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,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono fale, pea kuo tuku kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae mālōlō mei hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē naʻe nofo takatakai;

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.

Naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Natani ko e palōfita, “Vakai eni, ʻoku ou nofo au ʻi ha fale sita, ka ʻoku nofo ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he loto puipui [pe].”

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

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Natani ki he tuʻi, “ʻAlu, ʻo fai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto he ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.”

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

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pō pe ko ia, naʻe ongo mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Natani, ʻo pehē.

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

“ʻAlu ʻo tala ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, He te ke langa ʻe koe kiate au ha fale ke u nofo ai?

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.

Kae ʻosi kuo ʻikai te u nofo ʻi ha fale talu mei he kuonga naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni, ka kuo u ʻeveʻeva ʻi ha fale tupenu mo ha fale fehikitaki.

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?

‌ʻI he potu kotoa pē kuo u ʻalu ai mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, kuo u lea ʻaki koā ha momoʻi lea ki ha tokotaha ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻaku fekau ke fafangaʻi ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, ke pehē, Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou langa hoku fale sita?’

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.

Pea ko ia foki te ke pehē ai ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ‘Naʻaku hiki mai koe mei he lotoʻā sipi, mei hoʻo muimui ʻi he fanga sipi, ke ke pule ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli;

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.

Pea naʻaku ʻiate koe ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ke ʻalu ki ai, pea kuo u fakaʻauha atu ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē mei ho ʻao, pea kuo u ngaohi ke ongoongoa lahi ho hingoa, ʻo tatau mo e hingoa ʻoe kau ongoongoa ʻoku ʻi māmani.

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,

Pea te u tuʻutuʻuni foki ha potu maʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli, pea te u fokotuʻu ʻakinautolu, ke nau nofo ʻi ha potu ʻoku ʻonautolu pe, pea ʻikai toe hiki; pea ʻe ʻikai toe fakamamahi ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻoe angakovi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa,

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.

Pea hangē ko ia kuo fai talu mei heʻeku fekau ke pule ʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli ʻe he kau fakamaau; pea kuo u tuku kiate koe ʻae mālōlō mei ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē. Pea ʻoku fakahā mai foki ʻe Sihova te ne fakatupu ho fale ʻoʻou.

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.

Pea ʻoka kakato hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho, pea te ke mohe koe fakataha mo hoʻo ngaahi tamai, te u fokotuʻu hake ho hako ki mui ʻiate koe, ʻakinautolu ʻe haʻu mei ho fatu ʻoʻou, pea te u ʻai ke tuʻu mālohi ʻa hono puleʻanga.

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

Te ne langa ʻe ia ha fale maʻa hoku hingoa, pea te u fokotuʻu ʻae nofoʻanga fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga ke taʻengata.

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.

Teu ʻiate ia ko e tamai, pea ko hoku foha ia. Kapau te ne fai ha kovi, te u tautea ʻaki ia ʻae meʻa tā ʻae tangata, pea mo e ngaahi tā ʻae fānau ʻae tangata:

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

Ka ʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻa ʻeku ʻaloʻofa meiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻave ia ʻia Saula, ʻaia naʻaku ʻave ʻeau mei ho ʻao.

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

Pea ko ho fale, pea mo ho puleʻanga ʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻi ho ʻao ʻo taʻengata; ʻe ʻai ke maʻu ʻo taʻengata ʻa ho nofoʻanga fakatuʻi.

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

Naʻe lea ʻa Natani kia Tevita ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi lea ni, pea tatau mo e meʻa hā mai ni.’”

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?

Pea naʻe toki hū atu ʻa Tevita, pea ne nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko hai au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua? Pea ko e hā ʻa hoku fale, kuo ke ʻomi ai au ʻo aʻu mai ki he kuonga ni?

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?

Pea ko e meʻa siʻi foki ia ʻi ho ʻao, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua; he kuo ke folofola foki ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki he kuonga fuoloa ʻe haʻu. Pea he ko e anga eni ʻoe tangata ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua?

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

Pea ko e hā ha toe lea ʻe faʻa fai ʻe Tevita kiate koe? He ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻe koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.

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.

Kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ni, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo folofola, pea ʻo hangē ko ho finangalo ʻoʻou, koeʻuhi ke fakaʻilo ia ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.

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.

Ko ia ʻoku ke lahi koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku hangē ko koe, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua mo koe, ʻo tatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa homau telinga.

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?

Pea ko fē ia ha puleʻanga pe taha ʻi māmani kuo tatau mo hoʻo kakai, ke hangē ko ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae ʻOtua ke ne huhuʻi ia ko e kakai maʻana, pea ke fakaongoongolelei foki ia, pea ke fai maʻamoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi mo fakamanavahē, koeʻuhi ko ho fonua, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻaia naʻa ke huhuʻi kiate koe mei ʻIsipite, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga pea mo honau ngaahi ʻotua?

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

He kuo ke fakapapau kiate koe ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ko e kakai kiate koe ke taʻengata: pea ko koe ʻe Sihova kuo ke hoko ko honau ʻOtua.

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.

Pea ko eni, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e lea kuo ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi ko hono fale, fokotuʻu ia ke taʻengata, pea ke fai ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ke folofola ki 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.

Pea tuku ke fakahikihikiʻi ʻa ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, ʻo pehē, Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ko e ʻOtua ia ki ʻIsileli: pea tuku ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.

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.

He ko koe, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, kuo ke fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, Te u langa hake ha fale moʻou: ko ia kuo ngaue ai ʻae loto ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke fai ʻae lotu ni kiate 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)

Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko koe ʻae ʻOtua ko ia, pea ʻoku moʻoni ʻa hoʻo ngaahi folofola, pea kuo ke talaʻofa ʻaki ʻae lelei ni ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki:

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.

Ko ia tuku ke lelei ia kiate koe ke tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke tuʻumaʻu ia ʻi ho ʻao ʻo taʻengata: he ko koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo ke folofola ki ai: pea ʻi hoʻo tāpuaki tuku ke tāpuakiʻi ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata.”
