2 Chronicles 8

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And at the end of twenty years after Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house:	1 وبعد نهاية عشرين سنة بعد ان بنى سليمان بيت الرب وبيته
2 He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.	2 بنى سليمان المدن التي اعطاها حورام لسليمان واسكن فيها بني اسرائيل.
3 He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it.	3 وذهب سليمان الى حماة صوبة وقوي عليها.
4 And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities in Emath.	4 وبنى تدمر في البرية وجميع مدن المخازن التي بناها في حماة.
5 And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, walled cities with Rates and bars and locks.	5 وبنى بيت حورون العليا وبيت حورون السفلى مدنا حصينة باسوار وابواب وعوارض.
6 Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon's, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.	6 وبعلة وكل مدن المخازن التي كانت لسليمان وجميع مدن المركبات ومدن الفرسان وكل مرغوب سليمان الذي رغب ان يبنيه في اورشليم وفي لبنان وفي كل ارض سلطانه.
7 All the people that were left of the Hethites, and the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that were not of the stock of Israel:	7 اما جميع الشعب الباقي من الحثّيين والاموريين والفرزّيين والحويين واليبوسيين الذين ليسوا من اسرائيل
8 Of their children, and of the posterity, whom the children of Israel had not slain, Solomon made to be the tributaries, unto this day.	8 من بنيهم الذين بقوا بعدهم في الارض الذين لم يفنهم بنو اسرائيل فجعل سليمان عليهم سخرة الى هذا اليوم.
9 But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king's works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen.	9 واما بنو اسرائيل فلم يجعل سليمان منهم عبيدا لشغله لانهم رجال القتال ورؤساء قوّاده ورؤساء مركباته وفرسانه.
10 And all the chief captains of king Solomon's army were two hundred and fifty, who taught the people.	10 وهؤلاء رؤساء الموكلين الذين للملك سليمان مئتان وخمسون المتسلطون على الشعب.
11 And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it.	11 واما بنت فرعون فاصعدها سليمان من مدينة داود الى البيت الذي بناه لها لانه قال لا تسكن امرأة لي في بيت داود ملك اسرائيل لان الاماكن التي دخل اليها تابوت الرب انما هي مقدسة
12 Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch,	12 حينئذ اصعد سليمان محرقات للرب على مذبح الرب الذي بناه قدام الرواق.
13 That every day an offering might be made on it according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.	13 أمر كل يوم بيومه من المحرقات حسب وصية موسى في السبوت والاهلّة والمواسم ثلاث مرات في السنة في عيد الفطير وعيد الاسابيع وعيد المظال.
14 And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded.	14 واوقف حسب قضاء داود ابيه فرق الكهنة على خدمتهم واللاويين على حراساتهم للتسبيح والخدمة امام الكهنة عمل كل يوم بيومه والبوابين حسب فرقهم على كل باب. لانه هكذا هي وصية داود رجل الله.
15 And the priests and Levites departed not from the king's commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the keeping of the treasures.	15 ولم يحيدوا عن وصية الملك على الكهنة واللاويين في كل أمر وفي الخزائن.
16 Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it.	16 فتهيّأ كل عمل سليمان الى يوم تأسيس بيت الرب والى نهايته. فكمل بيت الرب
17 Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom.	17 حينئذ ذهب سليمان الى عصيون جابر والى ايلة على شاطئ البحر في ارض ادوم.
18 And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his servants, and skilful mariners, and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon.	18 وارسل له حورام بيد عبيده سفنا وعبيدا يعرفون البحر فأتوا مع عبيد سليمان الى اوفير واخذوا من هناك اربع مئة وخمسين وزنة ذهب واتوا بها الى الملك سليمان
