I Kings 8

حِينَئِذٍ جَمَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكُلَّ رُؤُوسِ الأَسْبَاطِ، رُؤَسَاءَ الآبَاءِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لإِصْعَادِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، هِيَ صِهْيَوْنُ.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْعِيدِ فِي شَهْرِ أَيْثَانِيمَ، هُوَ الشَّهْرُ السَّابعُ.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَمَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ التَّابُوتَ.
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
وَأَصْعَدُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ وَخَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ آنِيَةِ الْقُدْسِ الَّتِي فِي الْخَيْمَةِ، فَأَصْعَدَهَا الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ.
And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
وَالْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ إِلَيْهِ مَعَهُ أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ، كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ مَا لاَ يُحْصَى وَلاَ يُعَدُّ مِنَ الْكَثْرَةِ.
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
وَأَدْخَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فِي مِحْرَابِ الْبَيْتِ فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، إِلَى تَحْتِ جَنَاحَيِ الْكَرُوبَيْنِ،
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.
لأَنَّ الْكَرُوبَيْنِ بَسَطَا أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا عَلَى مَوْضِعِ التَّابُوتِ، وَظَلَّلَ الْكَرُوبَانِ التَّابُوتَ وَعِصِيَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ.
For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
وَجَذَبُوا الْعِصِيَّ فَتَرَاءَتْ رُؤُوسُ الْعِصِيِّ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ أَمَامَ الْمِحْرَابِ وَلَمْ تُرَ خَارِجًا، وَهِيَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ.
And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي التَّابُوتِ إِلاَّ لَوْحَا الْحَجَرِ اللَّذَانِ وَضَعَهُمَا مُوسَى هُنَاكَ فِي حُورِيبَ حِينَ عَاهَدَ الرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ الْكَهَنَةُ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ أَنَّ السَّحَابَ مَلأَ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ،
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الْكَهَنَةُ أَنْ يَقِفُوا لِلْخِدْمَةِ بِسَبَبِ السَّحَابِ، لأَنَّ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ مَلأَ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ.
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
حِينَئِذٍ تَكَلَّمَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي الضَّبَابِ.
Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
إِنِّي قَدْ بَنَيْتُ لَكَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَى، مَكَانًا لِسُكْنَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».
I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
وَحَوَّلَ الْمَلِكُ وَجْهَهُ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكُلُّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاقِفٌ.
And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِفَمِهِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَأَكْمَلَ بِيَدِهِ قَائِلاً:
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
مُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَمْ أَخْتَرْ مَدِينَةً مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتٍ لِيَكُونَ اسْمِي هُنَاكَ، بَلِ إِنَّمَا اخْتَرْتُ دَاوُدَ لِيَكُونَ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لاسْمِي، قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ بِكَوْنِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ.
And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
إِلاَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ لاَ تَبْنِي الْبَيْتَ، بَلِ ابْنُكَ الْخَارِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي الْبَيْتَ لاسْمِي.
Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
وَأَقَامَ الرَّبُّ كَلاَمَهُ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَقَدْ قُمْتُ أَنَا مَكَانَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ، وَبَنَيْتُ الْبَيْتَ لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،
And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and 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 an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
وَجَعَلْتُ هُنَاكَ مَكَانًا لِلتَّابُوتِ الَّذِي فِيهِ عَهْدُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ آبَائِنَا عِنْدَ إِخْرَاجِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ».
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
وَوَقَفَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ تُجَاهَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ
And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
وَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَيْسَ إِلهٌ مِثْلَكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَلاَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، حَافِظُ الْعَهْدِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ لِعَبِيدِكَ السَّائِرِينَ أَمَامَكَ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ.
And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
الَّذِي قَدْ حَفِظْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ بِفَمِكَ وَأَكْمَلْتَ بِيَدِكَ كَهذَا الْيَوْمِ.
Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ احْفَظْ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ قَائِلاً: لاَ يُعْدَمُ لَكَ أَمَامِي رَجُلٌ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِنْ كَانَ بَنُوكَ إِنَّماَ يَحْفَظُونَ طُرُقَهُمْ حَتَّى يَسِيرُوا أَمَامِي كَمَا سِرْتَ أَنْتَ أَمَامِي.
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
وَالآنَ يَا إِلهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلْيَتَحَقَّقْ كَلاَمُكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي.
And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
لأَنَّهُ هَلْ يَسْكُنُ اللهُ حَقًّا عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟ هُوَذَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَسَمَاءُ السَّمَاوَاتِ لاَ تَسَعُكَ، فَكَمْ بِالأَقَلِّ هذَا الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُ؟
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
فَالْتَفِتْ إِلَى صَلاَةِ عَبْدِكَ وَإِلَى تَضَرُّعِهِ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهِي، وَاسْمَعِ الصُّرَاخَ وَالصَّلاَةَ الَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ أَمَامَكَ الْيَوْمَ.
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 to day:
لِتَكُونَ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ عَلَى هذَا الْبَيْتِ لَيْلاً وَنَهَارًا، عَلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي قُلْتَ: إِنَّ اسْمِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ، لِتَسْمَعَ الصَّلاَةَ الَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ فِي هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ.
That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.
وَاسْمَعْ تَضَرُّعَ عَبْدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، وَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ فِي مَوْضِعِ سُكْنَاكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ فَاغْفِرْ.
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
إِذَا أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ حَلْفًا لِيُحَلِّفَهُ، وَجَاءَ الْحَلْفُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِكَ فِي هذَا الْبَيْتِ،
If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:
فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَاعْمَلْ وَاقْضِ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ، إِذْ تَحْكُمُ عَلَى الْمُذْنِبِ فَتَجْعَلُ طَرِيقَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَتُبَرِّرُ الْبَارَّ إِذْ تُعْطِيهِ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ.
Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
إِذَا انْكَسَرَ شَعْبُكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَمَامَ الْعَدُوِّ لأَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ وَاعْتَرَفُوا بِاسْمِكَ وَصَلَّوْا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ هذَا الْبَيْتِ،
When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْجِعْهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لآبَائِهِمْ.
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
«إِذَا أُغْلِقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَطَرٌ، لأَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّوْا فِي هذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَاعْتَرَفُوا بِاسْمِكَ، وَرَجَعُوا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِمْ لأَنَّكَ ضَايَقْتَهُمْ،
When 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 afflictest them:
فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَلِّمَهُمُ الطَّرِيقَ الصَّالِحَ الَّذِي يَسْلُكُونَ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطِ مَطَرًا عَلَى أَرْضِكَ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِشَعْبِكَ مِيرَاثًا.
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
إِذَا صَارَ فِي الأَرْضِ جُوعٌ، إِذَا صَارَ وَبَأٌ، إِذَا صَارَ لَفْحٌ أَوْ يَرَقَانٌ أَوْ جَرَادٌ جَرْدَمٌ، أَوْ إِذَا حَاصَرَهُ عَدُوُّهُ فِي أَرْضِ مُدُنِهِ، فِي كُلِّ ضَرْبَةٍ وَكُلِّ مَرَضٍ،
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
فَكُلُّ صَلاَةٍ وَكُلُّ تَضَرُّعٍ تَكُونُ مِنْ أَيِّ إِنْسَانٍ كَانَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، الَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ضَرْبَةَ قَلْبِهِ، فَيَبْسُطُ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ هذَا الْبَيْتِ،
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ وَاغْفِرْ، وَاعْمَلْ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ حَسَبَ كُلِّ طُرُقِهِ كَمَا تَعْرِفُ قَلْبَهُ. لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ قُلُوبَ كُلِّ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ،
Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
لِكَيْ يَخَافُوكَ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي يَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لآبَائِنَا.
That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
وَكَذلِكَ الأَجْنَبِيُّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ، وَجَاءَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ،
Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;
لأَنَّهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِيَدِكَ الْقَوِيَّةِ وَذِرَاعِكَ الْمَمْدُودَةِ، فَمَتَى جَاءَ وَصَلَّى فِي هذَا الْبَيْتِ،
(For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ، وَافْعَلْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَيْكَ الأَجْنَبِيُّ، لِكَيْ يَعْلَمَ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ اسْمَكَ، فَيَخَافُوكَ كَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِكَيْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ دُعِيَ اسْمُكَ عَلَى هذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُ.
Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
«إِذَا خَرَجَ شَعْبُكَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَدُوِّهِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي تُرْسِلُهُمْ فِيهِ، وَصَلَّوْا إِلَى الرَّبِّ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَهَا وَالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ لاسْمِكَ،
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
فَاسْمَعْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ صَلاَتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَاقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ.
Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
إِذَا أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ لاَ يُخْطِئُ، وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَدَفَعْتَهُمْ أَمَامَ الْعَدُوِّ وَسَبَاهُمْ، سَابُوهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ، بَعِيدَةً أَوْ قَرِيبَةً،
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 captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
فَإِذَا رَدُّوا إِلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يُسْبَوْنَ إِلَيْهَا وَرَجَعُوا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا وَعَوَّجْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا.
Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
وَرَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فِي أَرْضِ أَعْدَائِهِمُِ الَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ، وَصَلَّوْا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ أَرْضِهِمُِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لآبَائِهِمْ، نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَ وَالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُ لاسْمِكَ،
And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
فَاسْمَعْ فِي السَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ صَلاَتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَاقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ،
Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
وَاغْفِرْ لِشَعْبِكَ مَا أَخْطَأُوا بِهِ إِلَيْكَ، وَجَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِهِمِ الَّتِي أَذْنَبُوا بِهَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَعْطِهِمْ رَحْمَةً أَمَامَ الَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ فَيَرْحَمُوهُمْ،
And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبُكَ وَمِيرَاثُكَ الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنْ وَسَطِ كُورِ الْحَدِيدِ.
For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
لِتَكُونَ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ نَحْوَ تَضَرُّعِ عَبْدِكَ وَتَضَرُّعِ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُصْغِيَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا يَدْعُونَكَ،
That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَفْرَزْتَهُمْ لَكَ مِيرَاثًا مِنْ جَمِيعِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عَبْدِكَ عِنْدَ إِخْرَاجِكَ آبَاءَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ يَاسَيِّدِي الرَّبَّ».
For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا انْتَهَى سُلَيْمَانُ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ هذِهِ الصَّلاَةِ وَالتَّضَرُّعِ، أَنَّهُ نَهَضَ مِنْ أَمَامِ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ، مِنَ الْجُثُوِّ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَيَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ،
And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
وَوَقَفَ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِصَوْتٍ عَال قَائِلاً:
And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
«مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَعْطَى رَاحَةً لِشَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَلَمْ تَسْقُطْ كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ كُلِّ كَلاَمِهِ الصَّالِحِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عَبْدِهِ.
Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا مَعَنَا كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ آبَائِنَا فَلاَ يَتْرُكَنَا وَلاَ يَرْفُضَنَا.
The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
لِيَمِيلَ بِقُلُوبِنَا إِلَيْهِ لِكَيْ نَسِيرَ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ وَنَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا آبَاءَنَا.
That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
وَلِيَكُنْ كَلاَمِي هذَا الَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتُ بِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ قَرِيبًا مِنَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا نَهَارًا وَلَيْلاً، لِيَقْضِيَ قَضَاءَ عَبْدِهِ وَقَضَاءَ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِهِ.
And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
لِيَعْلَمَ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ اللهُ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ.
That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
فَلِْيَكُنْ قَلْبُكُمْ كَامِلاً لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا إِذْ تَسِيرُونَ فِي فَرَائِضِهِ وَتَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَاهُ كَهذَا الْيَوْمِ».
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ وَجَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ ذَبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
وَذَبَحَ سُلَيْمَانُ ذَبَائِحَ السَّلاَمَةِ الَّتِي ذَبَحَهَا لِلرَّبِّ: مِنَ الْبَقَرِ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا، وَمِنَ الْغَنَمِ مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا، فَدَشَّنَ الْمَلِكُ وَجَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ.
And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَدَّسَ الْمَلِكُ وَسَطَ الدَّارِ الَّتِي أَمَامَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ قَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَالتَّقْدِمَاتِ وَشَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِ السَّلاَمَةِ، لأَنَّ مَذْبَحَ النُّحَاسِ الَّذِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَانَ صَغِيرًا عَنْ أَنْ يَسَعَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَالتَّقْدِمَاتِ وَشَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِ السَّلاَمَةِ.
The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
وَعَيَّدَ سُلَيْمَانُ الْعِيدَ فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ، جُمْهُورٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي مِصْرَ، أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَسَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا.
And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ صَرَفَ الشَّعْبَ، فَبَارَكُوا الْمَلِكَ وَذَهَبُوا إِلَى خِيَمِهِمْ فَرِحِينَ وَطَيِّبِي الْقُلُوبِ، لأَجْلِ كُلِّ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي عَمِلَ الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِهِ وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِهِ.
On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
