1 Chronicles 17
1 And it comes to pass as David sat in his house, that David says to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH [is] under curtains”;
Davide atakhazikika mʼnyumba yake yaufumu, anawuza mneneri Natani kuti, “Ine pano ndikukhala mʼnyumba yaufumu yomanga ndi mitengo ya mkungudza, pomwe Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova lili mu tenti.”
2 and Nathan says to David, “All that [is] in your heart do, for God [is] with you.”
Natani anayankha Davide kuti, “Chitani chilichonse chimene chili mu mtima mwanu, chifukwa Mulungu ali nanu.”
3 And it comes to pass on that night that a word of God is to Nathan, saying,
Usiku umenewo mawu a Mulungu anafika kwa Natani, ndipo anati,
4 “Go, and you have said to My servant David, Thus said YHWH: You do not build for Me the house to dwell in.
“Pita kamuwuze mtumiki wanga Davide kuti, ‘Yehova akunena kuti, sudzandimangira ndiwe nyumba yokhalamo.’
5 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, and I am [going] from tent to tent, and from the Dwelling Place.
Ine sindinakhalepo mʼnyumba kuyambira tsiku limene ndinatulutsa Israeli mʼdziko la Igupto mpaka lero lino. Ndakhala ndikuyenda kuchoka mʼtenti ina kupita mʼtenti ina, kuchoka malo ena kupita malo ena.
6 Wherever I have walked up and down among all Israel, have I spoken a word with one of [the] judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
Konse ndakhala ndikuyenda ndi Aisraeli onse, kodi ndinanenapo kwa wina aliyense wa atsogoleri awo amene ndinamulamula kuweta anthu anga kuti, ‘Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani simunandimangire nyumba ya mitengo ya mkungudza?’”
7 And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the habitation, from after the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel,
Ndipo tsopano umuwuze mtumiki wanga Davide kuti, “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, Ine ndinakutenga ku busa ukuweta nkhosa, kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu anga, Aisraeli.
8 and I am with you wherever you have walked, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a name for you like the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth.
Ineyo ndinali nawe kulikonse kumene unkapita, ndipo ndachotsa adani ako onse pamaso pako. Tsopano ndidzakuza dzina lako kuti likhale mʼgulu la mayina a anthu otchuka kwambiri pa dziko lapansi.
9 And I have prepared a place for My people Israel, and planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to wear it out as at first,
Ndipo ndidzawapatsa malo anthu anga, Aisraeli ndipo ndidzawadzala pamalo awoawo kuti asadzavutitsidwenso. Anthu oyipa sadzawazunzanso monga ankachitira poyamba paja;
10 indeed, even from the days that I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I have humbled all your enemies, and I declare to you that YHWH builds a house for you.
monga akhala akuchitira kuchokera nthawi imene ndinasankha atsogoleri a anthu anga Aisraeli. Ine ndidzagonjetsanso adani anu onse. “‘Ine ndikulengeza kwa iwe kuti Yehova adzakhazikitsa banja lako.
11 And it has come to pass, when your days have been fulfilled to go with your fathers, that I have raised up your seed after you, who is of your sons, and I have established his kingdom;
Masiku ako akadzatha ndipo ukadzatsatira makolo ako, Ine ndidzawutsa mphukira yako imene idzalowa mʼmalo mwako, mmodzi mwa ana ako, ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa ufumu wake.
12 he builds a house for Me, and I have established his throne for all time;
Iye ndiye amene adzandimangira nyumba, ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa ufumu wake kwamuyaya.
13 I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son, and I do not turn aside My kindness from him as I turned it aside from him who was before you,
Ine ndidzakhala abambo ake, ndipo iye adzakhala mwana wanga. Ine sindidzasiya kumukonda monga ndinachitira ndi amene unalowa mʼmalo mwawo.
14 and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom for all time, and his throne is established for all time.”
Ndidzamuyika kukhala wolamulira nyumba yanga ndi ufumu wanga kwamuyaya. Mpando wake waufumu udzakhazikika kwamuyaya.’”
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
Natani anafotokozera Davide mawu onse avumbulutso limene analandira.
16 And David the king comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, O YHWH God, and what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
Choncho Mfumu Davide analowa mu tenti nakhala pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo anati, “Ine ndine yani, Inu Yehova Mulungu, ndipo banja langa nʼchiyani kuti mundifikitse pamene ndafikapa?
17 And this is small in Your eyes, O God, and You speak concerning the house of Your servant far off, and have seen me as a type of the man who is on high, O YHWH God!
Inu Mulungu, kukhala ngati izi ndi zosakwanira pamaso panu, Inuyo mwayankhula zatsogolo la banja la mtumiki wanu. Mwandiyangʼana ndipo mwandiyesa ngati munthu wolemekezeka kwambiri pakati pa anthu, Inu Yehova Mulungu.”
18 What more does David add to You for the honor of Your servant; and You have known Your servant.
“Kodi Davide anenenso chiyani kwa Inu, pakuti mwachitira ulemu wotere mtumiki wanu? Pakuti Inu mukumudziwa mtumiki wanu.
19 O YHWH, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart You have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
Inu Yehova, chifukwa cha mtumiki wanu komanso mwa chifuniro chanu, mwachita chinthu chachikulu ichi ndipo mwawulula malonjezo anu aakulu onse.
20 O YHWH, there is none like You, and there is no god except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
“Palibe wina wofanana nanu, Inu Yehova, ndipo palibe Mulungu wina koma Inu nokha monga tamvera ndi makutu athu.
21 And who [is] as Your people Israel, one nation in the earth whom God has gone to ransom to Himself for a people, to make a great and fearful name for Yourself, to cast out nations from the presence of Your people whom You have ransomed out of Egypt?
Ndipo ndi ndani wofanana ndi anthu anu Aisraeli, mtundu wokhawo pa dziko lapansi umene Mulungu wake anapita kukawuwombola, monga anthu akeake ndi kukadzitchukitsa yekha pochita zinthu zodabwitsa zazikulu, pothamangitsa mitundu ina pamaso pa anthu ake, amene Inu munawawombola ku Igupto?
22 Indeed, You appoint Your people Israel to Yourself for a people for all time, and You, O YHWH, have been to them for God.
Inu munawapanga anthu anu Aisraeli kukhala anuanu kwamuyaya, ndipo Inu, Inu Yehova ndinu Mulungu wawo.
23 And now, O YHWH, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, be steadfast for all time, and do as You have spoken;
“Ndipo tsopano Yehova, sungani kwamuyaya lonjezo limene mwachita ndi mtumiki wanu ndi banja lake, likhazikitseni kwamuyaya. Chitani monga mwalonjezera,
24 and let it be steadfast, and Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, [is] God to Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You;
kotero dzina lanu likhazikike ndi kukhala lotchuka mpaka muyaya. Ndipo anthu adzanena kuti, ‘Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa woyangʼanira Israeli, ndi Mulungu wa Israeli!’ Ndipo banja la mtumiki wanu Davide lidzakhazikika pamaso panu.
25 for You, O my God, have uncovered the ear of Your servant—to build a house for him, therefore Your servant has found [desire] to pray before You.
“Inu Mulungu wanga, mwaululira mtumiki wanu kuti mudzamumangira nyumba. Nʼchifukwa chake ine mtumiki wanu ndalimba mtima kupemphera motere.
26 And now, YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and You speak this goodness concerning Your servant;
Inu Yehova, ndinu Mulungu! Mwalonjeza zinthu zabwinozi kwa mtumiki wanu.
27 and now, You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time; for You, O YHWH, have blessed, and it is blessed for all time.”
Ndipo chakukomerani kudalitsa banja la mtumiki wanu kuti likhale pamaso panu mpaka muyaya. Pakuti Inu Yehova mwalidalitsa, lidzakhala lodalitsika mpaka muyaya.”
