< 2 Chronicles 1 >

1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God [was] with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
وَأَمْسَكَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بِزِمَامِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ بِكُلِّ حَزْمٍ وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُ مَعَهُ، وَأَضْفَى عَلَيْهِ عَظَمَةً بَالِغَةً.١
2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
وَخَاطَبَ سُلَيْمَانُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَاءِ الأُلُوفِ وَالْمِئَاتِ وَالْقُضَاةَ وَكُلَّ رَئِيسٍ مِنْ رُؤُوسِ عَائِلاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،٢
3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that [was] at Gibeon: for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
طَالِباً إِلَيْهِمْ مُرَافَقَتَهُ إِلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَةِ الَّتِي فِي جِبْعُونَ حَيْثُ نُصِبَتْ خَيْمَةُ الاجْتِمَاعِ، خَيْمَةُ اللهِ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ.٣
4 But the ark of God David had brought up from Kirjath-jearim to [the place which] David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
أَمَّا تَابُوتُ الرَّبِّ فَقَدْ أَصْعَدَهُ دَاوُدُ مِنْ قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ الَّتِي هَيَّأَهَا لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.٤
5 Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought to it.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَذْبَحَ النُّحَاسِ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ بَصَلْئِيلُ بْنُ أُورِي بْنِ حُورَ، كَانَ قَائِماً أَمَامَ مَسْكَنِ الرَّبِّ، فَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ سُلَيْمَانُ وَمُرَافِقُوهُ لِيُقَرِّبُوا عَلَيْهِ.٥
6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which [was] at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
وَأَصْعَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَلْفَ مُحْرَقَةٍ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ النُّحَاسِ الَّذِي فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.٦
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ ظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لِسُلَيْمَانَ وَسَأَلَهُ: «مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ؟»٧
8 And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shown great mercy to David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
فَأَجَابَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «لَقَدْ أَسْدَيْتَ إِلَى أَبِي إِحْسَاناً عَظِيماً وَجَعَلْتَنِي مَلِكاً خَلَفاً لَهُ.٨
9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
فَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ لِيَتِمَّ وَعْدُكَ الَّذِي وَعَدْتَ بِهِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ، لأَنَّكَ وَلَّيْتَنِي حُكْمَ شَعْبٍ كَثِيرٍ كَتُرَابِ الأَرْضِ.٩
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy great people?
فَهَبْنِي حِكْمَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً لأَقُودَ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ، لأَنَّهُ مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَحْكُمَ شَعْبَكَ الْعَظِيمَ هَذَا؟»١٠
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thy enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
فَقَالَ اللهُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ قَدْ عَزَمْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ عَلَى طَلَبِ هَذَا الأَمْرِ، وَلَمْ تَنْشُدْ غِنىً، وَلا أَمْوَالاً، وَلا عَظَمَةً، وَلا الانْتِقَامَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ، وَلَمْ تَطْلُبْ حَيَاةً طَوِيلَةً، بَلْ سَأَلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ حِكْمَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً لِتَحْكُمَ بِهِمَا شَعْبِي الَّذِي مَلَّكْتُكَ عَلَيْهِ،١١
12 Wisdom and knowledge [are] granted to thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that [have been] before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
فَإِنَّنِي أَهَبُكَ حِكْمَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً، وَأُنْعِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِالْغِنَى وَالْمَالِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ، بِحَيْثُ لَا يُضَاهِيكَ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ السَّابِقِينَ وَلا اللَّاحِقِينَ».١٢
13 Then Solomon came [from his journey] to the high place that [was] at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْ مُرْتَفَعَةِ جِبْعُونَ مِنْ أَمَامِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَلَكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٣
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
وَبَنَى لِنَفْسِهِ قُوَّةً تَتَأَلَّفُ مِنْ أَلْفٍ وَأَرْبَعِ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ، وَاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ، وَزَّعَهَا عَلَى مُدُنِ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ، وَأَبْقَى بَعْضاً مِنْهَا مَعَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.١٤
15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem [as plenteous] as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that [are] in the vale for abundance.
وَلِفَرْطِ مَا تَوَافَرَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، جَعَلَ الْمَلِكُ قِيمَتَهَا كَقِيمَةِ الْحِجَارَةِ، وَأَصْبَحَ خَشَبُ الأَرْزِ فِي قِيمَةِ خَشَبِ الْجُمَّيْزِ الَّذِي فِي الْحَقْلِ لِكَثْرَتِهِ.١٥
16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
وَقَدِ اسْتُوْرِدَتْ خُيُولُ سُلَيْمَانَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَمِنْ كُوِي، فَكَانَ تُجَّارُ الْمَلِكِ يَشْتَرُونَهَا مِنْ كُوِي.١٦
17 And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so they brought out [horses] for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
وَكَذَلِكَ الْمَرْكَبَاتُ؛ وَكَانُوا يَدْفَعُونَ سِتَّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامَاتٍ) مِنَ الْفِّضَّةِ عَنْ كُلِّ مَرْكَبَةٍ، وَمِئَةً وَخَمْسِينَ عَنْ كُلِّ فَرَسٍ (نَحْوَ كِيلُو جِرَامَيْنِ)، وَكَانُوا يُصَدِّرُونَهَا أَيْضاً لِجَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ الْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالآرَامِيِّينَ.١٧
