SVD Arabic Bible: Smith–Van Dyck (1865)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 وَلَمَّا ٱسْتُهِلَّ ٱلشَّهْرُ ٱلسَّابِعُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مُدُنِهِمُ، ٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلشَّعْبُ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.
1 When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 وَقَامَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ يُوصَادَاقَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ، وَزَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ، وَبَنَوْا مَذْبَحَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُصْعِدُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى رَجُلِ ٱللهِ.
2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 وَأَقَامُوا ٱلْمَذْبَحَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ رُعْبٌ مِنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَأَصْعَدُوا عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ، مُحْرَقَاتِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَٱلْمَسَاءِ.
3 In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 وَحَفِظُوا عِيدَ ٱلْمَظَالِّ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ، وَمُحْرَقَةَ يَوْمٍ فَيَوْمٍ بِٱلْعَدَدِ كَٱلْمَرْسُومِ، أَمْرَ ٱلْيَوْمِ بِيَوْمِهِ.
4 They kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
5 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةُ ٱلدَّائِمَةُ، وَلِلْأَهِلَّةِ وَلِجَمِيعِ مَوَاسِمِ ٱلرّبِّ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَلِكُلِّ مَن تبرَّعَ بِمُتَبَرَّعٍ لِلرَّبِّ.
5 and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a free will offering to Yahweh.
6 ٱبْتَدَأُوا مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ يُصْعِدُونَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ، وَهَيْكَلُ ٱلرَّبِّ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ تَأَسَّسَ.
6 From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was not yet laid.
7 وَأَعْطَوْا فِضَّةً لِلنَّحَّاتِينَ وَٱلنَّجَّارِينَ، وَمَأْكَلًا وَمَشْرَبًا وَزَيْتًا لِلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَٱلصُّورِيِّينَ لِيَأْتُوا بِخَشَبِ أَرْزٍ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ إِلَى بَحْرِ يَافَا، حَسَبَ إِذْنِ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ لَهُمْ.
7 They also gave money to the masons and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus King of Persia.
8 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ مَجِيئِهِمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، شَرَعَ زَرُبَّابِلُ بْنُ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ يُوصَادَاقَ وَبَقِيَّةُ إِخْوَتِهِمِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْقَادِمِينَ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْيِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَقَامُوا ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ لِلْمُنَاظَرَةِ عَلَى عَمَلِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.
8 Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of Yahweh’s house.
9 وَوَقَفَ يَشُوعُ مَعَ بَنِيهِ وَإِخْوَتِهِ، قَدْمِيئِيلَ وَبَنِيهِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا مَعًا لِلْمُنَاظَرَةِ عَلَى عَامِلِي ٱلشُّغْلِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، وَبَنِي حِينَادَادَ مَعَ بَنِيهِمْ وَإِخْوَتِهِمِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ.
9 Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
10 وَلَمَّا أَسَّسَ ٱلْبَانُونَ هَيْكَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَقَامُوا ٱلْكَهَنَةَ بِمَلَابِسِهِمْ بِأَبْوَاقٍ، وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَنِي آسَافَ بِٱلصُّنُوجِ، لِتَسْبِيحِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى تَرْتِيبِ دَاوُدَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
10 When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, they set the priests in their vestments with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11 وَغَنَّوْا بِٱلتَّسْبِيحِ وَٱلْحَمْدِ لِلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَكُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ هَتَفُوا هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا بِٱلتَّسْبِيحِ لِلرَّبِّ لِأَجْلِ تَأْسِيسِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.
11 They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of Yahweh’s house had been laid.
12 وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَرُؤُوسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا ٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ، بَكَوْا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ عِنْدَ تَأْسِيسِ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ. وَكَثِيرُونَ كَانُوا يَرْفَعُونَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِٱلْهُتَافِ بِفَرَحٍ.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
13 وَلَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلشَّعْبُ يُمَيِّزُ هُتَافَ ٱلْفَرَحِ مِنْ صَوْتِ بُكَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ كَانَ يَهْتِفُ هُتَافًا عَظِيمًا حَتَّى أَنَّ ٱلصَّوْتَ سُمِعَ مِنْ بُعْدٍ.
13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
