< 2 Samuel 7 >

1 Afterwarde when the King sate in his house and the Lord had giuen him rest rounde about from all his enemies,
O ruo mgbe eze nọsara ahụ nʼụlọeze ya, mgbe Onyenwe anyị mekwara ka o site nʼaka ndị iro ya nọ gburugburu zuru ike,
2 The King saide vnto Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, nowe I dwel in an house of cedar trees, and the Arke of God remayneth within the curtaines.
ọ sịrị Netan, bụ onye amụma, “Lee, mụ onwe m na-ebi nʼụlọ sida, ma igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke dị nʼime ụlọ ikwu.”
3 Then Nathan sayde vnto the King, Go, and doe all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.
Netan zaghachiri eze sị, “Ihe ọbụla dị gị nʼobi gaa nʼihu mee ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere gị.”
4 And the same night the worde of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying,
Ma nʼabalị ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Netan ntị, na-asị,
5 Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord, Shalt thou buylde me an house for my dwelling?
“Gaa gwa ohu m Devid sị ya, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ọ bụ gị ga-ewuru m ụlọ ebe m ga-ebi?
6 For I haue dwelt in no house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt vnto this day, but haue walked in a tent and tabernacle.
Nʼihi na ebibeghị m nʼụlọ site nʼụbọchị m si nʼIjipt kpọpụta ndị Izrel ruo taa. Kama ana m ejegharị site otu ebe gaa ebe ọzọ, were ụlọ ikwu mere ebe obibi m.
7 In al the places wherein I haue walked with all the children of Israel, spake I one worde with any of the tribes of Israel when I commanded the iudges to feede my people Israel? or sayde I, Why build ye not me an house of cedar trees?
Nʼebe ọbụla m na-ejegharị nʼetiti ndị Izrel niile, ọ dị mgbe m sịrị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ọchịchị ha, ndị m nyere iwu ka ha zụọ ndị m Izrel, sị, “Gịnị mere unu ewubereghị m ụlọ sida?”’
8 Nowe therefore so say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord of hostes, I tooke thee from the sheepecote following the sheepe, that thou mightest bee ruler ouer my people, ouer Israel.
“Ma ugbu a, gwa Devid bụ ohu m, sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru: Mụ onwe m sitere nʼọhịa ebe ịta nri nke ụmụ anụ ụlọ, sikwa nʼebe ị na-azụ igwe ewu na atụrụ kpọpụta gị. Mee gị onye na-achị ndị m Izrel.
9 And I was with thee wheresoeuer thou hast walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and haue made thee a great name, like vnto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
Anọnyekwara m gị nʼebe ọbụla ị gara, kpochapụ ndị iro gị niile site nʼihu gị. Ugbu a, aga m eme ka aha gị dị ukwuu, dịka aha ndị ikom dịkarịsịrị ukwuu nʼụwa.
10 (Also I will appoynt a place for my people Israel, and will plant it, that they may dwell in a place of their owne, and moue no more, neither shall wicked people trouble them any more as before time,
Aga m ahọpụta otu ebe nʼihi ndị m Izrel, kụkwa ha dịka osisi ka ha biri nʼebe obibi nke aka ha; ka ha ghara ị bụkwa ndị a na-esogbu ọzọ. Ndị ajọ mmadụ agaghị emegbukwa ha dịka ha mere na mbụ,
11 And since the time that I set Iudges ouer my people of Israel) and I will giue thee rest from al thine enemies: also the Lord telleth thee, that he will make thee an house.
dịka ha na-emekwa siterị na mgbe m họpụtara ndị ndu nye ndị m Izrel. Aga m enyekwa gị ezumike site nʼebe ndị iro gị niile nọ. “‘Onyenwe anyị na-ekwupụtara gị, na Onyenwe anyị ya onwe ya, ga-eguzobere gị ụlọ.
12 And when thy daies bee fulfilled, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and I wil set vp thy seede after thee, which shall proceede out of thy body, and will stablish his kingdome.
Mgbe ụbọchị gị nʼụwa zuru, mgbe i ga-esoro nna nna gị ha dinaa nʼọnwụ, aga m eme ka otu mkpụrụ gị bilie nọchie ọnọdụ gị, onye bụ anụ ahụ na ọbara gị, aga m emekwa ka alaeze ya guzosie ike.
13 He shall buyld an house for my Name, and I will stablish ye throne of his kingdome for euer.
Ọ bụ ya ga-ewuru m ụlọ. Aga m eme ka ocheeze nke alaeze ya guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
14 I will be his father, and hee shall bee my sonne: and if he sinne, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of men.
Mụ onwe m ga-abụrụ ya nna. Ya onwe ya ga-abụkwara m nwa. Ọ bụrụ na o jehie, aga m eji mkpanaka mmadụ taa ya ahụhụ. Werekwa ihe otiti si nʼaka ndị mmadụ dụọ ya ọdụ.
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I tooke it from Saul whome I haue put away before thee.
Ma agaghị ewezuga ịhụnanya m site nʼebe ọ nọ, dịka m si wezuga ya site nʼebe Sọl nọ, bụ onye m wezugara site nʼihu gị.
16 And thine house shall be stablished and thy kingdome for euer before thee, euen thy throne shalbe stablished for euer.
Ụlọ gị na alaeze gị ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi nʼihu m. A ga-eme ka ocheeze gị bụrụ ihe guzosiri ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’”
17 According to all these wordes, and according to all this vision, Nathan spake thus vnto Dauid.
Netan ziri Devid ozi dịka okwu niile nke ọhụ ahụ si dị.
18 Then King Dauid went in, and sate before the Lord, and sayde, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
Mgbe ahụ, eze Devid banyere nọdụ ala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, sị: “Onye ka m bụ, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, gịnịkwa ka ezinaụlọ m bụ, na ị mere ka m bịaruo nʼogogo ha otu a?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God, therefore thou hast spoken also of thy seruants house for a great while: but doth this appertaine to man, O Lord God?
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, dịka a ga-asị na nke a bụ ihe dị nta nʼanya gị. Ugbu a, i kwuola banyere ọdịnihu nke ụlọ ohu gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, nke a bụkwa ụkpụrụ metụtara mmadụ efu.
20 And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy seruant.
“Ma gịnị ọzọ ka Devid ga-agwa gị? O, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na ị maara ohu gị nke ọma.
21 For thy words sake, and according to thine owne heart hast thou done all these great things, to make them knowen vnto thy seruant.
Nʼihi okwu gị na dịka ọchịchọ obi gị si dị, i meela ihe a dị ukwuu, meekwa ka ohu gị mata ha.
22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that wee haue heard with our eares.
“Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, lee ka i si dị ukwuu! Ọ dịghị onye dịka gị. Ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị ma ọ bụghị gị, dịka anyị nụrụ ya na ntị anyị.
23 And what one people in the earth is like thy people, like Israel? whose God went and redeemed them to himselfe, that they might be his people, and that hee might make him a name, and do for you great things, and terrible for thy land, O Lord, euen for thy people, whome thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, from the nations, and their gods?
Olee ndị dịka ndị gị, bụ Izrel, bụ otu mba nʼelu ụwa nke Chineke gara ịgbapụta dịka otu ndị nye onwe ya, na iji mere onwe ya aha, rụọkwa ọrụ ịtụnanya dị egwu dịkwa ukwuu nʼihi ha, site nʼịchụpụ mba dị iche iche na chi niile ha site nʼihu ndị gị, bụ ndị ị gbapụtara site nʼIjipt?
24 For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God.
I meela ka ndị gị Izrel guzosie ike, dịka ndị nke gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ma gị onwe gị kwa, Onyenwe anyị, abụrụla Chineke ha.
25 Nowe therefore, O Lord God, confirme for euer the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and his house, and doe as thou hast sayde.
“Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke, debe nkwa a nke i kwere banyere ohu gị na ụlọ ya ka ọ dịrị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Mezukwaa ihe niile dịka nkwa gị si dị
26 And let thy Name bee magnified for euer by them that shall say, The Lord of hostes is the God ouer Israel: and let the house of thy seruant Dauid be stablished before thee.
Ka aha gị bụrụ ihe dị ukwuu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Mgbe ahụ, ndị mmadụ ga-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke na-achị Izrel’ A ga-emekwa ka ụlọ ohu gị bụ Devid guzosie ike nʼanya gị.
27 For thou, O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, hast reueiled vnto thy seruant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy seruant bene bold to pray this prayer vnto thee.
“O Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, Chineke Izrel, nʼihi na ị kpugheerela ohu gị ihe a, na-asị, ‘Aga m ewuru gị ụlọ.’ Ya mere, ohu gị ji nwee obi ike ikpere gị ekpere a.
28 Therefore now, O Lord God, (for thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast tolde this goodnes vnto thy seruant)
O, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, ị bụ Chineke nʼezie. Okwu gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. I kweekwala ohu gị nkwa ihe ọma ndị a.
29 Therefore nowe let it please thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may continue for euer before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and let the house of thy seruant be blessed for euer, with thy blessing.
Ugbu a biko, ka ọ masị gị ịgọzi ụlọ ohu gị, ka ọ dịgide nʼihu gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Nʼihi na gị, o Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya, sitekwa na ngọzị gị, ụlọ ohu gị ga-abụkwa ihe a gọziri agọzi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
