< I Oihanaalii 17 >
1 A IA i ko Davida noho ana iloko o kona hale, olelo mai la o Davida ia Natana ke kaula, Eia au ke noho nei iloko o ka hale kedera, aka, o ka pahuberita o Iehova, aia no ia malalo o na paku.
After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”
2 Alaila, i aku la o Natana ia Davida, E hana oe i ka mea a pau maloko o kou naau; no ka mea, me oe pu no ke Akua.
And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 A ia po iho no, hiki mai la ka olelo a ke Akua ia Natana, i mai
But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 E hele aku oe, e hai ia Davida i kuu kauwa, Penei ka Iehova i olelo mai nei, Mai hana oe i hale no'u e noho ai:
“Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.
5 No ka mea, aole au i noho iloko o ka hale maoli, mai ka manawa mai a'u i kai mai nei i ka Iseraela a hiki i keia manawa: aka, ua hele au mai kekahi halelole, a hiki i kekahi halelole, a mai kekahi halelewa a kekahi halelewa.
For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.
6 I na wahi a'u i hele pu ai me ka Iseraela a pau, i olelo anei au i kekahi lunakanawai o ka Iseraela, a'u i kauoha aku ai e hanai i ko'u poe kanaka, i ka i ana aku, No ke aha la oukou i hana ole ai i hale kedera no'u!
In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
7 Nolaila la, e olelo aku oe i kuu kauwa ia Davida, Eia ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai nei, I lawe mai no wau ia oe mai ka pahipa mai, mamuli mai hoi o ka poe hipa, i alii oe maluna o ko'u poe kanaka o ka Iseraela;
Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.
8 Owau no kekahi pu me oe i na wahi a pau au i hele ai, a ua hooki iho no wau i na enemi ou a pau mai kou maka aku, a ua hookaulana au i kou inoa, e like me ka inoa o na kanaka nui ma ka honua nei.
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.
9 Na'u hoi e hoike aku i wahi no ko'u poe kanaka no ka Iseraela, a e kanu iho no au ia lakou, a e noho iho lakou ma ko lakou wahi, aole e nee hou aku lakou; aole hoi e hoopoino hou mai ka poe keiki na ka hewa ia lakou, e like mamua,
And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning
10 A mai ka manawa mai a'u i hoonoho ai i na lunakanawai maluna o ko'u poe kanaka o ka Iseraela. Eia hoi, na'u no e hoopau auanei i kou poe enemi a pau. A eia hoi kekahi, ke, hai aku nei au ia oe, na Iehova no e hana i hale nou.
and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.
11 A i ka manawa i hala ae kou mau la, a hele oe me ou mau makua, na'u no e hooku ae i kau hua mahope ou, no na keiki au; a e hookupaa auanei au i kona aupuni.
And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
12 Nana no e hana i hale no'u, a e hookupaa mau loa auanei au i kona nohoalii.
He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.
13 Owau auanei kona makua, a e lilo oia i keiki na'u: aole au e lawe aku i kuu aloha mai ona aku, me a'u i lawe aku ai ia mai kou mua aku.
I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.
14 Aka, e hoonoho au ia ia maloko o kuu hale a iloko o kuu aupuni a mau loa aku; a e hookupaa mau loa ia kona nohoalii.
But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”
15 Ma neia mau huaolelo a pau, a ma keia hihio a pau, ka Natana i olelo aku ai ia Davida.
So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.
16 A hele aku la o Davida ke alii, a noho aku la imua o Iehova, olelo aku la, Owai la wau, e Iehova ke Akua, heaha hoi ka'u ohana i malama mai ai oe ia'u a hiki i neia wa?
Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
17 He mea uuku hoi keia imua o kou maka, e ke Akua: a ua olelo mai hoi oe no ka ohana a kau kauwa a liuliu aku mahope; a ua hoomanao mai oe ia'u ma ka ke kanaka kiekie, e Iehova ke Akua.
And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God, You have spoken about the future of the house of Your servant and have regarded me as a man of great distinction, O LORD God.
18 Heaha ka mea hou aku e hiki ia Davida ke olelo aku ia oe no ka pono o kau kauwa? no ka mea, ua ike oe i kau kauwa.
What more can David say to You for so honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant,
19 E Iehova, no ka pono o kau kauwa, a e like me ko loko o kou naau, ua hana mai oe i keia mea nui a pau, ma ka hoike ana mai i na mea nui a pau.
O LORD. For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed all Your greatness.
20 E Iehova e, aohe ou mea like, aohe Akua e ae, o oe wale no, ma ka mea a pau a makou i lohe ai ma ko makou pepeiao.
O LORD, there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
21 Auhea la kekahi lahuikanaka ma ka honua nei e like me kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, ka poe a ke Akua i kii aku ai e hoola i poe kanaka nona, i mea e kaulana ai kou inoa i nui ia, a i weliweli, ma ka hookuke ana aku i na lahuikanaka mai ke alo aku o kou poe kanaka au i hoola ai mai Aigupita mai?
And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.
22 No ka mea, ua hoolilo oe i kou poe kanaka ka Iseraela i poe kanaka nou, a mau loa aku: a ua lilo mai oe, e Iehova, i Akua no lakou.
For You have made Your people Israel Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
23 Nolaila hoi, e Iehova, e hookupaa mau loa oe i ka olelo au i olelo mai ai no kau kauwa, a me kana ohana, a e hana mai e like me kau i olelo ai.
And now, O LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,
24 Oiaio, e hookupaa oe, i hoonui mau loa ia kou inoa, i ka i ana, O Iehova o na kana, oia ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ke Akua ia i ka Iseraela: a e hookupaaia ka ohana a kau kauwa a Davida imua ou.
so that Your name will be established and magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.
25 No ka mea, ua hoike mai oe, e kuu Akua, i ka pepeiao o kau kauwa, e hana oe i hale nona; nolaila, ua manao iho kau kauwa e pule aku imua ou.
For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found the courage to pray before You.
26 Ano hoi, e Iehova, o oe no ke Akua, a ua hai mai oe i keia lokomaikai i kau kauwa:
And now, O LORD, You are God! And You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
27 Nolaila hoi, ua lealea oe e hoopomaikai mai i ka ohana a kau kauwa, i mau loa ia imua ou: no ka mea, ke hoopomaikai mai nei oe, e Iehova, a e pomaikai mau loa no ia.
So now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
