1 Tantara 28

1 Ary novorin’ i Davida tany Jerosalema ny lehibe rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely, dia ny lohan’ ny firenena sy ny komandin’ ny antokony Izay nanompo ny andriamanjaka, ary ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato sy ny mpitandrina ny harena mbanin’ ny fananana rehetra an’ ny mpanjaka sy ny zanany mbamin’ ny tandapa sy ny lehilahy mahery, dia ny lehibe rehetra.

Now David summoned all the leaders of Israel to Jerusalem: the leaders of the tribes, the leaders of the divisions in the king’s service, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and cattle of the king and his sons, along with the court officials and mighty men—every mighty man of valor.

2 Ary Davida mpanjaka nitsangana ka nanao hoe: Mihainoa ahy, ry rahalahiko sy ry vahoakako! Raha izaho, dia efa mby tato am-poko ny hanao trano fitsaharana ho an’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah sy ho an’ ny fitoeran-tongotr’ Andriamanitsika, ary efa novononiko izay ho enti-manao azy;

Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. It was in my heart to build a house as a resting place for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and as a footstool for our God. I had made preparations to build it,

3 nefa hoy Andriamanitra tamiko: Tsy hanao trano ho an’ ny anarako ianao, satria lehilahy mpiady sy mpandatsa-drà.

but God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for My Name, because you are a man of war who has spilled blood.’

4 Nefa kosa Jehovah, Andriamanitra ny Isiraely efa nifidy ahy tamin’ ny ankohonan’ ny raiko rehetra ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely mandrakizay; fa Joda no nofidiny ho mpanjaka, ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda indray dia ny ankohonan’ ny raiko no nofidiny; ary tamin’ ny ankohonan’ ny raiko dia izaho kosa no nankasitrahany ka nataony mpanjaka amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra.

Yet the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah He chose my father’s household, and from my father’s sons He was pleased to make me king over all Israel.

5 Ary tamin’ ny zanako rehetra (fa zanaka maro no nomen’ i Jehovah ahy) dia Solomona zanako no nofidiny hipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakan’ i Jehovah hanjaka amin’ ny Isiraely.

And of all my sons—for the LORD has given me many sons—He has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

6 Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Solomona zanakao no hanao ny tranoko sy ny kianjako, fa efa nifidy azy ho zanako Aho, ary Izaho ho rainy.

And He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as My son, and I will be his Father.

7 Ary hampitoetra ny fanjakany ho mandrakizay Aho, raha maharitra mitandrina ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko mandra-kariva izy tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.

I will establish his kingdom forever, if he resolutely carries out My commandments and ordinances, as is being done this day.’

8 Ary ankehitriny, eto anatrehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra, fiangonan’ i Jehovah, sy eto anatrehan’ Andriamanitsika, tandremo sy diniho ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo rehetra, mba hahatananareo ity tany soa ity, sady havelanareo ho lovan’ ny zanakareo mandimby anareo, mandrakizay izy.

So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, keep and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, so that you may possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your descendants forever.

9 Ary ianao, ry Solomona zanako, aoka ho fantatrao Andriamanitry ny rainao, ka manompoa Azy amin’ ny fo rehetra sy ny fanahy mazoto; fa Jehovah, dia mpandinika ny fo rehetra, ary ny fieritreretana rehetra dia fantany avokoa. Raha mitady Azy ianao, dia hahita Azy; fa raha mahafoy Azy kosa ianao, dia hariany mandrakizay.

As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

10 Koa mitandrema; fa Jehovah efa nifidy anao hanao trano ho fitoerana masìna; dia mahereza ka mahefà.

Consider now that the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it.”

11 Ary Davida nanome an’ i Solomona zanany ny sarin’ ny lavarangana fidirana sy ny tranony sy ny trano firaketany sy ny efi-trano ambony sy ny efi-trano anatiny ary ny trano misy ny rakotra fanaovam-panavotana,

Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, storehouses, upper rooms, inner rooms, and the room for the mercy seat.

12 ary ny sarin’ izay rehetra efa niseho tamin’ ny fanahiny; dia ny amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny efi-trano rehetra manodidina azy ho an’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny zavatra nohamasinina ho rakitra,

The plans contained everything David had in mind for the courts of the house of the LORD, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God and of the dedicated things,

13 sy ho an’ ny antokon’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita koa, ary ho an’ ny fanompoana rehetra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy ho an’ ny fanaka rehetra ho enti-manompo ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah,

for the divisions of the priests and Levites, for all the work of service in the house of the LORD, and for all the articles of service in the house of the LORD:

14 ary ny lanjan’ ny volamena hanaovana ny fanaka volamena samy hafa rehetra, ary ny lanjan’ ny volafotsy koa hanaovana ny fanaka volafotsy samy hafa rehetra,

the weight of all the gold articles for every kind of service; the weight of all the silver articles for every kind of service;

15 ary ny lanjan’ ny volamena hanaovana ny fanaovan-jiro volamena sy ny lela fanaovan-jirony araka ny lanjany avy, ary ny lanjan’ ny volafotsy hanaovana ny fanaovan-jiro volafotsy sy ny lela fanaovan-jirony araka ny fombany avy,

the weight of the gold lampstands and their lamps, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps; the weight of each silver lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand;

16 ary ny lanjan’ ny volamena hanaovana ireo latabatra hametrahana ny mofo aseho, ary ny amin’ ny volafotsy ho amin’ ny latabatra volafotsy,

the weight of gold for each table of showbread, and of silver for the silver tables;

17 ary ny amin’ ny fitrebika sy ny lovia famafazana ary ny fitoeran-divay, izay samy volamena tsara, ary ny amin’ ny kapoaka misarona, na ny volamena, na ny volafotsy, araka ny lanjany avy,

the weight of the pure gold for the forks, sprinkling bowls, and pitchers; the weight of each gold dish; the weight of each silver bowl;

18 ary ny lanjan’ ny volamena voadio hanaovana ny alitara fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra; ary nomeny koa ny sarin’ ny kalesy, dia ny kerobima volamena, izay manana elatra mivelatra ka manaloka ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah.

the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

19 Izany asa rehetra araka ny sary izany, hoy Davida, no nampahafantarin’ i Jehovah ahy tamin’ ny soratra avy tamin’ ny tànany, izay atỳ amiko.

“All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”

20 Ary hoy koa Davida tamin’ i Solomona zanany: Mahereza sy matanjaha ka mahefà; aza matahotra na mivadi-po; fa Jehovah Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitro, no momba anao; tsy handao na hahafoy anao Izy ambara-pahavitanao ny asa rehetra hanaovana ny tranon’ i Jehovah.

David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you before all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

21 Ary indreo ny antokon’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hanao ny fanompoana rehetra ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra; ary ao aminao hanampy amin’ ny asa samy hafa rehetra ny olon-kendry izay manolo-tena mba hahavita ny fanompoana rehetra sy ny mpifehy ary ny vahoaka rehetra hankatò ny didinao.

The divisions of the priests and Levites are ready for all the service of the house of God, and every willing man of every skill will be at your disposal for the work. The officials and all the people are fully at your command.”
