1 Tantara 17
1 Ie amy zao, nimoneñe añ’ anjomba’e ao t’i Davide le nanao ty hoe amy Natane mpitoky t’i Davide: Heheke te mitobok’ añ’ anjomba mendoraven-draho, fe ambane firadoradoañe ao ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà.
Once David had settled into his palace, he spoke to the prophet Nahum. “Look,” he said, “I'm living in a cedar palace while the Ark of the Lord's Agreement is kept in a tent!”
2 Le hoe t’i Natane amy Davide, Ano iaby ze añ’arofo’o ao, fa ama’o t’i Andrianañahare.
“Do what you think you should, for the God is with you,” Nathan replied.
3 Ie amy haleñey le niheo amy Natane ty tsaran’ Añahare nanao ty hoe:
But that night God told Nathan,
4 Akia saontsio amy Davide mpitoroko, Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, Tsy ihe ty hamboatse akiba ho ahy himoneñako;
“Go and talk to my servant David. Tell him, this is what the Lord says, You are not to build a house for me to live in.
5 mboe lia’e tsy nimoneñe añ’anjomba iraho sikal’ amy andro nampionjoneko Israeley ampara’ henane, fe boak’an-kivoho mb’an-kivoho vaho boak’ ami’ty kibohotse mb’ ami’ty ila’e.
I have not lived in a house from the time I led Israel out of Egypt until now. I have lived in tents, moving from place to place.
6 Aa ndra aia’ aia ty niharoako lia amy Israele, teo hao ty tsara nivolañeko amo mpitoki’ Israele nandiliako hiarake ondatikoo, ty hoe: Aa vaho akore te tsy namboara’ areo anjomba mendoraven-draho?
But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’
7 Aa le hoe ty ho saontsie’o amy mpitoroko Davidey, Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, Rinambeko an-jolok’ añondry ao irehe, boak’ am-piarahañ’ añondry ho mpifehe ondatiko Israeleo;
So then, go and tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of my people Israel.
8 le nimpiama’o iraho amy ze nimba’o iaby naho fonga zinevoko aolo’o o rafelahi’oo vaho nanoako tahinañe manahake ondaty jabajaba’ ty tane toio.
I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have struck down all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.
9 Mbore hañorizako toetse ondatiko Israeleo naho hajadoko eo himoneña’ iareo an-toe’ iareo ao, le tsy hasiotse ka; vaho tsy hampiantoe’ o tsivokatseo, manahake te taolo,
I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,
10 sikal’ amy andro nampifeheko o mpizakao ondatiko Israeleoy. Hampiambaneko iaby o rafelahi’oo vaho itaroñako te Iehovà ty hañoreñe anjomba ho azo.
from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.
11 Ie añe naho fa heneke o andro’oo, naho homb’aman-droae’o mb’eo, le hatroako ty tiri’o hanonjohy azo, ty raik’ amo ana’oo; le hajadoko i fifehea’ey.
For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.
12 Ie ty hamboatse anjomba ho Ahy, le horizako ho nainai’e tsy modo i fifeleha’ey.
He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.
13 Ho rae’e Raho, le ho anako re; le tsy hapitsoko ama’e ty fiferenaiñako manahake ty nanintahako aze amy niaolo azoy,
I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of the one who ruled before you.
14 f’ie hampimoneñako añ’ anjombako ao naho am-pifeheako ao nainai’e, le hijadoñe kitro añ’afe’e i fiambesa’ey.
I will put him in charge of my house and my kingdom forever, and his dynasty will last forever.”
15 Aa le hene nisaontsie’ i Natane amy Davide i tsaray naho i aroñaroñey.
This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
16 Nizilik’ ao t’i Davide niambesatse añatrefa’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Ia iraho, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare; ino i kivohokoy t’ie nendese’o mb’etoy?
Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?
17 Te mone kede am-pihaino’o izay, ry Andrianañahare kanao nitsarae’o amy akibam-pitoro’o t’ie ho haehaey, vaho nivazohoe’o hoe t’ie hanahake t’i ondaty añ’abo ao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare.
God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. You also see me as someone very important, Lord God.
18 Ino ka ty hihalalia’ i Davide ty amy engeñe natolo’o amo mpitoro’oo? Fa arofoana’o ty mpitoro’o.
What more can I, David, say to you for honoring me in this way? You know your servant all too well!
19 Ry Iehovà, o mpitoro’oo naho o arofo’oo ty nanoe’o o raha ra’elahy zao, ty nampaharofoanañe o fonga raha fanjaka rezao.
Lord, you're doing all this for me, your servant, and because it's what you want—doing all these amazing things and letting people know about them.
20 Ry Iehovà, tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñe Azo, tsy eo ty ndrahare naho tsy Ihe, ty amy ze he’e jinanjin-tsofi’ay.
Lord, there really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.
21 Le fifeheañe aia an-tane atoy ty manahake ondati’o Israele nijebañen’ Añahare hondati’eo, hampanaña’o tahinañe jabahinake añamo fitoloña’o ra’elahy naho maharevendreveñeo, ie rinoa’o aolo’ ondati’o nijebañe’o amy Mitsraimeio o kilakila’ ondatio?
Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.
22 Le nanoe’o ondati’o nainai’e, ondati’o Israeleo, vaho Ihe ro Andrianañahare’ iareo henane zao, ry Iehovà.
You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
23 Ie amy zao, ry Iehovà, lonik’ abey te hajado’o nainai’e i nitsarae’o amo mpitoro’oo naho i akiba’eiy vaho hanoe’o i tsinara’oy.
So now, Lord, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and lasts forever. Please do as you have promised,
24 Aa le ajadoño naho ampijabahinaho nainai’e donia ty tahina’o, hitsarañe ty hoe: Iehovà’ i Màroy ro Andrianañahare’ Israele naho Andrianañahare am’ Israele; le ehe te hioreñe nainai’e añatrefa’o ty akiba’ i Davide mpitoro’o.
and may your true nature be recognized and honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.
25 Fa Ihe, ry Andrianañahareko, ro nitaroñe amo mpitoro’oo te handranjia’o anjomba; izay ty nahasibeke o mpitoro’oo hihalaly ama’o.
You, my God, have explained to me, your servant, that you will build me a house. That's why your servant has had the courage to pray to you.
26 Toe Ihe, ry Iehovà, ro Andrianañahare vaho nitsarae’o amo mpitoro’oo i hasoa zay;
For you, Lord, are God! You are the one who has promised all these good things to your servant.
27 aa le ninò’o ty hitata i akibam-pitoro’oy, t’ie ho añatrefa’o nainai’e; aa kanao Ihe ro nitata ry Iehovà, le ho soatata nainai’e.
So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For when you bless, Lord, it is blessed forever.”
