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 assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men 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;

Then David the king stood upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:

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

But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast 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.

However the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he approved 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 of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons, ) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon 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 thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] 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.

Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he shall be constant to do my commandments 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.

Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

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 thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou shalt forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

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

Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee 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 to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses of it, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner parlors, and of the place of 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,

And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries 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,

Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels 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,

[He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of 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,

Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick.

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

And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of show-bread, for every table; and [likewise] 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,

Also pure gold for the flesh-hooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight for every basin; and [likewise silver] by weight for every basin of silver:

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 gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out [their wings], and covered 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], the LORD made me understand in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.

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 said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

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, the courses of the priests and the Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at thy command.
