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

¹¶ A, i te kingi e noho ana i tona whare, a ka meinga ia e Ihowa kia okioki i ona hoariri katoa a tawhio noa,

²that 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.`

²Na ka mea te kingi ki a Natana poropiti, Na, titiro, kei te noho nei ahau i te whare hita, ko te aaka ia a te Atua e noho ana i roto i te kakahu.

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

³Na ka mea a Natana ki te kingi, Haere, meatia nga mea katoa i tou ngakau; kei a koe hoki a Ihowa.

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

⁴¶ Na i taua po ano ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Natana, ka mea,

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?

⁵Haere, mea atu ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Mau koia e hanga he whare hei nohoanga moku?

⁶for 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.

⁶Kahore nei hoki ahau i noho whare no te ra ano i kawea mai ai e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa a taea noatia tenei ra; he noho haere ia toku i roto i te teneti, i te tapenakara.

⁷During 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?

⁷I oku haereerenga katoa i roto i nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, i puaki ranei tetahi kupu aku ki tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira i whakaritea e ahau hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, i mea ranei ahau, He aha koutou te hanga ai i tetahi whare hita moku?

⁸and 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;

⁸Na, tena kia penei tau ki aianei ki taku pononga ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Naku koe i tango mai i te nohoanga hipi, i te whai hipi, hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

⁹and 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,

⁹I a koe ano ahau i ou haerenga katoa, hautopea atu ana e ahau ou hoariri katoa i tou aroaro, a meinga ana koe e ahau hei ingoa nui, hei pera ano me te ingoa o nga mea nunui o te whenua.

¹⁰and 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,

¹⁰Na maku e whakarite he wahi mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, a ka whakatokia ratou e ahau kia noho ki to ratou ake wahi, kia kore e nekehia a muri ake nei; kia mutu ai te tukino a nga tamariki a te kino i a ratou, kei pera me to mua,

¹¹even 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.

¹¹Me to te wa i whakaritea ai e ahau he kaiwhakarite mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, i meinga ai hoki koe kia okioki i ou hoariri katoa. Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei ki a koe, Ma Ihowa e hanga he whare mou.

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;

¹²A ka tutuki ou ra, a ka moe ki ou matua, a ka whakaarahia e ahau i muri i a koe tou whanau e puta mai i roto i ou whekau, a ka whakapumautia tona kingitanga.

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

¹³Nana e hanga he whare mo toku ingoa, a ka whakapumautia e ahau te torona o tona kingitanga a ake ake.

¹⁴I 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,

¹⁴Ko ahau hei matua ki a ia, ko ia hei tama ki ahau. Ki te ngau ke tana mahi, ka whiu ahau i a ia ki te whiu a te tangata, ki nga whakapanga a nga tama a te tangata.

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

¹⁵E kore ia e mutu toku aroha ki a ia, e kore e pera me toku ki a Haora i peia atu na e ahau i tou aroaro.

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

¹⁶Ka tuturu tonu hoki tou whare me tou kingitanga a ake ake, ki tou aroaro: ka mau tonu tou torona a ake ake.

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

¹⁷Rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa, ki tenei kitenga katoa, nga kupu a Natana ki a Rawiri.

¹⁸And 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?

¹⁸¶ Katahi a Kingi Rawiri ka haere, a noho ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Ko wai ahau, e te Ariki, e Ihowa? he aha hoki toku whare, i kawea mai ai ahau e koe a mohoa noa nei?

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹He mea iti ano tenei ki tau titiro, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, na kua korerotia nei e koe te whare o tau pononga mo nga tau e maha. Ko ta te tangata tikanga ranei tenei, e te Ariki, e Ihowa?

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

²⁰Na ko te aha ake hei korerotanga ma Rawiri ki a koe? e mohio ana hoki koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki tau pononga.

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

²¹He whakaaro ki tau kupu, na tou ngakau ano, i mea ai koe i enei mea nunui katoa, kia mohio ai tau pononga.

²²Therefore 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.

²²Na he nui koe, e Ihowa, e te Atua: kahore hoki he rite mou, kahore atu hoki he Atua; ko koe anake: e rite ana ki nga mea katoa i rongo ai o matou taringa.

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?

²³Ko tehea iwi kotahi hoki o te whenua hei rite mo tau iwi, ara mo Iharaira, i haere nei te Atua ki te hoki hei iwi mana ake, hei mea ingoa mona, ki te mahi ano i nga mea nunui mou, i nga mea whakamataku hoki mo tou whenua, i te aroaro o tau iwi i hokona nei e koe mau i Ihipa, i nga tauiwi, i o ratou atua ano hoki?

²⁴Yea, 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.

²⁴Kua whakapumautia nei hoki e koe mau tau iwi, a Iharaira, hei iwi mau a ake ake: a ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, hei Atua mo ratou.

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;

²⁵Na whakamana hoki aianei, e Ihowa, e te Atua, te kupu i korerotia e koe mo tau pononga ratou ko tona whare a ake ake, meatia ano tau i korero ai.

²⁶And 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,

²⁶Kia whakanuia ano tou ingoa a ake ake, kia korerotia, Ko Ihowa o nga mano te Atua o Iharaira. Kia tuturu tonu ano te whare o tau pononga, o Rawiri, ki tou aroaro.

²⁷For 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;

²⁷Nau nei hoki, e Ihowa o nga mano, e te Atua o Iharaira, i whakapuaki mai ki tau pononga, i mea, Ka hanga e ahau he whare mou: koia te ngakau o tau pononga i anga ai ki te inoi i tenei inoi ki a koe.

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

²⁸Na, ko koe hoki, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, taua Atua nei, he pono hoki au kupu, a kua korerotia e koe tenei mea pai ki tau pononga.

²⁹And 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.`

²⁹Na reira kia pai koe ki te manaaki i te whare o tau pononga, kia pumau tonu ai ki tou aroaro: nau hoki e Ihowa, e te Atua, te kupu: a hei tau manaaki te manaaki mo te whare o tau pononga a ake ake.
