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 at Solomon’s finishing to pray, then the fire has come down from the heavens and consumes the burnt-offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of YHWH has 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 have not been able to go into the house of YHWH, because the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH.
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 sons of Israel are looking on the descending of the fire, and the glory of YHWH on the house, and they bow—faces to the earth—on the pavement, and pay respect, and give thanks to YHWH, [saying], “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!”
4 Ary ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
And the king and all the people are sacrificing a sacrifice before YHWH,
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 sacrifices the sacrifice: twenty-two thousand of the herd and one hundred and twenty thousand of the flock; and the king and all the people dedicate 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 are standing over their charges, and the Levites with instruments of the song of YHWH that David the king made, to give thanks to YHWH, for His kindness [is] for all time, in David’s praising by their hand—and the priests are blowing trumpets opposite them, and all of Israel is 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 sanctifies the middle of the court that [is] before the house of YHWH, for he has made the burnt-offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings there, for the altar of bronze that Solomon made has not been able to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, 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 makes the celebration at that time [for] seven days, and all Israel with him—a very great assembly—from the entering in of Hamath to the Brook 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 they make a restraint on the eighth day, because they have made the dedication of the altar [for] seven days, and the celebration [for] seven days.
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 has sent the people to their tents, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for the goodness that YHWH has done to David, and to Solomon, and to His people Israel.
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.
And Solomon finishes the house of YHWH, and the house of the king; and all that has come on the heart of Solomon to do in the house of YHWH, and in his own house, he has caused to prosper.
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 YHWH appears to Solomon by night and says to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have fixed on this place for 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 restrain the heavens and there is no rain, and if I lay charge on the locust to consume the land, and if I send pestilence among 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.
and My people on whom My Name is called are humbled, and pray, and seek My face, and turn back from their evil ways, then I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15 Ary izao dia hihiratra ny masoko, ary ny sofiko hihaino ny vavaka Izay atao amin’ ity fitoerana ity;
Now My eyes are 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 for My Name being there for all time; indeed, My eyes and My heart have been there [for] all the days.
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 you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded you, and keep My statutes and My judgments—
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 I have established the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with your father David, saying, A man of yours is never cut off [from] 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
and if you turn back—you—and have forsaken My statutes and My commands that I have placed before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them—then I have plucked them from off My ground that I have given to 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.
and this house that I have sanctified for My Name, I cast from before My face, and make it for a proverb and for a byword among all the peoples.
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 this house that has been high is an astonishment to everyone passing by it, and he has said, Why has YHWH 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 they have said, Because that they have forsaken YHWH, God of their fathers, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them, therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.”
