2 Samuel 7
1 A hmuen pueng koe kaawm e a tarannaw e kut dawk hoi BAWIPA ni a hloutsaknae hah, siangpahrang ni a coe teh a im dawk karoumcalah ao navah,
When the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
2 Siangpahrang ni profet Nathan hah kaw teh, khenhaw! kai teh Sidar thing im dawk ka o. Cathut e thingkong teh lukkarei yap e thung sut ao.
the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”
3 Nathan ni cet nateh na lung dawk kaawm e patetlah sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang koe BAWIPA ao telah atipouh.
Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
4 Hote tangmin vah BAWIPA e lawk hah Nathan koe a pha.
That same night, the LORD’s word came to Nathan, saying,
5 Ka san Devit koe cet nateh dei pouh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, ka o nahane im nang ni na sak pouh han na maw.
“Go and tell my servant David, ‘The LORD says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
6 Isarelnaw hah Izip ram hoi ka tâcokhainae koehoi im dawk kaawm hoeh, lukkareiim dawk doeh ka o.
For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 Isarelnaw koe ka cei nah tangkuem dawk hoi ka tami Isarelnaw kawkhik sak hanelah kai ni ka patoun e lawkcengkungnaw koe nang teh kai hanelah Sidar thing hoi im hah, bangkongmaw na sak hoeh ka ti boimaw.
In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
8 Hatdawkvah, ka san Devit koevah, ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, tu a pânae hmuen koe tu na khoum navah, ka tami Isarelnaw uk hanelah na rawi toe.
Now therefore tell my servant David this: ‘The LORD of Hosts says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.
9 Na cei nah tangkuem koe kai ka o vaiteh tarannaw pueng na hmaitung ka thei vaiteh talai dawk a min ka lentoe e a min patetlah ka lentoe poung e min hah na poe toe.
I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
10 Ka tami Isarelnaw a onae hmuen hah ka rakueng pouh toe. Ahnimanaw bout a kampuen awh hoeh nahan, amamae hmuen koe o sak hanelah, ka caksak han. Tami kathoutnaw teh ayan e tueng dawk hoi thoseh,
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,
11 Ka tami Isarelnaw thung e lawkcengkungnaw hah ka rawinae tueng dawk thoseh, dudam e patetlah bout dudam awh mahoeh toe. Nang hai tarannaw e kut dawk hoi na kâhat sak teh, na imthung hah a kangdue sak han telah BAWIPA ni a dei toe.
and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a house.
12 Na hnin akuep teh, mintoenaw hoi na kâhat torei teh, na thitak dawk hoi ka tâcawt e na capa hah ka tawmrasang vaiteh, a ram ka kangdue sak han.
When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Ahni ni ka min o nahane im a sak han. A uknaeram bawitungkhung a yungyoe ka caksak han.
He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 A na pa lah ka o vaiteh, ahni teh ka capa lah ao han. Payonpakainae sak pawiteh tami ni a hno e bongpai hoi ka yue han. Tami ni a hem e patetlah ka hem han.
I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men;
15 Hatei na hmalah ka takhoe e Sawl dawk hoi kai ni na pahrennae ka lae patetlah nange na ca dawk hoi ka lat mahoeh.
but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
16 Na imthung hoi na uknaeram teh yungyoe caksak e lah ao vaiteh, na bawitungkhung hah yungyoe caksak e lah ao han. Ka san Devit koe dei pouh, telah ati.
Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”
17 Hete lawknaw pueng hoi kamnuenae dawk kamnuek e naw patetlah Nathan ni Devit koe a dei pouh.
Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.
18 Hatnavah siangpahrang Devit ni a kâen teh, BAWIPA e hmalah a tahung. Oe Bawipa Jehovah, bang patetlae tami lah maw ka o teh ka imthung hai bang patetlae na maw. Hettelah na hrawi.
Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
19 Oe Bawipa Jehovah, het hai na mithmu vah hno titca rah doeh. Hateiteh, na san imthung kong heh kum moikapap hanelah yo na la dei toe. Oe Bawipa Jehovah, hete hnonaw hai taminaw ni hottelah a sak awh e doeh.
This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord GOD!
20 Devit ni nang nama koe bangmaw a hloilah a dei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na san heh Oe Bawipa Jehovah nang ni koung na panue.
What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord GOD.
21 Na lawk kecu hoi na lungpouk e boiboe lah na sak e hno ka lentoe e hah na san koe na panue sak.
For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
22 Hatdawkvah, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh na lentoe poung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hnâ hoi ka thainae lah nang patet e awm hoeh. Nang nama hoeh laipalah Cathut alouke khoeroe awm hoeh.
Therefore you are great, LORD God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Izip ram miphun kuep hoi a cathutnaw thung hoi nama hanlah na ratang e, na taminaw hmalah ka lentoe e hno hoi na uk nahane dawk takikatho poung e hno ka sak hane hoi, a ma hanelah a rawi e, na tami Isarelnaw patetlah e, talai dawk miphun alouke apimaw kaawm.
What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tami Isarelnaw hah a yungyoe na tami lah o nahane na coung sak teh BAWIPA nang nama teh a Cathut lah na o.
You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.
25 Oe BAWIPA Cathut, na san dawk thoseh, ka imthung dawk thoseh, na dei e lawk hah a yungyoe caksak haw. Na dei tangcoung e patetlah sak lawih.
“Now, LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
26 Ransahu BAWIPA teh Isarelnaw ka uk e Cathut doeh telah na min hah yungyoe rasang lawi naseh. Nange na san Devit e imthung, na hmaitung caksak e lah ao han.
Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’
27 Bangkongtetpawiteh, oe ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut, na san koevah na imthung kangdue sak han telah lawk na dei toe. Hatdawkvah, na san ni a lungthin hoi hete ratoum ngainae na hmaitung sak hanelah a hmu toe.
For you, LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
28 Oe Bawipa Jehovah nang teh Cathut lah na o. Na lawk teh atangcalah ao. Na hawinae na san dawk lawk na kam toe.
“Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
29 Hatdawkvah, na san imthung heh, na hmalah yungyoe pou ao thai nahanelah yawhawinae poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, nama ni yo na dei toe. Na yawhawinae hoi na san imthungnaw teh yungyoe hoi yawhawinae awm seh telah ati.
Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
