1 Chronicles 17

1 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Dafidi ti fi ìdí kalẹ̀ sínú ààfin rẹ̀, ó sọ fún Natani wòlíì pé, “Èmi nìyí, tí ń gbé inú ààfin kedari nígbà tí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa wà lábẹ́ àgọ́.”

Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, See, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remains under curtains.

2 Natani dá Dafidi lóhùn pé, “Ohunkóhun tí o bá ní lọ́kàn, ṣe é nítorí tí Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.”

Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.

3 Ní àṣálẹ́ ọjọ́ náà, ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run tọ Natani wá, wí pé:

And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

4 “Lọ sọ fún ìránṣẹ́ mi Dafidi, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ kọ́ ilé fún mi láti máa gbé.

Go and tell David my servant, Thus says the LORD, You shall not build me an house to dwell in:

5 Èmi kò tí ì gbé nínú ilé láti ọjọ́ tí mo ti mú Israẹli jáde wá láti Ejibiti títí di òní yìí. Èmi ń lọ láti àgọ́ dé àgọ́ àti láti ibùgbé dé ibùgbé.

For I have not dwelled in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

6 Ni ibi gbogbo tí mo ti bá gbogbo Israẹli rìn dé, ǹjẹ́ mo wí nǹkan kan sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn adarí Israẹli, tí èmí pàṣẹ fún láti máa jẹ́ olùṣọ́-àgùntàn àwọn ènìyàn mi, wí pé, “Kí ní ṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi kọ́ ilé tí a fi igi kedari kọ́ fún mi?”’

Wherever I have walked with all Israel, spoke I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have you not built me an house of cedars?

7 “Nígbà náà, sọ fún ìránṣẹ́ mi Dafidi pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: Èmi mú ọ kúrò ní pápá oko tútù wá, àní kúrò lẹ́yìn agbo àgùntàn, kí ìwọ kí ó lè máa ṣe olórí àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli.

Now therefore thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that you should be ruler over my people Israel:

8 Èmi ti wà pẹ̀lú rẹ ní, ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá lọ, èmí sì ti gé gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ kúrò níwájú rẹ. Nísinsin yìí Èmi yóò mú kí orúkọ rẹ kí ó dàbí orúkọ àwọn ènìyàn ńlá jùlọ tí ó wà ní ayé.

And I have been with you wherever you have walked, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

9 Èmi yóò sì pèsè ààyè kan fún àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli, kí wọn kí ó lè ní ilé tiwọn, kí a má sì ṣe dààmú wọn mọ́. Àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò ni wọ́n lára mọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ṣe ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀.

Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

10 Bí wọ́n sì ti ṣe láti ìgbà tí mo ti yan àwọn aṣáájú lórí àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli. Èmi pẹ̀lú yóò ṣẹ́gun gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá yín. “‘Èmi sọ fún yín pé Olúwa yóò kọ́ ilé kan fún yín,

And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you an house.

11 nígbà ti ọjọ́ rẹ bá kọjá, tí ìwọ bá lọ láti lọ bá àwọn baba à rẹ, Èmi yóò gbé àwọn ọmọ rẹ sókè láti rọ́pò rẹ, ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọmọ tìrẹ, Èmi yóò sì fìdí ìjọba rẹ̀ kalẹ̀.

And it shall come to pass, when your days be expired that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

12 Òun ni ẹni tí yóò kọ́ ilé fún mi, èmi yóò sí fi ìdí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ kalẹ̀ títí láé.

He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

13 Èmi yóò jẹ́ baba rẹ̀, Òun yóò sì jẹ́ ọmọ mi. Èmi kì yóò mú ìfẹ́ mi kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ láéláé gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ṣe mú un kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn aṣáájú rẹ̀.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before you:

14 Èmi yóò gbé e ka orí ilé mi àti ìjọba mi títí láé; ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ni a ó fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ títí láé.’”

But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for ever more.

15 Natani ròyìn fún Dafidi gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ ti ìfihàn yí.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

16 Nígbà náà, ọba Dafidi wọlé lọ, ó sì jókòó níwájú Olúwa ó sì wí pé, “Ta ni èmi, Olúwa Ọlọ́run, àti ki ni ìdílé mi, tí ìwọ mú mi dé ibí?

And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me till now?

17 Pẹ̀lú bí ẹni pé èyí kò tó lójú rẹ, Ọlọ́run, ìwọ ti sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ọjọ́ iwájú ilé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ. Ìwọ ti wò mí bí ẹni pé èmi ni ẹni gbígbéga jù láàrín àwọn ọkùnrin Olúwa Ọlọ́run.

And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; for you have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

18 “Kí ni ohun tí Dafidi tún lè sọ nítorí ọlá tí o bù fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ? Nítorí tí ìwọ mọ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ,

What can David speak more to you for the honor of your servant? for you know your servant.

19 Olúwa. Nítorí ti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ rẹ, ìwọ ti ṣe ohun ńlá yìí àti láti fi gbogbo ìlérí ńlá yìí hàn.

O LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

20 “Kò sí ẹnìkan bí rẹ Olúwa, kò sì sí Ọlọ́run kan àfi ìwọ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí à ti gbọ́ pẹ̀lú etí ara wa.

O LORD, there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

21 Pẹ̀lú ta ni ó dàbí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ Israẹli—orílẹ̀-èdè kan ní ayé, tí Ọlọ́run jáde lọ láti ra àwọn ènìyàn kan padà fún ara rẹ̀, àti láti lè ṣe orúkọ fún ara à rẹ, àti láti ṣe ohun ńlá àti ọwọ́ ìyanu nípa lílé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kúrò níwájú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ẹni tí ó gbàlà láti Ejibiti?

And what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make you a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before your people whom you have redeemed out of Egypt?

22 Ìwọ ṣe àwọn ènìyàn rẹ Israẹli ní tìrẹ láéláé ìwọ Olúwa sì ti di Ọlọ́run wọn.

For your people Israel did you make your own people for ever; and you, LORD, became their God.

23 “Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa, jẹ́ kí ìlérí tí ìwọ ti ṣe fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ àti ilé rẹ̀ di fífi ìdí múlẹ̀ títí láé. Ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti ṣe ìlérí.

Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as you have said.

24 Kí ó lè di fífi ìdí múlẹ̀ àti kí orúkọ rẹ di gbígbéga títí láé. Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọkùnrin yóò wí pé, ‘Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, ni Ọlọ́run Israẹli.’ Ilé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Dafidi sì ni a ó fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ níwájú rẹ.

Let it even be established, that your name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David your servant be established before you.

25 “Ìwọ, Ọlọ́run mi, ti fihan ìránṣẹ́ rẹ pé, ìwọ yóò kọ́ ilé fún un. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti ní ìgboyà láti gbàdúrà sí ọ.

For you, O my God, have told your servant that you will build him an house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray before you.

26 Olúwa, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run. Ìwọ ti fi ìlérí dídára yìí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.

And now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this goodness to your servant:

27 Nísinsin yìí ó ti tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn láti bùkún ilé ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kí ó lè tẹ̀síwájú ní ojú rẹ; nítorí ìwọ, Olúwa, ti bùkún un, a ó sì bùkún un títí láéláé.”

Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may be before you for ever: for you bless, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
