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.
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 thy heart; for God is with thee.
Natan azongiselaki Davidi: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na motema, pamba te Nzambe azali elongo na yo.
3 And it came to pass that night that the word of God came to Nathan saying,
Kasi na butu wana, Nzambe alobaki na Natan:
4 Go and say to David my servant, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in;
— 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 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].
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 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?
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 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;
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 It is he who shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
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 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;
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 settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.
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 all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
Natan ayebisaki Davidi maloba oyo nyonso mpe emoniseli oyo nyonso.
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?
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 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.
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 can David [say] more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant.
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 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.
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 Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard 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 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?
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 thy people Israel hast thou made thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.
Okomisi Isalaele bato na Yo mpo na libela, mpe Yo, Yawe, okomi Nzambe na bango.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And now, Jehovah, thou art that God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;
Sik’oyo oh Yawe, ozali Nzambe! Olakaki makambo ya malamu epai ya mosali na Yo.
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.
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. »
