2 Sama’ila 7
1 Bayan sarki ya kama zama a fadansa Ubangiji kuma ya hutashe shi daga dukan abokan gābansa da suke kewaye da shi,
Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;
2 sai ya ce wa annabi Natan, “Ga ni, ina zama a fadar katakon al’ul, amma akwatin alkawarin Allah yana zaune a tenti.”
The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.
3 Natan ya amsa wa sarki ya ce, “Duk abin da yake a zuciyarka, sai ka yi, gama Ubangiji yana tare da kai.”
And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.
4 A daren nan maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Natan cewa,
Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
5 “Je ka faɗa wa bawana Dawuda, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, kai ne za ka gina mini gida in zauna?
Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?
6 Ban taɓa zama a gida ba tun daga ranar da na fito da Isra’ilawa daga Masar har yă zuwa yau. Ina dai kai da kawowa a tenti, a matsayin mazaunina.
For from the day when I took the children of Israel up out of Egypt till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from place to place in a tent.
7 A cikin kaiwa da kawowar da nake yi cikin dukan Isra’ilawa, na taɓa ce wa wani shugabanninsu wanda na umarta su lura da mutanena Isra’ila, “Don me ba ku gina mini mazauni da katakon al’ul ba?”’
In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?
8 “Yanzu, ka gaya wa bawana Dawuda ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, na ɗauko ka daga makiyaya, daga kuma garken tumaki ka zama sarki bisan mutane Isra’ila.
Then say these words to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping the sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people, over my people Israel:
9 Na kasance tare da kai duk inda ka tafi, na kuma kawar da dukan abokan gābanka a gabanka. Yanzu zan sa sunanka yă shahara kamar sunayen shahararrun mutanen duniya.
And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.
10 Zan kuma tanada wa mutanena Isra’ila wuri, in kuma dasa su yadda za su kasance da gida kansu ba tare da an ƙara damunsu ba. Mugayen mutane ba za su ƙara wahalshe su kamar dā ba,
And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be living in the place which is theirs, and never again be moved; and never again will they be troubled by evil men as they were at the first,
11 yadda suka yi tun lokacin da na naɗa shugabanni bisan mutanena Isra’ila, zan kuma hutashe ka daga hannun abokan gābanka. “‘Ubangiji ya furta maka cewa Ubangiji kansa zai kafa maka gida.
From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will give you peace from all who are against you. And the Lord says to you that he will make you the head of a line of kings.
12 Sa’ad da kwanakinka suka ƙare, za ka huta tare da kakanninka, zan tā da zuriyarka, na cikinka, zan kuma sa mulkinsa ya kahu.
And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.
13 Shi zai gina gida domin Sunana, zan kuwa kafa gadon sarautarsa har abada.
He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.
14 Zan zama Ubansa, shi kuma yă zama ɗana. Idan ya yi laifi, zan yi amfani da mutane in hukunta shi. Mutane ne za su zama bulalata.
I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;
15 Amma ba za a taɓa ɗauke ƙaunata daga gare shi yadda na ɗauke ta daga wurin Shawulu ba, shi wannan wanda na kawar daga gabanka.
But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.
16 Gidanka da kuma masarautarka za su dawwama har abada a gabana; gadon sarautarka kuma zai kahu har abada.’”
And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.
17 Natan ya gaya wa Dawuda dukan abin da Allah ya bayyana masa.
So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.
18 Sa’an nan Sarki Dawuda ya je ya zauna a gaban Ubangiji ya ce, “Wane ne ni, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ko gidana, har da ka ɗaga mu zuwa wannan matsayi?
Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?
19 Har ya zama kamar wannan bai isa ba a gabanka, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ka kuma yi magana game da nan gaba na gidan bawanka. Haka ka saba yi da mutane, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka?
And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!
20 “Me kuma Dawuda zai ce maka? Gama ka san bawanka, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant, O Lord God.
21 Gama saboda maganarka da kuma bisa ga nufinka, ka aikata wannan babban abu, ka kuma sanar da bawanka.
Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.
22 “Kai mai girma ne, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka! Babu wani kamar ka, babu kuma wani Allah sai kai; kamar yadda muka ji da kunnuwanmu.
Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.
23 Wane ne kuma yake kamar da mutanenka Isra’ila, al’umma guda a duniya wadda Allah ya fita don yă kuɓutar wa kansa, ya kuma yi suna wa kansa, ya kuma aikata manyan abubuwa da kuma al’amuran banmamaki ta wurin korin al’ummai da allolinsu daga gaban mutanenka, waɗanda ka kuɓutar daga Masar?
And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?
24 Ka kafa mutanenka Isra’ila kamar naka na kanka har abada, kai kuma, ya Ubangiji, ka zama Allahnsu.
But you took and made strong for yourself your people Israel, to be your people for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.
25 “Yanzu kuwa, ya Ubangiji Allah, ka cika alkawarin da ka yi game da bawanka da gidansa. Ka yi kamar yadda ka alkawarta,
And now, O Lord God, may the word which you have said about your servant and about his family, be made certain for ever, and may you do as you have said!
26 domin sunanka yă kasance da girma har abada. Sa’an nan mutane za su ce, ‘Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah ne a bisa Isra’ila!’ Kuma gidan bawanka Dawuda zai kahu a gabanka.
And let your name be made great for ever, and let men say, The Lord of armies is God over Israel: and let the family of David your servant be made strong before you!
27 “Ya Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, ka bayyana wa bawanka cewa, ‘Zan gina maka gida.’ Saboda haka bawanka ya sami ƙarfin hali yă miƙa maka wannan addu’a.
For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.
28 Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, kai Allah ne! Maganarka da aminci take, ka kuma yi wa bawanka waɗannan abubuwa masu kyau.
And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;
29 In ya gamshe ka, bari ka albarkaci gidan bawanka don yă dawwama a gabanka har abada; gama kai, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, ka riga ka yi magana, kuma saboda kai ka sa albarka ga gidan bawanka, lalle zai kasance da albarka har abada.”
So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it, ) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!
