1 Chronicles 17
1 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.
Awo Dawudi ng’amaze okukkalira mu nnyumba ye mu lubiri, n’agamba nnabbi Nasani nti, “Teebereza, nze mbeera mu lubiri olwazimbibwa n’emivule, naye nga essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama ebeera mu weema.”
2 Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee.
Nasani n’addamu Dawudi nti, “Ky’olowooza kyonna mu mutima gwo kikole, kubanga Katonda ali wamu naawe.”
3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Ekiro ekyo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Nasani nti,
4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
“Genda otegeeze omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti si gwe ojja okunzimbira ennyumba mwe nnaabeeranga.
5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
Sibeeranga mu nnyumba kasookedde nzija Isirayiri mu Misiri, okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero. Nvudde mu weema emu ne nzira mu ndala, ne nva mu kifo ekimu ne nzira mu kirala.
6 Wherever I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
Mu bifo byonna bye ntambuddemu ne Isirayiri yenna, nnina kye nnali ŋŋambye omulamuzi wa Isirayiri, kw’abo be nalagira okukulembera abantu bange nti, “Kiki ekibalobedde, okunzimbira ennyumba ey’emivule?”’
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepfold, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
“Kaakano nno tegeeza omuddu wange Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’eggye nti, nakuggya ku ttale ng’olunda ndiga, ne nkufuula omukulembeze ow’abantu bange Isirayiri.
8 And I have been with thee wherever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thy enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in 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 abamanyiddwa mu nsi.
9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
Era abantu bange Isirayiri ndibawa ekifo, kibeere ekifo kyabwe eky’olubeerera, nga tebatawanyizibwa, n’abantu ababi tebalibacocca, nga bwe baakolanga olubereberye,
10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thy enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
era nga bwe bakola kati kasookedde nnonda abalamuzi okufuga abantu bange Isirayiri. Ndikuwa obuwanguzi okuba omukulembeze w’abantu bange Isirayiri. Ndikuwa obuwanguzi eri abalabe bo bonna. “‘Nkirangirira gy’oli kaakano nti Mukama alikuzimbira ennyumba:
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days shall be ended that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
Ennaku zo bwe zirituuka, era n’ogenda okubeera ne bajjajjaabo, ndiyimusa ezzadde lyo okuba obusika bwo, omu ku batabani bo ddala, era ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe.
12 He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
Oyo y’alinzimbira ennyumba, era ndinyweza entebe ey’obwakabaka bwe emirembe gyonna.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
Ndiba kitaawe, naye aliba mwana wange, era sirimukyawa, nga bwe nakyawa oyo eyakusooka.
14 But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
Ye y’aliba omukulu mu nnyumba yange ne mu bwakabaka bwange emirembe gyonna, era entebe ye ey’obwakabaka eribeerera emirembe gyonna.’”
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
Awo Nasani n’ategeeza Dawudi ebigambo byonna eby’okubikkulirwa okwo.
16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?
Awo Kabaka Dawudi n’agenda n’atuula mu maaso ga Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Nze ani, Ayi Mukama Katonda, era ennyumba yange kye ki, gwe okuntuusa wano?
17 And yet this was a small thing in thy eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
Kino tekyali kitono mu maaso go, okwogera ku bigenda okuba ku nnyumba ey’omuddu wo, n’ontunuulira ng’omu ku basajja abasingirayo ddala ekitiibwa, Ayi Mukama Katonda.
18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
“Dawudi ayinza kwongerako ki ku ebyo okumuwa ekitiibwa bwe kityo, kubanga ggwe omanyi omuddu wo.
19 O LORD, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thy own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
Olw’omuddu wo Ayi Mukama Katonda, n’olw’okusiima kwo, okoze ebintu bino ebikulu, era n’osuubiza ebintu ebyo byonna ebikulu bwe bityo.
20 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
“Tewaliwo akufaanana, Ayi Mukama, era tewali Katonda mulala wabula ggwe, okusinziira ku bye twewuliridde n’amatu gaffe.
21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name by great and terrible things, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
Era ggwanga ki mu nsi erifaanana ng’abantu bo Isirayiri, eggwanga Katonda lye wanunula ggwe kennyini, ne weekolera erinnya, era n’okola ebikolwa eby’amaanyi, n’ebyewunyisa bwe wagoba amawanga okuva mu maaso g’abantu bo, be wanunula okuva mu Misiri?
22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thy own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
Abantu bo Abayisirayiri wabafuulira ddala babo emirembe gyonna, era ggwe Ayi Mukama wafuuka Katonda waabwe.
23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
“Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda, kye wasuubiza omuddu wo n’ennyumba ye kinywezebwe emirembe gyonna.
24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
Kola nga bwe wasuubiza, erinnya lyo ligulumizibwenga emirembe gyonna, n’abantu boogerenga nti, Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda afuga Isirayiri, ye Katonda wa Isirayiri! Era ennyumba ey’omuddu wo Dawudi erinywezebwa mu maaso go.
25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
“Ayi Katonda wange, wakibikulidde omuddu wo nti olimuzimbira ennyumba, era omuddu wo kyavudde ajja okukwebaza.
26 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness to thy servant:
Ggwe Ayi Mukama oli Katonda, era osuubizza omuddu wo ebirungi ebyo.
27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
Kaakano osiimye okuwa ennyumba ey’omuddu wo omukisa, ebeerewo emirembe gyonna mu maaso go kubanga, ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda ogiwadde omukisa, era egya kuba ya mukisa emirembe gyonna.”
