1 Chronicles 17
1 And it came to pass as David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah under curtains.
Davide atakhazikika mʼnyumba yake yaufumu, anawuza mneneri Natani kuti, “Ine pano ndikukhala mʼnyumba yaufumu yomanga ndi mitengo ya mkungudza, pomwe Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova lili mu tenti.”
2 And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee.
Natani anayankha Davide kuti, “Chitani chilichonse chimene chili mu mtima mwanu, chifukwa Mulungu ali nanu.”
3 And it came to pass that night that the word of God came to Nathan saying,
Usiku umenewo mawu a Mulungu anafika kwa Natani, ndipo anati,
4 Go and say to David my servant, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in;
“Pita kamuwuze mtumiki wanga Davide kuti, ‘Yehova akunena kuti, sudzandimangira ndiwe nyumba yokhalamo.’
5 for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but I have been from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].
Ine sindinakhalepo mʼnyumba kuyambira tsiku limene ndinatulutsa Israeli mʼdziko la Igupto mpaka lero lino. Ndakhala ndikuyenda kuchoka mʼtenti ina kupita mʼtenti ina, kuchoka malo ena kupita malo ena.
6 In all my going about with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?
Konse ndakhala ndikuyenda ndi Aisraeli onse, kodi ndinanenapo kwa wina aliyense wa atsogoleri awo amene ndinamulamula kuweta anthu anga kuti, ‘Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani simunandimangire nyumba ya mitengo ya mkungudza?’”
7 And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel;
Ndipo tsopano umuwuze mtumiki wanga Davide kuti, “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, Ine ndinakutenga ku busa ukuweta nkhosa, kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu anga, Aisraeli.
8 and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name, like unto the name of the great men that are on the earth.
Ineyo ndinali nawe kulikonse kumene unkapita, ndipo ndachotsa adani ako onse pamaso pako. Tsopano ndidzakuza dzina lako kuti likhale mʼgulu la mayina a anthu otchuka kwambiri pa dziko lapansi.
9 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as formerly,
Ndipo ndidzawapatsa malo anthu anga, Aisraeli ndipo ndidzawadzala pamalo awoawo kuti asadzavutitsidwenso. Anthu oyipa sadzawazunzanso monga ankachitira poyamba paja;
10 and since the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will subdue all thine enemies; and I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house.
monga akhala akuchitira kuchokera nthawi imene ndinasankha atsogoleri a anthu anga Aisraeli. Ine ndidzagonjetsanso adani anu onse. “‘Ine ndikulengeza kwa iwe kuti Yehova adzakhazikitsa banja lako.
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
Masiku ako akadzatha ndipo ukadzatsatira makolo ako, Ine ndidzawutsa mphukira yako imene idzalowa mʼmalo mwako, mmodzi mwa ana ako, ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa ufumu wake.
12 It is he who shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
Iye ndiye amene adzandimangira nyumba, ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa ufumu wake kwamuyaya.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son; and I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;
Ine ndidzakhala abambo ake, ndipo iye adzakhala mwana wanga. Ine sindidzasiya kumukonda monga ndinachitira ndi amene unalowa mʼmalo mwawo.
14 and I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.
Ndidzamuyika kukhala wolamulira nyumba yanga ndi ufumu wanga kwamuyaya. Mpando wake waufumu udzakhazikika kwamuyaya.’”
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
Natani anafotokozera Davide mawu onse avumbulutso limene analandira.
16 And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
Choncho Mfumu Davide analowa mu tenti nakhala pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo anati, “Ine ndine yani, Inu Yehova Mulungu, ndipo banja langa nʼchiyani kuti mundifikitse pamene ndafikapa?
17 And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, O God; and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim.
Inu Mulungu, kukhala ngati izi ndi zosakwanira pamaso panu, Inuyo mwayankhula zatsogolo la banja la mtumiki wanu. Mwandiyangʼana ndipo mwandiyesa ngati munthu wolemekezeka kwambiri pakati pa anthu, Inu Yehova Mulungu.”
18 What can David [say] more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant.
“Kodi Davide anenenso chiyani kwa Inu, pakuti mwachitira ulemu wotere mtumiki wanu? Pakuti Inu mukumudziwa mtumiki wanu.
19 Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
Inu Yehova, chifukwa cha mtumiki wanu komanso mwa chifuniro chanu, mwachita chinthu chachikulu ichi ndipo mwawulula malonjezo anu aakulu onse.
20 Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
“Palibe wina wofanana nanu, Inu Yehova, ndipo palibe Mulungu wina koma Inu nokha monga tamvera ndi makutu athu.
21 And who is like thy people Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
Ndipo ndi ndani wofanana ndi anthu anu Aisraeli, mtundu wokhawo pa dziko lapansi umene Mulungu wake anapita kukawuwombola, monga anthu akeake ndi kukadzitchukitsa yekha pochita zinthu zodabwitsa zazikulu, pothamangitsa mitundu ina pamaso pa anthu ake, amene Inu munawawombola ku Igupto?
22 And thy people Israel hast thou made thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.
Inu munawapanga anthu anu Aisraeli kukhala anuanu kwamuyaya, ndipo Inu, Inu Yehova ndinu Mulungu wawo.
23 And now, Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
“Ndipo tsopano Yehova, sungani kwamuyaya lonjezo limene mwachita ndi mtumiki wanu ndi banja lake, likhazikitseni kwamuyaya. Chitani monga mwalonjezera,
24 Let it even be established, and let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, is God to Israel; and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
kotero dzina lanu likhazikike ndi kukhala lotchuka mpaka muyaya. Ndipo anthu adzanena kuti, ‘Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa woyangʼanira Israeli, ndi Mulungu wa Israeli!’ Ndipo banja la mtumiki wanu Davide lidzakhazikika pamaso panu.
25 For thou, my God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath thy servant found [in his heart] to pray before thee.
“Inu Mulungu wanga, mwaululira mtumiki wanu kuti mudzamumangira nyumba. Nʼchifukwa chake ine mtumiki wanu ndalimba mtima kupemphera motere.
26 And now, Jehovah, thou art that God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;
Inu Yehova, ndinu Mulungu! Mwalonjeza zinthu zabwinozi kwa mtumiki wanu.
27 and now, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Jehovah, hast blessed [it], and it shall be blessed for ever.
Ndipo chakukomerani kudalitsa banja la mtumiki wanu kuti likhale pamaso panu mpaka muyaya. Pakuti Inu Yehova mwalidalitsa, lidzakhala lodalitsika mpaka muyaya.”
