2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
| حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي ٱلضَّبَابِ. | ١ |
2 But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
| وَأَنَا بَنَيْتُ لَكَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَى مَكَانًا لِسُكْنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٢ |
3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
| وَحَوَّلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجْهَهُ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكُلُّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاقِفٌ. | ٣ |
4 He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
| وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِفَمِهِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَأَكْمَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ قَائِلًا: | ٤ |
5 ‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;
| مُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لَمْ أَخْتَرْ مَدِينَةً مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتٍ لِيَكُونَ ٱسْمِي هُنَاكَ، وَلَا ٱخْتَرْتُ رَجُلًا يَكُونُ رَئِيسًا لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ |
6 but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
| بَلِ ٱخْتَرْتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَكُونَ ٱسْمِي فِيهَا، وَٱخْتَرْتُ دَاوُدَ لِيَكُونَ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ |
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
| وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٧ |
8 But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ بِكَوْنِ ذَلِكَ فِي قَلْبِكَ. | ٨ |
9 nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
| إِلَّا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ لَا تَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ، بَلِ ٱبْنُكَ ٱلْخَارِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي ٱلْبَيْتَ لِٱسْمِي. | ٩ |
10 “The LORD has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place 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.
| وَأَقَامَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَهُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَقَدْ قُمْتُ أَنَا مَكَانَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي، وَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَبَنَيْتُ ٱلْبَيْتَ لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ |
11 There I have set the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”
| وَوَضَعْتُ هُنَاكَ ٱلتَّابُوتَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ عَهْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ١١ |
12 He stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands
| وَوَقَفَ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ تُجَاهَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ. | ١٢ |
13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands towards heaven).
| لِأَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ صَنَعَ مِنْبَرًا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ وَجَعَلَهُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلدَّارِ، طُولُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ وَٱرْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلَاثُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ جَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ تُجَاهَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، | ١٣ |
14 Then he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
| وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَا إِلَهَ مِثْلُكَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ، حَافِظُ ٱلْعَهْدِ وَٱلرَّحْمَةِ لِعَبِيدِكَ ٱلسَّائِرِينَ أَمَامَكَ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمُ. | ١٤ |
15 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
| ٱلَّذِي قَدْ حَفِظْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ بِفَمِكَ وأَكْمَلْتَ بِيَدِكَ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٥ |
16 “Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’
| وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱحْفَظْ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ قَائِلًا: لَا يُعْدَمُ لَكَ أَمَامِي رَجُلٌ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِنْ يَكُنْ بَنُوكَ طُرُقَهُمْ يَحْفَظُونَ حَتَّى يَسِيرُوا فِي شَرِيعَتِي كَمَا سِرْتَ أَنْتَ أَمَامِي. | ١٦ |
17 Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.
| وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَلْيَتَحَقَّقْ كَلَامُكَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ دَاوُدَ. | ١٧ |
18 “But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
| لِأَنَّهُ هَلْ يَسْكُنُ ٱللهُ حَقًّا مَعَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ هُوَذَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَسَمَاءُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ لَا تَسَعُكَ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْأَقَلِّ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ! | ١٨ |
19 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
| فَٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَى صَلَاةِ عَبْدِكَ وَإِلَى تَضَرُّعِهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، وَٱسْمَعِ ٱلصُّرَاخَ وَٱلصَّلَاةَ ٱلَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ أَمَامَكَ. | ١٩ |
20 that your eyes may be open towards this house day and night, even towards the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray towards this place.
| لِتَكُونَ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا عَلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتَ إِنَّكَ تَضَعُ ٱسْمَكَ فِيهِ، لِتَسْمَعَ ٱلصَّلَاةَ ٱلَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray towards this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
| وَٱسْمَعْ تَضَرُّعَاتِ عَبْدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِ سُكْنَاكَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ فَٱغْفِرْ. | ٢١ |
22 “If a man sins against his neighbour, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,
| إِنْ أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَوُضِعَ عَلَيْهِ حَلْفٌ لِيُحَلِّفَهُ، وَجَاءَ ٱلْحَلْفُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٢٢ |
23 then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
| فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱعْمَلْ، وَٱقْضِ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ إِذْ تُعَاقِبُ ٱلْمُذْنِبَ فَتَجْعَلُ طَرِيقَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَتُبَرِّرُ ٱلْبَارَّ إِذْ تُعْطِيهِ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 “If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,
| وَإِنِ ٱنْكَسَرَ شَعْبُكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ لِكَوْنِهِمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا وَٱعْتَرَفُوا بِٱسْمِكَ وَصَلَّوْا وَتَضَرَّعُوا أَمَامَكَ نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٢٤ |
25 then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
| فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْجِعْهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لَهُمْ وَلِآبَائِهِمْ. | ٢٥ |
26 “When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray towards this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,
| «إِذَا أُغْلِقَتِ ٱلسَّمَاءُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَطَرٌ لِكَوْنِهِمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّوْا فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ وَٱعْتَرَفُوا بِٱسْمِكَ وَرَجَعُوا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِمْ لِأَنَّكَ ضَايَقْتَهُمْ، | ٢٦ |
27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
| فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَلِّمَهُمُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلصَّالِحَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْلُكُونَ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطِ مَطَرًا عَلَى أَرْضِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِشَعْبِكَ مِيرَاثًا. | ٢٧ |
28 “If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is—
| إِذَا صَارَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ جُوعٌ، إِذَا صَارَ وَبَأٌ أَوْ لَفْحٌ أَوْ يَرَقَانٌ أَوْ جَرَادٌ أَوْ جَرْدَمٌ، أَوْ إِذَا حَاصَرَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ مُدُنِهِمْ، فِي كُلِّ ضَرْبَةٍ وَكُلِّ مَرَضٍ، | ٢٨ |
29 whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands towards this house,
| فَكُلُّ صَلَاةٍ وَكُلُّ تَضَرُّعٍ تَكُونُ مِنْ أَيِّ إِنْسَانٍ كَانَ، أَوْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ضَرْبَتَهُ وَوَجَعَهُ، فَيَبْسُطُ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٢٩ |
30 then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men),
| فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ، وَٱغْفِرْ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ حَسَبَ كُلِّ طُرُقِهِ كَمَا تَعْرِفُ قَلْبَهُ. لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ تَعْرِفُ قُلُوبَ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ. | ٣٠ |
31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
| لِكَيْ يَخَافُوكَ وَيَسِيرُوا فِي طُرُقِكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي يَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لِآبَائِنَا. | ٣١ |
32 “Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray towards this house,
| وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ هُوَ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَدْ جَاءَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَيَدِكَ ٱلْقَوِيَّةِ وَذِرَاعِكَ ٱلْمَمْدُودَةِ، فَمَتَى جَاءُوا وَصَلَّوْا فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ، | ٣٢ |
33 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
| فَٱسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ وَٱفْعَلْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يَدْعُوكَ بِهِ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ، لِكَيْ يَعْلَمَ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱسْمَكَ فَيَخَافُوكَ كَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِكَيْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱسْمَكَ قَدْ دُعِيَ عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ. | ٣٣ |
34 “If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you towards this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
| «إِذَا خَرَجَ شَعْبُكَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَائِهِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي تُرْسِلُهُمْ فِيهِ وَصَلَّوْا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتَهَا، وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ لِٱسْمِكَ، | ٣٤ |
35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
| فَٱسْمَعْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَٱقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ. | ٣٥ |
36 “If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;
| إِذَا أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا يُخْطِئُ، وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَدَفَعْتَهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، وَسَبَاهُمْ سَابُوهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ أَوْ قَرِيبَةٍ، | ٣٦ |
37 yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’
| فَإِذَا رَدُّوا إِلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُسْبَوْنَ إِلَيْهَا، وَرَجَعُوا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا وَعَوَّجْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا، | ٣٧ |
38 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray towards their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and towards the house which I have built for your name;
| وَرَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي سَبَوْهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، وَصَلَّوْا نَحْوَ أَرْضِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتَ، وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي بَنَيْتُ لِٱسْمِكَ، | ٣٨ |
39 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
| فَٱسْمَعْ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَاتِهِمْ، وَٱقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ، وَٱغْفِرْ لِشَعْبِكَ مَا أَخْطَأُوا بِهِ إِلَيْكَ. | ٣٩ |
40 “Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
| ٱلْآنَ يَاإِلَهِي لِتَكُنْ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ، وَأُذُنَاكَ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ لِصَلَاةِ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ. | ٤٠ |
41 “Now therefore arise, LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
| وَٱلْآنَ قُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ إِلَى رَاحَتِكَ أَنْتَ وَتَابُوتُ عِزِّكَ. كَهَنَتُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ يَلْبِسُونَ ٱلْخَلَاصَ، وَأَتْقِيَاؤُكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ. | ٤١ |
42 “LORD God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
| أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، لَا تَرُدَّ وَجْهَ مَسِيحِكَ. ٱذْكُرْ مَرَاحِمَ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ». | ٤٢ |
