¹And it came to pass as David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah under curtains.

¹Huan hichi ahi a, David a ina a om laiin jawlnei Nathan kiangah Davidin, Ngaiin, kei sadar sing in ah ka oma, himahleh TOUPA thukhunna bawm puanjak nuai maimahah a oma, a chi a.

²And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee.

²Huan Nathanin David kiangah, Na lungsima na vei bang takin hih lechin ake; Pathian na kiangah lah a om ngala, a chi a.

³And it came to pass that night that the word of God came to Nathan saying,

³Huan huai jan mahin hichi ahi a, Nathan kiangah Pathian thu a hong tunga,

⁴Go and say to David my servant, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in;

⁴Ka sikha David vahilhin, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Ka omna dingin nang in na honlamsak ding ahi kei;

⁵for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but I have been from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].

⁵Israel suante Aigupta gam akipan ka pi khiak akipan tutanin in ah ka om keia; puanin leh biakbuk ah ka om jel jaw hi.

⁶In all my going about with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?

⁶Israelte tengteng toh ka paina himhim uah leng ka mite vak dinga thu ka piak Israelte vaihawmmite kiangah, Bangdia sidar sing in hon lamsak lou? Ka chi ngei ahia?

⁷And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel;

⁷Huaijiakin ka sikha David kiangah hichiin genin, Sepaihte TOUPAN hichiin a chi ahi, Belam tatna mun akipan na belam ching lai ka mi Israelte tunga kumpipa dingin ka honla a;

⁸and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name, like unto the name of the great men that are on the earth.

⁸Huan, na paina peuhmahah na kinangah ka om jela, na melmate ka honhihmansak jel hi; leia mi thupi mahmahte bangin min thupi tak ka honbawlsak sin hi.

⁹And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as formerly,

⁹Huan ka mi Israelte adingin mun ka sep dinga, kisuan nawn lou-a amau tuam muna a om gige theihna ding un amau ka phut ding hi;

¹⁰and since the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will subdue all thine enemies; and I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house.

¹⁰Tumaa ka mi Israelte tunga vaihawmmite ka seh laia thulimlouhna taten a hih sek bang un a hihgenthei nawn sam kei ding uh; na melma tengteng leng ka zahlaksak lai ding hi. Huan huailou leng TOUPAN inkuan a hondinsak ding chih ka honhilh ahi.

¹¹And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

¹¹Huan na ni a beia, na pi leh pute kianga na pai hun chiangin, hichi ahi dinga, na nunga na suan, na tate laka mi ka tungding dinga; huan a gam ka hihkip ding hi.

¹²It is he who shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

¹²Aman in a honlamsak dinga; huan a laltutphah khantawnin ka hih kip ding.

¹³I will be his father, and he shall be my son; and I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;

¹³Huchiin a pa ka hi dinga, amah ka tapa ahi dinga; ka chitna na maa ompa akipan a ka lak mang bangin, amah jaw ka lak mang sak kei ding hi;

¹⁴and I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.

¹⁴Ka in ah leh ka gamah amah khantawnin ka ding kip sak digna, huan a laltutphah khantawna hihkip ahi ding hi, chiin.

¹⁵According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

¹⁵Huai thute tengteng leh huai kilakna bang geihin Nathanin David kiangah a gen hi.

¹⁶And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

¹⁶Huchiin kumpipa David bel a luta, TOUPA maah a tu-a, Aw TOUPA Pathian, kua ahia ka hiha, ka inkote leng kua ahia a hih ua, hichi tantan nonpi?

¹⁷And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, O God; and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim.

¹⁷Aw Pathian, huaite leng nang mitmuhin thil neuchik phet jaw ahi a; himahleh aw TOUPA Pathian, na sikha inkuan hongom danding thu kum tampi sunga ding na nagentaa, mi lian bangin na honsep laia, aw TOUPA Pathian.

¹⁸What can David [say] more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant.

¹⁸Na sikha pahtawia a om tungtang thu-ah Davidin na kiangah bang a gen tuan nawn mahmah dia? na sikha lah na theitel mahmah ngala.

¹⁹Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

¹⁹Aw TOUPA na sikha jiakin nangmah lungsima pawt bang jelin hiai thil thupi mahmah theisak dingin thil thupi mahmahte na hita hi.

²⁰Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²⁰Aw TOUPA ka ka theih un nang bang mahmah a om kei ua, nang loungal Pathian himhim leng a om sam kei hi.

²¹And who is like thy people Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, which thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

²¹Aigupta gam akipan na tatkhiaka na mite maa nam dangte zahlaksaka, thil thupi tak leh lauhuai tak hiha min thupi tak bawl sak dinga Pathianin amah mite adia a hontatkhiak na mi Israelte bang mahmah khovel ah nam dang kua a om ua?

²²And thy people Israel hast thou made thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.

²²Na mi Israelte khantawna na mite dingin lah na nabawlta ngala; nang TOUPA a Pathian uh na nahita.

²³And now, Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.

²³Huchiin aw TOUPA, na sikha tungtang thu leh a inkote tungtang thu na gen khantawn adin hihkip inla, na gensa bangin hihin.

²⁴Let it even be established, and let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, is God to Israel; and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

²⁴Huan khantawnin na min hihkip leh hihletin om hen, Sepaihte TOUPA Israel Pathian, Israelte adia Pathian mahmah ahi, na sikha David inkote na maah hihkipin om uhen, chiin.

²⁵For thou, my God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath thy servant found [in his heart] to pray before thee.

²⁵Aw nang ka Pathian, na sikha kiangah inkuan na dingsak ding chih na na phuangta ngala; huaijiakin na sikhain na kiangah ka thum ngam lai ahi.

²⁶And now, Jehovah, thou art that God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;

²⁶Aw TOUPA, nang jaw Pathian na hi a, hiai thil hoih na sikha na nachiamtaa,Na sikha inkote na maa khantawn a om gige theihna ding un nana vualjawltaa; aw TOUPA, na vualjawl jaw khantawn vualjawlna ahi, a chi a.

²⁷and now, let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Jehovah, hast blessed [it], and it shall be blessed for ever.

²⁷Na sikha inkote na maa khantawn a om gige theihna ding un nana vualjawltaa; aw TOUPA, na vualjawl jaw khantawn vualjawlna ahi, a chi a.
