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 as David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah 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 that 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 say to David my servant, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not build 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 I have been 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 my going about with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?
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.
And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to 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 whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name, like unto the name of the great men that 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 a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as formerly,
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 since the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will subdue all thine enemies; and I tell thee that Jehovah will build 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, which 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.
It is he who shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
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 away my mercy from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;
14 Ani mana koo fi mootummaa koo irratti bara baraan isa nan muuda; teessoon isaas bara baraan jabaatee ni dhaabata.’”
and I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.
15 Naataanis dubbii mulʼata kanaa hunda Daawititti hime.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak 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?
And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
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 hath been a small thing in thy sight, O God; and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim.
18 “Waan ati garbicha kee ulfeessiteef Daawit kana caalaa maal jechuu dandaʼa? Ati garbicha kee ni beektaatii.
What can David [say] more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant.
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati sababii garbicha keetiitii fi akkuma fedhii keetiitti waan guddaa kana goote; akka waadaawwan gurguddaan kunneenis beekaman gooteerta.
Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done 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.
Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside 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 who is like thy people Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
22 Ati saba kee Israaʼelin bara baraan kan ofii keetii goote; Yaa Waaqayyo, ati Waaqa isaanii taateerta.
And thy people Israel hast thou made thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art 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, Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
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.
Let it even be established, and let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, is God to Israel; and let the house of David thy servant be 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, my God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath thy servant found [in his heart] to pray before thee.
26 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati Waaqa! Ati waan gaarii kana garbicha keetiif waadaa galteerta.
And now, Jehovah, thou art that God, and hast promised this goodness unto 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, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Jehovah, hast blessed [it], and it shall be blessed for ever.
