II Samuel 7

And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

A, i te kingi e noho ana i tona whare, a ka meinga ia e Ihowa kia okioki i ona hoariri katoa a tawhio noa,

That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Natana poropiti, Na, titiro, kei te noho nei ahau i te whare hita, ko te aaka ia a te Atua e noho ana i roto i te kakahu.

And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.

Na ka mea a Natana ki te kingi, Haere, meatia nga mea katoa i tou ngakau; kei a koe hoki a Ihowa.

And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,

Na i taua po ano ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Natana, ka mea,

Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

Haere, mea atu ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Mau koia e hanga he whare hei nohoanga moku?

Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

Kahore nei hoki ahau i noho whare no te ra ano i kawea mai ai e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa a taea noatia tenei ra; he noho haere ia toku i roto i te teneti, i te tapenakara.

In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?

I oku haereerenga katoa i roto i nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, i puaki ranei tetahi kupu aku ki tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira i whakaritea e ahau hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, i mea ranei ahau, He aha koutou te hanga ai i tetahi whare hita moku?

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

Na, tena kia penei tau ki aianei ki taku pononga ki a Rawiri, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, Naku koe i tango mai i te nohoanga hipi, i te whai hipi, hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

I a koe ano ahau i ou haerenga katoa, hautopea atu ana e ahau ou hoariri katoa i tou aroaro, a meinga ana koe e ahau hei ingoa nui, hei pera ano me te ingoa o nga mea nunui o te whenua.

Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

Na maku e whakarite he wahi mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, a ka whakatokia ratou e ahau kia noho ki to ratou ake wahi, kia kore e nekehia a muri ake nei; kia mutu ai te tukino a nga tamariki a te kino i a ratou, kei pera me to mua,

And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

Me to te wa i whakaritea ai e ahau he kaiwhakarite mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, i meinga ai hoki koe kia okioki i ou hoariri katoa. Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei ki a koe, Ma Ihowa e hanga he whare mou.

And when thy days be 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.

A ka tutuki ou ra, a ka moe ki ou matua, a ka whakaarahia e ahau i muri i a koe tou whanau e puta mai i roto i ou whekau, a ka whakapumautia tona kingitanga.

He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

Nana e hanga he whare mo toku ingoa, a ka whakapumautia e ahau te torona o tona kingitanga a ake ake.

I 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 children of men:

Ko ahau hei matua ki a ia, ko ia hei tama ki ahau. Ki te ngau ke tana mahi, ka whiu ahau i a ia ki te whiu a te tangata, ki nga whakapanga a nga tama a te tangata.

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

E kore ia e mutu toku aroha ki a ia, e kore e pera me toku ki a Haora i peia atu na e ahau i tou aroaro.

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

Ka tuturu tonu hoki tou whare me tou kingitanga a ake ake, ki tou aroaro: ka mau tonu tou torona a ake ake.

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

Rite tonu ki enei kupu katoa, ki tenei kitenga katoa, nga kupu a Natana ki a Rawiri.

Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

Katahi a Kingi Rawiri ka haere, a noho ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Ko wai ahau, e te Ariki, e Ihowa? he aha hoki toku whare, i kawea mai ai ahau e koe a mohoa noa nei?

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

He mea iti ano tenei ki tau titiro, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, na kua korerotia nei e koe te whare o tau pononga mo nga tau e maha. Ko ta te tangata tikanga ranei tenei, e te Ariki, e Ihowa?

And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.

Na ko te aha ake hei korerotanga ma Rawiri ki a koe? e mohio ana hoki koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ki tau pononga.

For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

He whakaaro ki tau kupu, na tou ngakau ano, i mea ai koe i enei mea nunui katoa, kia mohio ai tau pononga.

Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Na he nui koe, e Ihowa, e te Atua: kahore hoki he rite mou, kahore atu hoki he Atua; ko koe anake: e rite ana ki nga mea katoa i rongo ai o matou taringa.

And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

Ko tehea iwi kotahi hoki o te whenua hei rite mo tau iwi, ara mo Iharaira, i haere nei te Atua ki te hoki hei iwi mana ake, hei mea ingoa mona, ki te mahi ano i nga mea nunui mou, i nga mea whakamataku hoki mo tou whenua, i te aroaro o tau iwi i hokona nei e koe mau i Ihipa, i nga tauiwi, i o ratou atua ano hoki?

For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.

Kua whakapumautia nei hoki e koe mau tau iwi, a Iharaira, hei iwi mau a ake ake: a ko koe hoki, e Ihowa, hei Atua mo ratou.

And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

Na whakamana hoki aianei, e Ihowa, e te Atua, te kupu i korerotia e koe mo tau pononga ratou ko tona whare a ake ake, meatia ano tau i korero ai.

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

Kia whakanuia ano tou ingoa a ake ake, kia korerotia, Ko Ihowa o nga mano te Atua o Iharaira. Kia tuturu tonu ano te whare o tau pononga, o Rawiri, ki tou aroaro.

For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

Nau nei hoki, e Ihowa o nga mano, e te Atua o Iharaira, i whakapuaki mai ki tau pononga, i mea, Ka hanga e ahau he whare mou: koia te ngakau o tau pononga i anga ai ki te inoi i tenei inoi ki a koe.

And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

Na, ko koe hoki, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, taua Atua nei, he pono hoki au kupu, a kua korerotia e koe tenei mea pai ki tau pononga.

Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

Na reira kia pai koe ki te manaaki i te whare o tau pononga, kia pumau tonu ai ki tou aroaro: nau hoki e Ihowa, e te Atua, te kupu: a hei tau manaaki te manaaki mo te whare o tau pononga a ake ake.
