2 Samuele 7
1 Sima na mokonzi kovanda na ndako na ye mpe Yawe kopesa ye bopemi liboso ya banguna na ye nyonso oyo bazingelaki ye,
And it comes to pass, when the king sat in his house, and YHWH has given rest to him all around, from all his enemies,
2 mokonzi alobaki na mosakoli Natan: — Tala nanu likambo oyo! Ngai nazali kovanda na ndako batonga na mabaya ya sedele, kasi Sanduku ya Nzambe ezali kovanda kati na ndako ya kapo.
that the king says to Nathan the prophet, “Now see, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.”
3 Natan azongiselaki mokonzi: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na motema, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na yo.
And Nathan says to the king, “All that [is] in your heart—go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.”
4 Kasi na butu wana, Yawe alobaki na Natan:
And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying,
5 — Kende koyebisa Davidi, mosali na ngai: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Boni, yo nde okotongela ngai ndako mpo ete navanda kati na yango?
“Go, and you have said to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH: Do you build for Me a house for My dwelling in?
6 Natikali nanu kovanda na ndako moko te, banda mokolo oyo nabimisaki Isalaele na Ejipito kino lelo; nazalaki kotambola bipai na bipai na se ya ndako ya kapo, wana nazalaki kovanda kati na Mongombo.
For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a dwelling place.
7 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, Isalaele: ‹ Mpo na nini botongeli Ngai te ndako ya mabaya ya sedele? › »
During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
8 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 you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the pasture, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;
9 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 you wherever you have gone, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth,
10 Nakobongisa esika mpo na bato na Ngai, Isalaele; 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 appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and it is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it anymore, as in the beginning,
11 mpe ndenge bazalaki kosala bango tango nyonso wuta tango oyo naponaki bakambi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele. Nakopesa yo bopemi liboso ya banguna na yo nyonso. › Yawe atatoli mpo na yo ete Ye moko akosala ete bokonzi ewumela kati na libota na yo.
even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to you from all your enemies, and YHWH has declared to you that YHWH makes a house for you.
12 Tango mikolo ya bomoi na yo ekosila 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.
When your days are full, and you have lain with your fathers, then I have raised up your seed after you which goes out from your bowels, and have established his kingdom;
13 Ezali ye nde akotonga Ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakolendisa mpo na libela kiti na ye ya bokonzi.
he builds a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom for all time.
14 Nakozala Tata mpo na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana mpo na Ngai. Soki asali mabe, nakopesa ye etumbu; nakosalela bato lokola fimbu mpo na kobeta ye.
I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealing perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
15 Kasi nakotikala kolongola te bolingo na Ngai epai na ye ndenge nalongolaki yango epai ya Saulo oyo nalongolaki liboso na yo.
and My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you,
16 Libota na yo ya bokonzi mpe bokonzi na yo ekowumela tango nyonso liboso na Ngai, mpe kiti na yo ya bokonzi ekolendisama mpo na libela. »
and your house and your kingdom [are] steadfast before you for all time, your throne is established for all time.”
17 Natan ayebisaki Davidi maloba oyo nyonso mpe emoniseli oyo nyonso.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
18 Bongo mokonzi Davidi akotaki, avandaki liboso ya Yawe mpe alobaki: « Nkolo Yawe, ngai nazali nani, mpe libota na ngai ezali nini, mpo ete okomisa ngai na esika oyo nazali?
And King David comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, Lord YHWH? And what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
19 Ah Nkolo Yawe, lokola nde ekokaki te na miso na Yo, olobi lisusu na tina na lobi ya libota ya bokonzi ya mosali na Yo! Ah Nkolo Yawe, boni, ezali boye nde osalaka mpo na bato?
And yet this [is] little in Your eyes, Lord YHWH, and You also speak concerning the house of Your servant far off; and this [is] the law of the man, Lord YHWH.
20 Nini oyo Davidi akoki lisusu koloba na Yo? Pamba te, oh Nkolo Yawe, oyebi mosali na Yo?
And what does David add more to speak to You? And You, You have known Your servant, Lord YHWH.
21 Ezali mpo na Liloba na Yo mpe kolanda mokano na Yo nde okokisi likambo monene oyo, mpe osali ete eyebana epai ya mosali na Yo.
Because of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to cause Your servant to know [it].
22 Oh Nkolo Yawe, ozali monene ndenge nini! Moko te akokani na Yo; mpe, kolanda nyonso oyo toyoki na matoyi na biso, Nzambe mosusu azali te, bobele Yo!
Therefore You have been great, YHWH God, for there is none like You, and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Ekolo nini ekokani na bato na Yo, Isalaele, oyo, kati na mokili, Nzambe akendeki kosikola lokola bato mpo na Ye moko, mpo na kopesa yango kombo mpe kokokisa makambo minene, makambo ya kokamwa mpe ya somo na nzela ya kobengana bikolo elongo na banzambe na bango liboso ya bato na Yo, oyo osikolaki wuta na Ejipito?
And who [is] as Your people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God has gone to redeem for a people for Himself, and to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself the greatness—even fearful things for Your land, at the presence of Your people, whom You have redeemed for Yourself out of Egypt—[among the] nations and their gods?
24 Otiaki Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpo ete bazala bato na Yo mpo na libela; bongo Yo, oh Yawe, okomaki Nzambe na bango.
Indeed, You establish Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people for Yourself for all time, and You, YHWH, have been to them for God.
25 Sik’oyo, oh Yawe Nzambe, kokisa mpo na libela elaka oyo opesaki epai ya mosali na Yo mpe epai ya libota na ye. Sala ndenge olakaki
And now, YHWH God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, establish for all time, and do as You have spoken.
26 mpo ete Kombo na Yo ekumisama seko na seko, mpe bato bakoma kolobaka: ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali Nzambe ya Isalaele. › Boye bokonzi ya libota ya Davidi, mosali na Yo, ekolendisama liboso na Yo.
And Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You,
27 Oh Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, olakisaki na mosali na Yo makambo oyo na koloba: ‹ Nakosala ete bokonzi ewumela na libota na yo. › Yango wana mosali na Yo azwi makasi ya kosambela Yo na maloba oyo.
for You, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered the ear of Your servant, saying, I build a house for you, therefore Your servant has found his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 Sik’oyo, oh Nkolo Yawe, ozali penza Nzambe! Maloba na Yo ezali solo, mpe olakaki makambo oyo ya malamu epai ya mosali na Yo.
And now, Lord YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and Your words are truth, and You speak this goodness to Your servant,
29 Sik’oyo, tika ete opambola libota ya mosali na Yo mpo ete ewumela seko liboso na Yo; pamba te oh Nkolo Yawe, Yo nde olobaki, mpe na nzela ya lipamboli na Yo, libota ya mosali na Yo ekopambolama mpo na libela. »
and now, begin and bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time, for You, Lord YHWH, have spoken, and by Your blessing the house of Your servant is blessed for all time.”
