¹And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the princes of the divisions that ministered to the king, and the captains over thousands, and the captains over hundreds, and the comptrollers of all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the chamberlains, and the mighty men, and all the men of valour, unto Jerusalem.

¹[Ny hafatra nataon'i Davida ny amin'ny hanaovana ny tempoly sy ny amin'ny fivavahana] Ary novorin'i Davida tany Jerosalema ny lehibe rehetra tamin'ny Isiraely, dia ny lohan'ny firenena sy ny komandin'ny antokony Izay nanompo ny andriamanjaka, ary ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato sy ny mpitandrina ny harena mbanin'ny fananana rehetra an'ny mpanjaka sy ny zanany mbamin'ny tandapa sy ny lehilahy mahery, dia ny lehibe rehetra.[Heb. ionoka]

²And king David stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren and my people! I had in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and for the footstool of our God, and I have prepared to build.

²Ary Davida mpanjaka nitsangana ka nanao hoe: Mihainoa ahy, ry rahalahiko sy ry vahoakako! Raha izaho, dia efa mby tato am-poko ny hanao trano fitsaharana ho an'ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah sy ho an'ny fitoeran-tongotr'Andriamanitsika, ary efa novononiko izay ho enti-manao azy;

³But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

³nefa hoy Andriamanitra tamiko: Tsy hanao trano ho an'ny anarako ianao, satria lehilahy mpiady sy mpandatsa-drà.

⁴And Jehovah the God of Israel chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for he has chosen Judah to be the prince; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;

⁴Nefa kosa Jehovah, Andriamanitra ny Isiraely efa nifidy ahy tamin'ny ankohonan'ny raiko rehetra ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely mandrakizay; fa Joda no nofidiny ho mpanjaka, ary tamin'ny taranak'i Joda indray dia ny ankohonan'ny raiko no nofidiny; ary tamin'ny ankohonan'ny raiko dia izaho kosa no nankasitrahany ka nataony mpanjaka amin'ny Isiraely rehetra.

⁵and of all my sons, (for Jehovah has given me many sons,) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel.

⁵Ary tamin'ny zanako rehetra (fa zanaka maro no nomen'i Jehovah ahy) dia Solomona zanako no nofidiny hipetraka amin'ny seza fiandrianan'ny fanjakan'i Jehovah hanjaka amin'ny Isiraely.

⁶And he said to me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

⁶Ary hoy Izy tamiko: Solomona zanakao no hanao ny tranoko sy ny kianjako, fa efa nifidy azy ho zanako Aho, ary Izaho ho rainy.

⁷And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be firm to do my commandments and mine ordinances, as at this day.

⁷Ary hampitoetra ny fanjakany ho mandrakizay Aho, raha maharitra mitandrina ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko mandra-kariva izy tahaka ny amin'izao anio izao.

⁸And now in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of Jehovah, and in the audience of our God, -- keep and seek for all the commandments of Jehovah your God; that ye may possess the good land, and leave it as an inheritance to your children after you for ever.

⁸Ary ankehitriny, eto anatrehan'ny Isiraely rehetra, fiangonan'i Jehovah, sy eto anatrehan'Andriamanitsika, tandremo sy diniho ny didin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo rehetra, mba hahatananareo ity tany soa ity, sady havelanareo ho lovan'ny zanakareo mandimby anareo, mandrakizay izy.

⁹And thou, Solomon my son, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searches all hearts, and discerns all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cut thee off for ever.

⁹Ary ianao, ry Solomona zanako, aoka ho fantatrao Andriamanitry ny rainao, ka manompoa Azy amin'ny fo rehetra sy ny fanahy mazoto; fa Jehovah, dia mpandinika ny fo rehetra, ary ny fieritreretana rehetra dia fantany avokoa. Raha mitady Azy ianao, dia hahita Azy; fa raha mahafoy Azy kosa ianao, dia hariany mandrakizay.

¹⁰Consider now, that Jehovah has chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].

¹⁰Koa mitandrema; fa Jehovah efa nifidy anao hanao trano ho fitoerana masina; dia mahereza ka mahefà.

¹¹And David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner chambers, and of the house of the mercy-seat;

¹¹Ary Davida nanome an'i Solomona zanany ny sarin'ny lavarangana fidirana sy ny tranony sy ny trano firaketany sy ny efi-trano ambony sy ny efi-trano anatiny ary ny trano misy ny rakotra fanaovam-panavotana,

¹²and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of Jehovah, and of all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

¹²ary ny sarin'izay rehetra efa niseho tamin'ny fanahiny; dia ny amin'ny kianjan'ny tranon'i Jehovah sy ny efi-trano rehetra manodidina azy ho an'ny rakitry ny tranon'i Jehovah sy ny zavatra nohamasinina ho rakitra,

¹³and for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the instruments of service in the house of Jehovah:

¹³sy ho an'ny antokon'ny mpisorona sy ny Levita koa, ary ho an'ny fanompoana rehetra ao an-tranon'i Jehovah sy ho an'ny fanaka rehetra ho enti-manompo ao an-tranon'i Jehovah,

¹⁴gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all utensils of each kind of service; for all utensils of silver, by weight, for all utensils of each kind of service;

¹⁴ary ny lanjan'ny volamena hanaovana ny fanaka volamena samy hafa rehetra, ary ny lanjan'ny volafotsy koa hanaovana ny fanaka volafotsy samy hafa rehetra,

¹⁵and the weight of the golden candlesticks, and of their golden lamps, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps; and for the silver candlesticks, by weight, for the candlestick and for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick;

¹⁵ary ny lanjan'ny volamena hanaovana ny fanaovan-jiro volamena sy ny lela fanaovan-jirony araka ny lanjany avy, ary ny lanjan'ny volafotsy hanaovana ny fanaovan-jiro volafotsy sy ny lela fanaovan-jirony araka ny fombany avy,

¹⁶and gold by weight for the tables of the [loaves] to be set in rows, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

¹⁶ary ny lanjan'ny volamena hanaovana ireo latabatra hametrahana ny mofo aseho, ary ny amin'ny volafotsy ho amin'ny latabatra volafotsy,

¹⁷and pure gold for the forks, and the bowls, and the goblets; and for the golden basons by weight for every bason; and for the silver basons by weight for every bason;

¹⁷ary ny amin'ny fitrebika sy ny lovia famafazana ary ny fitoeran-divay, izay samy volamena tsara, ary ny amin'ny kapoaka misarona, na ny volamena, na ny volafotsy, araka ny lanjany avy,

¹⁸and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim of gold, which spread out [their wings] and cover the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.

¹⁸ary ny lanjan'ny volamena voadio hanaovana ny alitara fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra; ary nomeny koa ny sarin'ny kalesy, dia ny kerobima volamena, izay manana elatra mivelatra ka manaloka ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah.

¹⁹All this [said David,] in writing, by Jehovah's hand upon me, instructing as to all the works of the pattern.

¹⁹Izany asa rehetra araka ny sary izany, hoy Davida, no nampahafantarin'i Jehovah ahy tamin'ny soratra avy tamin'ny tànany, izay atỳ amiko.

²⁰And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and courageous, and do it; fear not nor be dismayed: for Jehovah Elohim, my God, will be with thee; he will not leave thee, neither forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah is finished.

²⁰Ary hoy koa Davida tamin'i Solomona zanany: Mahereza sy matanjaha ka mahefà; aza matahotra na mivadi-po; fa Jehovah Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitro, no momba anao; tsy handao na hahafoy anao Izy ambara-pahavitanao ny asa rehetra hanaovana ny tranon'i Jehovah.Ary indreo ny antokon'ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hanao ny fanompoana rehetra ao an-tranon'Andriamanitra; ary ao aminao hanampy amin'ny asa samy hafa rehetra ny olon-kendry izay manolo-tena mba hahavita ny fanompoana rehetra sy ny mpifehy ary ny vahoaka rehetra hankatò ny didinao.

²¹And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites are for all the service of the house of God; and thou hast with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing man, skilful for every sort of service; and the princes and all the people are wholly at thy commandment.

²¹Ary indreo ny antokon'ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hanao ny fanompoana rehetra ao an-tranon'Andriamanitra; ary ao aminao hanampy amin'ny asa samy hafa rehetra ny olon-kendry izay manolo-tena mba hahavita ny fanompoana rehetra sy ny mpifehy ary ny vahoaka rehetra hankatò ny didinao.
