1It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is 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.
2Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”
2Huan Nathanin David kiangah, Na lungsima na vei bang takin hih lechin ake; Pathian na kiangah lah a om ngala, a chi a.
3It happened the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
3Huan huai jan mahin hichi ahi a, Nathan kiangah Pathian thu a hong tunga,
4“Go and tell David my servant, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You shall 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 lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent 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 places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
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?
7“Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should 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;
8I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in 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.
9I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,
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 from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you 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.
11It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your 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.
12He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
12Aman in a honlamsak dinga; huan a laltutphah khantawnin ka hih kip ding.
13I will be his father, and he shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;
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;
14but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever.”’”
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 Nathan spoke to David.
15Huai thute tengteng leh huai kilakna bang geihin Nathanin David kiangah a gen hi.
16Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
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?
17This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the estate of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.
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 yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your 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.
19Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked 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.
20Yahweh, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, 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.
21What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeem 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?
22For your people Israel you made your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
22Na mi Israelte khantawna na mite dingin lah na nabawlta ngala; nang TOUPA a Pathian uh na nahita.
23Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
23Huchiin aw TOUPA, na sikha tungtang thu leh a inkote tungtang thu na gen khantawn adin hihkip inla, na gensa bangin hihin.
24Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’
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 you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.
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.
26Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your 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.
27Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
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.
