1 KINGS 8

ملوك اول 8

1  Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion.

1  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).

2  Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with King Solomon at the feast in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

2  فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْعِيدِ فِي شَهْرِ أَيْثَانِيمَ. هُوَ الشَّهْرُ السَّابِعُ.

3  So all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

3  وَجَاءَ جَمِيعُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَمَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ التَّابُوتَ

4  Then they brought up the ark of the Lord, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up.

4  وَأَصْعَدُوا تَابُوتَ الرَّبِّ وَخَيْمَةَ الاِجْتِمَاعِ مَعَ جَمِيعِ آنِيَةِ الْقُدْسِ الَّتِي فِي الْخَيْمَةِ، فَأَصْعَدَهَا الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ.

5  Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

5  وَالْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ إِلَيْهِ مَعَهُ أَمَامَ التَّابُوتِ كَانُوا يَذْبَحُونَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَقَرِ مَا لاَ يُحْصَى وَلاَ يُعَدُّ مِنَ الْكَثْرَةِ.

6  Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

6  وَأَدْخَلَ الْكَهَنَةُ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فِي مِحْرَابِ الْبَيْتِ (فِي قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ) إِلَى تَحْتِ جَنَاحَيِ الْكَرُوبَيْنِ،

7  For the cherubim spread their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

7  لأَنَّ الْكَرُوبَيْنِ بَسَطَا أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا عَلَى مَوْضِعِ التَّابُوتِ، وَظَلَّلَ الْكَرُوبَانِ التَّابُوتَ وَعِصِيَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

8  The poles extended so that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

8  وَجَذَبُوا الْعِصِيَّ فَتَرَاءَتْ رُؤُوسُ الْعِصِيِّ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ أَمَامَ الْمِحْرَابِ وَلَمْ تُرَ خَارِجاً، وَهِيَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

9  Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets 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.

9  لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي التَّابُوتِ إِلاَّ لَوْحَا الْحَجَرِ اللَّذَانِ وَضَعَهُمَا مُوسَى هُنَاكَ فِي حُورِيبَ حِينَ عَاهَدَ الرَّبُّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

10  And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord,

10  وَكَانَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ الْكَهَنَةُ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ أَنَّ السَّحَابَ مَلَأَ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ،

11  so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.

11  وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعِ الْكَهَنَةُ أَنْ يَقِفُوا لِلْخِدْمَةِ بِسَبَبِ السَّحَابِ، لأَنَّ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ مَلَأَ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ.

12  Then Solomon spoke: "The Lord said He would dwell in the dark cloud.

12  حِينَئِذٍ تَكَلَّمَ سُلَيْمَانُ: [قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ فِي الضَّبَابِ.

13  I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever."

13  إِنِّي قَدْ بَنَيْتُ لَكَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَى مَكَاناً لِسُكْنَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ].

14  Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

14  وَحَوَّلَ الْمَلِكُ وَجْهَهُ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكُلُّ جُمْهُورِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاقِفٌ.

15  And he said: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying,

15  وَقَالَ: [مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِفَمِهِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَأَكْمَلَ بِيَدِهِ قَائِلاً:

16  'Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.'

16  مُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَمْ أَخْتَرْ مَدِينَةً مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِبِنَاءِ بَيْتٍ لِيَكُونَ اسْمِي هُنَاكَ، بَلِ اخْتَرْتُ دَاوُدَ لِيَكُونَ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

17  Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

17  وَكَانَ فِي قَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي أَنْ يَبْنِيَ بَيْتاً لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

18  But the Lord said to my father David, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

18  فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنْ تَبْنِيَ بَيْتاً لاِسْمِي قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ بِكَوْنِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ.

19  Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.'

19  إِلاَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ لاَ تَبْنِي الْبَيْتَ، بَلِ ابْنُكَ الْخَارِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ هُوَ يَبْنِي الْبَيْتَ لاِسْمِي.

20  So the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke; and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised; and I have built a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

20  وَأَقَامَ الرَّبُّ كَلاَمَهُ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، وَقَدْ قُمْتُ أَنَا مَكَانَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ، وَبَنَيْتُ الْبَيْتَ لاِسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ

21  And there I have made a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt."

21  وَجَعَلْتُ هُنَاكَ مَكَاناً لِلتَّابُوتِ الَّذِي فِيهِ عَهْدُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ آبَائِنَا عِنْدَ إِخْرَاجِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ].

22  Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;

22  وَوَقَفَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ تُجَاهَ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ

23  and he said: "Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

23  وَقَالَ: [أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ مِثْلَكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ وَلاَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ، حَافِظُ الْعَهْدِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ لِعَبِيدِكَ السَّائِرِينَ أَمَامَكَ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ.

24  You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.

24  الَّذِي قَدْ حَفِظْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ بِفَمِكَ وَأَكْمَلْتَ بِيَدِكَ كَهَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

25  Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, 'You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.'

25  وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ احْفَظْ لِعَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي مَا كَلَّمْتَهُ بِهِ قَائِلاً: لاَ يُعْدَمُ لَكَ أَمَامِي رَجُلٌ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِنْ كَانَ بَنُوكَ يَحْفَظُونَ طُرُقَهُمْ حَتَّى يَسِيرُوا أَمَامِي كَمَا سِرْتَ أَنْتَ أَمَامِي.

26  And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.

26  وَالآنَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلْيَتَحَقَّقْ كَلاَمُكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي.

27  But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!

27  لأَنَّهُ هَلْ يَسْكُنُ اللَّهُ حَقّاً عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟ هُوَذَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَسَمَاءُ السَّمَاوَاتِ لاَ تَسَعُكَ، فَكَمْ بِالأَقَلِّ هَذَا الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُ؟

28  Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Lord my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today:

28  فَالْتَفِتْ إِلَى صَلاَةِ عَبْدِكَ وَإِلَى تَضَرُّعِهِ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، وَاسْمَعِ الصُّرَاخَ وَالصَّلاَةَ الَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ أَمَامَكَ الْيَوْمَ.

29  that Your eyes may be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, 'My name shall be there,' that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place.

29  لِتَكُونَ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ عَلَى هَذَا الْبَيْتِ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، عَلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي قُلْتَ: إِنَّ اسْمِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ لِتَسْمَعَ الصَّلاَةَ الَّتِي يُصَلِّيهَا عَبْدُكَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ.

30  And may You hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear in heaven Your dwelling place; and when You hear, forgive.

30  وَاسْمَعْ تَضَرُّعَ عَبْدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، وَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ فِي مَوْضِعِ سُكْنَاكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ فَاغْفِرْ.

31  "When anyone sins against his neighbor, and is forced to take an oath, and comes and takes an oath before Your altar in this temple,

31  إِذَا أَخْطَأَ أَحَدٌ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ حَلْفاً لِيُحَلِّفَهُ، وَجَاءَ الْحَلْفُ أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِكَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ،

32  then hear in heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way on his head, and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.

32  فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَاعْمَلْ وَاقْضِ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِكَ، إِذْ تَحْكُمُ عَلَى الْمُذْنِبِ فَتَجْعَلُ طَرِيقَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَتُبَرِّرُ الْبَارَّ إِذْ تُعْطِيهِ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ.

33  "When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and when they turn back to You and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to You in this temple,

33  إِذَا انْكَسَرَ شَعْبُكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ أَمَامَ الْعَدُوِّ لأَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ وَاعْتَرَفُوا بِاسْمِكَ وَصَلُّوا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ،

34  then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers.

34  فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَرْجِعْهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ.

35  "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You afflict them,

35  [إِذَا أُغْلِقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَطَرٌ لأَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ، ثُمَّ صَلُّوا فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَاعْتَرَفُوا بِاسْمِكَ، وَرَجَعُوا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِمْ لأَنَّكَ ضَايَقْتَهُمْ

36  then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

36  فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَاغْفِرْ خَطِيَّةَ عَبِيدِكَ وَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَلِّمَهُمُ الطَّرِيقَ الصَّالِحَ الَّذِي يَسْلُكُونَ فِيهِ، وَأَعْطِ مَطَراً عَلَى أَرْضِكَ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَهَا لِشَعْبِكَ مِيرَاثاً.

37  "When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;

37  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،

38  whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows the plague of his own heart, and spreads out his hands toward this temple:

38  فَكُلُّ صَلاَةٍ وَكُلُّ تَضَرُّعٍ تَكُونُ مِنْ أَيِّ إِنْسَانٍ كَانَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، الَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ضَرْبَةَ قَلْبِهِ فَيَبْسُطُ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ،

39  then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of all the sons of men),

39  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.

40  that they may fear You all the days that they live in the land which You gave to our fathers.

40  لِيَخَافُوكَ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي يَحْيُونَ فِيهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لِآبَائِنَا.

41  "Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but has come from a far country for Your name's sake

41  وَكَذَلِكَ الأَجْنَبِيُّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَجَاءَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ -

42  (for they will hear of Your great name and Your strong hand and Your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this temple,

42  لأَنَّهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِيَدِكَ الْقَوِيَّةِ وَذِرَاعِكَ الْمَمْدُودَةِ - فَمَتَى جَاءَ وَصَلَّى فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ،

43  hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name.

43  فَاسْمَعْ أَنْتَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ، وَافْعَلْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَيْكَ الأَجْنَبِيُّ، لِيَعْلَمَ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ اسْمَكَ فَيَخَافُوكَ كَشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ دُعِيَ اسْمُكَ عَلَى هَذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُ.

44  "When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name,

44  [إِذَا خَرَجَ شَعْبُكَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ عَدُوِّهِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي تُرْسِلُهُمْ فِيهِ، وَصَلُّوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَهَا وَالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُهُ لاِسْمِكَ،

45  then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

45  فَاسْمَعْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ صَلاَتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَاقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ.

46  "When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near;

46  إِذَا أَخْطَأُوا إِلَيْكَ - لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانٌ لاَ يُخْطِئُ - وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَدَفَعْتَهُمْ أَمَامَ الْعَدُوِّ وَسَبَاهُمْ سَابُوهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْعَدُوِّ بَعِيدَةً أَوْ قَرِيبَةً،

47  yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, saying, 'We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness';

47  فَإِذَا رَدُّوا إِلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يُسْبَوْنَ إِلَيْهَا وَرَجَعُوا وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْكَ فِي أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا وَعَوَّجْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا

48  and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name:

48  وَرَجَعُوا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فِي أَرْضِ أَعْدَائِهِمُِ الَّذِينَ سَبُوهُمْ، وَصَلُّوا إِلَيْكَ نَحْوَ أَرْضِهِمُِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَ لِآبَائِهِمْ، نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتَ وَالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي بَنَيْتُ لاِسْمِكَ،

49  then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause,

49  فَاسْمَعْ فِي السَّمَاءِ مَكَانِ سُكْنَاكَ صَلاَتَهُمْ وَتَضَرُّعَهُمْ وَاقْضِ قَضَاءَهُمْ،

50  and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You; and grant them compassion before those who took them captive, that they may have compassion on them

50  وَاغْفِرْ لِشَعْبِكَ مَا أَخْطَأُوا بِهِ إِلَيْكَ، وَجَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِهِمِ الَّتِي أَذْنَبُوا بِهَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَعْطِهِمْ رَحْمَةً أَمَامَ الَّذِينَ سَبُوهُمْ فَيَرْحَمُوهُمْ،

51  (for they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, out of the iron furnace),

51  لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبُكَ وَمِيرَاثُكَ الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتَ مِنْ مِصْرَ مِنْ وَسَطِ كُورِ الْحَدِيدِ.

52  that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.

52  لِتَكُونَ عَيْنَاكَ مَفْتُوحَتَيْنِ نَحْوَ تَضَرُّعِ عَبْدِكَ وَتَضَرُّعِ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُصْغِيَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا يَدْعُونَكَ.

53  For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God."

53  لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَفْرَزْتَهُمْ لَكَ مِيرَاثاً مِنْ جَمِيعِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ، كَمَا تَكَلَّمْتَ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى عَبْدِكَ عِنْدَ إِخْرَاجِكَ آبَاءَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ يَا سَيِّدِي الرَّبَّ].

54  And so it was, when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

54  وَكَانَ لَمَّا انْتَهَى سُلَيْمَانُ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى الرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ الصَّلاَةِ وَالتَّضَرُّعِ، أَنَّهُ نَهَضَ مِنْ أَمَامِ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ مِنَ الْجُثُوِّ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَيَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ،

55  Then he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:

55  وَوَقَفَ وَبَارَكَ كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ قَائِلاً:

56  "Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.

56  [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.

57  May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us,

57  لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا مَعَنَا كَمَا كَانَ مَعَ آبَائِنَا فَلاَ يَتْرُكَنَا وَلاَ يَرْفُضَنَا.

58  that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers.

58  لِيَمِيلَ بِقُلُوبِنَا إِلَيْهِ لِنَسِيرَ فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ وَنَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا آبَاءَنَا.

59  And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the Lord, be near the Lord our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day may require,

59  وَلِيَكُنْ كَلاَمِي هَذَا الَّذِي تَضَرَّعْتُ بِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ قَرِيباً مِنَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً، لِيَقْضِيَ قَضَاءَ عَبْدِهِ وَقَضَاءَ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِهِ.

60  that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other.

60  لِيَعْلَمَ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ اللَّهُ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ.

61  Let your heart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day."

61  فَلِْيَكُنْ قَلْبُكُمْ كَامِلاً لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا إِذْ تَسِيرُونَ فِي فَرَائِضِهِ وَتَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَاهُ كَهَذَا الْيَوْمِ].

62  Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the Lord.

62  ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ وَجَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ ذَبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،

63  And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the Lord, twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.

63  وَذَبَحَ سُلَيْمَانُ ذَبَائِحَ السَّلاَمَةِ الَّتِي ذَبَحَهَا لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً، وَمِنَ الْغَنَمِ مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفاً، فَدَشَّنَ الْمَلِكُ وَجَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ.

64  On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the Lord; for there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too small to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

64  فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَدَّسَ الْمَلِكُ وَسَطَ الدَّارِ الَّتِي أَمَامَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ قَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَالتَّقْدِمَاتِ وَشَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِ السَّلاَمَةِ، لأَنَّ مَذْبَحَ النُّحَاسِ الَّذِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَانَ صَغِيراً عَنْ أَنْ يَسَعَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَالتَّقْدِمَاتِ وَشَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِ السَّلاَمَةِ.

65  At that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven more days--fourteen days.

65  وَعَيَّدَ سُلَيْمَانُ الْعِيدَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ، جُمْهُورٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي مِصْرَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَسَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً.

66  On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the good that the Lord had done for His servant David, and for Israel His people.

66  وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ صَرَفَ الشَّعْبَ فَبَارَكُوا الْمَلِكَ وَذَهَبُوا إِلَى خِيَمِهِمْ فَرِحِينَ وَطَيِّبِي الْقُلُوبِ لأَجْلِ كُلِّ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي عَمِلَ الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِهِ وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِهِ.
