< 1 Kings 1 >

1 Now king David was old, and advanced in years: and when he was covered with clothes, he was not warm.
وَشَاخَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ. تَقَدَّمَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. وَكَانُوا يُدَثِّرُونَهُ بِٱلثِّيَابِ فَلَمْ يَدْفَأْ.١
2 His servants therefore said to him: Let us seek for our lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom, and warm our lord the king.
فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «لِيُفَتِّشُوا لِسَيِّدِنَا ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى فَتَاةٍ عَذْرَاءَ، فَلْتَقِفْ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلْتَكُنْ لَهُ حَاضِنَةً وَلْتَضْطَجِعْ فِي حِضْنِكَ فَيَدْفَأَ سَيِّدُنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ».٢
3 So they sought a beautiful young woman in all the coasts of Israel, and they found Abisag a Sunamitess, and brought her to the king.
فَفَتَّشُوا عَلَى فَتَاةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَوَجَدُوا أَبِيشَجَ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةَ، فَجَاءُوا بِهَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ.٣
4 And the damsel was exceeding beautiful, and she slept with the king: and served him, but the king did not know her.
وَكَانَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ جَمِيلَةً جِدًّا، فَكَانَتْ حَاضِنَةَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَكَانَتْ تَخْدِمُهُ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا.٤
5 And Adonias the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying: I will be king. And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَدُونِيَّا ٱبْنَ حَجِّيثَ تَرَفَّعَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا أَمْلِكُ». وَعَدَّ لِنَفْسِهِ عَجَلَاتٍ وَفُرْسَانًا وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَجْرُونَ أَمَامَهُ.٥
6 Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom.
وَلَمْ يُغْضِبْهُ أَبُوهُ قَطُّ قَائِلًا: «لِمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ هَكَذَا؟» وَهُوَ أَيْضًا جَمِيلُ ٱلصُّورَةِ جِدًّا، وَقَدْ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ بَعْدَ أَبْشَالُومَ.٦
7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar the priest, who furthered Adonias’s side.
وَكَانَ كَلَامُهُ مَعَ يُوآبَ ٱبْنِ صَرُويَةَ، وَمَعَ أَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، فَأَعَانَا أَدُونِيَّا.٧
8 But Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Rei, and the strength of David’s army was not with Adonias.
وَأَمَّا صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَشِمْعِي وَرِيعِي وَٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ لِدَاوُدَ فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ أَدُونِيَّا.٨
9 And Adonias having slain rams and calves, and all fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which was near the fountain Rogel, invited all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Juda, the king’s servants:
فَذَبَحَ أَدُونِيَّا غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَمَعْلُوفَاتٍ عِنْدَ حَجَرِ ٱلزَّاحِفَةِ ٱلَّذِي بِجَانِبِ عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَجَمِيعَ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا عَبِيدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ،٩
10 But Nathan the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.
وَأَمَّا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَبَنَايَاهُو وَٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ أَخُوهُ فَلَمْ يَدْعُهُمْ.١٠
11 And Nathan said to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias the son of Haggith reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not?
فَكَلَّمَ نَاثَانُ بَثْشَبَعَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمَانَ قَائِلًا: «أَمَا سَمِعْتِ أَنَّ أَدُونِيَّا ٱبْنَ حَجِّيثَ قَدْ مَلَكَ، وَسَيِّدُنَا دَاوُدُ لَا يَعْلَمُ؟١١
12 Now then come, take my counsel and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
فَٱلْآنَ تَعَالَيْ أُشِيرُ عَلَيْكِ مَشُورَةً فَتُنَجِّي نَفْسَكِ وَنَفْسَ ٱبْنِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ.١٢
13 Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord O king, swear to me thy handmaid, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign?
اِذْهَبِي وَٱدْخُلِي إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ وَقُولِي لَهُ: أَمَا حَلَفْتَ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ لِأَمَتِكَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكِ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي، وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي؟ فَلِمَاذَا مَلَكَ أَدُونِيَّا؟١٣
14 And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words.
وَفِيمَا أَنْتِ مُتَكَلِّمَةٌ هُنَاكَ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَدْخُلُ أَنَا وَرَاءَكِ وَأُكَمِّلُ كَلَامَكِ».١٤
15 So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber: now the king was very old, and Abisag the Sunamitess ministered to him.
فَدَخَلَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَى ٱلْمِخْدَعِ. وَكَانَ ٱلْمَلِكُ قَدْ شَاخَ جِدًّا وَكَانَتْ أَبِيشَجُ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةُ تَخْدِمُ ٱلْمَلِكَ.١٥
16 Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will?
فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ، فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَا لَكِ؟»١٦
17 She answered and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.
فَقَالَتْ لَهُ «أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي حَلَفْتَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِأَمَتِكَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكِ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي.١٧
18 And behold now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it.
وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا أَدُونِيَّا قَدْ مَلَكَ. وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتَ يَاسَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ لَا تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ.١٨
19 He hath killed oxen, and all fat cattle, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the general of the army: but Solomon thy servant he invited not.
وَقَدْ ذَبَحَ ثِيرَانًا وَمَعْلُوفَاتٍ وَغَنَمًا بِكَثْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَيُوآبَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْجَيْشِ، وَلَمْ يَدْعُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَبْدَكَ.١٩
20 And now, my lord O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldst tell them, who shall sit on thy throne, my lord the king, after thee.
وَأَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ أَعْيُنُ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْوَكَ لِكَيْ تُخْبِرَهُمْ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ بَعْدَهُ.٢٠
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
فَيَكُونُ إِذَا ٱضْطَجَعَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ أَنِّي أَنَا وَٱبْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ نُحْسَبُ مُذْنِبَيْنِ».٢١
22 As she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came.
وَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ مُتَكَلِّمَةٌ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِذَا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ دَاخِلٌ.٢٢
23 And they told the king, saying: Nathan the prophet is here. And when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground,
فَأَخْبَرُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ». فَدَخَلَ إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.٢٣
24 Nathan said: My lord O king, hast thou said: Let Adonias reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?
وَقَالَ نَاثَانُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ، أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ إِنَّ أَدُونِيَّا يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي؟٢٤
25 Because he is gone down today, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias:
لِأَنَّهُ نَزَلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَذَبَحَ ثِيرَانًا وَمَعْلُوفَاتٍ وَغَنَمًا بِكَثْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْجَيْشِ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ، وَهَا هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ أَمَامَهُ وَيَقُولُونَ: لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَدُونِيَّا.٢٥
26 But me thy servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Solomon thy servant he hath not invited.
وَأَمَّا أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَصَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَسُلَيْمَانُ عَبْدُكَ فَلَمْ يَدْعُنَا.٢٦
27 Is this word come out from my lord the king, and hast thou not told me thy servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
هَلْ مِنْ قِبَلِ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ، وَلَمْ تُعْلِمْ عَبْدَكَ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ بَعْدَهُ؟».٢٧
28 And king David answered and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him,
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَقَالَ: «اُدْعُ لِي بَثْشَبَعَ». فَدَخَلَتْ إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَوَقَفَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.٢٨
29 The king swore and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
فَحَلَفَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي فَدَى نَفْسِي مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقَةٍ،٢٩
30 Even as I swore to thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.
إِنَّهُ كَمَا حَلَفْتُ لَكِ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكِ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي، وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي عِوَضًا عَنِّي، كَذَلِكَ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ».٣٠
31 And Bethsabee bowing with her face to the earth worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever.
فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ وَقَالَتْ: «لِيَحْيَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».٣١
32 King David also said: Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king,
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ: «اُدْعُ لِي صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ». فَدَخَلُوا إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.٣٢
33 He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon.
فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لَهُمْ: «خُذُوا مَعَكُمْ عَبِيدَ سَيِّدِكُمْ، وَأَرْكِبُوا سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي عَلَى ٱلْبَغْلَةِ ٱلَّتِي لِي، وَٱنْزِلُوا بِهِ إِلَى جِيحُونَ،٣٣
34 And let Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and you shall sound the trumpet, and shall say: God save king Solomon.
وَلْيَمْسَحْهُ هُنَاكَ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ وَقُولُوا: لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ.٣٤
35 And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda.
وَتَصْعَدُونَ وَرَاءَهُ، فَيَأْتِي وَيَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي وَهُوَ يَمْلِكُ عِوَضًا عَنِّي، وَإِيَّاهُ قَدْ أَوْصَيْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا».٣٥
36 And Banaias the son of Joiada answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord the God of my lord the king.
فَأَجَابَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «آمِينَ. هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ.٣٦
37 As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, so be he with Solomon, and make his throne higher than the throne of my lord king David.
كَمَا كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ كَذَلِكَ لِيَكُنْ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَيَجْعَلْ كُرْسِيَّهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ كُرْسِيِّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ».٣٧
38 So Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet went down, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi: and they set Solomon upon the mule of king David, and brought him to Gihon.
فَنَزَلَ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَٱلْجَلَّادُونَ وَٱلسُّعَاةُ، وَأَرْكَبُوا سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ، وَذَهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى جِيحُونَ.٣٨
39 And Sadoc the priest took a horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and all the people said: God save king Solomon.
فَأَخَذَ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ قَرْنَ ٱلدُّهْنِ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَمَسَحَ سُلَيْمَانَ. وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ، وَقَالَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ».٣٩
40 And all the multitude went up after him, and the people played with pipes, and rejoiced with a great joy, and the earth rang with the noise of their cry.
وَصَعِدَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَرَاءَهُ. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلنَّايِ وَيَفْرَحُونَ فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا حَتَّى ٱنْشَقَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ أَصْوَاتِهِمْ.٤٠
41 And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end: Joab also hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar?
فَسَمِعَ أَدُونِيَّا وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ ٱلّذِينَ عِنْدهُ بَعْدَمَا ٱنْتَهَوْا مِنَ ٱلْأَكْلِ. وَسَمِعَ يُوآبُ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا صَوْتُ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ مُضْطَرِبٌ؟»٤١
42 While he yet spoke, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.
وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ إِذَا بِيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ أَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ قَدْ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ أَدُونِيَّا: «تَعَالَ، لِأَنَّكَ ذُو بَأْسٍ وَتُبَشِّرُ بِٱلْخَيْرِ».٤٢
43 And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord king David hath appointed Solomon king.
فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ وَقَالَ لِأَدُونِيَّا: «بَلْ سَيِّدُنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ قَدْ مَلَّكَ سُلَيْمَانَ.٤٣
44 And hath sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi, and they have set him upon the king’s mule.
وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ مَعَهُ صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةَ، وَقَدْ أَرْكَبُوهُ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ،٤٤
45 And Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard.
وَمَسَحَهُ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ مَلِكًا فِي جِيحُونَ، وَصَعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَرِحِينَ حَتَّى ٱضْطَرَبَتِ ٱلْقَرْيَةُ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلصَّوْتُ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ.٤٥
46 Moreover Solomon sitteth upon the throne of the kingdom,
وَأَيْضًا قَدْ جَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ.٤٦
47 And the king’s servants going in have blessed our lord king David, saying: May God make the name of Solomon greater than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king adored in his bed:
وَأَيْضًا جَاءَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِيُبَارِكُوا سَيِّدَنَا ٱلْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ قَائِلِينَ: يَجْعَلُ إِلَهُكَ ٱسْمَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَحْسَنَ مِنِ ٱسْمِكَ، وَكُرْسِيَّهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ كُرْسِيِّكَ. فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ.٤٧
48 And he said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it.
وَأَيْضًا هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانِيَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي وَعَيْنَايَ تُبْصِرَانِ».٤٨
49 Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose and every man went his way.
فَٱرْتَعَدَ وَقَامَ جَمِيعُ مَدْعُوِّي أَدُونِيَّا، وَذَهَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي طَرِيقِهِ.٤٩
50 And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose, and went, and took hold on the horn of the altar.
وَخَافَ أَدُونِيَّا مِنْ قِبَلِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَقَامَ وَٱنْطَلَقَ وَتَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.٥٠
51 And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias, fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.
فَأُخْبِرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا أَدُونِيَّا خَائِفٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَهُوَذَا قَدْ تَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ قَائِلًا: لِيَحْلِفْ لِي ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ إِنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ عَبْدَهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ».٥١
52 And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die.
فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «إِنْ كَانَ ذَا فَضِيلَةٍ لَا يَسْقُطُ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ وُجِدَ بِهِ شَرٌّ فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ».٥٢
53 Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house.
فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ فَأَنْزَلُوهُ عَنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، فَأَتَى وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. فَقَالَ لَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ: «ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ».٥٣
