Sie Chronicle 17
1 Inge Tokosra David el muta okak in lohm sin tokosra. Sie len ah el sapla nu sel Nathan mwet palu, ac fahk, “Inge nga muta in sie lohm orekla ke sak cedar, a Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD oan in lohm nuknuk se!”
Now when David was living in his house, he said to the prophet Nathan: “Behold, I live in a house of cedar. But the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent skins.”
2 Ac Nathan el fahk, “Oru ma nukewa ma kom nunku an, mweyen God El wi kom.”
And Nathan said to David: “Do all that is in your heart. For God is with you.”
3 Tusruk in fong sac, God El fahk nu sel Nathan,
And yet, that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
4 “Fahla ac fahk nu sel David mwet kulansap luk, lah nga fahk, ‘Tia kom pa mwet se ac musai sie tempul nu sik ngan muta loac.
“Go, and speak to my servant David: Thus says the Lord: You shall not build a house for me as a dwelling place.
5 Oe ke pacl se nga tuh molela mwet Israel liki inpoun mwet Egypt ah nwe misenge nga soenna muta in sie tempul. Pacl nukewa nga muta in lohm nuknuk ac mukuiwot mukuime, acn nu ke acn.
For I have not stayed in a house from the time when I led out Israel, even to this day. Instead, I have been continually changing places, in a tabernacle and tent,
6 In fufahsryesr luk nukewa yurin mwet Israel, wanginna pacl nga tuh siyuk sin mwet kol su nga sulela ah, lah efu ku elos tia musaela sie tempul ma orek ke sak cedar ah sik.’
dwelling with all of Israel. When did I ever speak to any one at all, among the judges of Israel whom I placed in charge so that they might pasture my people, saying: ‘Why have you not built a house of cedar for me?’
7 “Ke ma inge, fahk nu sel David mwet kulansap luk, lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana fahk nu sel, ‘Nga eiskomla liki liyaung sheep inimae, ac oru tuh kom in leum fin mwet luk, mwet Israel.
And so, now you shall say this to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you when you were following the flock in the pastures, so that you would be the leader of my people Israel.
8 Nga tuh wi kom yen nukewa kom fahla nu we, ac nga tuh kutangla mwet lokoalok lom nukewa ye motom. Nga fah oru kom in pwengpeng oana mwet kol fulatlana fin faclu.
And I have been with you wherever you have gone. And I have slain all your enemies before you, and I have made a name for you like one of the great ones who are celebrated upon the earth.
9 Nga tuh sulela sie acn nu sin mwet luk mwet Israel, ac oakelosi we tuh elos in ku in muta ke acn selos sifacna, ac tia sifil aklokoalokyeyuk. Mwet koluk fah tia sifil akkeokyalos oana meet
And I have given a place to my people Israel. They shall be planted, and they shall live in it, and they shall no longer be moved. Neither shall the sons of iniquity wear them away, as in the beginning,
10 ke pacl lun mwet nununku ah me, su nga tuh pakiya tuh elos in kol mwet luk, mwet Israel. Nga wulela nu sum lah nga ac karingin kom liki mwet lokoalok lom nukewa, oayapa nga fah oru in oasr tulik nutum.
from the days when I gave judges to my people Israel, and I humbled all your enemies. Therefore, I announce to you that the Lord will build a house for you.
11 Ke kom ac misa ac pukpuki yurin mwet matu lom, nga ac oru sie sin wen nutum in tokosra, ac nga ac fah liyaung tokosrai lal in ku.
And when you will have completed your days, so that you go to your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall be from your sons. And I will establish his kingdom.
12 El pa mwet se su ac musai sie tempul nu sik, ac nga ac fah oru fita lal in leum ma pahtpat.
He shall build a house for me, and I will make firm his throne, even unto eternity.
13 Nga ac fah papa tumal ac el fah wen nutik. Nga ac fah tia tulokinya kasru luk nu sel oana nga tuh oru nu sel Saul, su nga sisella tuh kom in tokosrala.
I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it away from the one who was before you.
14 Nga ac fah fililya tuh elan kol mwet luk ac tokosrai luk ma pahtpat. Ac fah wangin saflaiyen tokosrai lal nwe tok.’”
And I will station him in my house and in my kingdom, even forever. And his throne will be very firm, in perpetuity.”
15 Nathan el fahkang nu sel David ma nukewa ma God El akkalemye nu sel.
According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
16 Na Tokosra David el som nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD, ac el muta nu ten ac pre, “O LEUM GOD, nga ac sou luk kupansuwol in eis ma nukewa ma kom oru tari nu sik.
And when king David had departed, and had sat down before the Lord, he said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would grant such things to me?
17 Ac inge, LEUM GOD, kom sifilpa oru yohk liki: kom orek wulela tari ke tulik nutik nwe ke yac yac fahsru, ac kom sifacna oru nu sik oana ngan sie mwet fulat.
But even this has seemed little in your sight, and therefore you have also spoken about the house of your servant even for the future. And you have made me a spectacle above all men, O Lord God.
18 Mea pac nga ku in fahk nu sum! Kom arulana eteyu, a kom akfulatyeyu, mwet kulansap lom.
What more can David add, since you have so glorified your servant, and have known him?
19 Ma inge nukewa orek ke sripen lungse lom ac oakwuk lom, tuh kom in akkalemye nu sik ke ouiyen fulat luk tok.
O Lord, because of your servant, in accord with your own heart, you have brought about all this magnificence, and you have willed all these great things to be known.
20 LEUM GOD, wangin sie oana kom. Kut nuna etu oemeet me lah kom mukefanna pa God.
O Lord, there is no one like you. And there is no other God apart from you, out of all whom we have heard about with our ears.
21 Wangin pac sie mutunfacl fin faclu oana Israel, su kom molelosla liki kohs lalos tuh elos in mwet lom sifacna. Ma usrnguk ac wolana su kom oru nu selos, oru tuh Inem in pwengpeng fin faclu nufon. Kom tuh molela mwet lom liki facl Egypt, ac lusak mutunfacl saya ke mwet lom elos fahsr nu meet.
For what other single nation upon earth is like your people Israel, to whom God reached out, so that he might free them, and might make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terribleness cast out the nations before the face of those whom he had freed from Egypt?
22 Kom oru tuh mwet Israel in mwet lom ma pahtpat, ac kom, LEUM GOD, pa God lalos.
And you have set your people Israel to be your people, even unto eternity. And you, O Lord, have become their God.
23 “Ac inge, LEUM GOD, oru tuh wuleang se su kom wulela keik ac ke tulik nutik in akpwayeyuk nwe tok, ac oru oana ma kom fahk mu kom ac oru.
Now therefore, O Lord, let the word that you have spoken to your servant, and over his house, be confirmed in perpetuity, and do just as you have spoken.
24 Pweng keim ac fah arulana yohk, ac mwet uh ac fah fahk nwe tok, ‘LEUM GOD Kulana, El God lun Israel.’ Ac kom fah karinganang tuh fita luk in leum in fwil nukewa.
And may your name remain and be magnified even for all time. And let it be said: ‘The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel. And the house of his servant David remains forever before him.’
25 Nga pulaik in pre nu sum ouinge, O God luk, mweyen kom akkalemye ma inge nukewa nu sik, mwet kulansap lom, ac kom fahk pac nu sik lah kom ac oru fwil nutik nukewa in tokosra.
For you, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build a house for him. And therefore your servant has found faith so that he might pray before you.
26 Kom, O LEUM GOD, kom pa God, ac kom orala wuleang wolana se inge nu sik.
Now then, O Lord, you are God. And you have spoken to your servant such great benefits.
27 Nga siyuk sum tuh kom in akinsewowoye fwil nutik, tuh elos in engankin lungkulang lom pacl e nukewa. O LEUM GOD, kom akinsewowoyalos tari, ac mwe insewowo lom ac fah oan faclos nwe tok.”
And you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it may be always before you. For since it is you who is blessing, O Lord, it shall be blessed forever.”
