1وامر سليمان ببناء بيت لاسم الرب وبيت لملكه.
1Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom.
2واحصى سليمان سبعين الف رجل حمّال وثمانين الف رجل نحّات في الجبل ووكلاء عليهم ثلاثة آلاف وست مئة
2Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3وارسل سليمان الى حورام ملك صور قائلا. كما فعلت مع داود ابي اذ ارسلت له ارزا ليبني له بيتا يسكن فيه
3Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, “As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.
4فهانذا ابني بيتا لاسم الرب الهي لاقدسه له لأوقد امامه بخورا عطرا ولخبز الوجوه الدائم وللمحرقات صباحا ومساء وللسبوت والاهلّة ومواسم الرب الهنا. هذا على اسرائيل الى الابد.
4Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Yahweh our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5والبيت الذي انا بانيه عظيم لان الهنا اعظم من جميع الآلهة.
5“The house which I build is great; for our God is great above all gods.
6ومن يستطيع ان يبني له بيتا لان السموات وسماء السموات لا تسعه ومن انا حتى ابني له بيتا الا للايقاد امامه.
6But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?
7فالآن ارسل لي رجلا حكيما في صناعة الذهب والفضة والنحاس والحديد والارجوان والقرمز والاسمانجوني ماهرا في النقش مع الحكماء الذين عندي في يهوذا وفي اورشليم الذين اعدّهم داود ابي.
7“Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
8وارسل لي خشب ارز وسرو وصندل من لبنان لاني اعلم ان عبيدك ماهرون في قطع خشب لبنان. وهوذا عبيدي مع عبيدك.
8“Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and behold, my servants shall be with your servants,
9وليعدّوا لي خشبا بكثرة لان البيت الذي ابنيه عظيم وعجيب.
9even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.
10وهانذا اعطي للقطّاعين القاطعين الخشب عشرين الف كرّ من الحنطة طعاما لعبيدك وعشرين الف كرّ شعير وعشرين الف بث خمر وعشرين الف بث زيت
10Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
11فقال حورام ملك صور بكتابة ارسلها الى سليمان. لان الرب قد احب شعبه جعلك عليهم ملكا.
11Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
12وقال حورام مبارك الرب اله اسرائيل الذي صنع السماء والارض الذي اعطى داود الملك ابنا حكيما صاحب معرفة وفهم الذي يبني بيتا للرب وبيتا لملكه.
12Huram continued, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom.
13والآن ارسلت رجلا حكيما صاحب فهم حورام ابي
13Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, of Huram my father’s,
14ابن امرأة من بنات دان وابوه رجل صوري ماهر في صناعة الذهب والفضة والنحاس والحديد والحجارة والخشب والارجوان والاسمانجوني والكتان والقرمز ونقش كل نوع من النقش واختراع كل اختراع يلقى عليه مع حكمائك وحكماء سيدي داود ابيك.
14the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to devise any device; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.
15والآن الحنطة والشعير والزيت والخمر التي ذكرها سيدي فليرسلها لعبيده.
15“Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:
16ونحن نقطع خشبا من لبنان حسب كل احتياجك ونأتي به اليك ارماثا على البحر الى يافا وانت تصعده الى اورشليم
16and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem.”
17وعدّ سليمان جميع الرجال الاجنبيين الذين في ارض اسرائيل بعد العدّ الذي عدّهم اياه داود ابوه فوجدوا مئة وثلاثة وخمسين الفا وست مئة.
17Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.
18فجعل منهم سبعين الف حمّال وثمانين الف قطّاع على الجبل وثلاثة آلاف وست مئة وكلاء لتشغيل الشعب
18He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
