< 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.
It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "Look, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of YHWH 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.
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
It happened the same night, that 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 David my servant, 'Thus says YHWH, "You shall not build me a 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 lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone about from tent to tent, and from tabernacle to tabernacle.
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 places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, 'Why have you not 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 therefore, you shall tell my servant David, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince 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 have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in 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,
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,
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 from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that YHWH will build you 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 will come about when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who shall be of 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 will build me a house, 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 shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that 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.
but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever."'"
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 all this vision, so Nathan spoke 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?
Then king David went in and sat before YHWH and said, "Who am I, YHWH God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus 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.
This was a small thing in your eyes, God, but you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and you have let me look upon the generation of humankind to come, YHWH 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 say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, YHWH.
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.
For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make known to your servant 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.
YHWH, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to 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 your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem to be a people for himself, to make a name for yourself by great and awesome deeds, by driving out from before your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt, a nation and its gods?
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 made your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, YHWH, became 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, YHWH, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do 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.
Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, 'YHWH of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of David your servant is 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 have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found 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:
Now, YHWH, you are God, and have promised this good thing 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.
Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, YHWH, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."
