¹وكان لما اكمل سليمان بناء بيت الرب وبيت الملك وكل مرغوب سليمان الذي سرّ ان يعمل

¹And it came to pass when Solomon had completed the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

²ان الرب تراءى لسليمان ثانية كما تراءى له في جبعون.

²that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

³وقال له الرب قد سمعت صلاتك وتضرعك الذي تضرعت به امامي. قدّست هذا البيت الذي بنيته لاجل وضع اسمي فيه الى الابد وتكون عيناي وقلبي هناك كل الايام.

³And Jehovah said to him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication which thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

⁴وانت ان سلكت امامي كما سلك داود ابوك بسلامة قلب واستقامة وعملت حسب كل ما اوصيتك وحفظت فرائضي واحكامي

⁴And [as for] thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;

⁵فاني اقيم كرسي ملكك على اسرائيل الى الابد كما كلمت داود اباك قائلا لا يعدم لك رجل عن كرسي اسرائيل.

⁵then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

⁶ان كنتم تنقلبون انتم او ابناؤكم من ورائي ولا تحفظون وصاياي فرائضي التي جعلتها امامكم بل تذهبون وتعبدون آلهة اخرى وتسجدون لها

⁶[But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments, my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them;

⁷فاني اقطع اسرائيل عن وجه الارض التي اعطيتهم اياها والبيت الذي قدسته لاسمي انفيه من امامي ويكون اسرائيل مثلا وهزأة في جميع الشعوب.

⁷then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed to my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by word among all peoples;

⁸وهذا البيت يكون عبرة. كل من يمرّ عليه يتعجب ويصفر ويقولون لماذا عمل الرب هكذا لهذه الارض ولهذا البيت.

⁸and this house, [which] is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished at, and shall hiss, and they shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house?

⁹فيقولون من اجل انهم تركوا الرب الههم الذي اخرج آباءهم من ارض مصر وتمسّكوا بآلهة اخرى وسجدوا لها وعبدوها لذلك جلب الرب عليهم كل هذا الشر

⁹And they shall say, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have attached themselves to other gods, and have worshipped them and served them; therefore has Jehovah brought upon them all this evil.

¹⁰وبعد نهاية عشرين سنة بعدما بني سليمان البيتين بيت الرب وبيت الملك.

¹⁰And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king's house,

¹¹وكان حيرام ملك صور قد ساعف سليمان بخشب ارز وخشب سرو وذهب حسب كل مسرّته. اعطى حينئذ الملك سليمان حيرام عشرين مدينة في ارض الجليل.

¹¹Hiram the king of Tyre having furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and cypress-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, -- that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

¹²فخرج حيرام من صور ليرى المدن التي اعطاه اياها سليمان فلم تحسن في عينيه.

¹²And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.

¹³فقال ما هذه المدن التي اعطيتني يا اخي. ودعاها ارض كابول الى هذا اليوم.

¹³And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.

¹⁴وارسل حيرام للملك مئة وعشرين وزنة ذهب

¹⁴And Hiram had sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.

¹⁵وهذا هو سبب التسخير الذي جعله الملك سليمان لبناء بيت الرب وبيته والقلعة وسور اورشليم وحاصور ومجدو وجازر.

¹⁵And this is the account of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

¹⁶صعد فرعون ملك مصر واخذ جازر واحرقها بالنار وقتل الكنعانيين الساكنين في المدينة واعطاها مهرا لابنته امرأة سليمان.

¹⁶-- Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer, and burned it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

¹⁷وبنى سليمان جازر وبيت حورون السفلى

¹⁷-- And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,

¹⁸وبعلة وتدمر في البرية في الارض

¹⁸and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

¹⁹وجميع مدن المخازن التي كانت لسليمان ومدن المركبات ومدن الفرسان ومرغوب سليمان الذي رغب ان يبنيه في اورشليم وفي لبنان وفي كل ارض سلطنته.

¹⁹and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and cities for chariots, and cities for the horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

²⁰جميع الشعب الباقين من الاموريين والحثّيين والفرزّيين والحويين واليبوسيين الذين ليسوا من بني اسرائيل

²⁰All the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel,

²¹ابناؤهم الذين بقوا بعدهم في الارض الذين لم يقدر بنو اسرائيل ان يحرموهم جعل عليهم سليمان تسخير عبيد الى هذا اليوم.

²¹their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon them did Solomon impose a tribute of bondservice until this day.

²²واما بنو اسرائيل فلم يجعل سليمان منهم عبيدا لانهم رجال القتال وخدامه وامراؤه وثوالثه ورؤساء مركباته وفرسانه.

²²But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen; but they were men of war, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his captains, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.

²³هؤلاء رؤساء الموكلين على اعمال سليمان خمس مئة وخمسون الذين كانوا يتسلطون على الشعب العاملين العمل

²³These were the chief superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people that wrought in the work.

²⁴ولكن بنت فرعون صعدت من مدينة داود الى بيتها الذي بناه لها. حينئذ بنى القلعة.

²⁴But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which he had built for her: then he built Millo.

²⁵وكان سليمان يصعد ثلاث مرات في السنة محرقات وذبائح سلامة على المذبح الذي بناه للرب وكان يوقد على الذي امام الرب. واكمل البيت

²⁵And three times in the year did Solomon offer up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar that he had built to Jehovah, and he burned incense upon that which was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.

²⁶وعمل الملك سليمان سفنا في عصيون جابر التي بجانب ايلة على شاطئ بحر سوف في ارض ادوم.

²⁶And king Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

²⁷فارسل حيرام في السفن عبيده النواتي العارفين بالبحر مع عبيد سليمان.

²⁷And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon;

²⁸فأتوا الى اوفير واخذوا من هناك ذهبا اربع مئة وزنة وعشرين وزنة وأتوا بها الى الملك سليمان

²⁸and they went to Ophir, and fetched thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
