2 Chronicles 6
1 Then spake Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي الضَّبَابِ. | ١ |
2 But I have built thee an house of habitation, and a place for thee to dwell in for ever.
| وَلَكِنِّي بَنَيْتُ هَيْكَلاً رَائِعاً، مَقَرّاً لِسُكْنَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». | ٢ |
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
| ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمَاثِلِ هُنَاكَ وَبَارَكَهُمْ، | ٣ |
4 And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
| وَقَالَ: «تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي حَقَّقَ الْيَوْمَ مَا وَعَدَ بِهِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي قَائِلاً: | ٤ |
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel:
| مُنْذُ أَنْ أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَمْ أَخْتَرْ مَدِينَةً مِنْ بَيْنِ مُدُنِ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ اسْمِي هُنَاكَ، وَلا اصْطَفَيْتُ رَجُلاً يَمْلِكُ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ | ٥ |
6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
| سِوَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَكُونَ اسْمِي فِيهَا، وَدَاوُدَ لِيَحْكُمَ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ |
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
| وَقَدْ نَوَى أَبِي دَاوُدُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلاً لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ |
8 But the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart:
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: لَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ إِذْ نَوَيْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ لِي هَيْكَلاً. | ٨ |
9 nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
| لَكِنْ لَسْتَ أَنْتَ مَنْ يَبْنِيهِ، بَلِ ابْنُكَ الْخَارِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي الْهَيْكَلَ لاِسْمِي. | ٩ |
10 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
| وَأَوْفَى الرَّبُّ بِمَا وَعَدَ، فَخَلَفْتُ أَنَا دَاوُدَ أَبِي عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ، وَأَقَمْتُ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ |
11 And there have I set the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with the children of Israel.
| وَوَضَعْتُ فِيهِ التَّابُوتَ الَّذِي يَضُمُّ عَهْدَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١١ |
12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
| وَانْتَصَبَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ، فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ، | ١٢ |
13 (for Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven: )
| لأَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ كَانَ قَدْ صَنَعَ مِنْبَراً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ أَقَامَهُ فِي وَسَطِ الدَّارِ، طُولُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلاثُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ أَوَّلاً، ثُمَّ جَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، | ١٣ |
14 and he said, O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in the heaven, or in the earth; who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their heart:
| وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ نَظِيرَكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تُحَافِظُ عَلَى عَهْدِ الرَّحْمَةِ مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ السَّائِرِينَ أَمَامَكَ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ، | ١٤ |
15 who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
| هَا قَدْ حَقَّقْتَ الْيَوْمَ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ كُلَّ مَا وَعَدْتَهُ بِهِ، | ١٥ |
16 Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as thou hast walked before me.
| وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْفِ بِمَا وَعَدْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ أبِي دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: إِنْ حَذَا أَوْلادُكَ حَذْوَكَ، وَمَارَسُوا شَرِيعَتِي أَمَامِي، فَلَنْ يَخْلُوَ يَوْماً عَرْشُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٦ |
17 Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David.
| وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَتَحَقَّقْ وَعْدُكَ هَذَا الَّذِي قَطَعْتَهُ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ |
18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have builded!
| لأَنَّهُ هَلْ يَسْكُنُ اللهُ حَقّاً مَعَ الإِنْسَانِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟ إِنْ كَانَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ بَلِ السَّمَاوَاتُ الْعُلَى لَا تَسَعُكَ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى هَذَا الْهَيْكَلُ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُ! | ١٨ |
19 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
| فَأَصْغِ إِلَى ابْتِهَالِ عَبْدِكَ وَإِلَى تَضَرُّعِهِ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، وَاسْتَجِبْ إِلَى اسْتِغَاثَتِي وَالصَّلاةِ الَّتِي يَرْفَعُهَا عَبْدُكَ أَمَامَكَ. | ١٩ |
20 that thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
| لِتَظَلَّ عَيْنَاكَ تَرْعَيَانِ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً، هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ عَنْهُ إِنَّكَ تَضَعُ اسْمَكَ فِيهِ، لِتَسْتَمِعَ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ الَّتِي يِتَضَرَّعُ بِها عَبْدُكَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ. | ٢٠ |
21 And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
| وَأَنْصِتْ لاِبْتِهَالاتِ عَبْدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ فِي مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَمَتَى سَمِعْتَ فَاغْفِرْ (إِثْمَنَا) | ٢١ |
22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come [and] swear before thine altar in this house:
| إِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَأَوْجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْيَمِينَ لِيُحَلِّفَهُ، فَحَضَرَ لِيَحْلِفَ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِكَ فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٢٢ |
23 then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
| فَاسْتَمِعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاعْمَلْ وَاقْضِ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ، إِذْ تَدِينُ الْمُذْنِبَ، فَتُعَاقِبُهُ عَلَى شَرِّهِ وَتُنْصِفُ الْبَارَّ وَتُنْعِمُ عَلَيْهِ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And if thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house:
| وَإذَا انْهَزَمَ شَعْبُكَ أَمَامَ عَدُوِّهِمْ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطِيئَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِاسْمِكَ وَصَلُّوا مُتَضَرِّعِينَ إِلَيْكَ فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٢٤ |
25 then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
| فَاسْتَجِبْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاصْفَحْ عَنْ خَطِيئَةِ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْجِعْهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ. | ٢٥ |
26 When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them:
| إِذَا أُغْلِقَتْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَانْحَبَسَ الْمَطَرُ لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ قَدْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ مُعْتَرِفاً بِاسْمِكَ وَارْتَدَّ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ لأَنَّكَ أَنْزَلْتَ بِهِ الْبَلاءَ. | ٢٦ |
27 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
| فَاسْتَجِبْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاصْفَحْ عَنْ خَطِيئَةِ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَلِّمْهُمْ سُبُلَ الْعَيْشِ بِاسْتِقَامَةٍ، وَأَمْطِرْ غَيْثاً عَلَى أَرْضِكَ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا مِيرَاثاً لِشَعْبِكَ. | ٢٧ |
28 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpiller; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague or whatsoever sickness there be;
| وَإِنْ أَصَابَتِ الأَرْضَ مَجَاعَةٌ، أَوْ تَفَشَّى فِيهَا وَبَأٌ، أَوِ اعْتَرَتْهَا آفَاتٌ زِرَاعِيَّةٌ أَوْ جَفَافٌ، أَوْ غَزَاهَا الْجَرَادُ وَالْجُنْدُبُ، أَوْ إِذَا حَاصَرَ الشَّعْبَ عَدُوٌّ فِي مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ مُدُنِهِ، أَوْ حَلَّتْ بِهِ كَارِثَةٌ أَوْ مَرَضٌ، | ٢٨ |
29 what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:
| فَحِينَ يُصَلِّي أَوْ يَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ أَوْ شَعْبُكَ كُلُّهُ مُعْتَرِفاً بِخَطِيئَتِهِ وَبَاسِطاً يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ | ٢٩ |
30 then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men; )
| اسْتَجِبْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ، وَاصْفَحْ وَجَازِ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِهِ، لأَنَّكَ تَعْرِفُ قَلْبَهُ، فَأَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ الْمُطَّلِعُ عَلَى دَخَائِلِ النَّاسِ، | ٣٠ |
31 that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
| لِكَيْ يَتَّقُوكَ وَيَسْلُكُوا فِي سُبُلِكَ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي يَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا لِآبَائِنَا. | ٣١ |
32 Moreover concerning the stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; when they shall come and pay toward this house:
| وَمَتَى جَاءَ الْغَرِيبُ الَّذِي لَا يَنْتَمِي إِلَى شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَالَّذِي قَدِمَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، وَلأَجْلِ مَا أَجْرَتْهُ يَدُكَ الْقَوِيَّةُ وَذِرَاعُكَ الْمُقْتَدِرَةُ، وَصَلَّى فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٣٢ |
33 then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built, is called by thy name.
| فَاسْتَجِبْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ، وَافْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا يُنَاشِدُكَ بِهِ الْغَرِيبُ لِيُذَاعَ اسْمُكَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، فَيَخَافُوكَ كَمَا يَخَافُكَ شَعْبُكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَلِيُدْرِكُوا أَنَّ اسْمَكَ قَدْ دُعِيَ عَلَى هَذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ. | ٣٣ |
34 If thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
| وَإذَا خَرَجَ شَعْبُكَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَدُوٍّ فِي أَيِّ مَكَانٍ تُرْسِلُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَصَلُّوا إِلَيْكَ مُتَوَجِّهِينَ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَهَا وَالْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ لاِسْمِكَ، | ٣٤ |
35 then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
| فَاسْتَجِبْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ صَلاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ، وَانْصُرْ قَضِيَّتَهُمْ. | ٣٥ |
36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto a land far off or near;
| وَإذَا أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، إِذْ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا يَأْثَمُ، وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَسْلَمْتَهُمْ لِلْعَدُوِّ، فَسَبَاهُمْ آسِرُوهُمْ إِلَى دِيَارِهِمْ، بَعِيدَةً كَانَتْ أَمْ قَرِيبَةً، | ٣٦ |
37 yet if they shall bethink themselves, in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;
| فَإِنْ تَابُوا فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ، وَرَجِعُوا مُتَضَرِّعِينَ إِلَيْكَ قَائِلِينَ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا وَانْحَرَفْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا، | ٣٧ |
38 if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
| وَتَابُوا حَقّاً مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَهُمْ فِي دِيَارِ آسِرِيهِمْ، وَصَلُّوا إِلَيْكَ مُتَوَجِّهِينَ نَحْوَ أَرْضِهِمِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَهَا وَالْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ لاسْمِكَ، | ٣٨ |
39 then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause; and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.
| فَاسْتَجِبْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ، صَلاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ، وَانْصُرْ قَضِيَّتَهُمْ، وَاصْفَحْ عَنْ خَطِيئَةِ شَعْبِكَ. | ٣٩ |
40 Now, O my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place.
| لِتَكُنْ يَا إِلَهِي عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ وَأُذُنَاكَ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ لِلصَّلاةِ الْمَرْفُوعَةِ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ. | ٤٠ |
41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
| وَالآنَ، انْهَضْ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ إِلَى مَكَانِ رَاحَتِكَ، أَنْتَ وَالتَّابُوتُ رَمْزُ عِزَّتِكَ. لِيَرْتَدِ، أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ، كَهَنَتُكَ ثَوْبَ خَلاصِكَ، وَلْيَبْتَهِجْ أَتْقِيَاؤُكَ بِالْخَيْرِ. | ٤١ |
42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
| أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ، لَا تَرْفُضِ الْمَلِكَ، وَاذْكُرْ رَحْمَتَكَ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَ بِها دَاوُدَ عَبْدَكَ». | ٤٢ |
