2 Samuel 7

1 Manghai te amah im ah om tih kho a sak vaengah anih hamla a kaepvai kah a thunkha boeih te BOEIPA loh a duem sak.

Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;

2 Te vaengah manghai loh tonghma Nathan taengah, “So lah, kamah tah lamphai im dongah kho ka sak coeng, tedae Pathen kah thingkawng tah himbaiyan khui ah sut ngol,” a ti nah.

The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.

3 Te vaengah Nathan loh manghai te, “Na thinko khuikah aka om carhui te tah cet lamtah saii laeh, BOEIPA tah nang taengah om coeng,” a ti nah.

And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.

4 Te kah khoyin ah om tih BOEIPA ol Te Nathan taengla a pawk hatah,

Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

5 “Cet lamtah ka sal David te thui pah. BOEIPA loh, 'Ka om nah ham ka im Te na sa aya?

Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?

6 Egypt lamkah Israel ca ka khuen khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin hil im khuiah kho ka sak moenih. Tedae dap khui neh dungtlungim khuiah ni ka om tih ka van.

For from the day when I took the children of Israel up out of Egypt till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from place to place in a tent.

7 Israel ca rhoek boeih te kho tom ah ka caeh puei. Olka nen khaw Israel koca pakhat khaw ka voek a? Ka pilnam Israel te luem puei ham ka uen rhoek te, 'Balae tih kai ham tah lamphai im na sak pawh,’ ka ti.

In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?

8 Te dongah ka sal David te, “Caempuei rhoek kah BOEIPA loh, 'Kai loh nang Te boiva hnuk lamloh, tolkhoeng lamlom, ka pilnam soah neh Israel soah rhaengsang la om sak ham ni kan loh.

Then say these words to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping the sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people, over my people Israel:

9 Kho tom ah na caeh te namah taengah ka om tih na mikhmuh lamkah na thunkha boeih te ka khoe coeng. Te dongah na ming te diklai hlanglen rhoek kah a ming bangla a tanglue la ka khueh ni.

And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

10 Ka pilnam ham neh Israel ham hmuen ka khueh pah vetih anih te ka phung ni. Te vaengah amah hmuen la om vetih tlai voel mahpawh. Lamhma kah bangla anih phaep ham khaw dumlai koca rhoek loh koei uh mahpawh.

And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be living in the place which is theirs, and never again be moved; and never again will they be troubled by evil men as they were at the first,

11 Te khohnin van lamloh ka pilnam Israel soah lai aka tloek la kang uen coeng. Te dongah na thunkha cungkuem khui lamloh nang te kan duem sak ni. BOEIPA Te nang taengah a puen bangla BOEIPA loh nang ham im a thoh ni.

From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will give you peace from all who are against you. And the Lord says to you that he will make you the head of a line of kings.

12 Na khohnin a cup vaengah na pa rhoek taengla na khoem uh ni. Namah hnukkah na tii na ngan, na bung khui lamkah aka thoeng te ka thoh vetih a ram te ka pai sak ni.

And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.

13 Ka ming ham Te anih loh im a sak ni vetih a ram kah ngolkhoel te kumhal duela ka cikngae sak ni.

He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

14 Kamah he a napa la ka om vetih, anih khaw ka ca la om ni. A paihaeh vaengah anih Te hlang kah caitueng neh, Adam ca rhoek kah tlohtat neh ka tluung ni.

I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;

15 Tedae ka sitlohnah he Saul taeng lamloh ka lat tih na mikhmuh lamloh ka khoe bangla anih taeng lamloh ka khoe mahpawh.

But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

16 Na im neh na ram tah na mikhmuh ah kumhal duela cak vetih na ngolkhoel khaw kumhal due a cikngae la om ni,” a ti,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.

And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.

17 He ol boeih he olphong boeih vanbangla Nathan loh David taengla a thui pah.

So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

18 Te dongah manghai David te kun tih, BOEIPA hmaiah ngol. Te phoeiah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw Kai he unim? he duela kai nang khuen ham akhaw, kai imkhui he me tlam a om.

Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?

19 Hekah he ka Boeipa Yahovah kah na mikhmuh ah rhaidaeng pueng atah na sal kah imkhui te na thui mai. Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw hlang kah olkhueng he tah hlavak om coeng.

And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!

20 Namah taengah thui ham khaw David loh ba nen nim a thap khovoeh ve. Na sal te ka Boeipa Yahovah namah loh na ming.

What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant, O Lord God.

21 Na ol kong ah ni na lungbuei kah bangla lennah cungkuem na saii. He ni na sal na ming sak.

Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.

22 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah na len pai. Kaimih hna neh boeih ka yaak uh vanbangla namah phoeiah tah namah bangla aka om om pawh, Pathen tloe khaw om pawh.

Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

23 Diklai ah Israel bangla, na pilnam aka tluk namtu pakhat khaw unim aka om? Te tah a pilnam la lat ham neh amah ming la khueh ham Pathen cet coeng. Na lennah na saii ham dongah na khohmuen ham tah na pilnam mikhmuh ah rhih uh pai. Te tah namtom Egypt neh a pathen rhoek taeng lamloh namah hamla na lat.

And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?

24 Na pilnam khaw namah ham, Israel khaw namah kah kumhal pilnam la na cikngae sak. Te dongah ni BOEIPA namah tah amih kah Pathen la na om pai.

But you took and made strong for yourself your people Israel, to be your people for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.

25 BOEIPA Pathen aw na sal ham neh a imkhui ham ol na thui coeng. Na thui bangla kumhal duela thoh puei lamtah saii laeh.

And now, O Lord God, may the word which you have said about your servant and about his family, be made certain for ever, and may you do as you have said!

26 Te dongah BOEIPA Caempuei Pathen tah na ming kumhal duela len ti pai saeh. Israel so neh na sal David imkhui Te na mikhmuh ah cikngae la a om thil ni.

And let your name be made great for ever, and let men say, The Lord of armies is God over Israel: and let the family of David your servant be made strong before you!

27 Israel kah Caempuei Pathen BOEIPA namah loh na sal kah a hna te na hnacueh pah tih, 'Nang hamla im ka sa ni, ' a ti. Te dongah ni na taengah hekah thangthuinah neh thangthui ham khaw na sal kah a lungbuei loh a hmuh.

For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.

28 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah tah Pathen la na om pai. Na ol khaw oltak la om tih, a then he ni na sal taengah na thui.

And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;

29 Na sal imkhui te na mikhmuh ah kumhal om sak ham mulmet lamtah a yoethen sak. Ka Boeipa Yahovah na thui coeng dongah namah kah yoethennah neh na sal imkhui he kumhal duela a yoethen ni.

So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it, ) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!
