1 Kings 4

1 Thus was king Solomon king over all Israel.

١ وَمَلَكَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 And these were the princes whom he had: 'Azaryahu the son of Zadok the priest;

٢ وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ كِبَارِ مُعَاوِنِيهِ: عَزَرْيَاهُو بْنُ صَادُوقَ الْكَاهِنِ،

3 Elichoreph and Achiyah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud, the recorder;

٣ وَأَلِيحُورَفُ وَأَخِيَّا ابْنَا شِيشَا كَاتِبَا الْبَلاطِ، وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ الْمَسْؤُولُ عَنِ السِّجِلاتِ،

4 And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' over the army; and Zadok and Ebyathar priests;

٤ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ قَائِدُ الْجَيْشِ، وَصَادُوقُ وَأَبِيَاثَارُ كَاهِنَانِ،

5 And Azaryahu the son of Nathan was over the superintendents; and Zabud the son of Nathan was an officer of state and the king's friend;

٥ وَعَزَرْيَاهُو بْنُ نَاثَانَ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ وُكَلاءِ الْمَنَاطِقِ، وَزَابُودُ بْنُ نَاثَانَ كَاهِنٌ وَنَدِيمُ الْمَلِكِ،

6 And Achishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of 'Abda was over the tribute.

٦ وَأَخِيشَارُ مُدِيرُ شُؤُونِ الْقَصْرِ، وَأَدُونِيرَامُ بْنُ عَبْدَا مَسْؤُولٌ عَنِ الأَشْغَالِ الشَّاقَّةِ.

7 And Solomon had twelve superintendents over all Israel, who provided for the king and his household: one month in the year had the particular one to procure provisions.

٧ وَعَيَّنَ سُلَيْمَانُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَكِيلاً مُوَزَّعِينَ عَلَى أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَهِدَ إِلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ بِإِمْدَادِ الْقَصْرِ وَأَهْلِهِ بِالْمُؤَنِ شَهْراً مِنْ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ.

8 And these are their names: Ben-chur on the mountain of Ephraim;

٨ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ: ابْنُ حُورَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.

9 Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Sha'albim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-chanan;

٩ ابْنُ دَقَرَ فِي مَاقَصَ وَشَعَلُبِّيمَ وَبَيْتِ شَمْسٍ وَأَيْلُونِ بَيْتِ حَانَانَ.

10 Ben-chessed, in Arubboth; to him pertained Sochoh and all the land of Chepher;

١٠ ابْنُ حَسَدَ فِي أَرْبُوتَ، وَكَانَ مَسْؤُولاً عَنْ سُوكُوهَ وَسَائِرِ أَرْضِ حَافَرَ أَيْضاً.

11 Ben-abinadab, in all the district of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon for wife;

١١ ابْنُ أَبِينَادَابَ، زَوْجُ طَافَةَ ابْنَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ، فِي كُلِّ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ دُورٍ.

12 Ba'ana the son of Achilud in Tha'anach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zarethanah beneath Yizre'el, from Beth-shean to Abel-mecholah, as far as beyond Yokme'am;

١٢ بَعْنَا بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ فِي تَعْنَكَ وَمَجِدُّو وَكُلِّ بَيْتِ شَانٍ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لِصُرْتَانَ أَسْفَلَ يَزْرَعِيلَ، فَضْلاً عَنْ كُلِّ الأَرَاضِي الْوَاقِعَةِ مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِ شَانٍ وَآبَلِ مَحُولَةَ حَتَّى يَقْمَعَامَ.

13 Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gil'ad; to him pertained the villages of Ya'ir the son of Menasseh, which are in Gil'ad; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and brazen bars;

١٣ ابْنُ جَابَرَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ قُرَى يَائِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فِي جِلْعَادَ، وَإِقْلِيمُ أَرْجُوبَ فِي بَاشَانَ، وَهِيَ سِتُّونَ مَدِينَةً ذَاتَ أَسْوَارٍ وَبَوَّابَاتٍ لَهَا أَرْتَاجٌ نُحَاسِيَّةٌ.

14 Achinadab the son of 'Iddo in Machanayim;

١٤ أَخِينَادَابُ بْنُ عُدُّو فِي مَحَنَايِمَ.

15 Achima'az in Naphtali; he also took Bahsemath the daughter of Solomon for wife;

١٥ أَخِيمَعَصُ فِي نَفْتَالِي، وَهُوَ أَيْضاً تَزَوَّجَ مِنْ بَاسِمَةَ ابْنَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

16 Ba'anah the son of Chushai in Asher and in Be'aloth;

١٦ بَعْنَا بْنُ حُوشَايَ فِي أَشِيرَ وَبَعَلُوتَ.

17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruach, in Issachar;

١٧ يَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ فَارُوحَ فِي يَسَّاكَرَ.

18 Shim'i the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

١٨ شِمْعِي بْنُ أَيْلا فِي بِنْيَامِينَ.

19 Geber the son of Uri in the country of Gil'ad, the country of Sichon the king of the Emorites, and of 'Og the king of Bashan; besides the one superintendent who was in the land.

١٩ جَابِرُ بْنُ أُورِي فِي أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ لِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ، وَكَانَ يُشْرِفُ عَلَى هَؤُلاءِ الْوُكَلاءِ مُرَاقِبٌ وَاحِدٌ عَامٌّ.

20 Judah and Israel were numerous, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude; and they ate and drank, and made merry.

٢٠ وَكَانَ عَدَدُ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلَ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ فِي الْكَثْرَةِ لَا يُحْصَى، وَكَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِالسَّعَادَةِ.

21 And Solomon was ruling over all the kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary of Egypt, which brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

٢١ وَامْتَدَّ سُلْطَانُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمَمَالِكِ الْوَاقِعَةِ مَا بَيْنَ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَحَتَّى تُخُومِ مِصْرَ. فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْمَمَالِكُ تُقَدِّمُ لَهُ الْجِزْيَةَ وَتَخْضَعُ لَهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, and sixty kors of meal,

٢٢ وَكَانَتْ مُتَطَلَّبَاتُ الْقَصْرِ الْيَوْمِيَّةُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ ثَلاثِينَ كُرَّ سَمِيذٍ (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ آلافٍ وَمِئَتَيْ لِتْرٍ)، وَسِتِّينَ كُرَّ دَقِيقٍ،

23 Ten fatted oxen, and twenty pasture oxen, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.

٢٣ وَعَشَرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ مُسَمَّنَةٍ، وَعِشْرِينَ ثَوْراً مِنَ الْمَرَاعِي، وَمِئَةَ خَرُوفٍ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الأَيَائِلِ وَالْغِزْلانِ وَالْيَحَامِيرِ وَالإِوَزِّ الْمُسَمَّنِ،

24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Thiphsach even to Gazzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

٢٤ لأَنَّ سُلْطَانَهُ كَانَ مُمْتَدّاً عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرَاضِي الْوَاقِعَةِ غَرْبِيَّ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ مِنْ تَفْسَحَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ وَعَلَى مُلُوكِهَا، فَكَانَ السَّلامُ يُحِيطُ بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ.

25 And Judah and Israel dwelt in safety, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', all the days of Solomon.

٢٥ وَتَمَتَّعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَيَهُوذَا بِالأَمْنِ طَوَالَ حَيَاةِ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَكَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَسْتَمْتِعُ بِالْجُلُوسِ تَحْتَ ظِلالِ كَرْمَتِهِ وَتِينَتِهِ مِنْ دَانٍ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ

26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls for the horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

٢٦ وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ أَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفَ مِذْوَدٍ لِخَيْلِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ، وَاثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ.

27 And those superintendents provided for king Solomon, and for all that came near unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.

٢٧ وَكَانَ وُكَلاءُ الْمَنَاطِقِ، كُلٌّ فِي شَهْرِهِ، يَمُدُّونَ الْمَلِكَ سُلَيْمَانَ وَكُلَّ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ عَلَى مَائِدَتِهِ بِالْمَؤُونَةِ، فَلَمْ يَفْتَقِرُوا إِلَى شَيْءٍ.

28 The barley also and the straw for the horses and the runners did they bring unto the place where he might be, every man according to his prescription.

٢٨ وَكَذَلِكَ جَلَبُوا الشَّعِيرَ وَالتِّبْنَ لِخَيْلِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَسِوَاهَا مِنَ الْجِيَادِ إِلَى الْمَوَاضِعِ الْمُعَيَّنَةِ لِكُلِّ وَكِيلٍ.

29 And God gave unto Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.

٢٩ وَوَهَبَ اللهُ سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةً وَفَهْماً فَائِقَيْنِ، وَرَحَابَةَ صَدْرٍ غَيْرَ مُتَنَاهِيَةٍ.

30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

٣٠ وَتَفَوَّقَتْ حِكْمَةُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَكُلِّ حِكْمَةِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ.

31 And he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrachite, and Heman, and Kalkol, and Darda', the sons of Machol: and his name was [spread] among all the nations round about.

٣١ فَكَانَ أَكْثَرَ حِكْمَةً مِنْ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ مِثْلَ إِيثَانَ الأَزْرَاحِيِّ وَهِيمَانَ وَكَلْكُولَ وَدَرْدَعَ أَبْنَاءِ مَاحُولَ. وَذَاعَ صِيتُهُ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ.

32 And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.

٣٢ وَنَطَقَ بِثَلاثَةِ آلافِ مَثَلٍ، وَبَلَغَتْ أَنَاشِيدُهُ أَلْفاً وَخَمْسَ قَصَائِدَ.

33 And he spoke concerning the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on the Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spoke also concerning the beasts, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the fishes.

٣٣ وَوَصَفَ الْحَيَاةَ النَّبَاتِيَّةَ بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ أَشْجَارُ الأَرْزِ فِي لُبْنَانَ، وَالزُّوفَا النَّابِتُ فِي الْحَائِطِ، كَمَا وَصَفَ الْبَهَائِمَ وَالطَّيْرَ وَالزَّوَاحِفَ وَالسَّمَكَ.

34 And men came from all the people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

٣٤ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ لِيَسْتَمِعُوا إِلَى حِكْمَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ، مُوْفَدِينَ مِنْ قِبَلِ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ الَّذِينَ بَلَغَتْهُمْ أَخْبَارُ حِكْمَتِهِ.
