1 Khokhuen 17
1 David te amah im ah a om van nen tah David loh tonghma Nathan taengah, “Kai he lamphai im ah ka om dae BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng tah himbaiyan hmuiah sut om ke,” a ti nah.
And it comes to pass as David sat in his house, that David says to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH [is] under curtains”;
2 Te vaengah Nathan loh David te, “Pathen he nang taengah om coeng tih na thinko khuikah bangla a cungkuem he saii ngawn,” a ti nah.
and Nathan says to David, “All that [is] in your heart do, for God [is] with you.”
3 Te khoyin ah tah Pathen kah ol te Nathan taengla pawk tih,
And it comes to pass on that night that a word of God is to Nathan, saying,
4 “Cet lamtah ka sal David te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Kai hamla om nah im na sak moenih.
“Go, and you have said to My servant David, Thus said YHWH: You do not build for Me the house to dwell in.
5 Israel ka khuen khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin hil he im khuiah ka om hlan. Tedae dap khat lamloh dap khat neh dungtlungim ah ni ka om.
For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, and I am [going] from tent to tent, and from the Dwelling Place.
6 Israel boeih te a cungkuem dongah ka caeh puei. Israel kah laitloek pakhat taengah ol ka thui coeng te ta? Te te ka pilnam luem puei ham ka uen tih, “Balae tih kai hamla lamphai im na sak uh pawh?” ka ti nah.
Wherever I have walked up and down among all Israel, have I spoken a word with one of [the] judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
7 Te dongah ka sal David taengah he he thui pah laeh. Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh nang te tolkhoeng lamloh, boiva hnuk lamloh ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la om ham kan loh coeng.
And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the habitation, from after the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel,
8 Na caeh nah takuem ah nang te kan om puei. Na thunkha boeih te na mikhmuh lamloh ka khoe. Na ming te diklai kah hlanglen ming la ka khueh ni.
and I am with you wherever you have walked, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a name for you like the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth.
9 Ka pilnam Israel ham hmuen ka khueh vetih anih te ka phung ni. Te vaengah a hmuiah kho a sak vetih tlai voel mahpawh. Lamhma kah bangla anih hmawn sak ham khaw dumlai ca rhoek loh koei uh voel mahpawh.
And I have prepared a place for My people Israel, and planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to wear it out as at first,
10 Ka pilnam Israel soah lai aka tloek la kang uen khohnin lamloh, “Na thunkha boeih te ka kunyun sak bitni. Te phoeiah namah taengkah ka thui bangla BOEIPA loh nang hamla im han sak bitni.
indeed, even from the days that I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I have humbled all your enemies, and I declare to you that YHWH builds a house for you.
11 Na khohnin loh cum tih na pa rhoek taengla na cet cakhaw na tiingan te namah hnukah ka thoh ni. Na ca rhoek taeng lamloh aka om te khaw a ram ka cikngae sak ni.
And it has come to pass, when your days have been fulfilled to go with your fathers, that I have raised up your seed after you, who is of your sons, and I have established his kingdom;
12 Anih loh kai hamla im a sak vetih a ngolkhoel te kumhal duela ka cikngae sak ni.
he builds a house for Me, and I have established his throne for all time;
13 Kai he anih taengah pa la ka om vetih anih khaw kamah taengah capa la om ni. Na hmai ah aka om taeng lamloh ka lat bangla ka sitlohnah he anih taeng lamloh ka lat mahpawh.
I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son, and I do not turn aside My kindness from him as I turned it aside from him who was before you,
14 Anih te kamah im neh ka ram ah kumhal duela ka pai sak ni. A ngolkhoel khaw kumhal duela a cikngae la om ni,” a ti nah.
and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom for all time, and his throne is established for all time.”
15 He ol cungkuem neh hekah mangthui cungkuem bangla Nathan loh David taengah a thui pah tangloeng.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
16 Te phoeiah manghai David te cet tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ngol. Te vaengah Pathen BOEIPA aw kai he unim?, He la kai nan khuen ham akhaw ka imkhui he mebang nim?
And David the king comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, O YHWH God, and what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
17 He tah Pathen namah mikhmuh ah rhaidaeng. Tedae a hlahoei lamkah khaw na sal imkhui ham na thui. Tangtlaeng Pathen BOEIPA loh boeimang hlang la kai nan hmuh.
And this is small in Your eyes, O God, and You speak concerning the house of Your servant far off, and have seen me as a type of the man who is on high, O YHWH God!
18 Na sal thangpomnah ham te namah taengah David loh metlam koep a thap eh? Namah loh na sal he na ming coeng.
What more does David add to You for the honor of Your servant; and You have known Your servant.
19 BOEIPA aw na sal ham kong ah lennah cungkuem te ming sak ham na lungbuei kah bangla lennah cungkuem he na saii.
O YHWH, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart You have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
20 BOEIPA namah bang he om pawt tih Pathen a tloe a om moenih. Tedae namah tah a cungkuem dongah kaimih hna neh kan yaak uh coeng.
O YHWH, there is none like You, and there is no god except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 Diklai ah namtu pakhat khaw na pilnam Israel bangla om nim? Namah ham lennah ming la khueh ham, a pilnam te lat pah ham Pathen loh a paan coeng. Egypt lamkah na lat na pilnam mikhmuh lamloh na haek ham tah namtom loh a rhih.
And who [is] as Your people Israel, one nation in the earth whom God has gone to ransom to Himself for a people, to make a great and fearful name for Yourself, to cast out nations from the presence of Your people whom You have ransomed out of Egypt?
22 Na pilnam Israel te namah ham kumhal kah pilnam la na khueh. BOEIPA namah tah amih kah Pathen la na om pai.
Indeed, You appoint Your people Israel to Yourself for a people for all time, and You, O YHWH, have been to them for God.
23 BOEIPA aw, na sal ham neh a imkhui ham na thui ol te kumhal duela cak pawn saeh. Na thui bangla saii pai laeh.
And now, O YHWH, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, be steadfast for all time, and do as You have spoken;
24 Te dongah na ming te kumhal duela cak vetih pantai ni. “Israel Pathen tah Israel Pathen, caempuei BOEIPA,” a ti pai. Na sal David imkhui khaw na mikhmuh ah cikngae pai saeh.
and let it be steadfast, and Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, [is] God to Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You;
25 Kai kah Pathen namah loh a im sak hamla na sal kah hna he na vueh pah. Te dongah ni na sal loh na mikhmuh ah thangthui ham a hmuh.
for You, O my God, have uncovered the ear of Your servant—to build a house for him, therefore Your servant has found [desire] to pray before You.
26 Pathen amah khaw BOEIPA namah coeng dongah ni hnothen he na sal ham na thui pah.
And now, YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and You speak this goodness concerning Your servant;
27 Na sal imkhui he yoethen sak ham neh na mikhmuh ah kumhal duela om sak ham na mulmet coeng. BOEIPA namah loh yoethen na paek dongah kumhal duela a yoethen.
and now, You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time; for You, O YHWH, have blessed, and it is blessed for all time.”
