2 Samuel 7
1 And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies round about,
O ruo mgbe eze nọsara ahụ nʼụlọeze ya, mgbe Onyenwe anyị mekwara ka o site nʼaka ndị iro ya nọ gburugburu zuru ike,
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.
ọ sịrị Netan, bụ onye amụma, “Lee, mụ onwe m na-ebi nʼụlọ sida, ma igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke dị nʼime ụlọ ikwu.”
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
Netan zaghachiri eze sị, “Ihe ọbụla dị gị nʼobi gaa nʼihu mee ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere gị.”
4 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,
Ma nʼabalị ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Netan ntị, na-asị,
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
“Gaa gwa ohu m Devid sị ya, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ọ bụ gị ga-ewuru m ụlọ ebe m ga-ebi?
6 for I have not dwelt in an house since the day 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.
Nʼihi na ebibeghị m nʼụlọ site nʼụbọchị m si nʼIjipt kpọpụta ndị Izrel ruo taa. Kama ana m ejegharị site otu ebe gaa ebe ọzọ, were ụlọ ikwu mere ebe obibi m.
7 In all 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 have ye not built me an house of cedar?
Nʼebe ọbụla m na-ejegharị nʼetiti ndị Izrel niile, ọ dị mgbe m sịrị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ọchịchị ha, ndị m nyere iwu ka ha zụọ ndị m Izrel, sị, “Gịnị mere unu ewubereghị m ụlọ sida?”’
8 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over my people, over Israel:
“Ma ugbu a, gwa Devid bụ ohu m, sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru: Mụ onwe m sitere nʼọhịa ebe ịta nri nke ụmụ anụ ụlọ, sikwa nʼebe ị na-azụ igwe ewu na atụrụ kpọpụta gị. Mee gị onye na-achị ndị m Izrel.
9 and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth.
Anọnyekwara m gị nʼebe ọbụla ị gara, kpochapụ ndị iro gị niile site nʼihu gị. Ugbu a, aga m eme ka aha gị dị ukwuu, dịka aha ndị ikom dịkarịsịrị ukwuu nʼụwa.
10 And 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,
Aga m ahọpụta otu ebe nʼihi ndị m Izrel, kụkwa ha dịka osisi ka ha biri nʼebe obibi nke aka ha; ka ha ghara ị bụkwa ndị a na-esogbu ọzọ. Ndị ajọ mmadụ agaghị emegbukwa ha dịka ha mere na mbụ,
11 and [as] from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover the LORD telleth thee that the LORD will make thee an house.
dịka ha na-emekwa siterị na mgbe m họpụtara ndị ndu nye ndị m Izrel. Aga m enyekwa gị ezumike site nʼebe ndị iro gị niile nọ. “‘Onyenwe anyị na-ekwupụtara gị, na Onyenwe anyị ya onwe ya, ga-eguzobere gị ụlọ.
12 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.
Mgbe ụbọchị gị nʼụwa zuru, mgbe i ga-esoro nna nna gị ha dinaa nʼọnwụ, aga m eme ka otu mkpụrụ gị bilie nọchie ọnọdụ gị, onye bụ anụ ahụ na ọbara gị, aga m emekwa ka alaeze ya guzosie ike.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
Ọ bụ ya ga-ewuru m ụlọ. Aga m eme ka ocheeze nke alaeze ya guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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;
Mụ onwe m ga-abụrụ ya nna. Ya onwe ya ga-abụkwara m nwa. Ọ bụrụ na o jehie, aga m eji mkpanaka mmadụ taa ya ahụhụ. Werekwa ihe otiti si nʼaka ndị mmadụ dụọ ya ọdụ.
15 but my mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
Ma agaghị ewezuga ịhụnanya m site nʼebe ọ nọ, dịka m si wezuga ya site nʼebe Sọl nọ, bụ onye m wezugara site nʼihu gị.
16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
Ụlọ gị na alaeze gị ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi nʼihu m. A ga-eme ka ocheeze gị bụrụ ihe guzosiri ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’”
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
Netan ziri Devid ozi dịka okwu niile nke ọhụ ahụ si dị.
18 Then David the king went 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 thus far?
Mgbe ahụ, eze Devid banyere nọdụ ala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, sị: “Onye ka m bụ, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, gịnịkwa ka ezinaụlọ m bụ, na ị mere ka m bịaruo nʼogogo ha otu a?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thine eyes, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, O Lord GOD!
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, dịka a ga-asị na nke a bụ ihe dị nta nʼanya gị. Ugbu a, i kwuola banyere ọdịnihu nke ụlọ ohu gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, nke a bụkwa ụkpụrụ metụtara mmadụ efu.
20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord GOD.
“Ma gịnị ọzọ ka Devid ga-agwa gị? O, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na ị maara ohu gị nke ọma.
21 For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it.
Nʼihi okwu gị na dịka ọchịchọ obi gị si dị, i meela ihe a dị ukwuu, meekwa ka ohu gị mata ha.
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.
“Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, lee ka i si dị ukwuu! Ọ dịghị onye dịka gị. Ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị ma ọ bụghị gị, dịka anyị nụrụ ya na ntị anyị.
23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?
Olee ndị dịka ndị gị, bụ Izrel, bụ otu mba nʼelu ụwa nke Chineke gara ịgbapụta dịka otu ndị nye onwe ya, na iji mere onwe ya aha, rụọkwa ọrụ ịtụnanya dị egwu dịkwa ukwuu nʼihi ha, site nʼịchụpụ mba dị iche iche na chi niile ha site nʼihu ndị gị, bụ ndị ị gbapụtara site nʼIjipt?
24 And thou didst establish to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
I meela ka ndị gị Izrel guzosie ike, dịka ndị nke gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ma gị onwe gị kwa, Onyenwe anyị, abụrụla Chineke ha.
25 And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.
“Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke, debe nkwa a nke i kwere banyere ohu gị na ụlọ ya ka ọ dịrị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Mezukwaa ihe niile dịka nkwa gị si dị
26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is God over Israel: and the house of thy servant David shall be established before thee.
Ka aha gị bụrụ ihe dị ukwuu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Mgbe ahụ, ndị mmadụ ga-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke na-achị Izrel’ A ga-emekwa ka ụlọ ohu gị bụ Devid guzosie ike nʼanya gị.
27 For thou, O LORD of hosts, the 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.
“O Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, Chineke Izrel, nʼihi na ị kpugheerela ohu gị ihe a, na-asị, ‘Aga m ewuru gị ụlọ.’ Ya mere, ohu gị ji nwee obi ike ikpere gị ekpere a.
28 And now, O Lord GOD, thou art God, and thy words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto thy servant:
O, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, ị bụ Chineke nʼezie. Okwu gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. I kweekwala ohu gị nkwa ihe ọma ndị a.
29 now therefore 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.
Ugbu a biko, ka ọ masị gị ịgọzi ụlọ ohu gị, ka ọ dịgide nʼihu gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Nʼihi na gị, o Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya, sitekwa na ngọzị gị, ụlọ ohu gị ga-abụkwa ihe a gọziri agọzi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
