1 Seenaa 17
1 Daawit erga masaraa isaa keessa jiraachuu jalqabee booddee Naataan raajichaan, “Ani kunoo mana birbirsaan ijaarame keessan jiraadha; taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo garuu dunkaana keessa jiraata” jedhe.
And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah dwells under curtains.
2 Naataan immoo deebisee Daawitiin, “Waaqni si wajjin jiraatii waan garaa keetti yaadde kam iyyuu godhi” jedhe.
And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart, for God is with thee.
3 Halkan sana garuu dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Naataan dhufe:
And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 “Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii garbicha koo Daawititti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Kan mana ani keessa jiraadhu naaf ijaaru siʼi miti.
Go and tell David my servant, Thus says Jehovah, Thou shall not build for me a house to dwell in.
5 Ani gaafan Israaʼelin Gibxii baasee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti mana keessa hin jiraanne. Ani dunkaana tokkoo irraa gara isa kaaniitti, iddoo bultii tokkoo irraa gara iddoo bultii isa kaaniitti darbaan ture.
For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6 Ani iddoon Israaʼeloota hunda wajjin naannaʼaa ture kamitti iyyuu hooggantoota akka isaan saba koo eeganiif ajaje keessaa nama tokkoon iyyuu, “Isin maaliif mana birbirsaa naaf hin ijaarre?” jedhee beekaa?’
In all places wherein I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have ye not built for me a house of cedar?
7 “Egaa amma akkana jedhii garbicha koo Daawititti himi; ‘Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: Ani akka ati bulchaa saba koo Israaʼel taatuuf, lafa tikaatii fi bushaayee faana deemuu keessaan si fudhadhe.
Now therefore thus thou shall say to my servant David, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, I took thee from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, that thou should be prince over my people Israel.
8 Ani lafa ati dhaqxe hundatti si wajjinin ture; diinota kee hundas fuula kee duraa balleesseera. Ammas ani maqaa kee akkuma maqaa namoota addunyaa irratti akka malee gurguddaa taʼanii nan godha.
And I have been with thee wherever thou have gone, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee. And I will make thee a name like the name of the great ones who are on the earth.
9 Ani akka isaan mana ofii isaanii qabaatanii fi akka isaan siʼachi hin raafamneef saba koo Israaʼeliif lafa kennee isaan nan dhaaba. Namoonni hamoon akka jalqabatti godhan sana deebiʼanii isaan hin cunqursan;
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. Neither shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,
10 akka yeroo ani saba koo Israaʼel irratti abbootii murtii muudee as godhan sana illee hin godhan; ani diinota kee hundas siifin garboomsa. “‘Ani akka Waaqayyo mana siif ijaaru sittin hima:
and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will subdue all thine enemies. Moreover I tell thee that Jehovah will build for thee a house.
11 Yommuu barri jireenya keetii dhumee ati abbootii keetti dabalamuuf dhaqxutti ani akka inni iddoo kee buʼuuf sanyii kee keessaa, ilmaan kee keessaa tokko nan kaasa; mootummaa isaa illee jabeessee nan dhaaba.
And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons. And I will establish his kingdom.
12 Kan mana naaf ijaaru isa; anis teessoo isaa bara baraan jabeessee nan dhaaba.
He shall build for me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
13 Ani isaaf abbaa nan taʼa; innis ilma naa taʼa. Ani akka namicha si dura ture sana irraa fudhadhe, jaalala koo gonkumaa isa irraa hin fudhadhu.
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. And I will not take my loving kindness away from him as I took it from him who was before thee.
14 Ani mana koo fi mootummaa koo irratti bara baraan isa nan muuda; teessoon isaas bara baraan jabaatee ni dhaabata.’”
But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.
15 Naataanis dubbii mulʼata kanaa hunda Daawititti hime.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
16 Ergasii Daawit mootichi ol seenee fuula Waaqayyoo dura taaʼee akkana jedhe: “Yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi, kan ati asiin na geesse, ani eenyu? Maatiin koos maali?
Then David the king went in, and sat before Jehovah. And he said, Who am I, O Jehovah God, and what is my house, that thou have brought me thus far?
17 Yaa Waaqi, ati akka waan wanni kun fuula kee duratti quubsaa hin taʼiniitti ilaaltee waaʼee mana garbicha keetii kan fuul duraa illee dubbatte. Yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi, ati akka waan ani nama hunda caalaa kabajamaa taʼeetti na ilaalte.
And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God. But thou have spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Jehovah God.
18 “Waan ati garbicha kee ulfeessiteef Daawit kana caalaa maal jechuu dandaʼa? Ati garbicha kee ni beektaatii.
What can David say yet more to thee concerning the honor which is done to thy servant? For thou know thy servant.
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati sababii garbicha keetiitii fi akkuma fedhii keetiitti waan guddaa kana goote; akka waadaawwan gurguddaan kunneenis beekaman gooteerta.
O Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, thou have wrought all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
20 “Yaa Waaqayyo, kan akka keetii tokko iyyuu hin jiru; akka nu gurruma keenyaan dhageenyetti si malee Waaqni biraa hin jiru.
O Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 Sabni akka saba kee Israaʼel kan Waaqni saba lafa irra jiraatu keessaa saba tokkicha ofii isaatiif furachuu fi ofii keetiitiifis maqaa tolfachuuf jettee fuula saba keetii duraa saboota ariʼuudhaan dinqiiwwan gurguddaa fi sodaachisaa hojjechuudhaaf baʼe, kan ati Gibxii baafte sanaa tokko iyyuu jiraa?
And what one nation on the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make thee a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before thy people whom thou redeemed out of Egypt?
22 Ati saba kee Israaʼelin bara baraan kan ofii keetii goote; Yaa Waaqayyo, ati Waaqa isaanii taateerta.
For thy people Israel thou made thine own people forever. And thou, Jehovah, became their God.
23 “Ammas yaa Waaqayyo, waadaan ati garbicha keetii fi mana isaatiif galte sun bara baraan jabaatee haa dhaabatu. Ati akkuma waadaa galte sana raawwadhu;
And now, O Jehovah, let the word that thou have spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as thou have spoken.
24 kunis akka maqaan kee jabaatee dhaabatee, bara baraanis guddaa taʼuuf. Kana irratti namoonni, ‘Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Israaʼel irratti Waaqa; inni Waaqa Israaʼel!’ ni jedhu. Manni garbicha kee Daawitis fuula kee duratti jabaatee ni dhaabata.
And let thy name be established and magnified forever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel, and the house of David thy servant is established before thee.
25 “Yaa Waaqa ko, ati akka mana isaaf ijaartu garbicha keetti mulʼifteerta. Kanaafuu garbichi kee si kadhachuudhaaf ija jabina argateera.
For thou, O my God, have revealed to thy servant that thou will build him a house. Therefore thy servant has found in his heart to pray before thee.
26 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati Waaqa! Ati waan gaarii kana garbicha keetiif waadaa galteerta.
And now, O Jehovah, thou are God, and have promised this good thing to thy servant,
27 Akka manni isaa bara baraan jabaattee fuula kee dura dhaabatuuf ammas mana garbicha keetii eebbisuun fedhii kee taʼeera; yaa Waaqayyo sababii ati isa eebbifteef, inni bara baraan ni eebbifama.”
and now it has pleased thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Jehovah, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.
