1 Chronicles 28

1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men to Jerusalem.

١ وَجَمَعَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْفِرَقِ ٱلْخَادِمِينَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْأُلُوفِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْمِئَاتِ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَمْوَالِ وَٱلْأَمْلَاكِ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَلِكِ وَلِبَنِيهِ، مَعَ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ وَٱلْأَبْطَالِ وَكُلِّ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْبَأْسِ، إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

2 Then David the king stood upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:

٢ وَوَقَفَ دَاوُدُ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: «اِسْمَعُونِي يَا إِخْوَتِي وَشَعْبِي. كَانَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ بَيْتَ قَرَارٍ لِتَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلِمَوْطِئِ قَدَمَيْ إِلَهِنَا، وَقَدْ هَيَّأْتُ لِلْبِنَاءِ.

3 But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast shed blood.

٣ وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ قَالَ لِي: لَا تَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجُلُ حُرُوبٍ وَقَدْ سَفَكْتَ دَمًا.

4 However the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he approved me to make [me] king over all Israel:

٤ وَقَدِ ٱخْتَارَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَيْتِ أَبِي لِأَكُونَ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا ٱخْتَارَ يَهُوذَا رَئِيسًا، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا بَيْتَ أَبِي، وَمِنْ بَنِي أَبِي سُرَّ بِي لِيُمَلِّكَنِي عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

5 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons, ) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

٥ وَمِنْ كُلِّ بَنِيَّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَعْطَانِي بَنِينَ كَثِيرِينَ، إِنَّماَ ٱخْتَارَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي لِيَجْلِسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ مَمْلَكَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

6 And he said to me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] my son, and I will be his father.

٦ وَقَالَ لِي: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتِي وَدِيَارِي، لِأَنِّي ٱخْتَرْتُهُ لِي ٱبْنًا، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُ أَبًا،

7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he shall be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

٧ وَأُثَبِّتُ مَمْلَكَتَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ إِذَا تَشَدَّدَ لِلْعَمَلِ حَسَبَ وَصَايَايَ وَأَحْكَامِي كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

٨ وَٱلْآنَ فِي أَعْيُنِ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَحْفَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَفِي سَمَاعِ إِلَهِنَا، ٱحْفَظُوا وَٱطْلُبُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ لِكَيْ تَرِثُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ وَتُوَرِّثُوهَا لِأَوْلَادِكُمْ بَعْدَكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou shalt forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

٩ وَأَنْتَ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ ٱبْنِي، ٱعْرِفْ إِلَهَ أَبِيكَ وَٱعْبُدْهُ بِقَلْبٍ كَامِلٍ وَنَفْسٍ رَاغِبَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَفْحَصُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْقُلُوبِ، وَيَفْهَمُ كُلَّ تَصَوُّرَاتِ ٱلْأَفْكَارِ. فَإِذَا طَلَبْتَهُ يُوجَدُ مِنْكَ، وَإِذَا تَرَكْتَهُ يَرْفُضُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].

١٠ اُنْظُرِ ٱلْآنَ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدِ ٱخْتَارَكَ لِتَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِلْمَقْدِسِ، فَتَشَدَّدْ وَٱعْمَلْ».

11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses of it, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner parlors, and of the place of the mercy-seat,

١١ وَأَعْطَى دَاوُدُ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ مِثَالَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَبُيُوتِهِ وَخَزَائِنِهِ وَعَلَالِيِّهِ وَمَخَادِعِهِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ وَبَيْتِ ٱلْغِطَاءِ،

12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:

١٢ وَمِثَالَ كُلِّ مَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ بِٱلرُّوحِ لِدِيَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ حَوَالَيْهِ، وَلِخَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ وَخَزَائِنِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ،

13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

١٣ وَلِفِرَقِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، وَلِكُلِّ عَمَلِ خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِكُلِّ آنِيَةِ خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

14 [He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:

١٤ فَمِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ بِٱلْوَزْنِ لِمَا هُوَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، لِكُلِّ آنِيَةِ خِدْمَةٍ فَخِدْمَةٍ، وَلِجَمِيعِ آنِيَةِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ فِضَّةً بِٱلْوَزْنِ، لِكُلِّ آنِيَةِ خِدْمَةٍ فَخِدْمَةٍ.

15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick.

١٥ وَبِٱلْوَزْنِ لِمَنَائِرِ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَسُرُجِهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بِٱلْوَزْنِ لِكُلِّ مَنَارَةٍ فَمَنَارَةٍ وَسُرُجِهَا، وَلِمَنَائِرِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ بِٱلْوَزْنِ لِكُلِّ مَنَارَةٍ وَسُرُجِهَا حَسَبَ خِدْمَةِ مَنَارَةٍ فَمَنَارَةٍ.

16 And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of show-bread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver:

١٦ وَذَهَبًا بِٱلْوَزْنِ لِمَوَائِدِ خُبْزِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ لِكُلِّ مَائِدَةٍ فَمَائِدَةٍ، وَفِضَّةً لِمَوَائِدِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ.

17 Also pure gold for the flesh-hooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight for every basin; and [likewise silver] by weight for every basin of silver:

١٧ وَذَهَبًا خَالِصًا لِلْمَنَاشِلِ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحِ وَٱلْكُؤُوسِ. وَلِأَقْدَاحِ ٱلذَّهَبِ بِٱلْوَزْنِ لِقَدَحٍ فَقَدَحٍ، وَلِأَقْدَاحِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ بِٱلْوَزْنِ لِقَدَحٍ فَقَدَحٍ.

18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

١٨ وَلِمَذْبَحِ ٱلْبَخُورِ ذَهَبًا مُصَفًّى بِٱلْوَزْنِ، وَذَهَبًا لِمِثَالِ مَرْكَبَةِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمِ ٱلْبَاسِطَةِ أَجْنِحَتَهَا ٱلْمُظَلِّلَةِ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

19 All [this], [said David], the LORD made me understand in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.

١٩ «قَدْ أَفْهَمَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ بِٱلْكِتَابَةِ بِيَدِهِ عَلَيَّ، أَيْ كُلَّ أَشْغَالِ ٱلْمِثَالِ».

20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

٢٠ وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ: «تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ وَٱعْمَلْ. لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ إِلَهِي مَعَكَ. لَا يَخْذُلُكَ وَلَا يَتْرُكُكَ حَتَّى تُكَمِّلَ كُلَّ عَمَلِ خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

21 And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at thy command.

٢١ وَهُوَذَا فِرَقُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ لِكُلِّ خِدْمَةِ، بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. وَمَعَكَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ كُلُّ نَبِيهٍ بِحِكْمَةٍ لِكُلِّ خِدْمَةٍ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ أَوَامِرِكَ».
