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 a 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 a 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 a 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 a 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 sheep-cote, [even] from following the sheep, that thou shouldst 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 whithersoever 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 a 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 a 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 hitherto?
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 honor 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 of greatness and terribleness, 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 a 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.”
