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.

Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in [all] the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, 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.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the city of David, which [is] Zion.

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

Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king in the feast which [was] in the seventh month.

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

And 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.

And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, these did the priests [and] the Levites bring 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.

Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

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 to its place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy [place], [even] 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 forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark, and the staffs of it above.

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.

And they drew out the staffs [of the ark], that the ends of the staffs were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is 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 save the two tables which Moses put [in it] at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children 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),

And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy [place]: (for all the priests [that were] present were sanctified, [and] did not [then] wait by course:

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 of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren; [being] arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end 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;

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers [were] as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up [their] voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: that [then] the house was filled with a cloud, [even] the house of the LORD;

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

So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
