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.
It happened that after the king had settled in his house, and after Yahweh had given him rest from all his surrounding 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.
the king said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is staying in the middle 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.
Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do what is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
4 Te kah khoyin ah om tih BOEIPA ol te Nathan taengla a pawk hatah,
But that same night the word of Yahweh 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 tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: Will you build me a house in which to live?
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 lived in a house from the day that I brought up the people of Israel out of Egypt until this present day; instead, I have been moving about in a tent, 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 places where I have moved among all the people of Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built 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.
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.
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.
I have been with you wherever you went. I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the great 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.
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,
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.
as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Now I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, I, Yahweh declare to you that I will make you 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 your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up a descendant after you, one who will come out from your body, 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 kacikngae sak ni.
He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
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 a father to him, and he will be my son. When he sins, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the whipping 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 covenant faithfulness will not leave him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from 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.
Your house and kingdom will be confirmed forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.'”
17 He ol boeih he olphong boeih vanbangla Nathan loh David taengla a thui pah.
Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire 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 sat before Yahweh and said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family that you have brought me to this point?
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.
Now this was a small thing in your sight, Lord Yahweh. You have even spoken about your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Lord Yahweh!
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 can I, David, say to you? You have known your servant, Lord Yahweh.
21 Na ol kong ah ni na lungbuei kah bangla lennah cungkuem na saii. He ni na sal na ming sak.
For your word's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing and revealed it to your servant.
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.
Therefore you are great, Lord Yahweh, for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, as we have heard with our own 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.
What nation is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom you, God, went and rescued for yourself? You did this so that they would become a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself, and to do great and fearful deeds for your land. You drove out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you rescued from Egypt.
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.
You established Israel as your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, 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.
So now, Yahweh God, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. Do as you have spoken.
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.
May your name be forever 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.
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, Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, 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.
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.
Now, Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are trustworthy, and you have made this good promise to your 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.
Now then, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, Lord Yahweh, have said these things, and with your blessing your servant's house will be blessed forever.”
