2 Saamuʼeel 7

1 Mootichi erga masaraa isaa keessa jiraachuu jalqabee Waaqayyo diinota isaa kanneen naannoo isaa jiran hunda jalaa isa boqochiisee booddee,

It happened, when the king lived in his house, and YHWH had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

2 Naataan raajichaan, “Ani kunoo mana birbirsaan ijaarame keessan jiraadha; taabonni Waaqaa garuu dunkaana keessa jiraata” jedhe.

that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains."

3 Naataan immoo mootichaan, “Waaqayyo si wajjin jiraatii waan garaa keetti yaadde kam iyyuu godhi” jedhe.

Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart; for YHWH is with you."

4 Halkan sana garuu dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Naataan dhufe:

It happened the same night, that the word of YHWH came to Nathan, saying,

5 “Dhaqiitii akkana jedhii garbicha koo Daawititti himi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Kan mana ani keessa jiraadhu naaf ijaaru siʼii?

"Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says YHWH, "Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?

6 Ani gaafan Israaʼeloota Gibxii baasee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti mana keessa hin jiraanne. Ani iddoo jireenya koo dunkaana godhadhee iddoo tokkoo gara iddoo biraa naannaʼaan ture.

For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.

7 Ani iddoon Israaʼeloota hunda wajjin naannaʼaa ture kamitti iyyuu bulchitoota akka isaan saba koo Israaʼelin eeganiif ajaje keessaa nama tokkoon iyyuu, “Isin maaliif mana birbirsaa naaf hin ijaarre?” jedhee beekaa?’

In all places in which I have walked throughout Israel, did I say a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'

8 “Egaa amma akkana jedhii garbicha koo Daawititti himi; ‘Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: Ani akka ati bulchaa saba koo Israaʼel taatuuf lafa tikaatii fi bushaayee faana deemuu keessaan si fudhadhe.

Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.

9 Ani lafa ati dhaqxe hundatti si wajjinin ture; diinota kee hundas fuula kee duraa balleesseera. Ammas ani maqaa kee akkuma maqaa namoota addunyaa irratti akka malee gurguddaa taʼanii guddaa nan godha.

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 Ani akka isaan mana ofii isaanii qabaatanii fi siʼachi hin raafamneef saba koo Israaʼeliif lafa kennee isaan nan dhaaba. Namoonni hamoon akka jalqabatti godhan sana deebiʼanii isaan hin cunqursan;

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; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,

11 isaan siʼachi waan gaafa ani saba koo Israaʼel irratti abbootii murtii muudee as godhan sana illee hin godhan. Ani diinota kee hunda jalaas sin boqochiisa. “‘Akka Waaqayyo mataan isaa mana siif ijaaru Waaqayyo sittin hima;

and from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover YHWH tells you that he will build you a house.

12 yommuu barri jireenya keetii dhumee ati abbootii kee wajjin boqottutti ani akka inni iddoo kee buʼuuf sanyii kee kan gudeeda keetii baʼu nan kaasa; mootummaa isaa illee jabeessee nan dhaaba.

And it will come about when your days are fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 Kan maqaa kootiif mana ijaaru isa; anis teessoo mootummaa isaa bara baraan jabeessee nan dhaaba.

He will build a house for my name, and I will establish his throne forever.

14 Ani isaaf abbaa nan taʼa; innis ilma naa taʼa. Yommuu inni balleessaa hojjetuttis ulee namootaatiin isa nan adaba; alangee ilmaan namaa ittiin garafamaniinis nan garafa.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with a human rod, and with the stripes from human beings;

15 Jaalalli koo garuu akka jaalala ani Saaʼol isa ani fuula kee duraa balleesse sana irraa fudhadhe isa irraa hin fudhatamu.

but my loving kindness I will not take from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

16 Mannii fi mootummaan kee bara baraan fuula koo dura ni jiraata; teessoon kees bara baraan jabaatee ni dhaabata.’”

And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me, and your throne shall be established forever."'"

17 Naataanis dubbii mulʼata kanaa hunda Daawititti hime.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

18 Ergasii Daawit mootichi ol seenee fuula Waaqayyoo dura taaʼee akkana jedhe: “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, kan ati asiin na geesse ani eenyu? Maatiin koos maali?

Then king David went in and sat before YHWH and said, "Who am I, Lord YHWH, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

19 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, akka waan wanni kun fuula kee duratti gaʼaa hin taʼiniitti ati waaʼee mana garbicha keetii kan fuul duratti taʼus dubbatte. Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, edaa walitti dhufeenyi ati namoota wajjin qabdu kanaa?

This was a small thing in your eyes, Lord YHWH, and you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and you have let me look upon the generation of humankind to come, Lord YHWH.

20 “Daawit kana caalaa maal jechuu dandaʼa? Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati garbicha kee ni beektaatii.

And what more can David add to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, YHWH.

21 Ati sababii dubbii keetiitii fi akkuma fedhii keetiitti waan guddaa kana hojjettee akka garbichi kee beeku goote.

For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

22 “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati akkam guddaa dha! Kan akka keetii tokko iyyuu hin jiru; akka nu gurruma keenyaan dhageenyetti si malee Waaqni biraa hin jiru.

Therefore you are great, Lord YHWH. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 Sabni akka saba kee Israaʼel, kan Waaqni akka inni saba isaa taʼuuf maqaa ofii isaa dhaabbachuuf jedhee isa furuuf saboota ormaatii fi waaqota isaanii illee fuula isaa duraa ariʼuudhaan dinqiiwwan gurguddaa fi sodaachisaa argisiisuudhaan baʼee biyya Gibxii furee baase kan biraa lafa irraa kamii dha?

And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem to be a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to do great and awesome deeds by driving out before your people, whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods?

24 Ati saba kee Israaʼelin kan ofii keetii gootee bara baraan dhaabdeerta; yaa Waaqayyo ati Waaqa isaanii taateerta.

And you established your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, YHWH, became their God.

25 “Ammas yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi, ati waadaa garbicha keetii fi mana isaatiif galte sana bara baraan eegi. Kanas akkuma waadaa galte sana raawwadhu;

Now, Lord YHWH, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

26 kunis akka maqaan kee bara baraan guddaa taʼuuf. Kana irratti namoonni, ‘Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu Israaʼel irratti Waaqa!’ ni jedhu. Manni garbicha kee Daawitis fuula kee duratti jabaatee ni dhaabata.

Let your name be magnified forever, saying, 'YHWH of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.

27 “Yaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, Waaqa Israaʼel ati, ‘Ani mana siif nan ijaara’ jettee garbicha keetti waan kana mulʼifteerta; kanaafuu garbichi kee kadhannaa kana sitti dhiʼeessuuf ija jabina argateera.

For you 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 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati Waaqa! Dubbiin kee amanamaa dha; atis waan gaarii kana garbicha keetiif waadaa galteerta.

"Now, O Lord YHWH, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

29 Akka manni isaa bara baraan jabaattee fuula kee dura dhaabatuuf ammas mana garbicha keetii eebbisuun fedhii kee haa taʼu; yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati dubbatteertaatii; eebba keetiinis manni garbicha keetii bara baraan ni eebbifama.”

Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord YHWH, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing."
