1 Chronicles 22

1 And David says, “This is the house of YHWH God, and this [is] the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.”

١ فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «هُنَا يَكُونُ مَكَانُ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ، وَهُنَا يُشَيَّدُ مَذْبَحُ مُحْرَقَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

2 And David says to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appoints hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.

٢ وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ بِحَشْدِ كُلِّ الأَجَانِبِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَلَّفَ النَّحَّاتِينَ مِنْهُمْ بِنَحْتِ حِجَارَةٍ مُرَبَّعَةٍ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ اللهِ.

3 And David has prepared iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates and for couplings, and bronze in abundance—there is no weighing,

٣ وَأَعَدَّ دَاوُدُ حَدِيداً كَثِيراً لِعَمَلِ مَسَامِيرَ لِمَصَارِيعِ الأَبْوَابِ وَالْوُصَلِ، وَنُحَاساً وَفِيراً يَتَعَذَّرُ وَزْنُهُ،

4 and cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.

٤ وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ، لَا يُمْكِنُ إِحْصَاؤُهُ، لأَنَّ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَالصُّورِيِّينَ حَمَلُوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ كَمِّيَّاتٍ هَائِلَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

5 And David says, “My son Solomon [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built for YHWH [is] to be made exceedingly great, for renown and for beauty to all the lands; now let me prepare for it”; and David prepares in abundance before his death.

٥ وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّ ابْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ مَا بَرِحَ صَغِيراً وَغَضّاً، وَالْبَيْتُ الَّذِي يُبْنَى لِلرَّبِّ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَاِئعَ الشُّهْرَةِ مُعَظَّماً فِي جَمِيعِ الأَرَاضِي، فَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أُجَهِّزَ لَهُ مِنَ الآنَ مَوَادَّ الْبِنَاءِ». وَهَكَذَا جَهَّزَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ مَا أَمْكَنَهُ مِنْ مَوَادِّ الْبِنَاءِ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ.

6 And he calls for his son Solomon, and charges him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel,

٦ ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى ابْنَهُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأَوْصَاهُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 and David says to his son Solomon, “As for me, it has been with my heart to build a house for the Name of my God YHWH,

٧ وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «يَا بُنَيَّ، كَانَ فِي نِيَّتِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلاً لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِي.

8 and the word of YHWH [is] against me, saying, You have shed blood in abundance, and you have made great wars; you do not build a house for My Name, for you have shed much blood to the earth before Me.

٨ وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ خَاطَبَنِي قَائِلاً: لَقَدْ أَهْرَقْتَ دِمَاءً كَثِيرَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَخُضْتَ حُرُوباً عَظِيمَةً، وَلِهَذَا لَا يُمْكِنُكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ بَيْتاً لاِسْمِي؛

9 Behold, a son is born to you; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his surrounding enemies, for Solomon is his name, and I give peace and quietness to Israel in his days;

٩ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُوْلَدُ لَكَ ابْنٌ يَكُونُ رَجُلَ سَلامٍ وَأَمْنٍ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ، فَيَكُونُ اسْمُهُ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَأَجْعَلُ السَّلامَ وَالسَّكِينَةَ يَسُودَانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِهِ.

10 he builds a house for My Name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel for all time.

١٠ هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتاً لاِسْمِي، وَيَكُونُ لِيَ ابْناً، وَأَنَا لَهُ أَباً، وأُثَبِّتُ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

11 Now my son, YHWH is with you, and you have prospered, and have built the house of your God YHWH, as He spoke concerning you.

١١ وَالآنَ يَا ابْنِي لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَكَ فَيُحَالِفَكَ التَّوْفِيقُ فِي بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْكَ،

12 Only, may YHWH give wisdom and understanding to you, and charge you concerning Israel, even to keep the Law of your God YHWH;

١٢ وَلْيَمْنَحْكَ الرَّبُّ فِطْنَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً عِنْدَمَا يُوَلِّيكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتُطِيعَ شَرِيعَةَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ،

13 then you prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the judgments that YHWH charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.

١٣ حِينَئِذٍ تُفْلِحُ، إِذْ تَحْرِصُ عَلَى مُمَارَسَةِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَالأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي أَمَرَ بِها الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَسَنَّهَا لإِسْرَائِيلَ. تَشَجَّعْ وَتَقَوَّ، لَا تَجْزَعْ وَلا تَرْتَعِبْ.

14 And behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of YHWH one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million talents of silver; and of bronze and of iron there is no weighing, for it has been in abundance; and I have prepared wood and stones, and you add to them.

١٤ وَهَا أَنَا قَدْ كَابَدْتُ كُلَّ مَشَقَّةٍ لأُعِدَّ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ: مِئَةَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ طُنٍّ) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَأَلْفَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ أَلْفَ طُنٍّ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَنُحَاساً وَحَدِيداً لَا يُمْكِنُ وَزْنُهُ لِوَفْرَتِهِ. وَقَدْ جَهَّزْتُ أَيْضاً خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً، وَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُضِيفَ عَلَيْهَا.

15 And with you in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and craftsmen of stone and of wood, and every skillful man for every work.

١٥ وَلَدَيْكَ عَدَدٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنَ الْعُمَّالِ، مِنْ نَحَّاتِينَ وَبَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ، وَكُلُّ مَاهِرٍ فِي كُلِّ حِرْفَةٍ.

16 Of the gold, of the silver, and of the bronze, and of the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and YHWH is with you.”

١٦ وَقَدْ تَوَافَرَ لَدَيْكَ مَا لَا يُحْصَى مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالنُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ. فَقُمْ وَاعْمَلْ، وَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَكَ».

17 And David gives charge to all heads of Israel to give help to his son Solomon, [saying],

١٧ وَأَوْصَى دَاوُدُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُعَاوَنَةِ ابْنِهِ سُلَيْمَانَ،

18 “Is your God YHWH not with you? Indeed, He has given rest to you all around, for He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before His people.

١٨ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَلَيْسَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مَعَكُمْ وَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، إِذْ نَصَرَنِي عَلَى أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، فَخَضَعَتْ أُمَمُهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَأَمَامَ شَعْبِهِ.

19 Now give your heart and your soul to seek for your God YHWH, and rise and build the sanctuary of YHWH God, to bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built for the Name of YHWH.”

١٩ فَاعْقِدُوا الْعَزْمَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَنُفُوسِكُمْ عَلَى طَلَبِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى بِنَاءِ مَقْدِسِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ لِتَنْقُلُوا تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ وَآنِيَةَ قُدْسِ اللهِ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي يُبْنَى لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ».
