2 Samuel 7
1 Bangʼe ka ruoth nosedonjo e ode mar ruoth kendo Jehova Nyasaye nosemiye kwe e kinde gi wasike duto mane olwore,
When the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
2 nowacho ni Nathan janabi niya, “Koro anto adak e od ruoth moger gi yiend sida, to Sandug muma mar Nyasaye to osiko e hema.”
the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”
3 Nathan nodwoko ruoth niya, “Gimoro amora manie pachi, to dhi nyime mondo itim, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ni kodi.”
Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
4 Otienono wach mar Jehova Nyasaye ne obiro ni Nathan, kawacho niya,
That same night, Yahweh’s word came to Nathan, saying,
5 “Dhiyo mondo inyis jatichna Daudi niya, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: In ema digerna ot mondo adagie?
“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
6 Pok adak e ot chakre ndalo mane agolo jo-Israel e piny Misri nyaka kawuono. Asebedo kawuotho kuonde miguroe hema mopogore kaka kar dakna.
For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 Kuonde duto masewuothoe gi jo-Israel duto, bende asewachoe gimoro ni jotendgi mane aketo mondo orit joga Israel niya, “Angʼo momiyo pok ugerona ot mar yiend sida?”’
In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
8 “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 tell my servant David this: ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.
9 Asebedo kodi kuonde duto misedhiye, kendo asetieko wasiki duto e nyimi. Koro abiro miyo nyingi bed maduongʼ kaka humb jomadongo manie piny.
I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
10 Kendo abiro chiwo piny ni joga Israel, abiro gurogi mondo gibed gi pinygi giwegi mondo kik chandgi kendo. Jomahundu ok nochak osandgi kendo kaka negitimonegi mokwongo,
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,
11 kendo kaka gisetimo nyaka chakre ne ayier jotelo marito joga Israel. Bende abiro miyo ibed gi kwe e kindi gi wasiki duto. “‘Jehova Nyasaye owacho ni en Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema obiro geroni ot.
and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.
12 Ka ndaloni orumo mitho kendo iluwo kwereni to abiro keto kothi moro mondo okaw kari, manobed kothi owuon kendo anagur pinyruodhe.
When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 En ema noger ot ni nyinga, kendo anagur lochne gi pinyruodhe nyaka chiengʼ.
He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 Anabed wuon-gi to enobed wuoda. Ka otimo marach, to anakume, ka achwade gi lwet dhano kendo noyud chwat koa kuom ji.
I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men;
15 To herana to ok nogol kuome kaka ne agole kuom Saulo, mane agolo e nyimi.
but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
16 Odi gi pinyruodhi nosik nyaka chiengʼ e nyima kendo lochni nogurre nyaka chiengʼ.’”
Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”
17 Nathan nonyiso Daudi weche duto mane ofwenyne.
Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.
18 Eka ruoth Daudi nodonjo e hema mobet piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mowacho niya, “An to an ngʼa? Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, jooda to gin angʼo, momiyo isetimona gigi duto?
Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
19 To ka gima kamano ok oromo e nyim wangʼi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, to isewuoyo kuom gik mabiro timore e od jatichni kinde mabiro. Bende ma e kaka itiyo gi dhano, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto?
This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord Yahweh!
20 “En angʼo ma Daudi dimed wachoni? Nimar ingʼeyo jatichni, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.
What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.
21 Nikech wach misewacho kendo koluwore gi dwaroni, isetimo tim maduongʼni bende isemiyo ongʼere ni jatichni.
For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
22 “Mano kaka iduongʼ yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto! Onge ngʼama chalo kodi, kendo onge Nyasaye moro makmana in, kaka wasewinjo gi itwa wawegi?
Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Ere oganda machal gi jogi Israel? Bende nitiere oganda moro e piny mane Nyasaye osedhi moreso mondo obed joge owuon kendo mosemiyogo nyinge ongʼere mi otimogo honni madongo kendo malich koriembo ogendini gi nyisechegi ka gia e nyim joge, mane oreso kogolo Misri?
What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 Iseguro loch jogi ma jo-Israel kaka jogi iwuon nyaka chiengʼ to in yaye Jehova Nyasaye isebedo Nyasachgi.
You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
25 “To koro Jehova Nyasaye rit singruok misetimo gi jatichni kod ode osik nyaka chiengʼ. Tim mana kaka ne isingori,
“Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
26 mondo nyingi obed maduongʼ nyaka chiengʼ. Eka ji biro wacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye Maratego en Nyasach jo-Israel!’ Kendo dhood jatichni Daudi nogurre e nyimi.
Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’
27 “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, isefwenyo ni jatichni wechegi kiwacho ni, ‘Abiro geroni ot.’ Omiyo jatichni osebet gi chir mar lami gi lemoni.
For you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
28 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, in Nyasaye! Wecheni ogen, kendo isesingo gik mabeyogi ni jatichni.
“Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
29 To koro yie mondo igwedh od jatichni, mondo osik e nyimi nyaka chiengʼ; nimar, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, isewuoyo to gi gwethni, isegwedho dhood jatichni gweth mosiko.”
Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
