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”;
Thuutha wa Daudi gũikara nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki kwa ihinda, akĩĩra mũnabii Nathani atĩrĩ, “Niĩ njikaraga nyũmba ya ũthamaki yakĩtwo na mĩtarakwa, o rĩrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩigĩtwo hema-inĩ.”
2 and Nathan says to David, “All that [is] in your heart do, for God [is] with you.”
Nathani agĩcookeria Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũrĩa ũreciiria gwĩka-rĩ, wĩke, nĩgũkorwo Ngai arĩ hamwe nawe.”
3 And it comes to pass on that night that a word of God is to Nathan, saying,
Ũtukũ ũcio kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩgĩkinyĩra Nathani, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
4 “Go, and you have said to My servant David, Thus said YHWH: You do not build for Me the house to dwell in.
“Thiĩ ũkeere ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Wee tiwe wa kũnjakĩra nyũmba ya gũtũũra.
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.
Niĩ ndirĩ ndatũũra nyũmba kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarutire andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri nginya ũmũthĩ. Ndũũraga hema-inĩ, thaamaga kuuma handũ hamwe ngathiĩ harĩa hangĩ, ngoima gĩikaro kĩmwe ngathiĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
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?
Kũrĩa guothe ndaanathiĩ na andũ a Isiraeli othe-rĩ, ndĩ ndooria mũtongoria o na ũmwe wa arĩa ndaathire marĩithagie andũ akwa atĩrĩ, “Mwagĩte kũnjakĩra nyũmba ya mĩtarakwa nĩkĩ?”’
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,
“Na rĩrĩ, ĩra ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ: Ndaakũrutire rũũru-inĩ, ngĩgũtigithia kũrũmĩrĩra mahiũ nĩguo ũtuĩke mwathi wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
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.
Nĩngoretwo nawe kũrĩa guothe wanathiĩ, na ngakwehereria thũ ciaku ciothe ikehera mbere yaku. Rĩu nĩngũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩtuĩke inene o ta marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa anene mũno a thĩ.
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,
Na nĩngaahe andũ akwa a Isiraeli handũ na ndĩmahaande wega nĩgeetha magĩe na mũciĩ wao kĩũmbe, na matigacooka gũthĩĩnĩka. Andũ aaganu matigacooka kũmahinyĩrĩria rĩngĩ, ta ũrĩa meekaga kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ
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.
na matũire meekaga kuuma rĩrĩa ndathuurire atongoria a gũtongoragia andũ akwa a Isiraeli. O na nĩngatooria thũ cianyu ciothe. “‘Na ningĩ ngũkwĩra atĩ Jehova we mwene nĩwe ũgũgwakĩra nyũmba:
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;
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ maku magaathira nawe ũthiĩ ũgatũũranie na maithe manyu, nĩngarũgamia mũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku athamake ithenya rĩaku, agaakorwo arĩ ũmwe wa ariũ aku, na nĩngahaanda ũthamaki wake.
12 he builds a house for Me, and I have established his throne for all time;
Ũcio nĩwe ũkaanjakĩra nyũmba, na nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene nginya tene.
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,
Nĩngatuĩka ithe, nake nĩagatuĩka mũrũ wakwa. Ndikeheria wendo wakwa harĩ we, ta ũrĩa ndehereirie ũrĩa warĩ mbere yaku.
14 and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom for all time, and his throne is established for all time.”
Nĩngamũtua mwathi wa nyũmba yakwa na ũthamaki wakwa nginya tene; gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene gĩkehaanda nginya tene.’”
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
Nathani akĩmenyithia Daudi ũhoro wa ũguũrio ũcio wothe.
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?
Nake Mũthamaki Daudi agĩtoonya, agĩikara thĩ mbere ya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ndĩkĩrĩ ũ, Wee Jehova Ngai, nayo nyũmba yakwa-rĩ, ĩkĩrĩ kĩ, atĩ nĩkĩo ũnginyĩtie nginya haha?
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!
Na ta ũndũ ũcio ũrĩ o mũnini maitho-inĩ maku, Wee Ngai-rĩ, nĩwarĩtie ũhoro wa matukũ marĩa magooka makoniĩ nyũmba ya ndungata yaku. Na rĩu Wee Jehova Ngai, ũnyonete ta ndĩ mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa atũũgĩrie mũno.
18 What more does David add to You for the honor of Your servant; and You have known Your servant.
“Nĩ atĩa ũngĩ Daudi angĩkwĩra nĩ ũndũ wa gũtĩĩa ndungata yaku? Nĩgũkorwo nĩũũĩ ndungata yaku, Wee Jehova.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yaku na kũringana na wendo waku-rĩ, nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ mũnene na ũgatũma ciĩranĩro ici nene imenyeke.
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.
“Gũtirĩ ũngĩ ũhaana tawe, Wee Jehova, na gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga Wee, o ta ũrĩa tũiguĩte na matũ maitũ.
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?
Na nũũ ũhaana ta andũ aku a Isiraeli, rũrĩrĩ rũmwe gũkũ thĩ rũrĩa Ngai waruo aakũũrire rũtuĩke andũ ake, nĩgeetha wĩgĩĩre igweta, na wĩke maũndũ manene na ma magegania ma gwĩtigĩrwo, nĩ ũndũ wa kũingata ndũrĩrĩ ciehere mbere ya andũ aku arĩa wakũũrire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri?
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.
Watũmire andũ aku a Isiraeli matuĩke andũ aku mwene nginya tene, nawe, Wee Jehova, nĩũtuĩkĩte Ngai wao.
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;
“Na rĩrĩ, Jehova, tũma kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa weranĩire gĩkoniĩ ndungata yaku na nyũmba yake kĩrũme nginya tene. Na wĩke o ta ũguo wĩranĩire,
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;
nĩgeetha kĩĩranĩro kĩu kĩĩhaande, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩnenehe nginya tene. Ningĩ andũ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩwe Ngai wa andũ a Isiraeli!’ Na nyũmba ya ndungata yaku Daudi nĩĩkehaanda mbere yaku.”
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.
“Wee Ngai wakwa, nĩũguũrĩirie ndungata yaku atĩ nĩũkamĩakĩra nyũmba. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata yaku nĩĩgĩĩte na ũmĩrĩru wa gũkũhooya.
26 And now, YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and You speak this goodness concerning Your servant;
Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ngai! Nĩwĩrĩire ndungata yaku maũndũ maya mega.
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.”
Rĩu nĩwonete kwagĩrĩire ũrathime nyũmba ya ndungata yaku, nĩgeetha ĩtũũre nginya tene maitho-inĩ maku; nĩgũkorwo, Wee Jehova nĩũmĩrathimĩte, na ĩgũtũũra ĩrĩ ndaathime nginya tene.”
