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.

And David assembles all the heads of Israel, heads of the tribes, and heads of the divisions who are serving the king, and heads of the thousands, and heads of the hundreds, and heads of all the substance and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty ones, and of every mighty man of valor—to Jerusalem.

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;

And David the king rises on his feet and says, “Hear me, my brothers and my people, I [had it] with my heart to build a house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and for the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build,

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

and God has said to me, You do not build a house for My Name, for you [are] a man of wars, and you have shed 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.

And YHWH, God of Israel, fixes on me out of all the house of my father to be for king over Israel for all time, for He has fixed on Judah for a leader, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, He has been pleased with me 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 out of all my sons—for YHWH has given many sons to me—He also fixes on my son Solomon, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of YHWH 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 says to me, Your son Solomon builds My house and My courts, for I have fixed on him [to be] to Me for a son, and I am to him for a 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.

And I have established his kingdom for all time, if he is strong to do My commands and My judgments, as at 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.

And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of YHWH, and in the ears of our God, keep and seek all the commands of your God YHWH, so that you possess this good land, and have caused your sons to inherit after you for all time.

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.

And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind, for YHWH is seeking all hearts, and He is understanding every imagination of the thoughts; if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He casts you off forever.

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

See, now, for YHWH has fixed on you to build a house for a sanctuary; be strong, and do.”

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,

And David gives to his son Solomon the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;

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,

and the pattern of all that has been with him by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of YHWH, and for all the surrounding chambers, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the things sacrificed;

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,

and for the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of YHWH, and for all vessels of service of the house of YHWH,

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,

even gold by weight, for [things of] gold, for all instruments of every service; for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every 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,

and [by] weight for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight [for] lampstand and lampstand, and its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for a lampstand and its lamps, according to the service of lampstand and lampstand;

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

and the gold [by] weight for tables of the arrangement, for table and table, and silver for the tables of silver;

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,

and the forks, and the bowls, and the cups of pure gold, and for the basins of gold, by weight for basin and basin, and for the basins of silver, by weight for basin and basin,

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.

and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight, and for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim of gold, spreading and covering over the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH.

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.

The whole [is] in writing from the hand of YHWH, “He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,” [said David.]

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.

And David says to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do; do not fear nor be frightened, for YHWH God, my God, [is] with you; He does not fail you, nor forsake you, to the completion of all the work of the service of the house of YHWH.

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.

And behold, divisions of the priests and of the Levites [are] for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all work [is] every willing one with wisdom, for every service; and the heads and all the people [are] according to all your words.”
