2 Samuel 7
1 AND it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
Awo olwatuuka kabaka n’atereera mu lubiri lwe, Mukama n’amuwa okuwummula eri abalabe be bonna abaamwetooloola.
2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
N’agamba Nasani nnabbi nti, “Laba ntudde mu lubiri olwazimbibwa n’emivule, naye essanduuko ya Katonda eri mu weema.”
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do 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 it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,
Ekiro ekyo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Nasani nti,
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
“Genda otegeeze omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Ggwe olinzimbira ennyumba ey’okubeeramu?
6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a 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 all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
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 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over 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 whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto 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 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
Ndifunira abantu bange Isirayiri ekifo ekyabwe ku bwabwe, balemenga okutawanyizibwanga. Abantu ababi tebalibacocca nate, nga bwe baakolanga olubereberye,
11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all 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 days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
Ennaku zo bwe ziriggwaako, n’owummula ne bajjajjaabo, ndikuza ezzadde lyo eririva munda yo likusikire, era ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
Oyo yalizimbira Erinnya lyange ennyumba, era ndinyweza entebe ye ey’obwakabaka bwe ennaku zonna.
14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes 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 took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
Naye okwagala kwange tekumuvengako, nga bwe kwava ku Sawulo, gwe naggya mu maaso go.
16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
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 words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
Nasani n’ategeeza Dawudi ebigambo byonna eby’okubikkulirwa kwe.
18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my 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; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of 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 David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.
“Kiki ekirala Dawudi kyayinza okukugamba, kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda omanyi omuddu wo.
21 For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
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 beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
“Ng’oli mukulu, Ayi Mukama Katonda! Tewali akwenkana, era tewali Katonda wabula ggwe, nga bwe twewuliridde n’amatu gaffe.
23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from 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 confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.
Onywezezza abantu bo, Isirayiri ng’ababo ddala emirembe gyonna era ggwe Ayi Mukama wafuuka Katonda waabwe.
25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
“Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda, otuukirize ekyo kye wasuubiza omuddu wo n’ennyumba ye okole nga bwe wasuubiza,
26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established 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 hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto 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 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
Ayi Mukama Katonda, oli Katonda, n’ebigambo byo bya mazima, era omuddu wo omusuubizza ebintu ebirungi.
29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
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.”
