2 Samuel 7
1 After the king had settled into his palace and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him,
Na rĩrĩ, thuutha wa mũthamaki gũikara nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki, nake Jehova akamũhe ũhurũko agatiga gũũkĩrĩrwo nĩ thũ ciake ciothe iria ciamũrigiicĩirie-rĩ,
2 he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”
akĩĩra mũnabii Nathani atĩrĩ, “Niĩ njikaraga nyũmba ya ũthamaki yaakĩtwo na mĩtarakwa, o rĩrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai rĩigĩtwo hema-inĩ.”
3 And Nathan replied to the king, “Go and do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
Nathani agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũrĩa ũreciiria, gwĩka ĩka guo tondũ Jehova arĩ hamwe nawe.”
4 But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,
Ũtukũ ũcio kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Nathani, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
5 “Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build for Me a house to dwell in?
“Thiĩ ũkeere ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Anga we nĩwe ũkũnjakĩra nyũmba nĩguo ndĩmĩtũũre?
6 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved about with a tent as My dwelling.
Niĩ ndirĩ ndatũũra nyũmba kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarutire andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri nginya ũmũthĩ. Ndũũraga thiiaga kũndũ na kũndũ ndĩ hema-inĩ arĩ yo gĩtũũro gĩakwa.
7 In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people Israel, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
Kũrĩa guothe ndanathiĩ na andũ a Isiraeli othe-rĩ, ndĩ ndooria mũtongoria o na ũmwe wao, arĩa ndaathire marĩithagie andũ akwa a Isiraeli, atĩrĩ, “Mwagĩte kũnjakĩra nyũmba ya mĩtarakwa nĩkĩ?”’
8 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.
“Na rĩrĩ, ĩra ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ: Ndaakũrutire rũũru-inĩ ngĩgũtigithia kũrũmĩrĩra mahiũ nĩguo ũtuĩke mwathi wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
9 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.
Nĩ ngoretwo nawe o kũrĩa guothe wanathiĩ, na ngakwehereria thũ ciaku ciothe ikeehera mbere yaku. Rĩu nĩngũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩtuĩke inene, o ta marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa anene mũno a thĩ.
10 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
Na nĩngaahe andũ akwa a Isiraeli handũ, na ndĩmahaande wega nĩgeetha magĩe na mũciĩ wao kĩũmbe, na matigacooka gũthĩĩnĩka. Andũ aaganu matigacooka kũmahinyĩrĩria rĩngĩ, o ta ũrĩa maatũire meekaga kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ,
11 and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies. The LORD declares to you that He Himself will establish a house for you.
o na ũrĩa matũire meekaga kuuma rĩrĩa ndathuurire atongoria a gũtongoragia andũ akwa a Isiraeli. Ningĩ nĩngakũhe ũhurũko kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciaku ciothe. “‘Jehova egũkwĩra atĩ Jehova we mwene nĩwe ũkaarũgamia nyũmba yaku:
12 And when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ maku magaathira, ũhurũke hamwe na maithe maku, nĩngarahũra mbeũ yaku ĩcooke ithenya rĩaku, ĩrĩa ĩkoima mũthiimo waku wee mwene, na nĩngarũgamia ũthamaki wake.
13 He will build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
Ũcio nĩwe ũgaaka nyũmba ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa Rĩakwa, na nĩngarũgamia gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene wake nginya tene.
14 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.
Nĩngatuĩka ithe, nake atuĩke mũrũ wakwa. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ageeka ũũru, ngaamũherithia na rũthanju rwa andũ, na ahũũrwo mahũũra nĩ andũ.
15 But My loving devotion will never be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I moved out of your way.
No rĩrĩ, wendo wakwa ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũkeeherio kũrĩ we, ta ũrĩa ndaaweheririe harĩ Saũlũ, ũrĩa ndeheririe mbere yaku.
16 Your house and kingdom will endure forever before Me, and your throne will be established forever.”
Nyũmba yaku na ũthamaki waku igũtũũra mbere yakwa nginya tene; o nakĩo gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene gĩgũtũũra kĩrĩ kĩrũmu wega nginya tene.’”
17 So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.
Nake Nathani akĩĩra Daudi ciugo ciothe cia ũguũrio ũcio.
18 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?
Nake Mũthamaki Daudi agĩtoonya, agĩikara thĩ mbere ya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ndĩkĩrĩ ũ, Wee Mwathani Jehova, nayo nyũmba yakwa-rĩ, ĩkĩrĩ kĩ, atĩ nĩkĩo ũnginyĩtie nginya haha?
19 And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord GOD, You have also spoken about the future of the house of Your servant. Is this Your custom with man, O Lord GOD?
Na rĩrĩ, Wee Mwathani Jehova, wonete ũndũ ũcio ta ũrĩ mũnini maitho-inĩ maku, nawe ũgacooka kwaria ũhoro wa matukũ marĩa magooka makoniĩ nyũmba ya ndungata yaku. Ningĩ Wee Mwathani Jehova ĩno nĩyo njĩra yaku ĩrĩa waragĩria andũ nayo?
20 What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.
“Nĩ atĩa ũngĩ Daudi angĩkwĩra? Nĩgũkorwo Wee Mwathani Jehova, nĩũĩ ndungata yaku.
21 For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.
Nĩ ũndũ wa kiugo gĩaku, na kũringana na wendo waku, nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ mũnene ũguo, na ũkaũmenyithia ndungata yaku.
22 How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
“Wee Mwathani Jehova, kaĩ ũkĩrĩ mũnene-ĩ! Gũtirĩ ũngĩ tawe, na gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga wee, o ta ũrĩa tũiguĩte na matũ maitũ.
23 And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself and to make a name for Himself? You performed great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt.
Na nũũ ũhaana ta andũ aku a Isiraeli, rũrĩrĩ rũmwe gũkũ thĩ rũrĩa Ngai waruo aakũũrire rũtuĩke andũ ake, nĩgeetha wĩgĩĩre igweta, na wĩke maũndũ manene ma magegania na ma gwĩtigĩrwo, na ũndũ wa kũingata ndũrĩrĩ na ngai ciao ciehere mbere ya andũ aku, arĩa wakũũrire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri?
24 For You have established Your people Israel as Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
Wee nĩũrũgamĩtie andũ aku a Isiraeli matuĩke andũ aku nginya tene, nawe, Wee Jehova nĩũtuĩkĩte Ngai wao.
25 And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house. Do as You have promised,
“Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai, tũma kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa wĩranĩire gĩkoniĩ ndungata yaku na nyũmba yake kĩrũme nginya tene. Na wĩke o ta ũguo wĩranĩire,
26 so that Your name will be magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel.’ And the house of Your servant David will be established before You.
nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩnenehe nginya tene. Ningĩ andũ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe Ngai wa Isiraeli!’ Nayo nyũmba ya ndungata yaku Daudi nĩĩkehaanda mbere yaku.
27 For You, O LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant when You said, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Therefore Your servant has found the courage to offer this prayer to You.
“Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩũguũrĩirie ndungata yaku ũndũ ũyũ, ũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngagwakĩra nyũmba.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata yaku nĩĩgĩĩte na ũmĩrĩru wa kũhooya ihooya rĩrĩ.
28 And now, O Lord GOD, You are God! Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
Wee Mwathani Jehova, Wee nĩwe Ngai! Ciugo ciaku nĩciakwĩhokwo, na nĩwĩrĩire ndungata yaku maũndũ macio mega.
29 Now therefore, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord GOD, have spoken, and with Your blessing the house of Your servant will be blessed forever.”
Rĩu nĩwonete kwagĩrĩire ũrathime nyũmba ya ndungata yaku, nĩgeetha ĩtũũre mbere yaku nginya tene maitho-inĩ maku; nĩgũkorwo Wee Mwathani Jehova nĩwe warĩtie, na nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrathimo gĩaku, nyũmba ya ndungata yaku ĩtũũre ĩraathimĩtwo nginya tene.”
