2 Samũeli 7
1 Na rĩrĩ, thuutha wa mũthamaki gũikara nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki, nake Jehova akamũhe ũhurũko agatiga gũũkĩrĩrwo nĩ thũ ciake ciothe iria ciamũrigiicĩirie-rĩ,
And it comes to pass, when the king sat in his house, and YHWH has given rest to him all around, from all his enemies,
2 akĩĩra mũnabii Nathani atĩrĩ, “Niĩ njikaraga nyũmba ya ũthamaki yaakĩtwo na mĩtarakwa, o rĩrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai rĩigĩtwo hema-inĩ.”
that the king says to Nathan the prophet, “Now see, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.”
3 Nathani agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũrĩa ũreciiria, gwĩka ĩka guo tondũ Jehova arĩ hamwe nawe.”
And Nathan says to the king, “All that [is] in your heart—go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.”
4 Ũtukũ ũcio kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Nathani, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying,
5 “Thiĩ ũkeere ndungata yakwa Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Anga we nĩwe ũkũnjakĩra nyũmba nĩguo ndĩmĩtũũre?
“Go, and you have said to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH: Do you build for Me a house for My dwelling in?
6 Niĩ ndirĩ ndatũũra nyũmba kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarutire andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri nginya ũmũthĩ. Ndũũraga thiiaga kũndũ na kũndũ ndĩ hema-inĩ arĩ yo gĩtũũro gĩakwa.
For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a dwelling place.
7 Kũrĩa guothe ndanathiĩ na andũ a Isiraeli othe-rĩ, ndĩ ndooria mũtongoria o na ũmwe wao, arĩa ndaathire marĩithagie andũ akwa a Isiraeli, atĩrĩ, “Mwagĩte kũnjakĩra nyũmba ya mĩtarakwa nĩkĩ?”’
During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
8 “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.
And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the pasture, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;
9 Nĩ ngoretwo nawe o kũrĩa guothe wanathiĩ, na ngakwehereria thũ ciaku ciothe ikeehera mbere yaku. Rĩu nĩngũtũma rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩtuĩke inene, o ta marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa anene mũno a thĩ.
and I am with you wherever you have gone, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth,
10 Na nĩngaahe andũ akwa a Isiraeli handũ, na ndĩmahaande wega nĩgeetha magĩe na mũciĩ wao kĩũmbe, na matigacooka gũthĩĩnĩka. Andũ aaganu matigacooka kũmahinyĩrĩria rĩngĩ, o ta ũrĩa maatũire meekaga kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ,
and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and it is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it anymore, as in the beginning,
11 o na ũrĩa matũire meekaga kuuma rĩrĩa ndathuurire atongoria a gũtongoragia andũ akwa a Isiraeli. Ningĩ nĩngakũhe ũhurũko kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciaku ciothe. “‘Jehova egũkwĩra atĩ Jehova we mwene nĩwe ũkaarũgamia nyũmba yaku:
even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to you from all your enemies, and YHWH has declared to you that YHWH makes a house for you.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ maku magaathira, ũhurũke hamwe na maithe maku, nĩngarahũra mbeũ yaku ĩcooke ithenya rĩaku, ĩrĩa ĩkoima mũthiimo waku wee mwene, na nĩngarũgamia ũthamaki wake.
When your days are full, and you have lain with your fathers, then I have raised up your seed after you which goes out from your bowels, and have established his kingdom;
13 Ũcio nĩwe ũgaaka nyũmba ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa Rĩakwa, na nĩngarũgamia gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene wake nginya tene.
he builds a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom for all time.
14 Nĩngatuĩka ithe, nake atuĩke mũrũ wakwa. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ageeka ũũru, ngaamũherithia na rũthanju rwa andũ, na ahũũrwo mahũũra nĩ andũ.
I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealing perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
15 No rĩrĩ, wendo wakwa ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũkeeherio kũrĩ we, ta ũrĩa ndaaweheririe harĩ Saũlũ, ũrĩa ndeheririe mbere yaku.
and My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you,
16 Nyũmba yaku na ũthamaki waku igũtũũra mbere yakwa nginya tene; o nakĩo gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene gĩgũtũũra kĩrĩ kĩrũmu wega nginya tene.’”
and your house and your kingdom [are] steadfast before you for all time, your throne is established for all time.”
17 Nake Nathani akĩĩra Daudi ciugo ciothe cia ũguũrio ũcio.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
18 Nake Mũthamaki Daudi agĩtoonya, agĩikara thĩ mbere ya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ndĩkĩrĩ ũ, Wee Mwathani Jehova, nayo nyũmba yakwa-rĩ, ĩkĩrĩ kĩ, atĩ nĩkĩo ũnginyĩtie nginya haha?
And King David comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, Lord YHWH? And what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
19 Na rĩrĩ, Wee Mwathani Jehova, wonete ũndũ ũcio ta ũrĩ mũnini maitho-inĩ maku, nawe ũgacooka kwaria ũhoro wa matukũ marĩa magooka makoniĩ nyũmba ya ndungata yaku. Ningĩ Wee Mwathani Jehova ĩno nĩyo njĩra yaku ĩrĩa waragĩria andũ nayo?
And yet this [is] little in Your eyes, Lord YHWH, and You also speak concerning the house of Your servant far off; and this [is] the law of the man, Lord YHWH.
20 “Nĩ atĩa ũngĩ Daudi angĩkwĩra? Nĩgũkorwo Wee Mwathani Jehova, nĩũĩ ndungata yaku.
And what does David add more to speak to You? And You, You have known Your servant, Lord YHWH.
21 Nĩ ũndũ wa kiugo gĩaku, na kũringana na wendo waku, nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ mũnene ũguo, na ũkaũmenyithia ndungata yaku.
Because of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to cause Your servant to know [it].
22 “Wee Mwathani Jehova, kaĩ ũkĩrĩ mũnene-ĩ! Gũtirĩ ũngĩ tawe, na gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga wee, o ta ũrĩa tũiguĩte na matũ maitũ.
Therefore You have been great, YHWH God, for there is none like You, and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 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 ma magegania na ma gwĩtigĩrwo, na ũndũ wa kũingata ndũrĩrĩ na ngai ciao ciehere mbere ya andũ aku, arĩa wakũũrire kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri?
And who [is] as Your people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God has gone to redeem for a people for Himself, and to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself the greatness—even fearful things for Your land, at the presence of Your people, whom You have redeemed for Yourself out of Egypt—[among the] nations and their gods?
24 Wee nĩũrũgamĩtie andũ aku a Isiraeli matuĩke andũ aku nginya tene, nawe, Wee Jehova nĩũtuĩkĩte Ngai wao.
Indeed, You establish Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people for Yourself for all time, and You, YHWH, have been to them for God.
25 “Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai, tũma kĩĩranĩro kĩrĩa wĩranĩire gĩkoniĩ ndungata yaku na nyũmba yake kĩrũme nginya tene. Na wĩke o ta ũguo wĩranĩire,
And now, YHWH God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, establish for all time, and do as You have spoken.
26 nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩnenehe nginya tene. Ningĩ andũ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe Ngai wa Isiraeli!’ Nayo nyũmba ya ndungata yaku Daudi nĩĩkehaanda mbere yaku.
And Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You,
27 “Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩũguũrĩirie ndungata yaku ũndũ ũyũ, ũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngagwakĩra nyũmba.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata yaku nĩĩgĩĩte na ũmĩrĩru wa kũhooya ihooya rĩrĩ.
for You, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered the ear of Your servant, saying, I build a house for you, therefore Your servant has found his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 Wee Mwathani Jehova, Wee nĩwe Ngai! Ciugo ciaku nĩciakwĩhokwo, na nĩwĩrĩire ndungata yaku maũndũ macio mega.
And now, Lord YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and Your words are truth, and You speak this goodness to Your servant,
29 Rĩu nĩwonete kwagĩrĩire ũrathime nyũmba ya ndungata yaku, nĩgeetha ĩtũũre mbere yaku nginya tene maitho-inĩ maku; nĩgũkorwo Wee Mwathani Jehova nĩwe warĩtie, na nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrathimo gĩaku, nyũmba ya ndungata yaku ĩtũũre ĩraathimĩtwo nginya tene.”
and now, begin and bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time, for You, Lord YHWH, have spoken, and by Your blessing the house of Your servant is blessed for all time.”
