1 Chronicles 22

1 Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the LORD God, as well as the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

1 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «هُنَا يَكُونُ مَكَانُ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ، وَهُنَا يُشَيَّدُ مَذْبَحُ مُحْرَقَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

2 So David gave orders to gather the foreigners in the land of Israel, from whom he appointed stonecutters to prepare finished stones for building the house of God.

2 وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ بِحَشْدِ كُلِّ الأَجَانِبِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَلَّفَ النَّحَّاتِينَ مِنْهُمْ بِنَحْتِ حِجَارَةٍ مُرَبَّعَةٍ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ اللهِ.

3 David provided a large quantity of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, together with more bronze than could be weighed

3 وَأَعَدَّ دَاوُدُ حَدِيداً كَثِيراً لِعَمَلِ مَسَامِيرَ لِمَصَارِيعِ الأَبْوَابِ وَالْوُصَلِ، وَنُحَاساً وَفِيراً يَتَعَذَّرُ وَزْنُهُ،

4 and more cedar logs than could be counted; for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs to David.

4 وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ، لَا يُمْكِنُ إِحْصَاؤُهُ، لأَنَّ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَالصُّورِيِّينَ حَمَلُوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ كَمِّيَّاتٍ هَائِلَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ الأَرْزِ.

5 And David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent—famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore I must make preparations for it.” So David made lavish preparations before his death.

5 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «إِنَّ ابْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ مَا بَرِحَ صَغِيراً وَغَضّاً، وَالْبَيْتُ الَّذِي يُبْنَى لِلرَّبِّ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَاِئعَ الشُّهْرَةِ مُعَظَّماً فِي جَمِيعِ الأَرَاضِي، فَعَلَيَّ أَنْ أُجَهِّزَ لَهُ مِنَ الآنَ مَوَادَّ الْبِنَاءِ». وَهَكَذَا جَهَّزَ دَاوُدُ كُلَّ مَا أَمْكَنَهُ مِنْ مَوَادِّ الْبِنَاءِ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ.

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

6 ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى ابْنَهُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأَوْصَاهُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 “My son,” said David to Solomon, “it was in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God,

7 وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «يَا بُنَيَّ، كَانَ فِي نِيَّتِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلاً لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِي.

8 but this word of the LORD came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for My Name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before Me.

8 وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ خَاطَبَنِي قَائِلاً: لَقَدْ أَهْرَقْتَ دِمَاءً كَثِيرَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَخُضْتَ حُرُوباً عَظِيمَةً، وَلِهَذَا لَا يُمْكِنُكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ بَيْتاً لاِسْمِي؛

9 But a son will be born to you who will be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for his name will be Solomon, and I will grant to Israel peace and quiet during his reign.

9 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُوْلَدُ لَكَ ابْنٌ يَكُونُ رَجُلَ سَلامٍ وَأَمْنٍ، وَأَنَا أُرِيحُهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ، فَيَكُونُ اسْمُهُ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَأَجْعَلُ السَّلامَ وَالسَّكِينَةَ يَسُودَانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِهِ.

10 He is the one who will build a house for My Name. He will be My son, and I will be his Father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

10 هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتاً لاِسْمِي، وَيَكُونُ لِيَ ابْناً، وَأَنَا لَهُ أَباً، وأُثَبِّتُ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

11 Now, my son, may the LORD be with you, and may you succeed in building the house of the LORD your God, as He said you would.

11 وَالآنَ يَا ابْنِي لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَكَ فَيُحَالِفَكَ التَّوْفِيقُ فِي بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْكَ،

12 Above all, may the LORD give you insight and understanding when He puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the Law of the LORD your God.

12 وَلْيَمْنَحْكَ الرَّبُّ فِطْنَةً وَمَعْرِفَةً عِنْدَمَا يُوَلِّيكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتُطِيعَ شَرِيعَةَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ،

13 Then you will succeed, if you carefully follow the statutes and ordinances that the LORD commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.

13 حِينَئِذٍ تُفْلِحُ، إِذْ تَحْرِصُ عَلَى مُمَارَسَةِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَالأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي أَمَرَ بِها الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَسَنَّهَا لإِسْرَائِيلَ. تَشَجَّعْ وَتَقَوَّ، لَا تَجْزَعْ وَلا تَرْتَعِبْ.

14 Now behold, I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the LORD—100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron too great to be weighed. I have also provided timber and stone, and you may add to them.

14 وَهَا أَنَا قَدْ كَابَدْتُ كُلَّ مَشَقَّةٍ لأُعِدَّ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ: مِئَةَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ طُنٍّ) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَأَلْفَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ أَلْفَ طُنٍّ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، وَنُحَاساً وَحَدِيداً لَا يُمْكِنُ وَزْنُهُ لِوَفْرَتِهِ. وَقَدْ جَهَّزْتُ أَيْضاً خَشَباً وَحِجَارَةً، وَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُضِيفَ عَلَيْهَا.

15 You also have many workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled in every kind of work—

15 وَلَدَيْكَ عَدَدٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنَ الْعُمَّالِ، مِنْ نَحَّاتِينَ وَبَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ، وَكُلُّ مَاهِرٍ فِي كُلِّ حِرْفَةٍ.

16 in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and may the LORD be with you.”

16 وَقَدْ تَوَافَرَ لَدَيْكَ مَا لَا يُحْصَى مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالنُّحَاسِ وَالْحَدِيدِ. فَقُمْ وَاعْمَلْ، وَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَكَ».

17 Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon:

17 وَأَوْصَى دَاوُدُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُعَاوَنَةِ ابْنِهِ سُلَيْمَانَ،

18 “Is not the LORD your God with you, and has He not granted you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before the LORD and His people.

18 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَلَيْسَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مَعَكُمْ وَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، إِذْ نَصَرَنِي عَلَى أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، فَخَضَعَتْ أُمَمُهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَأَمَامَ شَعْبِهِ.

19 Now set your heart and soul to seek the LORD your God. Begin building the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD.”

19 فَاعْقِدُوا الْعَزْمَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَنُفُوسِكُمْ عَلَى طَلَبِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى بِنَاءِ مَقْدِسِ الرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ لِتَنْقُلُوا تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ وَآنِيَةَ قُدْسِ اللهِ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي يُبْنَى لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ».
