2 Samoela 7
1 Ary raha nipetraka tao an-tranony ny mpanjaka, ary efa nampiadanin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fahavalony rehetra manodidina azy izy,
It happened that after the king had settled in his house, and after Yahweh had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies,
2 dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Natana mpaminany: Akory izato izaho mitoetra amin’ ny trano sedera, nefa ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra kosa mitoetra ao anaty lay!
the king said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is staying in the middle of a tent.”
3 Dia hoy Natana tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Andeha, ataovy izay rehetra ao am-ponao; fa Jehovah no momba anao.
Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do what is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
4 Ary tamin’ ny alin’ iny ihany dia tonga tamin’ i Natana ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
But that same night the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,
5 Andeha, lazao amin’ i Davida mpanompoko hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hianao va no hanao trano hitoerako?
“Go and tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: Will you build me a house in which to live?
6 Fa tsy mbola nitoetra an-trano Aho hatramin’ ny nitondrako ny Zanak’ Isiraely niakatra avy tany Egypta ka mandraka androany, fa nifindrafindra toby sy nifindrafindra toerana.
For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up the people of Israel out of Egypt until this present day; instead, I have been moving about in a tent, a tabernacle.
7 Ary tamin’ izay rehetra nifindrafindrako niaraka tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, moa nisy nitenenako akory va ny firenen’ Isiraely, izay notendreko ho mpiandry ny Isiraely oloko, ka nanaovako hoe: Nahoana no tsy manao trano sedera ho Ahy ianareo?
In all places where I have moved among all the people of Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”'”
8 Koa lazao amin’ i Davida mpanompoko hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Izaho no naka anao avy tany an-tsaha, dia avy tamin’ ny niandrasanao ondry, mba ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely oloko.
Now then, tell my servant David, “This is what Yahweh of hosts says: 'I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, so that you would be ruler over my people Israel.
9 Ary nomba anao tamin’ izay nalehanao rehetra Aho, ka naringako tsy ho eo anoloanao ny fahavalonao rehetra, ary homeko anarana malaza tahaka ny anaran’ izay lehibe ambonin’ ny tany ianao.
I have been with you wherever you went. I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the great ones of the earth.
10 Ary hifidy tany ho an’ ny Isiraely oloko Aho sady hamponina azy, ka dia handry fahizay amin’ ny fonenany ary tsy hanana ahiahy intsony izy, ary ny zanaky ny faharatsiana tsy hampahory azy intsony tahaka ny taloha
I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them there, so that they may live in their own place and be troubled no more. No longer will wicked people oppress them, as they did before,
11 sy tahaka ny hatramin’ ny nanendreko mpitsara ho mpifehy ny Isiraely oloko; ary hampiadana anao ho afaka amin’ ny fahavalonao rehetra Aho. Ary lazain’ i Jehovah aminao koa fa hanome taranaka ho anao Izy.
as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Now I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, I, Yahweh declare to you that I will make you a house.
12 Ary rehefa tapitra ny andronao, ka hodi-mandry any amin’ ny razanao ianao, dia hatsangako handimby anao ny zanakao izay haterakao, ary hampitoeriko ny fanjakany;
When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up a descendant after you, one who will come out from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 dia io no hanao trano ho an’ ny anarako, ary Izaho kosa hampitoetra ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakany ho mandrakizay.
He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 Izaho ho rainy, ary izy ho zanako. Raha manao izay meloka izy, dia hanariko amin’ ny tsorakazon’ ny olona sy ny kapoky ny zanak’ olombelona;
I will be a father to him, and he will be my son. When he sins, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the whipping of the sons of men.
15 nefa ny famindram-poko tsy mba hiala aminy, tahaka ny nanesorako izany tamin’ i Saoly, izay nesoriko teo alohanao.
But my covenant faithfulness will not leave him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
16 Ary ny taranakao sy ny fanjakanao hitoetra eo anatrehanao mandrakizay; ny seza fiandriananao hitoetra mandrakizay.
Your house and kingdom will be confirmed forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.'”
17 Araka izany teny rehetra izany sy araka izao fahitana rehetra izao no nolazain’ i Natana tamin’ i Davida.
Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire vision.
18 Ary Davida mpanjaka niditra ka nipetraka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ary nanao hoe: Zinona moa aho, Jehovah Tompo ô? Ary zinona ny mpianakaviko, no novimbininao ambaraka ankehitriny aho?
Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh and said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family that you have brought me to this point?
19 Ary mbola ataonao ho zavatra kely ihany aza izany, Jehovah Tompo ô, fa, indro, efa voalazanao koa ny amin’ ny taranaky ny mpanomponao hatramin’ ny mbola any aoriana lavitra aza. Ary izany dia fanaon’ ny olona, Jehovah Tompo ô.
Now this was a small thing in your sight, Lord Yahweh. You have even spoken about your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Lord Yahweh!
20 Ka inona intsony no holazain’ i Davida aminao? Fa Hianao, Jehovah Tompo ô, no mahalala ny mpanomponao.
What more can I, David, say to you? You have known your servant, Lord Yahweh.
21 Noho ny teninao sy araka ny sitraponao no nanaovanao io zavatra lehibe rehetra io, hampahalalanao ny mpanomponao.
For your word's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing and revealed it to your servant.
22 Koa amin’ izany dia lehibe Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitra; fa tsy misy tahaka Anao, ka tsy misy Andriamanitra afa-tsy Hianao araka izay rehetra ren’ ny sofinay.
Therefore you are great, Lord Yahweh, for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, as we have heard with our own ears.
23 Ary aiza moa no misy firenena etỳ an-tany tahaka ny Isiraely olonao, izay nalehan’ Andriamanitra havotana ho olony, sy hanaovany anarana ho Azy, ary hanaovany zavatra lehibe ho anareo sy zava-mahatahotra ho an’ ny taninao teo anatrehan’ ny olonao, izay navotanao ho Anao avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Egypta sy ny andriamaniny?
What nation is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom you, God, went and rescued for yourself? You did this so that they would become a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself, and to do great and fearful deeds for your land. You drove out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you rescued from Egypt.
24 Dia nampitoerinao ny Isiraely olonao ho olonao mandrakizay: ary Hianao, Jehovah ô, no efa tonga Andriamaniny.
You established Israel as your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, became their God.
25 Ary ankehitriny, Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, ilay teny nolazainao ny amin’ ny mpanomponao sy ny taranany dia ampitoero ho mandrakizay, ary ataovy araka izay nolazainao.
So now, Yahweh God, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. Do as you have spoken.
26 Ary aoka hohalehibiazina mandrakizay ny anaranao ka hatao hoe; Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no Andriamanitry ny Isiraely; ka dia hampitoerina eo anatrehanao ny taranak’ i Davida mpanomponao.
May your name be forever great, so the people will say, 'Yahweh of hosts is the God of Israel,' while the house of me, David, your servant is established before you.
27 Fa Hianao, Jehovah Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, efa nilaza tamin’ ny mpanomponao hoe: Izaho hanome taranaka anao; koa izany no nampahasahy ny fon’ ny mpanomponao hanao izao vavaka izao aminao.
For you, Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. That is why I, your servant, have found courage to pray to you.
28 Ary noho izany, Jehovah Tompo ô, satria Hianao no Andriamanitra, ary marina ny teninao, ary Hianao efa nilaza izany zava-tsoa izany ny amin’ ny mpanomponao,
Now, Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are trustworthy, and you have made this good promise to your servant.
29 dia aoka ho sitrakao ny hitahy ny taranaky ny mpanomponao haharitra mandrakizay eo anatrehanao; fa Hianao, Jehovah Tompo ô, efa niteny izany; eny, aoka ny fitahianao no hitahianao ny taranaky ny mpanomponao mandrakizay.
Now then, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, Lord Yahweh, have said these things, and with your blessing your servant's house will be blessed forever.”
