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] the house of the LORD God, and this [is] the altar of the burnt-offering for 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.
And David commanded to assemble the strangers that [were] in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
3 Ary Davida nahavonona vy betsaka hatao hombon’ ny lela-vavahady sy ny fikambanany, ary varahina betsaka tsy hita lanja
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;
4 sy hazo sedera tsy hita isa; fa ny mponina tany Sidona sy Tyro nitondra hazo sedera betsaka ho any amin’ i Davida.
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
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.
And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender, and the house [that is] to be built for the LORD [must be] very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will [therefore] now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation 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 charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.
7 ary nanao taminy hoe: Anaka, efa mby tato am-poko ny hanao trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro;
And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the LORD 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 the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house to my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon 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.
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies around: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness 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 shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I [will be] his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
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, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
12 Ary homen’ i Jehovah saina sy fahendrena anie ianao ka hatsangany ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely, mba hitandremanao ny lalan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.
Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.
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 shalt thou prosper, if thou shalt take heed to fulfill the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
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 behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add to them.
15 Ary koa, efa manana mpiasa betsaka ianao, dia mpikapa hazo sy tambato sy mpandrafitra ary olona mahay ny asa samy hafa rehetra.
Moreover, [there are] workmen with thee in great numbers, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skillful men for every manner of work.
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.
Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, [there is] no number. Arise [therefore], and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.
17 Ary Davida nandidy ny lehibe rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely hanampy an’ i Solomona zanany hoe:
David also commanded all the princes 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.
[Is] not the LORD your God with you? and hath he [not] given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before 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 set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise, therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
