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,
Awo olwatuuka kabaka n’atereera mu lubiri lwe, Mukama n’amuwa okuwummula eri abalabe be bonna abaamwetooloola.
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.
N’agamba Nasani nnabbi nti, “Laba ntudde mu lubiri olwazimbibwa n’emivule, naye essanduuko ya Katonda eri mu weema.”
3 Then Nathan sayde vnto the King, Go, and doe all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.
Nasani n’addamu kabaka nti, “Genda okole ng’omutima gwo bwe gukugamba, kubanga Mukama ali wamu naawe.”
4 And the same night the worde of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying,
Ekiro ekyo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Nasani nti,
5 Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord, Shalt thou buylde me an house for my dwelling?
“Genda otegeeze omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Ggwe olinzimbira ennyumba ey’okubeeramu?
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.
Sibeeranga mu nnyumba okuva ku lunaku lwe naggya Abayisirayiri mu Misiri, ne leero. Ntambudde okuva mu kifo ekimu okudda mu kirala nga mbeera mu weema.
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?
Mu bifo byonna bye ntambudde n’Abayisirayiri bonna, nnina ekigambo n’ekimu kye nagamba abafuzi baabwe be nalagira okukulembera abantu bange, Isirayiri nti, “Kiki ekibalobedde okunzimbira ennyumba ey’emivule?”’
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.
“Kaakano tegeeza omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, ow’Eggye nti, “Nakuggya mu ddundiro gye walundiranga endiga ne nkufuula omukulembeze w’abantu bange Isirayiri.
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.
Mbadde naawe buli gy’ogenze, era nzikiririzza abalabe bo bonna mu maaso go. Ndifuula erinnya lyo okuba ekkulu, ne liba ng’erimu ku g’abasajja ab’ekitiibwa ennyo mu nsi.
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,
Ndifunira abantu bange Isirayiri ekifo ekyabwe ku bwabwe, balemenga okutawanyizibwanga. Abantu ababi tebalibacocca nate, nga bwe baakolanga olubereberye,
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.
okuva lwe nalonda abalamuzi okufuga abantu bange Isirayiri. Era ndikuwa ebiseera eby’emirembe abalabe bo baleme okukuyigganya. “‘“Mukama akugamba nti Mukama Katonda yennyini, alinyweza ennyumba yo.
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.
Ennaku zo bwe ziriggwaako, n’owummula ne bajjajjaabo, ndikuza ezzadde lyo eririva munda yo likusikire, era ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe.
13 He shall buyld an house for my Name, and I will stablish ye throne of his kingdome for euer.
Oyo yalizimbira Erinnya lyange ennyumba, era ndinyweza entebe ye ey’obwakabaka bwe ennaku zonna.
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.
Nnaabeeranga kitaawe, naye aliba mwana wange. Bw’anasobyanga nnaamukangavvulanga n’omuggo ogw’abantu n’enga ez’abantu.
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I tooke it from Saul whome I haue put away before thee.
Naye okwagala kwange tekumuvengako, nga bwe kwava ku Sawulo, gwe naggya mu maaso go.
16 And thine house shall be stablished and thy kingdome for euer before thee, euen thy throne shalbe stablished for euer.
Ennyumba yo n’obwakabaka bwo birifuuka bya nkalakkalira ennaku zonna mu maaso gange, era entebe yo ey’obwakabaka erinywezebwa ennaku zonna.”’”
17 According to all these wordes, and according to all this vision, Nathan spake thus vnto Dauid.
Nasani n’ategeeza Dawudi ebigambo byonna eby’okubikkulirwa kwe.
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?
Awo kabaka Dawudi n’ayingira n’atuula mu maaso ga Mukama, n’ayogera nti, “Nze ani, Ayi Mukama Katonda, n’ennyumba yange kye ki, ggwe okuntuusa wano?
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?
Gy’obeera ekyo tekimala, Ayi Mukama Katonda, oyogedde ku bigenda okubaawo mu biro eby’omu maaso ku nnyumba ey’omuddu wo. Bw’otyo bw’okolagana n’omuntu, Ayi Mukama Katonda?
20 And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy seruant.
“Kiki ekirala Dawudi kyayinza okukugamba, kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda omanyi omuddu wo.
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.
Olw’ekigambo kyo n’olw’okusiima kwo, okoze ebintu bino ebikulu, n’obimanyisa omuddu wo.
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.
“Ng’oli mukulu, Ayi Mukama Katonda! Tewali akwenkana, era tewali Katonda wabula ggwe, nga bwe twewuliridde n’amatu gaffe.
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?
Era ggwanga ki mu nsi erifaanana ng’abantu bo Isirayiri, eggwanga Katonda lye yeenunulira, ne yeekolera erinnya, n’abakolera ebintu ebikulu eby’amagero bwe yagoba amawanga ne balubaale baabwe mu maaso g’abantu bo be weenunulira okuva mu Misiri?
24 For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God.
Onywezezza abantu bo, Isirayiri ng’ababo ddala emirembe gyonna era ggwe Ayi Mukama wafuuka Katonda waabwe.
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.
“Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda, otuukirize ekyo kye wasuubiza omuddu wo n’ennyumba ye okole nga bwe wasuubiza,
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.
erinnya lyo ligulumizibwenga emirembe gyonna, n’abantu boogerenga nti, ‘Mukama ow’Eggye ye Katonda wa Isirayiri,’ era n’ennyumba ey’omuddu wo Dawudi erinywezebwa mu maaso go.
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.
“Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri, ekyo okibikkulidde omuddu wo ng’ogamba nti, ‘Ndikuzimbira ennyumba,’ omuddu wo kyavudde ayaŋŋanga okuwaayo okusaba okwo gy’oli.
28 Therefore now, O Lord God, (for thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast tolde this goodnes vnto thy seruant)
Ayi Mukama Katonda, oli Katonda, n’ebigambo byo bya mazima, era omuddu wo omusuubizza ebintu ebirungi.
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.
Kale nno okkirize okuwa ennyumba ey’omuddu wo omukisa enywerere mu maaso go ennaku zonna, kubanga ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda oyogedde, era ennyumba ey’omuddu wo eneebanga n’omukisa ennaku zonna.”
