2 Samuel 7
1 Forsothe it was doon, whanne the kyng Dauid hadde sete in his hows, and the Lord hadde youe reste to hym on ech side fro alle hise enemyes,
Bere a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene no atenase wɔ nʼahemfi na Awurade ama asomdwoe aba asase no so no,
2 he seyde to Nathan the prophete, Seest thou not, that Y dwelle in an hows of cedre, and the arke of God is put in the myddis of skynnys?
Dawid frɛɛ odiyifo Natan se, “Hwɛ, mete ahemfi a wɔde sida asi mu, na Onyankopɔn Adaka no nso si ntamadan mu.”
3 And Nathan seide to the kyng, Go thou, and do al thing which is in thin herte, for the Lord is with thee.
Na Natan buaa ɔhene no se, “Biribiara a woadwene ho sɛ wobɛyɛ no, kɔ so na yɛ, na Awurade ka wo ho.”
4 Forsothe it was don in that niyt, and lo! the word of the Lord, seiynge to Nathan, Go thou,
Na anadwo no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Natan se,
5 and speke to my servaunt Dauid, The Lord seith these thingis, Whether thou schalt bilde to me an hows to dwelle ynne?
“Kɔka kyerɛ me somfo Dawid se, ‘Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Wone obi a ɛsɛ sɛ wusi dan ma me na metena mu ana?
6 For Y `dwellide not in an hows fro the dai in which Y ledde the sones of Israel out of the lond of Egipt til in to this dai; but Y yede in tabernacle and in tent,
Efi bere a mede Israelfo fi Misraim bae de besi nnɛ no, mentenaa ɔdan mu da. Daa wotu mʼase fi baabi kɔ baabi.
7 bi alle places, to whiche Y passyde with alle the sones of Israel? Whether Y spekynge spak to oon of the lynagis of Israel, to whom Y comaundyde, that he schulde feede my puple Israel, and seide, Whi `bildidist thou not an hows of cedre to me?
Bere biara a wotu mʼase a Israelman nyinaa ka me ho no, motee sɛ mibisaa wɔn sodifo, wɔn a mehyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnhwɛ me nkurɔfo Israelfo no se, “Adɛn nti na momfaa sida nsii ofi mmaa me da?”’
8 And now thou schalt seie these thingis to my seruaunt Dauid, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Y took thee fro lesewis suynge flockis, that thou schuldist be duyk on my puple Israel, and Y was with thee in alle thingis,
“Afei, kɔka kyerɛ me somfo Dawid se, ‘Sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni: Miyii wo fii mmoa adidibea ne nguan akyidi mu, de wo besii me nkurɔfo Israel so hene.
9 where euere thou yedist, and Y killide alle thin enemyes fro thi face, and Y made to thee a greet name bi the name of grete men that ben in erthe;
Na baabiara a wokɔ no, meka wo ho, na matwa wʼatamfo nyinaa afi wʼanim. Na mɛma woagye din wɔ asase yi nyinaa so.
10 and Y schall sette a place to my puple Israel, and Y schal plaunte hym, and Y schal dwelle with hym, and he schal no more be troblid, and the sones of wickidnesse schulen not adde, that thei turmente hym as bifor,
Na mama me nkurɔfo Israelfo no baabi a wɔbɛtena afebɔɔ. Beae bi a ɛwɔ bammɔ a obiara renhaw wɔn. Ɛhɔ bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa asase a aman amumɔyɛfo renhyɛ wɔn so, sɛnea wɔyɛɛ bere bi a atwa mu no,
11 fro the dai in which Y ordenede iugis on my puple Israel; and Y schal yyue reste to thee fro alle thin enemyes. And the Lord biforseith to thee, that `the Lord schal mak an hows to thee;
efi bere a mepaw atemmufo sɛ wonni me nkurɔfo so no. Mɛsan ama mo bammɔ afi mo atamfo nyinaa nsam. “‘Na Awurade aka akyerɛ wo se, ɔno Awurade na ɔbɛkyekyere ofi ama wo; ahemfo ntoatoaso fi.
12 and whanne thi daies be fillid, and thou hast slept with thi fadris, Y schal reyse thi seed aftir thee, which schal go out of thi wombe, and Y schal make `stidfast his rewme.
Na sɛ wo nna to twa a, mɛma wʼaseni a ofi wʼasen mu adi wʼade, na matim nʼaheman ase.
13 He schal bilde an hows to my name, and Y schal make stable the troone of his rewme til in to with outen ende;
Ɔno ne obi a obesi dan de me din ato so. Na matim nʼaheman mu ahengua ase afebɔɔ.
14 Y schal be to hym in to fadir, and he schal be to me in to a sone; and if he schal do ony thing wickidli, Y schal chastise hym in the yerde of men, and in the woundis of the sones of men.
Mɛyɛ nʼagya, na wayɛ me Ba. Sɛ ɔyɛ bɔne a, mɛma aman bi atwe nʼaso.
15 Forsothe Y schal not do awey my mercy fro hym, as Y dide awei fro Saul, whom Y remouede fro my face.
Nanso, merenyi me dɔ mfi ne so da, sɛnea miyi fii Saulo a miyii no fii wʼanim no so ansa na wubedii nʼade no.
16 And thin hows schal be feithful, and thi rewme schal be til in to with outen ende bifor my face, and thi trone schal be stidfast contynueli.
Wo fi ne wʼahenni betim wɔ mʼanim afebɔɔ; na wʼahengua betim daa nyinaa.’”
17 By alle these wordys, and bi al this reuelacioun, so Nathan spak to Dauid.
Enti Natan san kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn kɔkaa nsɛm a Awurade aka no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
18 Forsothe Dauid the kyng entride, and satt bifor the Lord, and seide, Who am Y, my Lord God, and what is myn hows, that thou brouytist me hidur to?
Na ɔhene Dawid kɔtenaa Awurade anim bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade Tumfo, me ne hena, na me fifo yɛ dɛn a wode me abedu nnɛ?
19 But also this is seyn litil in thi siyt, my Lord God; no but thou schuldist speke also of the hows of thi seruaunt in to long tyme. Forsothe this is the lawe of Adam, Lord God;
Na afei Otumfo Awurade, eyinom nyinaa akyi no, woka sɛ wobɛma me ahenni a ɛte hɔ daa. Woyɛ nnipa nyinaa sɛɛ ana, Awurade Tumfo?
20 what therfor may Dauid adde yit, that he speke to thee? For thou, Lord God, knowist thi seruaunt; thou hast do alle these grete thingis,
“Dɛn bio na metumi aka? Efisɛ wunim wʼakoa, Awurade Tumfo.
21 for thi word, and bi thin herte, so that thou madist knowun to thi seruaunt.
Wʼasɛm ne wo pɛ mu nti, woayɛ nneɛma kɛse yi nyinaa akyerɛ wo somfo.
22 Herfor, Lord God, thou art magnyfied, for noon is lijk thee, ne there is no God outakun thee, in alle thingis whiche we herden with oure eeris.
“Wo kɛseyɛ yɛ kokuroo, Awurade Tumfo! Obiara nte sɛ wo, Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ sɛ wo, na yɛntee onyame foforo bi mpo ho asɛm ɛ!
23 Sotheli what folk in erthe is as the puple of Israel, for which the Lord God yede, that he schulde ayenbie it to him in to a puple, and schulde sette to hym silf a name, and schulde do to it grete thingis, and orible on erthe, in castinge out therof the folk and `goddis therof fro the face of thi puple, which thou `ayen bouytist to thee fro Egipt?
Ɔman bɛn na ɛwɔ asase yi so a ɛte sɛ Israel? Ɔman foforo bɛn na woayi no afi nkoasom mu de wɔn ayɛ wo man? Bere a wuyii wo nkurɔfo fii Misraim no, wugyee din. Woyɛɛ anwonwade a ɛyɛ hu de pam aman ne ahoni ahorow a na wɔyɛ akwanside ma wo nkurɔfo no.
24 And thou confermidist to thee thi puple Israel in to a puple euerlastynge, and thou, Lord, art maad in to God to hem.
Woasi wo nkurɔfo Israel sɛ wʼankasa wʼade afebɔɔ, na wo, Awurade, woabɛyɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn.
25 Now therfor, Lord God, reise thou withouten ende the word that thou hast spoke on thi seruaunt and on his hows, and do as thou hast spoke;
“Na afei, Awurade Nyankopɔn, di bɔ a wohyɛ faa wʼakoa ne ne fi ho no so. Ma ɛnyɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa,
26 and thy name be magnyfied til in to withouten ende, and be it seid, The Lord of oostis is God on Israel; and the hows of thi seruaunt Dauid schal be stablischid byfor the Lord;
na ama wo din akorɔn afebɔɔ. Na nnipa bɛka se, ‘Asafo Awurade yɛ Israel so Nyankopɔn.’ Na ma wo somfo Dawid ahenni ase ntim wɔ wʼanim.
27 for thou, Lord of oostis, God of Israel, hast maad reuelacioun to the eere of thi seruaunt, and seidist, Y schal bilde an hows to thee; therfor thi seruaunt foond his herte, that he schulde preie thee bi this preier.
“Asafo Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, masi me bo abɔ saa mpae yi efisɛ woakyerɛ sɛ wobɛkyekye ofi a ɛyɛ daa ahenni ama me.
28 Now therfor, Lord God, thou art veri God, and thi wordis schulen be trewe; for thou hast spoke these goodis to thi seruaunt;
Awurade Tumfo, woyɛ Onyankopɔn! Wo nsɛm mu wɔ ahotoso, na woahyɛ wo somfo nnepa ho bɔ.
29 therfor bigynne thou, and blesse the hows of thi seruaunt, that it be withouten ende bifor thee; for thou, Lord God, hast spoke these thingis, and bi thi blessyng the hows of thi seruaunt schal be blessid withouten ende.
Afei, ma ɛnyɛ wo pɛ sɛ wubehyira wʼakoa fi so, na atoa so afebɔɔ wɔ wʼanim, na wo, Awurade, woakasa, na wo nhyira a wode behyira wo somfo fi no bɛyɛ daapem nhyira.”
