2 Samuel 7
1 It happened, when the king lived in his house, and YHWH had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
Awo olwatuuka kabaka n’atereera mu lubiri lwe, Mukama n’amuwa okuwummula eri abalabe be bonna abaamwetooloola.
2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains."
N’agamba Nasani nnabbi nti, “Laba ntudde mu lubiri olwazimbibwa n’emivule, naye essanduuko ya Katonda eri mu weema.”
3 Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart; for YHWH is with you."
Nasani n’addamu kabaka nti, “Genda okole ng’omutima gwo bwe gukugamba, kubanga Mukama ali wamu naawe.”
4 It happened the same night, that the word of YHWH came to Nathan, saying,
Ekiro ekyo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Nasani nti,
5 "Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says YHWH, "Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
“Genda otegeeze omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Ggwe olinzimbira ennyumba ey’okubeeramu?
6 For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around 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 places in which I have walked throughout Israel, did I say a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built me a 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 you shall tell my servant David this, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people 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 have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and I will make for you a name like the name of the great ones of 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 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
Ndifunira abantu bange Isirayiri ekifo ekyabwe ku bwabwe, balemenga okutawanyizibwanga. Abantu ababi tebalibacocca nate, nga bwe baakolanga olubereberye,
11 and from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover YHWH tells you that he will build you a 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 it will come about when your days are fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your body, 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 will build a house for my name, and I will establish his throne forever.
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 commits iniquity, I will chasten him with a human rod, and with the stripes from human beings;
Nnaabeeranga kitaawe, naye aliba mwana wange. Bw’anasobyanga nnaamukangavvulanga n’omuggo ogw’abantu n’enga ez’abantu.
15 but my loving kindness I will not take from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
Naye okwagala kwange tekumuvengako, nga bwe kwava ku Sawulo, gwe naggya mu maaso go.
16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me, and your throne shall be established forever."'"
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 Nathan spoke to David.
Nasani n’ategeeza Dawudi ebigambo byonna eby’okubikkulirwa kwe.
18 Then king David went in and sat before YHWH and said, "Who am I, Lord YHWH, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
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 This was a small thing in your eyes, my Lord, and you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and you have let me look upon the generation of humankind to come, Lord YHWH.
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 more can David add to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, YHWH.
“Kiki ekirala Dawudi kyayinza okukugamba, kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda omanyi omuddu wo.
21 For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
Olw’ekigambo kyo n’olw’okusiima kwo, okoze ebintu bino ebikulu, n’obimanyisa omuddu wo.
22 Therefore you are great, Lord YHWH. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, 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 other nation on the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for himself, and to make a name for yourself and to do great and awesome deeds by driving out before your people, whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and it's 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 And you established your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, YHWH, became their God.
Onywezezza abantu bo, Isirayiri ng’ababo ddala emirembe gyonna era ggwe Ayi Mukama wafuuka Katonda waabwe.
25 And now, my Lord, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
“Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda, otuukirize ekyo kye wasuubiza omuddu wo n’ennyumba ye okole nga bwe wasuubiza,
26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, 'YHWH of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.
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 you have revealed to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
“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 "Now, O Lord YHWH, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
Ayi Mukama Katonda, oli Katonda, n’ebigambo byo bya mazima, era omuddu wo omusuubizza ebintu ebirungi.
29 Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord YHWH, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing."
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.”
