1 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da hina bagade diasu amo ganodini esalu. Eso afaega, e da balofede (Gode Sia: Alofesu Dunu) Na: ida: ne ema misa: ne sia: ne, ema amane sia: i, “Na da diasu noga: i amo dolo ifaga hamoi, amo ganodini hahawane esala. Be Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da udigili abula diasu ganodini diala!”
Once David had settled into his palace, he spoke to the prophet Nahum. “Look,” he said, “I'm living in a cedar palace while the Ark of the Lord's Agreement is kept in a tent!”
2 Na: idane da bu adole i, “Dia hanai defele hamoma! Bai Hina Gode da ani esala.”
“Do what you think you should, for the God is with you,” Nathan replied.
3 Be amo gasia, Hina Gode da Na: ida: nema amane sia: i,
But that night God told Nathan,
4 “Dia asili, na hawa: hamosu dunu Da: ibidi ema amane sia: ma, ‘Di da debolo amo ganodini Na da esalumu amo gaguma: ne, Na da di hame ilegei.
“Go and talk to my servant David. Tell him, this is what the Lord says, You are not to build a house for me to live in.
5 Na da Isala: ili fi dunu Idibidi sogea esalu amo gaga: lalu amogainini wali, Na da Debolo Diasu ganodini hame esalu. Be na da abula diasu ganodini fawane esalu.
I have not lived in a house from the time I led Israel out of Egypt until now. I have lived in tents, moving from place to place.
6 Na da Isala: ili dunu eso bagohame nini ahoanoba, Na da ouligisu dunu amo Na da ilegei ilima, ‘dilia da abuliba: le nama dolo ifa amoga hamoi Debolo Diasu hame gaguila: ?’ amane hamedafa adole ba: su.
But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’
7 Amaiba: le, Na hawa: hamosu dunu Da: ibidi ema amane sia: ma, ‘Na, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, da dia sogega sibi ouligilalu amo lale, Na fi dunu Isala: ili amo ouligima: ne hina bagade hamoi.
So then, go and tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of my people Israel.
8 Di da habodili ahoanoba, Na da ani galu ahoasu galu. Amola di da gusuba: i mogodigili ahoabeba: le, Na da dia ha lai dunu hasasalisu. Na da di osobo bagade baligili bagade ouligisu dunu defele, dunu eno dima nodoma: ne hamomu.
I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have struck down all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.
9 Na da Na fi Isala: ili dunu esaloma: ne sogebi ilegele, ilia hahawane fima: ne hamoi dagoi. Ilia da amogawi enoga mae banenesili esalumu. Ilia da amo soge ganodini golili sa: ili amogainini wali eso, nimi bagade ha lai dunu da ilima doagala: lebe ba: su. Be amo hou da bu hame ba: mu. Na da dia ha lai iliga mae hasalasima: ne, Na da di gaga: ma: ne dafawane ilegesa. Amola Na da dima digaga fi imunu.
I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,
from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.
11 Di bogosea amola dia aowalali dunu ilima gilisili uli dogoi ba: sea, Na da diagofe afae hina bagade hamoma: mu. Amola Na da ea hina bagade hou amoma gasa imunu.
For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.
12 E da Na Debolo Diasu gagumu, amola ea ouligisu da eso huluane fifi ahoanoma: ne, amo Na da ilegesa.
He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.
13 Na da ea Ada esalumu, amola e da Nagofe esalumu. Na da di hina bagade hamoma: ne, Solo fadegai. Be Na da Soloma Na fuligala: su hou fadegai, amo defele diagofema Na fuligala: su hou hamedafa fadegamu.
I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of the one who ruled before you.
14 E amola digaga fi da mae dagole, osobo bagadega esalebe ba: mu. Amola digaga fi ilia hina bagade hou da eso huluane fifi ahoanumu. Amola dia hina bagade hou da hamedafa dagomu.”
I will put him in charge of my house and my kingdom forever, and his dynasty will last forever.”
15 Na: ida: ne da liligi huluane amo Gode da ema olelei, amo huluane Da: ibidima alofele olelei.
This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
16 Amalalu, hina bagade Da: ibidi da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu amo ganodini golili sa: ili, amane sia: ne gadosa esalu. “Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da nama hou noga: idafa hamoi dagoi. Be na amola na sosogo fi da Dia fidisu lamu defele hame agoai ba: sa.
Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?
17 Be wali Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da baligili hamosa. Di da nagaga fa: no misunu dunu fi amo noga: le fidima: ne ilegesa. Amola Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da amo na ba: ma: ne hamosa.
God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. You also see me as someone very important, Lord God.
18 Na da Dima adi sia: ma: bela: ? Na da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu! Amola Dia na dawa: !
What more can I, David, say to you for honoring me in this way? You know your servant all too well!
19 Di da amo hou hamomu hanaiba: le amola ilegeiba: le hamosu. Di da nama bagade hou misunu amo olelema: ne, amo hou hamosu.
Lord, you're doing all this for me, your servant, and because it's what you want—doing all these amazing things and letting people know about them.
20 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da bagadedafa! Dunu eno Di agoai da hamedafa! Di fawane da Godedafa! Ninia eso huluane amo dawa: i galu.
Lord, there really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.
21 Eno fi Isala: ili fi agoai da osobo bagadega hame gala. Isala: ili fi dunu da musa: Idibidi sogega udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalu. Be Di da ili Dia fidafa dunu hamoma: ne, ili gaga: i. Di da ili fidima: ne, baligili gasa bagade hamobeba: le, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da Dia hou nodone dawa: Dia fi dunu amo Di da Dia Fidafa hamoma: ne, Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne asunasi, ilia da gusuba: i ahoabeba: le, Di da fifi asi gala eno amo sefasilalu.
Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.
22 Dia da Isala: ili fi amo Dia Fidafa eso huluane esaloma: ne hamoi dagoi. Hina Gode! Di da ilia Godedafa hamoi dagoi.
You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
23 Amola wali, Hina Godedafa, Dia nama amola nagaga fi ilima hamomusa: ilegele sia: i, amo huluane hamoma.
So now, Lord, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and lasts forever. Please do as you have promised,
24 Dunu huluane da Dia gasa bagade hou dawa: mu. Amola ilia da amane sia: mu, ‘Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi dunu ilia Gode esala’. Amola Dia da na hina bagade ouligisu hou eso huluane dialoma: ne hamomu.
and may your true nature be recognized and honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.
25 Hina Gode Bagadedafa! Isala: ili fi ilia Gode! Na da Dima agoane sia: ne gadobeba: le hame beda: sa. Bai na da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu, amola Di da amo hou huluane nama olelei. Amola nagaga fi dunu da hina bagade hamomu, Di sia: i dagoi.
You, my God, have explained to me, your servant, that you will build me a house. That's why your servant has had the courage to pray to you.
26 Wali, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da Godedafa! Di da nama noga: le ilegele sia: i, amola Dia ilegesu huluane, Di da dafawane hamosa.
For you, Lord, are God! You are the one who has promised all these good things to your servant.
27 Na da Dima edegesa. Di da mae fisili nagaga fi ilima hahawane dogolegele ba: ma: ne, ilima hahawane dogolegele hamoma. Di, Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da amo hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi. Amola Di da eso huluane nagaga fi ilima hahawane dogolegele hamomu.”
So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For when you bless, Lord, it is blessed forever.”
