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,

A, i te kingi e noho ana i tona whare, a ka meinga ia e Ihowa kia okioki i ona hoariri katoa a tawhio noa,

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.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Natana poropiti, Na, titiro, kei te noho nei ahau i te whare hita, ko te aaka ia a te Atua e noho ana i roto i te kakahu.

3 Then Nathan sayde vnto the King, Go, and doe all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.

Na ka mea a Natana ki te kingi, Haere, meatia nga mea katoa i tou ngakau; kei a koe hoki a Ihowa.

4 And the same night the worde of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying,

Na i taua po ano ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Natana, ka mea,

5 Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord, Shalt thou buylde me an house for my dwelling?

Haere, mea atu ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Mau koia e hanga he whare hei nohoanga moku?

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.

Kahore nei hoki ahau i noho whare no te ra ano i kawea mai ai e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa a taea noatia tenei ra; he noho haere ia toku i roto i te teneti, i te tapenakara.

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?

I oku haereerenga katoa i roto i nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, i puaki ranei tetahi kupu aku ki tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira i whakaritea e ahau hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, i mea ranei ahau, He aha koutou te hanga ai i tetahi whare hita moku?

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.

Na, tena kia penei tau ki aianei ki taku pononga ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Naku koe i tango mai i te nohoanga hipi, i te whai hipi, hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

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.

I a koe ano ahau i ou haerenga katoa, hautopea atu ana e ahau ou hoariri katoa i tou aroaro, a meinga ana koe e ahau hei ingoa nui, hei pera ano me te ingoa o nga mea nunui o te whenua.

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,

Na maku e whakarite he wahi mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, a ka whakatokia ratou e ahau kia noho ki to ratou ake wahi, kia kore e nekehia a muri ake nei; kia mutu ai te tukino a nga tamariki a te kino i a ratou, kei pera me to mua,

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.

Me to te wa i whakaritea ai e ahau he kaiwhakarite mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, i meinga ai hoki koe kia okioki i ou hoariri katoa. Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei ki a koe, Ma Ihowa e hanga he whare mou.

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.

A ka tutuki ou ra, a ka moe ki ou matua, a ka whakaarahia e ahau i muri i a koe tou whanau e puta mai i roto i ou whekau, a ka whakapumautia tona kingitanga.

13 He shall buyld an house for my Name, and I will stablish ye throne of his kingdome for euer.

Nana e hanga he whare mo toku ingoa, a ka whakapumautia e ahau te torona o tona kingitanga a ake ake.

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.

Ko ahau hei matua ki a ia, ko ia hei tama ki ahau. Ki te ngau ke tana mahi, ka whiu ahau i a ia ki te whiu a te tangata, ki nga whakapanga a nga tama a te tangata.

15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I tooke it from Saul whome I haue put away before thee.

E kore ia e mutu toku aroha ki a ia, e kore e pera me toku ki a Haora i peia atu na e ahau i tou aroaro.

16 And thine house shall be stablished and thy kingdome for euer before thee, euen thy throne shalbe stablished for euer.

Ka tuturu tonu hoki tou whare me tou kingitanga a ake ake, ki tou aroaro: ka mau tonu tou torona a ake ake.

17 According to all these wordes, and according to all this vision, Nathan spake thus vnto Dauid.

Rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa, ki tenei kitenga katoa, nga kupu a Natana ki a Rawiri.

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?

Katahi a Kingi Rawiri ka haere, a noho ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Ko wai ahau, e te Ariki, e Ihowa? he aha hoki toku whare, i kawea mai ai ahau e koe a mohoa noa nei?

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?

He mea iti ano tenei ki tau titiro, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, na kua korerotia nei e koe te whare o tau pononga mo nga tau e maha. Ko ta te tangata tikanga ranei tenei, e te Ariki, e Ihowa?

20 And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy seruant.

Na ko te aha ake hei korerotanga ma Rawiri ki a koe? e mohio ana hoki koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki tau pononga.

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.

He whakaaro ki tau kupu, na tou ngakau ano, i mea ai koe i enei mea nunui katoa, kia mohio ai tau pononga.

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.

Na he nui koe, e Ihowa, e te Atua: kahore hoki he rite mou, kahore atu hoki he Atua; ko koe anake: e rite ana ki nga mea katoa i rongo ai o matou taringa.

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?

Ko tehea iwi kotahi hoki o te whenua hei rite mo tau iwi, ara mo Iharaira, i haere nei te Atua ki te hoki hei iwi mana ake, hei mea ingoa mona, ki te mahi ano i nga mea nunui mou, i nga mea whakamataku hoki mo tou whenua, i te aroaro o tau iwi i hokona nei e koe mau i Ihipa, i nga tauiwi, i o ratou atua ano hoki?

24 For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God.

Kua whakapumautia nei hoki e koe mau tau iwi, a Iharaira, hei iwi mau a ake ake: a ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, hei Atua mo ratou.

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.

Na whakamana hoki aianei, e Ihowa, e te Atua, te kupu i korerotia e koe mo tau pononga ratou ko tona whare a ake ake, meatia ano tau i korero ai.

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.

Kia whakanuia ano tou ingoa a ake ake, kia korerotia, Ko Ihowa o nga mano te Atua o Iharaira. Kia tuturu tonu ano te whare o tau pononga, o Rawiri, ki tou aroaro.

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.

Nau nei hoki, e Ihowa o nga mano, e te Atua o Iharaira, i whakapuaki mai ki tau pononga, i mea, Ka hanga e ahau he whare mou: koia te ngakau o tau pononga i anga ai ki te inoi i tenei inoi ki a koe.

28 Therefore now, O Lord God, (for thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast tolde this goodnes vnto thy seruant)

Na, ko koe hoki, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, taua Atua nei, he pono hoki au kupu, a kua korerotia e koe tenei mea pai ki tau pononga.

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.

Na reira kia pai koe ki te manaaki i te whare o tau pononga, kia pumau tonu ai ki tou aroaro: nau hoki e Ihowa, e te Atua, te kupu: a hei tau manaaki te manaaki mo te whare o tau pononga a ake ake.
