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 dwelt in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
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 unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, while the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
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, all that is in thy heart go and do; for the Lord is with thee.
4 A daren nan maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Natan cewa,
And it came to pass during that night, That the word of the Lord came unto 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 unto my servant, unto David, Thus hath said the Lord, Wilt thou indeed build me a house for my dwelling?
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 dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even until this day; but have been moving about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
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 moved about among all the children of Israel, did I speak a word to any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I ordained to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built for 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.
Now therefore, thus shalt thou say unto my servant, to David, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheep-cote, from behind the flocks, to be a ruler 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 have been with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and I have cut off all thy enemies from thy presence, and I have made thee a great name, like the name of the great who are 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 have procured a place for my people, for Israel, and I have planted them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be no more troubled; and that the children of wickedness shall not afflict them any more as aforetimes,
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.
And [as it was] since the day that I ordained judges to be over my people Israel; and I have caused thee to rest from all thy enemies; and the Lord telleth thee that he, the Lord, will make thee a house.
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.
When thy days will be completed, and thou wilt sleep with thy fathers: then will I set up thy seed after thee, who shall proceed out of thy body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Shi zai gina gida domin Sunana, zan kuwa kafa gadon sarautarsa har abada.
He it is that shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom 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 too will be to him as a father, and he shall indeed be to me as a son: so that when he committeth iniquity, I will chastise him with the rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of man;
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 kindness shall not depart from him, as I caused it to depart from Saul, whom I removed from before thee.
16 Gidanka da kuma masarautarka za su dawwama har abada a gabana; gadon sarautarka kuma zai kahu har abada.’”
And thy house and thy kingdom shall be steadfast for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17 Natan ya gaya wa Dawuda dukan abin da Allah ya bayyana masa.
In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto 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?
Then went king David in, and sat down before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord Eternal? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me as far as hitherward?
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 yet too small a thing in thine eyes, O Lord Eternal; and thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a distant time. And is this the desert of man, O Lord Eternal?
20 “Me kuma Dawuda zai ce maka? Gama ka san bawanka, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
And what can David add yet more to speak unto thee? since thou, O Lord Eternal, knowest well thy servant?
21 Gama saboda maganarka da kuma bisa ga nufinka, ka aikata wannan babban abu, ka kuma sanar da bawanka.
For the sake of thy word, and in accordance with thy own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, so as to let thy servant know 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.
Therefore art thou great, O Eternal God; for there is none like thee, and there is no God beside thee, in accordance with all that 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 who is like thy people, like Israel, the only nation on the earth, which God went to redeem for himself as a people, and to acquire for himself a name, and to do for you this great deed, and fearful things for thy land [to drive out], from before thy people which thou hast redeemed for thyself from Egypt, nations and their gods.
24 Ka kafa mutanenka Isra’ila kamar naka na kanka har abada, kai kuma, ya Ubangiji, ka zama Allahnsu.
For thou hast established for thyself thy people Israel as a people unto thee for ever; and thou, O Lord, art indeed 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 Eternal God, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, stand firm for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.
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 thy name be magnified unto everlasting, that men may say, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and may the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
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 thou, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, saying, A house will be built up for thee; therefore hath thy servant found the heart to pray unto thee this prayer.
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 Eternal, thou art the [true] God, and thy words must become the truth, and thou hast spoken unto thy servant this goodness:
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 let it please thee and bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord Eternal, hast spoken it; and from thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
