< 1 Kings 8 >

1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
Natonto’ i Selomò amy zao o androanavi’ Israeleo, naho o mpiaolom-pifokoañeo, o roandrian’ anjomban-droaen’ ana’ Israeleo, mb’amy Selomò Mpanjaka e Ierosalaimey, hampionjoneñe i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày boak’ an-drova’ i Davide e Tsione ao.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Aa le fonga nifanontoñe amy Selomò amy sabadidakey o nte Israeleo ami’ty saramañitse, ty volam-pahafito.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
Nimb’eo o roandria’ Israele iabio, vaho rinambe’ o mpisoroñeo i vatay.
4 And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.
Nampionjone’ iereo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày naho i kibohom-pamantañañey naho ze hene fanake amy kibohotsey; nampionjone’ o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio.
5 And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
Niharo niaolo i vatay t’i Se­lomò mpanjaka naho i valobohò’ Israele nifamory ama’ey, le nisoroñe añondry naho añombe tsy nilefe talily ndra iake ami’ty fifamorohota’e.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
Le nendese’ o mpisoroñeo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày mb’an-toe’e, mb’an-toe-miava’ i anjombay, mb’amy masiñe do’ey, ambane’ o ela’ i kerobe reio.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves of it above.
Fa nivelare’ i kerobe rey ambone’ i toe’ i vataiy o ela’eo vaho tinako’ i kerobe rey i vatay naho o baom-pitarazoa’eo.
8 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle. But they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.
Aa akore ty halava’ i baom-pitarazoañe rey kanao isake amy toe-miavakey aolo’ i toe-masiñey, f’ie tsy oniñe boak’ alafe’e ao; mbe eo irezay henanekeo.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb when Jehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Vata koake re naho tsy i takelam-bato nagodo’ i Mosè ao e Korebe añe rey, ie nifañina amo ana’ Israeleo t’Iehovà, t’ie niavotse an-tane Mitsraime.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
Aa ie nivovotse boak’ amy miavakey o mpisoroñeo, le nañatseke i anjomba’ Iehovày i rahoñey;
11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
vaho tsy nahafijohañe eo hitoroñe o mpisoroñeo amy te na­tsafe’ ty enge’ Iehovà ty anjomba’ Iehovà.
12 Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Aa le hoe t’i Selomò: Fa nitsarae’ Iehovà t’ie himoneñe an-drahoñe milodolodo ao.
13 I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in forever.
Toe namboarako anjomba fimoneñan-dRehe, toetse himoneña’o nainai’e donia.
14 And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
Nampitoli-daharañe am’ izao i mpanjakay, nitata i valobohò’ Israeley, vaho hene niongake i valobohò’ Israeley.
15 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
Le hoe re: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, ie ni­tsara am-palie amy Davide raeko vaho nifonire’e am-pità’e ami’ ty hoe:
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there, but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
Sikal’ amy andro nampiavoteko amy Mitsraime ondatiko Israeleoy, le tsy eo ty rova nijoboñeko amo hene fifokoa’ Israeleo hañamboarako anjomba, hampipohako ty añarako, naho tsy i Davide ty jinoboko hifehe ondatiko Israeleo.
17 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Toe tañ’ arofo’ i Davide raeko ty hamboatse anjomba ho a i tahina’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ Israeley.
18 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.
Fe nanao ty hoe amy Davide raekoy t’Iehovà: Amy te añ’ arofo’o ty handranjy akiba ho ami’ty añarako, le nanao soa kanao tañ’arofo’o;
19 Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
fe tsy ihe ty hamboatse i anjombay, fa i ana-dahy hiboak’ an-tro’oy, ie ty handranjy ty anjomba ho ami’ty añarako.
20 And Jehovah has established his word that he spoke, for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Fa najado’ Iehovà i tsara nanoe’ey amy te nitroatse an-toe’ i Davide raeko iraho naho mitobok’ am-piambesa’ Israele eo ty amy tsara’ Iehovà, vaho namonitse ty anjomba ho a i tahina’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ Israeley.
21 And there I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Le nampitoereko ao i vatay, ama’e ao i fañina’ Iehovà nanoe’e an-droaentika am-pampi­engae’e iereo an-tane Mitsraimeiy.
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
Le nijohañe aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovày t’i Selomò añatrefa’ i valobohò’ Israeley, vaho nonjone’e mb’an-dikerañe ey o fità’eo,
23 And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,
nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, tsy eo t’i Andrianañahare manahak’ azo andin­dimoneñe añe ndra an-tane ambane atoy ze mahatambozòtse fañina naho ty fiferenaiñañe amo mpitoro’o mpañavelo añatrefa’o an-kaampon-trokeo;
24 who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou did promise him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
ie naha-tañe i tsinara’o am-pitoro’o Davide raekoy; toe tsinara’o am-palie vaho nihenefa’o am-pitàñe o isake henanekeo.
25 Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou have walked before me.
Ie amy zao, ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, afaharo amy mpitoro’o Davide raekoy, i tsinara’o ama’ey ami’ty hoe: Tsy ho po-ondaty hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ Israeley am-pahatreavako irehe, naho toe ambena’ o ana’oo ty lala’ iareo hañavelo añatrefako manahake o fañaveloa’oo.
26 Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David my father.
Ie amy zao ry Andria­nañahare’ Israele, ehe te ho venteseñe i tsara tsinara’o amy mpitoro’o Davide raekoiy.
27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house that I have built!
Aa vaho himoneñe an-tane atoy vata’e hao t’i Andrianañahare? kanao tsy mahatañ’ Azo i likerañey ndra i like­ran-dindimoneñey; sandrake ty anjomba rinanjiko toy!
28 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee this day,
Fa ehe haoño ty halali’ i mpitoro’oy, naho i fiambanea’ey ry Iehovà Andriana­ñahareko, janjiño ty toreo naho hàtake saboe’ ty mpitoro’o ama’o henaneo;
29 that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou have said, My name shall be there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
te hisokake handro an-kàleñe mb’ ami’ty anjomba toy o fihaino’oo, mb’ amy toetse nitsarae’o ty hoe: Ho ao ty añarako; hahajanjiña’o o halaly ho halalie’ ty mpitoro’o mb’ ami’ ty toetse toio.
30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and when thou hear, forgive.
Janjiño ty fidrakadrakafam-pitoro’o, naho ondati’o Israeleo, ie misabo mb’ami’ty toetse toy; janjiño am-pimoneña’o andindiñe ao; mijanjiña vaho mañahà.
31 If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,
Naho anañan-drañetse hakeo t’indaty, naho ampititihen-dre, ie mb’eo mifanta añatrefa’ ty kitreli’o añ’anjomba atoy;
32 then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
le mijanjiña andin­dimoneñe ao, naho mitoloña, vaho zakao o mpitoro’oo, taroño amy ratiy t’ie raty, hampibalike o hatsivokara’eo añ’ ambone’eo; naho meo tò ty vantañe, hañolo­rañe aze mañeva i fahiti’ey.
33 When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication to thee in this house,
Aa ie zevoeñe aolon-drafe­lahy ondati’o Israeleo, t’ie aman-tahiñe ama’o; naho mimpoly ama’o naho mamela-pitàn-droe amy tahina’oy, naho misoloho vaho mihalaly ama’o ami’ty anjomba toy,
34 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to their fathers.
le mijanjiña andindimoneñe ao, naho hahao o hakeo’ ondati’o Isra­eleoo vaho ampolio mb’an-tane’ natolo’o an-droae’ iareo mb’atoy.
35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou afflict them,
Ie migabeñe i likerañey, tsy avy i orañey kanao nandilatse ama’o iereo, le ie misoloho mb’ami’ty toetse toy mamela-pitan-droe amy tahina’oy naho miamboho amy hakeo nampisotria’o iareoy,
36 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.
le mijanjiña andikerañe ao, naho apoho ty tahi’ o mpitoro’oo naho ondati’o Israeleo vaho anaro iareo i lalam-bantañe fañaveloañey, ham­pahavia’o orañe i tane’o na­tolo’o am’ondati’oo ho lovay.
37 If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there be,
Naho kerè i taney, he angorosy ke pozy he tromambo ke valala he beañe, ke forokeken-drafelahi’e o rova an-tane’eo; ke kiria ino, hera areteñ’ ino;
38 whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house,
le ze halaly ndra soloho anoe’ t’indaty ndra ze hene ondati’o Israeleo, ie songa fohi’e ty hìla an-tro’e ao vaho mamela-pitan-droe mb’ami’ty anjomba toy,
39 then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of all the sons of men),
le mijanjiña andin­diñe añe, amy akiba-pimoneña’oy, le apoho naho mitoloña, vaho sindre toloro ty amo sata’eo t’indaty, fa arofoana’o ty tro’e (amy te Ihe avao ro maharofoanañe ty arofo’ o ana’ ondatio),
40 that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.
hañeveña’ iereo ama’o amo hene andro hiveloma’ iareo an-tane natolo’o aman-droae’aio.
41 Moreover concerning the foreigner who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake
Le i renetane tsy boak’ am’ ondati’o Israeleoy, ie hirike tsietoitane añe ty amy tahina’oy —
42 (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house,
kanao ho janjiñe’e i ta­hina’o ra’e­lahiy naho i fità’o maozatsey vaho i fità’o natora­kitsi’oy— ie miheo mb’ etoa hitalaho mb’ami’ty anjomba toy;
43 hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as does thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
le mijanjiña andindimoneñe an-toe-pimoneña’o ao, naho henefo o kanjia’ i renetaney azoo; hahafohina’ ze kila’ ondati’ ty tane toy ty tahina’o, hañeveñe ama’o, manahake ondati’o Israeleo, hahafohina’ iareo te kanjieñe ami’ty anjomba niranjieko toy i tahina’oy.
44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,
Aa ie mionjomb’ an-kotakotak’ amo rafelahi’eo ondati’oo, ndra mb’ aia aia ty hañiraha’o iareo, vaho mihalaly am’ Iehovà mb’amy rova nijoboñe’oy, mb’ amy anjomba namboareko ho amy tahina’oiy;
45 then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
le janjiño an-dikerañe ao i sabo’ iareoy, naho i halali’ iareoy vaho meo to.
46 If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, afar off or near,
Ie miota ama’o—amy te tsy eo ze ondaty tsy mandilatse zao—le iviñera’o vaho atolo’o an-dra­felahi’ iareo, hasese an-drohy mb’an-tanen-drafelahy añe, ke te lavitse he marine;
47 yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly,
le ie mitsa­kore an-tane naneseañe iareo an-drohy añe, naho mitolike naho midrakadrakak’ ama’o an-tane’ o naneseañe iareo an-drohio, manao ty hoe: Nanao hakeo zahay, nanao hatsi­vokarañe, vaho nitolon-karatiañe;
48 if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, the city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,
ie mimpoly ama’o an’ kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova an-tanen-drafelahi’ o nanese iareo an-drohio, naho mitalaho ama’o mb’an-tane natolo’o aman-droae’ iareo, mb’androva jinobo’o toy; vaho mb’amy anjomba niranjieko ho amy tahina’oiy;
49 then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their case,
le janjiño ty halali’ iareo naho ty fisa­boa’ iareo mb’ an-toe-pimoneña’o andindimoneñe añe, vaho meo to;
50 and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions by which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
naho apoho o hakeo nandilara’ ondati’o ama’oo, naho o fiolàñe niolà’ iareo; le iferenaiño añatrefa’ o ninday iareo an-drohy mb’eo hitre­treza’ iareo;
51 (for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);
amy t’ie ondati’o, i lova’o na­kare’o amy Mitsraime, boak’ añivo i toñake viñey.
52 that thine eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them whenever they cry to thee.
Ehe manokafa fihai­no amo hala­lim-pitoro’oo naho ami’ty fisolohoa’ on­dati’o Israeleo, hi­ha­oña’o ndra mbia’ mbia ty itoreova’ iareo.
53 For thou separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spoke by Moses thy servant when thou brought our fathers out of Egypt, O lord Jehovah.
Amy t’ie navahe’o amo hene ondati’ ty tane toio, ho lova’o, amy nitsarae’o am-pità’ i Mosè mpitoro’oy, ie nampi­avote’o amy Mitsraime o roae’aio, ry Talè Iehovà.
54 And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
Ie nagado’ i Selomò ty nitaroñe’e i hene halaly naho soloho am’ Iehovà rezay le niongak’ aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovày, amy niton­galefa’e naho namelatse fi­tañe mb’an-dindim-b’eoy,
55 And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
le nijohañe vaho nitata i hene valobohò’ Israele am-pazake ty hoe:
56 Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
Andriañeñe t’Iehovà nanolo-pitofàñe am’ondati’eo ty amo tsara’e iabio; leo raike tsy nipok’ amo tsara’e soa nampitama’e am-pità’ i Mose mpitoro’eo.
57 Jehovah our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us,
Ho aman-tika t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika, manahake t’ie nimpiaman-droaen-tikañe; lonike t’ie tsy hienga antika, tsy haforintse’e;
58 that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
fa hampitoliha’e mb’ama’e o arofon-tikañeo, hañaveloan-tika amo lala’eo, hañorike o lili’eo naho o fañè’eo vaho o fepètse linili’e an-droaen-tikañeo.
59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require,
Le ehe te harine’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika handro an-kaleñe o entañe nihalalieko am’ Iehovào, hañomea’e to i mpitoro’ey naho ondati’e Israeleo, ami’ty fañeva’e boak’ andro;
60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.
hahafohina’ ze hene ondati’ ty tane toy t’Iehovà, t’ie ro Andrianañahare tsy aman-tovo’e.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Ee abey te ho am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika an-kaliforan’ arofo nahareo, hañavelo amo fañè’eo, naho hañori­ke o lili’eo, manahake henaneo.
62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.
Le fonga nañenga soroñe añatrefa’ Iehovà eo i mpanjakay naho Israele ni­trao­k’ ama’e.
63 And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.
Bi­nanabana’ i Selomò amy engam-panintsiñañe nisoroña’e am’ Iehovày ty añombe roe-ale-tsi-ro’ arivo, naho añondry rai-hetse-tsi-ro’ale. Izay ty nañoriza’ i mpanjakay naho o ana’ Israeleo ty anjomba’ Iehovà.
64 The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
Amy àndroy ka ty nañoriza’ i mpanjakay ty añivo’ i kiririsa aolo’ i anjomba’ Iehovày; fa teo ty nañenga’e o soroñeo, naho o enga-mahakamao, naho ty safo’ o engam-panintsiñañeo; amy te ni-loho kede ty kitrely torisike añatrefa’ Iehovà, tsy ho ni-tsahatse aze i nisoroñañe naho i enga-mahakama vaho safo’ o engam-panintsiñañeo rezay.
65 So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
Aa le nambena’ i Selo­mò miharo am’ Israele iaby henane zay i sabadidakey, nivalobohòke jabajaba boak’ am-pimoahañe e Kamate, pak’ an-toraha’ i Mitsraime añe añ’atrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tikañe, fito andro nitovoñañe fito; andro folo-efats’ amby.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
Nampolie’e amy andro fahavaloy ondatio, naho nandriañe’ iareo i mpanjakay naho songa noly mb’an-kiboho’e mb’eo an-drebeke naho añ’ arofo mifale ty amo hene hasoa nanoe’ Iehovà amy Davide mpitoro’ey vaho am’ Israele ondati’eo.
