1 Tarihi 17

1 Bayan Dawuda ya zauna a fadansa, sai ya ce wa annabi Natan, “Ga ni, ina zama a fadar da aka yi da al’ul, yayinda akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji yana a ƙarƙashin tenti.”

Once David had settled into his palace, he spoke to the prophet Nahum. “Look,” he said, “I'm living in a cedar palace while the Ark of the Lord's Agreement is kept in a tent!”

2 Natan ya amsa wa Dawuda ya ce, “Duk abin da kake tunani a zuciya, ka yi, gama Allah yana tare da kai.”

“Do what you think you should, for the God is with you,” Nathan replied.

3 A daren nan maganar Allah ta zo wa Natan cewa,

But that night God told Nathan,

4 “Ka tafi ka faɗa wa bawana Dawuda, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce ba kai ba ne za ka gida mini gidan da zan zauna a ciki.

“Go and talk to my servant David. Tell him, this is what the Lord says, You are not to build a house for me to live in.

5 Ban taɓa zama a gida daga ranar da na fito da Isra’ila daga Masar ba har wa yau. Na yi ta yawo daga gefen da aka kafa tenti zuwa wani, daga wannan wuri zuwa wancan.

I have not lived in a house from the time I led Israel out of Egypt until now. I have lived in tents, moving from place to place.

6 Duk inda na tafi tare da Isra’ilawa, na taɓa ce wa wani daga cikin shugabanninsu waɗanda na umarta su yi kiwon mutanena, “Don me ba ku gida mini gidan al’ul ba?”’

But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’

7 “Yanzu, ka faɗa wa bawana Dawuda, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, na ɗauke ka daga makiyaya da kuma daga bin garke, don ka zama mai mulki a bisa mutanena Isra’ila.

So then, go and tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of my people Israel.

8 Na kasance tare da kai ko’ina ka tafi, na kuma yanke dukan abokan gābanka a gabanka. Yanzu zan sa sunanka kamar sunayen mutane mafi girma na duniya.

I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have struck down all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.

9 Zan kuma tanada wuri domin mutanena Isra’ila, zan kuma kafa su saboda za su kasance da gidan kansu ba kuwa za a ƙara damunsu ba. Mugayen mutane ba za su ƙara zaluntar su ba, yadda suka yi da farko

I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,

10 da kuma suka yi tun lokacin da na sa shugabanni a bisa mutanen Isra’ila. Zan rinjaye dukan abokan gābanka. “‘Na furta maka cewa Ubangiji zai gina maka gida,

from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.

11 sa’ad da kwanakinka suka ƙare ka kuma tafi don ka kasance da kakanninka, zan tā da ɗaya cikin’ya’yanka maza, daga zuriyarka yă gāje ka, zan kuma kafa mulkinka.

For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.

12 Shi ne zai gina gida domina, zan kuma kafa sarautarsa har abada.

He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.

13 Zan zama Ubansa, zai kuma zama ɗana. Ba zan taɓa ɗauke ƙaunata daga gare shi, kamar yadda na ɗauke ta daga wanda ya riga ka ba.

I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of the one who ruled before you.

14 Zan sa shi a bisa gidana da mulkina har abada; kujerar sarautarsa za tă kahu har abada.’”

I will put him in charge of my house and my kingdom forever, and his dynasty will last forever.”

15 Natan ya faɗa wa Dawuda dukan kalmomin wahayin nan.

This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.

16 Sai Sarki Dawuda ya shiga ya zauna a gaban Ubangiji ya ce, “Wane ne ni, ya Ubangiji Allah, kuma wane ne iyalina, da ka kawo ni har zuwa nan?

Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?

17 Kuma sai ka ce wannan bai isa ba a idonka, ya Allah, ka yi magana game da nan gaba na gidan bawanka. Ka dube ni sai ka ce ni ne mafi ɗaukaka cikin mutane, ya Ubangiji Allah.

God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. You also see me as someone very important, Lord God.

18 “Me kuma Dawuda zai ce maka saboda girmamawar da ka yi wa bawanka? Gama ka san bawanka,

What more can I, David, say to you for honoring me in this way? You know your servant all too well!

19 Ya Ubangiji. Gama saboda bawanka da kuma bisa ga nufinka, ka yi wannan babban abu, ka kuma sanar da dukan manyan alkawura.

Lord, you're doing all this for me, your servant, and because it's what you want—doing all these amazing things and letting people know about them.

20 “Babu wani kamar ka, ya Ubangiji, babu kuma Allah sai kai, kamar yadda muka ji da kunnuwanmu.

Lord, there really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.

21 Wane ne kuma yake kamar mutanenka Isra’ila, al’umma guda a duniya wadda Allahnta ya fita don yă fanshi mutane wa kansa, ya kuma yi suna wa kansa, ya kuma aikata manyan abubuwa masu banmamaki masu banrazana ta wurin korin al’ummai daga gaban mutanenka, waɗanda ka fansa daga Masar?

Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.

22 Ka mai da mutanenka Isra’ila na kanka har abada, kuma kai, ya Ubangiji, ka zama Allahnsu.

You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.

23 “Yanzu kuwa, Ubangiji, bari alkawarin da ka yi game da bawanka da gidansa yă kahu har abada. Yi kamar yadda ka yi alkawari,

So now, Lord, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and lasts forever. Please do as you have promised,

24 saboda zai kahu kuma sunanka zai zama mai girma har abada. Sa’an nan mutane za su ce, ‘Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah a bisa Isra’ila, Allahn Isra’ila ne!’ Kuma gidan bawanka Dawuda zai kahu a gabanka.

and may your true nature be recognized and honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.

25 “Kai, Allahna, ka bayyana ga bawanka cewa za ka gina gida dominsa. Ta haka bawanka ya sami ƙarfin gwiwa ya yi addu’a gare ka.

You, my God, have explained to me, your servant, that you will build me a house. That's why your servant has had the courage to pray to you.

26 Ya Ubangiji, kai ne Allah! Ka yi alkawari abubuwa masu kyau wa bawanka.

For you, Lord, are God! You are the one who has promised all these good things to your servant.

27 Yanzu ka ji daɗi don ka albarkace gidan bawanka, don yă ci gaba har abada a gabanka; gama kai, ya Ubangiji, ka albarkace shi, ya kuma sami albarka ke nan har abada.”

So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For when you bless, Lord, it is blessed forever.”
