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 dwelling in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet: Behold I dwell in a house of cedar: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under 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 thy heart: for God is with thee.

3 Tusruk in fong sac, God El fahk nu sel Nathan,

Now 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 David my servant: Thus saith the Lord: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in.

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 remained in a house from the time that I brought up Israel, to this day: but I have been always changing places in a tabernacle, and in a 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.’

Abiding with all Israel. Did I ever speak to any one, of all the judges of Israel, whom I charged to feed my people, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?

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.

Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I took thee from the pastures, from following the flock, that thou shouldst be ruler 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 thee whithersoever thou hast gone: and have slain all thy enemies before thee, and have made thee a name like that of one of the great ones that are renowned in 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 shall dwell therein, and shall be moved no more, neither shall the children of iniquity waste them, as at 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.

Since the days that I gave judges to my people Israel, and have humbled all thy enemies. And I declare to thee, that the Lord will build thee a house.

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 thou shalt have ended thy days to go to thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy 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 me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

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 to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee.

14 Nga ac fah fililya tuh elan kol mwet luk ac tokosrai luk ma pahtpat. Ac fah wangin saflaiyen tokosrai lal nwe tok.’”

But I will settle him in my house, and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be most firm for ever.

15 Nathan el fahkang nu sel David ma nukewa ma God El akkalemye nu sel.

According to all these words, and according to all this 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 king David came and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldst give 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 hath seemed little in thy sight, and therefore thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servant for the time to come: and best made me remarkable 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 can David add more, seeing thou hast thus glorified thy servant, and 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, for thy servant’s sake, according to thy own heart, thou hast shewn all this magnificence, and wouldst have all the 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 none like thee: and there is no other God beside thee, of all whom we have heard of 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 nation is there upon earth like thy people Israel, whom God went to deliver, and make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terrors cast out nations before their face whom he had delivered out of Egypt?

22 Kom oru tuh mwet Israel in mwet lom ma pahtpat, ac kom, LEUM GOD, pa God lalos.

And thou hast made thy people Israel to be thy own people for ever, and thou, O Lord, art 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 which thou hast spoken to thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.

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 let thy name remain and be magnified for ever: and let it be said: The Lord of hosts is God of Israel, and the house of David his servant remaineth 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 thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build him a house: and therefore thy servant hath found confidence to pray before thee.

26 Kom, O LEUM GOD, kom pa God, ac kom orala wuleang wolana se inge nu sik.

And now O Lord, thou art God: and thou hast promised to thy 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 thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be always before thee: for seeing thou blessest it, O Lord, it shall be blessed for ever.
