2 Samuel 7
1 Angraeng mah a taengah kaom misanawk ih ban thung hoiah loisak pongah, siangpahrang loe monghaih to tawnh;
And it cometh to pass, when the king sat in his house, and Jehovah hath given rest to him round about, from all his enemies,
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.
that the king saith unto Nathan the prophet, 'See, I pray thee, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.'
3 Nathan mah siangpahrang khaeah, Na koeh ih hmuen to sah ah, Angraeng loe nang hoi nawnto oh, tiah a naa.
And Nathan saith unto the king, 'All that [is] in thine heart — go, do, for Jehovah [is] with thee.'
4 To naduem ah, Angraeng ih lok to Nathan khaeah angzoh;
And it cometh to pass in that night, that the word of Jehovah is unto Nathan, saying,
5 ka tamna David khaeah caeh loe, Tipongah ka ohhaih im nang sak pae han loe?
'Go, and thou hast said unto My servant, unto David, Thus said Jehovah, Dost thou build for Me a house for My dwelling 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 dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this day, and am walking up and down 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?
During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, a word have I spoken with one of the tribes of Israel which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, 'Why have ye not built to Me a house of cedars?
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.
and now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the comely place, from after the flock, to be leader 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.
and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and I cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a great name, as 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.
and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it hath tabernacled in its place, and it is not troubled any more, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it any more, as in the beginning,
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.
even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to thee from all thine enemies, and Jehovah hath declared to thee that Jehovah doth make for thee 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 thy days are full, and thou hast lain with thy fathers, then I have raised up thy seed after thee which goeth out from thy bowels, and have established 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 doth build a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom unto the age.
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 am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
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.
and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee,
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.
and stedfast [is] thy house and thy kingdom unto the age before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.'
17 Hae hnuksakhaih hoi loknawk baktih toengah, Nathan mah David khaeah thuih pae.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.
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?
And king David cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, 'Who [am] I, Lord Jehovah? and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
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?
And yet this [is] little in Thine eyes, Lord Jehovah, and Thou dost speak also concerning the house of Thy servant afar off; and this [is] the law of the Man, Lord Jehovah.
20 David mah nang khaeah timaw thui thai vop tih? Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na tamna to na panoek,
And what doth David add more to speak unto Thee? and Thou, Thou hast known Thy servant, Lord Jehovah.
21 na thuih ih lok hoi na koehhaih baktih toengah, na tamna panoeksak hanah, kalen parai hae hmuennawk hae na sak boeh.
Because of Thy word, and according to Thy heart, Thou hast done all this greatness, to cause Thy servant to 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 Thou hast been great, Jehovah God, for there is none like Thee, and there is no God save Thee, 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?
'And who [is] as Thy people, as Israel — one nation in the earth, whom God hath gone to redeem to Him for a people, and to make for Him a name — and to do for you the greatness — even fearful things for Thy land, at the presence of Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed to Thee out of Egypt — [among 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.
Yea, Thou dost establish to Thee Thy people Israel, to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, Jehovah, hast been to them for 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.
'And now, Jehovah God, the word which Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, establish unto the age, and do as Thou hast 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.
And Thy Name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee,
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 Thou, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant, saying, A house I build for thee, therefore hath Thy servant found his heart to pray unto Thee this prayer;
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.
And now, Lord Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thy words are truth, and Thou speakest unto Thy servant this goodness,
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.
And now, begin and bless the house of Thy servant, to be unto the age before Thee, for Thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken, and by Thy blessing is the house of Thy servant blessed — to the age.'
