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 rest on every side from all his enemies,
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.
He said to Nathan the prophet: Dost thou see that I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God is lodged within skins?
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, do all that is in thy heart: because the Lord is with thee.
4 Fe amy haleñey avao, niheo amy Natane ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
But it came to pass 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 saith the Lord: Shalt thou build me a house 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.
Whereas I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt even to this day: but have walked in a tabernacle, 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?
In all the places that I have gone through with all the children of Israel, did ever I speak a word to any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed 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 shalt thou speak to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: a I took thee out of the pastures from following the sheep to be ruler over my people 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 have been with thee wheresoever thou hast walked, and have slain all thy enemies from before thy face: and I have made thee a great man, like unto the name of the great ones that are 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 I will plant them, and they shall dwell therein, and shall be disturbed no more: neither shall the children of iniquity afflict them any more as they did before,
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 day that I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give thee rest from all thy enemies. And the Lord foretelleth to thee, that the Lord will make thee a house.
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 when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, 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 a house to my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom 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 if he commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children 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 away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before my face.
16 Hioreñe ho fatratse nainai’e añatrefa’o ty fifehea’o vaho hajadoñe ho kitro añ’afe’e ty fiambesa’o.
And thy house shall be faithful, and thy kingdom for ever before thy face, and thy throne shall be firm 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 did Nathan speak 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 David went in, and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?
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?
But yet this hath seemed little in thy sight, O Lord God, unless thou didst also speak of the house of thy servant for a long time to come: for this is the law of Adam, O Lord God.
20 Aa ino ka ty hivolaña’ i Davide? amy te Ihe ro maharofoanañe o mpitoro’oo ry TalèIehovà.
And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord God:
21 O tsara’oo naho o arofo’oo ty nanoa’o o raha ra’elahy iaby zao, naho nampibentara’o amo mpitoro’oo.
For thy word’s sake, and according to thy own heart thou hast done all these great things, so that thou wouldst make it known to thy 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.
Therefore thou art magnified, O Lord God, because there is none like to thee, neither is there any God besides thee, in all the things that 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 nation is there upon earth, as thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for them great and terrible things, upon the earth, before the face of thy people, whom thou redeemedst to thyself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods.
24 naho najado’o ho azo ondati’o Israeleo ho foko’o nainai’e, ry Iehovà vaho te Ihe ro Andrianañahare’ iareo.
For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be an everlasting people: and thou, O Lord God, art 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 Lord God, raise up for ever the word that thou hast spoken, concerning thy servant and concerning his house: and do as thou hast spoken,
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.
That thy name may be magnified for ever, and it may be said: The Lord of hosts is God over Israel. And the house of thy servant David shall be established before the Lord.
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.
Because thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, saying: I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee.
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 God, thou art God, and thy words shall be true: for thou hast spoken to thy servant these good things.
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 thy servant, that it may endure for ever before thee: because thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it, and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
