1 Kings 5
1 Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.
| وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ عَبِيدَهُ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَّهُمْ مَسَحُوهُ مَلِكًا مَكَانَ أَبِيهِ، لِأَنَّ حِيرَامَ كَانَ مُحِبًّا لِدَاوُدَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. | ١ |
2 And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,
| فَأَرْسَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ إِلَى حِيرَامَ يَقُولُ: | ٢ |
3 You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.
| «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ دَاوُدَ أَبِي أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْحُرُوبِ ٱلَّتِي أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ، حَتَّى جَعَلَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ تَحْتَ بَطْنِ قَدَمَيْهِ. | ٣ |
4 But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
| وَٱلْآنَ فَقَدْ أَرَاحَنِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجِهَاتِ فَلَا يُوجَدُ خَصْمٌ وَلَا حَادِثَةُ شَرٍّ. | ٤ |
5 And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
| وَهَأَنَذَا قَائِلٌ عَلَى بِنَاءِ بَيْتٍ لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي كَمَا كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ دَاوُدَ أَبِي قَائِلًا: إِنَّ ٱبْنَكَ ٱلَّذِي أَجْعَلُهُ مَكَانَكَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ لِٱسْمِي. | ٥ |
6 So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
| وَٱلْآنَ فَأْمُرْ أَنْ يَقْطَعُوا لِي أَرْزًا مِنْ لُبْنَانَ، وَيَكُونُ عَبِيدِي مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ، وَأُجْرَةُ عَبِيدِكَ أُعْطِيكَ إِيَّاهَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا تَقُولُ، لِأَنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَنَا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ قَطْعَ ٱلْخَشَبِ مِثْلَ ٱلصِّيْدُونِيِّينَ». | ٦ |
7 And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ حِيرَامُ كَلَامَ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَرِحَ جِدًّا وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَى دَاوُدَ ٱبْنًا حَكِيمًا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ». | ٧ |
8 Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
| وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ قَائِلًا: «قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَا أَرْسَلْتَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ. أَنَا أَفْعَلُ كُلَّ مَسَرَّتِكَ فِي خَشَبِ ٱلْأَرْزِ وَخَشَبِ ٱلسَّرْوِ. | ٨ |
9 My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
| عَبِيدِي يُنْزِلُونَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَأَنَا أَجْعَلُهُ أَرْمَاثًا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي تُعَرِّفُنِي عَنْهُ وَأَنْفُضُهُ هُنَاكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَحْمِلُهُ، وَأَنْتَ تَعْمَلُ مَرْضَاتِي بِإِعْطَائِكَ طَعَامًا لِبَيْتِي». | ٩ |
10 So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;
| فَكَانَ حِيرَامُ يُعْطِي سُلَيْمَانَ خَشَبَ أَرْزٍ وَخَشَبَ سَرْوٍ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَسَرَّتِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.
| وَأَعْطَى سُلَيْمَانُ حِيرَامَ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ كُرِّ حِنْطَةٍ طَعَامًا لِبَيْتِهِ، وَعِشْرِينَ كُرَّ زَيْتِ رَضٍّ. هَكَذَا كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ يُعْطِي حِيرَامَ سَنَةً فَسَنَةً. | ١١ |
12 Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together.
| وَٱلرَّبُّ أَعْطَى سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةً كَمَا كَلَّمَهُ. وَكَانَ صُلْحٌ بَيْنَ حِيرَامَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ، وَقَطَعَا كِلَاهُمَا عَهْدًا. | ١٢ |
13 Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;
| وَسَخَّرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَانَتِ ٱلسُّخَرُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
| فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى لُبْنَانَ عَشْرَةَ آلَافٍ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ بِٱلنَّوْبَةِ. يَكُونُونَ شَهْرًا فِي لُبْنَانَ وَشَهْرَيْنِ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ. وَكَانَ أَدُونِيرَامُ عَلَى ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ. | ١٤ |
15 Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
| وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا يَحْمِلُونَ أَحْمَالًا، وَثَمَانُونَ أَلْفًا يَقْطَعُونَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، | ١٥ |
16 In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.
| مَا عَدَا رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْوُكَلَاءِ لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى ٱلْعَمَلِ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ وَثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ، ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ ٱلْعَمَلَ. | ١٦ |
17 By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَنْ يَقْلَعُوا حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً، حِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً لِتَأْسِيسِ ٱلْبَيْتِ، حِجَارَةً مُرَبَّعَةً. | ١٧ |
18 Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.
| فَنَحَتَهَا بَنَّاؤُو سُلَيْمَانَ، وَبَنَّاؤُو حِيرَامَ وَٱلْجِبْلِيُّونَ، وَهَيَّأُوا ٱلْأَخْشَابَ وَٱلْحِجَارَةَ لِبِنَاءِ ٱلْبَيْتِ. | ١٨ |
