< II Samuel 7 >

1 Apaman a nagnaed ti ari iti balayna, ken pinaginana isuna ni Yahweh manipud kadagiti amin a nakapalawlaw a kabusorna,
And it came to pass, when the king had taken up his abode in his house, —and Yahweh had given him rest round about, from all his enemies,
2 kinuna ti ari kenni Natan a profeta, “Kitaem, agnanaedak iti balay a sedro, ngem agtaltalinaed ti Lakasa ti Tulag ti Dios iti tengnga ti tolda.”
that the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See, I pray thee—I, have my abode in a house, of cedar, but, the ark of God, abideth in, the midst, of curtains.
3 Ket kinuna ni Natan iti ari, “Mapanka, aramidem ti adda dita pusom, ta adda ni Yahweh kenka.”
And Nathan said unto the king, All that is in thy heart, go—do, —for Yahweh is with thee.
4 Ngem iti dayta met la a rabii immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Natan ket kinunana,
But so it was, in that night, that the word of Yahweh came unto Nathan, saying:
5 “Mapanka ket ibagam kenni David nga adipenko, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Ibangonannak kadi iti balay a pagnaedak?
Go and say unto my servant—unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh, —Shalt, thou, build me a house, for me to dwell in;
6 Ta saanak pay a nagnaed iti balay sipud idi aldaw nga inruarko dagiti tattao ti Israel manipud Egipto inggana kadagitoy nga aldaw; ngem ketdi, agakar-akarak iti tolda, ti tabernakulo.
seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this day, —but have been wandering in a tent as my habitation?
7 Kadagiti amin a lugar a nagakar-akarak a kaduak dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel, adda kadi imbagak iti siasinoman kadagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti Israelita a dinutokak a mangaywan kadagiti tattaok nga Israel, nga ibagbagak, “Apay a saandak nga impatakderan iti balay a sedro?”'”
Wheresoever I have wandered with any of the sons of Israel, spake I ever, a word, with any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people Israel, saying, —Wherefore have ye not built me a house, of cedar?
8 Ita ngarud, ibagam kenni David nga adipenko, “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a mannakabalin amin: 'Innalaka manipud iti pagpaspasturan, manipud iti panagpaspastormo iti karnero, tapno iturayam dagiti tattaok nga Israel.
Now, therefore, thus, shalt thou say unto my servant, unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I myself, took thee away from the pasture, from after the flock, —to become leader over my people, over Israel;
9 Kinaduaanka sadinoman iti napanam ken pinapatayko iti sangoanam dagiti amin a kabusormo. Ken aramidek a natan-ok ti naganmo, kasla nagan dagiti natan-ok a tattao nga adda iti rabaw ti daga.
and was with thee, whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies, from before thee, —and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth;
10 Mangisaadak iti lugar a para kadagiti tattaok nga Israel ket pagtalinaedek ida sadiay, tapno makapagnaedda kadagiti bukodda a lugar ket saandanton a mariribukan. Awanton dagiti nadangkes a tattao a mangparigat kadakuada, a kas inaramidda idi,
and will appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, —neither shall the sons of perversity again humiliate them, as at first;
11 ti ar-aramidenda manipud kadagidi nga aldaw a binilinko dagiti uk-ukom nga agturay kadagiti tattaok nga Israel. Ket paginanaenka manipud kadagiti amin a kabusormo. Maysa pay, Siak, ni Yahweh, ibagak kenka nga iyaramidanka iti balay.
even from the day when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, thus will I give thee rest from all thine enemies. And Yahweh must tell thee that, a house, will Yahweh make for thee.
12 Inton malpasto dagiti aldawmo ket maitiponka kadagiti ammam, pataudekto ti sumukat kenka manipud kadagiti kaputotam, maysa nga agtaud iti mismo a bagim, ket ipasdekonto ti pagarianna.
And it shall be that, when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, which proceedeth from thine own body, —and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Mangbangunto isuna iti balay gapu iti naganko, ken pagtaginayunekto ti trono iti pagarianna.
He, shall build a house for my name, —and I will establish his kingly throne unto times age-abiding:
14 Agbalinnakto nga amana, ket agbalinto met isuna nga anakko. No makabasol isuna, adalakto isuna babaen iti sarukod dagiti tattao ken babaen iti panangsaplit kadagiti annak ti tattao.
I, will become his father, And, he, shall become my son: If he commit iniquity, then will I correct him, with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men;
15 Ngem agtalinaed kenkuana ti kinapudno ti tulagko, a kas imbabawik kenni Saul, nga inikkatko sakbay a nagarika.
But, my lovingkindness, shall not depart from him, —as I caused it to depart from Saul, whom I caused to depart from before thee.
16 Mapasingkedanto nga agtalinaed iti agnanayon ti balay ken pagariam. Agtalinaedto nga agnanayon ti tronom.'”
So shall thy house and thy kingdom be made steadfast unto times age-abiding, before thee, —thy throne, shall be established unto times age-abiding.
17 Kinasarita ni Natan ni David ket imbagana kenkuana amin dagitoy a sasao, ken imbagana kenkuana ti sibubukel a sirmata.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so, spake Nathan unto David.
18 Ket immuneg ni ari David ket natugaw iti sangoanan ni Yahweh; kinunana, “Siasino-ak koma, O Yahweh a Dios, ken ania koma ti pamiliak ta inyegnak iti kastoy a kasasaad?
Then entered King David, and tarried before Yahweh, —and said—Who am, I, My Lord, Yahweh, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me, hitherto;
19 Bassit daytoy a banag iti imatangmo, Apo a Yahweh. Imbagam pay ti maipanggep iti pamilia ti adipenmo a dumtengto ti naindaklan a tiempo, ken impakitam kaniak dagiti sumarsaruno a kaputotak, Apo a Yahweh!
and hast yet further made this seem little in thine eyes, My Lord, Yahweh, in that thou hast spoken, even of the house, of thy servant, for a great while to come? This, then is the law of manhood, O My Lord, Yahweh!
20 Siak daytoy ni David, ania pay ti maibagak kenka? Pinadayawam ti adipenmo, Apo a Yahweh.
What more, then, can David yet further speak unto thee, —seeing that, thou thyself knowest thy servant, O My Lord Yahweh?
21 Para kadagiti sasaom, ken tapno matungpal ti bukodmo a panggep, inaramidmo dagiti naindaklan a banbanag ken imparangmo daytoy iti adipenmo.
For the sake of thine own word, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, —making it known unto thy servant.
22 Ngarud naindaklanka, Apo a Yahweh. Ta awan ti kas kenka, ken awanen ti Dios malaksid kenka, kas kadagiti nangnangngegmi.
For this cause, hast thou magnified thyself, O Yahweh Elohim, —for there is none like unto, thee, yea there is no God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Ken ania a nasion ti kasla kadagiti tattaom nga Israelita, ti maysa a nasion iti rabaw ti daga a napanam ken inispalmo, Dios, a para kenka? Inaramidmo daytoy tapno agbalinda a tattaom, a mangitag-ay iti naganmo, ken agaramid kadagiti naindaklan ken nakaskasdaaw nga ar-aramid para iti dagam. Pinapanawmo dagiti nasion ken dagiti didiosenda manipud iti sangoanan dagiti tattaom, nga inispalmo manipud idiay Egipto.
Who, then, is like thy people, like Israel, a nation alone in the earth? whom God went to redeem for himself as a people, so to make himself a name, and to do for you the great deed, fearful things also for thy land, to make way for thy people, whom thou hadst redeemed for thyself, out of Egypt, [dealing with] nations and their god’s;
24 Inaramidmo ti Israel a bukodmo a tattao iti agnanayon, ken sika, Yahweh ti nagbalin a Diosda.
and hast established for thyself thy people Israel—for thyself as a people, unto times age-abiding, —thou thyself, also, O Yahweh, becoming their God.
25 Isu nga ita, Yahweh a Dios, dagiti koma ingkarim a maipapan iti adipenmo ken iti pamiliana ket mapasamak iti agnanayon. Aramidem koma a kas iti imbagam.
Now, therefore, O Yahweh Elohim, the word which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou, unto times age-abiding, —and do, as thou hast spoken:
26 Mataginayon koma a naindaklan ti naganmo, tapno ibaganto dagiti tattao, 'Ni Yahweh a mannakabalin amin ti Dios ti Israel,' kabayatan a maibangbangon iti sangoanam ti balayko, David, toy adipenmo.
that thy name may be age-abidingly magnified, saying, Yahweh of hosts, is God over Israel, and so, the house of thy servant David, be established before thee.
27 Ta sika, Yahweh a mannakabalin amin, a Dios ti Israel, ti nangipablaak iti adipenmo nga iyaramidamto isuna iti balay. Dayta ti makagapu a siak, ti adipenmo, ket napakired nga agkararag kenka.
For, thou, O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, hast unveiled the ear of thy servant, saying—A house, will I build for thee. For this cause, hath thy servant found in his heart, to pray unto thee, this prayer.
28 Ita, Apo a Yahweh, Dioska, ken mapagtalkan dagiti sasaom, ken inkarim daytoy nasayaat a kari iti adipenmo.
Now, therefore, O My Lord, Yahweh, thou, art God, and, thy words, shall prove true, —therefore hast thou spoken unto thy servant this goodness.
29 Ita ngarud, maay-ayonaka koma daytoy a mangbendision iti balay ti adipenmo, tapno agtultuloy daytoy iti agnanayon iti sangoanam. Ta sika, Apo a Yahweh ti nangibaga kadagitoy a banbanag, ken babaen iti panangbendisionmo agnanayunto a maparparaburan ti balay ti adipenmo.”
Now, therefore, be pleased to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue age-abidingly before thee, —for, thou, O My Lord, Yahweh, hast spoken, therefore, with thine own blessing, shall the house of thy servant be age-abidingly blessed.
