1 Masolo ya Kala 17
1 Wana Davidi avandaki na ndako na ye ya bokonzi, alobaki na mosakoli Natan: — Nazali kovanda na ndako batonga na mabaya ya sedele, kasi Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ezali kati na ndako ya kapo.
And it cometh to pass as David sat in his house, that David saith unto Nathan the prophet, 'Lo, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah [is] under curtains;'
2 Natan azongiselaki Davidi: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na motema, pamba te Nzambe azali elongo na yo.
and Nathan saith unto David, 'All that [is] in thy heart do, for God [is] with thee.'
3 Kasi na butu wana, Nzambe alobaki na Natan:
And it cometh to pass on that night that a word of God is unto Nathan, saying,
4 — Kende koyebisa Davidi, mosali na Ngai: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Ezali yo te moto okotongela Ngai ndako mpo ete navanda kati na yango.
'Go, and thou hast said unto David My servant, Thus said Jehovah, Thou dost not build for Me the house to dwell in:
5 Banda mokolo oyo nabimisaki Isalaele na Ejipito kino lelo, natikali nanu kovanda na ndako moko te; nazalaki kaka kati na Mongombo, longwa na esika songolo kino na esika pakala.
for I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel till this day, and I am from tent unto tent: and from the tabernacle,
6 Na bisika nyonso oyo natamboli elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele, boni, nasilaki koloba ata na moko kati na bakambi na bango, oyo natiaki mpo na kobatela bato na Ngai: ‘Mpo na nini botongeli Ngai te ndako ya mabaya ya sedele?’ ›
whithersoever I have walked up and down among all Israel, a word spake I, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have ye not built for Me a house of cedars?
7 Yebisa sik’oyo Davidi, mosali na Ngai: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Ezali Ngai nde nazwaki yo na zamba epai wapi ozalaki koleisa mpe kobatela bibwele, mpo ete nakomisa yo mokonzi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
'And now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the habitation, from after the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel,
8 Nazalaki elongo na yo na bisika nyonso oyo okendeki mpe nabomaki banguna na yo nyonso liboso na yo. Sik’oyo, nakokomisa kombo na yo monene lokola bakombo ya bato minene oyo bazali kati na mokili.
and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and I cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a name like the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth.
9 Nakobongisa esika mpo na bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe nakolona bango mpo ete bazala na esika na bango moko mpe batungisa bango lisusu te. Bato mabe bakonyokola bango lisusu te ndenge bazalaki konyokola bango liboso;
'And I have prepared a place for My people Israel, and planted it, and it hath dwelt in its place, and is not troubled any more, and the sons of perverseness add not to wear it out as at first,
10 mpe ndenge bazalaki kosala bango tango nyonso wuta tango oyo naponaki bakambi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele. Nakotia lisusu banguna na yo na se ya bokonzi na yo. Boye, nazali koyebisa yo ete Yawe akosala ete bokonzi ewumela kati na libota na yo.
yea, even from the days that I appointed judges over My people Israel. 'And I have humbled all thine enemies, and I declare to thee that a house doth Jehovah build for thee,
11 Tango okosilisa mobembo na yo awa na mokili mpe okokende kokutana na batata na yo, nakotombola moko kati na bakitani na yo, oyo akobima penza na mokongo na yo, mpo ete akitana na yo; mpe nakolendisa bokonzi na ye.
and it hath come to pass, when thy days have been fulfilled to go with thy fathers, that I have raised up thy seed after thee, who is of thy sons, and I have established his kingdom,
12 Ezali ye nde akotonga Ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakolendisa mpo na libela kiti na ye ya bokonzi.
he doth build for Me a house, and I have established his throne unto the age;
13 Nakozala tata mpo na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana mpo na Ngai; nakotikala kolongola te bolingo na Ngai epai na ye ndenge nalongolaki yango epai ya mokonzi oyo alekaki liboso na yo.
I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son, and My kindness I turn not aside from him as I turned it aside from him who was before thee,
14 Nakotia ye mokonzi ya ndako na Ngai mpe ya mokili na Ngai mpo na libela, mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi ekolendisama mpo na libela. › »
and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom unto the age, and his throne is established unto the age.'
15 Natan ayebisaki Davidi maloba oyo nyonso mpe emoniseli oyo nyonso.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.
16 Mokonzi Davidi akotaki, avandaki liboso ya Yawe mpe alobaki: « Oh Yawe Nzambe, ngai nazali nani, mpe libota na ngai ezali nini, mpo ete okomisa ngai na esika oyo nazali?
And David the king cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, 'Who [am] I, O Jehovah God, and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 Mpe lokola nde ekokaki te na miso na Yo, Nzambe na ngai, olobi lisusu na tina na lobi ya libota ya bokonzi ya mosali na Yo! Oh Yawe Nzambe, ozali kozwa ngai lokola moto ya lokumu!
And this is small in Thine eyes, O God, and Thou speakest concerning the house of thy servant afar off, and hast seen me as a type of the man who is on high, O Jehovah God!
18 Nini oyo Davidi akoki lisusu koloba na Yo mpo na lokumu oyo ozali kopesa na mosali na Yo? Pamba te, oh Yawe, oyebi mosali na Yo.
'What doth David add more unto Thee for the honour of Thy servant; and Thou Thy servant hast known.
19 Oh Yawe, mpo na mosali na Yo mpe kolanda mokano na Yo, okokisi makambo minene oyo mpe osali ete bilaka minene oyo nyonso eyebana.
O Jehovah, for Thy servant's sake, and according to Thine own heart Thou hast done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
20 Oh Yawe, moko te akokani na Yo; mpe, kolanda nyonso oyo toyoki na matoyi na biso, Nzambe mosusu azali te, bobele Yo!
O Jehovah, there is none like Thee, and there is no god save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 Boni, ezali solo na ekolo moko kati na mokili, oyo ekokani na bato na Yo, Isalaele; ekolo oyo, kati na mokili, Nzambe asikola bato na yango mpo na lokumu na Ye moko? Osalaki ete Kombo na yo ekende sango na nzela ya misala minene mpe ya somo oyo osalaki tango obenganaki bikolo liboso ya bato na Yo, oyo akangolaki na Ejipito.
'And who [is] as Thy people Israel, one nation in the earth whom God hath gone to ransom to Him for a people, to make for Thee a name great and fearful, to cast out from the presence of Thy people whom Thou hast ransomed out of Egypt — nations?
22 Okomisi Isalaele bato na Yo mpo na libela, mpe Yo, Yawe, okomi Nzambe na bango.
Yea, Thou dost appoint Thy people Israel to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, O Jehovah, hast been to them for God.
23 Bongo sik’oyo, oh Yawe, tika ete elaka oyo opesaki epai ya mosali na Yo mpe libota na ye ekokisama mpo na libela! Sala ndenge olakaki.
'And now, O Jehovah, the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, let be stedfast unto the age, and do as Thou hast spoken;
24 Boye, sala ete ekokisama, mpo ete Kombo na Yo ekumisama seko na seko mpe bato bakoma kolobaka: ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele, azali solo Nzambe mpo na Isalaele! › Boye bokonzi ya libota ya mosali na Yo, Davidi, ekolendisama liboso na Yo.
and let it be stedfast, and Thy name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, is God to Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee;
25 Solo, Yo moko, Nzambe na ngai, olakisaki na mosali na Yo ete okosala ete bokonzi ewumela na libota na ye. Yango wana mosali na Yo azwi makasi ya kosambela Yo.
for Thou, O my God, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant — to build to him a house, therefore hath Thy servant found to pray before Thee.
26 Sik’oyo oh Yawe, ozali Nzambe! Olakaki makambo ya malamu epai ya mosali na Yo.
'And now, Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thou speakest concerning Thy servant this goodness;
27 Osepeli sik’oyo kopambola libota ya mosali na Yo mpo ete ewumela seko liboso na Yo; pamba te ezali Yo, Yawe, nde opamboli yango, mpe epambolami mpo na libela. »
and now, Thou hast been pleased to bless the house of Thy servant, to be to the age before Thee; for Thou, O Jehovah, hast blessed, and it is blessed to the age.'
