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 comes to pass, when the king sat in his house, and YHWH has given rest to him all around, from all his enemies,
2 Naataan raajichaan, “Ani kunoo mana birbirsaan ijaarame keessan jiraadha; taabonni Waaqaa garuu dunkaana keessa jiraata” jedhe.
that the king says to Nathan the prophet, “Now see, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.”
3 Naataan immoo mootichaan, “Waaqayyo si wajjin jiraatii waan garaa keetti yaadde kam iyyuu godhi” jedhe.
And Nathan says to the king, “All that [is] in your heart—go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.”
4 Halkan sana garuu dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Naataan dhufe:
And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying,
5 “Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii garbicha koo Daawititti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Kan mana ani keessa jiraadhu naaf ijaaru siʼii?
“Go, and you have said to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH: Do you build for Me a house for My dwelling 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.
For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a dwelling place.
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?’
During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
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.
And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the pasture, from after the flock, to be leader 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 am with you wherever you have gone, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who [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;
and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and it is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it anymore, as in the beginning,
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;
even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to you from all your enemies, and YHWH has declared to you that YHWH makes a house for you.
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.
When your days are full, and you have lain with your fathers, then I have raised up your seed after you which goes out from your bowels, and have established his kingdom;
13 Kan maqaa kootiif mana ijaaru isa; anis teessoo mootummaa isaa bara baraan jabeessee nan dhaaba.
he builds a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom for all time.
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 am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealing perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
15 Jaalalli koo garuu akka jaalala ani Saaʼol isa ani fuula kee duraa balleesse sana irraa fudhadhe isa irraa hin fudhatamu.
and My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you,
16 Mannii fi mootummaan kee bara baraan fuula koo dura ni jiraata; teessoon kees bara baraan jabaatee ni dhaabata.’”
and your house and your kingdom [are] steadfast before you for all time, your throne is established for all time.”
17 Naataanis dubbii mulʼata kanaa hunda Daawititti hime.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to 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?
And King David comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, Lord YHWH? And what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
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 yet this [is] little in Your eyes, Lord YHWH, and You also speak concerning the house of Your servant far off; and this [is] the law of the man, Lord YHWH.
20 “Daawit kana caalaa maal jechuu dandaʼa? Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati garbicha kee ni beektaatii.
And what does David add more to speak to You? And You, You have known Your servant, Lord YHWH.
21 Ati sababii dubbii keetiitii fi akkuma fedhii keetiitti waan guddaa kana hojjettee akka garbichi kee beeku goote.
Because of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to cause Your servant to know [it].
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.
Therefore You have been great, YHWH God, for there is none like You, and there is no God except You, 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 who [is] as Your people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God has gone to redeem for a people for Himself, and to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself the greatness—even fearful things for Your land, at the presence of Your people, whom You have redeemed for Yourself out of Egypt—[among the] nations and their gods?
24 Ati saba kee Israaʼelin kan ofii keetii gootee bara baraan dhaabdeerta; yaa Waaqayyo ati Waaqa isaanii taateerta.
Indeed, You establish Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people for Yourself for all time, and You, YHWH, have been to them for 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, YHWH God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, establish for all time, and do as You have spoken.
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 Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You,
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 You, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered the ear of Your servant, saying, I build a house for you, therefore Your servant has found his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati Waaqa! Dubbiin kee amanamaa dha; atis waan gaarii kana garbicha keetiif waadaa galteerta.
And now, Lord YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and Your words are truth, and You speak this goodness to Your 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.”
and now, begin and bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time, for You, Lord YHWH, have spoken, and by Your blessing the house of Your servant is blessed for all time.”
