2 USamuyeli 7
1 Kwathi inkosi isihlala esigodlweni sayo uThixo eseyiphumuzile kuzozonke izitha zayo enhlangothini zonke,
Ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene no atenaseɛ wɔ nʼahemfie na Awurade ama asomdwoeɛ aba asase no so no,
2 yathi kuNathani umphrofethi, “Mina ngilapha, ngihlala esigodlweni semsedari, kodwa ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lilokhu lihlala ethenteni.”
Dawid frɛɛ nkɔmhyɛni Natan sɛ, “Hwɛ, mete ahemfie a wɔde ntweneduro asi mu, na Onyankopɔn Adaka no nso si ntomadan mu.”
3 UNathani waphendula inkosi wathi, “Loba kuyini okusengqondweni yakho, qhubeka ukwenze, ngoba uThixo ulawe.”
Na Natan buaa ɔhene no sɛ, “Biribiara a woadwene ho sɛ wobɛyɛ no, kɔ so na yɛ, na Awurade ka wo ho.”
4 Ngalobobusuku ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuNathani, lisithi:
Na anadwo no, Awurade asɛm baa Natan so sɛ,
5 “Hamba uyetshela inceku yami uDavida uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Nguwe yini omele ungakhele indlu yokuhlala kuyo?
“Kɔka kyerɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Wone obi a ɛsɛ sɛ wosi ɛdan ma me na metena mu anaa?
6 Mina angikaze ngihlale endlini kusukela ngosuku engabakhulula ngalo ama-Israyeli eGibhithe kuze kube lamuhla. Ngibe ngihamba ngisuka kwenye indawo ngisiya kwenye ithente liyindawo yami yokuhlala.
Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a mede Israelfoɔ firi Misraim baeɛ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no, mentenaa ɛdan mu da. Daa wɔtu mʼase firi beaeɛ kɔ beaeɛ.
7 Loba kungaphi engahamba khona labako-Israyeli bonke, ngake ngatsho yini komunye wababusi babo engangibalaye ukuthi beluse abantu bami u-Israyeli ngathi, “Kungani lingangakhelanga indlu yemisedari na?”’
Ɛberɛ biara a wɔtu mʼase a Israelman nyinaa ka me ho no, motee sɛ mebisaa wɔn sodifoɔ, wɔn a mehyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnhwɛ me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na momfaa ntweneduro nsii fie mmaa me da?”’
8 Ngakho-ke, tshela inceku yami uDavida uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla: Ngakuthatha emadlelweni ekweluseni izimvu, ukuba ube ngumbusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli.
“Afei, kɔka kyerɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade Otumfoɔ seɛ nie: Meyii wo firii mmoa adidibea ne nnwan akyidie mu, de wo bɛsii me nkurɔfoɔ Israel so ɔhene.
9 Ngibe lawe loba kungaphi lapho oya khona, njalo ngizinqobile zonke izitha zakho phambi kwakho. Khathesi ngizakwenza ibizo lakho libe likhulu, njengamabizo amadoda adumileyo asemhlabeni.
Na baabiara a wokɔ no, meka wo ho, na matwa wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa afiri wʼanim. Na mɛma wɔagye din wɔ asase yi nyinaa so.
10 Njalo ngizabanika indawo abantu bami u-Israyeli ngibagxumeke ukuze babe lekhaya elingelabo bangabe besakhathazwa futhi. Abantu ababi kabasayikubancindezela futhi njengalokhu abakwenza ekuqaliseni,
Na mapɛ tenaberɛ ama me nkurɔfoɔ Israel; beaeɛ bi a ɛwɔ banbɔ a obiara renha wɔn. Ɛhɔ bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa asase a aman amumuyɛfoɔ renhyɛ wɔn so, sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ wɔ ɛberɛ bi a atwam no,
11 bakwenza futhi kusukela ngesikhathi engamisela ngaso abantu bami u-Israyeli abakhokheli. Njalo ngizakuphumuza kuzozonke izitha zakho. UThixo wafunga kuwe ukuthi uThixo yena ngokwakhe uzakumisela indlu:
ɛfiri ɛberɛ a mepaa atemmufoɔ sɛ wɔnni me nkurɔfoɔ so no. Mɛsane ama mo banbɔ afiri mo atamfoɔ nyinaa nsam. “‘Na Awurade aka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ɔno Awurade na ɔbɛkyekyere efie ama wo; ahemfo ntoatoasoɔ efie.
12 Nxa insuku zakho seziphelile usuphumula labokhokho bakho, ngizakwenza inzalo yakho ithathe isikhundla sakho, ozaphuma emzimbeni wakho, ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakhe.
Na sɛ wo nna to twa a, mɛma wʼaseni a ɔfiri wʼasenem adi wʼadeɛ, na matim nʼahemman ase.
13 Lowo nguye ozakwakhela iBizo lami indlu, njalo ngizaqinisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakhe kuze kube nininini.
Ɔno ne obi a ɔbɛsi dan de me din ato so. Na matim nʼahemman mu ahennwa ase afebɔɔ.
14 Ngizakuba nguyise, yena abe yindodana yami. Angenza okubi ngizamjezisa ngomqwayi wabantu, ukuklebhula okwenziwa ngabantu.
Mɛyɛ nʼagya, na wayɛ me ba. Sɛ ɔyɛ bɔne a, mɛma aman bi atwe nʼaso.
15 Kodwa uthando lwami kaluyikususwa kuye lanini, njengokulususa kwami kuSawuli, engamsusayo phambi kwakho.
Nanso, merenyi me dɔ mfiri ne so da, sɛdeɛ meyi mefirii Saulo a meyii no firii wʼanim no so ansa na wobɛdii nʼadeɛ no.
16 Indlu yakho lombuso wakho kuzaqina nini lanini phambi kwami; isihlalo sakho sobukhosi sizakuma kuze kube nininini.’”
Wo fie ne wʼahemman bɛtim wɔ mʼanim afebɔɔ; na wʼahennwa bɛtena hɔ daa.’”
17 UNathani wambikela uDavida wonke amazwi alesisambulelo.
Natan kaa saa adiyisɛm yi nyinaa kyerɛɛ Dawid.
18 Ngakho inkosi uDavida wangena wahlala phambi kukaThixo wasesithi: “Ngingubani, awu Thixo Wobukhosi, bayini abendlu yami, ukuba ungifikise lapha na?
Na ɔhene Dawid kɔtenaa Awurade anim bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao, Awurade Otumfoɔ, mene hwan, na me fiefoɔ yɛ ɛdeɛn a wode me abɛduru ɛnnɛ?
19 Njalo sekungathi lokhu akwanelanga emehlweni akho, awu Thixo Wobukhosi, usukhulumile futhi ngesikhathi esizayo ngendlu yenceku yakho. Le yiyo yini indlela yakho ejayelekileyo yokuphatha abantu, awu Thixo Wobukhosi?
Na afei Otumfoɔ Awurade, yeinom nyinaa akyi no, woka sɛ wobɛma me ahennie a ɛte hɔ daa. Woyɛ nnipa nyinaa sei anaa, Ao Awurade Otumfoɔ?
20 Kambe kuyini okunye uDavida angakutsho kuwe? Ngoba wena uyayazi inceku yakho, awu Thixo Wobukhosi.
“Ɛdeɛbɛn bio na mɛtumi aka? Ɛfiri sɛ, wonim sɛdeɛ wʼakoa teɛ, Ao Awurade Otumfoɔ.
21 Ngoba ngenxa yelizwi lakho langentando yakho, uyenzile into le enkulu njalo wayenza yazakala encekwini yakho.
Wʼasɛm ne wo pɛ mu enti, woayɛ nneɛma kɛseɛ yi nyinaa akyerɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ.
22 Yeka ubukhulu bakho, awu Thixo Wobukhosi! Kakho ofanana lawe, njalo kakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho, njengoba sizizwele ngezindlebe zethu.
“Wo kɛseyɛ yɛ kokuroo, Ao Awurade Otumfoɔ! Obi biara nte sɛ wo, Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ sɛ wo, na yɛntee onyame foforɔ bi mpo ho asɛm!
23 Njalo ngubani ongafanana labantu bakho bako-Israyeli esiyiso sodwa isizwe emhlabeni uNkulunkulu ayazihlengela sona ukuba sibe ngabantu bakhe, lokuze azenzele udumo kanye lokwenza izimangaliso ezinkulu lezesabekayo ngokuxotsha izizwe labonkulunkulu bazo phambi kwabantu bakho owabahlenga eGibhithe na?
Ɔman bɛn na ɛwɔ asase yi so a ɛte sɛ Israel? Ɔman foforɔ bɛn na woayi no afiri nkoasom mu de wɔn ayɛ wo ɔman? Ɛberɛ a woyii wo nkurɔfoɔ firii Misraim no, wogyee edin. Woyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ akɛseɛ de pamoo aman ne ahoni ahodoɔ a na wɔyɛ akwansideɛ ma wo nkurɔfoɔ.
24 Ubeke abantu bakho u-Israyeli njengabantu bakho kuze kube nini lanini, njalo wena, Thixo, usunguNkulunkulu wabo.
Woatim wo nkurɔfoɔ Israel sɛ wʼankasa wʼadeɛ afebɔɔ, na wo Ao Awurade, woabɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
25 Khathesi-ke, Thixo Nkulunkulu, sigcine kuze kube phakade isithembiso osenzileyo mayelana lenceku yakho lendlu yayo. Yenza njengokuthembisa kwakho,
“Na afei, Awurade Onyankopɔn, di ɛbɔ a wohyɛ faa wʼakoa ne ne mʼabusuafoɔ ho no so. Ma ɛnyɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
26 ukuze ibizo lakho libe likhulu kuze kube nininini. Ngakho abantu bazakuthi, ‘UThixo uSomandla unguNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli!’ Lendlu yenceku yakho uDavida izamiswa phambi kwakho.
Na ma wo din nkron afebɔɔ na ewiase nyinaa nka sɛ, ‘Awurade Otumfoɔ yɛ Israel so Onyankopɔn.’ Na ma wo ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ahennie ase ntim wɔ wʼanim.
27 Awu Thixo Somandla, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ukuvezile lokhu encekwini yakho usithi, ‘Ngizakwakhela indlu.’ Ngakho inceku yakho ibe lesibindi sokukhuleka umkhuleko lo kuwe.
“Ao, Awurade Otumfoɔ, Israel Onyankopɔn, masi me bo abɔ saa mpaeɛ yi ɛfiri sɛ woakyerɛ sɛ wobɛkyekyere fie a ɛyɛ daa ahennie ama me.
28 Thixo Wobukhosi, unguNkulunkulu! Amazwi akho athembekile, njalo usuthembise lezizinto ezinhle encekwini yakho.
Ao, Awurade Otumfoɔ, woyɛ Onyankopɔn! Wo nsɛm mu wɔ ahotosoɔ, na woahyɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ nnepa ho bɔ.
29 Khathesi-ke ake uthokoziswe yikubusisa indlu yenceku yakho, ukuze ihlale isemehlweni akho kuze kube nininini; ngoba wena, awu Thixo Wobukhosi, usukhulumile, njalo ngokubusiswa nguwe indlu yenceku yakho izabusiseka kuze kube nininini.”
Afei, ma ɛnyɛ wo pɛ sɛ wobɛhyira wʼakoa fie so, na atoa so afebɔɔ wɔ wʼanim, na wo, Ao Awurade Otumfoɔ, woakasa, na wo nhyira a wode bɛhyira wo ɔsomfoɔ fie no bɛyɛ daapem nhyira.”
