2 Samoela 7
1 Ie amy zao, fa nimoneñe añ’ anjomba’e ao i mpanjakay vaho hene nampitofae’ Iehovà ze rafelahi’e mb’ etia mb’etia,
And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side [free] from all his enemies round about him;
2 le hoe i mpanjakay amy Natane, mpitoky: Eo hey! Mimoneñe añ’ anjomba mendoraven-draho, fe mimoneñe an-damba miradorado ao ty vatam-pañinan’ Añahare.
that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent.
3 Le hoe t’i Natane amy mpanjakay: Akia, ano ze hene añ’ arofo’o; fa ama’o t’Iehovà.
And Nathan said to the king, Go and do all that [is] in your heart, for the Lord [is] with you.
4 Fe amy haleñey avao, niheo amy Natane ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
5 Akia, saontsio t’i Davide mpitoroko: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ihe hao ty hamboatse anjomba himoneñako?
Go, and say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord, You shall not build me a house for me to dwell in.
6 Izaho tsy nimoneñe an-traño sikal’ amy nampiavotako boake Mitsraime añe o ana’ Israeleoy, pak’ androany, fa i kibohotsey naho i kivohoy ty nombako.
For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent,
7 Aa vaho fa nametse tsara raike hao iraho am-pifokoa’ Israele ndra aman’ iaia amo hene tane nombako mindre amo ana’ Israeleo, o nandiliako hamahañe ondatiko Israeleoo, ty hoe: Manao akore te tsy nandranjia’o anjomba mendoraven-draho?
wherever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built me a house of Cedar?
8 Aa le zao ty ho saontsie’o amy mpitoroko Davidey: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Rinambeko am-piandrazañe ao irehe, am-pañorihañe añondry, ho mpifelek’ ondatiko Israeleo.
And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheep-cote, that you should be a prince over my people, over Israel.
9 Fa nindre ama’o iraho ndra aia’ aia ty nañaveloa’o, naho zinamako aolo’o ey o rafelahi’o iabio; mbore hitolorako tahinañe ra’elahy, manahake o jabajaba an-tane atoio.
And I was with you wherever you went, and I destroyed all your enemies before you, and I made you renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.
10 Le hanendreako toetse ondatiko Israeleo, le hajadoko iereo, songa himoneñe an-toe’e, tsy ho tsoboreñe ka; vaho tsy hanolo-tsotry am’iareo ka o anan-katsivokarañeo, manahake te taolo,
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more afflict them, as he [has done] from the beginning,
11 sikal’ amy andro nililieko mpizaka hifehe ondatiko Israeleio. Le hampitofàko amo rafelahi’o iabio irehe. Tovo izay, Mitaroñe ama’o t’Iehovà t’ie hanoa’ Iehovà anjomba.
from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give you rest from all your enemies, and the Lord will tell you that you shall build a house to him.
12 Ie heneke o andro’oo, naho hirotse aman-droae’o ao, le horizako ty tiri’o hanonjohy azo, ty hiboak’ an-tsandri’o, le hajadoko i fifeleha’ey.
And it shall come to pass when your days shall have been fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even your own issue, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Ie ty handranjy anjomba ho amy añarakoy, le horizako ho nainai’e i fifeleha’ey.
He shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever.
14 Ho rae ama’e iraho, le ho anake amako re; aa ie mandilatse le ho lafaeko an-kobai’ ondatio, naho am-pamofoha’ o ana’ ondatio;
I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.
15 fe tsy hasintak’ ama’e ty fitretrezako, manahake ty nampisintahako aze amy Saole, i naviko aolo’o.
But my mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.
16 Hioreñe ho fatratse nainai’e añatrefa’o ty fifehea’o vaho hajadoñe ho kitro añ’afe’e ty fiambesa’o.
And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.
17 Nitaroñe’ i Natane amy Davide i tsara zay naho i hene aroñaroñey.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
18 Aa le nizilik’ ao t’i Davide mpanjaka niambesatse añatrefa’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe; Ia v’iraho ry Talè Iehovà vaho ino i trañokoy te nendese’o pak’eo?
And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that you have loved me hitherto?
19 f’ie mbe loho kede am-pihaino’o, ry Talè Iehovà, kanao nitsarae’o i akibam-pitoro’oy t’ie ho haehae añe ka; ie toe fañoha ondaty, ry Talè Iehovà?
Whereas I was very little before you, O Lord, my Lord, yet you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a long time to [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?
20 Aa ino ka ty hivolaña’ i Davide? amy te Ihe ro maharofoanañe o mpitoro’oo ry TalèIehovà.
And what shall David yet say to you? and now you know your servant, O Lord, my Lord.
21 O tsara’oo naho o arofo’oo ty nanoa’o o raha ra’elahy iaby zao, naho nampibentara’o amo mpitoro’oo.
And you have wrought for your servant's sake, and according to your heart you have wrought all this greatness, to make it known to your servant,
22 Aa le onjonen-dRehe ry Rañandria Iehovà, fa tsy amam-pihambañe, vaho tsy eo t’i Andrianañahare hatovoñ’ Azo, ty amy ze he’e jinanjin-dravembia’ay.
that he may magnify you, O my Lord; for there is no one like you, and there is no God, but you amongst all of whom we have heard with our ears.
23 Aa ia ka ty fifeheañe ambone’ ty tane toy mañirinkiriñe ondati’o Israeleo, ie navoten’ Andrinañahare hijebañe aze hondati’e, hanoa’e tahinañe, hitoloña’e raha fanjaka naho tsitantane ho an-tane’o añatrefa’ ondaty jineba’o amo fifeheañeo naho amo ‘ndrahare’eo ho azo boak’ an-tane Mitsraimeo?
And what other nation in the earth [is] as your people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make you a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that you should cast out nations an [their] tabernacles from the presence of your people, whom you did redeem for yourself out of Egypt?
24 naho najado’o ho azo ondati’o Israeleo ho foko’o nainai’e, ry Iehovà vaho te Ihe ro Andrianañahare’ iareo.
And you has prepared for yourself your people Israel to be a people for ever, and you, Lord, are become their God.
25 Ie amy zao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare, ajadoño ho nainai’e i nitsarae’o o mpitoro’oo naho i anjomba’eiy; aa le ano i linaño’oy.
And now, O my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which you have spoken concerning your servant and his house: and now as you have said,
26 Honjoneñe nainai’e ty tahina’o, soa te ho saontsieñe ty hoe: Iehovà’ i Màroy ro Andrianañahare’ Israele; vaho hioreñe nainai’e añatrefa’o ty anjomba’ o mpitoro’o Davideo.
Let your name be magnified for ever.
27 Fa nabenta’o amo mpitoro’oo, ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ Israeleo ami’ty hoe: Handranjiako anjomba; aa le nahasibek’ an-troke ty mpitoro’o hitaroñe o halaly zao.
Almighty Lord God of Israel, you have uncovered the ear of your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore your servant has found [in] his heart to pray this prayer to you.
28 Toe Ihe ry Talè Iehovà, Ihe avao ro Andrianañahare, naho o tsara’oo ro to vaho nampitamae’o amo mpitoro’oo o raha soa zao;
And now, O Lord my Lord, you are God; and your words will be true, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant.
29 ie henaneo, ehe te ho no’o ty hitahy ty akibam-pitoro’o hitoloña’e nainai’e añatrefa’o, ty amy nitsara’oy ry Talè Iehovà; le lonik’ abey te ho soa-tahy nainai’e ty akibam-pitoro’o am-pitahia’o.
And now begin and bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you; for you, O Lord, my Lord, have spoken, and the house of your servant shall be blessed with your blessing so as to continue for ever.
