1 Chronicles 17
1 After David began to live in his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It does not seem right that] I am here living in a palace made of cedar [wood], but Yahweh’s Sacred Chest is kept inside a tent!”
Inge Tokosra David el muta okak in lohm sin tokosra. Sie len ah el sapla nu sel Nathan mwet palu, ac fahk, “Inge nga muta in sie lohm orekla ke sak cedar, a Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan in lohm nuknuk se!”
2 Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you are thinking about doing, do it, because God is with/guiding you.”
Ac Nathan el fahk, “Oru ma nukewa ma kom nunku an, mweyen God El wi kom.”
3 But that night God spoke [MTY] to Nathan. He said,
Tusruk in fong sac, God El fahk nu sel Nathan,
4 “Go and tell my servant David that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one who should build a temple for me to live in.
“Fahla ac fahk nu sel David mwet kulansap luk, lah nga fahk, ‘Tia kom pa mwet se ac musai sie tempul nu sik ngan muta loac.
5 I have not lived in any building, from the day that I brought the people of Israel up [out of Egypt] until now. Instead, I have [lived in a tent], moving from one place to another with [the Israelis] when they moved to other places [DOU].
Oe ke pacl se nga tuh molela mwet Israel liki inpoun mwet Egypt ah nwe misenge nga soenna muta in sie tempul. Pacl nukewa nga muta in lohm nuknuk ac mukuiwot mukuime, acn nu ke acn.
6 Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never [RHQ] said to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead [MET] them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
In fufahsryesr luk nukewa yurin mwet Israel, wanginna pacl nga tuh siyuk sin mwet kol su nga sulela ah, lah efu ku elos tia musaela sie tempul ma orek ke sak cedar ah sik.’
7 Therefore, this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘I, the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and I appointed you] to be the ruler of my Israeli people.
“Ke ma inge, fahk nu sel David mwet kulansap luk, lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana fahk nu sel, ‘Nga eiskomla liki liyaung sheep inimae, ac oru tuh kom in leum fin mwet luk, mwet Israel.
8 I have (been with/helped) you wherever you have gone, and I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. And now I will cause you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the earth.
Nga tuh wi kom yen nukewa kom fahla nu we, ac nga tuh kutangla mwet lokoalok lom nukewa ye motom. Nga fah oru kom in pwengpeng oana mwet kol fulatlana fin faclu.
9 Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed them. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give not allow them to [be attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
Nga tuh sulela sie acn nu sin mwet luk mwet Israel, ac oakelosi we tuh elos in ku in muta ke acn selos sifacna, ac tia sifil aklokoalokyeyuk. Mwet koluk fah tia sifil akkeokyalos oana meet
ke pacl lun mwet nununku ah me, su nga tuh pakiya tuh elos in kol mwet luk, mwet Israel. Nga wulela nu sum lah nga ac karingin kom liki mwet lokoalok lom nukewa, oayapa nga fah oru in oasr tulik nutum.
11 When your life ends [EUP], and you [die and] go to be with your ancestors [who have died], I will appoint one of your sons to become king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
Ke kom ac misa ac pukpuki yurin mwet matu lom, nga ac oru sie sin wen nutum in tokosra, ac nga ac fah liyaung tokosrai lal in ku.
12 He is the one who will [arrange for] a temple to be built for me. And I will enable his descendants to be kings [MTY] of Israel forever.
El pa mwet se su ac musai sie tempul nu sik, ac nga ac fah oru fita lal in leum ma pahtpat.
13 I will be [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me. I stopped loving [Saul, ] the one who was the king before you became king, but I will never stop loving your son.
Nga ac fah papa tumal ac el fah wen nutik. Nga ac fah tia tulokinya kasru luk nu sel oana nga tuh oru nu sel Saul, su nga sisella tuh kom in tokosrala.
14 I will cause him to rule over my people [MTY], and his kingdom will endure forever [DOU].’”
Nga ac fah fililya tuh elan kol mwet luk ac tokosrai luk ma pahtpat. Ac fah wangin saflaiyen tokosrai lal nwe tok.’”
15 So Nathan reported to David everything that Yahweh had revealed to him.
Nathan el fahkang nu sel David ma nukewa ma God El akkalemye nu sel.
16 Then David went [into the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh my God, I am certainly not [RHQ] worthy for you to have done all these things for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
Na Tokosra David el som nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD, ac el muta nu ten ac pre, “O LEUM GOD, nga ac sou luk kupansuwol in eis ma nukewa ma kom oru tari nu sik.
17 “And O God, now, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations. Yahweh my God, you have acted toward me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
Ac inge, LEUM GOD, kom sifilpa oru yohk liki: kom orek wulela tari ke tulik nutik nwe ke yac yac fahsru, ac kom sifacna oru nu sik oana ngan sie mwet fulat.
18 “What more can I, David, say to you [for honoring me]? Although you know very well what I am like,
Mea pac nga ku in fahk nu sum! Kom arulana eteyu, a kom akfulatyeyu, mwet kulansap lom.
19 Yahweh, for my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done these great things [for me], and you have revealed to me these things [that you are promising to do].
Ma inge nukewa orek ke sripen lungse lom ac oakwuk lom, tuh kom in akkalemye nu sik ke ouiyen fulat luk tok.
20 “Yahweh, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, which is what we have always heard.
LEUM GOD, wangin sie oana kom. Kut nuna etu oemeet me lah kom mukefanna pa God.
21 And there is no nation in the world like Israel [RHQ]. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you rescued. You performed great and awesome miracles, rescuing our ancestors from [being slaves in] Egypt, and expelling the people of other people-groups [who were in Canaan].
Wangin pac sie mutunfacl fin faclu oana Israel, su kom molelosla liki kohs lalos tuh elos in mwet lom sifacna. Ma usrnguk ac wolana su kom oru nu selos, oru tuh Inem in pwengpeng fin faclu nufon. Kom tuh molela mwet lom liki facl Egypt, ac lusak mutunfacl saya ke mwet lom elos fahsr nu meet.
22 You have caused us your Israeli people to belong to you forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our God!
Kom oru tuh mwet Israel in mwet lom ma pahtpat, ac kom, LEUM GOD, pa God lalos.
23 “And now Yahweh, I pray that you will cause the things that you have promised to do for me and my descendants [MTY] to be fulfilled forever.
“Ac inge, LEUM GOD, oru tuh wuleang se su kom wulela keik ac ke tulik nutik in akpwayeyuk nwe tok, ac oru oana ma kom fahk mu kom ac oru.
24 When that happens, you [MTY] will be famous forever. And people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, is the God who rules Israel!’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants [MTY] of mine who will rule.
Pweng keim ac fah arulana yohk, ac mwet uh ac fah fahk nwe tok, ‘LEUM GOD Kulana, El God lun Israel.’ Ac kom fah karinganang tuh fita luk in leum in fwil nukewa.
25 “You, my God, have revealed to me that you will cause [some of] my descendants to become kings. So I am brave enough to pray like this to you.
Nga pulaik in pre nu sum ouinge, O God luk, mweyen kom akkalemye ma inge nukewa nu sik, mwet kulansap lom, ac kom fahk pac nu sik lah kom ac oru fwil nutik nukewa in tokosra.
26 Yahweh, you are God! You have promised to do these good things for me.
Kom, O LEUM GOD, kom pa God, ac kom orala wuleang wolana se inge nu sik.
27 And now you, Yahweh, have [promised to] bless my descendants [MTY], in order that they will continue to rule forever. That will happen because you, Yahweh, are the one who has blessed them, and you will keep blessing them forever.”
Nga siyuk sum tuh kom in akinsewowoye fwil nutik, tuh elos in engankin lungkulang lom pacl e nukewa. O LEUM GOD, kom akinsewowoyalos tari, ac mwe insewowo lom ac fah oan faclos nwe tok.”
