1 Whakapapa 17

1 A, i a Rawiri e noho ana i tona whare, ka mea a Rawiri ki a Natana poropiti, Na kei te noho ahau ki te whare hita, ko te aaka ia o te kawenata a Ihowa kei raro i te arai kakahu e noho ana.

And it came to pass as David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord [is] under [curtains] of skins.

2 Ano ra ko Natana ki a Rawiri, Meatia nga mea katoa i tou ngakau; kei a koe hoki te Atua.

And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God [is] with you.

3 Na i taua po ka puta te kupu a te Atua ki a Natana, ka mea,

And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, [saying],

4 Haere, mea atu ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e hanga e koe he whare hei nohoanga moku:

Go and say to David my servant, Thus said the Lord, You shall not build me a house for me to dwell in it.

5 Kahore nei hoki ahau i noho i roto i te whare, o te rangi i kawea mai ai e ahau a Iharaira a taea noatia tenei ra; heoi he noho haere toku i tetahi teneti ki tetahi teneti, i tetahi tapenakara ki tetahi tapenakara.

For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, but I have been in a tabernacle and a tent,

6 I oku haereerenga katoa i roto i a Iharaira katoa i puaki ranei tetahi kupu aku ki tetahi o nga kaiwhakarite o Iharaira i whakaritea e ahau hei hepara mo taku iwi? i mea ranei ahau, He aha koutou te hanga whare hita ai moku?

in all places through which I have gone with all Israel: did I ever speak to [any] one tribe of Israel whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, [Why is it] that you have not built me a house of cedar?

7 No reira kia penei tau ki atu aianei ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Naku koe i tango i te nohoanga hipi, i te whai hipi, hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira:

And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheepfold, from following the flocks, to be a ruler over my people Israel:

8 A, i a koe ahau i ou haerenga katoa; hautopea atu ana e ahau ou hoariri katoa i tou aroaro; a meinga ana koe e ahau hei ingoa, hei pera ano me te ingoa o nga mea nunui o te whenua.

and I was with you in all places whither you went, and I destroyed all your enemies from before you, and I made for you a name according to the name of the great ones that are upon the earth.

9 Na maku e whakarite he wahi mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira; ka whakatokia ano ratou e ahau kia noho ki to ratou ake, e kore ano ratou e ngaueue a muri ake nei; e kore ano ratou e pehia ki raro i muri nei e nga tama a te kino; e kore e pera me to mua,

And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant him, and he shall dwell by himself, and shall no longer be anxious; and the son of iniquity shall no longer afflict him, as at the beginning,

10 Me to te wa ano i whakaritea ai e ahau nga kaiwhakarite mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira; a ka pehia e ahau ki raro ou hoariri katoa. Ko tetahi, e mea atu ana ahau ki a koe, ma Ihowa e hanga he whare mou.

and from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel. Also I have humbled all your enemies, and I will increase you, and the Lord will build you a house.

11 A ka tutuki ou ra, ka haere koe ki ou matua, na ka whakaarahia e ahau tou uri i muri i a koe i roto i au tama, ka whakapumautia ano e ahau tona kingitanga.

And it shall come to pass when your days shall be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

12 Mana e hanga he whare moku, a ka whakapumautia e ahau tona torona a ake ake.

He shall build me a house, and I will set up his throne for ever.

13 Ko ahau hei matua ki a ia, ko ia hei tama ki ahau, e kore ano e mutu toku aroha ki a ia, e kore e pera me toku i mutu ki tera i mua atu na i a koe.

I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and my mercy will I not withdraw from him, as I withdrew [it] from them that were before you.

14 A ka tuturu ia ki toku whare, ki toku kingitanga a ake ake: a ka mau tonu tona torona mo ake tonu atu.

And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be set up for ever.

15 Rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa, ki tenei putanga katoa, nga kupu a Natana ki a Rawiri.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.

16 Na ka haere a Kingi Rawiri, ka noho ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka mea ia, Ko wai ahau, e Ihowa, e te Atua, he aha hoki toku whare, i kawea mai ai ahau e koe ki konei?

And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what [is] my house, that you have loved me for ever?

17 He mea iti ano tenei ki tau titiro, e te Atua; kua korerotia nei hoki e koe te whare o tau pononga a tau tini noa atu, a kua titiro mai hoki koe ki ahau, ano ki te tangata nui rawa, e Ihowa, e te Atua.

And these things were little in your sight, O God: you have also spoken concerning the house of your servant for a long time to come, and you have looked upon me as a man looks upon his fellow, and have exalted me, O Lord God.

18 Ko te aha ake hei korerotanga ma Rawiri ki a koe mo te whakahonore i tau pononga? e mohio ana hoki koe ki tau pononga.

What shall David do more towards you to glorify [you]? and you know your servant.

19 He whakaaro ki tau pononga, e Ihowa, rite tonu ano ki ta tou ngakau, i mea ai koe i enei mea nunui katoa, i whakaritea mai ai enei mea nunui katoa.

And you have wrought all this greatness according to your heart.

20 Kahore he rite mou, e Ihowa, kahore atu hoki he atua, ko koe anake; rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i rongo ai o matou taringa.

O Lord, there is none like you, and there is no God beside you, according to all things which we have heard with our ears.

21 Ko tehea iwi hoki o te whenua hei rite mo tau iwi, mo Iharaira, i haere nei te Atua ki te hoki hei iwi mana ake, hei mea ingoa mou, ki nga hanga nunui, whakamataku hoki, i te peinga atu i nga tauiwi i te aroaro o tau iwi i hokona nei e koe i Ihi pa?

Neither is there another nation upon the earth [such] as your people Israel, whereas God led him in the way, to redeem a people for himself, to make for himself a great and glorious name, to cast out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt.

22 Kua meinga nei hoki e koe tau iwi, a Iharaira, hei iwi mau a ake ake: me koe hoki, e Ihowa hei Atua mo ratou.

And you have appointed your people Israel as a people to yourself for ever; and you, Lord, did become a God to them.

23 Na whakamana aianei, e Ihowa, te kupu i korerotia e koe mo tau pononga, mo tona whare hoki ake ake, meatia hoki tau i korero ai.

And now, Lord, let the word which you spoke to your servant, and concerning his house, be confirmed for ever, and do you as you have spoken.

24 Kia mana ano, kia whakanuia hoki tou ingoa a ake ake, kia korerotia ai, Ko Ihowa o nga mano te Atua o Iharaira, hei Atua ano ki a Iharaira; a ka tuturu tonu te whare o tau pononga, o Rawiri, ki tou aroaro.

And let your name [be] established and magnified for ever, [men] saying, Lord, Lord, Almighty God of Israel: and [let] the house of your servant David [be] established before you.

25 Nau nei hoki, e toku Atua, i whakapuaki mai ki tau pononga, ka hanga e koe he whare mona: koia te ngakau o tau pononga i anga ai ki te inoi ki tou aroaro.

For you, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build him a house; therefore your servant has found a willingness to pray before you.

26 Na ko koe, e Ihowa, te Atua, a kua korerotia e koe tenei mea pai ki tau pononga:

And now, Lord, you yourself are God, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant.

27 A kua pai tenei koe ki te manaaki i te whare o tau pononga, kia pumau tonu ai ki tou aroaro: ko koe hoki hei manaaki, e Ihowa, a ka manaakitia ake ake.

And now you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it should continue for ever before you: for you, Lord, have blessed [it], and do you bless [it] for ever.
