1 Chronicles 17
1 And it cometh to pass as David sat in his house, that David saith unto Nathan the prophet, 'Lo, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah [is] under curtains;'
Thuutha wa Daudi gũikara nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki kwa ihinda, akĩĩra mũnabii Nathani atĩrĩ, “Niĩ njikaraga nyũmba ya ũthamaki yakĩtwo na mĩtarakwa, o rĩrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩigĩtwo hema-inĩ.”
2 and Nathan saith unto David, 'All that [is] in thy heart do, for God [is] with thee.'
Nathani agĩcookeria Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũrĩa ũreciiria gwĩka-rĩ, wĩke, nĩgũkorwo Ngai arĩ hamwe nawe.”
3 And it cometh to pass on that night that a word of God is unto Nathan, saying,
Ũtukũ ũcio kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩgĩkinyĩra Nathani, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
4 'Go, and thou hast said unto David My servant, Thus said Jehovah, Thou dost not build for Me the house to dwell in:
“Thiĩ ũkeere ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Wee tiwe wa kũnjakĩra nyũmba ya gũtũũra.
5 for I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel till this day, and I am from tent unto tent: and from the tabernacle,
Niĩ ndirĩ ndatũũra nyũmba kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarutire andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri nginya ũmũthĩ. Ndũũraga hema-inĩ, thaamaga kuuma handũ hamwe ngathiĩ harĩa hangĩ, ngoima gĩikaro kĩmwe ngathiĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
6 whithersoever I have walked up and down among all Israel, a word spake I, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have ye not built for Me a house of cedars?
Kũrĩa guothe ndaanathiĩ na andũ a Isiraeli othe-rĩ, ndĩ ndooria mũtongoria o na ũmwe wa arĩa ndaathire marĩithagie andũ akwa atĩrĩ, “Mwagĩte kũnjakĩra nyũmba ya mĩtarakwa nĩkĩ?”’
7 'And now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the habitation, from after the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel,
“Na rĩrĩ, ĩra ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ: Ndaakũrutire rũũru-inĩ, ngĩgũtigithia kũrũmĩrĩra mahiũ nĩguo ũtuĩke mwathi wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
8 and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and I cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a name like the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth.
Nĩngoretwo nawe kũrĩa guothe wanathiĩ, na ngakwehereria thũ ciaku ciothe ikehera mbere yaku. Rĩu nĩngũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩtuĩke inene o ta marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa anene mũno a thĩ.
9 'And I have prepared a place for My people Israel, and planted it, and it hath dwelt in its place, and is not troubled any more, and the sons of perverseness add not to wear it out as at first,
Na nĩngaahe andũ akwa a Isiraeli handũ na ndĩmahaande wega nĩgeetha magĩe na mũciĩ wao kĩũmbe, na matigacooka gũthĩĩnĩka. Andũ aaganu matigacooka kũmahinyĩrĩria rĩngĩ, ta ũrĩa meekaga kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ
10 yea, even from the days that I appointed judges over My people Israel. 'And I have humbled all thine enemies, and I declare to thee that a house doth Jehovah build for thee,
na matũire meekaga kuuma rĩrĩa ndathuurire atongoria a gũtongoragia andũ akwa a Isiraeli. O na nĩngatooria thũ cianyu ciothe. “‘Na ningĩ ngũkwĩra atĩ Jehova we mwene nĩwe ũgũgwakĩra nyũmba:
11 and it hath come to pass, when thy days have been fulfilled to go with thy fathers, that I have raised up thy seed after thee, who is of thy sons, and I have established his kingdom,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ maku magaathira nawe ũthiĩ ũgatũũranie na maithe manyu, nĩngarũgamia mũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku athamake ithenya rĩaku, agaakorwo arĩ ũmwe wa ariũ aku, na nĩngahaanda ũthamaki wake.
12 he doth build for Me a house, and I have established his throne unto the age;
Ũcio nĩwe ũkaanjakĩra nyũmba, na nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene nginya tene.
13 I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son, and My kindness I turn not aside from him as I turned it aside from him who was before thee,
Nĩngatuĩka ithe, nake nĩagatuĩka mũrũ wakwa. Ndikeheria wendo wakwa harĩ we, ta ũrĩa ndehereirie ũrĩa warĩ mbere yaku.
14 and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom unto the age, and his throne is established unto the age.'
Nĩngamũtua mwathi wa nyũmba yakwa na ũthamaki wakwa nginya tene; gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene gĩkehaanda nginya tene.’”
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.
Nathani akĩmenyithia Daudi ũhoro wa ũguũrio ũcio wothe.
16 And David the king cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, 'Who [am] I, O Jehovah God, and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
Nake Mũthamaki Daudi agĩtoonya, agĩikara thĩ mbere ya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ndĩkĩrĩ ũ, Wee Jehova Ngai, nayo nyũmba yakwa-rĩ, ĩkĩrĩ kĩ, atĩ nĩkĩo ũnginyĩtie nginya haha?
17 And this is small in Thine eyes, O God, and Thou speakest concerning the house of thy servant afar off, and hast seen me as a type of the man who is on high, O Jehovah God!
Na ta ũndũ ũcio ũrĩ o mũnini maitho-inĩ maku, Wee Ngai-rĩ, nĩwarĩtie ũhoro wa matukũ marĩa magooka makoniĩ nyũmba ya ndungata yaku. Na rĩu Wee Jehova Ngai, ũnyonete ta ndĩ mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa atũũgĩrie mũno.
18 'What doth David add more unto Thee for the honour of Thy servant; and Thou Thy servant hast known.
“Nĩ atĩa ũngĩ Daudi angĩkwĩra nĩ ũndũ wa gũtĩĩa ndungata yaku? Nĩgũkorwo nĩũũĩ ndungata yaku, Wee Jehova.
19 O Jehovah, for Thy servant's sake, and according to Thine own heart Thou hast done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yaku na kũringana na wendo waku-rĩ, nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ mũnene na ũgatũma ciĩranĩro ici nene imenyeke.
20 O Jehovah, there is none like Thee, and there is no god save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
“Gũtirĩ ũngĩ ũhaana tawe, Wee Jehova, na gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga Wee, o ta ũrĩa tũiguĩte na matũ maitũ.
21 'And who [is] as Thy people Israel, one nation in the earth whom God hath gone to ransom to Him for a people, to make for Thee a name great and fearful, to cast out from the presence of Thy people whom Thou hast ransomed out of Egypt — nations?
Na nũũ ũhaana ta andũ aku a Isiraeli, rũrĩrĩ rũmwe gũkũ thĩ rũrĩa Ngai waruo aakũũrire rũtuĩke andũ ake, nĩgeetha wĩgĩĩre igweta, na wĩke maũndũ manene na ma magegania ma gwĩtigĩrwo, nĩ ũndũ wa kũingata ndũrĩrĩ ciehere mbere ya andũ aku arĩa wakũũrire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri?
22 Yea, Thou dost appoint Thy people Israel to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, O Jehovah, hast been to them for God.
Watũmire andũ aku a Isiraeli matuĩke andũ aku mwene nginya tene, nawe, Wee Jehova, nĩũtuĩkĩte Ngai wao.
23 'And now, O Jehovah, the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, let be stedfast unto the age, and do as Thou hast spoken;
“Na rĩrĩ, Jehova, tũma kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa weranĩire gĩkoniĩ ndungata yaku na nyũmba yake kĩrũme nginya tene. Na wĩke o ta ũguo wĩranĩire,
24 and let it be stedfast, and Thy name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, is God to Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee;
nĩgeetha kĩĩranĩro kĩu kĩĩhaande, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩnenehe nginya tene. Ningĩ andũ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩwe Ngai wa andũ a Isiraeli!’ Na nyũmba ya ndungata yaku Daudi nĩĩkehaanda mbere yaku.”
25 for Thou, O my God, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant — to build to him a house, therefore hath Thy servant found to pray before Thee.
“Wee Ngai wakwa, nĩũguũrĩirie ndungata yaku atĩ nĩũkamĩakĩra nyũmba. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata yaku nĩĩgĩĩte na ũmĩrĩru wa gũkũhooya.
26 'And now, Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thou speakest concerning Thy servant this goodness;
Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ngai! Nĩwĩrĩire ndungata yaku maũndũ maya mega.
27 and now, Thou hast been pleased to bless the house of Thy servant, to be to the age before Thee; for Thou, O Jehovah, hast blessed, and it is blessed to the age.'
Rĩu nĩwonete kwagĩrĩire ũrathime nyũmba ya ndungata yaku, nĩgeetha ĩtũũre nginya tene maitho-inĩ maku; nĩgũkorwo, Wee Jehova nĩũmĩrathimĩte, na ĩgũtũũra ĩrĩ ndaathime nginya tene.”
