1 Chronicles 17

1 After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”

David te amah im ah a om van nen tah David loh tonghma Nathan taengah, “Kai he lamphai im ah ka om dae BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng tah himbaiyan hmuiah sut om ke,” a ti nah.

2 And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”

Te vaengah Nathan loh David te, “Pathen he nang taengah om coeng tih na thinko khuikah bangla a cungkuem he saii ngawn,” a ti nah.

3 But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

Te khoyin ah tah Pathen kah ol te Nathan taengla pawk tih,

4 “Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.

“Cet lamtah ka sal David te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai hamla om nah im na sak moenih.

5 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.

Israel ka khuen khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin hil he im khuiah ka om hlan. Tedae dap khat lamloh dap khat neh dungtlungim ah ni ka om.

6 In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’

Israel boeih te a cungkuem dongah ka caeh puei. Israel kah laitloek pakhat taengah ol ka thui coeng te ta? Te te ka pilnam luem puei ham ka uen tih, “Balae tih kai hamla lamphai im na sak uh pawh?” ka ti nah.

7 Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.

Te dongah ka sal David taengah he he thui pah laeh. Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nang te tolkhoeng lamloh, boiva hnuk lamloh ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la om ham kan loh coeng.

8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.

Na caeh nah takuem ah nang te kan om puei. Na thunkha boeih te na mikhmuh lamloh ka khoe. Na ming te diklai kah hlanglen ming la ka khueh ni.

9 And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning

Ka pilnam Israel ham hmuen ka khueh vetih anih te ka phung ni. Te vaengah a hmuiah kho a sak vetih tlai voel mahpawh. Lamhma kah bangla anih hmawn sak ham khaw dumlai ca rhoek loh koei uh voel mahpawh.

10 and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.

Ka pilnam Israel soah lai aka tloek la kang uen khohnin lamloh, “Na thunkha boeih te ka kunyun sak bitni. Te phoeiah namah taengkah ka thui bangla BOEIPA loh nang hamla im han sak bitni.

11 And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

Na khohnin loh cum tih na pa rhoek taengla na cet cakhaw na tiingan te namah hnukah ka thoh ni. Na ca rhoek taeng lamloh aka om te khaw a ram ka cikngae sak ni.

12 He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.

Anih loh kai hamla im a sak vetih a ngolkhoel te kumhal duela ka cikngae sak ni.

13 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.

Kai he anih taengah pa la ka om vetih anih khaw kamah taengah capa la om ni. Na hmai ah aka om taeng lamloh ka lat bangla ka sitlohnah he anih taeng lamloh ka lat mahpawh.

14 But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”

Anih te kamah im neh ka ram ah kumhal duela ka pai sak ni. A ngolkhoel khaw kumhal duela a cikngae la om ni,” a ti nah.

15 So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.

He ol cungkuem neh hekah mangthui cungkuem bangla Nathan loh David taengah a thui pah tangloeng.

16 Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

Te phoeiah manghai David te cet tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ngol. Te vaengah Pathen BOEIPA aw kai he unim?, He la kai nan khuen ham akhaw ka imkhui he mebang nim?

17 And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God, You have spoken about the future of the house of Your servant and have regarded me as a man of great distinction, O LORD God.

He tah Pathen namah mikhmuh ah rhaidaeng. Tedae a hlahoei lamkah khaw na sal imkhui ham na thui. Tangtlaeng Pathen BOEIPA loh boeimang hlang la kai nan hmuh.

18 What more can David say to You for so honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant,

Na sal thangpomnah ham te namah taengah David loh metlam koep a thap eh? Namah loh na sal he na ming coeng.

19 O LORD. For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed all Your greatness.

BOEIPA aw na sal ham kong ah lennah cungkuem te ming sak ham na lungbuei kah bangla lennah cungkuem he na saii.

20 O LORD, there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.

BOEIPA namah bang he om pawt tih Pathen a tloe a om moenih. Tedae namah tah a cungkuem dongah kaimih hna neh kan yaak uh coeng.

21 And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.

Diklai ah namtu pakhat khaw na pilnam Israel bangla om nim? Namah ham lennah ming la khueh ham, a pilnam te lat pah ham Pathen loh a paan coeng. Egypt lamkah na lat na pilnam mikhmuh lamloh na haek ham tah namtom loh a rhih.

22 For You have made Your people Israel Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.

Na pilnam Israel te namah ham kumhal kah pilnam la na khueh. BOEIPA namah tah amih kah Pathen la na om pai.

23 And now, O LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,

BOEIPA aw, na sal ham neh a imkhui ham na thui ol te kumhal duela cak pawn saeh. Na thui bangla saii pai laeh.

24 so that Your name will be established and magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.

Te dongah na ming te kumhal duela cak vetih pantai ni. “Israel Pathen tah Israel Pathen, caempuei BOEIPA,” a ti pai. Na sal David imkhui khaw na mikhmuh ah cikngae pai saeh.

25 For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found the courage to pray before You.

Kai kah Pathen namah loh a im sak hamla na sal kah hna he na vueh pah. Te dongah ni na sal loh na mikhmuh ah thangthui ham a hmuh.

26 And now, O LORD, You are God! And You have promised this goodness to Your servant.

Pathen amah khaw BOEIPA namah coeng dongah ni hnothen he na sal ham na thui pah.

27 So now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”

Na sal imkhui he yoethen sak ham neh na mikhmuh ah kumhal duela om sak ham na mulmet coeng. BOEIPA namah loh yoethen na paek dongah kumhal duela a yoethen.
