1 Le hoe t’i Selomò: Fa nafè’ Iehovà t’ie ho nimoneñe añ’ ieñe mingeo ao.
Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud;
2 Fe nandranjieko anjombam-pimoneñan-dRehe, toetse hitobea’o nainai’e.
and I have built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”
3 Nampitoli-daharañe amy zao i mpanjakay naho nitata i valobohò’ Israele iabiy, ie fonga nijohañe eo i fivoribei’ Israeley.
And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
4 Le hoe re: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele nitsara am-palie amy Davide raeko vaho nihenefem-pità’e, ami’ty hoe:
and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
5 Sikal’ amy andro nampiavotako an-tane Mits­raime añe ondatikooy, tsy eo ty rova jinoboko amo fifokoa’ Israeleo hañamboarako anjomba, te ho ao ty añarako; vaho tsy ia t’indaty jinoboko ho mpifehe’ ondatiko Israeleo
‘Since the day I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over My people Israel.
6 naho tsy e Ierosalaime ao ty jinoboko hanoako ty añarako naho tsy i Davide ty jinoboko hifelek’ ondatiko Israeleo.
But now I have chosen Jerusalem for My Name to be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
7 Ie amy zao tañ’ arofo’ i Davide raeko t’ie hamboatse anjomba ho amy tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
8 Fe hoe t’Iehovà aman-Davide raeko: Ndra te añ’ arofo’o ty handranjy anjomba ho ami’ty añarako toe nanoe’o soa t’ie tami’ty tañ’ arofo’o;
But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
9 tsy ihe ty hamboatse i anjombay, fa hamboare’ i ana’o hiboak’ am-bania’oy, ty akiba ho ami’ty añarako.
Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
10 Aa le najado’ Iehovà i tsara’ tsinara’ey; izaho ty nitroatse amy toe’ i Davide raekoy, le fa mitobok’ am-piambesa’ Israele, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày vaho fa nandranjiako anjomba ho ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele.
Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
11 Le fa napoko ao i vata amam-pañina nifanoa’ Iehovà amo ana’ Israeleoy.
And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with the children of Israel.”
12 Aa le nijohañe aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovà añatrefa’ i valobohò’ Israele iabiy re namelatse o fità’eo—
Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
13 Toe fa nandranjy rairay torisike t’i Selomò, kiho lime ty andava’e, kiho lime ty ampohe’e naho kiho telo ty haabo’e vaho napo’e añivo’ i kiririsay; eo ty nijohaña’e naho nitongalefa’e añ’ ongotse añatrefa’ i valobohò’ Israeley namela-pitàñe mb’ andikerañe ey,
Now Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had placed it in the middle of the courtyard. He stood on it, knelt down before the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,
14 vaho nanao ty hoe, Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israeleo, tsy aman’ Añahare manahak’ azo ty andindiñe ao ndra an-tane atoy, ty mahatam-pañina vaho manolotse fiferenaiñañe amo mpitoro’o mañavelo añatrefa’o an-kaliforan’arofoo;
and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven or on earth, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.
15 ie fa nifahara’o aman-draeko Davide mpitoro’o i nampitama’o azey, Eka toe tsinara’o am-palie vaho nihenefa’o am-pitàñe, le ie henanekeo.
You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.
16 Ie amy zao ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Isra­ele, tambozoro i nitsarae’o amy mpitoro’o Davide raekoy, ty hoe: Tsy ho po-ondaty am-pahaisahako eo ty hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ Israeley naho songa hañambeñe ty lala’e o ana’oo hañavelo amy Hake natolokoy manahake i nañaveloa’o aolokoy.
Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk in My law as you have walked before Me.’
17 Aa le venteo i tsara’oy henaneo ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, i tsinara’o amy mpitoro’o Davideiy.
And now, O LORD, God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant David.
18 Aa vaho toe hi­moneñe am’ondaty an-tane atoio hao t’i Andrianañahare, ie tsy tsahats’ Azo o andindin-dikerañeo, àntsake o anjom­ba rinanjikoo?
But will God indeed dwell with man upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.
19 Fe mb’e haoñe’o ty filolofam-pitoro’o naho i fihalalia’ey, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, hahajanjiñe ty toreo naho soloho isolohoa’ ty mpitoro’o añatrefa’o etoy;
Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You.
20 te hisokake mb’ami’ty anjomba toy handro an-kaleñe o fihaino’oo, mb’amy toetse nanoe’o ty hoe te hapo’o ao i tahina’oiy, hijanjiña’o o halaly ihalalia’ o mpitoro’oo mb’ amy toetse toio;
May Your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your Name, so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
21 naho ho haoñe’o o solohom-pitoro’oo naho ondati’o Israeleo, ie hihalaly mb’ ami’ty toetse toy; eka, mijanjiña am-pimoneña’o andikerañ’ ao; le ie mijanjin-dRehe, afaho.
Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.
22 Aa naho manao hakeo ama’ ondaty t’indaty naho ampi­titiheñe am-panta naho miheo mb’ añ’ an­jomba’o mb’etoa vaho mifanta añ’ atrefa’ i kitreliy;
When a man sins against his neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,
23 le mijanjiña andin­diñe ao naho ano vaho zakao an-katò o mpitoro’oo, le ondroho an-doha’ i tsivokatsey i sata’ey vaho hahao ty vantañe, le anoloro ty amy havantaña’ey.
then may You hear from heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked man by bringing down on his own head what he has done, and justifying the righteous man by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
24 Aa naho linafa ambane aolo’ o rafelahi’eo ondati’o Israeleo, ie anaña’o hakeo vaho mitolike mamela-pitàn-droe, miantoke ty tahina’o, mihalaly naho misoloho ama’o mbañ’ anjomba’o atoy;
When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading before You in this temple,
25 le mijanjiña an-dindiñ’ao naho apoho ty tahi’ ondati’o Israeleo vaho ampolio mb’ an-tane natolo’o iareo naho aman-droae’ iareo.
then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to them and their fathers.
26 Aa naho mirindriñe i likerañey naho tsy avy i orañey, amy te nanao tahiñe ama’o iereo, le ie mihalaly mb’ami’ty toetse toy naho mamela-pitàñe miantoke i tahina’o naho mitolik’ amy hakeo’ iareoy, ie fa nilafae’o,
When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,
27 le mijanjiña an-dindiñe ao vaho apoho ty hakeo’ o mpitoro’oo naho ondati’o Israeleo, le tehafo mb’an-dalan-tsoa fañaveloañe; le mampahavia orañe an-tane’o nam­pandovae’o ondati’oo.
then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
28 Aa naho mametsa-kasalikoañe i taney, he te voa ty angorosy, ke ty pozy ndra tromambo, ke ty valala ndra ty oletse; hera arikatoha’ o rafelahi’eo an-tane ndra an-drova’ iareo ao; ndra kiria inoñe ndra hatindriañ’ inoñe;
When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies besiege them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come,
29 le ze halaly naho soloho anoa’ t’indaty, ndra ondati’o Israele iabio, ie songa mahafohiñe i arete’ey naho i fangirifiri’ey vaho mamela-pitàñe mb’ ami’ty anjomba toy;
then may whatever prayer or petition Your people Israel make—each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple—
30 le mijanjiña boak’ am-pimoneña’o andike­rañe añe, le songa anoloro ty amo hene sata’eo, ie arofoana’o ty arofo’e —amy te Ihe avao ro maharofoanañe o arofon’ ana’ ondatio—
be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of men—
31 soa te hañeveña’e, hañavelo amo lala’oo amy ze hene andro iveloma’e amy tane natolo’o aman-droae’aiy.
so that they may fear You and walk in Your ways all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.
32 Le o renetane tsy am’ ondati’o Israeleoo, ie pok’eo boak’ an-tsietoitane añe ty amy tahina’o ra’e­lahiy naho ty fità’o maozatse vaho ty fità’o natorakitsy le ie mb’ etoa hihalaly mb’ ami’ty anjomba toy;
And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your great name and Your mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,
33 le mijanjiña am-pimo­neña’o an-dikerañe añe, le ano ze hene ikanjia’ i renetaney; soa te fonga hahafohiñe ty tahina’o ondati’ ty tane toio naho hañe­veñe manahake ondati’o Israeleo vaho ho fohi’ iereo te kanjiañe ami’ty anjomba namboareko toy i tahina’oy.
then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.
34 Aa ie mionjomb’ an-kotakotak’ amo rafelahi’eo ondati’oo, mb’amy ze lalañe añiraha’o iareo naho mihalaly ama’o mb’ami’ty rova jinobo’o toy naho mb’ ami’ ty anjomba niranjieko ho amy tahina’o toy;
When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to You in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,
35 le janjiño i halali’ iareoy naho o soloho’ iareoo vaho henefo ty fitsa­korean-tro’ iareo.
then may You hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and may You uphold their cause.
36 Aa ie anaña’o tahiñe (toe tsy eo t’indaty tsy mandilatse) naho iviñera’o naho atolo’o amo rafelahi’ iareoo vaho asese an-drohy mb’an-tane lavits’ añe ndra marine eo;
When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to a land far or near,
37 f’ie mitsakore an-trok’ao an-tane naneseañe iareo an-drohy añe naho mitolike, misoloho ama’o an-tanem-pandrohiza’ iareo ao, manao ty hoe: Nandilatse zahay, nitoloñ’ an-tahiñe, nanao hakeo;
and when they come to their senses in the land to which they were taken, and they repent and plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’
38 le ie mimpoly ama’o an-kaampon’arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova, an-tanem-pandrohizañ’ ao, amy naneseañe iareo an-drohiy vaho mihalaly mb’ amy tane natolo’o aman-droae’ iareoy naho mb’amy rova jinobo’oy, mb’amo anjomba niranjieko amy tahina’oio,
and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,
39 le mijanjiña an-dindiñey, am-pimoneña’o ao, o halali’ iareoo naho o soloho’ iareoo, le añomezo to ty amo enta’ iareoo; vaho apoho ty hakeo’ ondati’o nandilatse ama’oo.
then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause. May You forgive Your people who sinned against You.
40 Ie henane zao, ry Andrianañahareko, ehe te hisokake o fihaino’oo naho ho janjiñen-dravembia’o ty halaly taroñeñe ami’ty toetse toy.
Now, my God, may Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.
41 Aa le miongaha mb’an-toem-pitofà’o eo ry Iehovà Andria­nañahare, Ihe naho ty vatan-kaozara’o; Ee te hisarom-pandrombahañe abey ry Iehovà Andrianañahare, o mpisoro’oo, le hirebek’ ami’ty hasoa o noro’oo.
Now therefore, arise, O LORD God, and enter Your resting place, You and the ark of Your might. May Your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and may Your godly ones rejoice in goodness.
42 O ry Iehovà Andrianañahare, ko ampiolire’o ty lahara’ i noriza’oy; tiahio o fiferenaiña i Davide mpitoro’oo.
O LORD God, do not reject Your anointed one. Remember Your loving devotion to Your servant David.”
