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 doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto king Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David — it [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 are assembled unto king Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival — [is] the seventh month.

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

And all the elders of Israel come in, and the priests lift 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.

and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, yea, the priests and the Levites bring them 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 company of Israel who are met unto him [are] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered for multitude.

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 bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;

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 the cherubs are spreading forth two wings unto the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves from above;

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.

and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen without, and they are there unto 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 is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.

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

And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,

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

and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.

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

Then said Solomon, 'Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;

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

I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.'

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

And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.

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 saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath fulfilled [it], 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 that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

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

'And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, 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;

and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;

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.

only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the 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 Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, 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.

and set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from 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,

And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his hands towards the heavens,

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;

and saith, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee with all their heart,

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.

who hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him; yea, Thou speakest with Thy mouth, and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as [at] 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.

'And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel — only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.

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

'And now, O God of Israel, let it be established, I pray Thee, Thy word which Thou hast spoken to Thy 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 true? — God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!

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;

'Then thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer which Thy servant is praying before Thee to-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.

for Thine eyes being open towards this house night and day, towards the place of which Thou hast said, My Name is there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth towards 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.

'Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in the heavens — and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven,

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

that which a man sinneth against his neighbour, and he hath lifted up upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath come in before Thine altar 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 Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

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,

'In Thy people Israel being smitten before an enemy, because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back unto Thee, and have confessed Thy name, and prayed, and made supplication unto Thee 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 thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy people Israel, and brought them back unto the ground that Thou gavest 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,

'In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards this place, and confessed Thy name, and from their sin turn back, for Thou dost afflict 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 Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for inheritance.

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;

'Famine — when it is in the land; pestilence — when it is; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar — when it is; when its enemy hath distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any plague, any sickness, —

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,

any prayer, any supplication that [is] of any man of all Thy people Israel, who know each the plague of his own heart, and hath spread his hands towards 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),

then Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast done, and hast given to each according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest, (for Thou hast known — Thyself alone — the heart of all the sons of man),

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

so that they fear Thee all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast given to our fathers.

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

'And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name's sake —

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 hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) — and he hath come in and prayed towards 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.

Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.

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;

'When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of the house which I have builded for Thy name;

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

then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause.

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;

'When they sin against Thee (for there is not a man who sinneth not), and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity unto the land of the enemy 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 they have turned [it] back unto their heart in the land whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication unto Thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely — we have done wickedly;

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;

yea, they have turned back unto Thee, with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed unto Thee the way of their land, which Thou gavest to their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have builded for Thy name:

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

'Then Thou hast heard in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause,

and hast forgiven Thy people who have sinned against Thee, even all their transgressions which they have transgressed against Thee, and hast given them mercies before their captors, and they have had mercy [on] them —

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

(for Thy people and Thy inheritance [are] they, whom Thou didst bring out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron) —

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

for Thine eyes being open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee for;

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 Thou hast separated them to Thyself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as Thou didst speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, in Thy bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.'

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,

And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to pray unto Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and his hands spread out to the heavens,

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

and he standeth and blesseth all the assembly of Israel [with] a loud voice, saying,

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.

'Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the hand of Moses his servant.

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

'Jehovah our God is with us as He hath been with our fathers; He doth not forsake us nor leave us;

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.

to incline our heart unto Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments, which He commanded 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 these my words with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, are near unto Jehovah our God by day and by night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day;

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

for all the peoples of the earth knowing that Jehovah, He [is] God; there is none else;

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

and your heart hath been perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, as [at] this day.'

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

And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah;

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 sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah.

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.

On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah [is] too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, 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.

And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival — and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt — before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; 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.

On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
