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.”
Mgbe Devid nọsara ahụ nʼụlọeze ya, ọ sịrị Netan onye amụma, “Lee, mụ onwe m na-ebi nʼụlọ sida, ma igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị dị nʼokpuru ụlọ ikwu.”
2 Then Nathan said to David, “Go, do what is in your heart, for God is with you.”
Netan zaghachiri Devid, “Ihe ọbụla dị gị nʼobi, mee ya, nʼihi na Chineke nọnyeere gị.”
3 But that same night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Ma nʼabalị ahụ, okwu Chineke rutere Netan ntị, na-asị,
4 “Go and tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: You will not build me a house in which to live.
“Gaa gwa ohu m Devid sị ya, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Gị onwe gị agaghị ewuru m ụlọ ebe m ga-ebi,
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.
nʼihi na ebibeghị m nʼụlọ site nʼụbọchị m si nʼIjipt kpọpụta Izrel ruo taa. Kama e sitela m nʼotu ọmụma ụlọ ikwu baa na nke ọzọ, sitekwa nʼotu ebe obibi gaa ebe nke ọzọ.
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?”'”
Nʼebe ọbụla m na-ejegharị nʼetiti ndị Izrel niile, ọ dị mgbe m sịrị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ndu ha, ndị m nyere iwu ka ha zụọ ndị m, sị, “Gịnị mere unu ewubereghị m ụlọ sida?”’
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.
“Ma ugbu a, gwa Devid bụ ohu m, sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru: Mụ onwe m sitere nʼọhịa ebe ịta nri nke ụmụ anụ ụlọ, sikwa nʼebe ị na-azụ igwe ewu na atụrụ kpọpụta gị, mee gị onye na-achị ndị m Izrel.
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.
Anọnyekwara m gị nʼebe ọbụla ị gara, kpochapụ ndị iro gị niile site nʼihu gị. Ugbu a, aga m eme ka aha gị dịka aha ndị ikom dịkarịsịrị ukwuu nʼụwa.
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,
Aga m ahọpụta otu ebe nʼihi ndị m Izrel, kụkwa ha dịka osisi ka ha biri nʼebe obibi nke aka ha, ka ha ghara ị bụkwa ndị a na-esogbu ọzọ. Ndị ajọ mmadụ agaghị emegbukwa ha dịka ha mere na mbụ,
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.

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.
Mgbe ụbọchị gị nʼụwa zuru, mgbe ị gakwuru ndị nna nna gị ha, aga m eme ka otu mkpụrụ gị bilie nọchie ọnọdụ gị, ọ ga-abụ otu nʼime ụmụ ndị ị mụrụ. Aga m emekwa ka alaeze ya guzosie ike.
12 He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
Ọ bụ ya onwe ya ga-ewuru m ụlọ, aga m emekwa ka ocheeze ya guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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.
Mụ onwe m ga-abụrụ ya nna, ya onwe ya ga-abụkwara m nwa. Agaghị m ewezuga ịhụnanya m site nʼebe ọ nọ, dịka m mere onye bu gị ụzọ chịa.

Aga m eme ka ọ chịa ụlọ m na nʼalaeze m ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. A ga-emekwa ka ocheeze ya bụrụ ihe guzosiri ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’”
15 Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire vision.
Netan ziri Devid ozi dịka okwu niile nke ọhụ ahụ si dị.
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?
Mgbe ahụ, eze Devid banyere nọdụ ala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, sị: “Onye ka m bụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke, gịnịkwa ka ezinaụlọ m bụ, na ị mere ka m bịaruo nʼogogo ha otu a?
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.
O Chineke m, dịka a ga-asị na nke a bụ ihe dị nta nʼanya gị, ugbu a, i kwuola banyere ọdịnihu nke ụlọ ohu gị. Ma gị onwe gị Onyenwe anyị Chineke na-ele m anya dịka a ga-asị na m bụ onye ọnọdụ ya dị elu karịchasịa nke ụmụ mmadụ niile.
18 What more can I, David, say to you? You have honored your servant. You have given your servant special recognition.
“Gịnị ọzọ ka Devid ga-agwa gị, nʼihi nsọpụrụ i nyere ohu gị? Nʼihi na ị maara ohu gị nke ọma,
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.
O Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi okwu gị na dịka ọchịchọ obi gị si dị, i meela ihe a dị ukwuu, meekwa ka ọ mata nkwa ndị a niile dị ukwuu.
20 Yahweh, there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, just as we have always heard.
“Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghị onye dịka gị, ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị ma ọ bụghị gị, dịka anyị nụrụ ya na ntị anyị.
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.
Olee ndị dịka ndị gị, bụ Izrel, bụ otu mba nʼelu ụwa ndị Chineke ha gara ịgbapụtara onwe ya ka ọ bụrụ otu ndị, na iji mere onwe gị aha, rụọkwa ọrụ ịtụnanya dị egwu dịkwa ukwuu nʼihi ha, site nʼịchụpụ mba dị iche iche na chi niile ha site nʼihu ndị gị, bụ ndị ị gbapụtara site nʼIjipt?

23 So now, Yahweh, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. Do as you have spoken.
“Ma ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị, mee ka nkwa a nke i kwere banyere ohu gị na ụlọ ya bụrụ nke ga-eguzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Mezukwaa ihe niile dịka nkwa gị si dị,
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.

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.
“Gị onwe gị, Chineke m, e kpugheerela ohu gị na ị ga-ewuru ya ụlọ. Ya mere, ohu gị ji nwee obi ike ikpere gị ekpere.
26 Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have made this good promise to your servant:
Gị onwe gị, Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke. I kweekwala ohu gị nkwa ihe ọma ndị a.
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.”
