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.
They brought in the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and fellowship 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.
When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh.
3 Dia nizara mofo iray avy sy hena iray didy ary ampempam-boaloboka ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra na lahy na vavy izy.
He distributed to every Israelite, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.
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:
David appointed certain Levites to serve before the ark of Yahweh, and to celebrate, thank and praise Yahweh, 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;
These Levites were Asaph the leader, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel. These were to play with stringed instruments and with harps. Asaph was to sound the cymbals, sounding loudly.
6 Benaia sy Jahaziela mpisorona kosa no mpitsoka ny trompetra mandrakariva eo anoloan’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ Andriamanitra.
Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Tamin’ izay andro izay no voalohan’ ny nanendren’ i Davida an’ i Asafa sy ny rahalahiny hidera an’ i Jehovah.
Then on that day David first appointed Asaph and his brothers to sing this song of thanksgiving to Yahweh.
8 Miderà an’ i Jehovah, miantsoa ny anarany; Ampahafantaro ny firenena ny asany.
Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
9 Mihira ho Azy, mankalazà Azy; Saintsaino ny fahagagana rehetra ataony.
Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
10 Ataovy ho reharehanareo ny anarany masìna; Aoka hifaly ny fon’ izay mitady an’ i Jehovah.
Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
11 Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah sy ny heriny, Katsaho mandrakariva ny tavany.
Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
12 Mahatsiarova ny asa mahagaga izay nataony, dia ny fahagagany sy ny fitsaran’ ny vavany,
Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
13 Hianareo taranak’ Isiraely mpanompony, Hianareo olom-boafidiny, taranak’ i Jakoba.
you descendants of Israel his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 Jehovah, Izy no Andriamanitsika, manerana ny tany rehetra ny fitsarany.
He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
15 Tsarovy mandrakizay ny fanekeny. Dia ilay teny voadidiny ho an’ ny taranaka arivo mandimby,
Keep his covenant in mind forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
16 Eny, dia ilay nataony tamin’ i Abrahama sy ny fianianany tamin’ Isaka,
He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
17 Izay naoriny ho lalàna ho an’ i Jakoba sy ho fanekena mandrakizay ho an’ Isiraely,
This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
18 Ka nataony hoe: Homeko anao ny tany Kanana ho lovanareo voazara amin’ ny famolaina;
He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
19 Fony mbola olom-bitsy ianareo, Eny, Vitsy sady vahiny tao,
When they were only few in number, so very few, and they were strangers in the land,
20 Ary nifindrafindra tany amin’ ny firenena, sy nifindrafindra fanjakana ho amin’ ny firenen-kafa,
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
21 Tsy nisy navelany hampahory azy; Ary nananatra mpanjaka Izy noho ny amin’ ireo hoe:
He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he punished kings for their sakes.
22 Aza manendry ireo voahosotro, Ary aza manisy ratsy Ireo mpaminaniko.
he said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
23 Mihira ho an’ i Jehovah, ry tany rehetra; Lazao isan’ andro isan’ andro ny famonjeny mahafaly.
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth; announce his salvation day after day.
24 Ambarao any amin’ ny jentilisa ny voninahiny, ary any amin’ ny firenena rehetra ny fahagagana ataony.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.
25 Fa lehibe Jehovah ka mendrika hoderaina indrindra, sady mahatahotra, fa ambonin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra.
For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly, and he is to be feared above all other gods.
26 Fa ny andriamanitry ny firenena rehetra dia tsinontsinona, fa Jehovah no nanao ny lanitra.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.
27 Famirapiratana sy voninahitra no eo anatrehany, Hery sy hafaliana no ao amin’ ny fitoerany.
Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and joy are in his place.
28 Ry firenena, manomeza an’ i Jehovah, eny, manomeza voninahitra sy hery ho an’ i Jehovah.
Ascribe to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
29 Manomeza an’ i Jehovah ny voninahitry ny anarany; Mitondrà fanatitra, ka mankanesa eo anatrehany; Miankohofa eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fihaingoana masìna
Ascribe to Yahweh the glory his name deserves. Bring an offering and come before him. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.
30 Mangovita eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra; Izao rehetra izao voaorina ka tsy hihetsika.
Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established; it cannot be shaken.
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 be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.”
32 Aoka hirohondrohona ny ranomasina sy izay rehetra ao aminy; Aoka ho faly ny saha sy izay rehetra ao aminy.
Let the sea roar, and that which fills it shout with joy. Let the fields be joyful, and 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 let the trees in the forest shout for joy before Yahweh, for he is coming to judge the earth.
34 Miderà an’ i Jehovah, fa tsara Izy: Fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony.
Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
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.
Then say, “Save us, God of our salvation. Gather us together and rescue us from the other nations, so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.”
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.
May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen” and praised Yahweh.
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,
So David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to serve continually before the ark, as every day's work required.
38 ary Obed-edoma sy ny rahalahiny valo amby enim-polo sy Obed-edoma, zanak’ i Jedotona, ary Hosa ho mpiandry varavarana kosa.
Obed Edom with those sixty-eight relatives were included. Obed Edom son of Jeduthun, along with Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.
39 Ary Zadoka mpisorona sy ny mpisorona rahalahiny dia navelany teo anoloan’ ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah teo amin’ ny fitoerana avo any Gibeona,
Zadok the priest and his fellow priests were to serve before the tabernacle of Yahweh at the high place 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,
They were to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar for burnt offerings continually morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he gave as a command 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.
Heman and Jeduthun were with them, together with the rest who were chosen by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his covenant faithfulness 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.
Heman and Jeduthun were in charge of those who played trumpets, cymbals, and the other instruments for the sacred music. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.
43 Ary dia samy nody tany an-tranony avy ny olona rehetra, ary Davida koa lasa nody mba hitso-drano ny ankohonany.
Then all the people returned to their homes, and David returned to bless his own household.
