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.
After David began to live in his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It does not seem right that] I am here living in a palace made of cedar [wood], but Yahweh’s Sacred Chest is kept inside a tent!”
2 Le hoe t’i Natane amy Davide, Ano iaby ze añ’arofo’o ao, fa ama’o t’i Andrianañahare.
Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you are thinking about doing, do it, because God is with/guiding you.”
3 Ie amy haleñey le niheo amy Natane ty tsaran’ Añahare nanao ty hoe:
But that night God spoke [MTY] to Nathan. He said,
4 Akia saontsio amy Davide mpitoroko, Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, Tsy ihe ty hamboatse akiba ho ahy himoneñako;
“Go and tell my servant David that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one who should build a temple 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 any building, from the day that I brought the people of Israel up [out of Egypt] until now. Instead, I have [lived in a tent], moving from one place to another with [the Israelis] when they moved to other places [DOU].
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?
Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never [RHQ] said to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead [MET] them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
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;
Therefore, this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘I, the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and I appointed you] to be the ruler of my Israeli people.
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/helped) you wherever you have gone, and I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. And now I will cause you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the 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,
Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed them. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give not allow them to [be attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
10 sikal’ amy andro nampifeheko o mpizakao ondatiko Israeleoy. Hampiambaneko iaby o rafelahi’oo vaho itaroñako te Iehovà ty hañoreñe anjomba ho azo.
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.
When your life ends [EUP], and you [die and] go to be with your ancestors [who have died], I will appoint one of your sons to become king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
12 Ie ty hamboatse anjomba ho Ahy, le horizako ho nainai’e tsy modo i fifeleha’ey.
He is the one who will [arrange for] a temple to be built for me. And I will enable his descendants to be kings [MTY] of Israel 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 [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me. I stopped loving [Saul, ] the one who was the king before you became king, but I will never stop loving your son.
14 f’ie hampimoneñako añ’ anjombako ao naho am-pifeheako ao nainai’e, le hijadoñe kitro añ’afe’e i fiambesa’ey.
I will cause him to rule over my people [MTY], and his kingdom will endure forever [DOU].’”
15 Aa le hene nisaontsie’ i Natane amy Davide i tsaray naho i aroñaroñey.
So Nathan reported to David everything that Yahweh had revealed to him.
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 David went [into the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh my God, I am certainly not [RHQ] worthy for you to have done all these things for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
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.
“And O God, now, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations. Yahweh my God, you have acted toward me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
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]? Although you know very well what I am like,
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.
Yahweh, for my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done these great things [for me], and you have revealed to me these things [that you are promising to do].
20 Ry Iehovà, tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñe Azo, tsy eo ty ndrahare naho tsy Ihe, ty amy ze he’e jinanjin-tsofi’ay.
“Yahweh, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, which is what we have always heard.
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?
And there is no nation in the world like Israel [RHQ]. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you rescued. You performed great and awesome miracles, rescuing our ancestors from [being slaves in] Egypt, and expelling the people of other people-groups [who were in Canaan].
22 Le nanoe’o ondati’o nainai’e, ondati’o Israeleo, vaho Ihe ro Andrianañahare’ iareo henane zao, ry Iehovà.
You have caused us your Israeli people to belong to you forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our 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.
“And now Yahweh, I pray that you will cause the things that you have promised to do for me and my descendants [MTY] to be fulfilled forever.
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.
When that happens, you [MTY] will be famous forever. And people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, is the God who rules Israel!’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants [MTY] of mine who will rule.
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 revealed to me that you will cause [some of] my descendants to become kings. So I am brave enough to pray like this to you.
26 Toe Ihe, ry Iehovà, ro Andrianañahare vaho nitsarae’o amo mpitoro’oo i hasoa zay;
Yahweh, you are God! You have promised to do these good things for me.
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.
And now you, Yahweh, have [promised to] bless my descendants [MTY], in order that they will continue to rule forever. That will happen because you, Yahweh, are the one who has blessed them, and you will keep blessing them forever.”
