¹It happened, when the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

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 cedar, but the ark of God dwells within 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.

³Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart; for Yahweh is with you.”

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.

⁴It happened the same night, that the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,

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

⁵“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Shall you 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 lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around 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 places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’

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?

⁸Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should 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:

⁹I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in 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.

¹⁰I 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 afflict them any more, as at the first,

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 as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you 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 your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your 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.

¹³He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

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 commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children 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 loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

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.

¹⁶Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.”’”

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 Nathan spoke to David.

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

¹⁸Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

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?

¹⁹This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this after the way of men, Lord Yahweh!

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.

²⁰What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.

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

²¹For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

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

²²Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, 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.

²³What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeem to yourself out of 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?

²⁴You established for yourself your people Israel to be a people to you forever; and you, Yahweh, became 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.

²⁵Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

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.

²⁶Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.’

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 you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

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.

²⁸“Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your 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.

²⁹Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”

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.
