1 Kings 5
1 Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
| وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ وَفْداً إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بَعْدَ أَنْ سَمِعَ أَنَّهُ اعْتَلَى الْعَرْشَ خَلَفاً لأَبِيهِ، وَكَانَ حِيرَامُ صَدِيقاً مُحِبّاً لِدَاوُدَ. | ١ |
2 Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
| فَكَتَبَ سُلَيْمَانُ رِسَالَةً إِلَى حِيرَامَ قَائِلاً: | ٢ |
3 "You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
| «أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَبِي دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتاً لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ الْحُرُوبِ الَّتِي خَاضَهَا، حَتَّى أَظْفَرَهُ الرَّبُّ بِأَعْدَائِهِ وَأَخْضَعَهُمْ لَهُ. | ٣ |
4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
| أَمَّا الآنَ وَقَدْ أَرَاحَنِي الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، فَلَيْسَ مِنْ ثَائِرٍ أَوْ حَادِثَةِ شَرٍّ. | ٤ |
5 Look, I purpose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for my name.'
| وَهَا أَنَا قَدْ نَوَيْتُ أَنْ أَبْنِيَ بَيْتاً لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِي، كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي: إِنَّ ابْنَكَ الَّذِي يَخْلُفُكَ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتاً لاِسْمِي الْعَظِيمِ. | ٥ |
6 Now therefore command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. My servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."
| فَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَأْمُرَ رِجَالَكَ أَنْ يَقْطَعُوا لِي أَرْزاً مِنْ لُبْنَانَ، وَسَيَعْمَلُ رِجَالِي جَنْباً إِلَى جَنْبٍ مَعَ رِجَالِكَ، وَأَقُومُ أَنَا بِدَفْعِ أُجْرَةِ رِجَالِكَ بِمُوْجِبِ مَا تَرَاهُ، لأَنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ قَوْمِي مَنْ يَمْهَرُ فِي قَطْعِ الأَخْشَابِ مِثْلَ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ». | ٦ |
7 It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed is the LORD this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ حِيرَامُ كَلامَ سُلَيْمَانَ، غَمَرَتْهُ الْبَهْجَةُ وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ الْيَوْمَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي رَزَقَ دَاوُدَ ابْناً حَكِيماً لِيَمْلِكَ عَلَى هَذَا الشَّعْبِ الْغَفِيرِ». | ٧ |
8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will satisfy all your desire concerning cedar wood and concerning the wood of evergreens.
| وَبَعَثَ حِيرَامُ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بِرِسَالَةٍ قَائِلاً: «قَدِ اطَّلَعْتُ عَلَى رِسَالَتِكَ وَسَأَعْمَلُ عَلَى تَلْبِيَةِ رَغْبَتِكَ بِشَأْنِ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ وَخَشَبِ السَّرْوِ. | ٨ |
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them. You shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household."
| سَيَقُومُ رِجَالِي بِنَقْلِ الْخَشَبِ مِنْ جَبَلِ لُبْنَانَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ، وَيَرْبِطُونَ قِطَعَ الْخَشَبِ إِلَى بَعْضِهَا فِي حُزَمٍ ضَخْمَةٍ، يُعَوِّمُهَا رِجَالِي وَيُوَجِّهُونَهَا إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي تُعَيِّنُهُ، فَيُسَلِّمُونَهَا لِرِجَالِكَ، وَعَلَيْكَ لِقَاءَ ذَلِكَ، أَنْ تُمَوِّنَ قَصْرِي الْمَلَكِيَّ بِمَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ». | ٩ |
10 So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
| فَكَانَ حِيرَامُ يُوَفِّرُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ مَا يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ وَخَشَبِ سَرْوٍ، | ١٠ |
11 Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty thousand baths of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
| وَيُقَدِّمُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِحِيرَامَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ لِقَاءَ ذَلِكَ، عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ كُرِّ قَمْحٍ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ آلافٍ وَثَمَانِي مِئَةِ طُنٍّ) طَعَاماً لِقَصْرِهِ، وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ كُرِّ زَيْتٍ نَقِيٍّ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ آلافٍ وَثَمَانِي مِئَةِ لِتْرٍ). | ١١ |
12 The LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a covenant.
| وَمَنَحَ الرَّبُّ سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةً كَمَا وَعَدَهُ، وَعَقَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ مَعَ حِيرَامَ مُعَاهَدَةَ سَلامٍ وَصَدَاقَةٍ. | ١٢ |
13 King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
| وَسَخَّرَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ ثَلاثِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَرْجَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ١٣ |
14 He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
| فَكَانَ يُرْسِلُ مِنْهُمْ عَشَرَةَ آلافٍ إِلَى لُبْنَانَ لِمُدَّةِ شَهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ مُنَاوَبَةً، فَيَقْضُونَ شَهْراً فِي لُبْنَانَ وَشَهْرَيْنِ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ. وَكَانَ أَدُونِيرَامُ الْمُشْرِفَ عَلَى تَنْظِيمِ عَمَلِيَّةِ التَّسْخِيرِ. | ١٤ |
15 Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains;
| وَفَضْلاً عَنْ هَؤُلاءِ، كَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفاً مِنْ حَمَّالِي الْخَشَبِ وَثَمَانُونَ أَلْفاً مِنْ قَاطِعِي الْحِجَارَةِ فِي الْجَبَلِ، | ١٥ |
16 besides Solomon's chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and six hundred, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.
| مَاعَدَا ثَلاثَةَ آلافٍ وَثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِفِينَ عَلَى هَؤُلاءِ الْعُمَّالِ. | ١٦ |
17 The king commanded, and they cut out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
| وَبِنَاءً عَلَى أَمْرِ الْمَلِكِ قَامَ الْعُمَّالُ بِقَلْعِ حِجَارَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ، هَذَّبُوهَا فَصَارَتْ مُرَبَّعَةً، لاِسْتِخْدَامِهَا فِي أَسَاسِ بِنَاءِ الْهَيْكَلِ. | ١٧ |
18 Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
| فَنَحَتَهَا بَنَّاؤُو سُلَيْمَانَ بِمُسَاعَدَةِ بَنَّائِي حِيرَامَ وَأَهْلِ جُبَيْلَ، وَهَيَّأُوا الأَخْشَابَ وَالْحِجَارَةَ لِتَشْيِيدِ الْهَيْكَلِ. | ١٨ |
