Samuel 2 7
1 Azɔ la, esime fia la li ke ɖe eƒe fiasã me vɔ eye Yehowa na gbɔɖemee tso eƒe futɔ siwo katã ƒo xlãe ƒe asi me la,
Afterwarde when the King sate in his house and the Lord had giuen him rest rounde about from all his enemies,
2 David gblɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Natan be, “Kpɔ ɖa! Nye ya mele sedatifiasã nyui sia me le esime Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la le agbadɔ me.”
The King saide vnto Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, nowe I dwel in an house of cedar trees, and the Arke of God remayneth within the curtaines.
3 Natan ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Wɔ nu si nèɖo be yeawɔ elabena Yehowa li kpli wò.”
Then Nathan sayde vnto the King, Go, and doe all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.
4 Ke Yehowa gblɔ na Natan le zã ma me be,
And the same night the worde of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying,
5 “Yi nàgblɔ na nye dɔla David be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Ɖe wòle be nàtu xɔ nam manɔ emea?
Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord, Shalt thou buylde me an house for my dwelling?
6 Nyemenɔ xɔ aɖeke me kpɔ o, tso esime mekplɔ mi Israelviwo tso Egipte la, agbadɔ me koe nye nye nɔƒe.
For I haue dwelt in no house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt vnto this day, but haue walked in a tent and tabernacle.
7 Afi sia afi si meɖe zɔ kple Israelviwo yi la, ɖe megblɔ na woƒe kplɔla siwo mede se na be woakplɔ nye dukɔ la dometɔ aɖe kpɔ be, “Nu ka ŋutie mietu sedatixɔ nam o mahã?”’
In al the places wherein I haue walked with all the children of Israel, spake I one worde with any of the tribes of Israel when I commanded the iudges to feede my people Israel? or sayde I, Why build ye not me an house of cedar trees?
8 “Azɔ la, gblɔ na nye dɔla David be, ‘Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la le gbɔgblɔm na wò be; meɖe wò le alẽkplɔdɔ nu eye meɖo wò fiae ɖe nye dukɔ Israel dzi.
Nowe therefore so say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord of hostes, I tooke thee from the sheepecote following the sheepe, that thou mightest bee ruler ouer my people, ouer Israel.
9 Menɔ kpli wò le afi sia afi si nède eye metsrɔ̃ wò futɔwo. Mana wò ŋkɔ nagade dzi wu ale si wòle fifia ale be nànye ame xɔŋkɔtɔwo dometɔ ɖeka le xexea me!
And I was with thee wheresoeuer thou hast walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and haue made thee a great name, like vnto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10 Mana teƒe aɖe nye amewo, Israel. Maɖo teƒe na wo ɖe afi ma ale be aƒe nanɔ woawo ŋutɔ si eye ame aɖeke magaɖe fu na wo o. Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo magate wo ɖe anyi azɔ abe ale si wowɔ le gɔmedzedzea ene
(Also I will appoynt a place for my people Israel, and will plant it, that they may dwell in a place of their owne, and moue no more, neither shall wicked people trouble them any more as before time,
11 alo abe ale si wowɔ tso esime meɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ɖe nye dukɔ, Israel dzi ene o. Mana miavo tso miaƒe futɔwo ƒe asi me azɔ. “‘Yehowa ɖe gbeƒã na wò be, Yehowa ŋutɔ aɖo aƒe aɖe gɔme anyi na wò.
And since the time that I set Iudges ouer my people of Israel) and I will giue thee rest from al thine enemies: also the Lord telleth thee, that he will make thee an house.
12 Ne wò ɣeyiɣi de le anyigba sia dzi eye nèku la, matsɔ viwò si nye wò ŋutɔ wò ŋutilã kple wò ʋu, aɖo wò fiazikpui la dzi eye mana eƒe fiaɖuƒe nakpɔ ŋusẽ.
And when thy daies bee fulfilled, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and I wil set vp thy seede after thee, which shall proceede out of thy body, and will stablish his kingdome.
13 Eyae anye ame si atu gbedoxɔ nam eye mana eƒe fiaɖuƒe nanɔ anyi ɖaa.
He shall buyld an house for my Name, and I will stablish ye throne of his kingdome for euer.
14 Manye fofo nɛ eye eya hã anye vi nam. Ne ewɔ nu vɔ̃ la, mawɔ dukɔ bubuwo ŋu dɔ atsɔ ahe to nɛ,
I will be his father, and hee shall bee my sonne: and if he sinne, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of men.
15 ke nye lɔlɔ̃ maɖe ɖa le edzi abe ale si meɖee ɖa le Saul, ame si ɖu fia do ŋgɔ na wò la dzi ene o.
But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I tooke it from Saul whome I haue put away before thee.
16 Wò aƒe kple wò fiaɖuƒe anɔ anyi tegbee le ŋkunye me, eye wò fiazikpui ali ke tegbee.’”
And thine house shall be stablished and thy kingdome for euer before thee, euen thy throne shalbe stablished for euer.
17 Ale Natan gblɔ nya sia nya si Yehowa gblɔ la na David.
According to all these wordes, and according to all this vision, Nathan spake thus vnto Dauid.
18 Ale Fia David ɖanɔ anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume eye wòdo gbe ɖa be, “Oo, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, ame kae menye eye nu kae nye nye ƒome be nètsɔ nu siawo katã nam?
Then King Dauid went in, and sate before the Lord, and sayde, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19 Abe esia ɖe mesɔ gbɔ le wò ŋkume o ene la, Oo Aƒetɔ Yehowa, ègaƒo nu tso nu si wò dɔla ƒe aƒe ava nye le etsɔ me la ŋuti. Oo Aƒetɔ Yehowa, alea koe nènɔna kple amewoa?
And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God, therefore thou hast spoken also of thy seruants house for a great while: but doth this appertaine to man, O Lord God?
20 “Nya kae gale David si wòagblɔ na wò? Elabena, Oo Aƒetɔ Yehowa, ènya wò dɔla.
And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy seruant.
21 Le wò nya la ta kple wò lɔlɔ̃nu me, nèwɔ nu gã sia eye nèna wò dɔla nya.
For thy words sake, and according to thine owne heart hast thou done all these great things, to make them knowen vnto thy seruant.
22 “Oo Aƒetɔ Yehowa, èlolo loo! Ame aɖeke mele abe wò ene o eye mawu bubu aɖeke meli o, negbe wò, Mawu ko, abe ale si míesee kple míaƒe towo ene.
Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that wee haue heard with our eares.
23 Azɔ la, dukɔ kae le abe wò dukɔ, Israel ene, dukɔ ɖeka si le anyigba dzi, esi ƒe Mawu ɖaɖe dukɔ ma na eɖokui? Eye wòwɔ ŋkɔ na eɖokui to nukunu gãwo kple ŋɔdzinu dzɔatsuwo wɔwɔ me eye nènya dukɔwo kpe woƒe mawuwo le wò dukɔ si nèɖe tso Egipte la ŋgɔ.
And what one people in the earth is like thy people, like Israel? whose God went and redeemed them to himselfe, that they might be his people, and that hee might make him a name, and do for you great things, and terrible for thy land, O Lord, euen for thy people, whome thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, from the nations, and their gods?
24 Èɖo wò dukɔ, Israel te be woanye tɔwòwo koŋ tegbee eye wò Yehowa nèva zu woƒe Mawu.
For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God.
25 “Azɔ la, Yehowa Mawu, lé ŋugbe si nèdo na wò dɔla kple eƒe aƒe la ɖe asi tegbee. Wɔ abe ale si nèdo ŋugbee ene,
Nowe therefore, O Lord God, confirme for euer the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and his house, and doe as thou hast sayde.
26 ale be wò ŋkɔ nanye gã tegbee. Ekema amewo agblɔ be, ‘Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ enye Mawu ɖe Israel dzi!’ Ale woaɖo wò dɔla, David ƒe aƒe anyi ɖe ŋkuwòme tegbee.
And let thy Name bee magnified for euer by them that shall say, The Lord of hostes is the God ouer Israel: and let the house of thy seruant Dauid be stablished before thee.
27 “Oo Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu, èɖe esia fia wò dɔla be, ‘Matu xɔ na wò.’ Eya ta dzi ɖo wò dɔla ƒo wòle gbe sia dom ɖa na wò.
For thou, O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, hast reueiled vnto thy seruant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy seruant bene bold to pray this prayer vnto thee.
28 Oo, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Mawue nènye! Wò nyawo le eteƒe eye nètsɔ nu nyui siawo do ŋugbee na wò dɔla.
Therefore now, O Lord God, (for thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast tolde this goodnes vnto thy seruant)
29 Azɔ la, nedze ŋuwò be nàyra wò dɔla ƒe aƒe be wòanɔ anyi ɖaa le ŋkuwòme, elabena wò, Oo Aƒetɔ Yehowae ƒo nu eye wò dɔla ƒe aƒe axɔ yayra to wò yayra me tegbee.”
Therefore nowe let it please thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may continue for euer before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and let the house of thy seruant be blessed for euer, with thy blessing.
