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 that after the king had settled in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is staying 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.
Then Nathan said to David, “Go, do what 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 same 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 David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: You will not build me a house in which to live.
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 from the day that I brought up Israel to this present day. Instead, I have been living in a tent, a tabernacle, in various places.
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 I have moved among all Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd 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 then, tell my servant David, 'This is what Yahweh of hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, so that you would be 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 went and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones 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,
I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them there, so that they may live in their own place and be troubled no more. No longer will wicked people oppress them, as they did before,
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.
as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Then I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that I, Yahweh, 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.
It will come about that when your days are fulfilled for you to go to your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, and for one of your own descendants, 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 a father to him, and he will be my son. I will not take my covenant faithfulness away from him, as I took it from Saul, who ruled 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.
I will set him over my house and in 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.
Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the 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 David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family, that you have brought me to this point?
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.
For this was a small thing in your sight, God. You have spoken of your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Yahweh 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 I, David, say to you? You have honored your servant. You have given your servant special recognition.
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.
Yahweh, for your servant's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing to reveal all your great deeds.
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.
Yahweh, there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, just as we have always heard.
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 nation on earth is like your people Israel, whom you, God, rescued from Egypt as a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself by great and awesome deeds? You drove out nations from before your people, whom you rescued 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.
You made Israel your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, 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.
So now, Yahweh, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. 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.
May your name be established forever and be great, so the people will say, 'Yahweh of hosts is the God of Israel,' while the house of me, 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, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. That is why I, your servant, have found courage to pray to you.
26 Ano hoi, e Iehova, o oe no ke Akua, a ua hai mai oe i keia lokomaikai i kau kauwa:
Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have made this good promise 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 your servant's house, that it may continue forever before you. You, Yahweh, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
