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 with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, 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).
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;
All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked 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.
They brought up the LORD’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these 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.
King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or 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,
The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.
7 fa nivelatra teo ambonin’ ny fitoeran’ ny fiara ny elatry ny kerobima ka nanaloka ny fiara sy ny baony.
For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles 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.
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside. They are there 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 stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children 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;
It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the LORD’s house,
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 LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
12 Dia hoy Solomona: Jehovah efa nilaza fa hitoetra ao amin’ ny aizim-pito Izy.
Then Solomon said, “The LORD 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 you a house of habitation, a place for you 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),
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:
He said, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your 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 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your 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, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, 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.
The LORD has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, 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.
There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, 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
Solomon stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands towards 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, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you 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 has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
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, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you 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, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your 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 in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; 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 respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;
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 your eyes may be open towards this house night and day, even towards the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays towards 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.
Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray towards this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you 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 neighbour, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your 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 in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on 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 your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn again to you and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you 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 in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you 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 the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray towards this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you 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 in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land which you have given to your 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 is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,
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 is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands towards 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 in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);
40 mba hatahorany Anao amin’ Izay andro rehetra hiainany etỳ amin’ ny tany nomenao ny razanay.
that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you 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 your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your 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 your great name and of your mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays towards 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 in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your 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 your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD towards the city which you have chosen, and towards the house which I have built for your name,
45 dia henoy any an-danitra ny fivavany sy ny fifonany, ka omeo rariny izy.
then hear 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 you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far 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 repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you 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 you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to you towards their land which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name,
49 dia henoy any an-danitra fonenanao ny fivavany sy ny fifonany, ka omeo rariny izy;
then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
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 your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; 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 your people and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace);
52 mba hihiratan’ ny masonao amin’ ny fifonan’ ny mpanomponao sy ny fifonan’ ny Isiraely olonao hihaino azy amin’ izay rehetra iantsoany Anao.
that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
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 you separated them from amongst all the peoples of the earth to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord GOD.”
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.
It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the LORD’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out towards heaven.
55 Ary nitsangana izy ka nitso-drano ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe:
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 the LORD, 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,
May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or 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, 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,
Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires;
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 the LORD himself is God. There is no one 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 the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”
62 Ary ny mpanjaka sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
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.
Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the LORD’s house.
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 made the middle of the court holy that was before the LORD’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, 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 the LORD our God, seven days and seven more 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 in their hearts for all the goodness that the LORD had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
