2 Saamuʼeel 7
1 Mootichi erga masaraa isaa keessa jiraachuu jalqabee Waaqayyo diinota isaa kanneen naannoo isaa jiran hunda jalaa isa boqochiisee booddee,
And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
2 Naataan raajichaan, “Ani kunoo mana birbirsaan ijaarame keessan jiraadha; taabonni Waaqaa garuu dunkaana keessa jiraata” jedhe.
That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
3 Naataan immoo mootichaan, “Waaqayyo si wajjin jiraatii waan garaa keetti yaadde kam iyyuu godhi” jedhe.
And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that [is] in thine heart; for the LORD [is] with thee.
4 Halkan sana garuu dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Naataan dhufe:
And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,
5 “Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii garbicha koo Daawititti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Kan mana ani keessa jiraadhu naaf ijaaru siʼii?
Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
6 Ani gaafan Israaʼeloota Gibxii baasee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti mana keessa hin jiraanne. Ani iddoo jireenya koo dunkaana godhadhee iddoo tokkoo gara iddoo biraa naannaʼaan ture.
Whereas I have not dwelt in [any] house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 Ani iddoon Israaʼeloota hunda wajjin naannaʼaa ture kamitti iyyuu bulchitoota akka isaan saba koo Israaʼelin eeganiif ajaje keessaa nama tokkoon iyyuu, “Isin maaliif mana birbirsaa naaf hin ijaarre?” jedhee beekaa?’
In all [the places] wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
8 “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 so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
9 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 guddaa nan godha.
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great [men] that [are] in the earth.
10 Ani akka isaan mana ofii isaanii qabaatanii fi siʼachi hin raafamneef saba koo Israaʼeliif lafa kennee isaan nan dhaaba. Namoonni hamoon akka jalqabatti godhan sana deebiʼanii isaan hin cunqursan;
Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11 isaan siʼachi waan gaafa ani saba koo Israaʼel irratti abbootii murtii muudee as godhan sana illee hin godhan. Ani diinota kee hunda jalaas sin boqochiisa. “‘Akka Waaqayyo mataan isaa mana siif ijaaru Waaqayyo sittin hima;
And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
12 yommuu barri jireenya keetii dhumee ati abbootii kee wajjin boqottutti ani akka inni iddoo kee buʼuuf sanyii kee kan gudeeda keetii baʼu nan kaasa; mootummaa isaa illee jabeessee nan dhaaba.
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Kan maqaa kootiif mana ijaaru isa; anis teessoo mootummaa isaa bara baraan jabeessee nan dhaaba.
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14 Ani isaaf abbaa nan taʼa; innis ilma naa taʼa. Yommuu inni balleessaa hojjetuttis ulee namootaatiin isa nan adaba; alangee ilmaan namaa ittiin garafamaniinis nan garafa.
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
15 Jaalalli koo garuu akka jaalala ani Saaʼol isa ani fuula kee duraa balleesse sana irraa fudhadhe isa irraa hin fudhatamu.
But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took [it] from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16 Mannii fi mootummaan kee bara baraan fuula koo dura ni jiraata; teessoon kees bara baraan jabaatee ni dhaabata.’”
And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17 Naataanis dubbii mulʼata kanaa hunda Daawititti hime.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18 Ergasii Daawit mootichi ol seenee fuula Waaqayyoo dura taaʼee akkana jedhe: “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, kan ati asiin na geesse ani eenyu? Maatiin koos maali?
Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who [am] I, O Lord GOD? and what [is] my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, akka waan wanni kun fuula kee duratti gaʼaa hin taʼiniitti ati waaʼee mana garbicha keetii kan fuul duratti taʼus dubbatte. Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, edaa walitti dhufeenyi ati namoota wajjin qabdu kanaa?
And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And [is] this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
20 “Daawit kana caalaa maal jechuu dandaʼa? Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati garbicha kee ni beektaatii.
And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.
21 Ati sababii dubbii keetiitii fi akkuma fedhii keetiitti waan guddaa kana hojjettee akka garbichi kee beeku goote.
For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know [them].
22 “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati akkam guddaa dha! Kan akka keetii tokko iyyuu hin jiru; akka nu gurruma keenyaan dhageenyetti si malee Waaqni biraa hin jiru.
Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Sabni akka saba kee Israaʼel, kan Waaqni akka inni saba isaa taʼuuf maqaa ofii isaa dhaabbachuuf jedhee isa furuuf saboota ormaatii fi waaqota isaanii illee fuula isaa duraa ariʼuudhaan dinqiiwwan gurguddaa fi sodaachisaa argisiisuudhaan baʼee biyya Gibxii furee baase kan biraa lafa irraa kamii dha?
And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people, [even] like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?
24 Ati saba kee Israaʼelin kan ofii keetii gootee bara baraan dhaabdeerta; yaa Waaqayyo ati Waaqa isaanii taateerta.
For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel [to be] a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.
25 “Ammas yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi, ati waadaa garbicha keetii fi mana isaatiif galte sana bara baraan eegi. Kanas akkuma waadaa galte sana raawwadhu;
And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish [it] for ever, and do as thou hast said.
26 kunis akka maqaan kee bara baraan guddaa taʼuuf. Kana irratti namoonni, ‘Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Israaʼel irratti Waaqa!’ ni jedhu. Manni garbicha kee Daawitis fuula kee duratti jabaatee ni dhaabata.
And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27 “Yaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, Waaqa Israaʼel ati, ‘Ani mana siif nan ijaara’ jettee garbicha keetti waan kana mulʼifteerta; kanaafuu garbichi kee kadhannaa kana sitti dhiʼeessuuf ija jabina argateera.
For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
28 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati Waaqa! Dubbiin kee amanamaa dha; atis waan gaarii kana garbicha keetiif waadaa galteerta.
And now, O Lord GOD, thou [art] that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
29 Akka manni isaa bara baraan jabaattee fuula kee dura dhaabatuuf ammas mana garbicha keetii eebbisuun fedhii kee haa taʼu; yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati dubbatteertaatii; eebba keetiinis manni garbicha keetii bara baraan ni eebbifama.”
Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken [it: ] and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
