عَزْرا 7
| وَبَعْدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، رَجَعَ مِنْ بَابِلَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ عِزْرَا بْنُ سَرَايَا بْنِ عَزَرْيَا بْنِ حِلْقِيَّا | ١ 1 |
Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
| بْنِ شَلُّومَ بْنِ صَادُوقَ بْنِ أَخِيطُوبَ، | ٢ 2 |
The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
| بْنِ أَمَرْيَا بْنِ عَزَرْيَا بْنِ مَرَايُوثَ، | ٣ 3 |
The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
| بْنِ زَرَحْيَا بْنِ عُزِّي بْنِ بُقِّي، | ٤ 4 |
The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
| بْنِ أَبِيشُوعَ بْنِ فِينْحَاسَ بْنِ أَلْعَازَارَ بْنِ هرُونَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ، | ٥ 5 |
The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:
| وَكَانَ عِزْرَا كَاتِباً مَاهِراً فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى الَّتِي أَعْلَنَهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ؛ وَقَدْ مَنَحَهُ الْمَلِكُ كُلَّ سُؤْلِهِ بِفَضْلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he [was] a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
| وَرَجَعَ مَعَهُ بَعْضُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَعْضُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَالْمُغَنِّينَ وَحُرَّاسِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخُدَّامِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ مِنْ وِلايَةِ الْمَلِكِ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا، | ٧ 7 |
And there went up [some] of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
| فَوَصَلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ (آب – أُغُسْطُسَ) مِنَ السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ. | ٨ 8 |
And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which [was] in the seventh year of the king.
| إِذْ بَدَأَ رِحْلَتَهُ مِنْ بَابِلَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (آذَارَ – مَارِسَ)، وَوَصَلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ، بِفَضْلِ يَدِ اللهِ الصَّالِحَةِ الَّتِي رَعَتْهُ، | ٩ 9 |
For upon the first [day] of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first [day] of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
| لأَنَّ عِزْرَا أَخْلَصَ نِيَّتَهُ لِطَلَبِ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمُمَارَسَتِهَا، وَتَعْلِيمِ الشَّعْبِ فَرَائِضَهَا وَأَحْكَامَهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do [it], and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
| وَهَذَا نَصُّ الرِّسَالَةِ الَّتِي سَلَّمَهَا الْمَلِكُ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا لِعِزْرَا الْكَاهِنِ الْكَاتِبِ، الْعَالِمِ بِكَلامِ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ وَفَرَائِضِهِ الَّتِي أَبْلَغَهَا لإِسْرَائِيلَ: | ١١ 11 |
Now this [is] the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, [even] a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel.
| «مِنْ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا مَلِكِ الْمُلُوكِ إِلَى عِزْرَا الْكَاهِنِ كَاتِبِ شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِ السَّمَاءِ، سَلامٌ، وَبَعْدُ. | ١٢ 12 |
Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect [peace], and at such a time.
| لَقَدْ صَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ بِالسَّمَاحِ لِكُلِّ مَنْ أَرَادَ فِي مَمْلَكَتِي مِنْ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَهَنَتِهِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ مَعَكَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٣ 13 |
I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and [of] his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.
| فَأَنْتَ مُرْسَلٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَلِكِ وَمُسْتَشَارِيهِ السَّبْعَةِ لِلاطِّلاعِ عَلَى مَدَى تَطْبِيقِ أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ لِشَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِكَ الَّتِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ، | ١٤ 14 |
Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which [is] in thine hand;
| وَلِحَمْلِ مَا يَتَبَرَّعُ بِهِ الْمَلِكُ وَمُسْتَشَارُوهُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ لإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي مَسْكَنُهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation [is] in Jerusalem,
| فَضْلاً عَمَّا تَحْصُلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ مِنْ إِقْلِيمِ بَابِلَ، وَمَا تَجْمَعُهُ مِنْ تَبَرُّعَاتِ الشَّعْبِ وَالْكَهَنَةِ لِهَيْكَلِ إِلَهِهِمْ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٦ 16 |
And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which [is] in Jerusalem:
| لِتَجِدَّ فِي شِرَاءِ ثِيرَانٍ وَكِبَاشٍ وَخِرَافٍ مَعَ تَقْدِمَاتِهَا وَسَكَائِبِ خَمْرِهَا بِهَذِهِ الْفِضَّةِ، لِتُقَرِّبَهَا عَلَى مَذْبَحِ هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١٧ 17 |
That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which [is] in Jerusalem.
| أَمَّا مَا يَتَبَقَّى مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ، فَتَتَصَرَّفُ فِيهِ أَنْتَ وَسَائِرُ الْكَهَنَةِ حَسَبَ مَا تَرَاهُ بِمُقْتَضَى إِرَادَةِ إِلَهِكُمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God.
| كَذَلِكَ سَلِّمْ أَمَامَ إِلَهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَا أُعْطِيتَ مِنْ آنِيَةٍ لِتُسْتَخْدَمَ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِكَ، | ١٩ 19 |
The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, [those] deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
| ثُمَّ خُذْ مِنْ بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمَلِكِ مَا تَرَى الْهَيْكَلَ فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow [it] out of the king’s treasure house.
| وَقَدْ أَصْدَرْتُ أَمْراً، أَنَا أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا الْمَلِكُ، إِلَى جَمِيعِ أُمَنَاءِ أَمْوَالِ الْمَلِكِ فِي عَبْرِ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ أَنْ يُلَبُّوا عَلَى وَجْهِ السُّرْعَةِ كُلَّ مَطَالِبِ عِزْرَا الْكَاهِنِ كَاتِبِ شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِ السَّمَاءِ، | ٢١ 21 |
And I, [even] I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which [are] beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
| إِلَى مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَمِئَةِ كُرٍّ مِنَ الْقَمْحِ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ لِتْرٍ) وَمِئَةِ بَثٍّ مِنَ النَّبِيذِ (نَحْوَ أَلْفَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ لِتْرٍ) وَمِئَةِ بَثٍّ مِنَ الزَّيْتِ، وَمِنَ الْمِلْحِ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَدٍّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing [how much].
| وَلْيُنَفَّذْ بِأَسْرَعِ وَقْتٍ كُلُّ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ إِلَهُ السَّمَاءِ بِشَأْنِ هَيْكَلِهِ، لأَنَّهُ لِمَاذَا يَحُلُّ غَضَبُهُ عَلَى دِيَارِ الْمَلِكِ وَأَبْنَائِهِ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
| نُفِيدُكُمْ أَنَّ جَمِيعَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَالْمُغَنِّينَ وَحُرَّاسِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخُدَّامِهِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ فِيهِ، مُعْفَوْنَ مِنْ أَيَّةِ جِزْيَةٍ أَوْ خَرَاجٍ أَو خَفَارَةٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عِزْرَا فَبِمُقْتَضَى مَا تَتَمَتَّعُ بِهِ مِنْ حِكْمَةِ إِلَهِكَ، عَيِّنْ حُكَّاماً وَقُضَاةً مِنَ الْعَارِفِينَ بِشَرَائِعِ إِلَهِكَ، يَقْضُونَ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي عَبْرِ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ، وَلْيُعَلِّمُوا الْجَاهِلِينَ بِها. | ٢٥ 25 |
And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that [is] in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that [are] beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know [them] not.
| وَلْيُحْكَمْ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ لَا يُطَبِّقُ شَرِيعَةَ إِلَهِكَ وَشَرِيعَةَ الْمَلِكِ بِالْمَوْتِ أَوِ النَّفْيِ أَوْ بِغَرَامَةٍ مَالِيَّةٍ أَوْ بَالسَّجْنِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether [it be] unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
| فَقَالَ عِزْرَا: «مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِنَا الَّذِي وَضَعَ مِثْلَ هَذَا فِي قَلْبِ الْمَلِكِ لِتَكْرِيمِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ٢٧ 27 |
Blessed [be] the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put [such a thing] as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which [is] in Jerusalem:
| وَقَدْ ظَلَّلَنِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ وَمُسْتَشَارِيهِ، وَأَمَامَ جَمِيعِ قَادَتِهِ الْمُقْتَدِرِينَ؛ وَبِفَضْلِ يَدِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي رَعَتْنِي تَشَدَّدْتُ وَجَمَعْتُ بَعْضَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَرْجِعُوا مَعِي». | ٢٨ 28 |
And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God [was] upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
