2 Tantara 2
1 Ary Solomona nilaza fa hanao trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah sy lapa ho an’ ny tenany.
Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
2 Dia nanisa olona fito alina ho mpitondra entana Solomona ary valo alina ho mpikapa hazo eny an-tendrombohitra ary enin-jato amby telo arivo ho mpifehy azy.
Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3 Ary Solomona naniraka hankany amin’ i Hirama, mpanjakan’ i Tyro, hanao hoe: Tahaka ny nataonao tamin’ i Davida raiko, raha nampanatitra hazo sedera ho azy hanaovany trano hitoerany ianao,
Solomon sent to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying, "As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.
4 indro, izaho efa efa hanao trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro izay hohamasinina ho Azy ka handoroana ditin-kazo mani-pofona eo anatrehany sy hasiana ny mofo aseho mandrakariva ary handoroana ny fanatitra isa-maraina sy Isan-kariva ary amin’ ny Sabata sy ny voaloham-bolana ary amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahina voatendrin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray; ho adidin’ ny Isiraely mandrakizay izany.
Look, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 Ary ny trano efa hataoko dia lehibe, satria lehibe noho ny andriamanitra rehetra ny Andriamanitray.
"The house which I build is great; for our God is great above all gods.
6 Nefa iza no mahay manao trano ho Azy? Fa ny lanitra ary ny lanitry ny lanitra aza tsy omby Azy. Ka iza moa aho, no hanao trano ho Azy, afa-tsy ny handoroana ditin-kazo manitra eo anatrehany ihany?
But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?
7 Koa aniraho olon-kendry aho hiasa volamena sy volafotsy sy varahina sy vy sy volomparasy sy jaky ary manga, ary izay mahay misokitra manao sarin-javatra mba hiara-manao amin’ ny olo-mahay zavatra izay atỳ amiko atỳ Joda sy Jerosalema, izay efa nomanin’ i Davida raiko.
"Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
8 Ary anatero hazo sedera sy kypreso ary almoga avy any Libanona koa aho; fa fantatro fa mahay mikapa hazo any Libanona ny vahoakanao; ary, indro, ny vahoakako hiaraka amin’ ny vahoakanao
"Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and look, my servants shall be with your servants,
9 mba hanamboatra hazo betsaka ho ahy; fa ny trano izay efa hataoko dia ho lehibe higagana.
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.
10 Ary, indro, homeko vary tritika voafotsy sy vary hordea roa alina kora avy ary divay sy diloilo roa alina bata avy ny vahoakanao mpikapa hazo.
Look, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil."
11 Ary hoy Hirama, mpanjakan’ i Tyro, tamin’ ny taratasy izay nampanateriny ho any amin’ i Solomona: Noho ny fitiavan’ i Jehovah ny olony no nanendreny anao ho mpanjakany.
Then Hiram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because the LORD loves his people, he has made you king over them."
12 Ary hoy koa Hirama: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay nanao ny lanitra sy ny tany, noho ny nanomezany an’ i Davida zanaka hendry, izay manana fahendrena sy fahalalana, ka hanao trano ho an’ i Jehovah sy lapa ho an’ ny tenany izy.
Hiram continued, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
13 Koa ankehitriny, indro, maniraka olona mahay zavatra sady manana fahalalana aho, dia Hiram-aby,
Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Hiram Abi,
14 zanaky ny vehivavy Danita sy ny lehilahy Tyriana. Ary izy dia mahay miasa volamena sy volafotsy sy varahina sy vy sy vato sy hazo sy volomparasy sy manga sy rongony fotsy madinika ary jaky; ary mahay misokitra manao sarin-javatra samy hafa sy mahay manao marika amin’ izay asa rehetra asaina ataony, ka dia hiara-manao amin’ ny olon-kendrinao sy ny olon-kendrin’ itompokolahy Davida rainao Izy.
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to execute any design; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.
15 Ary ny vary tritika sy ny vary hordea ary ny diloilo sy ny divay, izay nolazainao, tompokolahy dia aoka hampanaterina ho atỳ aminay mpanomponao;
"Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:
16 Ary izahay dia hikapa hazo any Libanona araka izay rehetra tadiavinao; ary hofehezinay ka hampandehaninay mitsinkafona amin’ ny ranomasina ho any Jopa; ary ianao kosa no hitondra azy miakatra hankany Jerosalema.
and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem."
17 Ary Solomona nanisa ny lehilahy hafa firenena rehetra izay nonina tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely araka ny nanisan’ i Davida rainy Lzy, ary ny isany dia enin-jato amby telo arivo amby dimy alina sy iray hetsy.
Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.
18 Ary ny fito alina tamin’ ireo dia nataony mpitondra entana, ary ny valo alina nataony mpikapa hazo eny an-tendrombohitra, ary ny enin-jato amby telo arivo nataony mpifehy hampiasa ny olona.
He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
