1 Cronicas 17
1 Napasamak daytoy kalpasan a nagnaeden ti ari iti balayna, kinunana kenni Natan a propeta, “Kitaem, agnanaedak iti balay a naaramid iti sedro, ngem adda iti sirok ti tolda ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh.”
After David began to live in his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It does not seem right that] I am here living in a palace made of cedar [wood], but Yahweh’s Sacred Chest is kept inside a tent!”
2 Ket kinuna ni Natan kenni David, “Mapanka, ket aramidem ti adda dita pusom, ta adda kenka ti Dios.
Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you are thinking about doing, do it, because God is with/guiding you.”
3 Ngem iti dayta met laeng a rabii, dimteng kenni Natan ti sao ti Dios a kinunana,
But that night God spoke [MTY] to Nathan. He said,
4 “Mapanka ket ibagam kenni David nga adipenko, 'Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh: Saannak nga ipatakderan iti balay a pagnaedak.
“Go and tell my servant David that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one who should build a temple for me to live in.
5 Ta saanak a nagnaed iti maysa a balay manipud iti aldaw nga impanawko ti Israel idiay Egipto agingga iti agdama nga aldaw. Ngem ketdi, nagnanaedak iti tolda, iti maysa a tabernakulo, kadagiti naduma-duma a luglugar.
I have not lived in any building, from the day that I brought the people of Israel up [out of Egypt] until now. Instead, I have [lived in a tent], moving from one place to another with [the Israelis] when they moved to other places [DOU].
6 Kadagiti amin a lugar nga immakarak a kadduak ti entero nga Israel, adda kadi ti aniaman nga imbagak iti siasinoman kadagiti mangidadaulo iti Israel a dinutokak a mangaywan kadagiti tattaok, a kunak, “'Apay a saandak nga impatakderan iti balay a naaramid iti sedro?"”'
Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never [RHQ] said to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead [MET] them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
7 “Ita ngarud, ibagam iti adipenko a ni David, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Innalaka manipud iti pagpaaraban, manipud iti panangsursurotmo kadagiti karnero, tapno sika iti mangituray kadagiti tattaok nga Israelita.
Therefore, this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘I, the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and I appointed you] to be the ruler of my Israeli people.
8 Ket addaak a kanayon kenka sadinoman a napanam ket pinasagko amin dagiti kabusormo iti sangoanam. Ket iyaramidanka iti nagan, kas iti nagan dagiti naindaklan a tattao nga adda iti rabaw iti daga.
I have (been with/helped) you wherever you have gone, and I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. And now I will cause you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the earth.
9 Mangpiliakto iti lugar a pagnaedan dagiti tattaok nga Israelita ket pagtalinaedekto isuda sadiay, tapno agnaeddanto iti kabukbukodanda a lugar ket saandanton a pulos a mariribuk pay. Saanton nga idadanes ida dagiti nadangkes a tattao, a kas iti inaramidda idi,
Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed them. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give not allow them to [be attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
10 kas iti ar-aramidenda manipud kadagiti al-aldaw a binilinko dagiti uk-ukom a mangituray kadagiti tattaok nga Israelita. Ket parmekekto dagiti amin a kabusormo. Kas kanayonanna, ibagak kenka, Siak a ni Yahweh ket ipatakderankanto iti balay.
11 Mapasamakto dayta inton malpasen dagiti al-aldawmo ket mapankan iti ayan dagiti ammam, itag-aykonto ti kaputotam a sumaruno kenka, ket maysa kadagiti kaputotam, pagtalinaedekto ti pagarianna.
When your life ends [EUP], and you [die and] go to be with your ancestors [who have died], I will appoint one of your sons to become king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
12 Ipatakderannakto iti balay, ket pagtalinaedekto ti tronona iti agnanayon.
He is the one who will [arrange for] a temple to be built for me. And I will enable his descendants to be kings [MTY] of Israel forever.
13 Siakto ti amana, ket isunanto ti anakko. Saankonto a babawyen manipud kenkuana ti kinapudnok iti tulagko a kas iti panangibabawik manipud kenni Saul, a nagturay sakbay kenka.
I will be [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me. I stopped loving [Saul, ] the one who was the king before you became king, but I will never stop loving your son.
14 Isaadkonto isuna a mangituray iti balayko ken iti pagariak iti agnanayon, ket agtalinaedto ti tronona iti agnanayon."”'
I will cause him to rule over my people [MTY], and his kingdom will endure forever [DOU].’”
15 Nakisao ni Natan kenni David ket impadamagna kenkuana amin dagitoy a sasao, ket imbagana kenkuana ti sibubukel a sirmata.
So Nathan reported to David everything that Yahweh had revealed to him.
16 Ket simrek ni David, nagtugaw iti sangoanan ni Yahweh; kinunana, “Siasinoak, O Yahweh a Dios, ken ania ti pamiliak, ta impannak iti daytoy a kasasaad?
Then David went [into the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh my God, I am certainly not [RHQ] worthy for you to have done all these things for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
17 Ket bassit daytoy a banag iti imatangmo, O Dios. Imbagam dagiti naindaklan a banbanag a mapasamakto iti masakbayan kadagiti pamilia toy adipenmo, ket impakitam kaniak dagiti masakbayan a henerasion, O Yahweh a Dios.
“And O God, now, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations. Yahweh my God, you have acted toward me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
18 Ania pay ti maibagak kenka, siak a ni David? Pinadayawam daytoy adipenmo. Inikkam daytoy adipenmo iti naisangsangayan a pammadayaw.
“What more can I, David, say to you [for honoring me]? Although you know very well what I am like,
19 O Yahweh, para iti pagimbagan daytoy adipenmo, ken tapno matungpal ti bukodmo a panggep, inaramidmo daytoy a naindaklan a banag tapno ipakitam dagiti amin a naindaklan nga aramidmo.
Yahweh, for my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done these great things [for me], and you have revealed to me these things [that you are promising to do].
20 O Yahweh, awanen iti kas kenka, ken awanen iti Dios malaksid kenka, kas iti kanayon a mangmangngegmi.
“Yahweh, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, which is what we have always heard.
21 Ken ania a nasion ditoy daga ti kas kadagiti tattaom nga Israelita, a sika, O Dios, ti nangispal manipud idiay Egipto kas tattaom, tapno aglatak ti naganmo babaen kadagiti naindaklan ken nakaskasdaaw nga ar-aramid? Pinapanawmo dagiti nasion manipud iti sangoanan dagiti tattaom, nga inispalmo manipud idiay Egipto.
And there is no nation in the world like Israel [RHQ]. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you rescued. You performed great and awesome miracles, rescuing our ancestors from [being slaves in] Egypt, and expelling the people of other people-groups [who were in Canaan].
22 Pinagbalinmo a tattaom iti agnanayon dagiti Israelita, ket sika, O Yahweh, ti nagbalin a Diosda.
You have caused us your Israeli people to belong to you forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our God!
23 Isu nga ita, O Yahweh, matungpal koma iti agnanayon ti inkarim iti adipenmo ken iti pamiliana. Aramidem koma kas insaom.
“And now Yahweh, I pray that you will cause the things that you have promised to do for me and my descendants [MTY] to be fulfilled forever.
24 Maitan-ok koma ti naganmo iti agnanayon ket agbalin a naindaklan, tapno ibaga dagiti tattao, 'Ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ket isu ti Dios ti Israel,' kabayatan a ti balayko, siak a ni David nga adipenmo ket agtalinaed iti sangoanam.
When that happens, you [MTY] will be famous forever. And people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, is the God who rules Israel!’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants [MTY] of mine who will rule.
25 Ta sika, O Diosko ti nangipakaammo iti adipenmo nga ipatakderam isuna iti balayna. Isu a, siak nga adipenmo, ket timmured nga agkararag kenka.
“You, my God, have revealed to me that you will cause [some of] my descendants to become kings. So I am brave enough to pray like this to you.
26 Ita O Yahweh, sika ti Dios, a nangikari iti nasayaat a kari iti adipenmo:
Yahweh, you are God! You have promised to do these good things for me.
27 Ita, naay-ayoka a mangbendision iti balay daytoy adipenmo, nga agtultuloy koma iti agnanayon iti sangoanam. Sika O Yahweh ti nangbendision iti daytoy, ket nagasatto daytoy iti agnanayon.”
And now you, Yahweh, have [promised to] bless my descendants [MTY], in order that they will continue to rule forever. That will happen because you, Yahweh, are the one who has blessed them, and you will keep blessing them forever.”
