< 2 Samuel 7 >
1 Now it happened that, when the king had settled in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,
Sima na mokonzi kovanda na ndako na ye mpe Yawe kopesa ye bopemi liboso ya banguna na ye nyonso oyo bazingelaki ye,
2 he said to the prophet Nathan, “Do you not see that I live in a house of cedar, and that the ark of God has been placed in the midst of tent skins?”
mokonzi alobaki na mosakoli Natan: — Tala nanu likambo oyo! Ngai nazali kovanda na ndako batonga na mabaya ya sedele, kasi Sanduku ya Nzambe ezali kovanda kati na ndako ya kapo.
3 And Nathan said to the king: “Go, do all that is in your heart. For the Lord is with you.”
Natan azongiselaki mokonzi: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na motema, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na yo.
4 But it happened in that night, behold, the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:
Kasi na butu wana, Yawe alobaki na Natan:
5 “Go, and say to my servant David: ‘Thus says the Lord: Should you build a house for me as a dwelling place?
— Kende koyebisa Davidi, mosali na ngai: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Boni, yo nde okotongela ngai ndako mpo ete navanda kati na yango?
6 For I have not lived in a house from the day that I led the sons of Israel away from the land of Egypt, even to this day. Instead, I have walked in a tabernacle, and in a tent.
Natikali nanu kovanda na ndako moko te, banda mokolo oyo nabimisaki Isalaele na Ejipito kino lelo; nazalaki kotambola bipai na bipai na se ya ndako ya kapo, wana nazalaki kovanda kati na Mongombo.
7 And in all the places that I have crossed through, with all the sons of Israel, did I ever speak a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I instructed to pasture my people Israel, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’
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, Isalaele: ‹ Mpo na nini botongeli Ngai te ndako ya mabaya ya sedele? › »
8 And now, so shall you speak to my servant David: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pastures, from following the sheep, so that you would be the leader over 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.
9 And I have been with you everywhere that you walked. And I have slain all your enemies before your face. And I have made you a great name, beside the name of the great ones who are 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.
10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them, and they shall live there, and they shall no longer be disturbed. Neither shall the sons of iniquity continue to afflict them as before,
Nakobongisa esika mpo na bato na Ngai, Isalaele; 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
11 from the day when I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give rest to you from all your enemies. And the Lord foretells to you that the Lord himself will make a house for you.
mpe ndenge bazalaki kosala bango tango nyonso wuta tango oyo naponaki bakambi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele. Nakopesa yo bopemi liboso ya banguna na yo nyonso. › Yawe atatoli mpo na yo ete Ye moko akosala ete bokonzi ewumela kati na libota na yo.
12 And when your days will have been fulfilled, and you will sleep with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will go forth from your loins, and I will make firm his kingdom.
Tango mikolo ya bomoi na yo ekosila 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.
13 He himself shall build a house to my name. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom, even forever.
Ezali ye nde akotonga Ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakolendisa mpo na libela kiti na ye ya bokonzi.
14 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And if he will commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and with the wounds of the sons of men.
Nakozala Tata mpo na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana mpo na Ngai. Soki asali mabe, nakopesa ye etumbu; nakosalela bato lokola fimbu mpo na kobeta ye.
15 But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before my face.
Kasi nakotikala kolongola te bolingo na Ngai epai na ye ndenge nalongolaki yango epai ya Saulo oyo nalongolaki liboso na yo.
16 And your house shall be faithful, and your kingdom shall be before your face, for eternity, and your throne shall be secure continuously.’”
Libota na yo ya bokonzi mpe bokonzi na yo ekowumela tango nyonso liboso na Ngai, mpe kiti na yo ya bokonzi ekolendisama mpo na libela. »
17 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.
18 Then king David entered and sat before the Lord, and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would bring me to this point?
Bongo mokonzi Davidi akotaki, avandaki liboso ya Yawe mpe alobaki: « Nkolo Yawe, ngai nazali nani, mpe libota na ngai ezali nini, mpo ete okomisa ngai na esika oyo nazali?
19 Moreover, this has seemed little in your sight, O Lord God, unless you also will speak about the house of your servant for a long time. For this is the law of Adam, O Lord God.
Ah Nkolo Yawe, lokola nde ekokaki te na miso na Yo, olobi lisusu na tina na lobi ya libota ya bokonzi ya mosali na Yo! Ah Nkolo Yawe, boni, ezali boye nde osalaka mpo na bato?
20 Therefore, what more will David be able to say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord God.
Nini oyo Davidi akoki lisusu koloba na Yo? Pamba te, oh Nkolo Yawe, oyebi mosali na Yo?
21 Because of your word, and according to your own heart, you have done all these great deeds, so that you would make it known to your servant.
Ezali mpo na Liloba na Yo mpe kolanda mokano na Yo nde okokisi likambo monene oyo, mpe osali ete eyebana epai ya mosali na Yo.
22 For this reason, you are magnified, O Lord God. For there is no one like you. And there is no God except you, in all the things that we have heard with our own ears.
Oh Nkolo Yawe, ozali monene ndenge nini! Moko te akokani na Yo; mpe, kolanda nyonso oyo toyoki na matoyi na biso, Nzambe mosusu azali te, bobele Yo!
23 But what nation is there upon the earth like your people Israel, because of whom God went forth, so that he might redeem a people for himself, and establish a name for himself, and accomplish for them great and terrible things upon the earth, before the face of your people, whom you redeemed for yourself away from Egypt, the nations and their gods.
Ekolo nini ekokani na bato na Yo, Isalaele, oyo, kati na mokili, Nzambe akendeki kosikola lokola bato mpo na Ye moko, mpo na kopesa yango kombo mpe kokokisa makambo minene, makambo ya kokamwa mpe ya somo na nzela ya kobengana bikolo elongo na banzambe na bango liboso ya bato na Yo, oyo osikolaki wuta na Ejipito?
24 For you have secured your people Israel for yourself, as an everlasting people. And you, O Lord God, have become their God.
Otiaki Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpo ete bazala bato na Yo mpo na libela; bongo Yo, oh Yawe, okomaki Nzambe na bango.
25 Now therefore, O Lord God, raise up forever the word that you have spoken over your servant and over his house. And do just as you have said,
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe Nzambe, kokisa mpo na libela elaka oyo opesaki epai ya mosali na Yo mpe epai ya libota na ye. Sala ndenge olakaki
26 so that your name may be magnified even forever, and so that it may be said: ‘The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And the house of your servant David will be established in the sight of the Lord.
mpo ete Kombo na Yo ekumisama seko na seko, mpe bato bakoma kolobaka: ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali Nzambe ya Isalaele. › Boye bokonzi ya libota ya Davidi, mosali na Yo, ekolendisama liboso na Yo.
27 For you, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed to the ear of your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Because of this, your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
Oh Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, olakisaki na mosali na Yo makambo oyo na koloba: ‹ Nakosala ete bokonzi ewumela na libota na yo. › Yango wana mosali na Yo azwi makasi ya kosambela Yo na maloba oyo.
28 Now therefore, O Lord God, you are God, and your words shall be true. For you have spoken to your servant these good things.
Sik’oyo, oh Nkolo Yawe, ozali penza Nzambe! Maloba na Yo ezali solo, mpe olakaki makambo oyo ya malamu epai ya mosali na Yo.
29 Therefore, begin, and bless the house of your servant, so that it may be forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken. And so, let the house of your servant be blessed with your blessing forever.”
Sik’oyo, tika ete opambola libota ya mosali na Yo mpo ete ewumela seko liboso na Yo; pamba te oh Nkolo Yawe, Yo nde olobaki, mpe na nzela ya lipamboli na Yo, libota ya mosali na Yo ekopambolama mpo na libela. »
