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,
And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side [free] from all his enemies round about him;
2 sai ya ce wa annabi Natan, “Ga ni, ina zama a fadar katakon al’ul, amma akwatin alkawarin Allah yana zaune a tenti.”
that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst 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 all that [is] in your heart, for the Lord [is] with you.
4 A daren nan maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Natan cewa,
And it came to pass in that night, that 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, Thus says the Lord, You shall not build me a house for me to dwell in.
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 I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and 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?”’
wherever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built 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.
And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheep-cote, that you should be a prince over my people, over 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 was with you wherever you went, and I destroyed all your enemies before you, and I made you renowned according to the renown of the great ones on 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 appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more afflict them, as he [has done] from the beginning,
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 days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give you rest from all your enemies, and the Lord will tell you that you shall build a house to him.
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 it shall come to pass when your days shall have been fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even your own issue, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Shi zai gina gida domin Sunana, zan kuwa kafa gadon sarautarsa har abada.
He shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even 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 shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons 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 I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.
16 Gidanka da kuma masarautarka za su dawwama har abada a gabana; gadon sarautarka kuma zai kahu har abada.’”
And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.
17 Natan ya gaya wa Dawuda dukan abin da Allah ya bayyana masa.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
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?
And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that you have loved me hitherto?
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?
Whereas I was very little before you, O Lord, my Lord, yet you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a long time to [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?
20 “Me kuma Dawuda zai ce maka? Gama ka san bawanka, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
And what shall David yet say to you? and now you know your servant, O Lord, my Lord.
21 Gama saboda maganarka da kuma bisa ga nufinka, ka aikata wannan babban abu, ka kuma sanar da bawanka.
And you have wrought for your servant's sake, and according to your heart you have wrought all this greatness, to make it known to your servant,
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.
that he may magnify you, O my Lord; for there is no one like you, and there is no God, but you among all of whom we have heard with 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 [is] as your people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make you a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that you should cast out nations an [their] tabernacles from the presence of your people, whom you did redeem for yourself out of Egypt?
24 Ka kafa mutanenka Isra’ila kamar naka na kanka har abada, kai kuma, ya Ubangiji, ka zama Allahnsu.
And you has prepared for yourself your people Israel to be a people for ever, and you, Lord, are become 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 my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which you have spoken concerning your servant and his house: and now 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.
Let your name be magnified for ever.
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.
Almighty Lord God of Israel, you have uncovered the ear of your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore your servant has found [in] his heart to pray 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 my Lord, you are God; and your words will be true, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant.
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.”
And now begin and bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you; for you, O Lord, my Lord, have spoken, and the house of your servant shall be blessed with your blessing so as to continue for ever.
