2 Samuel 7
1 Angraeng mah a taengah kaom misanawk ih ban thung hoiah loisak pongah, siangpahrang loe monghaih to tawnh;
When the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
2 siangpahrang mah tahmaa Nathan khaeah, Kai loe sidar thing hoiah sak ih im ah ka oh, Sithaw ih thingkhong loe kahni imthung ah oh sut, tiah a naa.
the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”
3 Nathan mah siangpahrang khaeah, Na koeh ih hmuen to sah ah, Angraeng loe nang hoi nawnto oh, tiah a naa.
Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
4 To naduem ah, Angraeng ih lok to Nathan khaeah angzoh;
That same night, the LORD’s word came to Nathan, saying,
5 ka tamna David khaeah caeh loe, Tipongah ka ohhaih im nang sak pae han loe?
“Go and tell my servant David, ‘The LORD says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
6 Israel kaminawk Izip prae thung hoiah ka zaehhoihaih na ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, kai loe im ah ka om ai vop; kahni im ah ni ka oh; kai loe ahmuen maeto hoi maeto bangah ka caeh.
For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 Israel kaminawk khae hoi ka caehhaih ahmuen kruek ah, Israel kaminawk pacah hanah lok ka paek ih Israel acaengnawk khaeah, Tipongah ka ohhaih im na sah o ai loe? tiah ka naa vai maw?
In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
8 To pongah vaihi ka tamna David khaeah, Kaimah ih Israel kaminawk uk hanah, tuutoephaih, tuu khongkha thung hoiah nang hae ka lak boeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
Now therefore tell my servant David this: ‘The LORD of Hosts says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.
9 Na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah kang oh thuih moe, na hmaa ah kaom misanawk doeh kang tuk pae boih boeh; vaihi long nuiah kaom kalen koek kaminawk ih ahmin baktih toengah, na hmin to kang lensak.
I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
10 Kaimah ih Israel kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen to ka sak pae moe, nihcae to ka thlingh han, nihcae loe angmacae ih im ah om o tih, poek angpho o mak ai; canghnii ih baktih toengah, nihcae to kasae kaminawk mah pacaekthlaek o mak ai boeh.
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,
11 Lokcaekkungnawk kaimah ih Israel kami ukkung ah ka suek nathuem ih baktih toengah, pacaekthlaek o mak ai boeh; na misanawk thung hoiah kamongah anghakhaih to kang paek. Angraeng mah nang hanah im maeto kang sak pae han, tiah doeh ang thuih.
and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a house.
12 Nang ih aninawk loe akoep boeh, nampanawk khaeah nang hak naah, nang pacoengah na thii ngan hoiah tacawt, na caanawk to ka pathawk moe, anih ih prae to ka caksak han.
When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Anih mah kai ih ahmin hanah im to sah tih, anih prae ukhaih angraeng tangkhang loe dungzan khoek to ka caksak han.
He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 Kai loe anih ih ampa ah ka oh han, anih loe ka capa ah om tih. Anih mah hmuen sah pazae moeng naehaeloe, anih to kaminawk ih thingboeng hoiah ka thuitaek moe, kaminawk mah boh baktiah ka boh han;
I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men;
15 toe na hmaa ah takhoe ving moe, Saul khae hoi ka lak ih baktiah, anih khae ih tahmenhaih to ka la ving mak ai.
but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
16 Na im hoi na ukhaih prae loe dungzan khoek to cak ueloe, na angraeng tangkhang doeh dungzan khoek to angdoe tih, tiah a naa.
Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”
17 Hae hnuksakhaih hoi loknawk baktih toengah, Nathan mah David khaeah thuih pae.
Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.
18 To naah David siangpahrang loe imthungah akun, Angraeng hmaa ah anghnut moe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, kai loe mi aa? Kai ih imthung takoh loe kawbangmaw oh moe, hae tih khoek to nang tapom tahang?
Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
19 Aw Angraeng Sithaw, hae hmuen loe na mikhnukah tidoeh na ai ni; toe na tamna imthung takoh hmabang khosakhaih dan to na thuih coek boeh; Aw Angraeng Sithaw, kaminawk nuiah hae tiah maw kho na khan roe?
This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord GOD!
20 David mah nang khaeah timaw thui thai vop tih? Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na tamna to na panoek,
What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord GOD.
21 na thuih ih lok hoi na koehhaih baktih toengah, na tamna panoeksak hanah, kalen parai hae hmuennawk hae na sak boeh.
For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
22 Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na len parai! Nang baktih mi doeh om ai, tiah kaimacae ih naa hoiah ka thaih o baktih toengah, nang ai ah loe kalah Sithaw roe om ai.
Therefore you are great, LORD God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Sithaw loe angmah hanah kami to pahlong moe, angmah ih ahmin amtuengsak hanah, long ah caeh tathuk, prae kalah kaminawk hoi sithawnawk to nangmah ih kaminawk hmaa hoiah na haek, to tiah kalen parai dawnraihaih to na sak pae, Izip prae thung hoiah na pahlong ih nangmah ih Israel kaminawk baktiah mi maw kaom?
What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 Nangmah ih Israel kaminawk loe, nangmah hanah dungzan ah na caksak, Angraeng, nang loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah na oh.
You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.
25 Vaihiah Aw, Angraeng Sithaw, na thuih ih na tamna hoi a imthung takoh to dungzan khoek to caksak poe ah; na thuih ih lok baktiah sah ah.
“Now, LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
26 To tih nahaeloe na hmin to dungzan khoek to len poe tih; to naah kaminawk mah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng loe, Israel kaminawk ukkung ah oh! tiah thui o tih. Na tamna David imthung takoh doeh na hmaa ah cak tih.
Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’
27 Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw, na tamna khaeah, Nang han im maeto kang sak pae han, tiah nam tuengsak boeh; to pongah na tamna mah nang khaeah hae tiah lawkthuih hanah tha ka lak thaih.
For you, LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
28 Vaihiah Aw Angraeng Sithaw, nang loe Sithaw ah na oh, na loknawk loe loktang ah oh; na tamna khaeah kahoih hae hmuennawk hoiah lok na kam boeh.
“Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
29 To pongah vaihi na tamna imthung takoh tahamhoihaih paek hanah, na palung anghoesak ah, na mikhnukah dungzan khoek to to tiah om poe nasoe; aw Angraeng Sithaw, na thuih tangcae lok baktih toengah, nang ih tahamhoihaih rang hoiah na tamna imthung takoh doeh dungzan khoek to tahamhoihaih hnu nasoe, tiah lawk a thuih.
Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
