2 Samoela 7
1 Ary raha nipetraka tao an-tranony ny mpanjaka, ary efa nampiadanin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fahavalony rehetra manodidina azy izy,
And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,
2 dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Natana mpaminany: Akory izato izaho mitoetra amin’ ny trano sedera, nefa ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra kosa mitoetra ao anaty lay!
He said to Nathan the prophet: Dost thou see that I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God is lodged within skins?
3 Dia hoy Natana tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Andeha, ataovy izay rehetra ao am-ponao; fa Jehovah no momba anao.
And Nathan said to the king: Go, do all that is in thy heart: because the Lord is with thee.
4 Ary tamin’ ny alin’ iny ihany dia tonga tamin’ i Natana ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
But it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:
5 Andeha, lazao amin’ i Davida mpanompoko hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hianao va no hanao trano hitoerako?
Go, and say to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord: Shalt thou build me a house to dwell in?
6 Fa tsy mbola nitoetra an-trano Aho hatramin’ ny nitondrako ny Zanak’ Isiraely niakatra avy tany Egypta ka mandraka androany, fa nifindrafindra toby sy nifindrafindra toerana.
Whereas I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt even to this day: but have walked in a tabernacle, and in a tent.
7 Ary tamin’ izay rehetra nifindrafindrako niaraka tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, moa nisy nitenenako akory va ny firenen’ Isiraely, izay notendreko ho mpiandry ny Isiraely oloko, ka nanaovako hoe: Nahoana no tsy manao trano sedera ho Ahy ianareo?
In all the places that I have gone through with all the children of Israel, did ever I speak a word to any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
8 Koa lazao amin’ i Davida mpanompoko hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Izaho no naka anao avy tany an-tsaha, dia avy tamin’ ny niandrasanao ondry, mba ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely oloko.
And now thus shalt thou speak to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: a I took thee out of the pastures from following the sheep to be ruler over my people Israel:
9 Ary nomba anao tamin’ izay nalehanao rehetra Aho, ka naringako tsy ho eo anoloanao ny fahavalonao rehetra, ary homeko anarana malaza tahaka ny anaran’ izay lehibe ambonin’ ny tany ianao.
And I have been with thee wheresoever thou hast walked, and have slain all thy enemies from before thy face: and I have made thee a great man, like unto the name of the great ones that are on the earth.
10 Ary hifidy tany ho an’ ny Isiraely oloko Aho sady hamponina azy, ka dia handry fahizay amin’ ny fonenany ary tsy hanana ahiahy intsony izy, ary ny zanaky ny faharatsiana tsy hampahory azy intsony tahaka ny taloha
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them, and they shall dwell therein, and shall be disturbed no more: neither shall the children of iniquity afflict them any more as they did before,
11 sy tahaka ny hatramin’ ny nanendreko mpitsara ho mpifehy ny Isiraely oloko; ary hampiadana anao ho afaka amin’ ny fahavalonao rehetra Aho. Ary lazain’ i Jehovah aminao koa fa hanome taranaka ho anao Izy.
From the day that I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give thee rest from all thy enemies. And the Lord foretelleth to thee, that the Lord will make thee a house.
12 Ary rehefa tapitra ny andronao, ka hodi-mandry any amin’ ny razanao ianao, dia hatsangako handimby anao ny zanakao izay haterakao, ary hampitoeriko ny fanjakany;
And when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 dia io no hanao trano ho an’ ny anarako, ary Izaho kosa hampitoetra ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakany ho mandrakizay.
He shall build a house to my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14 Izaho ho rainy, ary izy ho zanako. Raha manao izay meloka izy, dia hanariko amin’ ny tsorakazon’ ny olona sy ny kapoky ny zanak’ olombelona;
I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and if he commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men.
15 nefa ny famindram-poko tsy mba hiala aminy, tahaka ny nanesorako izany tamin’ i Saoly, izay nesoriko teo alohanao.
But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before my face.
16 Ary ny taranakao sy ny fanjakanao hitoetra eo anatrehanao mandrakizay; ny seza fiandriananao hitoetra mandrakizay.
And thy house shall be faithful, and thy kingdom for ever before thy face, and thy throne shall be firm for ever.
17 Araka izany teny rehetra izany sy araka izao fahitana rehetra izao no nolazain’ i Natana tamin’ i Davida.
According to all these words and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
18 Ary Davida mpanjaka niditra ka nipetraka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ary nanao hoe: Zinona moa aho, Jehovah Tompo ô? Ary zinona ny mpianakaviko, no novimbininao ambaraka ankehitriny aho?
And David went in, and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?
19 Ary mbola ataonao ho zavatra kely ihany aza izany, Jehovah Tompo ô, fa, indro, efa voalazanao koa ny amin’ ny taranaky ny mpanomponao hatramin’ ny mbola any aoriana lavitra aza. Ary izany dia fanaon’ ny olona, Jehovah Tompo ô.
But yet this hath seemed little in thy sight, O Lord God, unless thou didst also speak of the house of thy servant for a long time to come: for this is the law of Adam, O Lord God.
20 Ka inona intsony no holazain’ i Davida aminao? Fa Hianao, Jehovah Tompo ô, no mahalala ny mpanomponao.
And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord God:
21 Noho ny teninao sy araka ny sitraponao no nanaovanao io zavatra lehibe rehetra io, hampahalalanao ny mpanomponao.
For thy word’s sake, and according to thy own heart thou hast done all these great things, so that thou wouldst make it known to thy servant.
22 Koa amin’ izany dia lehibe Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitra; fa tsy misy tahaka Anao, ka tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Hianao araka izay rehetra ren’ ny sofinay.
Therefore thou art magnified, O Lord God, because there is none like to thee, neither is there any God besides thee, in all the things that we have heard with our ears.
23 Ary aiza moa no misy firenena etỳ an-tany tahaka ny Isiraely olonao, izay nalehan’ Andriamanitra havotana ho olony, sy hanaovany anarana ho Azy, ary hanaovany zavatra lehibe ho anareo sy zava-mahatahotra ho an’ ny taninao teo anatrehan’ ny olonao, izay navotanao ho Anao avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Egypta sy ny andriamaniny?
And what nation is there upon earth, as thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for them great and terrible things, upon the earth, before the face of thy people, whom thou redeemedst to thyself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods.
24 Dia nampitoerinao ny Isiraely olonao ho olonao mandrakizay: ary Hianao, Jehovah ô, no efa tonga Andriamaniny.
For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be an everlasting people: and thou, O Lord God, art become their God.
25 Ary ankehitriny, Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, ilay teny nolazainao ny amin’ ny mpanomponao sy ny taranany dia ampitoero ho mandrakizay, ary ataovy araka izay nolazainao.
And now, O Lord God, raise up for ever the word that thou hast spoken, concerning thy servant and concerning his house: and do as thou hast spoken,
26 Ary aoka hohalehibiazina mandrakizay ny anaranao ka hatao hoe; Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; ka dia hampitoerina eo anatrehanao ny taranak’ i Davida mpanomponao.
That thy name may be magnified for ever, and it may be said: The Lord of hosts is God over Israel. And the house of thy servant David shall be established before the Lord.
27 Fa Hianao, Jehovah Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, efa nilaza tamin’ ny mpanomponao hoe: Izaho hanome taranaka anao; koa izany no nampahasahy ny fon’ ny mpanomponao hanao izao vavaka izao aminao.
Because thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, saying: I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee.
28 Ary noho izany, Jehovah Tompo ô, satria Hianao no Andriamanitra, ary marina ny teninao, ary Hianao efa nilaza izany zava-tsoa izany ny amin’ ny mpanomponao,
And now, O Lord God, thou art God, and thy words shall be true: for thou hast spoken to thy servant these good things.
29 dia aoka ho sitrakao ny hitahy ny taranaky ny mpanomponao haharitra mandrakizay eo anatrehanao; fa Hianao, Jehovah Tompo ô, efa niteny izany; eny, aoka ny fitahianao no hitahianao ny taranaky ny mpanomponao mandrakizay.
And now begin, and bless the house of thy servant, that it may endure for ever before thee: because thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it, and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
