II Samuela 7
1 A I ka wa i noho ai ke alii iloko o kona hale, a hoomaha mai la o Iehova ia ia mai o a o, mai kona poe enemi a pau;
And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side [free] from all his enemies round about him;
2 I aku la ke alii ia Natana ke kaula, Eia hoi au ke noho nei iloko o ka hale kedera; aka, e noho ana ka pahu o Iehova maloko o na paku.
that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent.
3 I aku la o Natana i ke alii, E hele oe e hana i ka mea a pau iloko o kou naau; no ka mea, me oe pu no o Iehova.
And Nathan said to the king, Go and do all that [is] in your heart, for the Lord [is] with you.
4 A ia po iho no, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io Natana la, i mai la.
And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
5 E hele oe e hai aku i kuu kauwa ia Davida, Eia ka Iehova e olelo aku nei, E hana anei oe i hale no'u e noho ai?
Go, and say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord, You shall not build me a house for me to dwell in.
6 No ka mea, aole no au i noho iloko o ka hale maoli mai ka manawa mai a'u i alakai mai nei i na mamo a Iseraela mai Aigupita mai, a hiki i keia la; aka, ua hele no wau maloko o ka halelole, a me ka halelewa.
For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent,
7 I ko'u hele ana a pau me na mamo a pau a Iseraela, i olelo aku anei au i kekahi ohana a Iseraela, i ka mea a'u i kauoha aku ai e hanai i ko'u poe kanaka i ka Iseraela, i ka i ana aku, Heaha ka mea e hana ole ai oukou i hale kedera no'u?
wherever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built me a house of Cedar?
8 Nolaila hoi, e olelo aku oe i kuu kauwa ia Davida, Eia ka Iehova sabaota e olelo mai nei, I lawe mai no wau ia oe mai ka pahipa mai, mamuli mai hoi o ka poe hipa, i alii oe maluua o kuu poe kanaka o ka Iseraela.
And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheep-cote, that you should be a prince over my people, over Israel.
9 Owau hoi kekahi pu me oe i kou mau wahi i hele aku ai, a ua hooki iho no wau i ou poe enemi a pau mai kou maka aku, a ua hookaulana aku au i kou inoa, e like me ka inoa o ka poe nui ma ka honua.
And I was with you wherever you went, and I destroyed all your enemies before you, and I made you renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.
10 Na'u hoi e hoike aku i wahi no ko'u poe kanaka no ka Iseraela, a e kanu iho no au ia lakou i noho ai lakou ma ko lakou wahi iho, aole e nee hou aku lakou; aole hoi e hoino hou mai ka poe keiki na ka ino ia lakou, e like me ka manawa mamua.
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more afflict them, as he [has done] from the beginning,
11 A mai ka manawa mai a'u i hoonoho ai i na lunakanawai maluna o ko'u poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, a hiki i ka hoomaha ana ia oe mai kou poe enemi ae a pau. Eia hoi ka Iehova e i mai nei ia oe, Na Iehova no e hana i hale nou.
from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give you rest from all your enemies, and the Lord will tell you that you shall build a house to him.
12 Aia pau kou mau la, a moe iho oe me ou poe kupuna, e hooku ae au i kau keiki mahope ou, i ka mea e puka ana mailoko ae o kou opu, a e hookupaa hoi au i kona aupuni.
And it shall come to pass when your days shall have been fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even your own issue, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Nana no e hana i hale no ko'u inoa, a e hookupaa hoi au i ka nohoalii o kona aupuni a mau loa aku.
He shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever.
14 Owau no auanei kona makuakane, a e lilo hoi ia i keiki na'u: a i hana ino kela, na'u no e paipai aku ia ia me ka laau ma ko ke kanaka, a me ka hahau ana ma ko na keiki a na kanaka.
I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.
15 Aka, aole au e lawe i ko'u aloha mai ona aku la, me a'u i lawe aku ai ia mea mai o Saula aku, ka mea a'u i hoolei aku ai mai ko'u alo aku.
But my mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.
16 A e hookupaa mau loa ia aku kau ohana a me kou aupuni imua ou: e hookupaaia hoi kou nohoalii a mau loa aku.
And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.
17 Ma keia mau olelo 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.
18 Alaila komo aku la o Davida ke alii iloko, a noho iho la imua o Iehova, a olelo aku la, Owai la hoi wau, e ka Haku e Iehova? Heaha hoi ko'u ohana i malama mai ai oe ia'u a hiki i neia wa?
And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that you have loved me hitherto?
19 He mea uuku hoi keia imua o kou maka, e Iehova ka Haku; aka, ua olelo mai hoi oe no ka ohana a kau kauwa a liuliu aku mahope. Ua like anei keia me ko ke kanaka, e Iehova ka Haku?
Whereas I was very little before you, O Lord, my Lord, yet you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a long time to [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?
20 Heaha ka mea hou aku e hiki ia Davida ke olelo aku ia oe? no ka mea, ua ike pono mai oe i kau kauwa nei, e Iehova ka Haku.
And what shall David yet say to you? and now you know your servant, O Lord, my Lord.
21 No ka pono o kau olelo, a e like me ko loko o kou naau kau i hana mai ai i keia mau mea nui a pau, i mea e ike ai kau kauwa.
And you have wrought for your servant's sake, and according to your heart you have wrought all this greatness, to make it known to your servant,
22 Nolaila, e Iehova e ke Akua, he nui oe; no ka mea, aohe mea like me oe, aohe hoi Akua e ae, o oe wale no; e like me ka mea a pau a makou i lohe ai ma ko makou pepeiao.
that he may magnify you, O my Lord; for there is no one like you, and there is no God, but you among all of whom we have heard with our ears.
23 Owai la ka lahuikanaka ma ka honua nei e like me kou poe kanaka me ka Iseraela, ka poe a ke Akua i kii aku ai e hoola i poe kanaka nona, i mea e kaulana ai kona inoa, a e hana aku no lakou i na mea nui a weliweli no kou aina, imua o kou poe kanaka, o ka poe au i hoola ae nou mai na lahuikanaka o Aigupita, a me ko lakou mau akua mai.
And what other nation in the earth [is] as your people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make you a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that you should cast out nations an [their] tabernacles from the presence of your people, whom you did redeem for yourself out of Egypt?
24 No ka mea, ua hoolilo oe nou i kou kanaka i ka Iseraela, i poe kanaka nou mahope mau loa aku; a o oe, e Iehova, ua lilo mai oe i Akua no lakou.
And you has prepared for yourself your people Israel to be a people for ever, and you, Lord, are become their God.
25 Ano hoi, e Iehova ke Akua, 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 olelo.
And now, O my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which you have spoken concerning your servant and his house: and now as you have said,
26 A e hoonani mau loa ia kou inoa, i ka i ana, O Iehova sabaota, oia ke Akua maluna o ka Iseraela: a e hookupaaia hoi ka ohana a kau kauwa a Davida imua ou.
Let your name be magnified for ever.
27 No ka mea, ua hoike mai oe, e Iehova sabaota, ke Akua no ka Iseraela, iloko o ka pepeiao o kau kauwa, i ka i ana mai, E hana au i hale nou: nolaila, ua manao iho kau kauwa iloko o kona naau e pule aku i keia pule ia oe.
Almighty Lord God of Israel, you have uncovered the ear of your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore your servant has found [in] his heart to pray this prayer to you.
28 Ano hoi, e Iehova ka Haku, o oe no ua Akua la, a he oiaio hoi kau mau olelo; a ua olelo mua mai oe i keia lokomaikai i kau kauwa nei:
And now, O Lord my Lord, you are God; and your words will be true, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant.
29 Nolaila hoi, e lealea mai oe, a e hoopomaikai mai i ka ohana a kau kauwa, i mau loa ia imua ou: no ka mea, ua olelo no oe, e Iehova ka Haku; a ma kau hoopomaikai ana e pomaikai ai ka ohana a kau kauwa mahope mau loa aku.
And now begin and bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you; for you, O Lord, my Lord, have spoken, and the house of your servant shall be blessed with your blessing so as to continue for ever.
