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.
Now when David was living in his house, he said to the prophet Nathan: “Behold, I live in a house of cedar. But the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent skins.”
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 said 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
And yet, 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 speak to my servant David: Thus says the Lord: You shall not build a house for me as a dwelling place.
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 stayed in a house from the time when I led out Israel, even to this day. Instead, I have been continually changing places, in a tabernacle and tent,
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!
dwelling with all of Israel. When did I ever speak to any one at all, among the judges of Israel whom I placed in charge so that they might pasture my people, saying: ‘Why have you not built a house of cedar for me?’
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;
And so, now you shall say this to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you when you were following the flock in the pastures, so that you would be the leader of 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.
And I have been with you wherever you have gone. And I have slain all your enemies before you, and I have made a name for you like one of the great ones who are celebrated upon the earth.
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 have given a place to my people Israel. They shall be planted, and they shall live in it, and they shall no longer be moved. Neither shall the sons of iniquity wear them away, as in 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.
from the days when I gave judges to my people Israel, and I humbled all your enemies. Therefore, I announce 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 you will have completed your days, so that you go to your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall be from your 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 shall build a house for me, and I will make firm his throne, even unto eternity.
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 a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it away from the one who was before you.
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.
And I will station him in my house and in my kingdom, even forever. And his throne will be very firm, in perpetuity.”
15 Ma neia mau huaolelo a pau, a ma keia hihio a pau, ka Natana i olelo aku ai ia Davida.
According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
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?
And when king David had departed, and had sat down before the Lord, he said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would grant such things to me?
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.
But even this has seemed little in your sight, and therefore you have also spoken about the house of your servant even for the future. And you have made me a spectacle above all men, 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 add, since you have so glorified your servant, and have known him?
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, because of your servant, in accord with your own heart, you have brought about all this magnificence, and you have willed all these great things to be known.
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 no one like you. And there is no other God apart from you, out of all whom we have heard about with our 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?
For what other single nation upon earth is like your people Israel, to whom God reached out, so that he might free them, and might make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terribleness cast out the nations before the face of those whom he had freed 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.
And you have set your people Israel to be your people, even unto eternity. 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.
Now therefore, O Lord, let the word that you have spoken to your servant, and over his house, be confirmed in perpetuity, and do just as you have spoken.
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.
And may your name remain and be magnified even for all time. And let it be said: ‘The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel. And the house of his servant David remains forever before him.’
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, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build a house for him. And therefore your servant has found faith so that he might pray before you.
26 Ano hoi, e Iehova, o oe no ke Akua, a ua hai mai oe i keia lokomaikai i kau kauwa:
Now then, O Lord, you are God. And you have spoken to your servant such great benefits.
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.
And you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it may be always before you. For since it is you who is blessing, O Lord, it shall be blessed forever.”
