2 Samuel 7
1 After [King] David began to live in his palace, Yahweh protected him from all his enemies.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ọba ń gbé ní ilé rẹ̀, tí Olúwa sì fún un ní ìsinmi yíkákiri kúrò lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
2 One day he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It is not right that] I am here, living in a [beautiful] house made of cedar [wood], but the chest that contains God’s Ten Commandments is kept in a tent!”
Ọba sì wí fún Natani wòlíì pé, “Sá wò ó, èmi ń gbé inú ilẹ̀ tí a fi kedari kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ń gbé inú ibi tí a fi aṣọ gé.”
3 Then Nathan said to the king, “Yahweh is helping/directing you, so do [regarding that chest] whatever you are thinking.”
Natani sì wí fún ọba pé, “Lọ, kí o sì ṣe gbogbo èyí tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ, nítorí pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.”
4 But that night, Yahweh said to Nathan,
Ó sì ṣe ní òru náà, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Natani wá pé,
5 “Go and tell my servant, David, that this is what [I], Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one [RHQ] who should build a temple for me to live in.
“Lọ, sọ fún ìránṣẹ́ mi, fún Dafidi pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, ìwọ ó ha kọ́ ilé fún mi tí èmi yóò gbé.
6 I have not lived in any building from the day that I brought the Israeli people up from Egypt until now. Instead, I have been living in a tent, moving from one place to another [when the Israelis] moved to other places.
Nítorí pé, èmi kò ì ti gbé inú ilé kan láti ọjọ́ tí èmi ti mú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gòkè ti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, títí di òní yìí, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti ń rìn nínú àgọ́, fún ibùgbé mi.
7 Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never said [RHQ] to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
Ní ibi gbogbo tí èmi ti ń rìn pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ǹjẹ́ èmi ti bá ọ̀kan nínú ẹ̀yà Israẹli, tí èmi pa àṣẹ fún láti máa bọ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi àní Israẹli, sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi kedari kọ́ ilé fún mi.”’
8 So this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels says that he took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and appointed you] to become the ruler of my Israeli people.
“Ǹjẹ́, nítorí náà, báyìí ni ìwọ yóò sì wí fún ìránṣẹ́ mi àní Dafidi pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, Èmi ti mú ìwọ kúrò láti inú agbo àgùntàn wá láti má tẹ̀lé àwọn àgùntàn, mo sì fi ọ́ jẹ olórí àwọn ènìyàn mi, àní Israẹli.
9 I have (been with/helped) you wherever you have gone. I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. I will enable you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of all the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the earth.
Èmi sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ níbikíbi tí ìwọ ń lọ, èmi sá à gé gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ kúrò níwájú rẹ, èmi sì ti sọ orúkọ rẹ di ńlá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ àwọn ènìyàn ńlá tí ó wà ní ayé.
10 Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed the Israelis. 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 them rest from [being 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].
Èmi ó sì yan ibìkan fún àwọn ènìyàn mi, àní Israẹli, èmi ó sì gbìn wọ́n, wọn ó sì má gbé bí ibùjókòó tiwọn, wọn kì yóò sì sípò padà mọ́; àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn búburú kì yóò sì pọ́n wọn lójúmọ́, bí ìgbà àtijọ́.

12 When your life ends [EUP] and you go to be with your ancestors, I will appoint one of your sons to be king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ rẹ bá pé, tí ìwọ ó sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ, èmi yóò sì gbé irú-ọmọ rẹ lékè lẹ́yìn rẹ, èyí tí ó ti inú rẹ jáde wá, èmi yóò sì fi ìdí ìjọba rẹ kalẹ̀.
13 He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built for me [MTY], and I will cause his [descendants] to be kings [MTY] [of Israel] forever.
Òun ó sì kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ mi, èmi yóò sì fi ìdí ìjọba rẹ kalẹ̀ láéláé.
14 I will be [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me [MET]. When he does something that is wrong, I will punish him as fathers punish their sons.
Èmi ó máa ṣe baba fún un, òun yóò sì máa jẹ́ ọmọ mi. Bí òun bá dẹ́ṣẹ̀, èmi yóò sì fi ọ̀pá ènìyàn nà án, àti ìnà àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
15 But I will not stop faithfully loving him as I stopped loving Saul, whom I removed from being king before you became king.

16 Your descendants will rule the kingdom [of Israel] forever. Their rule will never end. [DOU]’”
A ó sì fi ìdílé rẹ àti ìjọba rẹ múlẹ̀ níwájú rẹ títí láé, a ó sì fi ìdí ìtẹ́ rẹ múlẹ̀ títí láé.’”
17 So Nathan told David everything that Yahweh had told him.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ìran yìí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Natani sì sọ fún Dafidi.
18 Then David went into [the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh, my God, I am not worthy [RHQ] [for you to have done all these things] for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
Dafidi ọba sì wọlé lọ, ó sì dúró níwájú Olúwa, ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, ta ni èmi, àti kí sì ni ìdílé mi, tí ìwọ fi mú mi di ìsinsin yìí?
19 “And now, O Yahweh my God, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations.
Nǹkan kékeré ni èyí sá à jásí lójú rẹ, Olúwa Olódùmarè; ìwọ sì ti sọ nípa ìdílé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ pẹ̀lú ní ti àkókò tí o jìnnà. Èyí ha ṣe ìwà ènìyàn bí, Olúwa Olódùmarè?
20 “Yahweh God, what more can I, David, say to you [for honoring me]? Although you know very well [what I am like], Yahweh my God, you have done things for me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
“Àti kín ní ó tún kù tí Dafidi ìbá tún máa wí fún ọ? Ìwọ, Olúwa Olódùmarè mọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.
21 For my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done all these great things for me.
Nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ ọkàn rẹ, ni ìwọ ṣe ṣe gbogbo nǹkan ńlá wọ̀nyí, kí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lè mọ̀.
22 “Yahweh my God, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, just as we have always heard.
“Ìwọ sì tóbi, Olúwa Olódùmarè! Kò sì sí ẹni tí ó dàbí rẹ, kò sì sí Ọlọ́run kan lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí àwa fi etí wá gbọ́.
23 And there is no other nation in the world like Israel. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you went out to rescue [RHQ]. By the great and awesome things that you did, you have become famous/well-known throughout the world. As your people advanced [through this land], you expelled other people-groups [who were here in Canaan], who worshiped other gods.
Orílẹ̀-èdè kan wo ni ó sì ń bẹ ní ayé tí ó dàbí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, àní Israẹli, àwọn tí Ọlọ́run lọ rà padà láti sọ wọ́n di ènìyàn rẹ̀, àti láti sọ wọ́n ní orúkọ, àti láti ṣe nǹkan ńlá fún un yín, àti nǹkan ìyanu fún ilé rẹ̀, níwájú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, tí ìwọ ti rà padà fún ara rẹ láti Ejibiti wá, àní àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti àwọn òrìṣà wọn.
24 And you caused us Israeli people to be your people forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our God!
Ìwọ sì fi ìdí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, àní Israẹli kalẹ̀ fún ara rẹ láti sọ wọ́n di ènìyàn rẹ títí láé; ìwọ Olúwa sì wá di Ọlọ́run fún wọn.
25 “And now, Yahweh my God, [I pray that you will] cause the things that you promised to me about my descendants to be fulfilled forever, and [that you will] do the things that you said [that you would do].
“Ǹjẹ́, Olúwa Ọlọ́run, jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ náà tí ìwọ sọ ní ti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àti ní ti ìdílé rẹ̀, kí ó dúró títí láé, kí ó sí ṣe bí ìwọ ti wí.
26 When that happens, you will become 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 of mine who will rule.
Jẹ́ kí orúkọ rẹ ó ga títí láé, pé, ‘Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni Ọlọ́run lórí Israẹli!’ Sì jẹ́ kí a fi ìdílé Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ múlẹ̀ níwájú rẹ.
27 “Yahweh Almighty, the God whom we Israeli people [worship], you have revealed to me that you will make some of my descendants kings. For that reason, I have been brave enough to pray like this to you.
“Nítorí pé ìwọ, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli ti sọ létí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, pé, ‘Èmí ó kọ́ ilé kan fún ọ.’ Nítorí náà ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ sì ṣe ní i lọ́kàn rẹ̀ láti gbàdúrà yìí sí ọ.
28 So now, O Yahweh Almighty, because you are God, we can trust that you will do what you promise. You have promised these good things to me.
Ǹjẹ́, Olúwa Olódùmarè, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run náà, àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ sì jásí òtítọ́, ìwọ sì jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ nǹkan rere yìí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.
29 So now I ask you that if it pleases you, you will bless my descendants, in order that they may continue [to rule] forever. Yahweh God, you have promised these things, and [so I know that] you will keep blessing my descendants forever.”
Ǹjẹ́, jẹ́ kí ó wù ọ́ láti bùkún ìdílé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, kí ó wà títí láé níwájú rẹ, nítorí ìwọ, Olúwa Olódùmarè, ni ó ti sọ ọ́: sì jẹ́ kí ìbùkún wà ní ìdílé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ títí láé, nípasẹ̀ ìbùkún rẹ.”
