1 Mpanjaka 8
1 Ary tamin’ izany Solomona mpanjaka dia namory ny loholon’ ny Isiraely sy ny lohan’ ny firenena rehetra, dia ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ho ao aminy tany Jerosalema mba hampakatra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah avy ao Ziona. Tanànan’ i Davida.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2 Dia nivory ho any amin’ i Solomona mpanjaka ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro firavoravoana tamin’ ny volana Etanima (volana fahafito izany).
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 Ary tonga ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ary ny mpisorona no nitondra ny fiara;
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 ary dia nampakariny ny fiaran’ i Jehovah sy ny trano-lay fihaonana mbamin’ ny fanaka masìna rehetra izay tao amin’ ny lay. Nampakarin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ireo zavatra ireo.
And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.
5 Ary Solomona mpanjaka sy ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, izay nivory teo aminy teo anoloan’ ny fiara, dia samy namono zavatra hatao fanatitra, dia ondry aman’ osy sy omby izay tsy tambo isaina sady tsy hita isa noho ny hamaroany.
And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
6 Ary ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah dia nampidirin’ ny mpisorona ho ao amin’ ny fitoerany tao anatin’ ny efi-trano anatiny, dia ny fitoerana masìna indrindra, teo ambanin’ ny elatry ny kerobima,
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7 fa nivelatra teo ambonin’ ny fitoeran’ ny fiara ny elatry ny kerobima ka nanaloka ny fiara sy ny baony.
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves of it above.
8 Ary lava ny bao, ka hita ny lohany, raha amin’ ny fitoerana masìna eo anoloan’ ny efitra anatiny, nefa tsy hita raha eny ivelany; ary mbola ao mandraka androany izy.
And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle. But they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.
9 Ary tsy nisy na inona na inona tao anatin’ ny fiara afa-tsy ny vato fisaka roa, izay nataon’ i Mosesy tao anatiny tany Horeba, fony Jehovah nanao fanekena tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny nivoahany avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb when Jehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Ary nony nivoaka avy tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna ny mpisorona, dia nameno ny tranon’ i Jehovah ny rahona;
And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
11 ka dia tsy nahajanona hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ny mpisorona noho ny rahona, satria ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah nameno ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
12 Dia hoy Solomona: Jehovah efa nilaza fa hitoetra ao amin’ ny aizim-pito Izy.
Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 Efa nanao trano hitoeranao tokoa aho, dia fitoerana hitoeranao mandrakizay.
I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in forever.
14 Ary ny mpanjaka nitodika ka nitso-drano ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra (nitsangana avokoa ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra),
And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
15 ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, fa ny vavany efa niteny tamin’ i Davida raiko, ary ny tànany no nahatanteraka izany taminy, dia ilay hoe:
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 Hatramin’ ny andro nitondrako ny Isiraely oloko nivoaka avy tany Egypta dia tsy mbola nisy tanàna nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra hanaovana trano hitoeran’ ny anarako; fa nifidy an’ i Davida Aho hanapaka ny Isiraely oloko.
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there, but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 Ary efa mby tao am-pon’ i Davida raiko ny hanao trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
18 Nefa hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Davida raiko: Satria tao am-ponao ny fikasana hanao trano ho an’ ny anarako, dia tsara izany fikasanao izany.
But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.
19 Kanefa kosa tsy ianao no hanao ny trano, fa ny zanakao izay haterakao, izy no hanao ny trano ho an’ ny anarako.
Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
20 Ary Jehovah efa nahatanteraka ny teniny izay nolazainy, koa nitsangana handimby an’ i Davida raiko aho ary mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely tahaka ny efa nolazain’ i Jehovah, sady efa nanao ny trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, aho.
And Jehovah has established his word that he spoke, for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
21 Ary nasiako fitoerana teo ho an’ ny fiara izay itoeran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, ilay nataony tamin’ ny razantsika fony Izy nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany Egypta.
And there I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
22 Ary Solomona nitsangana teo anoloan ny alitaran’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ka namelatra ny tànany nanandrify ny lanitra
And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
23 ary nanao hoe. Ry Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, tsy misy Andriamanitra tahaka Anao na amin’ ny lanitra ambony na amin’ ny tany ambany, Izay mitandrina ny fanekenao sy ny famindram-ponao ho an’ ny mpanomponao izay mandeha eo anatrehanao amin’ ny fony rehetra,
And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,
24 sady efa nahatanteraka tamin’ i Davida raiko mpanomponao ilay nolazainao taminy, fa nolazain’ ny vavanao izany dia notanterahin’ ny tananao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.
who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou did promise him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
25 Koa tanteraho amin’ i Davida raiko mpanomponao, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, ilay nolazainao taminy hoe: Tsy ho diso zanakalahy eo anatrehako ianao hipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely, raha ny zanakao mitandrina ny alehany handehanany eo anatrehako tahaka ny nandehananao teo anatrehako.
Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou have walked before me.
26 Koa ankehitriny ry Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, mifona aminao aho, aoka ho tò anie ny teninao, izay nolazainao tamin’ i Davida raiko mpanomponao.
Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David my father.
27 Andriamanitra va dia honina etỳ an-tany tokoa? He! ny lanitra, ary ny lanitry ny lanitra aza tsy omby Anao, koa mainka fa ity trano nataoko ity!
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house that I have built!
28 Koa atreho ny fivavaka sy ny fifonan’ ny mpanomponao, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, mba hohenoinao ny fitarainana sy ny fivavaka izay ataon’ ny mpanomponao eto anatrehanao anio,
Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee this day,
29 mba hihiratan’ ny masonao andro aman’ alina amin’ ity trano ity, dia amin’ ny fitoerana nolazainao hoe: Ho ao ny anarako hihainoanao ny vavaka izay ataon’ ny mpanomponao manatrika ity fitoerana ity.
that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou have said, My name shall be there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
30 Ary henoy ny fifonan’ ny mpanomponao sy ny Isiraely olonao, raha mivavaka manatrika ity fitoerana ity izy; dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao; eny, mihainoa ka mamelà heloka.
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and when thou hear, forgive.
31 Raha misy olona manota amin’ ny namany, ary ampianianiny, ka tonga hianiana eo anoloan’ ny alitaranao amin’ ity trano ity izy,
If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,
32 dia mihainoa any an-danitra Hianao, ka manaova, ary mitsarà ny mpanomponao, hanameloka ny ratsy fanahy ka hampitsingerina ny nataony ho amin’ ny lohany, ary hanamarina ny marina kosa ka hanome azy araka ny fahamarinany.
then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 Raha resy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalo ny Isiraely olonao noho ny nanotany taminao, ary miverina aminao sy manaiky ny anaranao indray ka mivavaka sy mifona aminao eto amin’ ity trano ity izy,
When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication to thee in this house,
34 dia mihainoa any an-danitra Hianao, ka mamelà ny fahotan’ ny Isiraely olonao, ary ampodio amin’ ny tany nomenao ny razany izy.
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to their fathers.
35 Raha mihantona ny andro ka tsy misy ranonorana noho ny nanotan’ ny olona taminao, ka mivavaka manatrika ity fitoerana ity izy ka manaiky ny anaranao sady miala amin’ ny fahotany, satria ampahorinao,
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou afflict them,
36 dia mihainoa any an-danitra Hianao, ka mamelà ny fahotan’ ny mpanomponao, dia ny Isiraely olonao satria atoronao azy ny lalana tsara izay tokony halehany, ary mandatsaha ranonorana amin’ ny taninao, izay nomenao ho lovan’ ny olonao.
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.
37 Raha misy mosary amin’ ny tany, na areti-mandringana, na mainan’ ny rivotra ny vary, na maty fotsy, na misy valala sy sompanga, na misy fahavalo manao fahirano azy ao amin’ ny taniny, dia ao amin’ ny tanànany, na inona fahoriana, na inona aretina,
If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there be,
38 izay vavaka rehetra sy fifonana rehetra ataon’ olona, na ny Isiraely olonao rehetra, izay samy mahalala ny fahorian’ ny fony avy, ka mamelatra ny tànany manatrika ity trano ity izy
whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house,
39 dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao, ka mamelà heloka, ary manaova, ka omeo ny olonao araka ny alehany rehetra, fa fantatrao ny fony (fa Hianao dia Hianao irery ihany no mahalala ny fon’ ny zanak’ olombelona rehetra),
then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of all the sons of men),
40 mba hatahorany Anao amin’ Izay andro rehetra hiainany etỳ amin’ ny tany nomenao ny razanay.
that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.
41 Ary henoy koa ny vahiny izay tsy isan’ ny Isiraely olonao, fa tonga avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra noho ny amin’ ny anaranao izy
Moreover concerning the foreigner who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake
42 (fa ho reny ny anaranao lehibe sy ny tananao mahery ary ny sandrinao ahinjitra), koa raha avy izy ka mivavaka manatrika ity trano ity,
(for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house,
43 dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao, ka manaova araka izay rehetra iantsoan’ ny vahiny Anao, mba ho fantatry ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany ny anaranao hatahorany Anao tahaka ny ataon’ ny Isiraely olonao ihany, ary mba ho fantany fa ny anaranao no efa nantsoina tamin’ ity trano nataoko ity.
hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as does thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
44 Raha mivoaka hiady amin’ ny fahavalon’ ny olonao, na ho aiza na ho aiza no hanirahanao azy, ka mivavaka amin’ i Jehovah manandrify ny tanàna izay nofidinao sy ny trano izay nataoko ho an’ ny anaranao izy,
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,
45 dia henoy any an-danitra ny fivavany sy ny fifonany, ka omeo rariny izy.
then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46 Raha manota aminao izy (fa tsy misy olombelona tsy manota), ka tezitra aminy Hianao ary manolotra azy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony, ka dia ho entin’ ny mpamabo ho babo any amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalo izy, na ho lavitra na ho akaiky.
If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, afar off or near,
47 ary mahatsiaro any amin’ ny tanin’ ireo namabo azy ireo izy, ka mibebaka sy mifona aminao any amin’ ny tany izay nitondrany azy ho babo ary manao hoe: Efa nanota izahay sady efa nanao meloka sy efa nanao ratsy.
yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly,
48 ka dia miverina aminao amin’ ny fony rehetra sy ny fanahiny rehetra ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalony izay namabo azy izy, ary mivavaka aminao manandrify ny taniny izay nomenao ny razany sy ny tanàna izay nofidinao ary ny trano izay nataoko ho an’ ny anaranao,
if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, the city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,
49 dia henoy any an-danitra fonenanao ny fivavany sy ny fifonany, ka omeo rariny izy;
then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their case,
50 eny, mamelà ny heloky ny olonao izay nanota taminao sy ny fahadisoany rehetra izay nataony taminao, ary ataovy mahazo famindram-po amin’ izay mamabo azy izy, dia ny hamindran’ ireo fo aminy;
and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions by which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51 fa olonao sy lovanao izy, izay nentinao nivoaka avy tany Egypta, dia avy tao amin’ ny memy fandrendreham-by,
(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);
52 mba hihiratan’ ny masonao amin’ ny fifonan’ ny mpanomponao sy ny fifonan’ ny Isiraely olonao hihaino azy amin’ izay rehetra iantsoany Anao.
that thine eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them whenever they cry to thee.
53 Fa Hianao, Jehovah, Tompo ô no nanavaka azy tamin’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany ho lovanao, araka izay nampilazainao an’ i Mosesy mpanomponao tamin’ ny nitondranao ny razanay nivoaka avy tany Egypta.
For thou separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spoke by Moses thy servant when thou brought our fathers out of Egypt, O lord Jehovah.
54 Ary rehefa vita izany vavaka sy fifonana vehetra nataon’ i Solomona tamin’ i Jehovah: any, dia nitsangana niala teo amin’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah izay efa nandohalehan’ ny lohaliny sy efa namelarany ny tànany ho amin’ ny lanitra izy.
And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
55 Ary nitsangana izy ka nitso-drano ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe:
And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 Isaorana anie Jehovah, izay nanome fitsaharana ho an’ ny Isiraely olony araka izay rehetra nolazainy; tsy misy latsaka na dia teny iray aza tamin’ izay teny soa rehetra nampilazainy an’ i Mosesy mpanompony.
Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
57 Jehovah Andriamanitsika anie no amintsika, tahaka ny tamin’ ny razantsika; aoka tsy handao na hahafoy antsika Izy,
Jehovah our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us,
58 mba hampanatoniny Azy ny fontsika handehanantsika amin’ ny lalany rehetra sy hitandremantsika ny lalàny sy ny didiny ary ny fitsipiny izay nandidiany ny razantsika.
that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Ary aoka izany teny nifonako teto anatrehan’ i Jehovah izany ho ao amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika andro aman’ alina, mba hanomezany rariny ho ahy mpanompony sy ny Isiraely olony araka izay tandrifiny ho azy isan’ andro,
And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require,
60 mba ho fantatry ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra, fa tsy misy afa-tsy Izy.
that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.
61 Ary aoka ho marina amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika anie ny fonareo, handehananareo amin’ ny didiny sy hitandremanareo ny lalàny, tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.
Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
62 Ary ny mpanjaka sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.
63 Ary Solomona namono zavatra hatao fanati-pihavanana, Izay nateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, dia omby roa arivo amby roa alina sy ondry aman’ osy roa alina amby iray hetsy. Toy izany no nitokanan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.
64 Ary androtr’ io ihany no nanamasinan’ ny mpanjaka ny afovoan’ ny kianja izay teo anoloan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah; fa teo no nanaterany fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hohanina ary ny saboran’ ny fanati-pihavanana; fa kely loatra ny alitara varahina izay teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ka tsy omby ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hohanina ary ny saboran’ ny fanati-pihavanana.
The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Solomona sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy, dia fiangonana lehibe hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata ka hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Egypta, dia nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika hafitoana indroa, dia efatra ambin’ ny folo andro.
So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
66 Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahavalo dia nampodiny ny olona, ary nisaotra andriana izy, dia lasa nandeha ho any an-dainy avy, sady faly no ravoravo ny fony noho ny soa rehetra nataon’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Davida mpanompony sy ny Isiraely olony.
On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
