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, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of Yhwh remaineth 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 unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.

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 saith Yhwh, Thou shalt 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 dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto 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?”’

Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye 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 shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest 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 thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee 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 thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that Yhwh will build thee 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 thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy 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 stablish 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 thee:

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 mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

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 unto 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 Yhwh, and said, Who am I, O Yhwh God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

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 thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Yhwh 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 thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy 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 Yhwh, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou 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 Yhwh, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, 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 thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

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

For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Yhwh, becamest 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, Yhwh, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast 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 thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, Yhwh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

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 thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.

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

And now, Yhwh, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy 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 thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Yhwh, and it shall be blessed for ever.
