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 twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,
2 dia namboariny ny tanàna izay nomen’ i Hirama azy ka namponenany ny Zanak’ isiraely.
He took in hand the building up of the towns which Huram had given him, causing the children of Israel to make living-places for themselves there.
3 Ary Solomona nankany Hamata-zoba ka naharesy azy.
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.
4 Ary nanorina an’ i Tadmora tany an-efitra sy ny tanana fitehirizana rehetra izay nataony tany Hamata izy.
And he put up the buildings of Tadmor in the waste land, and of all the store-towns in Hamath;
5 Ary namboariny koa Beti-horona ambony sy Beti-horona ambany, tanàna mafy misy manda sy vavahady mihidy,
And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;
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.
And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.
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 rest of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel:
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 men who were still living in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not put an end to, these Solomon put to forced work, as is done 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 make use of the children of Israel as servants for his work; they were men of war, his chiefs and his captains, and captains of his war-carriages and his horsemen.
10 Ary izao no mpifehy ny olona voatendrin’ i Solomona mpanjaka, dia dimam-polo amby roan-jato izay nanapaka ny olona.
Now these were the chief men in authority whom King Solomon had: two hundred and fifty of them, in authority over the people.
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.
Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come 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;
Then Solomon made burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had put up in front of the covered way,
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.
Offering every day what had been ordered by Moses, on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and at the regular feasts three times a year, that is at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents.
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.
And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places in turn at every door; for so David, the man of God, had given orders.
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.
All the orders given by the king to the priests and Levites, in connection with any business or stores, were done with care.
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.
And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.
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 by the sea in the land 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.
And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon.
