1 Weche Mag Ndalo 17

1 Bangʼ ka Daudi nosedonjo e ode mar ruoth, nowacho ni Nathan janabi niya, “Koro anto adak e od ruoth moger gi yiend sida, to Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye to osiko e bwo hema.”

And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his house, that David said unto Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under curtains.

2 Nathan nodwoko Daudi niya, “gimoro amora manie chunyi to dhi nyime mondo itim nikech Nyasaye ni kodi.”

And Nathan said unto David, All that is in thy heart do; for God is with thee.

3 Otienono wach mar Nyasaye nobiro ni Nathan kawacho niya,

And it came to pass during that night, that the word of God came unto Nathan, saying,

4 “Dhiyo mondo inyis jatichna Daudi niya, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: In ok nigerna ot mondo adagie.

Go and say unto David my servant, Thus hath said the Lord, Not thou shalt build for me the house to dwell in;

5 Pok adak e ot chakre ndalo mane agolo jo-Israel e piny Misri nyaka kawuono. Asebedo kawuotho e kuonde mogurie hema ka adar e kuonde dak mopogore.

For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel even until this day; but have been [moving] from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].

6 Kuonde duto masewuothoe gi jo-Israel duto, bende asewachoe ni jotendgi mane aketo jokwadh joga niya, “Angʼo momiyo pok ugerona ot mar yiend sida?”’

In all the places where I moved about among all Israel, did I speak a word to any one of the judges of Israel, whom I had ordained to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built for me a house of cedar?

7 “Omiyo koro wach ni jatichna Daudi niya, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kama: Ne agoli e lek kuma ne ikwayoe rombe mondo ibed jatend joga Israel.

Now therefore, thus shalt thou say unto my servant, to David, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I took thee away from the sheepcote, from behind the flocks, to be a ruler over my people Israel;

8 Asebedo kodi kuonde duto misedhiye, kendo asetieko wasiki duto e nyimi. Koro abiro miyo nyingi bed kaka humb jomadongo manie piny.

And I have been with thee withersoever thou didst go, and I have cut off all thy enemies from thy presence, and I have made thee a name; like the name of the great men who are on the earth;

9 Kendo abiro chiwo piny ni joga Israel kendo abiro gurogi mondo gibed gi pinygi giwegi mondo kik chandgi kendo. Jomahundu ok nochak osandgi kendo kaka negitimonegi mokwongo,

And I have procured a place for my people Israel, and I have planted them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be no more troubled; and that the children of wickedness shall not waste them any more, as aforetimes,

10 kendo kaka gisetimo nyaka chakre ne ayier jotelo marito joga Israel. Bende abiro loyo wasiki duto. “‘Awachoni ni Jehova Nyasaye biro geroni ot:

And [as it was] since the time that I ordained judges to be over my people Israel; and I have humbled all thy enemies; and now I tell thee that the Lord will build for thee a house.

11 Ka ndaloni orumo mitho kendo iluwo kwereni, to abiro keto kothi moro mondo okaw kari, achiel kuom yawuoti minywolo kendo anagur pinyruodhe.

And it shall come to pass, that, when thy days will be completed that thou must go [to sleep] with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

12 En ema noger ot ni nyinga kendo anagur lochne osik nyaka chiengʼ.

He it is that shall build for me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

13 Anabed wuon-gi, to enobed wuoda. Ok nagol herana kuome kaka ne agolo herana kuom ruoth mane ikawo loch kuome.

I too will be to him as a father, and he shall indeed be unto me as a son: and my kindness will I not cause to depart from him, as I caused it to depart from him that was before thee;

14 Anakete motegno e oda kendo kuom pinyruodhe nyaka chiengʼ, lochne nogur motegno manyaka chiengʼ.’”

But I will place him firmly in my house and in my kingdom for evermore; and his throne shall be established for ever.

15 Nathan nonyiso Daudi weche duto mane ofwenyne.

In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

16 Eka Ruoth Daudi nodonjo e hema mobet piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mowacho niya, “An to an ngʼa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, to jooda to gin ngʼa gini momiyo isetimona gigi duto?

Then went king David in and sat down before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me as far as hitherward?

17 To ka gima kamano ok oromo e nyim wangʼi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, to isewuoyo kuom gima biro timore e od jatichni. Isengʼiya mana ka gima an ngʼat motingʼ malo moloyo ji duto, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.

And this was [yet] too small a thing in thy eyes, O God, and thou hast spoken concerning thy servant's house for a distant time, and hast regarded me as though I belonged to the rank of a man of high degree, O Lord God.

18 “En angʼo ma Daudi dimed wachoni kuom duongʼ ma isemiyo jatichni? Nikech ingʼeyo jatichni,

What can David add yet more [to speak] unto thee of the honor of thy servant? since thou knowest well thy servant.

19 yaye Jehova Nyasaye. Nikech wach misewacho kendo koluwore gi dwaroni, isetimo tim maduongʼni bende isemiyo singruok madongogi ongʼere.

O Lord, for the sake of thy servant, and in accordance with thy own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, to make known all these great things.

20 “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, onge ngʼama chalo kodi kendo onge Nyasaye moro makmana in, mana kaka wasewinjo gi itwa wawegi.

O Lord, there is none like thee, and there is no god beside thee, in accordance with all that we have heard with our ears.

21 Ere oganda machal gi jogi Israel? Bende nitiere oganda moro mane Nyasache osedhi moreso ka gin wasumbini milokogi jogi? Donge isemiyo nyingi duongʼ kuom timbe madongo kendo malich, nimar iseriembo ogendini mamoko e nyim jogi mane ireso kigolo Misri?

And who is like thy people Israel, the only nation on the earth which God went to redeem for himself as a people, to acquire for thyself a name for great and terrible deeds, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hadst redeemed out of Egypt?

22 Ne imiyo jogi ma jo-Israel obedo jogi iwuon nyaka chiengʼ to bende in Jehova Nyasaye isebedo Nyasachgi.

And thou hast instituted thy people Israel unto thyself as a people for ever; and thou, Lord, art indeed become their God.

23 “To koro Jehova Nyasaye, mi singruok misetimo kuom jatichni kod ode mondo ogurre nyaka chiengʼ. Tim mana kaka ne isingori,

And now, O Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be verified for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.

24 mondo mi ogurre kendo nyingi obed maduongʼ nyaka chiengʼ. Eka ji biro wacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, en Nyasach jo-Israel!’ Kendo dhood jatichni Daudi nogurre e nyimi.

Yea, let it be verified, and let thy name be magnified unto everlasting, that men may say, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God for Israel; and may the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

25 “In, Nyasacha isefwenyo ni jatichni ni ibiro gerona ot omiyo jatichni osebet gi chir mondo olami.

For thou, O my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build for him a house; therefore hath thy servant found himself able to pray before thee.

26 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in e Nyasaye! Kendo isesingo gik mabeyogi ni jatichni.

And now, O Lord, thou art the [true] God, and thou hast spoken concerning thy servant this goodness:

27 Emomiyo iseyie mondo igwedh od jatichni mondo osik e nyimi nyaka chiengʼ nikech isegwedhe kendo inigwedhe nyaka chiengʼ, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.”

And now hast thou been pleased to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord, hast blessed, and [it will remain] blessed for ever.
