدَ أَنِ ارْتَدَوْا مَلابِسَهُمُ الرَّسْمِيَّةَ، وَحَمَلُوا الأَبْوَاقَ، وَكَذَلِكَ وَقَفَ اللّاوِيُّونَ مِنْ بَنِي آسَافَ حَامِلِينَ الصُّنُوجَ لِتَسْبِيحِ الرَّبِّ، وَفْقاً لِمَا رَتَّبَهُ دَاوُدُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ١٠ 10 |
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, after the order of David king of Israel.
| وَتَرَنَّمُوا بِالتَّسْبِيحِ وَالْحَمْدِ لِلرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ وَلأَنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَهَتَفَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ هُتَافاً عَظِيماً، تَسْبِيحاً لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِرْسَاءِ أَسَاسِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ١١ 11 |
And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks to Jehovah, saying, For he is good, for his loving kindness is forever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.
| وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَكِبَارِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ، الَّذِينَ شَاهَدُوا الْهَيْكَلَ الأَوَّلَ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ سُلَيْمَانُ، رَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْبُكَاءِ عِنْدَ إِرْسَاءِ أَسَاسِ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ بَيْنَمَا رَاحَ بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعْبِ يُطْلِقُونَ هُتَافَاتِ الْبَهْجَةِ وَالْفَرَحِ | ١٢ 12 |
But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice, and many shouted aloud for joy.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الشَّعْبُ أَنْ يُمَيِّزَ هُتَافَ الْفَرَحِ مِنْ صَوْتِ الْبُكَاءِ، لأَنَّ هُتَافَ الشَّعْبِ كَانَ مُدَوِّياً، حَتَّى كَانَ يُسْمَعُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
