2 Tantara 8
1 Ary nony afaka ny roa-polo taona naonaovan’ i Solomona ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny lapan’ ny tenany,
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
2 dia namboariny ny tanàna izay nomen’ i Hirama azy ka namponenany ny Zanak’ isiraely.
Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
3 Ary Solomona nankany Hamata-zoba ka naharesy azy.
Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4 Ary nanorina an’ i Tadmora tany an-efitra sy ny tanana fitehirizana rehetra izay nataony tany Hamata izy.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
5 Ary namboariny koa Beti-horona ambony sy Beti-horona ambany, tanàna mafy misy manda sy vavahady mihidy,
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
6 ary Baleta sy ny tanàna fitehirizana rehetra izay an’ i Solomona sy ny tanàna rehetra fitoeran-kalesy sy ny tanàna fitoeran’ ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly ary izay rehetra tian’ i Solomona haorina tany Jerosalema sy tany Libanona ary tany amin’ ny tany nanjakany rehetra.
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
7 Ary ny amin’ ny olona sisa rehetra tamin’ ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita, izay tsy isan’ ny Isiraely
As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
8 dia ny taranany izay sisa nandimby azy teo amin’ ny taniny, fa tsy naringan’ ny Isiraely, no nampanaovin’ i Solomona fanompoana mandraka androany.
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9 Fa ny Zanak’ isiraely dia tsy mba nampanaovin’ i Solomona izany, fa ireo kosa no miaramila sy komandin’ ny mpanafika malaza ary komandin’ ny kalesiny sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
10 Ary izao no mpifehy ny olona voatendrin’ i Solomona mpanjaka, dia dimam-polo amby roan-jato izay nanapaka ny olona.
They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
11 Ary Solomona nitondra ny zanakavavin’ i Farao niakatra avy tany an-Tanànan’ i Davida ho ao amin’ ny trano izay nataony ho azy, fa hoy izy: Ny vadiko tsy mahazo mitoetra ao an-tranon’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, fa masìna izay efa nidiran’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah.
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
12 Ary tamin’ izany Solomona nanatitra fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah teo ambonin’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah, izay naoriny teo anoloan’ ny lavarangana fidirana;
At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
13 eny, nanatitra izay fanao isanandro izy araka ny didin’ i Mosesy dia tamin’ ny Sabata sy ny voaloham-bolana ary ny fotoam-pivavahana intelo isan-taona, dia tamin’ ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana mofo tsy misy masirasira sy ny andro firavoravoana manarakaraka ireo herinandro ary ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo.
He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
14 Ary notendreny koa ny antokon’ ny mpisorona araka ny nandaharan’ i Davida rainy azy ho amin’ ny fanompoany avy ary ny Levita ho amin’ ny anjara-raharahany koa, dia ny hidera sy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana eo anoloan’ ny mpisorona araka ny raharaha fanao isan’ andro, ary ny mpiandry varavarana araka ny antokony amin’ ny isam-bavahady; fa izany no nandidian’ i Davida lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, azy.
In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
15 Ary tsy nialan’ ireo ny didin’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita na amin’ inona na amin’ inona, indrindra fa ny amin’ ny rakitra.
They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
16 Toy izany no nanamboaran’ i Solomona ny asa rehetra nataony hatramin’ ny andro nanorenany ny tranon’ i Jehovah ka ambara-pahavitany; ka dia vita tsara ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
17 Ary tamin’ izay Solomona dia nankany Ezion-gebera sy Elota eo amoron’ ny ranomasina any amin’ ny tany Edoma,
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
18 ary ny mpanompon’ i Hirama dia nampandehaniny hitondra sambo sy mpanompo izay mahay ranomasina; ary niara-nandeha tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Solomona ho any Ofira ireo ka nahazo talenta volamena dimam-polo amby efa-jato tany izy, dia nentiny tany amin’ i Solomona mpanjaka izany.
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
