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.
It happened that after the king had settled in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is staying under a tent.”
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.
Then Nathan said to David, “Go, do what is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 Te khoyin ah tah Pathen kah ol te Nathan taengla pawk tih,
But that same night the word of God came 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 tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: You will not build me a house in which to live.
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 lived in a house from the day that I brought up Israel to this present day. Instead, I have been living in a tent, a tabernacle, in various places.
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.
In all places I have moved among all Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd my people, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”'”
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.
“Now then, tell my servant David, 'This is what Yahweh of hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, so that you would be ruler 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.
I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are on 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.
I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them there, so that they may live in their own place and be troubled no more. No longer will wicked people oppress them, as they did before,
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.
as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Then I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that I, Yahweh, will build you a house.
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.
It will come about that when your days are fulfilled for you to go to your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, and for one of your own descendants, I will establish his kingdom.
12 Anih loh kai hamla im a sak vetih a ngolkhoel te kumhal duela ka cikngae sak ni.
He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
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 will be a father to him, and he will be my son. I will not take my covenant faithfulness away from him, as I took it from Saul, who ruled 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.
I will set him over my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.'”
15 He ol cungkuem neh hekah mangthui cungkuem bangla Nathan loh David taengah a thui pah tangloeng.
Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire vision.
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?
Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family, that you have brought me to this point?
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.
For this was a small thing in your sight, God. You have spoken of your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Yahweh 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 can I, David, say to you? You have honored your servant. You have given your servant special recognition.
19 BOEIPA aw na sal ham kong ah lennah cungkuem te ming sak ham na lungbuei kah bangla lennah cungkuem he na saii.
Yahweh, for your servant's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing to reveal all your great deeds.
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.
Yahweh, there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, just as we have always heard.
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.
For what nation on earth is like your people Israel, whom you, God, rescued from Egypt as a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself by great and awesome deeds? You drove out nations from before your people, whom you rescued from Egypt.
22 Na pilnam Israel te namah ham kumhal kah pilnam la na khueh. BOEIPA namah tah amih kah Pathen la na om pai.
You made Israel your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, became their 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.
So now, Yahweh, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. 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.
May your name be established forever and be great, so the people will say, 'Yahweh of hosts is the God of Israel,' while the house of me, David, your servant 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, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. That is why I, your servant, have found courage to pray to you.
26 Pathen amah khaw BOEIPA namah coeng dongah ni hnothen he na sal ham na thui pah.
Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have made this good promise to 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.
Now it has pleased you to bless your servant's house, that it may continue forever before you. You, Yahweh, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
