¹And it came to pass when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest round about from all his enemies,

¹Huan, hichi ahi a, kumpipa a in a a om a, TOUPAN a kim a vel ua a melmate tengteng lak ua galmuang a a omsak nung in,

²that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of God dwells under curtains.

²Kumpipan zawlnei Nathan kiang ah, Tun, kei sidar sing in ah ka om a, himahleh Pathian bawm puanin lel ah a om a, a chi a.

³And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee.

³Huan, Nathan in kumpipa kiang ah, Na lungsim a om bangtak in vahih in, TOUPA na kiang ah a om na hi, a chi a.

⁴And it came to pass that night that the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, saying,

⁴Huan, hichi ahi a, huai zan mah in Nathan kiang ah,

⁵Go and say to my servant, to David, Thus saith Jehovah: Wilt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?

⁵Ka sikha David vahilh in, TOUPAN hichi in a chi, Ka omna ding in nang non lamsak sin maw?

⁶For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but I went about in a tent and in a tabernacle.

⁶Israel suante Aigupta gam a kipan ka pi khiak a kipan tutan in in ah ka omkei a, puan in ah leh biakbuk ah ka om zel zosek hi.

⁷In all my going about with all the children of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?

⁷Israel suante tengteng lak a ka paina tengteng ah leng, ka mi Israel vak ding a thu ka piak vaihawmmite kiang ah, Bangdia sidar sing a in hon lamsaklou chi in ka gen ngei ahia?

⁸And 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, over Israel;

⁸Huaiziak in ka sikha David kiang ah, Sepaihte TOUPAN hichi in a chi hi, Belam tatna mun a kipan belam na ven lai in ka mi Israel mite tung a heutu ding in ka hon la a:

⁹and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are on the earth.

⁹Huan, na hohna peuh ah na kiang ah ka om zel a, na ma ah na melmate ka hihmang zel a; lei a mi thupi takte min bang min thupi tak ka hon bawlsak ding.

¹⁰And I will appoint a place for my people, for 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 afflict them any more, as formerly,

¹⁰Huan, ka mi Israelte a ding in mun ka sep ding a, amau mun tuam a om ua a kisuan nawnlouhna ding un ka phut ding a; tumalam bang in gitlouhna taten a hih genthei nawnkei ding uh, ka mi Israelte tung a vaihawmmite ka seh lai bang leng ahi nawn samkei ding;

¹¹and since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I have given thee rest from all thine enemies; and Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house.

¹¹Huan, na melmate tengteng lak a kipan ka hon khawlsak hi. Huan, huailou him in TOUPAN inkuan a hon phuh ding chih a hon hilh hi.

¹²When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

¹²Na ni a bei a na pute kiang a na lup hun chiang in, na nung a na suan, na gil a gah ding ka tungding ding a, a gam ka hihkip ding.

¹³It is he who shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

¹³Aman kamin a ding in in a lam ding a, huan, a gam laltutphah khantawn a ding in ka hihkip ding.

¹⁴I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men;

¹⁴A pa ka hi ding a, amah ka tapa ahi ding a: thil a hihkhelh leh, mihing chiang leh mihing tate khetna in ka thunun ding;

¹⁵but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before thee.

¹⁵Himahleh na ma a ka suan mang Saula kiang a kipan a ka lak mang bang in ka chitna in zaw a paisankei ding hi.

¹⁶And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made firm for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

¹⁶Huan, na inkuan leh na gam khantawn a hihkip ngiungeu ahi ding a, na laltutphah lah khantawn a hihkip ahi ding, a chi, chi in TOUPA thu a hongtung.

¹⁷According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

¹⁷Huai thute tengteng bang zel leh huai kilakna bang geih in Nathan in David kiang ah a gen hi.

¹⁸And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

¹⁸Huchi in kumpipa David a lut a, TOUPA ma ah a tu a; TOUPA Pathian aw, kua ahia ka hih a, ka inkuante leng kua ahia a hih ua hichi tantan non pi?

¹⁹And yet this hath been a small thing in thy sight, Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, Lord Jehovah?

¹⁹TOUPA Pathian aw, huaite leng nang mitmuh in zaw thil bangmah thamlou zaw ahi ua; himahleh na sikha inkuan hong omdan ding thu kum tampi sung a ding in leng na gen khinta a; TOUPA Pathian aw, hiaite leng mihingte hihdan bang mah ahi.

²⁰And what can David say more to thee? for thou, Lord Jehovah, knowest thy servant.

²⁰David in na kiang ah bang ahia a gen nawn tuan ding? Na sikha lah na theivek ngal a, TOUPA Pathian aw.

²¹For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make thy servant know [it].

²¹Na sikha theih ding in na thu ziak leh nangmah lungtang bang zel in hiai thil thupi tak na hihta hi.

²²Wherefore thou art great, Jehovah Elohim; for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²²Huaiziak in TOUPA Pathian aw, nang zaw na thupi hi; ka bil ua ka zakdan un nang bang mahmah a omkei uh, nangmahlou ngal Pathian himhim a omsamkei hi.

²³And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

²³Aigupta gam a kipan leh nam chih a pathiante uh a kipan nang a dia na tatkhiak, na mite ma a nou a ding a thil thupi tak leh na gam a dia thi lauhuai tak hih ding leh amah min thupi tak bawl ding a Pathian in amah mite ding a a tatkhiak, na mi Israelte bang himhim khovel ah nam ding kua a oma?

²⁴And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.

²⁴Huchi in na mi Israelte khantawn a na mite a hong hih theihna ding un nang a din na hihkipta a; huan, TOUPA, nang bel a Pathian uh na honghita hi.

²⁵And now, Jehovah Elohim, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, fulfil it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

²⁵Huchi in TOUPA Pathian aw, na sikha tungtang thu leh a inkuante tungtang thu na gen khantawn a din hihkip inla, na gensa bang in hih in.

²⁶And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

²⁶Huan, Sepaihte TOUPA zaw Israelte Pathian ahi, chi in na min khantawn in pahtawi in om hen; huchi in na sikha David inkuante na ma ah hihkip in a om ding uh.

²⁷For thou, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

²⁷Sepaihte TOUPA aw, Israel Pathian, na sikha kiang ah, Inkuan kon phuhsak ding, chi in, lah na phuangta ngal a: huaiziak in na sikha in hiai thumna na kiang a tun ngam hi.

²⁸And now, Lord Jehovah, thou art that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;

²⁸TOUPA Pathian aw, nang zaw Pathian na hi a, na thu lah thutak ahi, huan, hiai thil hoih na sikha kiang ah na chiamta a:Huaiziak in na sikha inkuante na ma a khantawn a a om gige theihna ding un vualzawl in; TOUPA Pathian aw, nang lah na genta ngal a; huan, na vualzawlna a vualzawl in na sikha inkuante khantawn in om uhen, a chi a.

²⁹and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

²⁹Huaiziak in na sikha inkuante na ma a khantawn a a om gige theihna ding un vualzawl in; TOUPA Pathian aw, nang lah na genta ngal a; huan, na vualzawlna a vualzawl in na sikha inkuante khantawn in om uhen, a chi a.
