2 Tantara 8
1 Ary nony afaka ny roa-polo taona naonaovan’ i Solomona ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny lapan’ ny tenany,
It came about at the end of twenty years, during which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh and his own house,
2 dia namboariny ny tanàna izay nomen’ i Hirama azy ka namponenany ny Zanak’ isiraely.
that Solomon rebuilt the towns that Hiram had given to him, and he settled the people of Israel in them.
3 Ary Solomona nankany Hamata-zoba ka naharesy azy.
Solomon attacked Hamathzobah and defeated 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, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
5 Ary namboariny koa Beti-horona ambony sy Beti-horona ambany, tanàna mafy misy manda sy vavahady mihidy,
Also he built Beth Horon the Upper and Beth Horon the Lower, cities fortified 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.
He built Baalath and all the store cities that he possessed, and all the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever he wished to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the lands 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 people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who did not belong to 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 descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed—Solomon made them into forced laborers, which 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
However, Solomon made no forced laborers of the people of Israel. Instead, they became his soldiers, his commanders, his officers, and commanders of his chariot forces and his horsemen.
10 Ary izao no mpifehy ny olona voatendrin’ i Solomona mpanjaka, dia dimam-polo amby roan-jato izay nanapaka ny olona.
These were also the chief officers managing the supervisors who belonged to King Solomon, 250 of them, who supervised the people who did the work.
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 out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because wherever the ark of Yahweh has come is 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 offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on his altar that 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 offered sacrifices just as the daily schedule required; he offered them, following the directions found in the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbath days, the new moons, and on the set festivals three times every year: the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
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 decrees of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests to their work, and the Levites to their positions, in order to praise God and to serve before the priests, as the daily schedule required. He also appointed the gatekeepers by their divisions to every gate, for David, the man of God, had also commanded this.
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.
These people did not deviate from the commands of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the storerooms.
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.
All the work ordered by Solomon was completed, from the day the foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid until it was finished. The house of Yahweh 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 then to Elath on the coast, 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.
Hiram sent him ships commanded by his own officers, men who knew the sea, and with the servants of Solomon they went to Ophir and they took from there 450 talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.
