2 Samuel 7
1 By now the king was comfortable in his palace and the Lord had given him peace from all the enemy nations around him.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ọba ń gbé ní ilé rẹ̀, tí Olúwa sì fún un ní ìsinmi yíkákiri kúrò lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
2 So he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look at me—I live in a palace made of cedar, but the Ark of God is still in a tent.”
Ọba sì wí fún Natani wòlíì pé, “Sá wò ó, èmi ń gbé inú ilẹ̀ tí a fi kedari kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ń gbé inú ibi tí a fi aṣọ gé.”
3 “Go ahead, do whatever you want, for the Lord is with you,” Nathan told the king.
Natani sì wí fún ọba pé, “Lọ, kí o sì ṣe gbogbo èyí tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ, nítorí pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.”
4 But that night the Lord spoke to Nathan and told him,
Ó sì ṣe ní òru náà, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Natani wá pé,
5 “Go and tell my servant David, This is what the Lord says: Should you be the one to build a house for me to live in?
“Lọ, sọ fún ìránṣẹ́ mi, fún Dafidi pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, ìwọ ó ha kọ́ ilé fún mi tí èmi yóò gbé.
6 For I have never lived in a house, from the time I led the Israelites out of Egypt up till now. I have always moved from place to place, living in a tent and a Tabernacle.
Nítorí pé, èmi kò ì ti gbé inú ilé kan láti ọjọ́ tí èmi ti mú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gòkè ti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, títí di òní yìí, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti ń rìn nínú àgọ́, fún ibùgbé mi.
7 But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’
Ní ibi gbogbo tí èmi ti ń rìn pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ǹjẹ́ èmi ti bá ọ̀kan nínú ẹ̀yà Israẹli, tí èmi pa àṣẹ fún láti máa bọ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi àní Israẹli, sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi kedari kọ́ ilé fún mi.”’
8 So then, tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of my people Israel.
“Ǹjẹ́, nítorí náà, báyìí ni ìwọ yóò sì wí fún ìránṣẹ́ mi àní Dafidi pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, Èmi ti mú ìwọ kúrò láti inú agbo àgùntàn wá láti má tẹ̀lé àwọn àgùntàn, mo sì fi ọ́ jẹ olórí àwọn ènìyàn mi, àní Israẹli.
9 I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have destroyed all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.
Èmi sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ níbikíbi tí ìwọ ń lọ, èmi sá à gé gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ kúrò níwájú rẹ, èmi sì ti sọ orúkọ rẹ di ńlá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ àwọn ènìyàn ńlá tí ó wà ní ayé.
10 I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,
Èmi ó sì yan ibìkan fún àwọn ènìyàn mi, àní Israẹli, èmi ó sì gbìn wọ́n, wọn ó sì má gbé bí ibùjókòó tiwọn, wọn kì yóò sì sípò padà mọ́; àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn búburú kì yóò sì pọ́n wọn lójúmọ́, bí ìgbà àtijọ́.
11 from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.
Àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí àkókò ìgbà tí èmi ti fi àṣẹ fún àwọn onídàájọ́ lórí àwọn ènìyàn mi, àní Israẹli, èmi fi ìsinmi fún ọ lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ. “‘Olúwa sì wí fún ọ pé Olúwa yóò kọ ilé kan fún ọ.
12 For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ rẹ bá pé, tí ìwọ ó sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ, èmi yóò sì gbé irú-ọmọ rẹ lékè lẹ́yìn rẹ, èyí tí ó ti inú rẹ jáde wá, èmi yóò sì fi ìdí ìjọba rẹ kalẹ̀.
13 He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.
Òun ó sì kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ mi, èmi yóò sì fi ìdí ìjọba rẹ kalẹ̀ láéláé.
14 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. If he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod like people do, like a parent punishing a child.
Èmi ó máa ṣe baba fún un, òun yóò sì máa jẹ́ ọmọ mi. Bí òun bá dẹ́ṣẹ̀, èmi yóò sì fi ọ̀pá ènìyàn nà án, àti ìnà àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
15 But I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of Saul who I removed before you.
Ṣùgbọ́n àánú mi kì yóò yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti mú un kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Saulu, tí èmi ti mú kúrò níwájú rẹ.
16 Your house and your kingdom will last forever; your dynasty will be secure forever.”
A ó sì fi ìdílé rẹ àti ìjọba rẹ múlẹ̀ níwájú rẹ títí láé, a ó sì fi ìdí ìtẹ́ rẹ múlẹ̀ títí láé.’”
17 This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ìran yìí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Natani sì sọ fún Dafidi.
18 Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?
Dafidi ọba sì wọlé lọ, ó sì dúró níwájú Olúwa, ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, ta ni èmi, àti kí sì ni ìdílé mi, tí ìwọ fi mú mi di ìsinsin yìí?
19 God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. Is this your usual way of dealing with human beings, Lord God?
Nǹkan kékeré ni èyí sá à jásí lójú rẹ, Olúwa Olódùmarè; ìwọ sì ti sọ nípa ìdílé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ pẹ̀lú ní ti àkókò tí o jìnnà. Èyí ha ṣe ìwà ènìyàn bí, Olúwa Olódùmarè?
20 What more can I, David, tell you? You know exactly what your servant is like, Lord God.
“Àti kín ní ó tún kù tí Dafidi ìbá tún máa wí fún ọ? Ìwọ, Olúwa Olódùmarè mọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.
21 You're doing all this for me and you have explained it to me, your servant, and because of your promise and because it's what you want to do.
Nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ ọkàn rẹ, ni ìwọ ṣe ṣe gbogbo nǹkan ńlá wọ̀nyí, kí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lè mọ̀.
22 How great you are, Lord God! There really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.
“Ìwọ sì tóbi, Olúwa Olódùmarè! Kò sì sí ẹni tí ó dàbí rẹ, kò sì sí Ọlọ́run kan lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí àwa fi etí wá gbọ́.
23 Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations and their gods before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.
Orílẹ̀-èdè kan wo ni ó sì ń bẹ ní ayé tí ó dàbí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, àní Israẹli, àwọn tí Ọlọ́run lọ rà padà láti sọ wọ́n di ènìyàn rẹ̀, àti láti sọ wọ́n ní orúkọ, àti láti ṣe nǹkan ńlá fún un yín, àti nǹkan ìyanu fún ilé rẹ̀, níwájú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, tí ìwọ ti rà padà fún ara rẹ láti Ejibiti wá, àní àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti àwọn òrìṣà wọn.
24 You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
Ìwọ sì fi ìdí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, àní Israẹli kalẹ̀ fún ara rẹ láti sọ wọ́n di ènìyàn rẹ títí láé; ìwọ Olúwa sì wá di Ọlọ́run fún wọn.
25 So now, Lord God, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and is confirmed forever. Please do as you have promised,
“Ǹjẹ́, Olúwa Ọlọ́run, jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ náà tí ìwọ sọ ní ti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àti ní ti ìdílé rẹ̀, kí ó dúró títí láé, kí ó sí ṣe bí ìwọ ti wí.
26 and may your true nature be honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.
Jẹ́ kí orúkọ rẹ ó ga títí láé, pé, ‘Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni Ọlọ́run lórí Israẹli!’ Sì jẹ́ kí a fi ìdílé Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ múlẹ̀ níwájú rẹ.
27 Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to me, your servant, telling me, ‘I will build a house for you.’ That's why your servant has had the courage to pray this prayer to you.
“Nítorí pé ìwọ, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli ti sọ létí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, pé, ‘Èmí ó kọ́ ilé kan fún ọ.’ Nítorí náà ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ sì ṣe ní i lọ́kàn rẹ̀ láti gbàdúrà yìí sí ọ.
28 Lord Almighty, you are God! Your words are truth, and you are the one who has promised these good things to your servant.
Ǹjẹ́, Olúwa Olódùmarè, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run náà, àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ sì jásí òtítọ́, ìwọ sì jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ nǹkan rere yìí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.
29 So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For you have spoken, Lord God, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”
Ǹjẹ́, jẹ́ kí ó wù ọ́ láti bùkún ìdílé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, kí ó wà títí láé níwájú rẹ, nítorí ìwọ, Olúwa Olódùmarè, ni ó ti sọ ọ́: sì jẹ́ kí ìbùkún wà ní ìdílé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ títí láé, nípasẹ̀ ìbùkún rẹ.”
