1 Kings 9

1 And it came to pass when Solomon had completed the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

١ وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَكْمَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِنَاءَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَكُلَّ مَرْغُوبِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِي سُرَّ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ،

2 that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

٢ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ تَرَاءَى لِسُلَيْمَانَ ثَانِيَةً كَمَا تَرَاءَى لَهُ فِي جِبْعُونَ.

3 And Jehovah said to him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication which thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

٣ وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَلَاتَكَ وَتَضَرُّعَكَ ٱلَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتَ بِهِ أَمَامِي. قَدَّسْتُ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتَهُ لِأَجْلِ وَضْعِ ٱسْمِي فِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَتَكُونُ عَيْنَايَ وَقَلْبِي هُنَاكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

4 And [as for] thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;

٤ وَأَنْتَ إِنْ سَلَكْتَ أَمَامِي كَمَا سَلَكَ دَاوُدُ أَبُوكَ بِسَلَامَةِ قَلْبٍ وَٱسْتِقَامَةٍ، وَعَمِلْتَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ وَحَفِظْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي،

5 then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

٥ فَإِنِّي أُقِيمُ كُرْسِيَّ مُلْكِكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ كَمَا كَلَّمْتُ دَاوُدَ أَبَاكَ قَائِلًا: لَا يُعْدَمُ لَكَ رَجُلٌ عَنْ كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

6 [But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments, my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them;

٦ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَنْقَلِبُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِي، وَلَا تَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَايَ، فَرَائِضِيَ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا أَمَامَكُمْ، بَلْ تَذْهَبُونَ وَتَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَتَسْجُدُونَ لَهَا،

7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed to my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by word among all peoples;

٧ فَإِنِّي أَقْطَعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي قَدَّسْتُهُ لِٱسْمِي أَنْفِيهِ مِنْ أَمَامِي، وَيَكُونُ إِسْرَائِيلُ مَثَلًا وَهُزْأَةً فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ،

8 and this house, [which] is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished at, and shall hiss, and they shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house?

٨ وَهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ يَكُونُ عِبْرَةً. كُلُّ مَنْ يَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ يَتَعَجَّبُ وَيَصْفِرُ، وَيَقُولُونَ: لِمَاذَا عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَكَذَا لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِهَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ؟

9 And they shall say, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have attached themselves to other gods, and have worshipped them and served them; therefore has Jehovah brought upon them all this evil.

٩ فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَ آبَاءَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا وَعَبَدُوهَا، لِذَلِكَ جَلَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ».

10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king's house,

١٠ وَبَعْدَ نِهَايَةِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً بَعْدَمَا بَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ ٱلْبَيْتَيْنِ، بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

11 Hiram the king of Tyre having furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and cypress-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, — that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

١١ وَكَانَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ قَدْ سَاعَفَ سُلَيْمَانَ بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ وَخَشَبِ سَرْوٍ وَذَهَبٍ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَسَرَّتِهِ. أَعْطَى حِينَئِذٍ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ حِيرَامَ عِشْرِينَ مَدِينَةً فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَلِيلِ.

12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.

١٢ فَخَرَجَ حِيرَامُ مِنْ صُورَ لِيَرَى ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا سُلَيْمَانُ، فَلَمْ تَحْسُنْ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ.

13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.

١٣ فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَنِي يَا أَخِي؟» وَدَعَاهَا «أَرْضَ كَابُولَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

14 And Hiram had sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.

١٤ وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ لِلْمَلِكِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ.

15 And this is the account of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

١٥ وَهَذَا هُوَ سَبَبُ ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِهِ وَٱلْقَلْعَةِ وَسُورِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصُورَ وَمَجِدُّو وَجَازَرَ.

16 — Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer, and burned it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

١٦ صَعِدَ فِرْعَوْنُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ وَأَخَذَ جَازَرَ وَأَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ، وَقَتَلَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا مَهْرًا لِٱبْنَتِهِ ٱمْرَأَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

17 — And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,

١٧ وَبَنَى سُلَيْمَانُ جَازَرَ وَبَيْتَ حُورُونَ ٱلسُّفْلَى

18 and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

١٨ وَبَعْلَةَ وَتَدْمُرَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ،

19 and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and cities for chariots, and cities for the horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

١٩ وَجَمِيعَ مُدُنِ ٱلْمَخَازِنِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ لِسُلَيْمَانَ، وَمُدُنَ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَمُدُنَ ٱلْفُرْسَانِ، وَمَرْغُوبَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِي رَغِبَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَفِي لُبْنَانَ وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ سَلْطَنَتِهِ.

20 All the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel,

٢٠ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْبَاقِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

21 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon them did Solomon impose a tribute of bondservice until this day.

٢١ أَبْنَاؤُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا بَعْدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُحَرِّمُوهُمْ، جَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلَيْمَانُ تَسْخِيرَ عَبِيدٍ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen; but they were men of war, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his captains, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.

٢٢ وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْهُمْ عَبِيدًا لِأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ ٱلْقِتَالِ وَخُدَّامُهُ وَأُمَرَاؤُهُ وَثَوَالِثُهُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَفُرْسَانُهُ.

23 These were the chief superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people that wrought in the work.

٢٣ هَؤُلَاءِ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلْمُوَكَّلِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ خَمْسُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسُونَ، ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ ٱلْعَمَلَ.

24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which he had built for her: then he built Millo.

٢٤ وَلَكِنَّ بِنْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ صَعِدَتْ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ لَهَا، حِينَئِذٍ بَنَى ٱلْقَلْعَةَ.

25 And three times in the year did Solomon offer up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar that he had built to Jehovah, and he burned incense upon that which was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.

٢٥ وَكَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ يُصْعِدُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ لِلرَّبِّ، وَكَانَ يُوقِدُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَأَكْمَلَ ٱلْبَيْتَ.

26 And king Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

٢٦ وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ سُفُنًا فِي عِصْيُونَ جَابَرَ ٱلَّتِي بِجَانِبِ أَيْلَةَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ فِي أَرْضِ أَدُومَ.

27 And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon;

٢٧ فَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلنَّوَاتِيَّ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ بِٱلْبَحْرِ مَعَ عَبِيدِ سُلَيْمَانَ،

28 and they went to Ophir, and fetched thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

٢٨ فَأَتَوْا إِلَى أُوفِيرَ، وَأَخَذُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ ذَهَبًا أَرْبَعَ مِئَةِ وَزْنَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةً، وَأَتَوْا بِهَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ.
