1 Chronicles 17
1 When David was living in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I live in a cedar house, but the ark of Yahweh’s covenant is in a tent.”
David te amah im ah a om van nen tah David loh tonghma Nathan taengah, “Kai he lamphai im ah ka om dae BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng tah himbaiyan hmuiah sut om ke,” a ti nah.
2 Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”
Te vaengah Nathan loh David te, “Pathen he nang taengah om coeng tih na thinko khuikah bangla a cungkuem he saii ngawn,” a ti nah.
3 That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Te khoyin ah tah Pathen kah ol te Nathan taengla pawk tih,
4 “Go and tell David my servant, ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in;
“Cet lamtah ka sal David te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai hamla om nah im na sak moenih.
5 for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.
Israel ka khuen khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin hil he im khuiah ka om hlan. Tedae dap khat lamloh dap khat neh dungtlungim ah ni ka om.
6 In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
Israel boeih te a cungkuem dongah ka caeh puei. Israel kah laitloek pakhat taengah ol ka thui coeng te ta? Te te ka pilnam luem puei ham ka uen tih, “Balae tih kai hamla lamphai im na sak uh pawh?” ka ti nah.
7 “Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel.
Te dongah ka sal David taengah he he thui pah laeh. Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh nang te tolkhoeng lamloh, boiva hnuk lamloh ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la om ham kan loh coeng.
8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
Na caeh nah takuem ah nang te kan om puei. Na thunkha boeih te na mikhmuh lamloh ka khoe. Na ming te diklai kah hlanglen ming la ka khueh ni.
9 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 waste them any more, as at the first,
Ka pilnam Israel ham hmuen ka khueh vetih anih te ka phung ni. Te vaengah a hmuiah kho a sak vetih tlai voel mahpawh. Lamhma kah bangla anih hmawn sak ham khaw dumlai ca rhoek loh koei uh voel mahpawh.
10 and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.
Ka pilnam Israel soah lai aka tloek la kang uen khohnin lamloh, “Na thunkha boeih te ka kunyun sak bitni. Te phoeiah namah taengkah ka thui bangla BOEIPA loh nang hamla im han sak bitni.
11 It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
Na khohnin loh cum tih na pa rhoek taengla na cet cakhaw na tiingan te namah hnukah ka thoh ni. Na ca rhoek taeng lamloh aka om te khaw a ram ka cikngae sak ni.
12 He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
Anih loh kai hamla im a sak vetih a ngolkhoel te kumhal duela ka cikngae sak ni.
13 I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you;
Kai he anih taengah pa la ka om vetih anih khaw kamah taengah capa la om ni. Na hmai ah aka om taeng lamloh ka lat bangla ka sitlohnah he anih taeng lamloh ka lat mahpawh.
14 but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”
Anih te kamah im neh ka ram ah kumhal duela ka pai sak ni. A ngolkhoel khaw kumhal duela a cikngae la om ni,” a ti nah.
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
He ol cungkuem neh hekah mangthui cungkuem bangla Nathan loh David taengah a thui pah tangloeng.
16 Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
Te phoeiah manghai David te cet tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ngol. Te vaengah Pathen BOEIPA aw kai he unim?, He la kai nan khuen ham akhaw ka imkhui he mebang nim?
17 This was a small thing in your eyes, O God, but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.
He tah Pathen namah mikhmuh ah rhaidaeng. Tedae a hlahoei lamkah khaw na sal imkhui ham na thui. Tangtlaeng Pathen BOEIPA loh boeimang hlang la kai nan hmuh.
18 What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.
Na sal thangpomnah ham te namah taengah David loh metlam koep a thap eh? Namah loh na sal he na ming coeng.
19 Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
BOEIPA aw na sal ham kong ah lennah cungkuem te ming sak ham na lungbuei kah bangla lennah cungkuem he na saii.
20 Yahweh, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
BOEIPA namah bang he om pawt tih Pathen a tloe a om moenih. Tedae namah tah a cungkuem dongah kaimih hna neh kan yaak uh coeng.
21 What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people whom you redeemed out of Egypt?
Diklai ah namtu pakhat khaw na pilnam Israel bangla om nim? Namah ham lennah ming la khueh ham, a pilnam te lat pah ham Pathen loh a paan coeng. Egypt lamkah na lat na pilnam mikhmuh lamloh na haek ham tah namtom loh a rhih.
22 For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
Na pilnam Israel te namah ham kumhal kah pilnam la na khueh. BOEIPA namah tah amih kah Pathen la na om pai.
23 Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
BOEIPA aw, na sal ham neh a imkhui ham na thui ol te kumhal duela cak pawn saeh. Na thui bangla saii pai laeh.
24 Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’
Te dongah na ming te kumhal duela cak vetih pantai ni. “Israel Pathen tah Israel Pathen, caempuei BOEIPA,” a ti pai. Na sal David imkhui khaw na mikhmuh ah cikngae pai saeh.
25 For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.
Kai kah Pathen namah loh a im sak hamla na sal kah hna he na vueh pah. Te dongah ni na sal loh na mikhmuh ah thangthui ham a hmuh.
26 Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.
Pathen amah khaw BOEIPA namah coeng dongah ni hnothen he na sal ham na thui pah.
27 Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
Na sal imkhui he yoethen sak ham neh na mikhmuh ah kumhal duela om sak ham na mulmet coeng. BOEIPA namah loh yoethen na paek dongah kumhal duela a yoethen.
