2 Chronicles 6
1 Then, said Solomon, —Yahweh, said, that he would make his habitation in thick gloom;
Dia hoy Solomona: Jehovah efa nilaza fa hitoetra ao amin’ ny aizim-pito Izy.
2 But, I, have built a house as a home for thee, —A settled place for thee to abide in, for ages.
Nefa izaho efa nanao trano hitoeranao tokoa, dia fitoerana hitoeranao mandrakizay.
3 And the king turned about his face, and blessed all the convocation of Israel, —while, all the convocation of Israel, was standing;
Ary ny mpanjaka nitodika ka nitso-drano ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra (nitsangana avokoa ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra),
4 and he said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, who spake with his mouth, unto David my father, -and, with his hand, hath fulfilled, saying:
ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, fa ny vavany efa niteny tamin’ i Davida raiko, ary ny tànany no nahatanteraka izany taminy, dia ilay hoe:
5 From the day I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I made choice of no city, out of all the tribes of Israel, for building a house, where my Name might be, —neither made I choice of any man, to be chief ruler over my people Israel:
Hatramin’ ny andro nitondrako ny oloko nivoaka avy tany Egypta dia tsy mbola nisy tanàna nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ isiraely rehetra hanaovana trano mba hitoeran’ ny anarako; ary tsy nisy olona nofidiko ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely oloko;
6 nevertheless I have made choice of Jerusalem, that my Name might be there, —and I have made choice of David, that he might be over my people Israel.
fa nifidy an’ i Jerosalema Aho hitoeran’ ny anarako, ary nifidy an’ i Davida Aho hanapaka ny Isiraely oloko.
7 And so it came to pass, that it was near the heart of David my father, —to build a house, to the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel.
Ary efa mby tao am-pon’ i Davida raiko ny hanao trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
8 Then said Yahweh unto David my father, Because it was near thy heart to build a house for my Name, thou didst well that it was near thy heart:
Nefa hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Davida raiko: Satria tao am-ponao ny fikasana hanao trano ho an’ ny anarako, dia tsara izany fikasanao izany.
9 Only, thou thyself, must not build the house, —but, thine own son, that proceedeth out of thy loins—he, shall build the house for my Name.
Kanefa tsy ianao no hanao ny trano, fa ny zanakao izay haterakao, izy no hanao ny trano ho an’ ny anarako.
10 So then Yahweh hath established his word, which he spake, —and I have been raised up instead of David my father, and have taken my seat upon the throne of Israel, as spake Yahweh, and have built the house to the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel;
Ary Jehovah efa nahatanteraka ny teniny izay nolazainy, koa nitsangana handimby an’ i Davida raiko aho ary mipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely tahaka ny efa nolazain’ i Jehovah, sady efa nanao ny trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, aho.
11 and have put there, the ark, —wherein is the covenant of Yahweh, —which he solemnised with the sons of Israel.
Ary napetrako tao ny fiara izay itoeran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, ilay nataony tamin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely.
12 Then stood he before the altar of Yahweh, in the presence of all the convocation of Israel, —and spread forth his hands;
Ary Solomona nitsangana teo anoloan’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ka namelatra ny tànany
13 for Solomon had made a platform of bronze, and had set it in the midst of the enclosure, five cubits, the length thereof, and, five cubits, the breadth thereof, and, three cubits, the height thereof, -and he stood thereon, and knelt upon his knees, in the presence of all the convocation of Israel, and spread forth his hands, heavenward;
fa efa nanao fitaingenana varahina izy, ary napetrany teo afovoan’ ny kianja io (dimy hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy hakiho ny sakany, ary telo hakiho ny hahavony); dia nitsangana teo amin’ io izy ka nandohalika teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ary namelatra ny tànany manandrify ny lanitra
14 and said, O Yahweh! God of Israel, Not like unto thee, is there a god, in the heavens, or throughout the earth, —who keepest Covenant and Lovingkindness for thy servants who are walking before thee with all their heart:
ka nanao hoe: Ry Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, tsy misy Andriamanitra tahaka Anao, na any an-danitra na etỳ an-tany, Izay mitandrina ny fanekenao sy ny famindram-ponao ho an’ ny mpanomponao izay mandeha eo anatrehanao amin’ ny fony rehetra,
15 who hast kept, for thy servant David my father, that which thou didst promise him, —in that thou didst promise with thy mouth, and, with thy hand, hast fulfilled, as [it is] this day.
sady efa nahatanteraka tamin’ i Davida raiko mpanomponao ilay nolazainao taminy; fa nolazain’ ny vavanao izany, dia notanterahin’ ny tananao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.
16 Now, therefore, O Yahweh—God of Israel, keep thou, for thy servant David my father, that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not be cut off to thee a man, from before me, to sit upon the throne of Israel, if only, thy sons take heed to their way, to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
Koa tanteraho amin’ i Davida raiko mpanomponao, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, ilay nolazainao taminy hoe: Tsy ho diso zanakalahy eo anatrehako ianao hipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely, raha ny zanakao mitandrina ny alehany ka mankatò ny lalàko tahaka ny nandehananao teo anatrehako.
17 Now, therefore, O Yahweh, God of Israel, -verified be thy promise, which thou didst make unto thy servant David.
Koa ankehitriny, ry Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, mifona amina aho, aoka ho tò anie ny teninao, izay nolazainao tamin’ i Davida mpanomponao.
18 But, in very deed, will God dwell with man on the earth? Lo! the heavens, even the leaven of heavens, cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built!
Andriamanitra va dia honina amin’ ny olona etỳ an-tany tokoa? He! ny lanitra, ary ny lanitry ny lanitra aza, tsy omby Anao, koa mainka fa ity trano nataoko ity!
19 Wilt thou then turn unto the prayer of thy servant and unto his supplication, O Yahweh my God, —to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer, wherewith thy servant is praying before thee:
Koa atreho ny fivavaka sy ny fifonan’ ny mpanomponao, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, mba hohenoinao ny fitarainana sy ny fivavaka izay ataon’ ny mpanomponao eto anatrehanao,
20 that thine eyes may be open toward this house, day and night, toward the place of which thou hast said thou wouldst set thy Name there, —to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant may pray towards this place:
mba hihiratan’ ny masonao andro aman’ alina amin’ ity trano ity, dia amin’ ny fitoerana nolazainao hoe: Ao no hasiako ny anarako, hihainoanao ny vavaka izay ataon’ ny mpanomponao manatrika ity fitoerana ity.
21 wilt thou therefore hearken unto the supplications of thy servant, and thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place, —yea wilt, thou thyself, hear, out of thine own dwelling-place, out of the heavens, and, when thou hearest, then wilt thou forgive?
Ary henoy ny fifonan’ ny mpanomponao sy ny Isiraely olonao, raha mivavaka manatrika ity fitoerana ity izy; dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao; eny, mihainoa, ka mamelà heloka.
22 If a man shall sin against his neighbour, and there shall be laid upon him an oath, to put him on oath, —and an oath shall come before thine altar in this house,
Raha misy olona manota amin’ ny namany, ary ampianianiny, ka tonga hianiana eo anoloan’ ny alitaranao amin’ ity trano ity izy,
23 then wilt, thou thyself, hear out of the heavens, and act, and judge thy servants, bringing back unto the lawless, to set his way upon his own head, —and justifying the righteous, by giving to him, according to his righteousness?
dia mihainoa any an-danitra Hianao, ka manaova, ary mitsarà ny mpanomponao, hamaly ny ratsy fanahy ka hampitsingerina ny nataony ho amin’ ny lohany, ary hanamarina ny marina kosa ka hanome azy araka ny fahamarinany.
24 Or, if thy people Israel be smitten before an enemy, because they have been sinning against thee, —and they turn, and confess thy Name, and pray and make supplication before thee, in this house,
Raha resy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalo ny Isiraely olonao noho ny nanotany taminao, ary miverina sy manaiky ny anaranao indray ka mivavaka sy mifona eto anatrehanao amin’ ity trano ity izy,
25 then wilt, thou thyself, hear out of the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, —and bring them back unto the soil, which thou didst give to them and to their fathers?
dia mihainoa any an-danitra, Hianao, ka mamelà ny fahotan’ ny Isiraely olonao, ary ampodio amin’ ny tany nomenao azy sy ny razany izy.
26 When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain, because they have been sinning against thee, —and they shall pray towards this place, and shall confess thy Name, from their sin, shall return, because thou hast been afflicting them,
Raha mihantona ny andro, ka tsy misy ranonorana noho ny nanotan’ ny olona taminao, ary mivavaka manatrika ity fitoerana ity izy ka manaiky ny anaranao sady miala amin’ ny fahotany, satria ampahorinao,
27 then wilt, thou thyself, hear [out of] the heavens and forgive the sin of thy servants, and thy people Israel, that thou mayest direct them into the good way, wherein they should walk, —and give rain, upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people, for an inheritance?
dia mihainoa any an-danitra Hianao, ka mamelà ny fahotan’ ny mpanomponao, dia ny Isiraely olonao, satria atoronao azy ny lalana tsara izay tokony halehany, ary mandatsaha ranonorana amin’ ny taninao, izay nomenao ho lovan’ ny olonao.
28 When there shall be, a famine, in the land, when there shall be, a pestilence, —when there shall be, blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar, —when their enemy shall besiege them in the land at their own gates-whatsoever plague or whatsoever sickness; -
Raha misy mosary amin’ ny tany, na areti-mandringana, na mainan’ ny rivotra ny vary, na maty fotsy, na misy valala sy sompanga, na misy fahavalo manao fahirano azy ao amin’ ny taniny, dia ao amin’ ny tanànany, na inona fahoriana, na inona aretina,
29 whatsoever prayer, whatsoever supplication, which any son of earth may have, or any of thy people Israel, —when any man shall come to know his plague, or his pain, and so he shall spread abroad his hands towards this house—
izay vavaka rehetra sy fifonana rehetra ataon’ olona, na ny Isiraely olonao rehetra, izay samy mahalala ny fahoriany sy ny alahelony avy, ka mamelatra ny tànany manatrika ity trano ity izy,
30 then wilt, thou thyself, hear out of the heavens, the settled place of thine abode, and forgive, and grant to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou wilt know, —for, thou thyself alone, knowest the heart of the sons of men:
dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao, ka mamelà heloka, ka omeo ny olona araka ny alehany rehetra, fa fantatrao ny fony (fa Hianao dia Hianao irery ihany no mahalala ny fon’ ny zanak’ olombelona, )
31 to the end they may revere thee, to walk in thy ways, all the days which they shall be living upon the face of the soil, —which thou gavest unto their fathers?
mba hatahorany Anao sy handehanany amin’ ny lalanao amin’ izay andro rehetra hiainany etỳ amin’ ny tany nomenao ny razanay.
32 Moreover also, unto the stranger who is not, of thy people Israel, but he shall come in out of a far country—for the sake of thy great Name, and of thy strong hand, and of thine outstretched arm, —and so they shall come in and pray towards this house,
Ary henoy koa ny vahiny izay tsy isan’ ny Isiraely olonao, fa tonga avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra noho ny amin’ ny anaranao lehibe sy ny tananao mahery ary ny sandrinao ahinjitra, koa raha avy izy ka mivavaka manatrika ity trano ity,
33 then wilt, thou thyself, hear out of the heavens, out of the settled place of thine abode, and do according to all for which the stranger shall cry unto thee, —to the end that all the peoples of the earth may know thy Name, so as to revere thee like thy people Israel, and know that, thy Name, hath been given unto this house, which I have built?
dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao, ka manaova araka izay rehetra iantsoan’ ny vahiny Anao, mba ho fantatry ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany ny anaranao hatahorany Anao tahaka ny ataon’ ny Isiraely olonao ihany, ary mba ho fantany fa ny anaranao no efa nantsoina tamin’ ity trano nataoko ity.
34 When thy people shall go forth to war against their enemies, whithersoever thou mayest send them, —and shall pray unto thee in the direction of this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy Name,
Raha mivoaka hiady amin’ ny fahavalony ny olonao, na ho aiza na ho aiza no hanirahanao azy, ka mivavaka aminao manandrify ity tanana izay nofidinao ity sy ny trano izay nataoko ho an’ ny anaranao izy,
35 then wilt thou hear, out of the heavens, their prayer and their supplication, —and maintain their right.
dia henoy any an-danitra ny fivavany sy ny fifonany, ka omeo rariny izy.
36 When they sin against thee—for there is no son of earth who sinneth not—and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them up before an enemy, —who shall carry them away as their captives into a land—far away or near;
Raha manota aminao izy (fa tsy misy olombelona tsy manota), ka tezitra aminy Hianao ary manolotra azy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony, ka dia entin’ ny mpamabo ho babo any amin’ ny tany na ho lavitra na ho akaiky izy,
37 and they come back to their right mind, in the land whither they have been taken captive, —and so turn and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and been lawless; —
ary mahatsiaro any amin’ ny tany nitondrana azy ho babo izy ka mibebaka sy mifona aminao any amin’ ny tany izay nitondrana azy ho babo ary manao hoe: Efa nanota izahay sady efa nanao meloka sy efa nanao ratsy,
38 and so turn unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive, —and shall pray in the direction of their own land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city which thou hast chosen, and unto the house which I have built for thy Name,
ka dia miverina aminao amin’ ny fony rehetra sy ny fanahiny rehetra izy ao amin’ ny tany nitondrana azy ho babo ary mivavaka manandrify ny taniny izay nomenao ny razany sy ny tanàna izay nofidinao ary ny trano izay nataoko ho an’ ny anaranao,
39 then wilt thou hear out of the heavens—out of the settled place of thine abode—their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, —and forgive thy people, that wherein they sinned against thee?
dia henoy any an-danitra fonenanao ny fivavany sy ny fifonanao ka omeo rariny izy; ary mamelà ny olonao izay efa nanota taminao.
40 Now, O my God, let—I beseech thee—thine eyes be open, and thine ears attent, —unto the prayer of this place.
Ankehitriny, ry Andriamanitro ô, mifona aminao aho, aoka hihiratra ny masonao, an aoka ny sofinao hihaino ny vavaka atao amin’ ity fitoerana ity.
41 Now, therefore, arise! O Yahweh God, unto thy rest, thou, and the ark of thy strength: Thy priests, O Yahweh God, let them be clothed with salvation, and, thy men of lovingkindness, let them rejoice in prosperity.
Koa ankehitriny mitsangàna, ry Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, ho amin’ ny fitsaharanao, dia Hianao sy ny fiaran’ ny herinao; aoka ny mpisoronao hitafy famonjena, Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, ary aoka ny olonao masìna hifaly amin’ ny soa.
42 O Yahweh God! do not turn away thy face from thine Anointed One, —oh remember lovingkindness unto David thy servant.
Ry Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, aza lavinao ny voahosotrao; tsarovy ny famindram-po nampanantenaina an’ i Davida mpanomponao.
