2 Tantara 6

1 Dia hoy Solomona: Jehovah efa nilaza fa hitoetra ao amin’ ny aizim-pito Izy.

Then Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,

2 Nefa izaho efa nanao trano hitoeranao tokoa, dia fitoerana hitoeranao mandrakizay.

and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”

3 Ary ny mpanjaka nitodika ka nitso-drano ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra (nitsangana avokoa ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra),

And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,

4 ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, fa ny vavany efa niteny tamin’ i Davida raiko, ary ny tànany no nahatanteraka izany taminy, dia ilay hoe:

and he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has fulfilled [it], saying,

5 Hatramin’ ny andro nitondrako ny oloko nivoaka avy tany Egypta dia tsy mbola nisy tanàna nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ isiraely rehetra hanaovana trano mba hitoeran’ ny anarako; ary tsy nisy olona nofidiko ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely oloko;

From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel;

6 fa nifidy an’ i Jerosalema Aho hitoeran’ ny anarako, ary nifidy an’ i Davida Aho hanapaka ny Isiraely oloko.

and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

7 Ary efa mby tao am-pon’ i Davida raiko ny hanao trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

And it is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH God of Israel,

8 Nefa hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Davida raiko: Satria tao am-ponao ny fikasana hanao trano ho an’ ny anarako, dia tsara izany fikasanao izany.

and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with your heart,

9 Kanefa tsy ianao no hanao ny trano, fa ny zanakao izay haterakao, izy no hanao ny trano ho an’ ny anarako.

but you do not build the house, for your son who comes forth out from your loins, he builds the house for My Name.

10 Ary Jehovah efa nahatanteraka ny teniny izay nolazainy, koa nitsangana handimby an’ i Davida raiko aho ary mipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely tahaka ny efa nolazain’ i Jehovah, sady efa nanao ny trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, aho.

And YHWH establishes His word that He spoke, and I rise up in the stead of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I build the house for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel,

11 Ary napetrako tao ny fiara izay itoeran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, ilay nataony tamin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely.

and I place the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is] that He made with the sons of Israel.”

12 Ary Solomona nitsangana teo anoloan’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ka namelatra ny tànany

And he stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hand—

13 fa efa nanao fitaingenana varahina izy, ary napetrany teo afovoan’ ny kianja io (dimy hakiho ny lavany, ary dimy hakiho ny sakany, ary telo hakiho ny hahavony); dia nitsangana teo amin’ io izy ka nandohalika teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ary namelatra ny tànany manandrify ny lanitra

for Solomon has made a scaffold of bronze, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands on it, and kneels on his knees in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads forth his hands toward the heavens—

14 ka nanao hoe: Ry Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, tsy misy Andriamanitra tahaka Anao, na any an-danitra na etỳ an-tany, Izay mitandrina ny fanekenao sy ny famindram-ponao ho an’ ny mpanomponao izay mandeha eo anatrehanao amin’ ny fony rehetra,

and says, “O YHWH God of Israel, there is not like You a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants who are walking before You with all their heart;

15 sady efa nahatanteraka tamin’ i Davida raiko mpanomponao ilay nolazainao taminy; fa nolazain’ ny vavanao izany, dia notanterahin’ ny tananao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.

who has kept for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], as at this day.

16 Koa tanteraho amin’ i Davida raiko mpanomponao, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, ilay nolazainao taminy hoe: Tsy ho diso zanakalahy eo anatrehako ianao hipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely, raha ny zanakao mitandrina ny alehany ka mankatò ny lalàko tahaka ny nandehananao teo anatrehako.

And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way to walk in My law, as you have walked before Me.

17 Koa ankehitriny, ry Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, mifona amina aho, aoka ho tò anie ny teninao, izay nolazainao tamin’ i Davida mpanomponao.

And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, let Your word be steadfast that You have spoken to Your servant, to David.

18 Andriamanitra va dia honina amin’ ny olona etỳ an-tany tokoa? He! ny lanitra, ary ny lanitry ny lanitra aza, tsy omby Anao, koa mainka fa ity trano nataoko ity!

For is it true [that] God dwells with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain You, how much less this house that I have built?

19 Koa atreho ny fivavaka sy ny fifonan’ ny mpanomponao, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, mba hohenoinao ny fitarainana sy ny fivavaka izay ataon’ ny mpanomponao eto anatrehanao,

And You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer that Your servant is praying before You,

20 mba hihiratan’ ny masonao andro aman’ alina amin’ ity trano ity, dia amin’ ny fitoerana nolazainao hoe: Ao no hasiako ny anarako, hihainoanao ny vavaka izay ataon’ ny mpanomponao manatrika ity fitoerana ity.

for Your eyes being open toward this house by day and by night, toward the place that You have said to put Your Name there, to listen to the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

21 Ary henoy ny fifonan’ ny mpanomponao sy ny Isiraely olonao, raha mivavaka manatrika ity fitoerana ity izy; dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao; eny, mihainoa, ka mamelà heloka.

And You have listened to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place, and You hear from the place of Your dwelling, from the heavens, and have listened, and forgiven.

22 Raha misy olona manota amin’ ny namany, ary ampianianiny, ka tonga hianiana eo anoloan’ ny alitaranao amin’ ity trano ity izy,

If a man sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in before Your altar in this house—

23 dia mihainoa any an-danitra Hianao, ka manaova, ary mitsarà ny mpanomponao, hamaly ny ratsy fanahy ka hampitsingerina ny nataony ho amin’ ny lohany, ary hanamarina ny marina kosa ka hanome azy araka ny fahamarinany.

then You hear from the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to him according to his righteousness.

24 Raha resy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalo ny Isiraely olonao noho ny nanotany taminao, ary miverina sy manaiky ny anaranao indray ka mivavaka sy mifona eto anatrehanao amin’ ity trano ity izy,

And if Your people Israel is struck before an enemy because they sin against You, and they have turned back and confessed Your Name, and prayed and made supplication before You in this house—

25 dia mihainoa any an-danitra, Hianao, ka mamelà ny fahotan’ ny Isiraely olonao, ary ampodio amin’ ny tany nomenao azy sy ny razany izy.

then You hear from the heavens and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and caused them to return to the ground that You have given to them, and to their fathers.

26 Raha mihantona ny andro, ka tsy misy ranonorana noho ny nanotan’ ny olona taminao, ary mivavaka manatrika ity fitoerana ity izy ka manaiky ny anaranao sady miala amin’ ny fahotany, satria ampahorinao,

In the heavens being restrained and there is no rain because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your Name, [and] they turn back from their sin because You afflict them—

27 dia mihainoa any an-danitra Hianao, ka mamelà ny fahotan’ ny mpanomponao, dia ny Isiraely olonao, satria atoronao azy ny lalana tsara izay tokony halehany, ary mandatsaha ranonorana amin’ ny taninao, izay nomenao ho lovan’ ny olonao.

then You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, because You direct them to the good way in which they walk, and have given rain on Your land that You have given to Your people for an inheritance.

28 Raha misy mosary amin’ ny tany, na areti-mandringana, na mainan’ ny rivotra ny vary, na maty fotsy, na misy valala sy sompanga, na misy fahavalo manao fahirano azy ao amin’ ny taniny, dia ao amin’ ny tanànany, na inona fahoriana, na inona aretina,

Famine, when it is in the land, [and] pestilence, when it is [in the land], blasting and mildew, locust and caterpillar, when they are [in the land], when its enemies have distressed it in the land—its gates, any plague and any sickness;

29 izay vavaka rehetra sy fifonana rehetra ataon’ olona, na ny Isiraely olonao rehetra, izay samy mahalala ny fahoriany sy ny alahelony avy, ka mamelatra ny tànany manatrika ity trano ity izy,

any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Your people Israel, when they each know his own plague, and his own pain, and he has spread out his hands toward this house—

30 dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao, ka mamelà heloka, ka omeo ny olona araka ny alehany rehetra, fa fantatrao ny fony (fa Hianao dia Hianao irery ihany no mahalala ny fon’ ny zanak’ olombelona, )

then You hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You alone have known the heart of the sons of men),

31 mba hatahorany Anao sy handehanany amin’ ny lalanao amin’ izay andro rehetra hiainany etỳ amin’ ny tany nomenao ny razanay.

so that they fear You, to walk in Your ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given to our fathers.

32 Ary henoy koa ny vahiny izay tsy isan’ ny Isiraely olonao, fa tonga avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra noho ny amin’ ny anaranao lehibe sy ny tananao mahery ary ny sandrinao ahinjitra, koa raha avy izy ka mivavaka manatrika ity trano ity,

And also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far-off land for the sake of Your great Name, and Your strong hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they have come in and prayed toward this house—

33 dia mihainoa any an-danitra fonenanao Hianao, ka manaova araka izay rehetra iantsoan’ ny vahiny Anao, mba ho fantatry ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany ny anaranao hatahorany Anao tahaka ny ataon’ ny Isiraely olonao ihany, ary mba ho fantany fa ny anaranao no efa nantsoina tamin’ ity trano nataoko ity.

then You hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth know Your Name, so as to fear You, as Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name is called on this house that I have built.

34 Raha mivoaka hiady amin’ ny fahavalony ny olonao, na ho aiza na ho aiza no hanirahanao azy, ka mivavaka aminao manandrify ity tanana izay nofidinao ity sy ny trano izay nataoko ho an’ ny anaranao izy,

When Your people go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to You [in] the way of this city that You have fixed on, and the house that I have built for Your Name—

35 dia henoy any an-danitra ny fivavany sy ny fifonany, ka omeo rariny izy.

then You have heard their prayer and their supplication from the heavens, and have maintained their cause.

36 Raha manota aminao izy (fa tsy misy olombelona tsy manota), ka tezitra aminy Hianao ary manolotra azy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony, ka dia entin’ ny mpamabo ho babo any amin’ ny tany na ho lavitra na ho akaiky izy,

When they sin against You—for there is not a man who does not sin—and You have been angry with them, and have given them before an enemy, and their captors have taken them captive to a land far off or near;

37 ary mahatsiaro any amin’ ny tany nitondrana azy ho babo izy ka mibebaka sy mifona aminao any amin’ ny tany izay nitondrana azy ho babo ary manao hoe: Efa nanota izahay sady efa nanao meloka sy efa nanao ratsy,

and they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back and made supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done wickedly;

38 ka dia miverina aminao amin’ ny fony rehetra sy ny fanahiny rehetra izy ao amin’ ny tany nitondrana azy ho babo ary mivavaka manandrify ny taniny izay nomenao ny razany sy ny tanàna izay nofidinao ary ny trano izay nataoko ho an’ ny anaranao,

indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to where they have taken them captive, and they have prayed [in] the way of their land that You have given to their fathers, and of the city that You have chosen, and of the house that I have built for Your Name—

39 dia henoy any an-danitra fonenanao ny fivavany sy ny fifonanao ka omeo rariny izy; ary mamelà ny olonao izay efa nanota taminao.

then You have heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and have maintained their cause, and forgiven Your people who have sinned against You.

40 Ankehitriny, ry Andriamanitro ô, mifona aminao aho, aoka hihiratra ny masonao, an aoka ny sofinao hihaino ny vavaka atao amin’ ity fitoerana ity.

Now my God, I implore You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

41 Koa ankehitriny mitsangàna, ry Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, ho amin’ ny fitsaharanao, dia Hianao sy ny fiaran’ ny herinao; aoka ny mpisoronao hitafy famonjena, Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, ary aoka ny olonao masìna hifaly amin’ ny soa.

And now, rise, O YHWH God, to Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength; Your priests, O YHWH God, are clothed with salvation, and Your saints rejoice in the goodness.

42 Ry Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, aza lavinao ny voahosotrao; tsarovy ny famindram-po nampanantenaina an’ i Davida mpanomponao.

O YHWH God, do not turn back the face of Your anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of Your servant David.”
