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,
It happened that after the king had settled in his house, and after Yahweh had given him rest from all his surrounding 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.
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 Le hoe t’i Natane amy mpanjakay: Akia, ano ze hene añ’ arofo’o; fa ama’o t’Iehovà.
Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do what is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
4 Fe amy haleñey avao, niheo amy Natane ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
But that same night the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,
5 Akia, saontsio t’i Davide mpitoroko: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ihe hao ty hamboatse anjomba himoneñako?
“Go and tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: Will you build me a house in which to live?
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 people of Israel out of Egypt until this present day; instead, I have been moving about in a tent, a tabernacle.
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 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 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 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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 Ie ty handranjy anjomba ho amy añarakoy, le horizako ho nainai’e i fifeleha’ey.
He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
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 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 fe tsy hasintak’ ama’e ty fitretrezako, manahake ty nampisintahako aze amy Saole, i naviko aolo’o.
But my covenant faithfulness will not leave him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
16 Hioreñe ho fatratse nainai’e añatrefa’o ty fifehea’o vaho hajadoñe ho kitro añ’afe’e ty fiambesa’o.
Your house and kingdom will be confirmed forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.'”
17 Nitaroñe’ i Natane amy Davide i tsara zay naho i hene aroñaroñey.
Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire vision.
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 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 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?
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 Aa ino ka ty hivolaña’ i Davide? amy te Ihe ro maharofoanañe o mpitoro’oo ry TalèIehovà.
What more can I, David, say to you? You have known your servant, 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 your word's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing and revealed it 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.
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 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?
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 naho najado’o ho azo ondati’o Israeleo ho foko’o nainai’e, ry Iehovà vaho te Ihe ro Andrianañahare’ iareo.
You established Israel as your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, became 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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, Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are trustworthy, and you have made this good promise to 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.
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.”
