1 Chronicles 17
1 It happened that after the king had settled in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is staying under a tent.”
Thuutha wa Daudi gũikara nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki kwa ihinda, akĩĩra mũnabii Nathani atĩrĩ, “Niĩ njikaraga nyũmba ya ũthamaki yakĩtwo na mĩtarakwa, o rĩrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩigĩtwo hema-inĩ.”
2 Then Nathan said to David, “Go, do what is in your heart, for God is with you.”
Nathani agĩcookeria Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũrĩa ũreciiria gwĩka-rĩ, wĩke, nĩgũkorwo Ngai arĩ hamwe nawe.”
3 But that same night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Ũtukũ ũcio kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩgĩkinyĩra Nathani, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
4 “Go and tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: You will not build me a house in which to live.
“Thiĩ ũkeere ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Wee tiwe wa kũnjakĩra nyũmba ya gũtũũra.
5 For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up Israel to this present day. Instead, I have been living in a tent, a tabernacle, in various places.
Niĩ ndirĩ ndatũũra nyũmba kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarutire andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri nginya ũmũthĩ. Ndũũraga hema-inĩ, thaamaga kuuma handũ hamwe ngathiĩ harĩa hangĩ, ngoima gĩikaro kĩmwe ngathiĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
6 In all places I have moved among all Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd my people, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”'”
Kũrĩa guothe ndaanathiĩ na andũ a Isiraeli othe-rĩ, ndĩ ndooria mũtongoria o na ũmwe wa arĩa ndaathire marĩithagie andũ akwa atĩrĩ, “Mwagĩte kũnjakĩra nyũmba ya mĩtarakwa nĩkĩ?”’
7 “Now then, tell my servant David, 'This is what Yahweh of hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, so that you would be ruler over my people Israel.
“Na rĩrĩ, ĩra ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ: Ndaakũrutire rũũru-inĩ, ngĩgũtigithia kũrũmĩrĩra mahiũ nĩguo ũtuĩke mwathi wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
8 I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are on the earth.
Nĩngoretwo nawe kũrĩa guothe wanathiĩ, na ngakwehereria thũ ciaku ciothe ikehera mbere yaku. Rĩu nĩngũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩtuĩke inene o ta marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa anene mũno a thĩ.
9 I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them there, so that they may live in their own place and be troubled no more. No longer will wicked people oppress them, as they did before,
Na nĩngaahe andũ akwa a Isiraeli handũ na ndĩmahaande wega nĩgeetha magĩe na mũciĩ wao kĩũmbe, na matigacooka gũthĩĩnĩka. Andũ aaganu matigacooka kũmahinyĩrĩria rĩngĩ, ta ũrĩa meekaga kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ
10 as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Then I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that I, Yahweh, will build you a house.
na matũire meekaga kuuma rĩrĩa ndathuurire atongoria a gũtongoragia andũ akwa a Isiraeli. O na nĩngatooria thũ cianyu ciothe. “‘Na ningĩ ngũkwĩra atĩ Jehova we mwene nĩwe ũgũgwakĩra nyũmba:
11 It will come about that when your days are fulfilled for you to go to your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, and for one of your own descendants, I will establish his kingdom.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ maku magaathira nawe ũthiĩ ũgatũũranie na maithe manyu, nĩngarũgamia mũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku athamake ithenya rĩaku, agaakorwo arĩ ũmwe wa ariũ aku, na nĩngahaanda ũthamaki wake.
12 He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
Ũcio nĩwe ũkaanjakĩra nyũmba, na nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene nginya tene.
13 I will be a father to him, and he will be my son. I will not take my covenant faithfulness away from him, as I took it from Saul, who ruled before you.
Nĩngatuĩka ithe, nake nĩagatuĩka mũrũ wakwa. Ndikeheria wendo wakwa harĩ we, ta ũrĩa ndehereirie ũrĩa warĩ mbere yaku.
14 I will set him over my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.'”
Nĩngamũtua mwathi wa nyũmba yakwa na ũthamaki wakwa nginya tene; gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene gĩkehaanda nginya tene.’”
15 Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire vision.
Nathani akĩmenyithia Daudi ũhoro wa ũguũrio ũcio wothe.
16 Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family, that you have brought me to this point?
Nake Mũthamaki Daudi agĩtoonya, agĩikara thĩ mbere ya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ndĩkĩrĩ ũ, Wee Jehova Ngai, nayo nyũmba yakwa-rĩ, ĩkĩrĩ kĩ, atĩ nĩkĩo ũnginyĩtie nginya haha?
17 For this was a small thing in your sight, God. You have spoken of your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Yahweh God.
Na ta ũndũ ũcio ũrĩ o mũnini maitho-inĩ maku, Wee Ngai-rĩ, nĩwarĩtie ũhoro wa matukũ marĩa magooka makoniĩ nyũmba ya ndungata yaku. Na rĩu Wee Jehova Ngai, ũnyonete ta ndĩ mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa atũũgĩrie mũno.
18 What more can I, David, say to you? You have honored your servant. You have given your servant special recognition.
“Nĩ atĩa ũngĩ Daudi angĩkwĩra nĩ ũndũ wa gũtĩĩa ndungata yaku? Nĩgũkorwo nĩũũĩ ndungata yaku, Wee Jehova.
19 Yahweh, for your servant's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing to reveal all your great deeds.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yaku na kũringana na wendo waku-rĩ, nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ mũnene na ũgatũma ciĩranĩro ici nene imenyeke.
20 Yahweh, there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, just as we have always heard.
“Gũtirĩ ũngĩ ũhaana tawe, Wee Jehova, na gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga Wee, o ta ũrĩa tũiguĩte na matũ maitũ.
21 For what nation on earth is like your people Israel, whom you, God, rescued from Egypt as a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself by great and awesome deeds? You drove out nations from before your people, whom you rescued from Egypt.
Na nũũ ũhaana ta andũ aku a Isiraeli, rũrĩrĩ rũmwe gũkũ thĩ rũrĩa Ngai waruo aakũũrire rũtuĩke andũ ake, nĩgeetha wĩgĩĩre igweta, na wĩke maũndũ manene na ma magegania ma gwĩtigĩrwo, nĩ ũndũ wa kũingata ndũrĩrĩ ciehere mbere ya andũ aku arĩa wakũũrire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri?
22 You made Israel your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, became their God.
Watũmire andũ aku a Isiraeli matuĩke andũ aku mwene nginya tene, nawe, Wee Jehova, nĩũtuĩkĩte Ngai wao.
23 So now, Yahweh, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. Do as you have spoken.
“Na rĩrĩ, Jehova, tũma kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa weranĩire gĩkoniĩ ndungata yaku na nyũmba yake kĩrũme nginya tene. Na wĩke o ta ũguo wĩranĩire,
24 May your name be established forever and be great, so the people will say, 'Yahweh of hosts is the God of Israel,' while the house of me, David, your servant is established before you.
nĩgeetha kĩĩranĩro kĩu kĩĩhaande, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩnenehe nginya tene. Ningĩ andũ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩwe Ngai wa andũ a Isiraeli!’ Na nyũmba ya ndungata yaku Daudi nĩĩkehaanda mbere yaku.”
25 For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. That is why I, your servant, have found courage to pray to you.
“Wee Ngai wakwa, nĩũguũrĩirie ndungata yaku atĩ nĩũkamĩakĩra nyũmba. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata yaku nĩĩgĩĩte na ũmĩrĩru wa gũkũhooya.
26 Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have made this good promise to your servant:
Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ngai! Nĩwĩrĩire ndungata yaku maũndũ maya mega.
27 Now it has pleased you to bless your servant's house, that it may continue forever before you. You, Yahweh, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
Rĩu nĩwonete kwagĩrĩire ũrathime nyũmba ya ndungata yaku, nĩgeetha ĩtũũre nginya tene maitho-inĩ maku; nĩgũkorwo, Wee Jehova nĩũmĩrathimĩte, na ĩgũtũũra ĩrĩ ndaathime nginya tene.”
