1 Mpanjaka 8

1 Natonto’ i Selomò amy zao o androanavi’ Israeleo, naho o mpiaolom-pifokoañeo, o roandrian’ anjomban-droaen’ ana’ Israeleo, mb’amy Selomò Mpanjaka e Ierosalaimey, hampionjoneñe i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày boak’ an-drova’ i Davide e Tsione ao.

Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to him in Jerusalem to take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

2 Aa le fonga nifanontoñe amy Selomò amy sabadidakey o nte Israeleo ami’ty saramañitse, ty volam-pahafito.

And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, the seventh month.

3 Nimb’eo o roandria’ Israele iabio, vaho rinambe’ o mpisoroñeo i vatay.

And all the responsible men of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

4 Nampionjone’ iereo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày naho i kibohom-pamantañañey naho ze hene fanake amy kibohotsey; nampionjone’ o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio.

They took up the ark of the Lord, and the Tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests and the Levites took up.

5 Niharo niaolo i vatay t’i Se­lomò mpanjaka naho i valobohò’ Israele nifamory ama’ey, le nisoroñe añondry naho añombe tsy nilefe talily ndra iake ami’ty fifamorohota’e.

And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there, were with him before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

6 Le nendese’ o mpisoroñeo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày mb’an-toe’e, mb’an-toe-miava’ i anjombay, mb’amy masiñe do’ey, ambane’ o ela’ i kerobe reio.

And the priests took the ark of the agreement of the Lord and put it in its place in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

7 Fa nivelare’ i kerobe rey ambone’ i toe’ i vataiy o ela’eo vaho tinako’ i kerobe rey i vatay naho o baom-pitarazoa’eo.

For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

8 Aa akore ty halava’ i baom-pitarazoañe rey kanao isake amy toe-miavakey aolo’ i toe-masiñey, f’ie tsy oniñe boak’ alafe’e ao; mbe eo irezay henanekeo.

The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place, in front of the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside: and there they are to this day.

9 Vata koake re naho tsy i takelam-bato nagodo’ i Mosè ao e Korebe añe rey, ie nifañina amo ana’ Israeleo t’Iehovà, t’ie niavotse an-tane Mitsraime.

There was nothing in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10 Aa ie nivovotse boak’ amy miavakey o mpisoroñeo, le nañatseke i anjomba’ Iehovày i rahoñey;

Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, the house of the Lord was full of the cloud,

11 vaho tsy nahafijohañe eo hitoroñe o mpisoroñeo amy te na­tsafe’ ty enge’ Iehovà ty anjomba’ Iehovà.

So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud, for the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord.

12 Aa le hoe t’i Selomò: Fa nitsarae’ Iehovà t’ie himoneñe an-drahoñe milodolodo ao.

Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men;

13 Toe namboarako anjomba fimoneñan-dRehe, toetse himoneña’o nainai’e donia.

So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.

14 Nampitoli-daharañe am’ izao i mpanjakay, nitata i valobohò’ Israeley, vaho hene niongake i valobohò’ Israeley.

Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.

15 Le hoe re: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, ie ni­tsara am-palie amy Davide raeko vaho nifonire’e am-pità’e ami’ ty hoe:

And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to David my father, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

16 Sikal’ amy andro nampiavoteko amy Mitsraime ondatiko Israeleoy, le tsy eo ty rova nijoboñeko amo hene fifokoa’ Israeleo hañamboarako anjomba, hampipohako ty añarako, naho tsy i Davide ty jinoboko hifehe ondatiko Israeleo.

From the day when I took my people Israel out of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; but I made selection of David to be king over my people Israel.

17 Toe tañ’ arofo’ i Davide raeko ty hamboatse anjomba ho a i tahina’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ Israeley.

Now it was in the heart of David my father to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

18 Fe nanao ty hoe amy Davide raekoy t’Iehovà: Amy te añ’ arofo’o ty handranjy akiba ho ami’ty añarako, le nanao soa kanao tañ’arofo’o;

But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name;

19 fe tsy ihe ty hamboatse i anjombay, fa i ana-dahy hiboak’ an-tro’oy, ie ty handranjy ty anjomba ho ami’ty añarako.

But you yourself will not be the builder of my house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

20 Fa najado’ Iehovà i tsara nanoe’ey amy te nitroatse an-toe’ i Davide raeko iraho naho mitobok’ am-piambesa’ Israele eo ty amy tsara’ Iehovà, vaho namonitse ty anjomba ho a i tahina’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ Israeley.

And the Lord has made his word come true; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

21 Le nampitoereko ao i vatay, ama’e ao i fañina’ Iehovà nanoe’e an-droaentika am-pampi­engae’e iereo an-tane Mitsraimeiy.

In it I have made a place for the ark, in which is the agreement which the Lord made with our fathers, when he took them out of the land of Egypt.

22 Le nijohañe aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovày t’i Selomò añatrefa’ i valobohò’ Israeley, vaho nonjone’e mb’an-dikerañe ey o fità’eo,

Then Solomon took his place before the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present, and stretching out his hands to heaven,

23 nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, tsy eo t’i Andrianañahare manahak’ azo andin­dimoneñe añe ndra an-tane ambane atoy ze mahatambozòtse fañina naho ty fiferenaiñañe amo mpitoro’o mpañavelo añatrefa’o an-kaampon-trokeo;

Said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts.

24 ie naha-tañe i tsinara’o am-pitoro’o Davide raekoy; toe tsinara’o am-palie vaho nihenefa’o am-pitàñe o isake henanekeo.

And you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

25 Ie amy zao, ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, afaharo amy mpitoro’o Davide raekoy, i tsinara’o ama’ey ami’ty hoe: Tsy ho po-ondaty hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ Israeley am-pahatreavako irehe, naho toe ambena’ o ana’oo ty lala’ iareo hañavelo añatrefako manahake o fañaveloa’oo.

So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel before me, if only your children give attention to their ways, walking before me as you have done.

26 Ie amy zao ry Andria­nañahare’ Israele, ehe te ho venteseñe i tsara tsinara’o amy mpitoro’o Davide raekoiy.

So now, O God of Israel, it is my prayer that you will make your word come true which you said to your servant David, my father.

27 Aa vaho himoneñe an-tane atoy vata’e hao t’i Andrianañahare? kanao tsy mahatañ’ Azo i likerañey ndra i like­ran-dindimoneñey; sandrake ty anjomba rinanjiko toy!

But is it truly possible that God may be housed on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place; how much less this house which I have made!

28 Fa ehe haoño ty halali’ i mpitoro’oy, naho i fiambanea’ey ry Iehovà Andriana­ñahareko, janjiño ty toreo naho hàtake saboe’ ty mpitoro’o ama’o henaneo;

Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant, O Lord God, and to his prayer for grace; give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant sends up to you this day;

29 te hisokake handro an-kàleñe mb’ ami’ty anjomba toy o fihaino’oo, mb’ amy toetse nitsarae’o ty hoe: Ho ao ty añarako; hahajanjiña’o o halaly ho halalie’ ty mpitoro’o mb’ ami’ ty toetse toio.

That your eyes may be open to this house night and day, to this place of which you have said, My name will be there; hearing the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

30 Janjiño ty fidrakadrakafam-pitoro’o, naho ondati’o Israeleo, ie misabo mb’ami’ty toetse toy; janjiño am-pimoneña’o andindiñe ao; mijanjiña vaho mañahà.

Give ear to the prayers of your servant, and the prayers of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear in heaven your living-place, and hearing, have mercy.

31 Naho anañan-drañetse hakeo t’indaty, naho ampititihen-dre, ie mb’eo mifanta añatrefa’ ty kitreli’o añ’anjomba atoy;

If a man does wrong to his neighbour, and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

32 le mijanjiña andin­dimoneñe ao, naho mitoloña, vaho zakao o mpitoro’oo, taroño amy ratiy t’ie raty, hampibalike o hatsivokara’eo añ’ ambone’eo; naho meo tò ty vantañe, hañolo­rañe aze mañeva i fahiti’ey.

Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving your decision against the wrongdoer, so that punishment for his sins may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.

33 Aa ie zevoeñe aolon-drafe­lahy ondati’o Israeleo, t’ie aman-tahiñe ama’o; naho mimpoly ama’o naho mamela-pitàn-droe amy tahina’oy, naho misoloho vaho mihalaly ama’o ami’ty anjomba toy,

When your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers to you and requesting your grace in this house:

34 le mijanjiña andindimoneñe ao, naho hahao o hakeo’ ondati’o Isra­eleoo vaho ampolio mb’an-tane’ natolo’o an-droae’ iareo mb’atoy.

Then give ear in heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again into the land which you gave to their fathers.

35 Ie migabeñe i likerañey, tsy avy i orañey kanao nandilatse ama’o iereo, le ie misoloho mb’ami’ty toetse toy mamela-pitan-droe amy tahina’oy naho miamboho amy hakeo nampisotria’o iareoy,

When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

36 le mijanjiña andikerañe ao, naho apoho ty tahi’ o mpitoro’oo naho ondati’o Israeleo vaho anaro iareo i lalam-bantañe fañaveloañey, ham­pahavia’o orañe i tane’o na­tolo’o am’ondati’oo ho lovay.

Then give ear in heaven, so that the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

37 Naho kerè i taney, he angorosy ke pozy he tromambo ke valala he beañe, ke forokeken-drafelahi’e o rova an-tane’eo; ke kiria ino, hera areteñ’ ino;

If there is no food in the land, or if there is disease, or if the fruits of the earth are damaged through heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers; whatever trouble, whatever disease there may be:

38 le ze halaly ndra soloho anoe’ t’indaty ndra ze hene ondati’o Israeleo, ie songa fohi’e ty hìla an-tro’e ao vaho mamela-pitan-droe mb’ami’ty anjomba toy,

Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

39 le mijanjiña andin­diñe añe, amy akiba-pimoneña’oy, le apoho naho mitoloña, vaho sindre toloro ty amo sata’eo t’indaty, fa arofoana’o ty tro’e (amy te Ihe avao ro maharofoanañe ty arofo’ o ana’ ondatio),

Give ear in heaven your living-place, acting in mercy; and give to every man whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of all the children of men:

40 hañeveña’ iereo ama’o amo hene andro hiveloma’ iareo an-tane natolo’o aman-droae’aio.

So that they may give you worship all the days of their life in the land which you gave to our fathers.

41 Le i renetane tsy boak’ am’ ondati’o Israeleoy, ie hirike tsietoitane añe ty amy tahina’oy —

And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel; when he comes from a far country because of the glory of your name:

42 kanao ho janjiñe’e i ta­hina’o ra’e­lahiy naho i fità’o maozatsey vaho i fità’o natora­kitsi’oy— ie miheo mb’ etoa hitalaho mb’ami’ty anjomba toy;

(For they will have news of your great name and your strong hand and your out-stretched arm; ) when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

43 le mijanjiña andindimoneñe an-toe-pimoneña’o ao, naho henefo o kanjia’ i renetaney azoo; hahafohina’ ze kila’ ondati’ ty tane toy ty tahina’o, hañeveñe ama’o, manahake ondati’o Israeleo, hahafohina’ iareo te kanjieñe ami’ty anjomba niranjieko toy i tahina’oy.

Give ear in heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and that they may see that this house which I have put up is truly named by your name.

44 Aa ie mionjomb’ an-kotakotak’ amo rafelahi’eo ondati’oo, ndra mb’ aia aia ty hañiraha’o iareo, vaho mihalaly am’ Iehovà mb’amy rova nijoboñe’oy, mb’ amy anjomba namboareko ho amy tahina’oiy;

If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayer to the Lord, turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have made for your name:

45 le janjiño an-dikerañe ao i sabo’ iareoy, naho i halali’ iareoy vaho meo to.

Give ear in heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.

46 Ie miota ama’o—amy te tsy eo ze ondaty tsy mandilatse zao—le iviñera’o vaho atolo’o an-dra­felahi’ iareo, hasese an-drohy mb’an-tanen-drafelahy añe, ke te lavitse he marine;

If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin, ) and you are angry with them and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away as prisoners into a strange land, far off or near;

47 le ie mitsa­kore an-tane naneseañe iareo an-drohy añe, naho mitolike naho midrakadrakak’ ama’o an-tane’ o naneseañe iareo an-drohio, manao ty hoe: Nanao hakeo zahay, nanao hatsi­vokarañe, vaho nitolon-karatiañe;

And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, and are turned again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;

48 ie mimpoly ama’o an’ kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova an-tanen-drafelahi’ o nanese iareo an-drohio, naho mitalaho ama’o mb’an-tane natolo’o aman-droae’ iareo, mb’androva jinobo’o toy; vaho mb’amy anjomba niranjieko ho amy tahina’oiy;

And with all their heart and soul are turned again to you, in the land of those who took them prisoners, and make their prayer to you, turning their eyes to this land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I made for your name:

49 le janjiño ty halali’ iareo naho ty fisa­boa’ iareo mb’ an-toe-pimoneña’o andindimoneñe añe, vaho meo to;

Then give ear to their prayer and to their cry in heaven your living-place, and see right done to them;

50 naho apoho o hakeo nandilara’ ondati’o ama’oo, naho o fiolàñe niolà’ iareo; le iferenaiño añatrefa’ o ninday iareo an-drohy mb’eo hitre­treza’ iareo;

Answering with forgiveness the people who have done wrong against you, and overlooking the evil which they have done against you; let those who made them prisoners be moved with pity for them, and have pity on them;

51 amy t’ie ondati’o, i lova’o na­kare’o amy Mitsraime, boak’ añivo i toñake viñey.

For they are your people and your heritage, which you took out of Egypt, out of the iron fireplace;

52 Ehe manokafa fihai­no amo hala­lim-pitoro’oo naho ami’ty fisolohoa’ on­dati’o Israeleo, hi­ha­oña’o ndra mbia’ mbia ty itoreova’ iareo.

Let your eyes be open to your servant's prayer for grace and to the prayer of your people Israel, hearing them when their cry comes to you.

53 Amy t’ie navahe’o amo hene ondati’ ty tane toio, ho lova’o, amy nitsarae’o am-pità’ i Mosè mpitoro’oy, ie nampi­avote’o amy Mitsraime o roae’aio, ry Talè Iehovà.

For you made them separate from all the peoples of the earth, to be your heritage, as you said by Moses your servant, when you took our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

54 Ie nagado’ i Selomò ty nitaroñe’e i hene halaly naho soloho am’ Iehovà rezay le niongak’ aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovày, amy niton­galefa’e naho namelatse fi­tañe mb’an-dindim-b’eoy,

Then Solomon, after making all these prayers and requests for grace to the Lord, got up from his knees before the altar of the Lord, where his hands had been stretched out in prayer to heaven;

55 le nijohañe vaho nitata i hene valobohò’ Israele am-pazake ty hoe:

And, getting on his feet, he gave a blessing to all the men of Israel, saying with a loud voice,

56 Andriañeñe t’Iehovà nanolo-pitofàñe am’ondati’eo ty amo tsara’e iabio; leo raike tsy nipok’ amo tsara’e soa nampitama’e am-pità’ i Mose mpitoro’eo.

Praise be to the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, as he gave them his word to do; every word of all his oath, which he gave by the hand of Moses his servant, has come true.

57 Ho aman-tika t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika, manahake t’ie nimpiaman-droaen-tikañe; lonike t’ie tsy hienga antika, tsy haforintse’e;

Now may the Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him never go away from us or give us up;

58 fa hampitoliha’e mb’ama’e o arofon-tikañeo, hañaveloan-tika amo lala’eo, hañorike o lili’eo naho o fañè’eo vaho o fepètse linili’e an-droaen-tikañeo.

Turning our hearts to himself, guiding us to go in all his ways, to keep his orders and his laws and his decisions, which he gave to our fathers.

59 Le ehe te harine’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika handro an-kaleñe o entañe nihalalieko am’ Iehovào, hañomea’e to i mpitoro’ey naho ondati’e Israeleo, ami’ty fañeva’e boak’ andro;

And may these my words, the words of my prayer to the Lord, be before the Lord our God day and night, so that he may see right done to his servant and to his people Israel, day by day as we have need.

60 hahafohina’ ze hene ondati’ ty tane toy t’Iehovà, t’ie ro Andrianañahare tsy aman-tovo’e.

So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the Lord is God, and there is no other.

61 Ee abey te ho am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika an-kaliforan’ arofo nahareo, hañavelo amo fañè’eo, naho hañori­ke o lili’eo, manahake henaneo.

Then let your hearts be without sin before the Lord our God, walking in his laws and keeping his orders as at this day.

62 Le fonga nañenga soroñe añatrefa’ Iehovà eo i mpanjakay naho Israele ni­trao­k’ ama’e.

Now the king, and all Israel with him, were making offerings before the Lord.

63 Bi­nanabana’ i Selomò amy engam-panintsiñañe nisoroña’e am’ Iehovày ty añombe roe-ale-tsi-ro’ arivo, naho añondry rai-hetse-tsi-ro’ale. Izay ty nañoriza’ i mpanjakay naho o ana’ Israeleo ty anjomba’ Iehovà.

And Solomon gave to the Lord for peace-offerings, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel kept the feast of the opening of the Lord's house.

64 Amy àndroy ka ty nañoriza’ i mpanjakay ty añivo’ i kiririsa aolo’ i anjomba’ Iehovày; fa teo ty nañenga’e o soroñeo, naho o enga-mahakamao, naho ty safo’ o engam-panintsiñañeo; amy te ni-loho kede ty kitrely torisike añatrefa’ Iehovà, tsy ho ni-tsahatse aze i nisoroñañe naho i enga-mahakama vaho safo’ o engam-panintsiñañeo rezay.

The same day the king made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering there the burned offering and the meal offering and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar of the Lord for the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings.

65 Aa le nambena’ i Selo­mò miharo am’ Israele iaby henane zay i sabadidakey, nivalobohòke jabajaba boak’ am-pimoahañe e Kamate, pak’ an-toraha’ i Mitsraime añe añ’atrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tikañe, fito andro nitovoñañe fito; andro folo-efats’ amby.

So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt, ) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.

66 Nampolie’e amy andro fahavaloy ondatio, naho nandriañe’ iareo i mpanjakay naho songa noly mb’an-kiboho’e mb’eo an-drebeke naho añ’ arofo mifale ty amo hene hasoa nanoe’ Iehovà amy Davide mpitoro’ey vaho am’ Israele ondati’eo.

And on the eighth day he sent the people away, and, blessing the king, they went to their tents full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David his servant and to Israel his people.
