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.
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and sacrifices, and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
2 Ary ny mpisorona tsy nahazo niditra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, satria feno ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ny tranony.
The priests could not enter the house of Yahweh, because his glory filled his 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.
When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of Yahweh over the house, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the stone pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Yahweh. They said, “For he is good, for his covenant loyalty endures forever.”
4 Ary ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
So the king and all the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
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.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep and goats. 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.
The priests stood, each standing where they serve; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh in the song, “For his covenant faithfulness endures for ever.” All the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
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.
Solomon set apart the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of Yahweh. There he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar that he had made was not able to hold the burnt offerings, the grain 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.
So Solomon held the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo 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.
On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for they kept the dedication of the altar for seven days, and the feast 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.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes with glad and joyful hearts because of the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, Solomon, and 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.
Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh and his own house. Everything that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he successfully carried out.
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.
Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as 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,
Suppose that I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send disease 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.
then if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, 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 will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers that are made in 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.
For I have now chosen and set apart this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there every day.
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,
As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
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 will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I said in a covenant with David your father, when I said, 'A descendant of yours will never fail to be ruler 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 turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have placed before you, and if you go worship other gods and bow down 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.
then I will uproot them from out of my ground that I have given them. This house that I have set apart for my name, I will cast away from before me, and I will make it a proverb and a joke 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?
Even though this temple is so lofty now, everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this 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.
Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on them.'”
