1 Re ( ملوك) 9

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وكان لما اكمل سليمان بناء بيت الرب وبيت الملك وكل مرغوب سليمان الذي سرّ ان يعمل	1 And it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all that he desired, and was pleased to do,
2 ان الرب تراءى لسليمان ثانية كما تراءى له في جبعون.	2 That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon.
3 وقال له الرب قد سمعت صلاتك وتضرعك الذي تضرعت به امامي. قدّست هذا البيت الذي بنيته لاجل وضع اسمي فيه الى الابد وتكون عيناي وقلبي هناك كل الايام.	3 And the Lord said to him: I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, which thou hast made before me: I have sanctified this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever, and my eyes and my heart shall be there always.
4 وانت ان سلكت امامي كما سلك داود ابوك بسلامة قلب واستقامة وعملت حسب كل ما اوصيتك وحفظت فرائضي واحكامي	4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness: and wilt do all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my ordinances and my judgments,
5 فاني اقيم كرسي ملكك على اسرائيل الى الابد كما كلمت داود اباك قائلا لا يعدم لك رجل عن كرسي اسرائيل.	5 I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised David thy father, saying: There shall not fail a man of thy race upon the throne of Israel.
6 ان كنتم تنقلبون انتم او ابناؤكم من ورائي ولا تحفظون وصاياي فرائضي التي جعلتها امامكم بل تذهبون وتعبدون آلهة اخرى وتسجدون لها	6 But if you and your children revolting shall turn away from following me, and will not keep my commandments, and my ceremonies, which I have set before you, but will go and worship strange gods, and adore them:
7 فاني اقطع اسرائيل عن وجه الارض التي اعطيتهم اياها والبيت الذي قدسته لاسمي انفيه من امامي ويكون اسرائيل مثلا وهزأة في جميع الشعوب.	7 I will take away Israel from the face of the land which I have given them; and the temple which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb, and a byword among all people.
8 وهذا البيت يكون عبرة. كل من يمرّ عليه يتعجب ويصفر ويقولون لماذا عمل الرب هكذا لهذه الارض ولهذا البيت.	8 And this house shall be made an example of: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house:
9 فيقولون من اجل انهم تركوا الرب الههم الذي اخرج آباءهم من ارض مصر وتمسّكوا بآلهة اخرى وسجدوا لها وعبدوها لذلك جلب الرب عليهم كل هذا الشر	9 And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and followed strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
10 وبعد نهاية عشرين سنة بعدما بني سليمان البيتين بيت الرب وبيت الملك.	10 And when twenty years were ended after Solomon had built the two houses, that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
11 وكان حيرام ملك صور قد ساعف سليمان بخشب ارز وخشب سرو وذهب حسب كل مسرّته. اعطى حينئذ الملك سليمان حيرام عشرين مدينة في ارض الجليل.	11 11(Hiram the king of Tyre furnishing Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and gold according to all he had need of.) then Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 فخرج حيرام من صور ليرى المدن التي اعطاه اياها سليمان فلم تحسن في عينيه.	12 And Hiram came out of Tyre, to see the towns which Solomon had given him, and they pleased him not,
13 فقال ما هذه المدن التي اعطيتني يا اخي. ودعاها ارض كابول الى هذا اليوم.	13 And he said: Are these the cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them the land of Chabul, unto this day.
14 وارسل حيرام للملك مئة وعشرين وزنة ذهب	14 And Hiram sent to king Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15 وهذا هو سبب التسخير الذي جعله الملك سليمان لبناء بيت الرب وبيته والقلعة وسور اورشليم وحاصور ومجدو وجازر.	15 This is the sum of the expenses, which king Solomon offered to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Mello, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Heser, and Mageddo, and Gazer.
16 صعد فرعون ملك مصر واخذ جازر واحرقها بالنار وقتل الكنعانيين الساكنين في المدينة واعطاها مهرا لابنته امرأة سليمان.	16 Pharao the king of Egypt came up and took Gazer, and burnt it with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 وبنى سليمان جازر وبيت حورون السفلى	17 So Solomon built: Gazer, and Beth-horon the nether,
18 وبعلة وتدمر في البرية في الارض	18 And Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.
19 وجميع مدن المخازن التي كانت لسليمان ومدن المركبات ومدن الفرسان ومرغوب سليمان الذي رغب ان يبنيه في اورشليم وفي لبنان وفي كل ارض سلطنته.	19 And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified, the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 جميع الشعب الباقين من الاموريين والحثّيين والفرزّيين والحويين واليبوسيين الذين ليسوا من بني اسرائيل	20 All the people that were left of the Amorrhites, and Hethites, and Pherezites, and Hevites, and Jebusites, that are not of the children of Israel:
21 ابناؤهم الذين بقوا بعدهم في الارض الذين لم يقدر بنو اسرائيل ان يحرموهم جعل عليهم سليمان تسخير عبيد الى هذا اليوم.	21 Their children, that were left in the land, to wit, such as the children of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary unto this day.
22 واما بنو اسرائيل فلم يجعل سليمان منهم عبيدا لانهم رجال القتال وخدامه وامراؤه وثوالثه ورؤساء مركباته وفرسانه.	22 But of the children of Israel Solomon made not any to be bondmen, but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and captains, and overseers of the chariots and horses.
23 هؤلاء رؤساء الموكلين على اعمال سليمان خمس مئة وخمسون الذين كانوا يتسلطون على الشعب العاملين العمل	23 And there were five hundred and fifty chief officers set over all the works of Solomon, and they had people under them, and had charge over the appointed works.
24 ولكن بنت فرعون صعدت من مدينة داود الى بيتها الذي بناه لها. حينئذ بنى القلعة.	24 And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello.
25 وكان سليمان يصعد ثلاث مرات في السنة محرقات وذبائح سلامة على المذبح الذي بناه للرب وكان يوقد على الذي امام الرب. واكمل البيت	25 Solomon also offered three times every year holocausts, and victims of peace offerings upon the altar which he had built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord: and the temple was finished.
26 وعمل الملك سليمان سفنا في عصيون جابر التي بجانب ايلة على شاطئ بحر سوف في ارض ادوم.	26 And king Solomon made a fleet in Asiongaber, which is by Ailath on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.
27 فارسل حيرام في السفن عبيده النواتي العارفين بالبحر مع عبيد سليمان.	27 And Hiram sent his servants in the fleet, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 فأتوا الى اوفير واخذوا من هناك ذهبا اربع مئة وزنة وعشرين وزنة وأتوا بها الى الملك سليمان	28 And they came to Ophir, and they brought from thence to king Solomon four hundred and twenty talents of gold.
