1 Le hoe t’i Selomò: Fa nafè’ Iehovà t’ie ho nimoneñe añ’ ieñe mingeo ao.
Then said Solomon, “The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 Fe nandranjieko anjombam-pimoneñan-dRehe, toetse hitobea’o nainai’e.
And I have indeed built a dwelling-house for thee, and have settled a place for thy abode for ever.”
3 Nampitoli-daharañe amy zao i mpanjakay naho nitata i valobohò’ Israele iabiy, ie fonga nijohañe eo i fivoribei’ Israeley.
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel, and all the congregation of Israel was standing.
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, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, when he said,
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 that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I did not make choice of any city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; nor did I make choice of any man to be a ruler over my people of Israel;
6 naho tsy e Ierosalaime ao ty jinoboko hanoako ty añarako naho tsy i Davide ty jinoboko hifelek’ ondatiko Israeleo.
But I have made choice of Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have made choice 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.
And it was in the heart of David my father 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 unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart:
9 tsy ihe ty hamboatse i anjombay, fa hamboare’ i ana’o hiboak’ am-bania’oy, ty akiba ho ami’ty añarako.
Nevertheless thou shalt not thyself build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto 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 hath fulfilled his word that he hath spoken; and I am risen up in the stead of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord hath spoken, and I have built the house unto the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
11 Le fa napoko ao i vata amam-pañina nifanoa’ Iehovà amo ana’ Israeleoy.
And I have placed there the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord which he hath made with the children of Israel.
12 Aa le nijohañe aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovà añatrefa’ i valobohò’ Israele iabiy re namelatse o fità’eo—
And he now placed himself before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth 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,
For Solomon had made a laver of copper, and had placed it in the midst of the out-court, five cubits being its length, five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height; and he placed himself upon it, and kneeled down upon his knees in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth 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 he said, O Lord God of Israel, there is no god like thee in the heavens, or on the earth, thou who keepest the covenant, and the kindness for thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;
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.
Who has kept for thy servant David my father that which thou hadst promised him; and thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is 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.
And now, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for thy servant David my father that which thou hast spoken concerning him, saying, There shall never fail thee a man in my sight who sitteth on the throne of Israel, if thy children but take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast 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, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant, unto 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?
For, in truth, will God then dwell with men on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee: how much less then this house that 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 wilt thou turn thy regard unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to listen unto the entreaty and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
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 thy eyes may be open toward this house day and night, toward the place of which thou hast said that thou wouldst put thy name there; that thou mayest listen unto the prayer which thy servant will pray at 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 listen thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they will pray at this place: and oh, do thou hear from thy dwelling-place, from heaven; and 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;
If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy altar 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 do thou hear from heaven, and act, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, to give 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;
And if thy people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and they return and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication before thee 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 do thou hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and cause them to return unto the land which thou hast given 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 the heavens be shut up, and there he no rain, because they have sinned against thee, and they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast 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 do thou hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel; for thou wilt direct them unto the good way, wherein they should walk; and give then rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for 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;
If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, blasting, or mildew, if there be locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in their land, in their gates at whatsoever plague, and at whatsoever sickness;
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;
What prayer and what supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, when they shall be conscious every man of his plague and his pain, and he then spread forth his hands toward 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 do thou hear from heaven the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and give to every man in accordance with all his ways, as thou mayest know his heart; for thou, thyself alone, knowest the heart 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.
In order that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, all the days that they live on the face of the land which thou hast given unto 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;
But also to the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far-off country for the sake of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy outstretched arm, — if they come and pray in 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.
Mayest thou likewise listen from heaven, from the place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger will call on thee for: in order that all people of the earth may know thy name, both to fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and to understand that this house, which I have built, is called by thy 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 thy people go out to battle against their enemies on the way on which thou mayest send them, and they do pray unto thee in the direction of this city which thou hast chosen, and of the house that I have built unto thy name:
35 le janjiño i halali’ iareoy naho o soloho’ iareoo vaho henefo ty fitsa­korean-tro’ iareo.
Then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and procure them justice.
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 sin against thee—for there is no man that may not sin, —and thou be angry with them, and give them up before the enemy, so that their captors carry them away captive unto 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 then take it to their heart in the land whither they have been carried captive, and repent and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, and 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 they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have been carried captive, and they pray in the direction of their land, which thou hast given unto their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built unto thy 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 hear thou from heaven, from the place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and procure them justice, and forgive thy people for what they have sinned against thee.
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, let I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and thy ears be attentive unto the prayer on 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.
And now arise, O Lord God, unto thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, clothe themselves with salvation, and let thy pious servants rejoice in happiness.
42 O ry Iehovà Andrianañahare, ko ampiolire’o ty lahara’ i noriza’oy; tiahio o fiferenaiña i Davide mpitoro’oo.
O Lord God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the pious deeds of David thy servant.
