¹ولما انتهى سليمان من الصلاة نزلت النار من السماء وأكلت المحرقة والذبائح وملأ مجد الرب البيت.

¹Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.

²ولم يستطع الكهنة ان يدخلوا بيت الرب لان مجد الرب ملأ بيت الرب.

²The priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, because the glory of Yahweh filled Yahweh’s house.

³وكان جميع بني اسرائيل ينظرون عند نزول النار ومجد الرب على البيت وخرّوا على وجوههم الى الارض على البلاط المجزّع وسجدوا وحمدوا الرب لانه صالح والى الابد رحمته

³All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of Yahweh was on the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, saying, “For he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever.”

⁴ثم ان الملك وكل الشعب ذبحوا ذبائح امام الرب.

⁴Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Yahweh.

⁵وذبح الملك سليمان ذبائح من البقر اثنين وعشرين الفا ومن الغنم مئة وعشرين الفا ودشّن الملك وكل الشعب بيت الله.

⁵King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.

⁶وكان الكهنة واقفين على محارسهم واللاويون بآلات غناء الرب التي عملها داود الملك لاجل حمد الرب لان الى الابد رحمته حين سبّح داود بها والكهنة ينفخون في الابواق مقابلهم وكل اسرائيل واقف

⁶The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures for ever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.

⁷وقدس سليمان وسط الدار التي امام بيت الرب لانه قرّب هناك المحرقات وشحم ذبائح السلامة لان مذبح النحاس الذي عمله سليمان لم يكف لان يسع المحرقات والتقدمات والشحم.

⁷Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of Yahweh; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat.

⁸وعيّد سليمان العيد في ذلك الوقت سبعة ايام وكل اسرائيل معه وجمهور عظيم جدا من مدخل حماة الى وادي مصر.

⁸So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.

⁹وعملوا في اليوم الثامن اعتكافا لانهم عملوا تدشين المذبح سبعة ايام والعيد سبعة ايام.

⁹On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

¹⁰وفي اليوم الثالث والعشرين من الشهر السابع صرف الشعب الى خيامهم فرحين وطيبي القلوب لاجل الخير الذي عمله الرب لداود ولسليمان ولاسرائيل شعبه.

¹⁰On the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

¹¹واكمل سليمان بيت الرب وبيت الملك وكل ما خطر ببال سليمان ان يعمله في بيت الرب وفي بيته نجح فيه

¹¹Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house: and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of Yahweh, and in his own house.

¹²وتراءى الرب لسليمان ليلا وقال له. قد سمعت صلاتك واخترت هذا المكان لي بيت ذبيحة.

¹²Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

¹³ان اغلقت السماء ولم يكن مطر وان امرت الجراد ان يأكل الارض وان ارسلت وبأ على شعبي

¹³“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

¹⁴فاذا تواضع شعبي الذين دعي اسمي عليهم وصلّوا وطلبوا وجهي ورجعوا عن طرقهم الردية فانني اسمع من السماء واغفر خطيتهم وابرئ ارضهم.

¹⁴if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

¹⁵الآن عيناي تكونان مفتوحتين واذناي مصغيتين الى صلاة هذا المكان.

¹⁵Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.

¹⁶والآن قد اخترت وقدست هذا البيت ليكون اسمي فيه الى الابد وتكون عيناي وقلبي هناك كل الايام.

¹⁶For now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

¹⁷وانت ان سلكت امامي كما سلك داود ابوك وعملت حسب كل ما أمرتك به وحفظت فرائضي واحكامي

¹⁷“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;

¹⁸فاني اثبت كرسي ملكك كما عاهدت داود اباك قائلا لا يعدم لك رجل يتسلط على اسرائيل.

¹⁸then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’

¹⁹ولكن ان انقلبتم وتركتم فرائضي ووصاياي التي جعلتها امامكم وذهبتم وعبدتم آلهة اخرى وسجدتم لها

¹⁹But if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

²⁰فاني اقلعهم من ارضي التي اعطيتهم اياها وهذا البيت الذي قدسته لاسمي اطرحه من امامي واجعله مثلا وهزأة في جميع الشعوب.

²⁰then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

²¹وهذا البيت الذي كان مرتفعا كل من يمرّ به يتعجب ويقول لماذا عمل الرب هكذا لهذه الارض ولهذا البيت.

²¹This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall say, ‘Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?’

²²فيقولون من اجل انهم تركوا الرب اله آبائهم الذي اخرجهم من ارض مصر وتمسكوا بآلهة اخرى وسجدوا لها وعبدوها لذلك جلب عليهم كل هذا الشر

²²They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
