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: «هَذَا هُوَ بَيْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ مَذْبَحُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ».

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 بِجَمْعِ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَقَامَ نَحَّاتِينَ لِنَحْتِ حِجَارَةٍ مُرَبَّعَةٍ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ.

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 وَهَيَّأَ دَاوُدُ حَدِيدًا كَثِيرًا لِلْمَسَامِيرِ لِمَصَارِيعِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ وَلِلْوُصَلِ، وَنُحَاسًا كَثِيرًا بِلَا وَزْنٍ،

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 لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَدَدٌ لِأَنَّ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَٱلصُّورِيِّينَ أَتَوْا بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ كَثِيرٍ إِلَى دَاوُدَ.

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 سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي صَغِيرٌ وَغَضٌّ، وَٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلَّذِي يُبْنَى لِلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ عَظِيمًا جِدًّا فِي ٱلِٱسْمِ وَٱلْمَجْدِ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، فَأَنَا أُهَيِّئُ لَهُ». فَهَيَّأَ دَاوُدُ كَثِيرًا 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 وَدَعَا سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ وَأَوْصَاهُ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا 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 ٱبْنِي، قَدْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ 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 فَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: قَدْ سَفَكْتَ دَمًا كَثِيرًا وَعَمِلْتَ حُرُوبًا عَظِيمَةً، فَلَا تَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي لِأَنَّكَ سَفَكْتَ دِمَاءً كَثِيرَةً عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامِي.

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 هُوَذَا يُولَدُ لَكَ ٱبْنٌ يَكُونُ صَاحِبَ رَاحَةٍ، وَأُرِيحُهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمَهُ يَكُونُ سُلَيْمَانَ. فَأَجْعَلُ سَلَامًا وَسَكِينَةً فِي 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 بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لِيَ ٱبْنًا، وَأَنَا لَهُ أَبًا وَأُثَبِّتُ كُرْسِيَّ مُلْكِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

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 ٱلْآنَ يَا ٱبْنِي، لِيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ فَتُفْلِحَ وَتَبْنِيَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ 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 إِنَّمَا يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِطْنَةً وَفَهْمًا وَيُوصِيكَ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ لِحِفْظِ شَرِيعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ 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 إِذَا تَحَفَّظْتَ لِعَمَلِ ٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى لِأَجْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا 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 هَأَنَذَا فِي مَذَلَّتِي هَيَّأْتُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ذَهَبًا مِئَةَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ، وَفِضَّةً أَلْفَ أَلْفِ وَزْنَةٍ، وَنُحَاسًا وَحَدِيدًا بِلَا وَزْنٍ لِأَنَّهُ كَثِيرٌ. وَقَدْ هَيَّأْتُ خَشَبًا وَحِجَارَةً فَتَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا.

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

15 وَعِنْدَكَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنْ عَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ: نَحَّاتِينَ وَبَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ وَكُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ.

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

16 ٱلذَّهَبُ وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلنُّحَاسُ وَٱلْحَدِيدُ لَيْسَ لَهَا عَدَدٌ. قُمْ وَٱعْمَلْ، وَلْيَكُنِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكَ».

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

17 وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ جَمِيعَ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُسَاعِدُوا سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ:

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 «أَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مَعَكُمْ، وَقَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ دَفَعَ لِيَدِي سُكَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَخَضَعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ 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 فَٱلْآنَ ٱجْعَلُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ وَأَنْفُسَكُمْ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَقُومُوا وَٱبْنُوا مَقْدِسَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ، لِيُؤْتَى بِتَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبِآنِيَةِ قُدْسِ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي يُبْنَى لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ».
