عَزْرا 3
| وَمَا إِنْ أَهَلَّ الشَّهْرُ السَّابِعُ (أَيْلُولَ – سِبْتَمْبَر)، وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اسْتَقَرُّوا فِي مُدُنِهِمْ، حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١ 1 |
And the seventh month came on, and the children of Israel [were] in their cities, and the people assembled as one man at 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 stood up Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer upon it whole-burnt-offerings, according to the things that were 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 up the altar on its place, for there was a terror upon them because of the people of the lands: and the whole-burnt-offerings was offered up upon it to the Lord 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, according to that which was written, and [offered] whole-burnt-offerings daily in number according to the ordinance, the exact daily rate.
| ثُمَّ وَاظَبُوا عَلَى إِصْعَادِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ، وَمُحْرَقَاتِ أَوَائِلِ الشُّهُورِ، وَمَوَاسِمِ أَعْيَادِ الرَّبِّ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، كَمَا أَتَوْا بِالتَّقْدِمَاتِ الطَّوْعِيَّةِ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
And after this the perpetual whole-burnt-offering, and [offering] for the season of new moon, and for all the hallowed feasts to the Lord, and for every one that offered a free-will-offering to the Lord.
| وَشَرَعُوا مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ يُقَرِّبُونَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعِيدَ تَأْسِيسُ الْهَيْكَلِ بَعْدُ. | ٦ 6 |
On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord: but the foundation of the house of the Lord was not 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 |
And they gave money to the stone-hewers and carpenters, and meat and drink, and oil, to the Sidonians, and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of the Persians to them.
| 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 |
And in the second year of their coming to the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zorobabel the [son] of Salathiel, and Jesus the [son] of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, over the workmen in the house of the Lord.
| 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 |
And Jesus and his sons and his brethren stood, Cadmiel and his sons the sons of Juda, over them that wrought the works in the house of God: the sons of Enadad, their sons and their brethren 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 they laid a foundation for building the house of the Lord: and the priests in their robes stood with trumpets and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to 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 answered [each other] with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, [saying], For [it is] good, for his mercy to Israel [endures] for ever. And all the people shouted with a loud voice to praise the Lord at the laying the foundation of the house of the Lord.
| 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 the Levites, and the elder men, heads of families, who had seen the former house on its foundation, and [who saw] this house with their eyes, wept with a loud voice: but the multitude shouted with joy to raise a song.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الشَّعْبُ أَنْ يُمَيِّزَ هُتَافَ الْفَرَحِ مِنْ صَوْتِ الْبُكَاءِ، لأَنَّ هُتَافَ الشَّعْبِ كَانَ مُدَوِّياً، حَتَّى كَانَ يُسْمَعُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the people did not distinguish the voice of the glad shout from the voice of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud voice, and the voice was heard even from afar off.
