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 did for the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.

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 princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, 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.

So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to 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. 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 vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these 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 congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or 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;

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 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 the cherubim covered the ark and its poles 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.

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is 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 which Moses put there 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),

When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep 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, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with shofars);

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;

when 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 shofars and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even the LORD’s house,

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 LORD’s glory filled God’s house.
