2 Tantara 7
1 Ary rehefa vita izany vavak’ i Solomona izany, dia nisy afo latsaka avy tany an-danitra ka nandevona ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà, ka feno ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ny trano.
And when Solomon had finished praying, then the fire came down from heaven, and devoured the whole burnt offerings and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
2 Ary ny mpisorona tsy nahazo niditra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, satria feno ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ny tranony.
And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord at that time, for the glory of the Lord filled the house.
3 Ary nony hitan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra ny nilatsahan’ ny afo sy ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah teo ambonin’ ny trano, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny lampivato izy ka nivavaka sy nidera an’ i Jehovah, fa tsara Izy, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony.
And all the children of Israel saw the fire descending, and the glory of the Lord was upon the house: and they fell upon their face to the ground on the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord; for [it is] good [to do so], because his mercy [endures] for ever.
4 Ary ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
And the king and all the people [were] offering sacrifices before the Lord.
5 Ary Solomona mpanjaka namono zavatra hatao fanatitra, dia omby roa arivo amby roa alina sy ondry aman’ osy roa alina amby iray hetsy. Toy izany no nitokanan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of calves twenty and two thousand, of sheep a hundred and twenty thousand: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6 Ary ny mpisorona samy nitsangana hanao ny anjara-raharahany avy; ny Levita koa nanana ny zava-manenon’ i Jehovah, izay nataon’ i Davida mpanjaka hiderana an’ i Jehovah, fa mandrakizay ny famindram-pony, raha nasain’ i Davida nidera an’ Andriamanitra izy; ary ny mpisorona nitsoka ny trompetra teo anoloany, ary ny Isiraely rehetra nitsangana teo.
And the priests were standing at their watches, and the Levites with instruments of music of the Lord, belonging to king David, to give thanks before the Lord, for his mercy [endures] for ever, with the hymns of David, by their ministry: and the priests were blowing the trumpets before them, and all Israel standing.
7 Ary Solomona nanamasina ny afovoan’ ny kianja izay teo anoloan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah; fa tao no nanaterany ny fanatitra dorana sy ny saboran’ ny fanati-pihavavana; fa ny alitara varahina izay nataon’ i Solomona dia tsy omby ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hohanina ary ny sabora.
And Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in the house of the Lord: for he offered there the whole burnt offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings, for the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not sufficient to receive the whole burnt offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.
8 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Solomona ny Isiraely rehetra izay teo aminy, dia nangonana lehibe hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata ka hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Egypta, dia nitandrina ny andro firavoravoana hafitoana.
And Solomon kept the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entering in of Aemath, and as far as the river of Egypt.
9 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahavalo dia nanao fara-fivoriana Izy; fa hafitoana no nitandremany ny fitokanana ny alitara, ary hafitoana koa ny andro firavoravoana.
And on the eighth day he kept a solemn assembly: for he kept a feast of seven days as the dedication of the altar.
10 Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahafito dia nampodiny ho Eny an-dainy avy ny olona, ary faly sy ravoravo izy noho ny soa nataon’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Davida sy Solomona ary ny Isiraely olony.
And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he dismissed the people to their tents, rejoicing, and with a glad heart because of the good deeds which the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
11 Toy izany no nahavitan’ i Solomona ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny lapan’ andriana, ary samy nataon’ i Solomona lavorary avokoa zay rehetra efa voaheviny hatao tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy tao an-dapany.
So Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and in whatever Solomon wished in his heart to do in the house of the Lord and in his own house, he prospered.
12 Ary Jehovah niseho tamin’ i Solomona nony alina ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa reko ny vavakao, ary efa nofidiko ho Ahy ity fitoerana ity ho trano fanateram-panatitra.
And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.
13 Koa, indro, raha mampihantona ny andro Aho, ka tsy misy ranonorana latsaka, na asaiko mandany ny tany ny valala, na anaterako areti-mandringana ny oloko,
If I should restrain the heaven and there should be no rain, and if I should command the locust to devour the trees, and if I should send pestilence upon my people;
14 raha ny oloko izay nantsoina amin’ ny anarako ho avy hanetry tena ka hivavaka sy hitady ny tavako ary hiala amin’ ny ratsy fanaony, dia hihaino any an-danitra Aho ka hamela ny helony ary hahasitrana ny taniny.
then if my people, on whom my name is called, should repent, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, I also will hear from heaven, and I will be merciful to their sins, and I will heal their land.
15 Ary izao dia hihiratra ny masoko, ary ny sofiko hihaino ny vavaka Izay atao amin’ ity fitoerana ity;
And now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.
16 fa efa nofidiko sy nohamasiniko ity trano ity mba hitoeran’ ny anarako mandrakizay, ary ny masoko sy ny foko ho ao mandrakariva.
And now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that my name should be there for ever: and my eyes and my heart shall be there always.
17 Ary ny aminao, raha handeha eo anatrehako tahaka ny nandehanan’ i Davida rainao ianao ka hanao araka izay andidiako anao sy hitandrina ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko,
And if you will walk before me as David your father [did], and will do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my ordinances and my judgements;
18 dia hampitoeriko ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakanao, araka ny fanekeko tamin’ i Davida rainao hoe: Tsy ho diso zanakalahy ho mpanapaka amin’ ny Isiraely ianao.
then will I establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man ruling in Israel.
19 Fa raha mivily kosa ianareo ka mahafoy ny didiko sy ny lalako, izay nataoko teo anoloanareo, ka mandeha manompo andriamani-kafa sy miankohoka eo anatrehany
But if you should turn away, and forsake my ordinances and my commandments, which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them;
20 dia hongotako amin’ ny tany izay nomeko anareo; ary hofongorako tsy ho eo imasoko ity trano nohamasiniko ho an’ ny anarako ity sady hataoko ho ohabolana sy ho ambentinteny any amin’ ny firenena rehetra.
then will I remove you from the land which I gave them; and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will remove out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword amongst all nations.
21 Ary na dia avo aza ity trano ity, dia ho fitalanjonan’ izay rehetra mandalo azy ka hatao hoe: Naninona re no dia nataon’ i Jehovah toy izao ity tany sy ity trano ity?
And [as for] this lofty house, every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall say, Therefore has the Lord done [thus] to this land, and to this house?
22 Ary hisy hamaly hoe: Satria nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, Izay nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta izy ka nikikitra tamin’ andriamani-kafa sady niankohoka teo anatrehany sy nanompo azy, koa izany no nampidirany izao loza rehetra izao taminy.
And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they attached themselves to other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: and therefore he has brought upon them all this evil.
