1 Tantara 16
1 Ary nampiditra ny Fiaran’ Andriamanitra ny olona ka nametraka azy tao afovoan’ ny lay izay naorin’ i Davida ho azy; ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy.
And so they took the ark of God, and they set it in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And they offered holocausts and peace offerings before God.
2 Ary nony voatitr’ i Davida ny fanatitra odorana sy ny fanati-pihavanana, dia nitso-drano ny olona tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah izy.
And when David had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3 Dia nizara mofo iray avy sy hena iray didy ary ampempam-boaloboka ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra na lahy na vavy izy.
And he divided to every single one, from men even to women, a twist of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil.
4 Ary ny Levita sasany notendren’ i Davida ho mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana eo anatrehan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah mba hankalaza sy hisaotra ary hidera an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely:
And he appointed some from the Levites who would minister before the ark of the Lord, and commemorate his works, and glorify and praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
5 Asafa no lohany, ary Zakaria no nanarakaraka, dia Jeiela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Matitia sy Eliaba sy Benaia sy Obed-edoma ary Jeiela no nitendry ny valiha sy ny lokanga; fa Asafa no nampaneno ny kipantsona;
Asaph was the leader, and second to him was Zechariah. In addition, there were Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom. And Jeiel was over the instruments of the psaltery and the harps. But Asaph sounded out with the cymbals.
6 Benaia sy Jahaziela mpisorona kosa no mpitsoka ny trompetra mandrakariva eo anoloan’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ Andriamanitra.
Truly, the priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, were to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
7 Tamin’ izay andro izay no voalohan’ ny nanendren’ i Davida an’ i Asafa sy ny rahalahiny hidera an’ i Jehovah.
In that day, David made Asaph the leader, in order to confess to the Lord with his brothers:
8 Miderà an’ i Jehovah, miantsoa ny anarany; Ampahafantaro ny firenena ny asany.
“Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Make known his endeavors among the peoples.
9 Mihira ho Azy, mankalazà Azy; Saintsaino ny fahagagana rehetra ataony.
Sing to him, and sing psalms to him, and describe all his miracles.
10 Ataovy ho reharehanareo ny anarany masìna; Aoka hifaly ny fon’ izay mitady an’ i Jehovah.
Praise his holy name! Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah sy ny heriny, Katsaho mandrakariva ny tavany.
Seek the Lord and his virtue. Seek his face always.
12 Mahatsiarova ny asa mahagaga izay nataony, dia ny fahagagany sy ny fitsaran’ ny vavany,
Remember his miracles, which he has accomplished, his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.
13 Hianareo taranak’ Isiraely mpanompony, Hianareo olom-boafidiny, taranak’ i Jakoba.
O offspring of Israel, his servants! O sons of Jacob, his elect!
14 Jehovah, Izy no Andriamanitsika, manerana ny tany rehetra ny fitsarany.
He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout all the earth.
15 Tsarovy mandrakizay ny fanekeny. Dia ilay teny voadidiny ho an’ ny taranaka arivo mandimby,
Remember forever his covenant, the word that he instructed unto a thousand generations,
16 Eny, dia ilay nataony tamin’ i Abrahama sy ny fianianany tamin’ Isaka,
the covenant that he formed with Abraham, and his oath with Isaac.
17 Izay naoriny ho lalàna ho an’ i Jakoba sy ho fanekena mandrakizay ho an’ Isiraely,
And he appointed the same to Jacob as a precept, and to Israel as an everlasting pact,
18 Ka nataony hoe: Homeko anao ny tany Kanana ho lovanareo voazara amin’ ny famolaina;
saying: ‘To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.’
19 Fony mbola olom-bitsy ianareo, Eny, Vitsy sady vahiny tao,
At that time, they were small in number, they were few and were settlers there.
20 Ary nifindrafindra tany amin’ ny firenena, sy nifindrafindra fanjakana ho amin’ ny firenen-kafa,
And they passed through, from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
21 Tsy nisy navelany hampahory azy; Ary nananatra mpanjaka Izy noho ny amin’ ireo hoe:
He did not permit anyone to falsely accuse them. Instead, he reproved kings on their behalf:
22 Aza manendry ireo voahosotro, Ary aza manisy ratsy Ireo mpaminaniko.
‘Do not touch my Christ. And do not malign my prophets.’
23 Mihira ho an’ i Jehovah, ry tany rehetra; Lazao isan’ andro isan’ andro ny famonjeny mahafaly.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Announce his salvation, from day to day.
24 Ambarao any amin’ ny jentilisa ny voninahiny, ary any amin’ ny firenena rehetra ny fahagagana ataony.
Describe his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all the peoples.
25 Fa lehibe Jehovah ka mendrika hoderaina indrindra, sady mahatahotra, fa ambonin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra.
For the Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And he is terrible, above all gods.
26 Fa ny andriamanitry ny firenena rehetra dia tsinontsinona, fa Jehovah no nanao ny lanitra.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols. But the Lord made the heavens.
27 Famirapiratana sy voninahitra no eo anatrehany, Hery sy hafaliana no ao amin’ ny fitoerany.
Confession and magnificence are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Ry firenena, manomeza an’ i Jehovah, eny, manomeza voninahitra sy hery ho an’ i Jehovah.
Bring to the Lord, O families of the peoples, bring to the Lord glory and dominion.
29 Manomeza an’ i Jehovah ny voninahitry ny anarany; Mitondrà fanatitra, ka mankanesa eo anatrehany; Miankohofa eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fihaingoana masìna
Give glory to the Lord, to his name. Lift up sacrifice, and approach before his sight. And adore the Lord in holy attire.
30 Mangovita eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra; Izao rehetra izao voaorina ka tsy hihetsika.
Let all the earth be moved before his face. For he founded the globe immoveable.
31 Aoka ho faly ny lanitra ary ho ravo ny tany; Ary aoka holazaina any amin’ ny firenena hoe: Jehovah no Mpanjaka.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult. And let them say among the nations, ‘The Lord has reigned.’
32 Aoka hirohondrohona ny ranomasina sy izay rehetra ao aminy; Aoka ho faly ny saha sy izay rehetra ao aminy.
Let the sea roar, with all its plenitude. Let the fields exult, with all that is in them.
33 Dia hihoby eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah amin’ izay ny hazo an’ ala; Fa avy hitsara ny tany Izy.
Then the trees of the forest will give praise before the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth.
34 Miderà an’ i Jehovah, fa tsara Izy: Fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony.
Confess to the Lord, for he is good. For his mercy is eternal.
35 Ary manaova hoe: Vonjeo izahay, ry Andriamanitry ny famonjena anay ô, ary angòny izahay, ka vonjeo tsy ho azon’ ny jentilisa, Mba hisaoranay ny anaranao masìna, ka ho reharehanay ny fiderana Anao.
And say: ‘Save us, O God our savior! And gather us together, and rescue us from the nations, so that we may confess to your holy name, and may exult in your songs.
36 Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin’ ny taloha indrindra ka ho mandrakizay. Ary ny olona rehetra nanao hoe: Amena, sady nidera an’ i Jehovah.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen,’ and let them sing a hymn to the Lord.”
37 Ary Asafa sy ny rahalahiny dia navelan’ i Davida teo anoloan’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ Jehovah hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao mandrakariva araka ny raharaha tokony hatao isan’ andro,
And so, there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, he left Asaph and his brothers, so that they might minister in the sight of the ark continually, throughout each day, and in their turns.
38 ary Obed-edoma sy ny rahalahiny valo amby enim-polo sy Obed-edoma, zanak’ i Jedotona, ary Hosa ho mpiandry varavarana kosa.
Now Obededom and his brothers were sixty-eight. And he appointed Obededom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah to be porters.
39 Ary Zadoka mpisorona sy ny mpisorona rahalahiny dia navelany teo anoloan’ ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah teo amin’ ny fitoerana avo any Gibeona,
But Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, were before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gibeon,
40 hanatitra fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah marain-tsy hariva eo amin’ ny alitara fandoroana ny fanatitra dorana mandrakariva, ary hanao araka izay rehetra voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, izay nandidiany ny Isiraely,
so that they could offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the law of the Lord, which he instructed to Israel.
41 ary naman’ ireo koa Hemana sy Jedotona ary ny sisa amin’ ny olona voafidy izay voatonona anarana hidera an’ i Jehovah, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony.
And after him, Heman, and Jeduthun, and the remainder of the elect, each one by his name, were appointed to confess to the Lord: “For his mercy endures forever.”
42 Ary tao amin’ i Hemana sy Jedotona nisy trompetra sy kipantsona ho an’ izay mampaneno ary ny fomban’ ny zava-manenon’ Andriamanitra. Ary ny zanak’ i Jedotona no mpiandry varavarana.
Also Heman and Jeduthun sounded the trumpet, and they played upon the cymbals, and upon every kind of musical instrument, in order to sing praises to God. But the sons of Jeduthun he made to be porters.
43 Ary dia samy nody tany an-tranony avy ny olona rehetra, ary Davida koa lasa nody mba hitso-drano ny ankohonany.
And all the people returned to their houses, and David also, so that he might bless his own house too.
