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;
It happened that after the king had settled in his house, and after Yahweh had given him rest from all his surrounding 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.
the king said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is staying in the middle 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.
Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do what is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
4 A ia po iho no, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io Natana la, i mai la.
But that same night the word of Yahweh 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 tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: Will you build me a house in which to live?
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 people of Israel out of Egypt until this present day; instead, I have been moving about in a tent, 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 where I have moved among all the people of Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd 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.
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.
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.
I have been with you wherever you went. I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the great ones of 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.
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,
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.
as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Now I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, I, Yahweh declare to you that I will make you 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 your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up a descendant after you, one who will come out from your 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 will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
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 a father to him, and he will be my son. When he sins, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the whipping 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 covenant faithfulness will not leave him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
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.
Your house and kingdom will be confirmed forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.'”
17 Ma keia mau olelo 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.
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 Yahweh and said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family that you have brought me to this point?
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?
Now this was a small thing in your sight, Lord Yahweh. You have even spoken about your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Lord Yahweh!
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.
What more can I, David, say to you? You have known your servant, Lord Yahweh.
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 your word's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing and revealed it 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.
Therefore you are great, Lord Yahweh, for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, as we have heard with our own 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.
What nation is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom you, God, went and rescued for yourself? You did this so that they would become a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself, and to do great and fearful deeds for your land. You drove out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you rescued from 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.
You established Israel as your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, became 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.
So now, Yahweh God, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. Do as you have 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.
May your name be forever 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.
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 you, Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, 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.
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:
Now, Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are trustworthy, and you have made this good promise to 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.
Now then, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, Lord Yahweh, have said these things, and with your blessing your servant's house will be blessed forever.”
