1 Chronicles 17
1 And it came to pass, when David had taken up his abode in his house, that David said unto Nathan the prophet, Lo! I, am dwelling in a house of cedars, but, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, is under curtains.
Wana Davidi avandaki na ndako na ye ya bokonzi, alobaki na mosakoli Natan: — Nazali kovanda na ndako batonga na mabaya ya sedele, kasi Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ezali kati na ndako ya kapo.
2 Then said Nathan unto David, All that is in thy heart, do, —for, God, is with thee.
Natan azongiselaki Davidi: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na motema, pamba te Nzambe azali elongo na yo.
3 But so it was that, in that night, the word of God came unto Nathan, saying:
Kasi na butu wana, Nzambe alobaki na Natan:
4 Go and say unto David my servant, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Thou, shalt not build me a house, to dwell in;
— Kende koyebisa Davidi, mosali na Ngai: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Ezali yo te moto okotongela Ngai ndako mpo ete navanda kati na yango.
5 seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up Israel, until this day, —but have been from tent to tent, and without a habitation.
Banda mokolo oyo nabimisaki Isalaele na Ejipito kino lelo, natikali nanu kovanda na ndako moko te; nazalaki kaka kati na Mongombo, longwa na esika songolo kino na esika pakala.
6 Wheresoever I have wandered with all Israel, spake I ever, a word, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people, saying, —Wherefore have ye not built me a house of cedars?
Na bisika nyonso oyo natamboli elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele, boni, nasilaki koloba ata na moko kati na bakambi na bango, oyo natiaki mpo na kobatela bato na Ngai: ‘Mpo na nini botongeli Ngai te ndako ya mabaya ya sedele?’ ›
7 Now, therefore, thus, shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I myself, took thee from the pasture, from after the flock, —to become leader over my people Israel;
Yebisa sik’oyo Davidi, mosali na Ngai: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Ezali Ngai nde nazwaki yo na zamba epai wapi ozalaki koleisa mpe kobatela bibwele, mpo ete nakomisa yo mokonzi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
8 and was with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies, from before thee, —and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones, who are in the earth;
Nazalaki elongo na yo na bisika nyonso oyo okendeki mpe nabomaki banguna na yo nyonso liboso na yo. Sik’oyo, nakokomisa kombo na yo monene lokola bakombo ya bato minene oyo bazali kati na mokili.
9 and will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, —neither shall the sons of perversity again wear them out, as at the first;
Nakobongisa esika mpo na bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe nakolona bango mpo ete bazala na esika na bango moko mpe batungisa bango lisusu te. Bato mabe bakonyokola bango lisusu te ndenge bazalaki konyokola bango liboso;
10 even from the days when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, and have subdued all thine enemies, —that I might make thee great, yea, a house, will Yahweh build for thee.
mpe ndenge bazalaki kosala bango tango nyonso wuta tango oyo naponaki bakambi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele. Nakotia lisusu banguna na yo na se ya bokonzi na yo. Boye, nazali koyebisa yo ete Yawe akosala ete bokonzi ewumela kati na libota na yo.
11 And it shall be that, when thy days are fulfilled, to sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons, —and I will establish his kingdom.
Tango okosilisa mobembo na yo awa na mokili mpe okokende kokutana na batata na yo, nakotombola moko kati na bakitani na yo, oyo akobima penza na mokongo na yo, mpo ete akitana na yo; mpe nakolendisa bokonzi na ye.
12 He, shall build me a house, —and I will establish his throne unto times age-abiding.
Ezali ye nde akotonga Ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakolendisa mpo na libela kiti na ye ya bokonzi.
13 I, will become his father, and, he, shall become my son, —and, my lovingkindness, will I not cause to depart from him, —as I caused it to depart from him who was before thee;
Nakozala tata mpo na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana mpo na Ngai; nakotikala kolongola te bolingo na Ngai epai na ye ndenge nalongolaki yango epai ya mokonzi oyo alekaki liboso na yo.
14 but I will cause him to remain over my house and over my kingdom, unto times age-abiding, —and, his throne, shall be established, unto times age-abiding.
Nakotia ye mokonzi ya ndako na Ngai mpe ya mokili na Ngai mpo na libela, mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi ekolendisama mpo na libela. › »
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so, spake Nathan unto David.
Natan ayebisaki Davidi maloba oyo nyonso mpe emoniseli oyo nyonso.
16 Then entered King David, and tarried before Yahweh, —and said, Who am, I, O Yahweh God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto;
Mokonzi Davidi akotaki, avandaki liboso ya Yawe mpe alobaki: « Oh Yawe Nzambe, ngai nazali nani, mpe libota na ngai ezali nini, mpo ete okomisa ngai na esika oyo nazali?
17 and hast made this seem little in thine eyes, O God, in that thou hast spoken concerning the house of thy servant, for a great while to come? Thus wilt thou provide for me, according to the rank of manhood, and hast exalted me, O Yahweh God!
Mpe lokola nde ekokaki te na miso na Yo, Nzambe na ngai, olobi lisusu na tina na lobi ya libota ya bokonzi ya mosali na Yo! Oh Yawe Nzambe, ozali kozwa ngai lokola moto ya lokumu!
18 What, yet further, can David say unto thee, [thus] to honour thy servant, —seeing that, thou thyself, knowest, thine own servant?
Nini oyo Davidi akoki lisusu koloba na Yo mpo na lokumu oyo ozali kopesa na mosali na Yo? Pamba te, oh Yawe, oyebi mosali na Yo.
19 O Yahweh, for the sake of thy servant, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, —making known all the great things.
Oh Yawe, mpo na mosali na Yo mpe kolanda mokano na Yo, okokisi makambo minene oyo mpe osali ete bilaka minene oyo nyonso eyebana.
20 O Yahweh, there is none like unto thee, yea there is no God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Oh Yawe, moko te akokani na Yo; mpe, kolanda nyonso oyo toyoki na matoyi na biso, Nzambe mosusu azali te, bobele Yo!
21 Who then is like thy people Israel, a nation alone in the earth, —whom God went to redeem, to be his own people, to make for thyself a name for great and fearful things, to drive out, nations, from before thy people, whom thou didst redeem out of Egypt;
Boni, ezali solo na ekolo moko kati na mokili, oyo ekokani na bato na Yo, Isalaele; ekolo oyo, kati na mokili, Nzambe asikola bato na yango mpo na lokumu na Ye moko? Osalaki ete Kombo na yo ekende sango na nzela ya misala minene mpe ya somo oyo osalaki tango obenganaki bikolo liboso ya bato na Yo, oyo akangolaki na Ejipito.
22 and didst appoint thy people Israel for thyself as a people, unto times age-abiding, —thou thyself, also, O Yahweh, becoming their God?
Okomisi Isalaele bato na Yo mpo na libela, mpe Yo, Yawe, okomi Nzambe na bango.
23 Now, therefore, O Yahweh, the word which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be it steadfast unto times age-abiding, —and do as thou hast spoken:
Bongo sik’oyo, oh Yawe, tika ete elaka oyo opesaki epai ya mosali na Yo mpe libota na ye ekokisama mpo na libela! Sala ndenge olakaki.
24 yea let it be steadfast, and so let thy Name be magnified unto times age-abiding, saying, Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, is a God to Israel! seeing that, the house of David thy servant, is established before thee.
Boye, sala ete ekokisama, mpo ete Kombo na Yo ekumisama seko na seko mpe bato bakoma kolobaka: ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele, azali solo Nzambe mpo na Isalaele! › Boye bokonzi ya libota ya mosali na Yo, Davidi, ekolendisama liboso na Yo.
25 For, thou, O my God, hast unveiled the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build for him a house, —for this cause, hath thy servant found [it in his heart] to pray before thee.
Solo, Yo moko, Nzambe na ngai, olakisaki na mosali na Yo ete okosala ete bokonzi ewumela na libota na ye. Yango wana mosali na Yo azwi makasi ya kosambela Yo.
26 Now, therefore, O Yahweh, thou, art God, —therefore hast thou spoken concerning thy servant this goodness.
Sik’oyo oh Yawe, ozali Nzambe! Olakaki makambo ya malamu epai ya mosali na Yo.
27 Now, therefore, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be unto times age-abiding before thee, —for, thou O Yahweh, hast blessed, and it is to be blessed unto times age-abiding.
Osepeli sik’oyo kopambola libota ya mosali na Yo mpo ete ewumela seko liboso na Yo; pamba te ezali Yo, Yawe, nde opamboli yango, mpe epambolami mpo na libela. »
