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 Artachshasta 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, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God on him.
| وَرَجَعَ مَعَهُ بَعْضُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَعْضُ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَالْمُغَنِّينَ وَحُرَّاسِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخُدَّامِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ مِنْ وِلايَةِ الْمَلِكِ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا، | ٧ 7 |
There went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artachshasta the king.
| فَوَصَلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ (آب – أُغُسْطُسَ) مِنَ السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ لِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ. | ٨ 8 |
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 on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was on him.
| لأَنَّ عِزْرَا أَخْلَصَ نِيَّتَهُ لِطَلَبِ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمُمَارَسَتِهَا، وَتَعْلِيمِ الشَّعْبِ فَرَائِضَهَا وَأَحْكَامَهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
| 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 Artachshasta gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the 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 |
Artachshasta, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth.
| 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 those of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
| فَأَنْتَ مُرْسَلٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَلِكِ وَمُسْتَشَارِيهِ السَّبْعَةِ لِلاطِّلاعِ عَلَى مَدَى تَطْبِيقِ أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ لِشَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِكَ الَّتِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ، | ١٤ 14 |
Because you are sent of the king and his seven counselors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your 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 counselors have freely offered to 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 you shall 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 |
therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on 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 |
Whatever shall seem good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that after the will of your God.
| كَذَلِكَ سَلِّمْ أَمَامَ إِلَهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَا أُعْطِيتَ مِنْ آنِيَةٍ لِتُسْتَخْدَمَ فِي هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِكَ، | ١٩ 19 |
The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
| ثُمَّ خُذْ مِنْ بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمَلِكِ مَا تَرَى الْهَيْكَلَ فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Whatever more shall be needful for the house of your God, which you shall 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 |
I, even I Artachshasta the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
| 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 |
to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred measures of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one 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 |
Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly 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 inform you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, on 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 |
You, Ezra, after the wisdom of your God who is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn't know them.
| وَلْيُحْكَمْ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ لَا يُطَبِّقُ شَرِيعَةَ إِلَهِكَ وَشَرِيعَةَ الْمَلِكِ بِالْمَوْتِ أَوِ النَّفْيِ أَوْ بِغَرَامَةٍ مَالِيَّةٍ أَوْ بَالسَّجْنِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Whoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it be to 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, the God of our fathers, who has 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 has extended loving kindness to me before the king, and his counselors, and before all the king's powerful officers. I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God on me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
