1 Sima na mokonzi kovanda na ndako na ye mpe Yawe kopesa ye bopemi liboso ya banguna na ye nyonso oyo bazingelaki ye,
It happened that after the king had settled in his house, and after Yahweh had given him rest from all his surrounding 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.
the king said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is staying in the middle of a tent.”
3 Natan azongiselaki mokonzi: — Sala nyonso oyo ozali na yango na motema, pamba te Yawe azali elongo na yo.
Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do what is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
4 Kasi na butu wana, Yawe alobaki na Natan:
But that same night the word of Yahweh came 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 tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: Will you build me a house in which to live?
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 lived in a house from the day that I brought up the people of Israel out of Egypt until this present day; instead, I have been moving about in a tent, a tabernacle.
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? › »
In all places where I have moved among all the people of Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”'”
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.
Now then, tell my servant David, “This is what Yahweh of hosts says: 'I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, so that you would be ruler over my people 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.
I have been with you wherever you went. I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the great ones of 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
I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them there, so that they may live in their own place and be troubled no more. No longer will wicked people oppress them, as they did before,
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.
as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Now I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, I, Yahweh declare to you that I will make you a house.
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 fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up a descendant after you, one who will come out from your body, and I will establish 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 will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
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 will be a father to him, and he will be my son. When he sins, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the whipping of the sons of men.
15 Kasi nakotikala kolongola te bolingo na Ngai epai na ye ndenge nalongolaki yango epai ya Saulo oyo nalongolaki liboso na yo.
But my covenant faithfulness will not leave him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed 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. »
Your house and kingdom will be confirmed forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.'”
17 Natan ayebisaki Davidi maloba oyo nyonso mpe emoniseli oyo nyonso.
Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire vision.
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?
Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh and said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family that you have brought me to this point?
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?
Now this was a small thing in your sight, Lord Yahweh. You have even spoken about your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Lord Yahweh!
20 Nini oyo Davidi akoki lisusu koloba na Yo? Pamba te, oh Nkolo Yawe, oyebi mosali na Yo?
What more can I, David, say to you? You have known your servant, Lord Yahweh.
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.
For your word's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing and revealed it to your servant.
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 are great, Lord Yahweh, for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, as we have heard with our own 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?
What nation is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom you, God, went and rescued for yourself? You did this so that they would become a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself, and to do great and fearful deeds for your land. You drove out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you rescued from Egypt.
24 Otiaki Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpo ete bazala bato na Yo mpo na libela; bongo Yo, oh Yawe, okomaki Nzambe na bango.
You established Israel as your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, became their 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
So now, Yahweh God, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. 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.
May your name be forever great, so the people will say, 'Yahweh of hosts is the God of Israel,' while the house of me, David, your servant 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, Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. That is why I, your servant, have found courage to pray 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.
Now, Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are trustworthy, and you have made this good promise 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. »
Now then, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, Lord Yahweh, have said these things, and with your blessing your servant's house will be blessed forever.”
