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.
After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”
2 Naataan immoo deebisee Daawitiin, “Waaqni si wajjin jiraatii waan garaa keetti yaadde kam iyyuu godhi” jedhe.
And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 Halkan sana garuu dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Naataan dhufe:
But that night 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 My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.
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 from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.
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 My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built 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 then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler 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.
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.
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 provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning
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 have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.
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 when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
12 Kan mana naaf ijaaru isa; anis teessoo isaa bara baraan jabeessee nan dhaaba.
He will build a house for Me, 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 will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.
14 Ani mana koo fi mootummaa koo irratti bara baraan isa nan muuda; teessoon isaas bara baraan jabaatee ni dhaabata.’”
But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”
15 Naataanis dubbii mulʼata kanaa hunda Daawititti hime.
So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.
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 King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this 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 as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God, You have spoken about the future of the house of Your servant and have regarded me as a man of great distinction, O LORD God.
18 “Waan ati garbicha kee ulfeessiteef Daawit kana caalaa maal jechuu dandaʼa? Ati garbicha kee ni beektaatii.
What more can David say to You for so honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant,
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati sababii garbicha keetiitii fi akkuma fedhii keetiitti waan guddaa kana goote; akka waadaawwan gurguddaan kunneenis beekaman gooteerta.
O LORD. For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed all Your greatness.
20 “Yaa Waaqayyo, kan akka keetii tokko iyyuu hin jiru; akka nu gurruma keenyaan dhageenyetti si malee Waaqni biraa hin jiru.
O LORD, there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own 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 who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.
22 Ati saba kee Israaʼelin bara baraan kan ofii keetii goote; Yaa Waaqayyo, ati Waaqa isaanii taateerta.
For You have made Your people Israel Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become 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 LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,
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.
so that Your name will be established and magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.
25 “Yaa Waaqa ko, ati akka mana isaaf ijaartu garbicha keetti mulʼifteerta. Kanaafuu garbichi kee si kadhachuudhaaf ija jabina argateera.
For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found the courage to pray before You.
26 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati Waaqa! Ati waan gaarii kana garbicha keetiif waadaa galteerta.
And now, O LORD, You are God! And You have promised this goodness to Your 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.”
So now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
