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.
And it came to pass when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest round about from all his enemies,
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.
that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of God dwells under curtains.
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, do all that is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee.
4 Te kah khoyin ah om tih BOEIPA ol te Nathan taengla a pawk hatah,
And it came to pass that night that the word of Jehovah 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, to David, Thus saith Jehovah: Wilt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?
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 I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but I went about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
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 my going about with all the children of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?
8 “Te dongah ka sal David te, ‘Caempuei rhoek kah BOEIPA loh, “Kai loh nang te boiva hnuk lamloh, tolkhoeng lamloh, ka pilnam soah neh Israel soah rhaengsang la om sak ham ni kan loh.
And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over 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 thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are on 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 appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness afflict them any more, as formerly,
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.
and since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I have given thee rest from all thine enemies; and Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house.
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.
When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Ka ming ham te anih loh im a sak ni vetih a ram kah ngolkhoel te kumhal duela ka cikngae sak ni.
It is he who shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom 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 his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons 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 shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before thee.
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 thy house and thy kingdom shall be made firm for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17 He ol boeih he olphong boeih vanbangla Nathan loh David taengla a thui pah.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
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.
And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
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 la om coeng.
And yet this hath been a small thing in thy sight, Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, Lord Jehovah?
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.
And what can David say more to thee? for thou, Lord Jehovah, knowest thy servant.
21 Na ol kong ah ni na lungbuei kah bangla lennah cungkuem na saii. He ni na sal na ming sak.
For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make thy servant know [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.
Wherefore thou art great, Jehovah Elohim; for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with 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 who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
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.
And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become 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, Jehovah Elohim, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, fulfil it for ever, and do as thou hast 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 thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
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 thou, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
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, Lord Jehovah, thou art that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;
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.”
and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
