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.

¹Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

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

²Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.

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

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

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

⁴Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

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

⁵For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

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?

⁶Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

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;

⁷Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

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.

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

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;

⁹Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

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.

¹⁰And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.

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.

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

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

¹²He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.

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;

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

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

¹⁴But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

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

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

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?

¹⁶And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

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.

¹⁷And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

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.

¹⁸What can David speak more to thee for the honor of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

²²For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

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

²³Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.

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.

²⁴Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established 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.

²⁵For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.

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.

²⁶And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

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.

²⁷Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
