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 from all his enemies round about,
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 an house of cedar, but 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, Go, do all that is in thine heart; 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 the same 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 tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an 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 dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked 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 places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel, spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built me an 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 David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be 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 have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in 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, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
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] from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover the LORD telleth thee that the LORD will make thee an 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 be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, 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 an 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 will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children 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 shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away 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 thine house and thy kingdom shall be made sure 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.
According to all these words, and according to 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 David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?
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 a small thing in thine eyes, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, O Lord GOD!
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 say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord GOD.
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 thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make 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.
Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to 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 what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, [from] the 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.
And thou didst establish to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest 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 LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it 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 for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is God over Israel: and the house of thy servant David shall 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 thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
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 GOD, thou art God, and thy words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto thy 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.
now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
