2 Hamuera 7
1 A, i te kingi e noho ana i tona whare, a ka meinga ia e Ihowa kia okioki i ona hoariri katoa a tawhio noa,
And it comes to pass, when the king sat in his house, and YHWH has given rest to him all around, from all his enemies,
2 Na ka mea te kingi ki a Natana poropiti, Na, titiro, kei te noho nei ahau i te whare hita, ko te aaka ia a te Atua e noho ana i roto i te kakahu.
that the king says to Nathan the prophet, “Now see, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.”
3 Na ka mea a Natana ki te kingi, Haere, meatia nga mea katoa i tou ngakau; kei a koe hoki a Ihowa.
And Nathan says to the king, “All that [is] in your heart—go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.”
4 Na i taua po ano ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Natana, ka mea,
And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying,
5 Haere, mea atu ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Mau koia e hanga he whare hei nohoanga moku?
“Go, and you have said to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH: Do you build for Me a house for My dwelling in?
6 Kahore nei hoki ahau i noho whare no te ra ano i kawea mai ai e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa a taea noatia tenei ra; he noho haere ia toku i roto i te teneti, i te tapenakara.
For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a dwelling place.
7 I oku haereerenga katoa i roto i nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, i puaki ranei tetahi kupu aku ki tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira i whakaritea e ahau hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, i mea ranei ahau, He aha koutou te hanga ai i tetahi whare hita moku?
During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
8 Na, tena kia penei tau ki aianei ki taku pononga ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Naku koe i tango mai i te nohoanga hipi, i te whai hipi, hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.
And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the pasture, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;
9 I a koe ano ahau i ou haerenga katoa, hautopea atu ana e ahau ou hoariri katoa i tou aroaro, a meinga ana koe e ahau hei ingoa nui, hei pera ano me te ingoa o nga mea nunui o te whenua.
and I am with you wherever you have gone, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth,
10 Na maku e whakarite he wahi mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, a ka whakatokia ratou e ahau kia noho ki to ratou ake wahi, kia kore e nekehia a muri ake nei; kia mutu ai te tukino a nga tamariki a te kino i a ratou, kei pera me to mua,
and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and it is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it anymore, as in the beginning,
11 Me to te wa i whakaritea ai e ahau he kaiwhakarite mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, i meinga ai hoki koe kia okioki i ou hoariri katoa. Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei ki a koe, Ma Ihowa e hanga he whare mou.
even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to you from all your enemies, and YHWH has declared to you that YHWH makes a house for you.
12 A ka tutuki ou ra, a ka moe ki ou matua, a ka whakaarahia e ahau i muri i a koe tou whanau e puta mai i roto i ou whekau, a ka whakapumautia tona kingitanga.
When your days are full, and you have lain with your fathers, then I have raised up your seed after you which goes out from your bowels, and have established his kingdom;
13 Nana e hanga he whare mo toku ingoa, a ka whakapumautia e ahau te torona o tona kingitanga a ake ake.
he builds a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom for all time.
14 Ko ahau hei matua ki a ia, ko ia hei tama ki ahau. Ki te ngau ke tana mahi, ka whiu ahau i a ia ki te whiu a te tangata, ki nga whakapanga a nga tama a te tangata.
I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealing perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
15 E kore ia e mutu toku aroha ki a ia, e kore e pera me toku ki a Haora i peia atu na e ahau i tou aroaro.
and My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you,
16 Ka tuturu tonu hoki tou whare me tou kingitanga a ake ake, ki tou aroaro: ka mau tonu tou torona a ake ake.
and your house and your kingdom [are] steadfast before you for all time, your throne is established for all time.”
17 Rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa, ki tenei kitenga katoa, nga kupu a Natana ki a Rawiri.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
18 Katahi a Kingi Rawiri ka haere, a noho ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Ko wai ahau, e te Ariki, e Ihowa? he aha hoki toku whare, i kawea mai ai ahau e koe a mohoa noa nei?
And King David comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, Lord YHWH? And what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
19 He mea iti ano tenei ki tau titiro, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, na kua korerotia nei e koe te whare o tau pononga mo nga tau e maha. Ko ta te tangata tikanga ranei tenei, e te Ariki, e Ihowa?
And yet this [is] little in Your eyes, Lord YHWH, and You also speak concerning the house of Your servant far off; and this [is] the law of the man, Lord YHWH.
20 Na ko te aha ake hei korerotanga ma Rawiri ki a koe? e mohio ana hoki koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki tau pononga.
And what does David add more to speak to You? And You, You have known Your servant, Lord YHWH.
21 He whakaaro ki tau kupu, na tou ngakau ano, i mea ai koe i enei mea nunui katoa, kia mohio ai tau pononga.
Because of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to cause Your servant to know [it].
22 Na he nui koe, e Ihowa, e te Atua: kahore hoki he rite mou, kahore atu hoki he Atua; ko koe anake: e rite ana ki nga mea katoa i rongo ai o matou taringa.
Therefore You have been great, YHWH God, for there is none like You, and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Ko tehea iwi kotahi hoki o te whenua hei rite mo tau iwi, ara mo Iharaira, i haere nei te Atua ki te hoki hei iwi mana ake, hei mea ingoa mona, ki te mahi ano i nga mea nunui mou, i nga mea whakamataku hoki mo tou whenua, i te aroaro o tau iwi i hokona nei e koe mau i Ihipa, i nga tauiwi, i o ratou atua ano hoki?
And who [is] as Your people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God has gone to redeem for a people for Himself, and to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself the greatness—even fearful things for Your land, at the presence of Your people, whom You have redeemed for Yourself out of Egypt—[among the] nations and their gods?
24 Kua whakapumautia nei hoki e koe mau tau iwi, a Iharaira, hei iwi mau a ake ake: a ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, hei Atua mo ratou.
Indeed, You establish Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people for Yourself for all time, and You, YHWH, have been to them for God.
25 Na whakamana hoki aianei, e Ihowa, e te Atua, te kupu i korerotia e koe mo tau pononga ratou ko tona whare a ake ake, meatia ano tau i korero ai.
And now, YHWH God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, establish for all time, and do as You have spoken.
26 Kia whakanuia ano tou ingoa a ake ake, kia korerotia, Ko Ihowa o nga mano te Atua o Iharaira. Kia tuturu tonu ano te whare o tau pononga, o Rawiri, ki tou aroaro.
And Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You,
27 Nau nei hoki, e Ihowa o nga mano, e te Atua o Iharaira, i whakapuaki mai ki tau pononga, i mea, Ka hanga e ahau he whare mou: koia te ngakau o tau pononga i anga ai ki te inoi i tenei inoi ki a koe.
for You, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered the ear of Your servant, saying, I build a house for you, therefore Your servant has found his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 Na, ko koe hoki, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, taua Atua nei, he pono hoki au kupu, a kua korerotia e koe tenei mea pai ki tau pononga.
And now, Lord YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and Your words are truth, and You speak this goodness to Your servant,
29 Na reira kia pai koe ki te manaaki i te whare o tau pononga, kia pumau tonu ai ki tou aroaro: nau hoki e Ihowa, e te Atua, te kupu: a hei tau manaaki te manaaki mo te whare o tau pononga a ake ake.
and now, begin and bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time, for You, Lord YHWH, have spoken, and by Your blessing the house of Your servant is blessed for all time.”
