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.
When all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was completed, Solomon brought in the things that David, his father, had set apart for this purpose, including the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings—he placed them into the treasuries 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.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes, and the leaders of the families of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, that is, Zion.
3 Dia nivory ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro firavoravoana tamin’ ny volana fahafito.
All the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.
4 Ary tonga koa ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ka ny Levita no nitondra ny fiara,
All the elders of Israel came, and 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.
They brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tent. The priests who were of the tribe of Levi brought these things up.
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.
King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel came together before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted.
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;
The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the inner room of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
8 fa nivelatra tambonin’ ny fitoeran’ ny fiara ny elatry ny kerobima ka nanaloka ny fiara sy ny baony.
For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and they covered the ark and the poles by which it was carried.
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.
The poles were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place in front of the inner room, but they could not be seen from outside. They are there to 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.
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came 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),
It came about that the priests came out of the holy place. All the priests who were present had consecrated themselves to Yahweh, not ordering themselves according to their divisions.
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;
Also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood at the east end of the altar. With them were 120 priests blowing 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;
It came about that the trumpeters and singers made music together, making one sound to be heard for praising and thanking Yahweh. They raised their voices with the trumpets and cymbals and other instruments, and they praised Yahweh. They sang, “For he is good, for his covenant loyalty endures forever.” Then the house, the house of Yahweh, 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.
The priests could not stand in order to serve because of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled his house.
