| 1 وكمل جميع العمل الذي عمله سليمان لبيت الرب وادخل سليمان اقداس داود ابيه. والفضة والذهب وجميع الآنية جعلها في خزائن بيت الله. | 1 Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, and stored the silver, the gold, and all the vessels in the treasuries of the house of God. |
| 2 حينئذ جمع سليمان شيوخ اسرائيل وكل رؤوس الاسباط رؤساء الآباء لبني اسرائيل الى اورشليم لاصعاد تابوت عهد الرب من مدينة داود. هي صهيون. | 2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion. |
| 3 فاجتمع الى الملك جميع رجال اسرائيل في العيد الذي في الشهر السابع. | 3 And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast which is in the seventh month. |
| 4 وجاء جميع شيوخ اسرائيل وحمل اللاويون التابوت | 4 And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark. |
| 5 واصعدوا التابوت وخيمة الاجتماع مع جميع آنية القدس التي في الخيمة اصعدها الكهنة واللاويون. | 5 And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up. |
| 6 والملك سليمان وكل جماعة اسرائيل المجتمعين اليه امام التابوت كانوا يذبحون غنما وبقرا ما لا يحصى ولا يعدّ من الكثرة. | 6 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered. |
| 7 وادخل الكهنة تابوت عهد الرب الى مكانه في محراب البيت في قدس الاقداس الى تحت جناحي الكروبين. | 7 So the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim. |
| 8 وكان الكروبان باسطين اجنحتهما على موضع التابوت وظلّل الكروبان التابوت وعصيه من فوق. | 8 For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles. |
| 9 وجذبوا العصي فتراءت رؤوس العصي من التابوت امام المحراب ولم تر خارجا وهي هناك الى هذا اليوم. | 9 And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside; and they are there to this day. |
| 10 لم يكن في التابوت الا اللوحان اللذان وضعهما موسى في حوريب حين عاهد الرب بني اسرائيل عند خروجهم من مصر | 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. |
| 11 وكان لما خرج الكهنة من القدس لان جميع الكهنة الموجودين تقدسوا. لم تلاحظ الفرق. | 11 Now when the priests came out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard to their divisions; |
| 12 واللاويون المغنون اجمعون آساف وهيمان ويدوثون وبنوهم واخوتهم لابسين كتانا بالصنوج والرباب والعيدان واقفين شرقي المذبح ومعهم من الكهنة مئة وعشرون ينفخون في الابواق. | 12 and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, their sons and kinsmen, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with a hundred and twenty priests who were trumpeters; |
| 13 وكان لما صوّت المبوقون والمغنون كواحد صوتا واحدا لتسبيح الرب وحمده ورفعوا صوتا بالابواق والصنوج وآلات الغناء والتسبيح للرب لانه صالح لان الى الابد رحمته ان البيت بيت الرب امتلأ سحابا. | 13 and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the LORD), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the LORD, "For he is good, for his steadfast love endures for ever," the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, |
| 14 ولم يستطع الكهنة ان يقفوا للخدمة بسبب السحاب لان مجد الرب ملأ بيت الله | 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God. |
