2 Samuel 7
1 Manghai te amah im ah om tih kho a sak vaengah anih hamla a kaepvai kah a thunkha boeih te BOEIPA loh a duem sak.
By now the king was comfortable in his palace and the Lord had given him peace from all the enemy nations around him.
2 Te vaengah manghai loh tonghma Nathan taengah, “So lah, kamah tah lamphai im dongah kho ka sak coeng, tedae Pathen kah thingkawng tah himbaiyan khui ah sut ngol,” a ti nah.
So he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look at me—I live in a palace made of cedar, but the Ark of God is still in a tent.”
3 Te vaengah Nathan loh manghai te, “Na thinko khuikah aka om carhui te tah cet lamtah saii laeh, BOEIPA tah nang taengah om coeng,” a ti nah.
“Go ahead, do whatever you want, for the Lord is with you,” Nathan told the king.
4 Te kah khoyin ah om tih BOEIPA ol te Nathan taengla a pawk hatah,
But that night the Lord spoke to Nathan and told him,
5 “Cet lamtah ka sal David te thui pah. BOEIPA loh, 'Ka om nah ham ka im te na sa aya?
“Go and tell my servant David, This is what the Lord says: Should you be the one to build a house for me to live in?
6 Egypt lamkah Israel ca ka khuen khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin hil im khuiah kho ka sak moenih. Tedae dap khui neh dungtlungim khuiah ni ka om tih ka van.
For I have never lived in a house, from the time I led the Israelites out of Egypt up till now. I have always moved from place to place, living in a tent and a Tabernacle.
7 Israel ca rhoek boeih te kho tom ah ka caeh puei. Olka nen khaw Israel koca pakhat khaw ka voek a? Ka pilnam Israel te luem puei ham ka uen rhoek te, 'Balae tih kai ham tah lamphai im na sak pawh,’ ka ti.
But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’
8 Te dongah ka sal David te, “Caempuei rhoek kah BOEIPA loh, 'Kai loh nang te boiva hnuk lamloh, tolkhoeng lamlom, ka pilnam soah neh Israel soah rhaengsang la om sak ham ni kan loh.
So then, tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of my people Israel.
9 Kho tom ah na caeh te namah taengah ka om tih na mikhmuh lamkah na thunkha boeih te ka khoe coeng. Te dongah na ming te diklai hlanglen rhoek kah a ming bangla a tanglue la ka khueh ni.
I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have destroyed all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.
10 Ka pilnam ham neh Israel ham hmuen ka khueh pah vetih anih te ka phung ni. Te vaengah amah hmuen la om vetih tlai voel mahpawh. Lamhma kah bangla anih phaep ham khaw dumlai koca rhoek loh koei uh mahpawh.
I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,
11 Te khohnin van lamloh ka pilnam Israel soah lai aka tloek la kang uen coeng. Te dongah na thunkha cungkuem khui lamloh nang te kan duem sak ni. BOEIPA te nang taengah a puen bangla BOEIPA loh nang ham im a thoh ni.
from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.
12 Na khohnin a cup vaengah na pa rhoek taengla na khoem uh ni. Namah hnukkah na tii na ngan, na bung khui lamkah aka thoeng te ka thoh vetih a ram te ka pai sak ni.
For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.
13 Ka ming ham te anih loh im a sak ni vetih a ram kah ngolkhoel te kumhal duela kacikngae sak ni.
He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.
14 Kamah he a napa la ka om vetih, anih khaw ka ca la om ni. A paihaeh vaengah anih te hlang kah caitueng neh, Adam ca rhoek kah tlohtat neh ka tluung ni.
I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. If he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod like people do, like a parent punishing a child.
15 Tedae ka sitlohnah he Saul taeng lamloh ka lat tih na mikhmuh lamloh ka khoe bangla anih taeng lamloh ka khoe mahpawh.
But I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of Saul who I removed before you.
16 Na im neh na ram tah na mikhmuh ah kumhal duela cak vetih na ngolkhoel khaw kumhal due a cikngae la om ni,” a ti,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
Your house and your kingdom will last forever; your dynasty will be secure forever.”
17 He ol boeih he olphong boeih vanbangla Nathan loh David taengla a thui pah.
This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
18 Te dongah manghai David te kun tih, BOEIPA hmaiah ngol. Te phoeiah, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw Kai he unim? he duela kai nang khuen ham akhaw, kai imkhui he me tlam a om.
Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?
19 Hekah he ka Boeipa Yahovah kah na mikhmuh ah rhaidaeng pueng atah na sal kah imkhui te na thui mai. Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw hlang kah olkhueng he tah hlavak om coeng.
God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. Is this your usual way of dealing with human beings, Lord God?
20 Namah taengah thui ham khaw David loh ba nen nim a thap khovoeh ve. Na sal te ka Boeipa Yahovah namah loh na ming.
What more can I, David, tell you? You know exactly what your servant is like, Lord God.
21 Na ol kong ah ni na lungbuei kah bangla lennah cungkuem na saii. He ni na sal na ming sak.
You're doing all this for me and you have explained it to me, your servant, and because of your promise and because it's what you want to do.
22 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah na len pai. Kaimih hna neh boeih ka yaak uh vanbangla namah phoeiah tah namah bangla aka om om pawh, Pathen tloe khaw om pawh.
How great you are, Lord God! There really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.
23 Diklai ah Israel bangla, na pilnam aka tluk namtu pakhat khaw unim aka om? Te tah a pilnam la lat ham neh amah ming la khueh ham Pathen cet coeng. Na lennah na saii ham dongah na khohmuen ham tah na pilnam mikhmuh ah rhih uh pai. Te tah namtom Egypt neh a pathen rhoek taeng lamloh namah hamla na lat.
Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations and their gods before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.
24 Na pilnam khaw namah ham, Israel khaw namah kah kumhal pilnam la na cikngae sak. Te dongah ni BOEIPA namah tah amih kah Pathen la na om pai.
You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
25 BOEIPA Pathen aw na sal ham neh a imkhui ham ol na thui coeng. Na thui bangla kumhal duela thoh puei lamtah saii laeh.
So now, Lord God, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and is confirmed forever. Please do as you have promised,
26 Te dongah BOEIPA Caempuei Pathen tah na ming kumhal duela len ti pai saeh. Israel so neh na sal David imkhui te na mikhmuh ah cikngae la a om thil ni.
and may your true nature be honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.
27 Israel kah Caempuei Pathen BOEIPA namah loh na sal kah a hna te na hnacueh pah tih, 'Nang hamla im ka sa ni, ' a ti. Te dongah ni na taengah hekah thangthuinah neh thangthui ham khaw na sal kah a lungbuei loh a hmuh.
Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to me, your servant, telling me, ‘I will build a house for you.’ That's why your servant has had the courage to pray this prayer to you.
28 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah tah Pathen la na om pai. Na ol khaw oltak la om tih, a then he ni na sal taengah na thui.
Lord Almighty, you are God! Your words are truth, and you are the one who has promised these good things to your servant.
29 Na sal imkhui te na mikhmuh ah kumhal om sak ham mulmet lamtah a yoethen sak. Ka Boeipa Yahovah na thui coeng dongah namah kah yoethennah neh na sal imkhui he kumhal duela a yoethen ni.
So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For you have spoken, Lord God, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”
