وَمَا إِنْ أَهَلَّ الشَّهْرُ السَّابِعُ (أَيْلُولَ – سِبْتَمْبَر)، وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اسْتَقَرُّوا فِي مُدُنِهِمْ، حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، ١ 1
And the seventh month cometh, and the sons of Israel [are] in the cities, and the people are gathered, as one men, unto 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
And rise doth Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and they build the altar of the God of Israel, to cause to ascend upon it burnt-offerings, 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 establish the altar on its bases, because of the fear upon them of the peoples of the lands, and he causeth burnt-offerings to ascend upon it to Jehovah, burnt-offerings for the morning and for the evening.
وَاحْتَفَلُوا بِعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ، مُقَرِّبِينَ مُحْرَقَاتِ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ وَفْقاً لِلْعَدَدِ الْمَطْلُوبِ. ٤ 4
And they make the feast of the booths as it is written, and the burnt-offering of the day daily in number according to the ordinance, the matter of a day in its day;
ثُمَّ وَاظَبُوا عَلَى إِصْعَادِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ، وَمُحْرَقَاتِ أَوَائِلِ الشُّهُورِ، وَمَوَاسِمِ أَعْيَادِ الرَّبِّ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، كَمَا أَتَوْا بِالتَّقْدِمَاتِ الطَّوْعِيَّةِ لِلرَّبِّ. ٥ 5
and after this a continual burnt-offering, and for new moons, and for all appointed seasons of Jehovah that are sanctified; and for every one who is willingly offering a willing-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 have begun to cause burnt-offerings to ascend to Jehovah, and the temple of Jehovah hath not been founded,
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 give money to hewers and to artificers, and food, and drink, and oil to Zidonians and to Tyrians, to bring in cedar-trees from Lebanon unto the sea of Joppa, according to the permission of Cyrus king of Persia concerning 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 in unto the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all those coming from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appoint the Levites from a son of twenty years and upward, to overlook 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
And Jeshua standeth, [and] his sons, and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah together, to overlook those doing the work in the house of God; the sons of Henadad, [and] 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 those building have founded the temple of Jehovah, and they appoint the priests, clothed, with trumpets, and the Levites, sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, by means of [the instruments 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 respond in praising and in giving thanks to Jehovah, for good, for to the age His kindness [is] over Israel, and all the people have shouted — a great shout — in giving praise to Jehovah, because the house of Jehovah hath been founded.
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
And many of the priests, and the Levites, and the heads of the fathers, the aged men who had seen the first house — in this house being founded before their eyes — are weeping with a loud voice, and many with a shout, in joy, lifting up the voice;
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 are not discerning the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people are shouting — a great shout — and the noise hath been heard unto a distance.
