1 Chronicles 22

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

١ فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «هَذَا هُوَ بَيْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ مَذْبَحُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ».

2 And David commanded to assemble the strangers that [were] in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

٢ وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ بِجَمْعِ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَقَامَ نَحَّاتِينَ لِنَحْتِ حِجَارَةٍ مُرَبَّعَةٍ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ.

3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

٣ وَهَيَّأَ دَاوُدُ حَدِيدًا كَثِيرًا لِلْمَسَامِيرِ لِمَصَارِيعِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ وَلِلْوُصَلِ، وَنُحَاسًا كَثِيرًا بِلَا وَزْنٍ،

4 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

٤ وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَدَدٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَٱلصُّورِيِّينَ أَتَوْا بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ كَثِيرٍ إِلَى دَاوُدَ.

5 And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender, and the house [that is] to be built for the LORD [must be] very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will [therefore] now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.

٥ وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي صَغِيرٌ وَغَضٌّ، وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي يُبْنَى لِلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ عَظِيمًا جِدًّا فِي ٱلِٱسْمِ وَٱلْمَجْدِ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، فَأَنَا أُهَيِّئُ لَهُ». فَهَيَّأَ دَاوُدُ كَثِيرًا قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ.

6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.

٦ وَدَعَا سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the LORD my God:

٧ وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «يَا ٱبْنِي، قَدْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي.

8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house to my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

٨ فَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: قَدْ سَفَكْتَ دَمًا كَثِيرًا وَعَمِلْتَ حُرُوبًا عَظِيمَةً، فَلَا تَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي لِأَنَّكَ سَفَكْتَ دِمَاءً كَثِيرَةً عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامِي.

9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies around: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

٩ هُوَذَا يُولَدُ لَكَ ٱبْنٌ يَكُونُ صَاحِبَ رَاحَةٍ، وَأُرِيحُهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَهُ يَكُونُ سُلَيْمَانَ. فَأَجْعَلُ سَلَامًا وَسَكِينَةً فِي 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 بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لِيَ ٱبْنًا، وَأَنَا لَهُ أَبًا وَأُثَبِّتُ كُرْسِيَّ مُلْكِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

١١ ٱلْآنَ يَا ٱبْنِي، لِيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ فَتُفْلِحَ وَتَبْنِيَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْكَ.

12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

١٢ إِنَّمَا يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِطْنَةً وَفَهْمًا وَيُوصِيكَ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ لِحِفْظِ شَرِيعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou shalt take heed to fulfill the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

١٣ حِينَئِذٍ تُفْلِحُ إِذَا تَحَفَّظْتَ لِعَمَلِ ٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى لِأَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ.

14 Now behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add to them.

١٤ هَأَنَذَا فِي مَذَلَّتِي هَيَّأْتُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ذَهَبًا مِئَةَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ، وَفِضَّةً أَلْفَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ، وَنُحَاسًا وَحَدِيدًا بِلَا وَزْنٍ لِأَنَّهُ كَثِيرٌ. وَقَدْ هَيَّأْتُ خَشَبًا وَحِجَارَةً فَتَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا.

15 Moreover, [there are] workmen with thee in great numbers, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skillful men for every manner of work.

١٥ وَعِنْدَكَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ عَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ: نَحَّاتِينَ وَبَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ وَكُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ.

16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, [there is] no number. Arise [therefore], and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

١٦ ٱلذَّهَبُ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلنُّحَاسُ وَٱلْحَدِيدُ لَيْسَ لَهَا عَدَدٌ. قُمْ وَٱعْمَلْ، وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ».

17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying],

١٧ وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُسَاعِدُوا سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ:

18 [Is] not the LORD your God with you? and hath he [not] given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

١٨ «أَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مَعَكُمْ، وَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ دَفَعَ لِيَدِي سُكَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَخَضَعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَمَامَ شَعْبِهِ؟

19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise, therefore, and build ye 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 فَٱلْآنَ ٱجْعَلُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ وَأَنْفُسَكُمْ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَقُومُوا وَٱبْنُوا مَقْدِسَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ، لِيُؤْتَى بِتَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبِآنِيَةِ قُدْسِ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي يُبْنَى لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ».
