1 Setouknae 17
1 Hahoi Devit teh im ao nah profet Nathan koe Devit ni khenhaw! kai teh sidar thing im dawk ka o. Hateiteh BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong teh lukkarei rim dawk ao telah atipouh.
NOW it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains.
2 Nathan ni Devit koe, na lungthin dawk kaawm e patetlah sak yawkaw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nang koe Cathut ao telah atipouh.
Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
3 Hateiteh, hatnae karum dawkvah, Nathan koe Cathut e lawk teh a tho.
And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 Ka san Devit hah dei pouh. BAWIPA ni hettelah ati. Ka o nahanelah nang ni im na sak pouh mahoeh.
Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhai hnin hoi atu totouh im dawk awm laipalah lukkarei rim hoi buet touh hoi buet touh ka kampuen teh ouk ka o.
For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6 Isarelnaw hoi ka ceinae tangkuem dawk hai ka taminaw khoum hanelah kâ na poe e Isarelnaw lawkcengkungnaw koevah, bang dawk maw sidar thing im sak pouh hoeh telah ka ti boihoeh vaw.
Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
7 Hatdawkvah, ka san Devit koe hettelah na dei pouh han. ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Tu pânae hmuen tu na khoumnae koehoi ka tami Isarelnaw dawk siangpahrang lah o hane na la teh,
Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
8 Na cei nah tangkuem dawk nang koe ka o. Na tarannaw hai na tâ pouh, talai dawk ka lentoe poung e na min ka lentoe sak han.
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
9 Hothloilah, ka tami Isarelnaw hane hmuen ka rawi vaiteh, yuengyoe kampuen toung laipalah, amamae hmuen koe kho a sak thai nahanelah, ahnimouh teh ka ung han.
Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
10 Yampa hai ka tami Isarelnaw dawk lawkcengkung ka ta pouh nah hai, kahawihoehe canaw ni rep a coungroe awh e patetlah runae poe awh laipalah, na tarannaw pueng hai koung ka sung sak han. Hothloilah, BAWIPA ni na imthungnaw a kangdue sak han telah na dei pouh awh.
And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house.
11 Hahoi na hnin a pout torei na mintoenaw koe na cei navah, hettelah ao han. Nama dawk hoi ka tâcawt e na capa buet touh ni a kangdue vaiteh, a uknaeram ka caksak han.
And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12 Ahni ni im na sak pouh vaiteh, a bawitungkhung hai a yungyoe ka caksak han.
He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
13 Hattorei a na pa lah ka o vaiteh, ahni hai ka capa lah ao han. Nang koe ka lungma e ka lae patetlah ahni koe e bout ka lat mahoeh toe.
I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
14 Ka im hoi ka uknaeram teh ahni koe yungyoe ka caksak han. A bawitungkhung hai a yungyoe ka caksak han telah ati.
But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
15 Hete lawknaw pueng hoi vision pueng teh, Nathan ni Devit koe a dei pouh.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
16 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang Devit ni a kâen teh, BAWIPA e hmalah a tahung nah laihoi, Oe BAWIPA Cathut, bangpatet lae tami lah maw ka o teh, ka imthung hai bangpatet lae tami lah maw ao awh teh, hettelah totouh na tawm teh na hrawi.
And David the king came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 Oe Cathut hete hno heh na mit dawk hno kathoengcae doeh. Hahoi Oe BAWIPA Cathut, na san imthung hma lae kong hah kum moikasaw hane na dei toung dawkvah, kangduenae hmuen ka rasang e tami buet touh lah na pouk.
And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God.
18 Na san bari lah onae kong dawkvah, Devit ni nang koe bangmaw ka dei han rah, bangkongtetpawiteh, na san hah na panue.
What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
19 Oe BAWIPA, na san kecu dawk na lungthin dawk kaawm e patetlah ka lentoe e hno na sak teh, tami pueng na panue sak.
O Lord, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20 Oe BAWIPA, hnâ hoi ka thainae dawkvah, nama patetlae khoeroe awm hoeh. Nama laipalah Cathut alouke khoeroe awm hoeh.
O Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 Izip ram hoi na ratang e taminaw e hmalah, Jentelnaw na pâlei e hnin ka lentoe e hah, kângairunae na sak e dawk hoi, namae min lentoenae kamnue sak hanelah, Cathut ni amae tami lah o thai nahanelah ratang han a ngai e Isarelnaw patet e talai van miphun alouke ao boimaw.
And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
22 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tami Isarelnaw teh yungyoe na tami lah o hane na sak e doeh. Hatdawkvah, nama teh ahnimae BAWIPA Cathut lah na o.
For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God.
23 Oe BAWIPA, na san kong hoi na imthung kong dawkvah, na dei e teh, yungyoe hanelah caksak nateh, na dei e patetlah caksak yawkaw.
Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
24 Hahoi, ransabawi Cathut, Isarel Cathut teh Isarel Cathut doeh telah na min teh, a yungyoe caksak nateh, pholennae awm seh. Na san Devit imthungnaw teh, na hmalah cak naseh.
Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
25 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe ka Cathut, na san koevah na imthung ka kangdue sak han telah na kamnue sak toe. Hatdawkvah, na san ni nama koe ka ratoum ngamnae doeh.
For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
26 Oe BAWIPA nama teh Cathut lah na o dawk na hawinae teh, na san koe lawk yo na kam toe.
And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
27 Na san imthungnaw heh na hmalah a yungyoe ao thai awh nahanelah, yawhawinae na poe toe. Bangdawk tetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA nama ni yaw na hawi sak e teh, yungyoe yawhawinae doeh telah ati.
Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever.
