1 David chu ama inpia ana umlai in Themgao Nathan chu akou in akom a hitin asei e, “Keimala Cedar thing a kisa innom tah a kacheng in, ahivang in Pakai kitepna thingkong vang chu ponbuh a kisa mai mai noi a ana kikoi in ahi.”
Once David had settled into his palace, he spoke to the prophet Nahum. “Look,” he said, “I'm living in a cedar palace while the Ark of the Lord's Agreement is kept in a tent!”
2 Nathan in adonbut in, “Nalung a um nagel chan chu bollin ajeh chu Pathen in naumpi nai.”
“Do what you think you should, for the God is with you,” Nathan replied.
3 Ahivang in, hicheni jantah chun Pathen in Nathan kom a anasei e,
But that night God told Nathan,
4 “Chenlang kasohpa David kom a gahiltan nangma hi keima umna ding munsem ding chu nahipoi’tin ana sei e.”
“Go and talk to my servant David. Tell him, this is what the Lord says, You are not to build a house for me to live in.
5 Keiman Egypt gam a kon Israel te kahin pui doh nikho apat tunigei in ka insung a kacheng kha hih laiye, Hiti chun ponbuh a kisong houbuh munkhat a kon mun chom chom a kana ki chon le jin ahi.
I have not lived in a house from the time I led Israel out of Egypt until now. I have lived in tents, moving from place to place.
6 Keiman Israel mite toh kilhon khom ding le kamite kelngoi ching a pang lamkai ho kom a jong Cedar thing a kisa in eisah pih diu in jong kana sei kha hyh e.
But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’
7 Tun nangma chen lang kalhachapa David kom a hitin gasei tan, “Van Pakai thanei chungnung in hitin aphong doh e, keiman nangma hi hamhing lah a kelngoi ching a napan na’a kon kapuidoh a kami Israel te chung a lamkai dia kapan sah ding nahi, ati.
So then, go and tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of my people Israel.
8 Chule keiman nangma nache namun jousea kalhonpi jing a, nangma masang a namelmate jouse jong kasuh gam jeng ding leiset chung a mi minthang ho bang a namin kakithan sah ding ahi.
I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have struck down all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.
9 Chule kamite Israel te ding a achen nadiu munjong kapeh ding dettah a lungmongsel a cheng uva koiman jong asuh ling thei loudiu ahi. Namdang ten jong masang a banga asuh mang kit loudiu ahi.
I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,
10 Keiman aphat dungjui a kamite Israel te chung a Lamkai vaihom ding kapan sah jing ding chule namel mateu aboncha kasuh gam ding chuche kal a jong Pakai in naleng gam sung u phatthei aboh ding ahi.
from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.
11 Nahinkho abei nung a napu napate kom a dia nache nungteng jong le keiman nadalhah nason nachilhah te lah a nachapate khat pen kadopsang ding ahi chule aleng gam jong lentah a kaphudoh peh ding ahi.
For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.
12 Amapa chun keima ding a houin khat eisah peh ding chule keiman alenggam laltouna chu aitih chan a kaphudet jing ding ahi.
He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.
13 Hiche mipa ding a chu keima hi apa kahi a ama chu kachapa hiding ahi. Nangma masang a mipa chung a kangailutna kana lahdoh bang a, ama chung a hi kanung lah doh lou ding ahi.
I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of the one who ruled before you.
14 Keiman ama kainsung a le kagamsung a leng a kapan sah ding chule alenggam laltou na chu atonsot geiya kaphudet pih a longlouva umjing ding ahi,” ati.
I will put him in charge of my house and my kingdom forever, and his dynasty will last forever.”
15 Hiti chun Nathan ahung kile in Pakai in amusah thil hojouse chu David kom a ahung seipeh tan ahi.
This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
16 Chuin David alut in Pakai angsung a atao vin hitin asei e, “O Pakai Pathen keima hi koi kahi a chule kainsung mite hi ipi hija hichan gei a neihin pui peh jing u ham?
Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?
17 Tun thil hicheng jouse kal val in jong O Pathen, nalhachapa keima khunung a insung thudol khanggui sotpi hunglhung ding jong neisei doh pih in ahi.
God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. You also see me as someone very important, Lord God.
18 Hitabang a nalhachapa neijabol na hi nangma kom a ipi kasei be nahlai ding ham, nalhachapa keima itobang kahi la neihet soh kei ahitai.
What more can I, David, say to you for honoring me in this way? You know your servant all too well!
19 Nalhachapa keima neigel khoh najal le nalungel lam tah bang in kachung a thil loupi tampi mite muthei jin nabol doh in ahi,
Lord, you're doing all this for me, your servant, and because it's what you want—doing all these amazing things and letting people know about them.
20 O Pakai, nang tabang koima dang aumpoi, nangma tabang Pathen dang jong kanei pouve,
Lord, there really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.
21 Nami Israel nam mite tabang leisetna koidang um am? O Pathen, nangma tah in namite asoh chan nagam a kon in nana huhdoh jeh in namin akithang in ahi, nangman thil kidang tah nabol in namite masang a ding ho jong nana del jam in ahi.
Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.
22 Nangman Israel mite chu nangma mite dih tah mong in nana lheng doh in Pakai nangma chu a Pathen u nahitan ahi,
You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
23 O Pakai tunvang keima nalhacha kahitai, keima le ka insungmi chung chang thua nakitepna bang in bol jeng tan chule hiche kitepna hi aitih chan a ding hita hen.
So now, Lord, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and lasts forever. Please do as you have promised,
24 Nangma min kiphut doh henlang mijousen tonsot'in jana pecheh hen chule Pakai thanei chungnung pen Israel Pathen chu Israel Pathen ahi mong e tia kisei ding, nalhachapa David insung jeng jong nangma angsung a phudet a um ding ahi.
and may your true nature be recognized and honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.
25 O ka Pathen keima hi nangma ang a ngamtah a hungtao a kahi, ajeh chu nalhachapa keima hi ka in ding neisah peh a lenggam khat neitundoh peh ding chu kicheh tah in neimu sah tai.
You, my God, have explained to me, your servant, that you will build me a house. That's why your servant has had the courage to pray to you.
26 O Pakai nangma bou Pathen nahi chule hitabang thilpha tampihi nalhachapa kei ding in kitepna nanei e.
For you, Lord, are God! You are the one who has promised all these good things to your servant.
27 Tunjong nalhachapa insung phatthei naboh a hichu nalhachapa a ding a aitih gei a nangma masang a umjing ding ahi. Ajeh chu O Pakai nangma phathei boh chu ipi hijong le phattheiboh chang jing ding ahi.
So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For when you bless, Lord, it is blessed forever.”
