2 Tantara 5

1 Toy izany no nahavitana ny asa rehetra nataon’ i Solomona ho amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah; ary nampidirin’ i Solomona ny zavatra rehetra izay efa nohamasinin’ i Davida rainy dia ny volafotsy sy ny volamena; ary ny fanaka rehetra dia nataony tao amin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God.

2 Ary tamin’ izany dia novorin’ i Solomona ny loholon’ ny Isiraely sy ny lehiben’ ny firenena rehetra, dia ny lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny Zanak’ isiraely ho any Jerosalema hampakatra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah avy any Ziona, Tanànan’ i Davida.

And after this he gathered together the ancients of Israel, and all the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families, of the children of Israel to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion.

3 Dia nivory ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro firavoravoana tamin’ ny volana fahafito.

And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month.

4 Ary tonga koa ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ka ny Levita no nitondra ny fiara,

And when all the ancients of Israel were come, the Levites took up the ark,

5 dia nampakariny ny fiara sy ny trano-lay fihaonana ary ny fanaka masìna rehetra izay tao amin’ ny lay. Nampakarin’ ny Levita mpisorona ireo zavatra ireo.

And brought it in, together with all the furniture of the tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

6 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 assembly of Israel, and all that were gathered together before the ark, sacrificed rams, and oxen without number: so great was the multitude of the victims.

7 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 the Lord into its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims:

8 fa nivelatra tambonin’ ny fitoeran’ ny fiara ny elatry ny kerobima ka nanaloka ny fiara sy ny baony.

So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves.

9 Ary lava ny bao, ka hita ny lohany, raha eo amin’ ny fiara eo anoloan’ ny efitra matiny nefa tsy hita eny ivelany, ary mbola ao mandraka androany izy.

Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there unto this day.

10 Ary tsy nisy na inona na inona tao anatin’ ny fiara afa-tsy ny vato fisaka roa ihany izay nataon’ i Mosesy tao anatiny fony tany Horeba, tamin’ i Jehovah nanao fanekena tamin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely, tamin’ ny nivoahany avy tany Egypta.

And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of Israel, at their coming out of Egypt.

11 Ary nony nivoaka avy tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna ny mpisorona (fa ny mpisorona rehetra izay teo dia samy efa nanamasina ny tenany, fa tsy mba nifandimby isan-toko taminy izay),

Now when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, (for all the priests that could be found there, mere sanctified: and as yet at that time the courses and orders of the ministries were not divided among them, )

12 ary ny Levita mpihira rehetra, dia Asafa sy Hemana sy Jedotona mbamin’ ny zanany sy ny rahalahiny, izay nitafy rongony fotsy madinita sady nitondra kipantsona sy valiha ary lokanga, dia nitsangana teo atsinanan’ ny alitara, ary teo aminy koa nisy pisorona roa-polo amby zato nitsoka trompetra;

Both the Levites and the singing men, that is, both they that were under Asaph, and they that were under Heman, and they that were under Idithun, with their sons, and their brethren, clothed with fine linen, sounded with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing on the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, sounding with trumpets.

13 ary efa toy ny feo iray no fandrenesana ny mpitsoka trompetra sy ny mpihira, raha nidera sy nisaotra an’ i Jehovah izy; ka nony nanandratra ny feony izy sady nampaneno ny trompetra sy ny kipantsona sy ny zava-maneno isan-karazany ka nidera an’ i Jehovah fa tsara Izy, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony, dia feno rahona ny tranon’ i Jehovah;

So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud.

14 ka dia tsy nahajanona hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ny mpisorona noho ny rahona; fa feno ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.

Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
