1 Chronicles 17
1 Now when David was living in his house, he said to the prophet Nathan: “Behold, I live in a house of cedar. But the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent skins.”
Wana Davidi avandaki na ndako na ye ya bokonzi, alobaki na mosakoli Natan: — Nazali kovanda na ndako batonga na mabaya ya sedele, kasi Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ezali kati na ndako ya kapo.
2 And Nathan said to David: “Do all that is in your heart. For God is with you.”
Natan azongiselaki Davidi: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na motema, pamba te Nzambe azali elongo na yo.
3 And yet, that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
Kasi na butu wana, Nzambe alobaki na Natan:
4 “Go, and speak to my servant David: Thus says the Lord: You shall not build a house for me as a dwelling place.
— Kende koyebisa Davidi, mosali na Ngai: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Ezali yo te moto okotongela Ngai ndako mpo ete navanda kati na yango.
5 For I have not stayed in a house from the time when I led out Israel, even to this day. Instead, I have been continually changing places, in a tabernacle and tent,
Banda mokolo oyo nabimisaki Isalaele na Ejipito kino lelo, natikali nanu kovanda na ndako moko te; nazalaki kaka kati na Mongombo, longwa na esika songolo kino na esika pakala.
6 dwelling with all of Israel. When did I ever speak to any one at all, among the judges of Israel whom I placed in charge so that they might pasture my people, saying: ‘Why have you not built a house of cedar for me?’
Na bisika nyonso oyo natamboli elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele, boni, nasilaki koloba ata na moko kati na bakambi na bango, oyo natiaki mpo na kobatela bato na Ngai: ‘Mpo na nini botongeli Ngai te ndako ya mabaya ya sedele?’ ›
7 And so, now you shall say this to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you when you were following the flock in the pastures, so that you would be the leader of my people Israel.
Yebisa sik’oyo Davidi, mosali na Ngai: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Ezali Ngai nde nazwaki yo na zamba epai wapi ozalaki koleisa mpe kobatela bibwele, mpo ete nakomisa yo mokonzi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone. And I have slain all your enemies before you, and I have made a name for you like one of the great ones who are celebrated upon the earth.
Nazalaki elongo na yo na bisika nyonso oyo okendeki mpe nabomaki banguna na yo nyonso liboso na yo. Sik’oyo, nakokomisa kombo na yo monene lokola bakombo ya bato minene oyo bazali kati na mokili.
9 And I have given a place to my people Israel. They shall be planted, and they shall live in it, and they shall no longer be moved. Neither shall the sons of iniquity wear them away, as in the beginning,
Nakobongisa esika mpo na bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe nakolona bango mpo ete bazala na esika na bango moko mpe batungisa bango lisusu te. Bato mabe bakonyokola bango lisusu te ndenge bazalaki konyokola bango liboso;
10 from the days when I gave judges to my people Israel, and I humbled all your enemies. Therefore, I announce to you that the Lord will build a house for you.
mpe ndenge bazalaki kosala bango tango nyonso wuta tango oyo naponaki bakambi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele. Nakotia lisusu banguna na yo na se ya bokonzi na yo. Boye, nazali koyebisa yo ete Yawe akosala ete bokonzi ewumela kati na libota na yo.
11 And when you will have completed your days, so that you go to your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall be from your sons. And I will establish his kingdom.
Tango okosilisa mobembo na yo awa na mokili mpe okokende kokutana na batata na yo, nakotombola moko kati na bakitani na yo, oyo akobima penza na mokongo na yo, mpo ete akitana na yo; mpe nakolendisa bokonzi na ye.
12 He shall build a house for me, and I will make firm his throne, even unto eternity.
Ezali ye nde akotonga Ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakolendisa mpo na libela kiti na ye ya bokonzi.
13 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it away from the one who was before you.
Nakozala tata mpo na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana mpo na Ngai; nakotikala kolongola te bolingo na Ngai epai na ye ndenge nalongolaki yango epai ya mokonzi oyo alekaki liboso na yo.
14 And I will station him in my house and in my kingdom, even forever. And his throne will be very firm, in perpetuity.”
Nakotia ye mokonzi ya ndako na Ngai mpe ya mokili na Ngai mpo na libela, mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi ekolendisama mpo na libela. › »
15 According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
Natan ayebisaki Davidi maloba oyo nyonso mpe emoniseli oyo nyonso.
16 And when king David had departed, and had sat down before the Lord, he said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would grant such things to me?
Mokonzi Davidi akotaki, avandaki liboso ya Yawe mpe alobaki: « Oh Yawe Nzambe, ngai nazali nani, mpe libota na ngai ezali nini, mpo ete okomisa ngai na esika oyo nazali?
17 But even this has seemed little in your sight, and therefore you have also spoken about the house of your servant even for the future. And you have made me a spectacle above all men, O Lord God.
Mpe lokola nde ekokaki te na miso na Yo, Nzambe na ngai, olobi lisusu na tina na lobi ya libota ya bokonzi ya mosali na Yo! Oh Yawe Nzambe, ozali kozwa ngai lokola moto ya lokumu!
18 What more can David add, since you have so glorified your servant, and have known him?
Nini oyo Davidi akoki lisusu koloba na Yo mpo na lokumu oyo ozali kopesa na mosali na Yo? Pamba te, oh Yawe, oyebi mosali na Yo.
19 O Lord, because of your servant, in accord with your own heart, you have brought about all this magnificence, and you have willed all these great things to be known.
Oh Yawe, mpo na mosali na Yo mpe kolanda mokano na Yo, okokisi makambo minene oyo mpe osali ete bilaka minene oyo nyonso eyebana.
20 O Lord, there is no one like you. And there is no other God apart from you, out of all whom we have heard about with our ears.
Oh Yawe, moko te akokani na Yo; mpe, kolanda nyonso oyo toyoki na matoyi na biso, Nzambe mosusu azali te, bobele Yo!
21 For what other single nation upon earth is like your people Israel, to whom God reached out, so that he might free them, and might make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terribleness cast out the nations before the face of those whom he had freed from Egypt?
Boni, ezali solo na ekolo moko kati na mokili, oyo ekokani na bato na Yo, Isalaele; ekolo oyo, kati na mokili, Nzambe asikola bato na yango mpo na lokumu na Ye moko? Osalaki ete Kombo na yo ekende sango na nzela ya misala minene mpe ya somo oyo osalaki tango obenganaki bikolo liboso ya bato na Yo, oyo akangolaki na Ejipito.
22 And you have set your people Israel to be your people, even unto eternity. And you, O Lord, have become their God.
Okomisi Isalaele bato na Yo mpo na libela, mpe Yo, Yawe, okomi Nzambe na bango.
23 Now therefore, O Lord, let the word that you have spoken to your servant, and over his house, be confirmed in perpetuity, and do just as you have spoken.
Bongo sik’oyo, oh Yawe, tika ete elaka oyo opesaki epai ya mosali na Yo mpe libota na ye ekokisama mpo na libela! Sala ndenge olakaki.
24 And may your name remain and be magnified even for all time. And let it be said: ‘The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel. And the house of his servant David remains forever before him.’
Boye, sala ete ekokisama, mpo ete Kombo na Yo ekumisama seko na seko mpe bato bakoma kolobaka: ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele, azali solo Nzambe mpo na Isalaele! › Boye bokonzi ya libota ya mosali na Yo, Davidi, ekolendisama liboso na Yo.
25 For you, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build a house for him. And therefore your servant has found faith so that he might pray before you.
Solo, Yo moko, Nzambe na ngai, olakisaki na mosali na Yo ete okosala ete bokonzi ewumela na libota na ye. Yango wana mosali na Yo azwi makasi ya kosambela Yo.
26 Now then, O Lord, you are God. And you have spoken to your servant such great benefits.
Sik’oyo oh Yawe, ozali Nzambe! Olakaki makambo ya malamu epai ya mosali na Yo.
27 And you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it may be always before you. For since it is you who is blessing, O Lord, it shall be blessed forever.”
Osepeli sik’oyo kopambola libota ya mosali na Yo mpo ete ewumela seko liboso na Yo; pamba te ezali Yo, Yawe, nde opamboli yango, mpe epambolami mpo na libela. »
