2 Samuel 7
1 Ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ ɔhene no atenaseɛ wɔ nʼahemfie na Awurade ama asomdwoeɛ aba asase no so no,
Forsothe it was doon, whanne the kyng Dauid hadde sete in his hows, and the Lord hadde youe reste to hym on ech side fro alle hise enemyes,
2 Dawid frɛɛ nkɔmhyɛni Natan sɛ, “Hwɛ, mete ahemfie a wɔde ntweneduro asi mu, na Onyankopɔn Adaka no nso si ntomadan mu.”
he seyde to Nathan the prophete, Seest thou not, that Y dwelle in an hows of cedre, and the arke of God is put in the myddis of skynnys?
3 Na Natan buaa ɔhene no sɛ, “Biribiara a woadwene ho sɛ wobɛyɛ no, kɔ so na yɛ, na Awurade ka wo ho.”
And Nathan seide to the kyng, Go thou, and do al thing which is in thin herte, for the Lord is with thee.
4 Na anadwo no, Awurade asɛm baa Natan so sɛ,
Forsothe it was don in that niyt, and lo! the word of the Lord, seiynge to Nathan, Go thou,
5 “Kɔka kyerɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Wone obi a ɛsɛ sɛ wosi ɛdan ma me na metena mu anaa?
and speke to my servaunt Dauid, The Lord seith these thingis, Whether thou schalt bilde to me an hows to dwelle ynne?
6 Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a mede Israelfoɔ firi Misraim baeɛ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no, mentenaa ɛdan mu da. Daa wɔtu mʼase firi beaeɛ kɔ beaeɛ.
For Y `dwellide not in an hows fro the dai in which Y ledde the sones of Israel out of the lond of Egipt til in to this dai; but Y yede in tabernacle and in tent,
7 Ɛberɛ biara a wɔtu mʼase a Israelman nyinaa ka me ho no, motee sɛ mebisaa wɔn sodifoɔ, wɔn a mehyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnhwɛ me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na momfaa ntweneduro nsii fie mmaa me da?”’
bi alle places, to whiche Y passyde with alle the sones of Israel? Whether Y spekynge spak to oon of the lynagis of Israel, to whom Y comaundyde, that he schulde feede my puple Israel, and seide, Whi `bildidist thou not an hows of cedre to me?
8 “Afei, kɔka kyerɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade Otumfoɔ seɛ nie: Meyii wo firii mmoa adidibea ne nnwan akyidie mu, de wo bɛsii me nkurɔfoɔ Israel so ɔhene.
And now thou schalt seie these thingis to my seruaunt Dauid, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Y took thee fro lesewis suynge flockis, that thou schuldist be duyk on my puple Israel, and Y was with thee in alle thingis,
9 Na baabiara a wokɔ no, meka wo ho, na matwa wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa afiri wʼanim. Na mɛma wɔagye din wɔ asase yi nyinaa so.
where euere thou yedist, and Y killide alle thin enemyes fro thi face, and Y made to thee a greet name bi the name of grete men that ben in erthe;
10 Na mapɛ tenaberɛ ama me nkurɔfoɔ Israel; beaeɛ bi a ɛwɔ banbɔ a obiara renha wɔn. Ɛhɔ bɛyɛ wɔn ankasa asase a aman amumuyɛfoɔ renhyɛ wɔn so, sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ wɔ ɛberɛ bi a atwam no,
and Y schall sette a place to my puple Israel, and Y schal plaunte hym, and Y schal dwelle with hym, and he schal no more be troblid, and the sones of wickidnesse schulen not adde, that thei turmente hym as bifor,
11 ɛfiri ɛberɛ a mepaa atemmufoɔ sɛ wɔnni me nkurɔfoɔ so no. Mɛsane ama mo banbɔ afiri mo atamfoɔ nyinaa nsam. “‘Na Awurade aka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ɔno Awurade na ɔbɛkyekyere efie ama wo; ahemfo ntoatoasoɔ efie.
fro the dai in which Y ordenede iugis on my puple Israel; and Y schal yyue reste to thee fro alle thin enemyes. And the Lord biforseith to thee, that `the Lord schal mak an hows to thee;
12 Na sɛ wo nna to twa a, mɛma wʼaseni a ɔfiri wʼasenem adi wʼadeɛ, na matim nʼahemman ase.
and whanne thi daies be fillid, and thou hast slept with thi fadris, Y schal reyse thi seed aftir thee, which schal go out of thi wombe, and Y schal make `stidfast his rewme.
13 Ɔno ne obi a ɔbɛsi dan de me din ato so. Na matim nʼahemman mu ahennwa ase afebɔɔ.
He schal bilde an hows to my name, and Y schal make stable the troone of his rewme til in to with outen ende;
14 Mɛyɛ nʼagya, na wayɛ me ba. Sɛ ɔyɛ bɔne a, mɛma aman bi atwe nʼaso.
Y schal be to hym in to fadir, and he schal be to me in to a sone; and if he schal do ony thing wickidli, Y schal chastise hym in the yerde of men, and in the woundis of the sones of men.
15 Nanso, merenyi me dɔ mfiri ne so da, sɛdeɛ meyi mefirii Saulo a meyii no firii wʼanim no so ansa na wobɛdii nʼadeɛ no.
Forsothe Y schal not do awey my mercy fro hym, as Y dide awei fro Saul, whom Y remouede fro my face.
16 Wo fie ne wʼahemman bɛtim wɔ mʼanim afebɔɔ; na wʼahennwa bɛtena hɔ daa.’”
And thin hows schal be feithful, and thi rewme schal be til in to with outen ende bifor my face, and thi trone schal be stidfast contynueli.
17 Natan kaa saa adiyisɛm yi nyinaa kyerɛɛ Dawid.
By alle these wordys, and bi al this reuelacioun, so Nathan spak to Dauid.
18 Na ɔhene Dawid kɔtenaa Awurade anim bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao, Awurade Otumfoɔ, mene hwan, na me fiefoɔ yɛ ɛdeɛn a wode me abɛduru ɛnnɛ?
Forsothe Dauid the kyng entride, and satt bifor the Lord, and seide, Who am Y, my Lord God, and what is myn hows, that thou brouytist me hidur to?
19 Na afei Otumfoɔ Awurade, yeinom nyinaa akyi no, woka sɛ wobɛma me ahennie a ɛte hɔ daa. Woyɛ nnipa nyinaa sei anaa, Ao Awurade Otumfoɔ?
But also this is seyn litil in thi siyt, my Lord God; no but thou schuldist speke also of the hows of thi seruaunt in to long tyme. Forsothe this is the lawe of Adam, Lord God;
20 “Ɛdeɛbɛn bio na mɛtumi aka? Ɛfiri sɛ, wonim sɛdeɛ wʼakoa teɛ, Ao Awurade Otumfoɔ.
what therfor may Dauid adde yit, that he speke to thee? For thou, Lord God, knowist thi seruaunt; thou hast do alle these grete thingis,
21 Wʼasɛm ne wo pɛ mu enti, woayɛ nneɛma kɛseɛ yi nyinaa akyerɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ.
for thi word, and bi thin herte, so that thou madist knowun to thi seruaunt.
22 “Wo kɛseyɛ yɛ kokuroo, Ao Awurade Otumfoɔ! Obi biara nte sɛ wo, Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ sɛ wo, na yɛntee onyame foforɔ bi mpo ho asɛm!
Herfor, Lord God, thou art magnyfied, for noon is lijk thee, ne there is no God outakun thee, in alle thingis whiche we herden with oure eeris.
23 Ɔman bɛn na ɛwɔ asase yi so a ɛte sɛ Israel? Ɔman foforɔ bɛn na woayi no afiri nkoasom mu de wɔn ayɛ wo ɔman? Ɛberɛ a woyii wo nkurɔfoɔ firii Misraim no, wogyee edin. Woyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ akɛseɛ de pamoo aman ne ahoni ahodoɔ a na wɔyɛ akwansideɛ ma wo nkurɔfoɔ.
Sotheli what folk in erthe is as the puple of Israel, for which the Lord God yede, that he schulde ayenbie it to him in to a puple, and schulde sette to hym silf a name, and schulde do to it grete thingis, and orible on erthe, in castinge out therof the folk and `goddis therof fro the face of thi puple, which thou `ayen bouytist to thee fro Egipt?
24 Woatim wo nkurɔfoɔ Israel sɛ wʼankasa wʼadeɛ afebɔɔ, na wo Ao Awurade, woabɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
And thou confermidist to thee thi puple Israel in to a puple euerlastynge, and thou, Lord, art maad in to God to hem.
25 “Na afei, Awurade Onyankopɔn, di ɛbɔ a wohyɛ faa wʼakoa ne ne mʼabusuafoɔ ho no so. Ma ɛnyɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
Now therfor, Lord God, reise thou withouten ende the word that thou hast spoke on thi seruaunt and on his hows, and do as thou hast spoke;
26 Na ma wo din nkron afebɔɔ na ewiase nyinaa nka sɛ, ‘Awurade Otumfoɔ yɛ Israel so Onyankopɔn.’ Na ma wo ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ahennie ase ntim wɔ wʼanim.
and thy name be magnyfied til in to withouten ende, and be it seid, The Lord of oostis is God on Israel; and the hows of thi seruaunt Dauid schal be stablischid byfor the Lord;
27 “Ao, Awurade Otumfoɔ, Israel Onyankopɔn, masi me bo abɔ saa mpaeɛ yi ɛfiri sɛ woakyerɛ sɛ wobɛkyekyere fie a ɛyɛ daa ahennie ama me.
for thou, Lord of oostis, God of Israel, hast maad reuelacioun to the eere of thi seruaunt, and seidist, Y schal bilde an hows to thee; therfor thi seruaunt foond his herte, that he schulde preie thee bi this preier.
28 Ao, Awurade Otumfoɔ, woyɛ Onyankopɔn! Wo nsɛm mu wɔ ahotosoɔ, na woahyɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ nnepa ho bɔ.
Now therfor, Lord God, thou art veri God, and thi wordis schulen be trewe; for thou hast spoke these goodis to thi seruaunt;
29 Afei, ma ɛnyɛ wo pɛ sɛ wobɛhyira wʼakoa fie so, na atoa so afebɔɔ wɔ wʼanim, na wo, Ao Awurade Otumfoɔ, woakasa, na wo nhyira a wode bɛhyira wo ɔsomfoɔ fie no bɛyɛ daapem nhyira.”
therfor bigynne thou, and blesse the hows of thi seruaunt, that it be withouten ende bifor thee; for thou, Lord God, hast spoke these thingis, and bi thi blessyng the hows of thi seruaunt schal be blessid withouten ende.
