1 Chronicles 22

1 Then David said, "This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel."

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

2 David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut worked stones to build God's house.

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

3 David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and bronze in abundance without weight;

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

4 and cedar trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.

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

5 David said, "Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it." So David prepared abundantly 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 Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.

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

7 David said to Solomon, "My son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.

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

8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

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

9 Look, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will 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 shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.'

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

11 Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

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

12 May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of the LORD your God.

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

13 Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong, and courageous. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed.

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

14 Now, look, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may 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 There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work:

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

16 of the gold, the silver, and the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you."

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

17 And David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

١٧ وَأَوْصَى دَاوُدُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُعَاوَنَةِ ابْنِهِ سُلَيْمَانَ،

18 "Isn't the LORD your God with you? Hasn't he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and 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 set your heart and your soul to seek after the LORD your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD."

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».
