2 Samuel 7
1 When the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
O ruo mgbe eze nọsara ahụ nʼụlọeze ya, mgbe Onyenwe anyị mekwara ka o site nʼaka ndị iro ya nọ gburugburu zuru ike,
2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”
ọ sịrị Netan, bụ onye amụma, “Lee, mụ onwe m na-ebi nʼụlọ sida, ma igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke dị nʼime ụlọ ikwu.”
3 Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
Netan zaghachiri eze sị, “Ihe ọbụla dị gị nʼobi gaa nʼihu mee ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere gị.”
4 That same night, Yahweh’s word came to Nathan, saying,
Ma nʼabalị ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Netan ntị, na-asị,
5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
“Gaa gwa ohu m Devid sị ya, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ọ bụ gị ga-ewuru m ụlọ ebe m ga-ebi?
6 For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
Nʼihi na ebibeghị m nʼụlọ site nʼụbọchị m si nʼIjipt kpọpụta ndị Izrel ruo taa. Kama ana m ejegharị site otu ebe gaa ebe ọzọ, were ụlọ ikwu mere ebe obibi m.
7 In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, 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 ọchịchị ha, ndị m nyere iwu ka ha zụọ ndị m Izrel, sị, “Gịnị mere unu ewubereghị m ụlọ sida?”’
8 Now therefore tell my servant David this: ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over 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.
9 I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in 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 dị ukwuu, dịka aha ndị ikom dịkarịsịrị ukwuu nʼụwa.
10 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,
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,
11 and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.

12 When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
Mgbe ụbọchị gị nʼụwa zuru, mgbe i ga-esoro nna nna gị ha dinaa nʼọnwụ, aga m eme ka otu mkpụrụ gị bilie nọchie ọnọdụ gị, onye bụ anụ ahụ na ọbara gị, aga m emekwa ka alaeze ya guzosie ike.
13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
Ọ bụ ya ga-ewuru m ụlọ. Aga m eme ka ocheeze nke alaeze ya guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men;
Mụ onwe m ga-abụrụ ya nna. Ya onwe ya ga-abụkwara m nwa. Ọ bụrụ na o jehie, aga m eji mkpanaka mmadụ taa ya ahụhụ. Werekwa ihe otiti si nʼaka ndị mmadụ dụọ ya ọdụ.
15 but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

Ụlọ gị na alaeze gị ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi nʼihu m. A ga-eme ka ocheeze gị bụrụ ihe guzosiri ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’”
17 Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.
Netan ziri Devid ozi dịka okwu niile nke ọhụ ahụ si dị.
18 Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
Mgbe ahụ, eze Devid banyere nọdụ ala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, sị: “Onye ka m bụ, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, gịnịkwa ka ezinaụlọ m bụ, na ị mere ka m bịaruo nʼogogo ha otu a?
19 This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord Yahweh!
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, dịka a ga-asị na nke a bụ ihe dị nta nʼanya gị. Ugbu a, i kwuola banyere ọdịnihu nke ụlọ ohu gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, nke a bụkwa ụkpụrụ metụtara mmadụ efu.
20 What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.
“Ma gịnị ọzọ ka Devid ga-agwa gị? O, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na ị maara ohu gị nke ọma.
21 For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
Nʼihi okwu gị na dịka ọchịchọ obi gị si dị, i meela ihe a dị ukwuu, meekwa ka ohu gị mata ha.
22 Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
“Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, lee ka i si dị ukwuu! Ọ dịghị onye dịka gị. Ọ dịkwaghị Chineke ọzọ dị ma ọ bụghị gị, dịka anyị nụrụ ya na ntị anyị.
23 What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
Olee ndị dịka ndị gị, bụ Izrel, bụ otu mba nʼelu ụwa nke Chineke gara ịgbapụta dịka otu ndị nye onwe ya, na iji mere onwe ya 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?
24 You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

25 “Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
“Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke, debe nkwa a nke i kwere banyere ohu gị na ụlọ ya ka ọ dịrị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Mezukwaa ihe niile dịka nkwa gị si dị
26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’
Ka aha gị bụrụ ihe dị ukwuu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Mgbe ahụ, ndị mmadụ ga-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke na-achị Izrel’ A ga-emekwa ka ụlọ ohu gị bụ Devid guzosie ike nʼanya gị.
27 For you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
“O Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, Chineke Izrel, nʼihi na ị kpugheerela ohu gị ihe a, na-asị, ‘Aga m ewuru gị ụlọ.’ Ya mere, ohu gị ji nwee obi ike ikpere gị ekpere a.
28 “Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
O, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, ị bụ Chineke nʼezie. Okwu gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. I kweekwala ohu gị nkwa ihe ọma ndị a.
29 Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
Ugbu a biko, ka ọ masị gị ịgọzi ụlọ ohu gị, ka ọ dịgide nʼihu gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Nʼihi na gị, o Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya, sitekwa na ngọzị gị, ụlọ ohu gị ga-abụkwa ihe a gọziri agọzi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
