1 Tantara 22

1 Dia hoy Davida: Eto no ho tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra, ary eto no ho alitara fandoroana ny fanatitra dorana ho an’ ny Isiraely.

Then David said, “This is where the house of Yahweh God will be, with the altar for the burnt offerings of Israel.”

2 Ary nasain’ i Davida novorina ny olona hafa firenena izay tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely, ka nanendreny tambato hipai-bato hanaovana ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.

So David ordered his servants to gather together the foreigners living in the land of Israel. He assigned them to be stonecutters, to cut stone blocks, in order to build God's house.

3 Ary Davida nahavonona vy betsaka hatao hombon’ ny lela-vavahady sy ny fikambanany, ary varahina betsaka tsy hita lanja

David supplied a large amount of iron for the nails for the doors to go in the gateways, and for braces. He also supplied more bronze than could be weighed,

4 sy hazo sedera tsy hita isa; fa ny mponina tany Sidona sy Tyro nitondra hazo sedera betsaka ho any amin’ i Davida.

and more cedar trees than could be counted. (The Sidonians and the Tyrians brought too many cedar logs to David to count.)

5 Fa hoy Davida: Solomona zanako mbola zaza sady tanora fanahy, ary ny trano hatao ho an’ i Jehovah dia tsy maintsy ho lehibe indrindra, mba hiely any amin’ ny tany rehetra ny lazany sy ny voninahiny, koa hovononiko rahateo ny zavatra ho enti-manao azy. Ka dia nahavonona betsaka Davida, raha mbola velona izy.

David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be especially magnificent, so that it will be famous and glorious in all other lands. So I will prepare for its building.” So David made extensive preparations before his death.

6 Ary niantso an’ i Solomona zanany izy va nandidy azy hanao trano ho an’ i Jehovah, andriamanitry ny Isiraely,

Then he called for Solomon his son and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.

7 ary nanao taminy hoe: Anaka, efa mby tato am-poko ny hanao trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro;

David said to Solomon, “My son, it was my intention to build a house myself, for the name of Yahweh my God.

8 saingy nisy tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamiko nanao hoe: Be ny rà efa nalatsakao, ary ady lehibe no efa nataonao; koa tsy mahazo manao trano ho an’ ny anarako ianao, satria be ny rà efa nalatsakao tamin’ ny tany teo imasoko.

But Yahweh came to me and said, 'You have shed much blood and have fought many battles. You will not build a house for my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

9 Fa, indro, ianao hiteraka zazalahy, izay ho lehilahy miadana, ary hampiadaniko tsy hisy hahazo azy ny fahavalony rehetra manodidina; koa ny anarany dia hatao hoe Solomona; ary hampiadaniko sy hampandriko fahizay ny Isiraely amin’ ny androny.

However, you will have a son who will be a peaceful man. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. For his name will be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.

10 Izy no hanao trano ho an’ ny anarako; ary izy ho zanako, ary Izaho ho rainy, ary Izaho hampitoetra ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakany amin’ ny Isiraely mandrakizay.

He will build a house for my name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'

11 Koa ankehitriny, anaka, ho aminao anie Jehovah, ka hambinina anie ianao, fa ataovy ny tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao araka izay nilazany anao.

Now, my son, may Yahweh be with you and enable you to succeed. May you build the house of Yahweh your God, as he said you would.

12 Ary homen’ i Jehovah saina sy fahendrena anie ianao ka hatsangany ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely, mba hitandremanao ny lalan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.

Only may Yahweh give you insight and understanding, so that you may obey the law of Yahweh your God, when he places you in charge over Israel.

13 Ary amin’ izany dia hambinina ianao, raha mitandrina hankatò ny lalàna sy ny fitsipika izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy ho an’ ny Isiraely; mahereza sy matanjaha; aza matahotra na mivadi-po.

Then you will succeed, if you carefully obey the statutes and the decrees that Yahweh gave to Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be discouraged.

14 Ary, he! fa na dia be fahoriana aza aho, dia nahavory talenta volamena iray hetsy sy talenta volafotsy iray tapitrisa ary varahina sy vy betsaka tsy hita lanja ho enti-manao ny tranon’ i Jehovah; ary efa nahavonona hazo sy vato koa aho; ka dia ampionao kosa ireo.

Now, see, at great effort I have prepared for Yahweh's house 100,000 talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron in large quantities. I have also provided timber and stone. You must add more to all this.

15 Ary koa, efa manana mpiasa betsaka ianao, dia mpikapa hazo sy tambato sy mpandrafitra ary olona mahay ny asa samy hafa rehetra.

You have many workmen with you: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and skillful craftsmen without number of every kind,

16 Ny volamena sy ny volafotsy ary ny varahina sy ny vy dia tsy hita isa. Koa mitsangàna ianao, ka manaova, ary homba anao anie Jehovah.

who can work with gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Arise and begin the work, and may Yahweh be with you.”

17 Ary Davida nandidy ny lehibe rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely hanampy an’ i Solomona zanany hoe:

David also ordered all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

18 Tsy momba anareo va Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ka efa nampiadana anareo amin’ ny manodidina? Fa efa natolony teo an-tanako ny mponina amin’ ny tany; ary ny tany efa resy teo anoloan’ i Jehovah sy teo anoloan’ ny olony.

“Yahweh your God is with you and has given you peace on every side. He has given the region's inhabitants into my hand. The region is subdued before Yahweh and his people.

19 Koa ankehitriny ampitadiavo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ny fonareo sy ny fanahinareo, ka mitsangàna, ary manaova ny fitoerana masìna ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra, hampidirana ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah sy ny fanaka masin’ Andriamanitra ho ao amin’ ny trano izay hatao ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah.

Now seek Yahweh your God with all your heart and your soul. Get up and build the holy place of Yahweh God. Then you can bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the things that belong to God into the house built for Yahweh's name.”
