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!
When David was living in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I live in a cedar house, but the ark of Yahweh’s covenant is in a tent.”
2 Ary hoy Natana tamin’ i Davida: Ataovy izay rehetra ao am-ponao, fa Andriamanitra no momba anao.
Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”
3 Nefa tamin’ ny alin’ iny ihany dia tonga tamin’ i Natana ny tenin’ Andriamanitra nanao hoe:
That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 Andeha, lazao amin’ i Davida mpanompoko hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tsy ianao no hanao trano hitoerako;
“Go and tell David my servant, ‘Yahweh says, “You shall 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.
for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.
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?
In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
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, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince 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.
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you 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
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not waste them any more, 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.
and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.
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;
It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your 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 will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
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 be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you;
14 fa hampitoeriko ao an-tranoko sy ao amin’ ny fanjakako mandrakizay izy; ary hampitoerina mandrakizay ny seza fiandrianany.
but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”
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 Nathan spoke to 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 David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
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.
This was a small thing in your eyes, O God, but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.
18 Inona intsony no holazain’ i Davida aminao ny amin’ ny voninahitra omena ny mpanomponao? fa Hianao no mahalala ny mpanomponao.
What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your 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.
Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
20 Jehovah ô, tsy misy tahaka Anao, ary tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Hianao, araka izay rehetra ren’ ny sofinay.
Yahweh, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, 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?
What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people whom you redeemed out of Egypt?
22 Fa ny Isiraely olonao nofidinao ho olonao mandrakizay, ary Hianao, Jehovah ô, no efa tonga Andriamaniny.
For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became 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, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have 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.
Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’
25 Fa Hianao, Andriamanitro ô, efa nanambara tamin’ ny mpanomponao fa homenao taranaka izy; koa Izany no nampahasahy ny mpanomponao hivavaka eto anatrehanao.
For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.
26 Ary noho izany, Jehovah ô, satria Hianao no Andriamanitra, ary Hianao efa nilaza izany zava-tsoa izany ny amin’ ny mpanomponao,
Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.
27 dia ho sitrakao ny hitahy ny taranaky ny mpanomponao haharitra mandrakizay eo anatrehanao; fa izay tahinao, Jehovah ô, dia voatahy mandrakizay.
Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
