1 Tantara 17
1 Ary Davida, raha nipetraka tao an-tranony, dia nanao tamin’ i Natana mpaminany hoe: Akory izato izaho mitoetra amin’ ny trano sedera, nefa ny fiaran’ ny neken’ i Jehovah kosa mitoetra ao anaty lay!
And it came to pass, when David had taken up his abode in his house, that David said unto Nathan the prophet, Lo! I, am dwelling in a house of cedars, but, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, is under curtains.
2 Ary hoy Natana tamin’ i Davida: Ataovy izay rehetra ao am-ponao, fa Andriamanitra no momba anao.
Then said Nathan unto David, All that is in thy heart, do, —for, God, is with thee.
3 Nefa tamin’ ny alin’ iny ihany dia tonga tamin’ i Natana ny tenin’ Andriamanitra nanao hoe:
But so it was that, in that night, the word of God came unto Nathan, saying:
4 Andeha, lazao amin’ i Davida mpanompoko hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tsy ianao no hanao trano hitoerako;
Go and say unto David my servant, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Thou, shalt not build me a house, to dwell in;
5 fa tsy mbola nitoetra an-trano Aho hatramin’ ny nitondrako ny Isiraely niakatra ka mandraka androany, fa nifindrafindra toby sy nifindrafindra toerana.
seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up Israel, until this day, —but have been from tent to tent, and without a habitation.
6 Ary tamin’ izay rehetra nifindrafindrako niaraka tamin’ ny Isiraely moa nisy nitenenako akory va ny mpitsaran’ ny Isiraely, izay notendreko ho mpiandry ny oloko, ka nanaovako hoe: Nahoana no tsy nanao trano sedera ho Ahy ianareo?
Wheresoever I have wandered with all Israel, spake I ever, a word, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people, saying, —Wherefore have ye not built me a house of cedars?
7 Koa lazao amin’ i Davida mpanompoko hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Izaho no naka anao tany an-tsaha, dia avy tamin’ ny niandrasanao ondry, mba ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely oloko.
Now, therefore, thus, shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I myself, took thee from the pasture, from after the flock, —to become leader over my people Israel;
8 Ary nomba anao tamin’ izay rehetra nalehanao Aho, ka naringako tsy ho eo anoloanao ny fahavalonao rehetra, ary homeko anarana tahaka ny anaran’ izay lehibe ambonin’ ny tany ianao.
and was with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies, from before thee, —and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones, who are in the earth;
9 Ary hifidy tany ho an’ ny Isiraely oloko Aho sady hamponina azy, ka dia handry fahizay amin’ ny fonenany izy ka tsy hanana ahiahy intsony, ary ny zanaky ny faharatsiana tsy hampahory azy intsony tahaka ny tany aloha
and will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, —neither shall the sons of perversity again wear them out, as at the first;
10 sy tahaka ny hatramin’ ny andro nanendreko mpitsara ho mpifehy ny Isiraely oloko. Ary haetriko avokoa ny fahavalonao rehetra. Ary ambarako aminao koa fa Jehovah hanome taranaka anao.
even from the days when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, and have subdued all thine enemies, —that I might make thee great, yea, a house, will Yahweh build for thee.
11 Ary rehefa tapitra ny andronao, ka lasa any amin’ ny razanao ianao, dia hatsangako ny zanakao anankiray mandimby anao, izay isan’ ny terakao; ary hampitoeriko ny fanjakany;
And it shall be that, when thy days are fulfilled, to sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons, —and I will establish his kingdom.
12 dia io no hanao trano ho Ahy, ary Izaho kosa hampitoetra ny seza fiandrianany ho mandrakizay.
He, shall build me a house, —and I will establish his throne unto times age-abiding.
13 Izaho ho rainy, ary izy ho zanako; ary tsy hanaisotra ny famindram-poko aminy Aho, tahaka ny nanesorako izany tamin’ ilay nodiasanao;
I, will become his father, and, he, shall become my son, —and, my lovingkindness, will I not cause to depart from him, —as I caused it to depart from him who was before thee;
14 fa hampitoeriko ao an-tranoko sy ao amin’ ny fanjakako mandrakizay izy; ary hampitoerina mandrakizay ny seza fiandrianany.
but I will cause him to remain over my house and over my kingdom, unto times age-abiding, —and, his throne, shall be established, unto times age-abiding.
15 Araka izany teny rehetra izany sy araka izao fahitana izao no nolazain’ i Natana tamin’ i Davida.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so, spake Nathan unto David.
16 Ary Davida mpanjaka niditra ka nipetraka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia nanao hoe: Zinona moa aho, Jehovah Andriamanitra ô? Ary zinona moa ny mpianakaviko, no nentinao ambaraka ankehitriny aho?
Then entered King David, and tarried before Yahweh, —and said, Who am, I, O Yahweh God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto;
17 Ary mbola nataonao ho zavatra kely ihany aza izany, Andriamanitra ô; fa, indro, efa voalazanao koa ny amin’ ny taranaky ny mpanomponao hatramin’ ny mbola any aoriana lavitra aza, ary nitsinjo ahy araka ny fanaon’ ny olona Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, ka nanandratra ahy.
and hast made this seem little in thine eyes, O God, in that thou hast spoken concerning the house of thy servant, for a great while to come? Thus wilt thou provide for me, according to the rank of manhood, and hast exalted me, O Yahweh God!
18 Inona intsony no holazain’ i Davida aminao ny amin’ ny voninahitra omena ny mpanomponao? fa Hianao no mahalala ny mpanomponao.
What, yet further, can David say unto thee, [thus] to honour thy servant, —seeing that, thou thyself, knowest, thine own servant?
19 Jehovah ô, noho ny amin’ ny mpanomponao sy araka ny sitraponao no nanaovanao io zavatra lehibe io, mba hampiharihariana ireo zavatra lehibe rehetra ireo.
O Yahweh, for the sake of thy servant, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, —making known all the great things.
20 Jehovah ô, tsy misy tahaka Anao, ary tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Hianao, araka izay rehetra ren’ ny sofinay.
O Yahweh, there is none like unto thee, yea there is no God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 Ary aiza moa no misy firenena etỳ an-tany tahaka ny Isiraely olonao, izay nalehan’ Andriamanitra havotana ho olony, hanaovanao anarana lehibe sy mahatahotra ho Anao, dia tamin’ ny nandroahanao firenena tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny olonao, izay navotanao avy tany Egypta?
Who then is like thy people Israel, a nation alone in the earth, —whom God went to redeem, to be his own people, to make for thyself a name for great and fearful things, to drive out, nations, from before thy people, whom thou didst redeem out of Egypt;
22 Fa ny Isiraely olonao nofidinao ho olonao mandrakizay, ary Hianao, Jehovah ô, no efa tonga Andriamaniny.
and didst appoint thy people Israel for thyself as a people, unto times age-abiding, —thou thyself, also, O Yahweh, becoming their God?
23 Ary ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, ilay teny nolazainao ny amin’ ny mpanomponao sy ny taranany dia ampitoero ho mandrakizay, ary ataovy araka izay nolazainao.
Now, therefore, O Yahweh, the word which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be it steadfast unto times age-abiding, —and do as thou hast spoken:
24 Eny, aoka hampitoerina izany, ary aoka hohalehibiazina mandrakizay ny anaranao ka hatao hoe: Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; ka dia hampitoerina eo anatrehanao ny taranak’ i Davida mpanomponao.
yea let it be steadfast, and so let thy Name be magnified unto times age-abiding, saying, Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, is a God to Israel! seeing that, the house of David thy servant, is established before thee.
25 Fa Hianao, Andriamanitro ô, efa nanambara tamin’ ny mpanomponao fa homenao taranaka izy; koa Izany no nampahasahy ny mpanomponao hivavaka eto anatrehanao.
For, thou, O my God, hast unveiled the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build for him a house, —for this cause, hath thy servant found [it in his heart] to pray before thee.
26 Ary noho izany, Jehovah ô, satria Hianao no Andriamanitra, ary Hianao efa nilaza izany zava-tsoa izany ny amin’ ny mpanomponao,
Now, therefore, O Yahweh, thou, art God, —therefore hast thou spoken concerning thy servant this goodness.
27 dia ho sitrakao ny hitahy ny taranaky ny mpanomponao haharitra mandrakizay eo anatrehanao; fa izay tahinao, Jehovah ô, dia voatahy mandrakizay.
Now, therefore, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be unto times age-abiding before thee, —for, thou O Yahweh, hast blessed, and it is to be blessed unto times age-abiding.
