2 Tantara 6

1 Le hoe t’i Selomò: Fa nafè’ Iehovà t’ie ho nimoneñe añ’ ieñe mingeo 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,

2 Fe nandranjieko anjombam-pimoneñan-dRehe, toetse hitobea’o nainai’e.

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

3 Nampitoli-daharañe amy zao i mpanjakay naho nitata i valobohò’ Israele iabiy, ie fonga nijohañe eo i fivoribei’ 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.

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

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

From the day when I took my people out of the land 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; and I took no man to be a 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 made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of 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 put up 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 David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:

9 tsy ihe ty hamboatse i anjombay, fa hamboare’ i ana’o hiboak’ am-bania’oy, ty akiba ho ami’ty añarako.

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

And the Lord has kept his word; 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 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 put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.

12 Aa le nijohañe aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovà añatrefa’ i valobohò’ Israele iabiy re namelatse o fità’eo—

Then he took his place in front of the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present,

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,

(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to 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 he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways 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.

For 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.

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.

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 before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.

17 Aa le venteo i tsara’oy henaneo ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, i tsinara’o amy mpitoro’o Davideiy.

So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, make your word come true which you said 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 is it truly possible that God may be housed with men 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:

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;

Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant and to his prayer for grace, O Lord my God, and give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant makes 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;

That your eyes may be open to this house day and night, to this place of which you have said that you would put your name there; to give ear to the prayer which your servant may make, turning to 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.

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

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;

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:

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

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;

And if 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 and requesting your grace in this house:

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 give ear from heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again to the land which you gave to them and to 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 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:

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 give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin 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.

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;

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

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;

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:

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—

Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, 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 the children 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 give you worship, walking in your ways, as long as they are living in the land which 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 man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

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 give ear from 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 may see that this house which I have made is truly named 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;

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

35 le janjiño i halali’ iareoy naho o soloho’ iareoo vaho henefo ty fitsa­korean-tro’ iareo.

Then give ear from heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.

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;

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 prisoners to a land far off 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 if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, turning 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;

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,

If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made 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 give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong 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, O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears awake to the prayers made 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.

Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.

42 O ry Iehovà Andrianañahare, ko ampiolire’o ty lahara’ i noriza’oy; tiahio o fiferenaiña i Davide mpitoro’oo.

O Lord God, let him whom you have taken for yourself never be given up by you: keep in mind your mercies to David your servant.
