Ezra 3
1 When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
| وَمَا إِنْ أَهَلَّ الشَّهْرُ السَّابِعُ (أَيْلُولَ – سِبْتَمْبَر)، وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اسْتَقَرُّوا فِي مُدُنِهِمْ، حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١ |
2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
| فَهَبَّ يَشُوعُ بْنُ يُوصَادَاقَ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُ الْكَهَنَةُ، وَزَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُ، وَبَنَوْا مَذْبَحَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيُقَرِّبُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى رَجُلِ اللهِ. | ٢ |
3 In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
| وَعَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِمَّا كَانَ يَعْتَرِيهِمْ مِنْ خَوْفٍ مِنْ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ شَيَّدُوا الْمَذْبَحَ فِي مَوْقِعِهِ، وَأَصْعَدُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ صَبَاحاً وَمَسَاءً، | ٣ |
4 They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
| وَاحْتَفَلُوا بِعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ، مُقَرِّبِينَ مُحْرَقَاتِ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ وَفْقاً لِلْعَدَدِ الْمَطْلُوبِ. | ٤ |
5 and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD.
| ثُمَّ وَاظَبُوا عَلَى إِصْعَادِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ، وَمُحْرَقَاتِ أَوَائِلِ الشُّهُورِ، وَمَوَاسِمِ أَعْيَادِ الرَّبِّ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، كَمَا أَتَوْا بِالتَّقْدِمَاتِ الطَّوْعِيَّةِ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٥ |
6 From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD; but the foundation of the LORD's temple was not yet laid.
| وَشَرَعُوا مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ يُقَرِّبُونَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعِيدَ تَأْسِيسُ الْهَيْكَلِ بَعْدُ. | ٦ |
7 They also gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Koresh King of Persia.
| ثُمَّ تَبَرَّعُوا بِفِضَّةٍ لاِسْتِئْجَارِ نَحَّاتِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ، وَقَدَّمُوا طَعَاماً وَمَشْرُوبَاتٍ وَزَيْتاً لِلصَّيْدُونِيِّينَ وَالصُّورِيِّينَ، لِيَنْقُلُوا لَهُمْ خَشَبَ أَرْزٍ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ إِلَى سَاحِلِ يَافَا، بِتَرْخِيصٍ مِنْ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ. | ٧ |
8 Now in the second year of their coming to God's house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD's house.
| وَفِي الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ رُجُوعِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ، ابْتَدَأَ زَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ ويَشُوعُ بْنُ يُوصَادَاقَ، وَبَقِيَّةُ أَقْرِبَائِهِمْ مِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ، وَسَائِرُ الْقَادِمِينَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، بِالْعَمَلِ فِي بِنَاءِ الْهَيْكَلِ، فَأَقَامُوا اللّاوِيِّينَ، الْبَالِغِينَ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ، لِلإِشْرَافِ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. | ٨ |
9 Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in God's house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
| فَأَشْرَفَ يَشُوعُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَإخْوَتُهُ وَقَدْمِيئِيلُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَهُوذَا، وَكَذَلِكَ أَبْنَاءُ عَشِيرَةِ حِينَادَادَ مَعَ بَنِيهِمْ وَأَقْرِبَائِهِمْ مِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ، عَلَى الْعُمَّالِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٩ |
10 When the builders laid the foundation of the LORD's temple, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
| وَلَمَّا أَرْسَى الْبَنَّاؤونَ أَسَاسَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، أَخَذَ الْكَهَنَةُ أَمَاكِنَهُمْ، بَعْدَ أَنِ ارْتَدَوْا مَلابِسَهُمُ الرَّسْمِيَّةَ، وَحَمَلُوا الأَبْوَاقَ، وَكَذَلِكَ وَقَفَ اللّاوِيُّونَ مِنْ بَنِي آسَافَ حَامِلِينَ الصُّنُوجَ لِتَسْبِيحِ الرَّبِّ، وَفْقاً لِمَا رَتَّبَهُ دَاوُدُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ١٠ |
11 They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to the LORD, "For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel." All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.
| وَتَرَنَّمُوا بِالتَّسْبِيحِ وَالْحَمْدِ لِلرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ وَلأَنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَهَتَفَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ هُتَافاً عَظِيماً، تَسْبِيحاً لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِرْسَاءِ أَسَاسِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ١١ |
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of ancestral houses, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
| وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَكِبَارِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ، الَّذِينَ شَاهَدُوا الْهَيْكَلَ الأَوَّلَ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ سُلَيْمَانُ، رَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْبُكَاءِ عِنْدَ إِرْسَاءِ أَسَاسِ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ بَيْنَمَا رَاحَ بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعْبِ يُطْلِقُونَ هُتَافَاتِ الْبَهْجَةِ وَالْفَرَحِ | ١٢ |
13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الشَّعْبُ أَنْ يُمَيِّزَ هُتَافَ الْفَرَحِ مِنْ صَوْتِ الْبُكَاءِ، لأَنَّ هُتَافَ الشَّعْبِ كَانَ مُدَوِّياً، حَتَّى كَانَ يُسْمَعُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ١٣ |
