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.
And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his house, that David said unto Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under curtains.
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 unto David, All that is in thy heart do; for God is with thee.
3 A ia po iho no, hiki mai la ka olelo a ke Akua ia Natana, i mai
And it came to pass during that night, that the word of God came unto 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 say unto David my servant, Thus hath said the Lord, Not thou shalt build for me the house to dwell in;
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 since the day that I brought up Israel even until this day; but have been [moving] from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].
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 the places where I moved about among all Israel, did I speak a word to any one of the judges of Israel, whom I had ordained to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built for 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 therefore, thus shalt thou say unto my servant, to David, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I took thee away from the sheepcote, from behind the flocks, to be a 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.
And I have been with thee withersoever thou didst go, and I have cut off all thy enemies from thy presence, and I have made thee a name; like the name of the great men who are on 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 procured a place for my people 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 waste them any more, as aforetimes,
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 [as it was] since the time that I ordained judges to be over my people Israel; and I have humbled all thy enemies; and now I tell thee that the Lord will build for thee a house.
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 it shall come to pass, that, when thy days will be completed that thou must go [to sleep] with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy 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 it is that shall build for me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
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 too will be to him as a father, and he shall indeed be unto me as a son: and my kindness will I not cause to depart from him, as I caused it to depart from him that was before thee;
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 place him firmly in my house and in my kingdom for evermore; and his throne shall be established for ever.
15 Ma neia mau huaolelo a pau, a ma keia hihio a pau, ka Natana i olelo aku ai ia Davida.
In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto 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?
Then went king David in and sat down before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me as far as hitherward?
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 this was [yet] too small a thing in thy eyes, O God, and thou hast spoken concerning thy servant's house for a distant time, and hast regarded me as though I belonged to the rank of a man of high degree, 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 can David add yet more [to speak] unto thee of the honor of thy servant? since thou knowest well thy 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 thy servant, and in accordance with thy own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, to make known all these great things.
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 thee, and there is no god beside thee, in accordance with all that we have heard 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?
And who is like thy people Israel, the only nation on the earth which God went to redeem for himself as a people, to acquire for thyself a name for great and terrible deeds, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hadst redeemed out of 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 thou hast instituted thy people Israel unto thyself as a people for ever; and thou, Lord, art indeed 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 thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be verified for ever, and do as thou hast 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.
Yea, let it be verified, and let thy name be magnified unto everlasting, that men may say, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God for Israel; and may the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
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 thou, O my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build for him a house; therefore hath thy servant found himself able to pray before thee.
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, thou art the [true] God, and thou hast spoken concerning thy servant this goodness:
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 now hast thou been pleased to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord, hast blessed, and [it will remain] blessed for ever.
