2 Samueri 7

1 Zvino mambo akati agara mumuzinda wake uye Jehovha amupa zororo kubva kuvavengi vake vose vakanga vakamupoteredza,

Afterwarde when the King sate in his house and the Lord had giuen him rest rounde about from all his enemies,

2 akati kuna Natani muprofita, “Tarira ndiri pano ndigere mumuzinda wakavakwa nemisidhari, asi areka yaMwari igere mutende.”

The King saide vnto Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, nowe I dwel in an house of cedar trees, and the Arke of God remayneth within the curtaines.

3 Natani akapindura mambo akati, “Endai mberi muite zvose zvamunazvo mupfungwa dzenyu, nokuti Jehovha anemi.”

Then Nathan sayde vnto the King, Go, and doe all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.

4 Usiku ihwohwo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Natani, richiti:

And the same night the worde of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying,

5 “Enda undoudza muranda wangu Dhavhidhi kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Ndiwe here ungandivakira imba yandingagara?

Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord, Shalt thou buylde me an house for my dwelling?

6 Ini handina kumbogara mumba kubva zuva randabudisa vaIsraeri muIjipiti kusvikira nhasi. Ndanga ndichifamba munzvimbo nenzvimbo ndichigara mutende.

For I haue dwelt in no house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt vnto this day, but haue walked in a tent and tabernacle.

7 Pose pandaifamba navaIsraeri vose, ndakamboti here kuno mumwe wavatongi vavo vandakarayira kuti vafudze vanhu vangu vaIsraeri, “Makaregerei kundivakira imba yemisidhari?”’

In al the places wherein I haue walked with all the children of Israel, spake I one worde with any of the tribes of Israel when I commanded the iudges to feede my people Israel? or sayde I, Why build ye not me an house of cedar trees?

8 “Naizvozvo zvino, udza muranda wangu Dhavhidhi kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: Ndakakutora kubva kumafuro kwawaifudza makwai kuti uve mutongi wavanhu vangu vaIsraeri.

Nowe therefore so say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord of hostes, I tooke thee from the sheepecote following the sheepe, that thou mightest bee ruler ouer my people, ouer Israel.

9 Ndakava newe kwose kwawakaenda, uye ndakaparadza vavengi vako vose ndikavabvisa pamberi pako. Zvino zita rako ndichariita guru, richafanana namazita avakuru vari panyika.

And I was with thee wheresoeuer thou hast walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and haue made thee a great name, like vnto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

10 Uye ndichapa vanhu vangu vaIsraeri nzvimbo uye ndichavasima kuti vave nomusha wavo pachavo kuti vasazokanganiswazve. Vanhu vakaipa havachazovamanikidzazve, sezvavakaita pakutanga

(Also I will appoynt a place for my people Israel, and will plant it, that they may dwell in a place of their owne, and moue no more, neither shall wicked people trouble them any more as before time,

11 nezvavakaita kubva panguva yandakagadza vatungamiri vavanhu vangu vaIsraeri. Ndichakuzorodzai kubva kuvavengi venyu vose. “‘Jehovha anoti kwauri Jehovha pachake achakumisira imba:

And since the time that I set Iudges ouer my people of Israel) and I will giue thee rest from al thine enemies: also the Lord telleth thee, that he will make thee an house.

12 Zvino kana mazuva ako akwana uye wazorora namadzibaba ako, ndichamutsa mwana wako kuti atore ushe hwako, achabuda mauri, uye ndichasimbisa ushe hwake.

And when thy daies bee fulfilled, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and I wil set vp thy seede after thee, which shall proceede out of thy body, and will stablish his kingdome.

13 Iye ndiye achavakira Zita rangu imba, uye ndichasimbisa chigaro choushe hwake nokusingaperi.

He shall buyld an house for my Name, and I will stablish ye throne of his kingdome for euer.

14 Ini ndichava baba vake, iye achava mwana wangu. Kana akakanganisa, ini ndichamuranga neshamhu yavanhu, uye nokurangwa kunoitwa navanhu.

I will be his father, and hee shall bee my sonne: and if he sinne, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of men.

15 Asi rudo rwangu haruzombobva paari, sokubvisa kwandakaruita pana Sauro, uyo wandakabvisa pamberi pako.

But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I tooke it from Saul whome I haue put away before thee.

16 Imba yako noumambo hwako zvichagara pamberi pangu nokusingaperi; chigaro chako choushe chichasimbiswa nokusingaperi.’”

And thine house shall be stablished and thy kingdome for euer before thee, euen thy throne shalbe stablished for euer.

17 Natani akazivisa Dhavhidhi mashoko ose ezvaakanga aratidzwa.

According to all these wordes, and according to all this vision, Nathan spake thus vnto Dauid.

18 Zvino Mambo Dhavhidhi akapinda akandogara pamberi paJehovha, akati: “Ko, ini ndini aniko zvangu, nhai Ishe Jehovha, uye mhuri yangu chiiko, zvamandisvitsa pano?

Then King Dauid went in, and sate before the Lord, and sayde, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19 Uyezve sezvinonzi izvi hazvina kukwana pamberi penyu, nhai Ishe Jehovha, mataurazve nezveramangwana reimba yomuranda wenyu. Nhai Ishe Jehovha Mwari, izvi ndizvo zvamunogara muchiitira vanhu here?

And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God, therefore thou hast spoken also of thy seruants house for a great while: but doth this appertaine to man, O Lord God?

20 “Ko, Dhavhidhi angareveizve kwamuri? Nokuti munoziva muranda wenyu, Ishe Jehovha.

And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy seruant.

21 Nokuda kweshoko renyu uye maererano nokuda kwenyu, maita chinhu ichi chikuru uye machizivisa kumuranda wenyu.

For thy words sake, and according to thine owne heart hast thou done all these great things, to make them knowen vnto thy seruant.

22 “Haiwa muri mukuru, imi Ishe Jehovha! Hakuna mumwe akafanana nemi, uye hakuna mumwe Mwari kunze kwenyu, sezvatakanzwa nenzeve dzedu.

Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that wee haue heard with our eares.

23 Uye ndorupi rumwe rudzi rwakaita savanhu venyu vaIsraeri, irwo rudzi panyika rwakadzikinurwa naMwari kuti vave vanhu vake, uye kuti azviitire zita, uye kuti aite zvinhu zvikuru zvinoshamisa nokudzinga marudzi navamwari vawo pamberi pavanhu venyu, vamakadzikinura kubva muIjipiti?

And what one people in the earth is like thy people, like Israel? whose God went and redeemed them to himselfe, that they might be his people, and that hee might make him a name, and do for you great things, and terrible for thy land, O Lord, euen for thy people, whome thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, from the nations, and their gods?

24 Makasimbisa vanhu venyu vaIsraeri kuti vave venyu nokusingaperi, uye imi, Jehovha, mava Mwari wavo.

For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God.

25 “Naizvozvo zvino, Jehovha Mwari, simbisai nokusingaperi shoko renyu ramakataura pamusoro pomuranda wenyu neimba yake. Itai sezvamakavimbisa,

Nowe therefore, O Lord God, confirme for euer the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and his house, and doe as thou hast sayde.

26 kuti zita renyu rikudzwe nokusingaperi. Zvino vanhu vachati, ‘Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiye Mwari weIsraeri!’ Zvino imba yomuranda wenyu Dhavhidhi ichasimbiswa pamberi penyu.

And let thy Name bee magnified for euer by them that shall say, The Lord of hostes is the God ouer Israel: and let the house of thy seruant Dauid be stablished before thee.

27 “Haiwa Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari weIsraeri, makaratidza izvi kumuranda wenyu, muchiti, ‘Ndichakuvakira imba.’ Naizvozvo muranda wenyu atsunga kunyengetera, munyengetero uyu.

For thou, O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, hast reueiled vnto thy seruant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy seruant bene bold to pray this prayer vnto thee.

28 Haiwa Ishe Jehovha, muri Mwari! Mashoko enyu ndeechokwadi, uye mavimbisa zvinhu zvakanaka kumuranda wenyu.

Therefore now, O Lord God, (for thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast tolde this goodnes vnto thy seruant)

29 Zvino ngazvikufadzei kuti muropafadze imba yomuranda wenyu, kuti irambe iri pamberi penyu nokusingaperi; nokuti imi Jehovha Mwari, mazvitaura, uye namaropafadzo enyu, imba yomuranda wenyu icharopafadzwa nokusingaperi.”

Therefore nowe let it please thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may continue for euer before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and let the house of thy seruant be blessed for euer, with thy blessing.
