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 had taken up his abode in his house, —and Yahweh had given him rest round about, 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.
that the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See, I pray thee—I, have my abode in a house, of cedar, but, the ark of God, abideth in, the midst, of curtains.
3 Le hoe t’i Natane amy mpanjakay: Akia, ano ze hene añ’ arofo’o; fa ama’o t’Iehovà.
And Nathan said unto the king, All that is in thy heart, go—do, —for Yahweh is with thee.
4 Fe amy haleñey avao, niheo amy Natane ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
But so it was, in that night, that the word of Yahweh came unto Nathan, saying:
5 Akia, saontsio t’i Davide mpitoroko: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ihe hao ty hamboatse anjomba himoneñako?
Go and say unto my servant—unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh, —Shalt, thou, 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.
seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this day, —but have been wandering in a tent as my habitation?
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?
Wheresoever I have wandered with any of the sons of Israel, spake I ever, a word, with any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people Israel, saying, —Wherefore have ye 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.
Now, therefore, thus, shalt thou say unto my servant, unto David: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I myself, took thee away from the pasture, from after the flock, —to become leader 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 was with thee, whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies, from before thee, —and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones who are in 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 will appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, —neither shall the sons of perversity again humiliate them, as at first;
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.
even from the day when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, thus will I give thee rest from all thine enemies. And Yahweh must tell thee that, a house, will Yahweh make for thee.
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 be that, when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, which proceedeth from thine own body, —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 for my name, —and I will establish his kingly throne unto times age-abiding:
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 become his father, And, he, shall become my son: If he commit iniquity, then will I correct 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 lovingkindness, shall not depart from him, —as I caused it to depart from Saul, whom I caused to depart from before thee.
16 Hioreñe ho fatratse nainai’e añatrefa’o ty fifehea’o vaho hajadoñe ho kitro añ’afe’e ty fiambesa’o.
So shall thy house and thy kingdom be made steadfast unto times age-abiding, before thee, —thy throne, shall be established unto times age-abiding.
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, spake Nathan unto 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?
Then entered King David, and tarried before Yahweh, —and said—Who am, I, My Lord, Yahweh, and what is my house, that thou hast brought 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?
and hast yet further made this seem little in thine eyes, My Lord, Yahweh, in that thou hast spoken, even of the house, of thy servant, for a great while to come? This, then is the law of manhood, O My Lord, Yahweh!
20 Aa ino ka ty hivolaña’ i Davide? amy te Ihe ro maharofoanañe o mpitoro’oo ry TalèIehovà.
What more, then, can David yet further speak unto thee, —seeing that, thou thyself knowest thy servant, O My Lord Yahweh?
21 O tsara’oo naho o arofo’oo ty nanoa’o o raha ra’elahy iaby zao, naho nampibentara’o amo mpitoro’oo.
For the sake of thine own word, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, —making it known unto 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.
For this cause, hast thou magnified thyself, O Yahweh Elohim, —for there is none like unto, thee, yea there is no God besides thee, according to all 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?
Who, then, is like thy people, like Israel, a nation alone in the earth? whom God went to redeem for himself as a people, so to make himself a name, and to do for you the great deed, fearful things also for thy land, to make way for thy people, whom thou hadst redeemed for thyself, out of Egypt, [dealing with] nations and their god’s;
24 naho najado’o ho azo ondati’o Israeleo ho foko’o nainai’e, ry Iehovà vaho te Ihe ro Andrianañahare’ iareo.
and hast established for thyself thy people Israel—for thyself as a people, unto times age-abiding, —thou thyself, also, O Yahweh, becoming 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.
Now, therefore, O Yahweh Elohim, the word which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou, unto times age-abiding, —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 age-abidingly magnified, saying, Yahweh of hosts, is God over Israel, and so, the house of thy servant David, be established before thee.
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.
For, thou, O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, hast unveiled the ear of thy servant, saying—A house, will I build for thee. For this cause, hath thy servant found in his heart, to pray unto thee, this prayer.
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;
Now, therefore, O My Lord, Yahweh, thou, art God, and, thy words, shall prove true, —therefore hast thou spoken unto thy servant this goodness.
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.
Now, therefore, be pleased to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue age-abidingly before thee, —for, thou, O My Lord, Yahweh, hast spoken, therefore, with thine own blessing, shall the house of thy servant be age-abidingly blessed.
