2 Samuel 7
1 It happened that after the king had settled in his house, and after Yahweh had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies,
Awo olwatuuka kabaka n’atereera mu lubiri lwe, Mukama n’amuwa okuwummula eri abalabe be bonna abaamwetooloola.
2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is staying in the middle of a tent.”
N’agamba Nasani nnabbi nti, “Laba ntudde mu lubiri olwazimbibwa n’emivule, naye essanduuko ya Katonda eri mu weema.”
3 Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do what is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
Nasani n’addamu kabaka nti, “Genda okole ng’omutima gwo bwe gukugamba, kubanga Mukama ali wamu naawe.”
4 But that same night the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,
Ekiro ekyo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Nasani nti,
5 “Go and tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: Will you build me a house in which to live?
“Genda otegeeze omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Ggwe olinzimbira ennyumba ey’okubeeramu?
6 For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up the people of Israel out of Egypt until this present day; instead, I have been moving about in a tent, a tabernacle.
Sibeeranga mu nnyumba okuva ku lunaku lwe naggya Abayisirayiri mu Misiri, ne leero. Ntambudde okuva mu kifo ekimu okudda mu kirala nga mbeera mu weema.
7 In all places where I have moved among all the people of Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”'”
Mu bifo byonna bye ntambudde n’Abayisirayiri bonna, nnina ekigambo n’ekimu kye nagamba abafuzi baabwe be nalagira okukulembera abantu bange, Isirayiri nti, “Kiki ekibalobedde okunzimbira ennyumba ey’emivule?”’
8 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.
“Kaakano tegeeza omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, ow’Eggye nti, “Nakuggya mu ddundiro gye walundiranga endiga ne nkufuula omukulembeze w’abantu bange Isirayiri.
9 I have been with you wherever you went. I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the great ones of the earth.
Mbadde naawe buli gy’ogenze, era nzikiririzza abalabe bo bonna mu maaso go. Ndifuula erinnya lyo okuba ekkulu, ne liba ng’erimu ku g’abasajja ab’ekitiibwa ennyo mu nsi.
10 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,
Ndifunira abantu bange Isirayiri ekifo ekyabwe ku bwabwe, balemenga okutawanyizibwanga. Abantu ababi tebalibacocca nate, nga bwe baakolanga olubereberye,
11 as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Now I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, I, Yahweh declare to you that I will make you a house.
okuva lwe nalonda abalamuzi okufuga abantu bange Isirayiri. Era ndikuwa ebiseera eby’emirembe abalabe bo baleme okukuyigganya. “‘“Mukama akugamba nti Mukama Katonda yennyini, alinyweza ennyumba yo.
12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up a descendant after you, one who will come out from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
Ennaku zo bwe ziriggwaako, n’owummula ne bajjajjaabo, ndikuza ezzadde lyo eririva munda yo likusikire, era ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe.
13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
Oyo yalizimbira Erinnya lyange ennyumba, era ndinyweza entebe ye ey’obwakabaka bwe ennaku zonna.
14 I will be a father to him, and he will be my son. When he sins, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the whipping of the sons of men.
Nnaabeeranga kitaawe, naye aliba mwana wange. Bw’anasobyanga nnaamukangavvulanga n’omuggo ogw’abantu n’enga ez’abantu.
15 But my covenant faithfulness will not leave him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
Naye okwagala kwange tekumuvengako, nga bwe kwava ku Sawulo, gwe naggya mu maaso go.
16 Your house and kingdom will be confirmed forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.'”
Ennyumba yo n’obwakabaka bwo birifuuka bya nkalakkalira ennaku zonna mu maaso gange, era entebe yo ey’obwakabaka erinywezebwa ennaku zonna.”’”
17 Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire vision.
Nasani n’ategeeza Dawudi ebigambo byonna eby’okubikkulirwa kwe.
18 Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh and said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family that you have brought me to this point?
Awo kabaka Dawudi n’ayingira n’atuula mu maaso ga Mukama, n’ayogera nti, “Nze ani, Ayi Mukama Katonda, n’ennyumba yange kye ki, ggwe okuntuusa wano?
19 Now this was a small thing in your sight, Lord Yahweh. You have even spoken about your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Lord Yahweh!
Gy’obeera ekyo tekimala, Ayi Mukama Katonda, oyogedde ku bigenda okubaawo mu biro eby’omu maaso ku nnyumba ey’omuddu wo. Bw’otyo bw’okolagana n’omuntu, Ayi Mukama Katonda?
20 What more can I, David, say to you? You have known your servant, Lord Yahweh.
“Kiki ekirala Dawudi kyayinza okukugamba, kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda omanyi omuddu wo.
21 For your word's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing and revealed it to your servant.
Olw’ekigambo kyo n’olw’okusiima kwo, okoze ebintu bino ebikulu, n’obimanyisa omuddu wo.
22 Therefore you are great, Lord Yahweh, for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, as we have heard with our own ears.
“Ng’oli mukulu, Ayi Mukama Katonda! Tewali akwenkana, era tewali Katonda wabula ggwe, nga bwe twewuliridde n’amatu gaffe.
23 What nation is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom you, God, went and rescued for yourself? You did this so that they would become a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself, and to do great and fearful deeds for your land. You drove out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you rescued from Egypt.
Era ggwanga ki mu nsi erifaanana ng’abantu bo Isirayiri, eggwanga Katonda lye yeenunulira, ne yeekolera erinnya, n’abakolera ebintu ebikulu eby’amagero bwe yagoba amawanga ne balubaale baabwe mu maaso g’abantu bo be weenunulira okuva mu Misiri?
24 You established Israel as your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, became their God.
Onywezezza abantu bo, Isirayiri ng’ababo ddala emirembe gyonna era ggwe Ayi Mukama wafuuka Katonda waabwe.
25 So now, Yahweh God, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. Do as you have spoken.
“Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda, otuukirize ekyo kye wasuubiza omuddu wo n’ennyumba ye okole nga bwe wasuubiza,
26 May your name be forever 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.
erinnya lyo ligulumizibwenga emirembe gyonna, n’abantu boogerenga nti, ‘Mukama ow’Eggye ye Katonda wa Isirayiri,’ era n’ennyumba ey’omuddu wo Dawudi erinywezebwa mu maaso go.
27 For you, Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, 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.
“Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri, ekyo okibikkulidde omuddu wo ng’ogamba nti, ‘Ndikuzimbira ennyumba,’ omuddu wo kyavudde ayaŋŋanga okuwaayo okusaba okwo gy’oli.
28 Now, Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are trustworthy, and you have made this good promise to your servant.
Ayi Mukama Katonda, oli Katonda, n’ebigambo byo bya mazima, era omuddu wo omusuubizza ebintu ebirungi.
29 Now then, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, Lord Yahweh, have said these things, and with your blessing your servant's house will be blessed forever.”
Kale nno okkirize okuwa ennyumba ey’omuddu wo omukisa enywerere mu maaso go ennaku zonna, kubanga ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda oyogedde, era ennyumba ey’omuddu wo eneebanga n’omukisa ennaku zonna.”
