< 2 Samuel 7 >
1 And it came to pass, when the king had taken up his abode in his house, —and Yahweh had given him rest round about, from all his enemies,
Sima na mokonzi kovanda na ndako na ye mpe Yawe kopesa ye bopemi liboso ya banguna na ye nyonso oyo bazingelaki ye,
2 that the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See, I pray thee—I, have my abode in a house, of cedar, but, the ark of God, abideth in, the midst, of curtains.
mokonzi alobaki na mosakoli Natan: — Tala nanu likambo oyo! Ngai nazali kovanda na ndako batonga na mabaya ya sedele, kasi Sanduku ya Nzambe ezali kovanda kati na ndako ya kapo.
3 And Nathan said unto the king, All that is in thy heart, go—do, —for Yahweh is with thee.
Natan azongiselaki mokonzi: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na motema, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na yo.
4 But so it was, in that night, that the word of Yahweh came unto Nathan, saying:
Kasi na butu wana, Yawe alobaki na Natan:
5 Go and say unto my servant—unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh, —Shalt, thou, build me a house, for me to dwell in;
— Kende koyebisa Davidi, mosali na ngai: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Boni, yo nde okotongela ngai ndako mpo ete navanda kati na yango?
6 seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this day, —but have been wandering in a tent as my habitation?
Natikali nanu kovanda na ndako moko te, banda mokolo oyo nabimisaki Isalaele na Ejipito kino lelo; nazalaki kotambola bipai na bipai na se ya ndako ya kapo, wana nazalaki kovanda kati na Mongombo.
7 Wheresoever I have wandered with any of the sons of Israel, spake I ever, a word, with any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people Israel, saying, —Wherefore have ye not built me a house, of cedar?
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, Isalaele: ‹ Mpo na nini botongeli Ngai te ndako ya mabaya ya sedele? › »
8 Now, therefore, thus, shalt thou say unto my servant, unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I myself, took thee away from the pasture, from after the flock, —to become leader over my people, over 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.
9 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.
10 and will appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, —neither shall the sons of perversity again humiliate them, as at first;
Nakobongisa esika mpo na bato na Ngai, Isalaele; 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
11 even from the day when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, thus will I give thee rest from all thine enemies. And Yahweh must tell thee that, a house, will Yahweh make for thee.
mpe ndenge bazalaki kosala bango tango nyonso wuta tango oyo naponaki bakambi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele. Nakopesa yo bopemi liboso ya banguna na yo nyonso. › Yawe atatoli mpo na yo ete Ye moko akosala ete bokonzi ewumela kati na libota na yo.
12 And it shall be that, when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, which proceedeth from thine own body, —and I will establish his kingdom.
Tango mikolo ya bomoi na yo ekosila 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.
13 He, shall build a house for my name, —and I will establish his kingly 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.
14 I, will become his father, And, he, shall become my son: If he commit iniquity, then will I correct him, with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men;
Nakozala Tata mpo na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana mpo na Ngai. Soki asali mabe, nakopesa ye etumbu; nakosalela bato lokola fimbu mpo na kobeta ye.
15 But, my lovingkindness, shall not depart from him, —as I caused it to depart from Saul, whom I caused to depart from before thee.
Kasi nakotikala kolongola te bolingo na Ngai epai na ye ndenge nalongolaki yango epai ya Saulo oyo nalongolaki liboso na yo.
16 So shall thy house and thy kingdom be made steadfast unto times age-abiding, before thee, —thy throne, shall be established unto times age-abiding.
Libota na yo ya bokonzi mpe bokonzi na yo ekowumela tango nyonso liboso na Ngai, mpe kiti na yo ya bokonzi ekolendisama mpo na libela. »
17 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.
18 Then entered King David, and tarried before Yahweh, —and said—Who am, I, My Lord, Yahweh, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me, hitherto;
Bongo mokonzi Davidi akotaki, avandaki liboso ya Yawe mpe alobaki: « Nkolo Yawe, ngai nazali nani, mpe libota na ngai ezali nini, mpo ete okomisa ngai na esika oyo nazali?
19 and hast yet further made this seem little in thine eyes, My Lord, Yahweh, in that thou hast spoken, even of the house, of thy servant, for a great while to come? This, then is the law of manhood, O My Lord, Yahweh!
Ah Nkolo Yawe, lokola nde ekokaki te na miso na Yo, olobi lisusu na tina na lobi ya libota ya bokonzi ya mosali na Yo! Ah Nkolo Yawe, boni, ezali boye nde osalaka mpo na bato?
20 What more, then, can David yet further speak unto thee, —seeing that, thou thyself knowest thy servant, O My Lord Yahweh?
Nini oyo Davidi akoki lisusu koloba na Yo? Pamba te, oh Nkolo Yawe, oyebi mosali na Yo?
21 For the sake of thine own word, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, —making it known unto thy servant.
Ezali mpo na Liloba na Yo mpe kolanda mokano na Yo nde okokisi likambo monene oyo, mpe osali ete eyebana epai ya mosali na Yo.
22 For this cause, hast thou magnified thyself, O Yahweh Elohim, —for there is none like unto, thee, yea there is no God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Oh Nkolo Yawe, ozali monene ndenge nini! Moko te akokani na Yo; mpe, kolanda nyonso oyo toyoki na matoyi na biso, Nzambe mosusu azali te, bobele Yo!
23 Who, then, is like thy people, like Israel, a nation alone in the earth? whom God went to redeem for himself as a people, so to make himself a name, and to do for you the great deed, fearful things also for thy land, to make way for thy people, whom thou hadst redeemed for thyself, out of Egypt, [dealing with] nations and their god’s;
Ekolo nini ekokani na bato na Yo, Isalaele, oyo, kati na mokili, Nzambe akendeki kosikola lokola bato mpo na Ye moko, mpo na kopesa yango kombo mpe kokokisa makambo minene, makambo ya kokamwa mpe ya somo na nzela ya kobengana bikolo elongo na banzambe na bango liboso ya bato na Yo, oyo osikolaki wuta na Ejipito?
24 and hast established for thyself thy people Israel—for thyself as a people, unto times age-abiding, —thou thyself, also, O Yahweh, becoming their God.
Otiaki Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpo ete bazala bato na Yo mpo na libela; bongo Yo, oh Yawe, okomaki Nzambe na bango.
25 Now, therefore, O Yahweh Elohim, the word which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou, unto times age-abiding, —and do, as thou hast spoken:
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe Nzambe, kokisa mpo na libela elaka oyo opesaki epai ya mosali na Yo mpe epai ya libota na ye. Sala ndenge olakaki
26 that thy name may be age-abidingly magnified, saying, Yahweh of hosts, is God over Israel, and so, the house of thy servant David, be established before thee.
mpo ete Kombo na Yo ekumisama seko na seko, mpe bato bakoma kolobaka: ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali Nzambe ya Isalaele. › Boye bokonzi ya libota ya Davidi, mosali na Yo, ekolendisama liboso na Yo.
27 For, thou, O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, hast unveiled the ear of thy servant, saying—A house, will I build for thee. For this cause, hath thy servant found in his heart, to pray unto thee, this prayer.
Oh Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, olakisaki na mosali na Yo makambo oyo na koloba: ‹ Nakosala ete bokonzi ewumela na libota na yo. › Yango wana mosali na Yo azwi makasi ya kosambela Yo na maloba oyo.
28 Now, therefore, O My Lord, Yahweh, thou, art God, and, thy words, shall prove true, —therefore hast thou spoken unto thy servant this goodness.
Sik’oyo, oh Nkolo Yawe, ozali penza Nzambe! Maloba na Yo ezali solo, mpe olakaki makambo oyo ya malamu epai ya mosali na Yo.
29 Now, therefore, be pleased to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue age-abidingly before thee, —for, thou, O My Lord, Yahweh, hast spoken, therefore, with thine own blessing, shall the house of thy servant be age-abidingly blessed.
Sik’oyo, tika ete opambola libota ya mosali na Yo mpo ete ewumela seko liboso na Yo; pamba te oh Nkolo Yawe, Yo nde olobaki, mpe na nzela ya lipamboli na Yo, libota ya mosali na Yo ekopambolama mpo na libela. »
