1 Chronicles 29

1 David the king said to all the assembly, "Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

١ وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ الْمَلِكُ لِكُلِّ الْجَمْعِ الْحَاضِرِ: «إِنَّ ابْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاهُ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لايَزَالُ صَغِيراً غَضّاً، وَالْعَمَلُ الْمَطْلُوبُ ضَخْمٌ، لأَنَّ الْهَيْكَلَ لَيْسَ لإِنْسَانٍ بَلْ لِلرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ.

2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, stones for inlaid work, and of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

٢ وَقَدْ بَذَلْتُ كُلَّ جَهْدِي لِتَجْهِيزِ مَا يَتَطَلَّبُهُ بِنَاءُ هَيْكَلِ إِلَهِي مِنْ مَوَادَّ، فَوَفَّرْتُ الذَّهَبَ لِمَا يُصْنَعُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَالْفِضَّةَ لِمَا يُصْنَعُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَالنُّحَاسَ لِمَا يُصْنَعُ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَالْحَدِيدَ لِمَا يُصْنَعُ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَالْخَشَبَ لِمَا يُصْنَعُ مِنْ خَشَبٍ، وَحِجَارَةَ الْجَزَعِ وَجَوَاهِرَ ثَمِينَةً لِلتَّرْصِيعِ، وَحِجَارَةً ذَاتَ أَلْوَانٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، وَحِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً وَرُخَاماً كَثِيراً.

3 In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

٣ وَلِفَرْطِ سُرُورِي بِبَيْتِ إِلَهِي، فَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ مِنْ مَالِي الْخَاصِّ ذَهَباً وَفِضَّةً، بِالإِضَافَةِ إِلَى كُلِّ مَا أَعْدَدْتُهُ لِلْهَيْكَلِ.

4 even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;

٤ وَهِيَ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا ثَلاثَةُ آلافِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةِ آلافِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنْ ذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ، وَسَبْعَةُ آلافِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ النَّقِيَّةِ لِتَغْشِيَةِ جُدْرَانِ الْبُيُوتِ.

5 of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?"

٥ فَالذَّهَبُ لِمَا يُصْنَعُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَالْفِضَّةُ لِمَا يُصْنَعُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ. فَمَنْ يَرْغَبُ الْيَوْمَ فِي التَّبَرُّعِ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ؟»

6 Then the leaders of the ancestral houses, and the leaders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with the officers over the king's work, offered willingly;

٦ فَتَبَرَّعَ زُعَمَاءُ عَائِلاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ أَسْبَاطِهِمْ، وَقَادَةُ الأُلُوفِ وَالْمِئَاتِ وَمُدِيرُو أَعْمَالِ الْمَلِكِ،

7 and they gave for the service of God's house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and of iron a hundred thousand talents.

٧ وَقَدَّمُوا لِخِدْمَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ خَمْسَةَ آلافِ وَزْنَةٍ وَعَشَرَةَ آلافِ دِرْهَمٍ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ كِيلُو جْرامٍ) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَعَشْرَةَ آلافِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِ مِئَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفَ كِيلُو جْرامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ طُنٍّ) مِنَ النُّحَاسِ، وَمِئَةَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّمَائَةِ طُنٍّ) مِنَ الْحَدِيدِ.

8 They with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

٨ وَكُلُّ مَنْ وُجِدَتْ لَدَيْهِ حِجَارَةٌ كَرِيمَةٌ قَدَّمَهَا لِخَزِينَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ الَّتِي يُشْرِفُ عَلَيْهَا يَحِيئِيلُ الْجَرْشُونِيُّ.

9 Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

٩ وَاغْتَبَطَ الشَّعْبُ بِمَا قَدَّمَهُ عَنْ رِضًى لأَنَّهُمْ تَبَرَّعُوا لِلرَّبِّ بِقَلْبٍ كَامِلٍ، وَابْتَهَجَ الْمَلِكُ أَيْضاً ابْتِهَاجاً شَدِيداً.

10 Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said, "You are blessed, LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

١٠ وَسَبَّحَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ أَمَامَ الْجَمْعِ الْمُحْتَشِدِ قَائِلاً: «لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ أَبِينَا إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.

11 Yours, LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.

١١ لَكَ يَا رَبُّ الْعَظَمَةُ وَالسَّطْوَةُ وَالْجَلالُ وَالْبَهَاءُ وَالْمَجْدُ، لأَنَّ لَكَ كُلَّ مَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ. أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ صَاحِبُ الْمُلْكِ وَقَدْ تَعَالَيْتَ فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِ الْجَمِيعِ.

12 Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and it is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all.

١٢ أَنْتَ مَصْدَرُ كُلِّ غِنىً وَكَرَامَةٍ، وَأَنْتَ الْمُتَسَلِّطُ عَلَى الْجَمِيعِ، وَالْمَالِكُ لِلْقُوَّةِ وَالسَّطْوَةِ، وَأَنْتَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى تَعْظِيمِ الْجَمِيعِ وَتَقْوِيَةِ عَزِيمَتِهِمْ.

13 Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.

١٣ وَالآنَ، نَحْمَدُكَ يَا إِلَهَنَا وَنُسَبِّحُ اسْمَكَ الْجَلِيلَ.

14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.

١٤ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ أَنَا، وَمَنْ هُوَ شَعْبِي حَتَّى نَقْدِرَ أَنْ نَتَبَرَّعَ بِسَخَاءٍ وَعَنْ رِضًى؟ لأَنَّ مِنْكَ الْجَمِيعَ وَمِنْ يَدِكَ نُقَدِّمُ لَكَ.

15 For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

١٥ فَنَحْنُ مِثْلُ آبَائِنَا، غُرَبَاءُ وَنُزَلاءُ أَمَامَكَ، وَأَيَّامُنَا كَالظِّلِّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، خَالِيَةٌ مِنَ الرَّجَاءِ.

16 The LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.

١٦ فَيَا أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، إِنَّ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الثَّرْوَةِ الَّتِي وَفَّرْنَاهَا لِنُشَيِّدَ لَكَ هَيْكَلاً لاِسْمِ قُدْسِكَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ نِعَمِ يَدِكَ وَأَنْتَ مَالِكُ الْكُلِّ.

17 I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now have I seen with joy your people, that are present here, offer willingly to you.

١٧ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ يَا إِلَهِي أَنَّكَ تَفْحَصُ الْقُلُوبَ وَتُسَرُّ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ، وَأَنَا قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ بِقَلْبٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ، كَذَلِكَ رَأَيْتُ شَعْبَكَ الْمَاثِلَ هُنَا يَتَبَرَّعُ عَنْ رِضًى بِابْتِهَاجٍ.

18 The LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

١٨ فَيَا رَبُّ إِلَهَ آبَائِنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، اجْعَلْ هَذِهِ الرَّغْبَةَ أَنْ تَظَلَّ حَيَّةً إِلَى الأَبَدِ فِي قُلُوبِ شَعْبِكَ، وَاحْفَظْ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِتَبْقَى مُخْلِصَةً لَكَ.

19 and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision."

١٩ أَمَّا سُلَيْمَانُ ابْنِي، فَهَبْهُ قَلْباً كَامِلاً لِيُطِيعَ وَصَايَاكَ وَشَهَادَاتِكَ وَفَرَائِضَكَ، وَيَعْمَلَ بِها كُلِّهَا وَلِيَبْنِيَ الْهَيْكَلَ الَّذِي أَعْدَدْتُ لَهُ».

20 David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." All the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before the LORD and the king.

٢٠ ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلْجَمْعِ الْحَاضِرِ: «بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ». فَسَبَّحَ كُلُّ الْجَمْعِ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ وَسَجَدُوا لِلرَّبِّ وَلِلْمَلِكِ.

21 They sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,

٢١ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي قَرَّبُوا لِلرَّبِّ ذَبَائِحَ وَقَدَّمُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ: أَلْفَ ثَوْرٍ، وَأَلْفَ كَبْشٍ، وَأَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ مَعَ سَكَائِبِ خَمْرِهَا، وَذَبَائِحَ أُخْرَى كَثِيرَةً عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

22 and ate and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and they anointed him to the LORD to be prince, and Zadok to be cohen.

٢٢ وَاحْتَفَلُوا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ آكِلِينَ شَارِبِينَ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَبَايَعُوا سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ ثَانِيَةً مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ، وَمَسَحُوهُ لِلرَّبِّ رَئِيساً، وَاخْتَارُوا صَادُوقَ كَاهِناً.

23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

٢٣ وَخَلَفَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُدَ أَبَاهُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ الَّذِي أَسَّسَهُ الرَّبُّ وَأَفْلَحَ وَأَطَاعَهُ كُلُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

24 And all the leaders, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

٢٤ كَمَا أَبْدَى الرُّؤَسَاءُ وَالأَبْطَالُ وَسَائِرُ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ خُضُوعاً تَامّاً لِسُلَيْمَانَ الْمَلِكِ.

25 The LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

٢٥ وَعَظَّمَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ شَأْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي أَعْيُنِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ جَمِيعاً، وأَضْفَى عَلَيْهِ مَهَابَةً مَلَكِيَّةً لَمْ يَحْظَ بِها مَلِكٌ قَبْلَهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

26 Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

٢٦ وَمَلَكَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ يَسَّى عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ

27 The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

٢٧ طَوَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، مِنْهَا سَبْعُ سِنِينَ فِي حَبْرُونَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَلاثاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

28 He died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned in his place.

٢٨ وَمَاتَ بِشَيْخُوخَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ، وَقَدْ شَبِعَ أَيَّاماً وَتَمَتَّعَ بِالْغِنَى وَالْكَرَامَةِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ سُلَيْمَانُ.

29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, look, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,

٢٩ أَمَّا سِيرَةُ دَاوُدَ الْمَلِكِ وَسَائِرُ أَحْدَاثِ حَيَاتِهِ فَقَدْ وَرَدَتْ فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ صَمُوئِيلَ النَّبِيِّ وَأَخْبَارِ نَاثَانَ النَّبِيِّ وَأَخْبَارِ جَادَ النَّبِيِّ.

30 with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.

٣٠ بِمَا فِيهَا مِنْ وَصْفٍ لأُسْلُوبِ حُكْمِهِ وَسَطْوَتِهِ وَالأَحْدَاثِ الَّتِي مَرَّتْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكُلِّ الْمَمَالِكِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ.
