1 Tantara 22

1 Dia hoy Davida: Eto no ho tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra, ary eto no ho alitara fandoroana ny fanatitra dorana ho an’ ny Isiraely.

Then David said, “This is the house of Yahweh God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

2 Ary nasain’ i Davida novorina ny olona hafa firenena izay tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely, ka nanendreny tambato hipai-bato hanaovana ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.

David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.

3 Ary Davida nahavonona vy betsaka hatao hombon’ ny lela-vavahady sy ny fikambanany, ary varahina betsaka tsy hita lanja

David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates and for the couplings, and bronze in abundance without weight,

4 sy hazo sedera tsy hita isa; fa ny mponina tany Sidona sy Tyro nitondra hazo sedera betsaka ho any amin’ i Davida.

and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.

5 Fa hoy Davida: Solomona zanako mbola zaza sady tanora fanahy, ary ny trano hatao ho an’ i Jehovah dia tsy maintsy ho lehibe indrindra, mba hiely any amin’ ny tany rehetra ny lazany sy ny voninahiny, koa hovononiko rahateo ny zavatra ho enti-manao azy. Ka dia nahavonona betsaka Davida, raha mbola velona izy.

David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.

6 Ary niantso an’ i Solomona zanany izy va nandidy azy hanao trano ho an’ i Jehovah, andriamanitry ny Isiraely,

Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.

7 ary nanao taminy hoe: Anaka, efa mby tato am-poko ny hanao trano ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro;

David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God.

8 saingy nisy tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamiko nanao hoe: Be ny rà efa nalatsakao, ary ady lehibe no efa nataonao; koa tsy mahazo manao trano ho an’ ny anarako ianao, satria be ny rà efa nalatsakao tamin’ ny tany teo imasoko.

But Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

9 Fa, indro, ianao hiteraka zazalahy, izay ho lehilahy miadana, ary hampiadaniko tsy hisy hahazo azy ny fahavalony rehetra manodidina; koa ny anarany dia hatao hoe Solomona; ary hampiadaniko sy hampandriko fahizay ny Isiraely amin’ ny androny.

Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

10 Izy no hanao trano ho an’ ny anarako; ary izy ho zanako, ary Izaho ho rainy, ary Izaho hampitoetra ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakany amin’ ny Isiraely mandrakizay.

He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

11 Koa ankehitriny, anaka, ho aminao anie Jehovah, ka hambinina anie ianao, fa ataovy ny tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao araka izay nilazany anao.

Now, my son, may Yahweh be with you and prosper you, and build the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

12 Ary homen’ i Jehovah saina sy fahendrena anie ianao ka hatsangany ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely, mba hitandremanao ny lalan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.

May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of Yahweh your God.

13 Ary amin’ izany dia hambinina ianao, raha mitandrina hankatò ny lalàna sy ny fitsipika izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy ho an’ ny Isiraely; mahereza sy matanjaha; aza matahotra na mivadi-po.

Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid and don’t be dismayed.

14 Ary, he! fa na dia be fahoriana aza aho, dia nahavory talenta volamena iray hetsy sy talenta volafotsy iray tapitrisa ary varahina sy vy betsaka tsy hita lanja ho enti-manao ny tranon’ i Jehovah; ary efa nahavonona hazo sy vato koa aho; ka dia ampionao kosa ireo.

Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for Yahweh’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.

15 Ary koa, efa manana mpiasa betsaka ianao, dia mpikapa hazo sy tambato sy mpandrafitra ary olona mahay ny asa samy hafa rehetra.

There are also workmen with you in abundance—cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;

16 Ny volamena sy ny volafotsy ary ny varahina sy ny vy dia tsy hita isa. Koa mitsangàna ianao, ka manaova, ary homba anao anie Jehovah.

of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may Yahweh be with you.”

17 Ary Davida nandidy ny lehibe rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely hanampy an’ i Solomona zanany hoe:

David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

18 Tsy momba anareo va Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ka efa nampiadana anareo amin’ ny manodidina? Fa efa natolony teo an-tanako ny mponina amin’ ny tany; ary ny tany efa resy teo anoloan’ i Jehovah sy teo anoloan’ ny olony.

“Isn’t Yahweh your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh and before his people.

19 Koa ankehitriny ampitadiavo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ny fonareo sy ny fanahinareo, ka mitsangàna, ary manaova ny fitoerana masìna ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra, hampidirana ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah sy ny fanaka masin’ Andriamanitra ho ao amin’ ny trano izay hatao ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah.

Now set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”
