Ezra 3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 When the seventh month came, and the sons of Israel were in the towns, the people gathered as one man to Jerusalem.	1 ولما استهل الشهر السابع وبنو اسرائيل في مدنهم اجتمع الشعب كرجل واحد الى اورشليم.
2 Then arose Jeshua the son of Jozadak, with his fellow priests, and Zerubbabel the son of She-alti-el with his kinsmen, and they built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings upon it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.	2 وقام يشوع بن يوصاداق واخوته الكهنة وزربابل بن شألتئيل واخوته وبنوا مذبح اله اسرائيل ليصعدوا عليه محرقات كما هو مكتوب في شريعة موسى رجل الله
3 They set the altar in its place, for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the lands, and they offered burnt offerings upon it to the LORD, burnt offerings morning and evening.	3 واقاموا المذبح في مكانه لانه كان عليهم رعب من شعوب الاراضي واصعدوا عليه محرقات للرب محرقات الصباح والمساء.
4 And they kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number according to the ordinance, as each day required,	4 وحفظوا عيد المظال كما هو مكتوب ومحرقة يوم فيوم بالعدد كالمرسوم أمر اليوم بيومه.
5 and after that the continual burnt offerings, the offerings at the new moon and at all the appointed feasts of the LORD, and the offerings of every one who made a freewill offering to the LORD.	5 وبعد ذلك المحرقة الدائمة وللاهلّة ولجميع مواسم الرب المقدسة ولكل من تبرع بمتبرع للرب.
6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.	6 ابتدأوا من اليوم الاول من الشهر السابع يصعدون محرقات للرب وهيكل الرب لم يكن قد تأسس.
7 So they gave money to the masons and the carpenters, and food, drink, and oil to the Sidonians and the Tyrians to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant which they had from Cyrus king of Persia.	7 واعطوا فضة للنحاتين والنجارين ومأكلا ومشربا وزيتا للصيدونيين والصوريين ليأتوا بخشب ارز من لبنان الى بحر يافا حسب اذن كورش ملك فارس لهم
8 Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of She-alti-el and Jeshua the son of Jozadak made a beginning, together with the rest of their brethren, the priests and the Levites and all who had come to Jerusalem from the captivity. They appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of the LORD.	8 وفي السنة الثانية من مجيئهم الى بيت الله الى اورشليم في الشهر الثاني شرع زربابل بن شألتئيل ويشوع بن يوصاداق وبقية اخوتهم الكهنة واللاويين وجميع القادمين من السبي الى اورشليم واقاموا اللاويين من ابن عشرين سنة فما فوق للمناظرة على عمل بيت الرب.
9 And Jeshua with his sons and his kinsmen, and Kadmi-el and his sons, the sons of Judah, together took the oversight of the workmen in the house of God, along with the sons of Henadad and the Levites, their sons and kinsmen.	9 ووقف يشوع مع بنيه واخوته قدميئيل وبنيه بني يهوذا معا للمناظرة على عاملي الشغل في بيت الله وبني حيناداد مع بنيهم واخوتهم اللاويين.
10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their vestments came forward with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel;	10 ولما أسّس البانون هيكل الرب اقاموا الكهنة بملابسهم بابواق واللاويين بني آساف بالصنوج لتسبيح الرب على ترتيب داود ملك اسرائيل.
11 and they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the LORD, "For he is good, for his steadfast love endures for ever toward Israel." And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.	11 وغنوا بالتسبيح والحمد للرب لانه صالح لان الى الابد رحمته على اسرائيل. وكل الشعب هتفوا هتافا عظيما بالتسبيح للرب لاجل تأسيس بيت الرب.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' houses, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid, though many shouted aloud for joy;	12 وكثيرون من الكهنة واللاويين ورؤوس الآباء الشيوخ الذين رأوا البيت الاول بكوا بصوت عظيم عند تأسيس هذا البيت امام اعينهم. وكثيرون كانوا يرفعون اصواتهم بالهتاف بفرح.
13 so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people's weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard afar.	13 ولم يكن الشعب يميز هتاف الفرح من صوت بكاء الشعب لان الشعب كان يهتف هتافا عظيما حتى ان الصوت سمع من بعد
