1 Kings 4

1 King Solomon was king over all Israel.

١ وَكَانَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مَلِكًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 These were the officials whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;

٢ وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُ: عَزَرْيَاهُو بْنُ صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ،

3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

٣ وَأَلِيحُورَفُ وَأَخِيَّا ٱبْنَا شِيشَا كَاتِبَانِ. وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ ٱلْمُسَجِّلُ،

4 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

٤ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ عَلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ، وَصَادُوقُ وَأَبِيَاثَارُ كَاهِنَانِ.

5 and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, the king's friend;

٥ وَعَزَرْيَاهُو بْنُ نَاثَانَ عَلَى ٱلْوُكَلَاءِ، وَزَابُودُ بْنُ نَاثَانَ كَاهِنٌ وَصَاحِبُ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

6 and Ahishar was over the palace; and Eliab son of Joab was over the army; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to forced labor.

٦ وَأَخِيشَارُ عَلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَأَدُونِيرَامُ بْنُ عَبْدَا عَلَى ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ.

7 Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.

٧ وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ وَكِيلًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَمْتَارُونَ لِلْمَلِكِ وَبَيْتِهِ. كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْوَاحِدِ أَنْ يَمْتَارَ شَهْرًا فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ.

8 These are their names: Ben Hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;

٨ وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمُ: ٱبْنُ حُورَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.

9 Ben Deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth Shemesh, and Elon Beth Hanan;

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

10 Ben Hesed, in Arubboth (to him belonged Socoh, and all the land of Hepher);

١٠ ٱبْنُ حَسَدَ فِي أَرُبُوتَ. كَانَتْ لَهُ سُوكُوهُ وَكُلُّ أَرْضِ حَافَرَ.

11 Ben Abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife);

١١ ٱبْنُ أَبِينَادَابَ فِي كُلِّ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ دُورٍ. كَانَتْ طَافَةُ بِنْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً.

12 Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth Shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;

١٢ بَعْنَا بْنُ أَخِيلُودَ فِي تَعْنَكَ وَمَجِدُّو وَكُلِّ بَيْتِ شَانٍ ٱلَّتِي بِجَانِبِ صُرْتَانَ تَحْتَ يَزْرَعِيلَ، مِنْ بَيْتِ شَانَ إِلَى آبَلَ مَحُولَةَ، إِلَى مَعْبَرِ يَقْمَعَامَ.

13 Ben Geber, in Ramoth Gilead (to him belonged the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him belonged the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars);

١٣ ٱبْنُ جَابَرَ فِي رَامُوتِ جِلْعَادَ. لَهُ حَوُّوثُ يَائِيرَ ٱبْنِ مَنَسَّى ٱلَّتِي فِي جِلْعَادَ، وَلَهُ كُورَةُ أَرْجُوبَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَاشَانَ. سِتُّونَ مَدِينَةً عَظِيمَةً بِأَسْوَارٍ وَعَوَارِضَ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;

١٤ أَخِينَادَابُ بْنُ عُدُّو فِي مَحَنَايِمَ.

15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife);

١٥ أَخِيمَعَصُ فِي نَفْتَالِي، وَهُوَ أَيْضًا أَخَذَ بَاسِمَةَ بِنْتَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱمْرَأَةً.

16 Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and in Aloth;

١٦ بَعْنَا بْنُ حُوشَايَ فِي أَشِيرَ وَبَعَلُوتَ.

17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;

١٧ يَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ فَارُوحَ فِي يَسَّاكَرَ.

18 Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

١٨ شِمْعِي بْنُ أَيْلَاَ فِي بَنْيَامِينَ.

19 Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only prefect in the land of Judah.

١٩ جَابِرُ بْنُ أُورِي فِي أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ، أَرْضِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ. وَوَكِيلٌ وَاحِدٌ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

20 Judah and Israel were many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.

٢٠ وَكَانَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلُ كَثِيرِينَ كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ.

21 And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms, from the River, and to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

٢١ وَكَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَرْضِ فِلِسْطِينَ، وَإِلَى تُخُومِ مِصْرَ. كَانُوا يُقَدِّمُونَ ٱلْهَدَايَا وَيَخْدِمُونَ سُلَيْمَانَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

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

٢٢ وَكَانَ طَعَامُ سُلَيْمَانَ لِلْيَوْمِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ: ثَلَاثِينَ كُرَّ سَمِيذٍ، وَسِتِّينَ كُرَّ دَقِيقٍ،

23 ten head of fat cattle, and twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fattened fowl.

٢٣ وَعَشْرَةَ ثِيرَانٍ مُسَمَّنَةٍ، وَعِشْرِينَ ثَوْرًا مِنَ ٱلْمَرَاعِي، وَمِئَةَ خَرُوفٍ، مَا عَدَا ٱلْأَيَائِلَ وَٱلظِّبَاءَ وَٱلْيَحَامِيرَ وَٱلْإِوَزَّ ٱلْمُسَمَّنَ.

24 For he had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides around him.

٢٤ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ مَا عَبْرَ ٱلنَّهْرِ مِنْ تَفْسَحَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ، عَلَى كُلِّ مُلُوكِ عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَكَانَ لَهُ صُلْحٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ جَوَانِبِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

25 Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

٢٥ وَسَكَنَ يَهُوذَا وَإِسْرَائِيلُ آمِنِينَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ تَحْتَ كَرْمَتِهِ وَتَحْتَ تِينَتِهِ، مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، كُلَّ أَيَّامِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

26 And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

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

27 Those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.

٢٧ وَهَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوُكَلَاءُ كَانُوا يَمْتَارُونَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَلِكُلِّ مَنْ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى مَائِدَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي شَهْرِهِ. لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ.

28 And they also brought barley and straw for the horses and the steeds to the place where the officers were, every man according to his duty.

٢٨ وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ بِشَعِيرٍ وَتِبْنٍ لِلْخَيْلِ وَٱلْجِيَادِ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ قَضَائِهِ.

29 God gave Solomon wisdom and exceptional insight, and very great understanding, even as the sand that is on the seashore.

٢٩ وَأَعْطَى ٱللهُ سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةً وَفَهْمًا كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَرَحْبَةَ قَلْبٍ كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

30 Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the people of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

٣٠ وَفَاقَتْ حِكْمَةُ سُلَيْمَانَ حِكْمَةَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَكُلَّ حِكْمَةِ مِصْرَ.

31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations all around.

٣١ وَكَانَ أَحْكَمَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ، مِنْ إِيثَانَ ٱلْأَزْرَاحِيِّ وَهَيْمَانَ وَكَلْكُولَ وَدَرْدَعَ بَنِي مَاحُولَ. وَكَانَ صِيتُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ حَوَالَيْهِ.

32 He spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were one thousand five.

٣٢ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثَةِ آلَافِ مَثَلٍ، وَكَانَتْ نَشَائِدُهُ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسًا.

33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, and of birds, and of crawling creatures, and of fish.

٣٣ وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْجَارِ، مِنَ ٱلْأَرْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي لُبْنَانَ إِلَى ٱلزُّوفَا ٱلنَّابِتِ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ. وَتَكَلَّمَ عَنِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَعَنِ ٱلطَّيْرِ وَعَنِ ٱلدَّبِيبِ وَعَنِ ٱلسَّمَكِ.

34 There came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

٣٤ وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ لِيَسْمَعُوا حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ، مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا بِحِكْمَتِهِ.
