عَزْرا 6
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَصْدَرَ دَارِيُوسُ الْمَلِكُ مَرْسُوماً بِالْبَحْثِ فِي دَارِ الْمَحْفُوظَاتِ فِي بَابِلَ، حَيْثُ تُحْفَظُ الْوَثَائِقُ، | ١ 1 |
Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
| فَعَثَرُوا فِي قَصْرِ أَحْمَثَا، عَاصِمَةِ إِقْلِيمِ مَادِي، عَلَى مَرْسُومٍ هَذَا نَصُّهُ: «مُذَكِّرَةٌ. | ٢ 2 |
And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a scroll, and in it was a record thus written:
| أَصْدَرَ الْمَلِكُ كُورَشُ فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِحُكْمِهِ مَرْسُوماً بِشَأْنِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، جَاءَ فِيهِ: لِيُعَدْ بِنَاءُ الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي يُقَرِّبُونَ فِيهِ الذَّبَائِحَ، وَلْتُرْسَ أُسُسُهُ بِحَيْثُ يَكُونُ ارْتِفَاعُهُ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً) وَعَرْضُهُ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعاً | ٣ 3 |
In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations of it be strongly laid; the height of it sixty cubits, and the breadth of it sixty cubits;
| عَلَى أَنْ يَتَكَوَّنَ مِنْ ثَلاثَةِ صُفُوفٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَصَفٍّ رَابِعٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ جَدِيدٍ. وَتَتَكَفَّلُ خَزِينَةُ الْمَلِكِ بِنَفَقَةِ الْبِنَاءِ. | ٤ 4 |
With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house:
| كَمَا يَتَحَتَّمُ رَدُّ آنِيَةِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ وَالْفِضِّيَّةِ الَّتِي غَنِمَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَقَلَهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ، إِلَى مَوْضِعِهَا فِي هَيْكَلِ اللهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٥ 5 |
And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and place them in the house of God.
| وَالآنَ يَا تَتْنَايُ وَالِي عَبْرِ النَّهْرِ وَشَتَرْبُوزْنَايُ وَسَائِرَ رِفَاقِكُمَا الأَفَرْسَكِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي عَبْرِ النَّهْرِ: ابْتَعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٦ 6 |
Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, keep away from there:
| لَا تَتَدَخَّلُوا فِي سَيْرِ عَمَلِ بِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ هَذَا؛ وَلْيُتَابِعْ وَالِي الْيَهُودِ وَشُيُوخُهُمْ بِنَاءَهُ فِي ذَاتِ مَوْقِعِهِ السَّابِقِ. | ٧ 7 |
Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
| وَقَدْ صَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ بِمَا تَصْنَعُونَ مَعَ شُيُوخِ الْيَهُودِ هَؤُلاءِ بِصَدَدِ بِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ: عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَدْفَعُوا عَاجِلاً لِهَؤُلاءِ نَفَقَاتِ الْبِنَاءِ مِنْ مَالِ الْمَلِكِ مِنَ الْجِزْيَةِ الَّتِي تُجْبَى مِنْ عَبْرِ النَّهْرِ، لِئَلّا يَتَعَطَّلُوا عَنِ الْعَمَلِ. | ٨ 8 |
Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, expenses be given immediately to these men, that they be not hindered.
| وَكَذَلِكَ مَا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الثِّيرَانِ وَالْكِبَاشِ وَالْخِرَافِ لِتَكُونَ قَرَابِينَ لإِلَهِ السَّمَاءِ. وَقَدِّمُوا لَهُمْ حِنْطَةً وَمِلْحاً وَخَمْراً وَزَيْتاً بِمُوْجِبِ طَلَبِ كَهَنَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ مُمَاطَلَةٍ، | ٩ 9 |
And that which they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given to them day by day without fail:
| لِيُوَاظِبُوا عَلَى تَقْرِيبِ ذَبَائِحِ سُرُورٍ لإِلَهِ السَّمَاءِ، وَيُثَابِرُوا عَلَى الصَّلاةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ حَيَاةِ الْمَلِكِ وَأَبْنَائِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
| وَقَدْ أَمَرْتُ أَنَّ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ يُغَيِّرُ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَرْسُومِ تُسْحَبُ خَشَبَةٌ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ تَصْلِبُونَهُ عَلَيْهَا مُعَلَّقاً، وَيَتَحَوَّلُ بَيْتُهُ إِلَى كَوْمَةٍ مِنَ الأَطْلالِ جَزَاءَ جَرِيمَتِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
| وَلْيُهْلِكِ اللهُ، الَّذِي وَضَعَ اسْمَهُ هُنَاكَ، كُلَّ مَلِكٍ أَوْ شَعْبٍ يَسْعَى لِتَغْيِيرِ هَذَا الْمَرْسُومِ، أَوْ لِهَدْمِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ الَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. أَنَا دَارِيُوسُ قَدْ أَمَرْتُ فَلْيُجْرَ تَنْفِيذُ هَذَا الْمَرْسُومِ عَلَى الْفَوْرِ». | ١٢ 12 |
And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall try to alter the decree and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَسْرَعَ تَتْنَايُ وَالِي عَبْرِ النَّهْرِ، وَشَتَرْبُوزْنَايُ وَرِفَاقُهُمَا بِتَنْفِيذِ أَمْرِ الْمَلِكِ دَارِيُوسَ بِدِقَّةٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
| وَهَكَذَا تَابَعَ شُيُوخُ الْيَهُودِ الْبِنَاءَ بِنَجَاحٍ، تَتْمِيماً لِنُبُوءَةِ حَجَّيِ النَّبِيِّ وَزَكَرِيَّا بْنِ عِدُّو، فَاسْتَكْمَلُوا الْبِنَاءَ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَمْرِ كُورَشَ وَدَارِيُوسَ وَأَرْتَحْشَشْتَا مُلُوكِ فَارِسَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
| وَتَمَّ بِنَاءُ الْهَيْكَلِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ شَهْرِ آذَارَ، فِي السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ دَارِيُوسَ الْمَلِكِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
| وَدَشَّنَ كَهَنَةُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاللاوِيُّونَ وَبَقِيَّةُ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ الْعَائِدِينَ هَيْكَلَ اللهِ بِفَرَحٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,
| وَقَرَّبُوا احْتِفَالاً بِتَدْشِينِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ: مِئَةَ ثَوْرٍ وَمِئَتَيْ كَبْشٍ وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ خَرُوفٍ؛ وَاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تَيْسَ مِعْزَى، لِتَكُونَ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيئَةٍ عَنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بِحَسَبِ عَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِهِمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
| وَتَوَزَّعَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ حَسَبَ فِرَقِهِمِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ لِيَقُومُوا بِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، كَمَا هُوَ مَنْصُوصٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى. | ١٨ 18 |
And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, who is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
| وَاحْتَفَلَ الْعَائِدُونَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ بِالْفِصْحِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ، | ١٩ 19 |
And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
| إِذْ كَانَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ قَدْ تَطَهَّرُوا جَمِيعاً، فَذَبَحُوا حُمْلانَ الْفِصْحِ لِجَمِيعِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ الْعَائِدِينَ وَلإِخْوَتِهِمِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَلأَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
| وَأَكَلَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الرَّاجِعُونَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ الْفِصْحَ، مَعَ سَائِرِ الَّذِينَ انْفَصَلُوا عَنْ مُمَارَسَةِ رَجَاسَاتِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ. وَجَاءُوا لِيَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the children of Israel, who had returned from captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, ate,
| وَاحْتَفَلُوا بِعِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ بِفَرَحٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ مَلأَهُمْ بِالْغِبْطَةِ، إِذْ جَعَلَ قَلْبَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ يَمِيلُ نَحْوَهُمْ، فَشَدَّ أَزْرَهُمْ لِمُتَابَعَةِ الْعَمَلِ فِي بِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
