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.”
After David began to live in his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It does not seem right that] I am here living in a palace made of cedar [wood], but Yahweh’s Sacred Chest is kept inside 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.”
Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you are thinking about doing, do it, because God is with/guiding you.”
3 A daren nan maganar Allah ta zo wa Natan cewa,
But that night God spoke [MTY] to Nathan. He said,
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 tell my servant David that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one who should build a temple 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 any building, from the day that I brought the people of Israel up [out of Egypt] until now. Instead, I have [lived in a tent], moving from one place to another with [the Israelis] when they moved to other places [DOU].
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?”’
Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never [RHQ] said to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead [MET] them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
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.
Therefore, this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘I, the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and I appointed you] to be the ruler of my Israeli people.
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/helped) you wherever you have gone, and I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. And now I will cause you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the 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
Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed them. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give not allow them to [be attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
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,
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.
When your life ends [EUP], and you [die and] go to be with your ancestors [who have died], I will appoint one of your sons to become king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
12 Shi ne zai gina gida domina, zan kuma kafa sarautarsa har abada.
He is the one who will [arrange for] a temple to be built for me. And I will enable his descendants to be kings [MTY] of Israel 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 [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me. I stopped loving [Saul, ] the one who was the king before you became king, but I will never stop loving your son.
14 Zan sa shi a bisa gidana da mulkina har abada; kujerar sarautarsa za tă kahu har abada.’”
I will cause him to rule over my people [MTY], and his kingdom will endure forever [DOU].’”
15 Natan ya faɗa wa Dawuda dukan kalmomin wahayin nan.
So Nathan reported to David everything that Yahweh had revealed to him.
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 David went [into the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh my God, I am certainly not [RHQ] worthy for you to have done all these things for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
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.
“And O God, now, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations. Yahweh my God, you have acted toward me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
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]? Although you know very well what I am like,
19 Ya Ubangiji. Gama saboda bawanka da kuma bisa ga nufinka, ka yi wannan babban abu, ka kuma sanar da dukan manyan alkawura.
Yahweh, for my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done these great things [for me], and you have revealed to me these things [that you are promising to do].
20 “Babu wani kamar ka, ya Ubangiji, babu kuma Allah sai kai, kamar yadda muka ji da kunnuwanmu.
“Yahweh, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, which is what we have always heard.
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?
And there is no nation in the world like Israel [RHQ]. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you rescued. You performed great and awesome miracles, rescuing our ancestors from [being slaves in] Egypt, and expelling the people of other people-groups [who were in Canaan].
22 Ka mai da mutanenka Isra’ila na kanka har abada, kuma kai, ya Ubangiji, ka zama Allahnsu.
You have caused us your Israeli people to belong to you forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our 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,
“And now Yahweh, I pray that you will cause the things that you have promised to do for me and my descendants [MTY] to be fulfilled forever.
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.
When that happens, you [MTY] will be famous forever. And people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, is the God who rules Israel!’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants [MTY] of mine who will rule.
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 revealed to me that you will cause [some of] my descendants to become kings. So I am brave enough to pray like this to you.
26 Ya Ubangiji, kai ne Allah! Ka yi alkawari abubuwa masu kyau wa bawanka.
Yahweh, you are God! You have promised to do these good things for me.
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.”
And now you, Yahweh, have [promised to] bless my descendants [MTY], in order that they will continue to rule forever. That will happen because you, Yahweh, are the one who has blessed them, and you will keep blessing them forever.”
