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 dwelt in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
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 unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, while the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
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, all that is in thy heart go and do; for the Lord is with thee.
4 A ia po iho no, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io Natana la, i mai la.
And it came to pass during that night, That the word of the Lord came unto 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 unto my servant, unto David, Thus hath said the Lord, Wilt thou indeed build me a house for my dwelling?
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 dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even until this day; but have been moving about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
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?
In all the places where I moved about among all the children of Israel, did I speak a word to any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I ordained to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built for 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.
Now therefore, thus shalt thou say unto my servant, to David, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheep-cote, from behind the flocks, to be a ruler 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 have been with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and I have cut off all thy enemies from thy presence, and I have made thee a great name, like the name of the great who are 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 have procured a place for my people, for 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 afflict them any more as aforetimes,
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.
And [as it was] since the day that I ordained judges to be over my people Israel; and I have caused thee to rest from all thy enemies; and the Lord telleth thee that he, the Lord, will make thee a house.
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.
When thy days will be completed, and thou wilt sleep with thy fathers: then will I set up thy seed after thee, who shall proceed out of thy body, 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 it is that shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom 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 too will be to him as a father, and he shall indeed be to me as a son: so that when he committeth iniquity, I will chastise him with the rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of man;
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 kindness shall not depart from him, as I caused it to depart from Saul, whom I removed from before thee.
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 thy house and thy kingdom shall be steadfast for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17 Ma keia mau olelo 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.
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?
Then went king David in, and sat down before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord Eternal? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me as far as hitherward?
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?
And this was yet too small a thing in thine eyes, O Lord Eternal; and thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a distant time. And is this the desert of man, O Lord Eternal?
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 can David add yet more to speak unto thee? since thou, O Lord Eternal, knowest well thy servant?
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.
For the sake of thy word, and in accordance with thy own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, so as to let thy servant know it.
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.
Therefore art thou great, O Eternal God; for there is none like thee, and there is no God beside thee, in accordance with all that 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 who is like thy people, like Israel, the only nation on the earth, which God went to redeem for himself as a people, and to acquire for himself a name, and to do for you this great deed, and fearful things for thy land [to drive out], from before thy people which thou hast redeemed for thyself from Egypt, nations and their gods.
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.
For thou hast established for thyself thy people Israel as a people unto thee for ever; and thou, O Lord, art indeed 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 Eternal God, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, stand firm for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.
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.
And let thy name be magnified unto everlasting, that men may say, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and may the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
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.
For thou, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, saying, A house will be built up for thee; therefore hath thy servant found the heart to pray unto thee this prayer.
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 Eternal, thou art the [true] God, and thy words must become the truth, and thou hast spoken unto thy servant this goodness:
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 let it please thee and bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord Eternal, hast spoken it; and from thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
