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!”
After David began to live in his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It does not seem right that] I am here living in a palace made of cedar [wood], but Yahweh’s Sacred Chest is kept inside a tent!”
2 Na: idane da bu adole i, “Dia hanai defele hamoma! Bai Hina Gode da ani esala.”
Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you are thinking about doing, do it, because God is with/guiding you.”
3 Be amo gasia, Hina Gode da Na: ida: nema amane sia: i,
But that night God spoke [MTY] to Nathan. He said,
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 tell my servant David that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one who should build a temple 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 any building, from the day that I brought the people of Israel up [out of Egypt] until now. Instead, I have [lived in a tent], moving from one place to another with [the Israelis] when they moved to other places [DOU].
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.
Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never [RHQ] said to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead [MET] them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
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.
Therefore, this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘I, the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and I appointed you] to be the ruler of my Israeli people.
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/helped) you wherever you have gone, and I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. And now I will cause you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the 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.
Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed them. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give not allow them to [be attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
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.
When your life ends [EUP], and you [die and] go to be with your ancestors [who have died], I will appoint one of your sons to become king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
12 E da Na Debolo Diasu gagumu, amola ea ouligisu da eso huluane fifi ahoanoma: ne, amo Na da ilegesa.
He is the one who will [arrange for] a temple to be built for me. And I will enable his descendants to be kings [MTY] of Israel 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 [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me. I stopped loving [Saul, ] the one who was the king before you became king, but I will never stop loving your son.
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 cause him to rule over my people [MTY], and his kingdom will endure forever [DOU].’”
15 Na: ida: ne da liligi huluane amo Gode da ema olelei, amo huluane Da: ibidima alofele olelei.
So Nathan reported to David everything that Yahweh had revealed to him.
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 David went [into the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh my God, I am certainly not [RHQ] worthy for you to have done all these things for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
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.
“And O God, now, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations. Yahweh my God, you have acted toward me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
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]? Although you know very well what I am like,
19 Di da amo hou hamomu hanaiba: le amola ilegeiba: le hamosu. Di da nama bagade hou misunu amo olelema: ne, amo hou hamosu.
Yahweh, for my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done these great things [for me], and you have revealed to me these things [that you are promising to do].
20 Ouligisudafa Hina Gode! Di da bagadedafa! Dunu eno Di agoai da hamedafa! Di fawane da Godedafa! Ninia eso huluane amo dawa: i galu.
“Yahweh, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, which is what we have always heard.
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.
And there is no nation in the world like Israel [RHQ]. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you rescued. You performed great and awesome miracles, rescuing our ancestors from [being slaves in] Egypt, and expelling the people of other people-groups [who were in Canaan].
22 Dia da Isala: ili fi amo Dia Fidafa eso huluane esaloma: ne hamoi dagoi. Hina Gode! Di da ilia Godedafa hamoi dagoi.
You have caused us your Israeli people to belong to you forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our God!
23 Amola wali, Hina Godedafa, Dia nama amola nagaga fi ilima hamomusa: ilegele sia: i, amo huluane hamoma.
“And now Yahweh, I pray that you will cause the things that you have promised to do for me and my descendants [MTY] to be fulfilled forever.
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.
When that happens, you [MTY] will be famous forever. And people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, is the God who rules Israel!’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants [MTY] of mine who will rule.
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 revealed to me that you will cause [some of] my descendants to become kings. So I am brave enough to pray like this 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.
Yahweh, you are God! You have promised to do these good things for me.
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.”
And now you, Yahweh, have [promised to] bless my descendants [MTY], in order that they will continue to rule forever. That will happen because you, Yahweh, are the one who has blessed them, and you will keep blessing them forever.”
