2 Chronicles 6

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then Solomon said: “The Lord has promised that he would dwell in a cloud.	1 حينئذ قال سليمان. قال الرب انه يسكن في الضباب.
2 But I have built a house to his name, so that he may dwell there forever.”	2 وانا بنيت لك بيت سكنى مكانا لسكناك الى الابد.
3 And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire multitude of Israel, (for the whole crowd was standing and attentive) and he said:	3 وحول الملك وجهه وبارك كل جمهور اسرائيل وكل جمهور اسرائيل واقف.
4 “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who has completed the work that he spoke to David my father, saying:	4 وقال مبارك الرب اله اسرائيل الذي كلم بفمه داود ابي واكمل بيديه قائلا
5 ‘From the day when I led my people away from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city from all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built in it to my name. And I did not choose any other man, so that he would be the ruler of my people Israel.	5 منذ يوم اخرجت شعبي من ارض مصر لم اختر مدينة من جميع اسباط اسرائيل لبناء بيت ليكون اسمي هناك ولا اخترت رجلا يكون رئيسا لشعبي اسرائيل.
6 But I chose Jerusalem, so that my name would be in it. And I chose David, so that I might appoint him over my people Israel.’	6 بل اخترت اورشليم ليكون اسمي فيها واخترت داود ليكون على شعبي اسرائيل.
7 And though David, my father, had decided that he would build a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel,	7 وكان في قلب داود ابي ان يبني بيتا لاسم الرب اله اسرائيل.
8 the Lord said to him: ‘In so far as it was your will that you build a house to my name, certainly you have done well in having such a will.	8 فقال الرب لداود ابي من اجل انه كان في قلبك ان تبني بيتا لاسمي قد احسنت بكون ذلك في قلبك.
9 But you shall not build the house. Truly, your son, who will go forth from your loins, shall build a house to my name.’	9 الا انك انت لا تبني البيت بل ابنك الخارج من صلبك هو يبني البيت لاسمي.
10 Therefore, the Lord has accomplished his word, which he had spoken. And I have risen up in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord spoke. And I have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.	10 واقام الرب كلامه الذي تكلم به وقد قمت انا مكان داود ابي وجلست على كرسي اسرائيل كما تكلم الرب وبنيت البيت لاسم الرب اله اسرائيل.
11 And I have placed in it the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he formed with the sons of Israel.”	11 ووضعت هناك التابوت الذي فيه عهد الرب الذي قطعه مع بني اسرائيل
12 Then he stood before the altar of the Lord, facing the entire multitude of Israel, and he extended his hands.	12 ووقف امام مذبح الرب تجاه كل جماعة اسرائيل وبسط يديه.
13 For indeed, Solomon had made a bronze base, and he had positioned it in the midst of the hall; it held five cubits in length, and five cubits in width, and three cubits in height. And he stood upon it. And next, kneeling down while facing the entire multitude of Israel, and lifting up his palms towards heaven,	13 لان سليمان صنع منبرا من نحاس وجعله في وسط الدار طوله خمس اذرع وعرضه خمس اذرع وارتفاعه ثلاث اذرع ووقف عليه ثم جثا على ركبتيه تجاه كل جماعة اسرائيل وبسط يديه نحو السماء
14 he said: “O Lord God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on earth. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their hearts.	14 وقال. ايها الرب اله اسرائيل لا اله مثلك في السماء والارض حافظ العهد والرحمة لعبيدك السائرين امامك بكل قلوبهم.
15 You fulfilled for your servant David, my father, whatsoever you had said to him. And you carried out the deed that you promised with your mouth, just as the present time proves.	15 الذي قد حفظت لعبدك داود ابي ما كلمته به فتكلمت بفمك واكملت بيدك كهذا اليوم.
16 Now then, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill for your servant David, my father, whatsoever you said to him, saying: ‘There shall not fail to be a man from you before me, who will sit upon the throne of Israel, yet only if your sons will guard their ways, and will walk in my law, just as you also have walked before me.’	16 والآن ايها الرب اله اسرائيل احفظ لعبدك داود ابي ما كلمته به قائلا لا يعدم لك امامي رجل يجلس على كرسي اسرائيل ان يكن بنوك طرقهم يحفظون حتى يسيروا في شريعتي كما سرت انت امامي.
17 And now, O Lord God of Israel, let your word be confirmed that you spoke to your servant David.	17 والآن ايها الرب اله اسرائيل فليتحقق كلامك الذي كلمت به عبدك داود.
18 How then is it to be believe that God would dwell with men upon the earth? If heaven and the heavens of the heavens do not contain you, how much less this house that I have built?	18 لانه هل يسكن الله حقا مع الانسان على الارض. هوذا السموات وسماء السموات لا تسعك فكم بالاقل هذا البيت الذي بنيت.
19 But it has been done for this only, so that you may look with favor upon the prayer of your servant, and on his supplication, O Lord my God, and so that you may hear the prayers which your servant pours out before you,	19 فالتفت الى صلاة عبدك والى تضرّعه ايها الرب الهي واسمع الصراخ والصلاة التي يصليها عبدك امامك.
20 and so that you may open your eyes over this house, day and night, over the place where you promised that your name would be invoked,	20 لتكون عيناك مفتوحتين على هذا البيت نهارا وليلا على الموضع الذي قلت انك تضع اسمك فيه لتسمع الصلاة التي يصلّيها عبدك في هذا الموضع
21 and so that you may heed the prayer which your servant is praying within it, and so that you may heed the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel. Whoever will pray in this place, listen from your habitation, that is, from heaven, and forgive.	21 واسمع تضرعات عبدك وشعبك اسرائيل الذين يصلّون في هذا الموضع واسمع انت من موضع سكناك من السماء واذا سمعت فاغفر.
22 If anyone will have sinned against his neighbor, and he arrives to swear against him, and to bind himself with a curse before the altar in this house,	22 ان اخطأ احد الى صاحبه ووضع عليه حلف ليحلفه وجاء الحلف امام مذبحك في هذا البيت
23 you will hear him from heaven, and you will execute justice for your servants, so that you return, to the iniquitous man, his own way upon his own head, and so that you vindicate the just man, repaying him according to his own justice.	23 فاسمع انت من السماء واعمل واقضي بين عبيدك اذ تعاقب المذنب فتجعل طريقه على راسه وتبرر البار اذ تعطيه حسب بره.
24 If your people Israel will have been overwhelmed by their enemies, (for they will sin against you) and having been converted will do penance, and if they will have beseeched your name, and will have prayed in this place,	24 وان انكسر شعبك اسرائيل امام العدو لكونهم اخطأوا اليك ثم رجعوا واعترفوا باسمك وصلّوا وتضرعوا امامك نحو هذا البيت
25 you will heed them from heaven, and you will forgive the sin of your people Israel, and you will lead them back into the land that you gave to them and to their fathers.	25 فاسمع انت من السماء واغفر خطية شعبك اسرائيل وارجعهم الى الارض التي اعطيتها لهم ولآبائهم
26 If the heavens have been closed, so that rain does not fall, because of the sin of the people, and if they will petition you in this place, and confess to your name, and be converted from their sins when you will afflict them,	26 اذا اغلقت السماء ولم يكن مطر لكونهم اخطأوا اليك ثم صلّوا في هذا المكان واعترفوا باسمك ورجعوا عن خطيتهم لانك ضايقتهم
27 heed them from heaven, O Lord, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel, and teach them the good way, by which they may advance, and give rain to the land that you gave to your people as a possession.	27 فاسمع انت من السماء واغفر خطية عبيدك وشعبك اسرائيل فتعلمهم الطريق الصالح الذي يسلكون فيه واعطي مطرا على ارضك التي اعطيتها لشعبك ميراثا.
28 If a famine will have risen up in the land, or pestilence, or fungus, or mildew, or locusts, or beetles, or if enemies will have laid waste to the countryside and will have besieged the gates of the cities, or whatever scourge or infirmity will have pressed upon them,	28 اذا صار في الارض جوع اذا صار وبأ او لفح او يرقان او جراد او جردم او اذا حاصرهم اعداؤهم في ارض مدنهم في كل ضربة وكل مرض
29 if anyone from your people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity, will have made supplication and will have extended his hands in this house,	29 فكل صلاة وكل تضرع تكون من اي انسان كان او من كل شعبك اسرائيل الذين يعرفون كل واحد ضربته ووجعه فيبسط يديه نحو هذا البيت
30 you will heed him from heaven, indeed from your sublime habitation, and you will forgive, and you will repay each one according to his ways, which you know him to hold in his heart. For you alone know the hearts of the sons of men.	30 فاسمع انت من السماء مكان سكناك واغفر واعط كل انسان حسب كل طرقه كما تعرف قلبه لانك انت وحدك تعرف قلوب بني البشر.
31 So may they fear you, and so may they walk in your ways, during all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you gave to our fathers.	31 لكي يخافوك ويسيروا في طرقك كل الايام التي يحيون فيها على وجه الارض التي اعطيت لآبائنا.
32 Also, if the outsider, who is not from your people Israel, will have arrived from a far away land, because of your great name, and because of your robust hand and your outstretched arm, and if he will adore in this place,	32 وكذلك الاجنبي الذي ليس هو من شعبك اسرائيل وقد جاء من ارض بعيدة من اجل اسمك العظيم ويدك القوية وذراعك الممدودة فمتى جاءوا وصلّوا في هذا البيت
33 you will heed him from heaven, your most firm habitation, and you will accomplish all the things about which this sojourner will have called out to you, so that all the people of the earth may know your name, and may fear you, just as your people Israel do, and so that they may know that your name is invoked over this house, which I have built.	33 فاسمع انت من السماء مكان سكناك وافعل حسب كل ما يدعوك به الاجنبي لكي يعلم كل شعوب الارض اسمك فيخافوك كشعبك اسرائيل ولكي يعلموا ان اسمك قد دعي على هذا البيت الذي بنيت
34 If, having gone out to war against their adversaries along the way that you will send them, your people adore you facing in the direction of this city, which you have chosen, and of this house, which I have built to your name,	34 اذا خرج شعبك لمحاربة اعدائه في الطريق الذي ترسلهم فيه وصلّوا اليك نحو هذه المدينة التي اخترتها والبيت الذي بنيت لاسمك
35 you will heed their prayers from heaven, and their supplications, and you will vindicate them.	35 فاسمع من السماء صلاتهم وتضرعهم واقضي قضائهم.
36 But if they will have sinned against you (for there is no man who does not sin) and you will have become angry against them, and if you will have delivered them to their enemies, and so they lead them away as captives to a far away land, or even to one that is near,	36 اذا اخطأوا اليك لانه ليس انسان لا يخطئ وغضبت عليهم ودفعتهم امام العدو وسباهم سابوهم الى ارض بعيدة او قريبة
37 and if, having been converted in their heart in the land to which they had been led as captives, they will do penance, and beseech you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have acted unjustly,’	37 فاذا ردّوا الى قلوبهم في الارض التي يسبون اليها ورجعوا وتضرعوا اليك في ارض سبيهم قائلين قد اخطأنا وعوجنا واذنبنا
38 and if they will have returned to you, with their whole heart and with their whole soul, in the land of their captivity to which they were led away, and if they will adore you in the direction of their own land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the house, which I have built to your name,	38 ورجعوا اليك من كل قلوبهم ومن كل انفسهم في ارض سبيهم التي سبوهم اليها وصلّوا نحو ارضهم التي اعطيتها لآبائهم والمدينة التي اخترت والبيت الذي بنيت لاسمك
39 from heaven, that is, from your firm habitation, you will heed their prayers, and you will accomplish judgment, and you will forgive your people, even though they are sinners.	39 فاسمع من السماء من مكان سكناك صلاتهم وتضرعاتهم واقضي قضاءهم واغفر لشعبك ما اخطأوا به اليك.
40 For you are my God. Let your eyes be open, I beg you, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.	40 الآن يا الهي لتكن عيناك مفتوحتين واذناك مصغيتين لصلاة هذا المكان.
41 Now therefore, rise up, O Lord God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your holy ones rejoice in what is good.	41 والآن قم ايها الرب الاله الى راحتك انت وتابوت عزّك. كهنتك ايها الرب الاله يلبسون الخلاص واتقياؤك يبتهجون بالخير
42 O Lord God, may you not turn away from the face of your Christ. Remember the mercies of your servant, David.”	42 ايها الرب الاله لا ترد وجه مسيحك. اذكر مراحم داود عبدك
