2 Samuel 7

1 And it cometh to pass, when the king sat in his house, and Jehovah hath given rest to him round about, from all his enemies,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono fale, pea kuo tuku kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae mālōlō mei hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē naʻe nofo takatakai;

2 that the king saith unto Nathan the prophet, 'See, I pray thee, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.'

Naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Natani ko e palōfita, “Vakai eni, ʻoku ou nofo au ʻi ha fale sita, ka ʻoku nofo ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he loto puipui [pe].”

3 And Nathan saith unto the king, 'All that [is] in thine heart — go, do, for Jehovah [is] with thee.'

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Natani ki he tuʻi, “ʻAlu, ʻo fai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto he ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.”

4 And it cometh to pass in that night, that the word of Jehovah is unto Nathan, saying,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pō pe ko ia, naʻe ongo mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Natani, ʻo pehē.

5 'Go, and thou hast said unto My servant, unto David, Thus said Jehovah, Dost thou build for Me a house for My dwelling in?

“ʻAlu ʻo tala ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, He te ke langa ʻe koe kiate au ha fale ke u nofo ai?

6 for I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a tabernacle.

Kae ʻosi kuo ʻikai te u nofo ʻi ha fale talu mei he kuonga naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni, ka kuo u ʻeveʻeva ʻi ha fale tupenu mo ha fale fehikitaki.

7 During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, a word have I spoken with one of the tribes of Israel which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, 'Why have ye not built to Me a house of cedars?

‌ʻI he potu kotoa pē kuo u ʻalu ai mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, kuo u lea ʻaki koā ha momoʻi lea ki ha tokotaha ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻaku fekau ke fafangaʻi ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, ke pehē, Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou langa hoku fale sita?’

8 and now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the comely place, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;

Pea ko ia foki te ke pehē ai ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ‘Naʻaku hiki mai koe mei he lotoʻā sipi, mei hoʻo muimui ʻi he fanga sipi, ke ke pule ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli;

9 and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and I cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a great name, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth,

Pea naʻaku ʻiate koe ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻa ke ʻalu ki ai, pea kuo u fakaʻauha atu ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē mei ho ʻao, pea kuo u ngaohi ke ongoongoa lahi ho hingoa, ʻo tatau mo e hingoa ʻoe kau ongoongoa ʻoku ʻi māmani.

10 and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it hath tabernacled in its place, and it is not troubled any more, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it any more, as in the beginning,

Pea te u tuʻutuʻuni foki ha potu maʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli, pea te u fokotuʻu ʻakinautolu, ke nau nofo ʻi ha potu ʻoku ʻonautolu pe, pea ʻikai toe hiki; pea ʻe ʻikai toe fakamamahi ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻoe angakovi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa,

11 even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to thee from all thine enemies, and Jehovah hath declared to thee that Jehovah doth make for thee a house.

Pea hangē ko ia kuo fai talu mei heʻeku fekau ke pule ʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli ʻe he kau fakamaau; pea kuo u tuku kiate koe ʻae mālōlō mei ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē. Pea ʻoku fakahā mai foki ʻe Sihova te ne fakatupu ho fale ʻoʻou.

12 'When thy days are full, and thou hast lain with thy fathers, then I have raised up thy seed after thee which goeth out from thy bowels, and have established his kingdom;

Pea ʻoka kakato hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho, pea te ke mohe koe fakataha mo hoʻo ngaahi tamai, te u fokotuʻu hake ho hako ki mui ʻiate koe, ʻakinautolu ʻe haʻu mei ho fatu ʻoʻou, pea te u ʻai ke tuʻu mālohi ʻa hono puleʻanga.

13 He doth build a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom unto the age.

Te ne langa ʻe ia ha fale maʻa hoku hingoa, pea te u fokotuʻu ʻae nofoʻanga fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga ke taʻengata.

14 I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,

Teu ʻiate ia ko e tamai, pea ko hoku foha ia. Kapau te ne fai ha kovi, te u tautea ʻaki ia ʻae meʻa tā ʻae tangata, pea mo e ngaahi tā ʻae fānau ʻae tangata:

15 and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee,

Ka ʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻa ʻeku ʻaloʻofa meiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻave ia ʻia Saula, ʻaia naʻaku ʻave ʻeau mei ho ʻao.

16 and stedfast [is] thy house and thy kingdom unto the age before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.'

Pea ko ho fale, pea mo ho puleʻanga ʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻi ho ʻao ʻo taʻengata; ʻe ʻai ke maʻu ʻo taʻengata ʻa ho nofoʻanga fakatuʻi.

17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.

Naʻe lea ʻa Natani kia Tevita ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi lea ni, pea tatau mo e meʻa hā mai ni.’”

18 And king David cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, 'Who [am] I, Lord Jehovah? and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?

Pea naʻe toki hū atu ʻa Tevita, pea ne nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko hai au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua? Pea ko e hā ʻa hoku fale, kuo ke ʻomi ai au ʻo aʻu mai ki he kuonga ni?

19 And yet this [is] little in Thine eyes, Lord Jehovah, and Thou dost speak also concerning the house of Thy servant afar off; and this [is] the law of the Man, Lord Jehovah.

Pea ko e meʻa siʻi foki ia ʻi ho ʻao, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua; he kuo ke folofola foki ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki he kuonga fuoloa ʻe haʻu. Pea he ko e anga eni ʻoe tangata ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua?

20 And what doth David add more to speak unto Thee? and Thou, Thou hast known Thy servant, Lord Jehovah.

Pea ko e hā ha toe lea ʻe faʻa fai ʻe Tevita kiate koe? He ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻe koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.

21 Because of Thy word, and according to Thy heart, Thou hast done all this greatness, to cause Thy servant to know [it].

Kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ni, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo folofola, pea ʻo hangē ko ho finangalo ʻoʻou, koeʻuhi ke fakaʻilo ia ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.

22 Therefore Thou hast been great, Jehovah God, for there is none like Thee, and there is no God save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Ko ia ʻoku ke lahi koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku hangē ko koe, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua mo koe, ʻo tatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa homau telinga.

23 'And who [is] as Thy people, as Israel — one nation in the earth, whom God hath gone to redeem to Him for a people, and to make for Him a name — and to do for you the greatness — even fearful things for Thy land, at the presence of Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed to Thee out of Egypt — [among the] nations and their gods?

Pea ko fē ia ha puleʻanga pe taha ʻi māmani kuo tatau mo hoʻo kakai, ke hangē ko ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae ʻOtua ke ne huhuʻi ia ko e kakai maʻana, pea ke fakaongoongolelei foki ia, pea ke fai maʻamoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi mo fakamanavahē, koeʻuhi ko ho fonua, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻaia naʻa ke huhuʻi kiate koe mei ʻIsipite, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga pea mo honau ngaahi ʻotua?

24 Yea, Thou dost establish to Thee Thy people Israel, to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, Jehovah, hast been to them for God.

He kuo ke fakapapau kiate koe ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ko e kakai kiate koe ke taʻengata: pea ko koe ʻe Sihova kuo ke hoko ko honau ʻOtua.

25 'And now, Jehovah God, the word which Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, establish unto the age, and do as Thou hast spoken;

Pea ko eni, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e lea kuo ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi ko hono fale, fokotuʻu ia ke taʻengata, pea ke fai ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ke folofola ki ai.

26 And Thy Name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee,

Pea tuku ke fakahikihikiʻi ʻa ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, ʻo pehē, Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ko e ʻOtua ia ki ʻIsileli: pea tuku ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.

27 For Thou, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant, saying, A house I build for thee, therefore hath Thy servant found his heart to pray unto Thee this prayer;

He ko koe, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, kuo ke fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, Te u langa hake ha fale moʻou: ko ia kuo ngaue ai ʻae loto ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke fai ʻae lotu ni kiate koe.

28 And now, Lord Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thy words are truth, and Thou speakest unto Thy servant this goodness,

Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko koe ʻae ʻOtua ko ia, pea ʻoku moʻoni ʻa hoʻo ngaahi folofola, pea kuo ke talaʻofa ʻaki ʻae lelei ni ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki:

29 And now, begin and bless the house of Thy servant, to be unto the age before Thee, for Thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken, and by Thy blessing is the house of Thy servant blessed — to the age.'

Ko ia tuku ke lelei ia kiate koe ke tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke tuʻumaʻu ia ʻi ho ʻao ʻo taʻengata: he ko koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo ke folofola ki ai: pea ʻi hoʻo tāpuaki tuku ke tāpuakiʻi ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata.”
