2 Tantara 7
1 Ie nihenefe’ i Selomò i filolofa’ey, le nidoindoiñe boak’ andikerañe eñe ty afo nampibotseke i enga oroañey naho o soroñeo vaho nandifotse i anjomba’ Iehovày ty enge’ Iehovà.
When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from the sky and burned all the offerings and sacrifices [that were on the altar], and the glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple.
2 Tsy nahafizilik’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao o mpisoroñeo amy te nañatseke i anjombay ty enge’ Iehovà.
The radiance [was extremely bright], with the result that the priests could not enter the temple of Yahweh.
3 Niisa’ o ana’ Israele iabio ty nivotraha’ i afoy naho ty enge’ Iehovà amy anjombay; le nibokok’ an-damoke eo, nidròdreke mb’an-tane, niambane naho nañandriañe Iehovà: Amy te Ie ro soa, nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’e.
When all the Israeli people [who were there] saw the fire coming down and the glory of Yahweh above the temple, they prostrated themselves with their faces touching the ground. They worshiped and thanked Yahweh, singing, “Yahweh is always good to us; he faithfully loves us forever.”
4 Le songa nanao soroñe añatrefa’ Iehovà i mpanjakay naho ondatio.
Then the king and all the people who were there dedicated the temple to Yahweh by offering more sacrifices to him. King Solomon gave 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep and goats to be sacrificed.
5 Nandenta añombe ro’ale-tsi-ro’ arivo hisoroñañe t’i Selomò mpanjaka naho boak’ an-dia-raik’ ao ty rai-hetse-tsi-ro’ ale. Aa le noriza’ i mpanjakay naho ondaty iabio ty anjomban’ Añahare.
6 Nijohañe eo o mpisoroñeo, songa fitoloña’e; o nte-Levio rekets’ o fititihan-tsabo am’ Iehovà niranjie’ i Davide mpanjakao, hañandriañe Iehovà, amy te nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’e, am-pandrengea’ i Davide am-pità’ iareoo; le nampipopò trompetra tandrife iareo o mpisoroñeo; vaho nijohañe iaby t’Israele.
The priests stood in their positions, and the other descendants of Levi stood in their positions holding the musical instruments [to praise] Yahweh, instruments that King David had caused to be made for praising Yahweh and thanking him. [They sang], “He faithfully loves us forever.” Facing the other descendants of Levi the priests stood, blowing their trumpets, while all the Israeli people were standing [and listening].
7 Mbore nimasiñe’ i Selomò ty añivon-kiririsa aolo’ i anjomba’ Iehovày; le eo ty nañengà’e i soroñe rey naho o saboran’ engam-panintsiñañeo; amy te tsy naharambe i soroñe rey naho o engan-kaneñeo naho i saboray i kitrely torisike niranjie’ i Selomòy.
Solomon dedicated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple. Then he gave offerings to be completely burned there along with the fat of the animals to be sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. The priests burned them there in the courtyard because in addition to those things there were offerings of grain, with the result that there was not enough space on the bronze altar to burn all those sacrifices.
8 Aa le nambena’ i Selomò fito andro i sabadidakey naho niharo ama’e iaby t’Israele, toe valobohòke jabajaba, sikal’ am-pimoahañ’ amy Kamate añe pak’ an-toraha’ i Mitsraime añe.
Solomon [and the other people] celebrated the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days. There was a huge group of people who celebrated with him. Some of them came from [as far away as] Lebo-Hamath [in the far north] and the border of Egypt [in the far south].
9 Le hene nivoribey amy andro fahavaloy, amy te nambena’ iereo fito andro ty fañorizañe i kitreliy vaho fito andro ka i sabadidakey.
On the eighth/next day they gathered again [to worship Yahweh]. They had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days.
10 Aa ie amy andro faha roapolo-telo’ambi’ i volam-pahafitoy, le nampolie’e mb’an-kivoho’e mb’eo ondatio, sambe fale naho nirebek’ an-troke ty amy hasoa naboa’ Iehovà amy Davide naho amy Selomò vaho am’ Israele ondati’eoy.
Then on the next day Solomon sent them to their homes. They were very joyful because of all the good things that Yahweh had done for David and Solomon and for all his Israeli people.
11 Aa le nifonire’ i Selomò i anjomba’ Iehovày naho i anjomba’ i mpanjakaiy; ze hene nimoak’ añ’arofo’ i Selomò le niranjie’e añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao naho amy anjomba’ey ho fonitse.
Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple and Solomon’s palace. And Solomon finished doing everything else that he had planned to do.
12 Niboak’ amy Selomò haleñe t’Iehovà, nanao ama’e ty hoe: Tsinanoko i halali’oy vaho jinoboko ho ahiko ho anjombam-pisoroñañe ty toetse toy.
Then Yahweh appeared to him one night [in a dream] and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this temple to be the place where my people will offer sacrifices to me.
13 Aa naho arindriko i likerañey tsy hahavia’e orañe, ke lilieko o valalao hampibotseke i taney, he ampihitrifako angorosy am’ondatikoo;
“When I prevent any rain from falling, or when I command locusts to eat all the crops, or when I send a plague among my people,
14 le ie hirè-batañe ondaty tokaveñe ami’ ty añarakoo, hihalaly naho hipay ty tareheko vaho hifotetse amo fañaveloa’ iareo ratio; le hitsanoñe boak’ andindiñe ao Raho, le hapoko o tahi’ iareoo vaho ho janganeko o tane’ iareoo.
if the people who belong to me humble themselves and pray, and request me to help them, and if they turn away from their sinful behavior, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive them for having sinned and I will cause them to prosper again.
15 Hisokake henaneo o masokoo, le ho tsanoñe’ o sofikoo ze halaly anoeñe ami’ty toetse toy.
I [SYN] will see them and I [SYN] will hear them when they pray to me in this place.
16 Fa jinoboko naho nimasiñeko ty anjomba toy henane zao, soa te ho ao kitro-katroke ty añarako vaho ho ama’e nainai’e donia o masokoo naho ty troko.
I have chosen and have (set apart/dedicated) this temple in order that people may worship [MTY] me there forever. I will always watch over [MTY] it and protect [IDM] it.
17 Le ie hañavelo añatrefako, manahake ty fañaveloa’ i Davide rae’o, hanao o fonga nandiliako azoo, hañambeñe o fañèkoo naho o fepèkoo;
“And as for you, if you obey me as David your father did, and if you do all that I command you to do, and obey all my laws and decrees,
18 le horizako ty fiambesam-pifeleha’o, ty amy fañinako amy Davide rae’o, nanao ty hoe: Tsy ho po-ondaty hifehe Israele irehe.
I will make sure that your descendants will always be kings, which is what I promised to David your father, saying, ‘Some of your descendants will always be the kings of Israel.’
19 Fe naho hivìke añe irehe hamorintseñe o fañèkoo naho o fepèko najadoko añatrefa’ areoo vaho hiavotse hitoroñe ndrahare ila’e hitalahoa’ areo;
“But if you Israelis turn away from me and disobey the decrees and commands that I have given to you, and you start to worship other gods,
20 le hombotako reke-bahatse an-taneko natoloko iareo; le ty anjomba nimasiñeko ho ami’ty añarako toy ro hahifiko tsy ho am-pahatreavako añe, fa hanoeko razan-drehake naho fandrabioña’ ze kilakila’ ondaty.
I will cause you to be expelled from this land that I have given to you, and I will abandon this temple that I have set apart to be the place where people should worship me. I will cause it to be despised and ridiculed by people of all nations.
21 Le ty anjomba mandigiligy toy, ro hilatsà ze fonga mpiary ama’e, hanao ty hoe; Aa vaho akore te nanoe’ Iehovà zao o tane toañeo naho i anjomba’ey?
Although this temple is now greatly respected, when that happens, all the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done terrible things like this to this country and to this temple?’
22 Le hoe ty havali’ iareo: Ie namorintseñe Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo nañavotse iareo an-tane Mitsraime añe, mbore nandrambe ndrahare ila’e naho nitalahoa’ iareo vaho nitoroña’ iareo; toly ndra naobo’e am’iereo o fonga hankàñe zao.
And others will reply, ‘It happened because they rejected Yahweh, the God to whom their ancestors belonged, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they have been worshiping other gods and trying to please them. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
