King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
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.
1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻae nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi hono fale, naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Natani ko e palōfita, “Vakai, ʻoku ou nofo au ʻi ha fale sita, ka ʻoku nofo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻi he lalo puipui pe .”
2Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
2Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Natani kia Tevita, “Ke ke fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ho loto; he ʻoku kau ʻae ʻOtua kiate koe.”
3¶ And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
3Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he pō pe ko ia, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Natani, ʻo pehē,
4Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD , Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
4“ʻAlu, ʻo fakahā kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE ʻikai te ke langa ha fale kiate au ke u nofo ai:
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 .
5He kuo ʻikai te u nofo ʻi ha fale talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni; ka kuo u feʻaluʻaki ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, pea mo e fale fakaʻāunofo.
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?
6ʻI he potu kotoa pē kuo u ʻalu ki ai mo ʻIsileli kātoa, kuo u lea fakasiʻisiʻi ki ha tokotaha ʻi he kau fakamaau ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu naʻaku fekauʻi he fafangaʻi ʻa hoku kakai, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou langa moʻoku ha fale sita?’
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:
7Ko ia foki, te ke lea ʻo pehē ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, naʻaku toʻo mai koe mei he nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga sipi, mei he muimui ki he fanga sipi, koeʻuhi ke ke pule ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli:
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.
8Pea kuo u ʻiate koe ʻi he potu fulipē kuo ke ʻalu ki ai, pea kuo u motuhi ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē mei ho ʻao, pea kuo u ngaohi moʻou ha hingoa ke tatau mo e hingoa ʻoe kakai ongoongo lahi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi māmani.
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,
9Pea te u vaheʻi foki ha potu mā ʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli, pea te u tō ʻakinautolu, pea te nau nofo ʻi honau potu, pea ʻe ʻikai toe hiki ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe ʻikai toe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻoe angakovi, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻi he kamataʻanga,
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.
10Pea talu mei he kuonga ko ia naʻaku fekauʻi ʻae kau fakamaau ke pule ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli. Ka te u fakamoʻulaloa foki ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē. Pea ʻoku ou tala foki kiate koe ʻe langa hake ho fale ʻoʻou ʻe Sihova.
11¶ And 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.
11Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ʻosi ange ʻa ho ngaahi ʻaho pea ke ʻalu ai ki ho ngaahi tamai, te u fokotuʻu ho hako ʻamui ʻiate koe, ʻakinautolu ʻe tupu mei ho ngaahi foha; pea te u fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa hono puleʻanga.
12He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
12Te ne langa ʻe ia ha fale moʻoku, pea te u fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke taʻengata.
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:
13Te u hoko ko ʻene tamai, pea te ne hoko ia ko hoku foha: pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻave ʻa ʻeku ʻaloʻofa meiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻave ia meiate ia naʻe muʻa ʻiate koe:
14But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
14Ka te u fokotuʻumaʻu ia ʻi hoku fale pea ʻi hoku puleʻanga ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo taʻengata.’”
15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
15Pea naʻe fai ʻae lea ʻa Natani kia Tevita ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, pea tatau mo e meʻa ha mai ni kotoa pē.
16¶ And 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?
16¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ne nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea ko e hā ʻa hoku fale ʻoʻoku, kuo ke ʻomi ai au ʻo aʻu mai ki heni?
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.
17Ka ko e meʻa siʻi eni ki ho fofonga, ʻe ʻOtua; he kuo ke folofola ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki ha kuonga fuoloa ʻaupito ʻe haʻu, pea kuo ke fai kiate au, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ha tangata ʻoku ʻeiki lahi.
18What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
18Ko e hā ha toe lea ʻe faʻa fai ʻe Tevita maʻae ongoongolelei ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki? He ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻe koe ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
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.
19ʻE Sihova, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻo hangē ko ho finangalo pe ʻoʻou, kuo ke fai ʻae meʻa lahi ni kotoa pē, ʻi hoʻo fakahā mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ni.
20O LORD , there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
20ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku tatau mo koe, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ka ko koe pe, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa homau telinga.
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?
21Pea kofaʻā ia ha puleʻanga ʻe taha ʻi māmani kuo tatau mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae ʻOtua ke huhuʻi ko hono kakai ʻoʻona, ke ngaohi koe ko e hingoa lahi mo fakamanavahē ʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene kapusi atu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mei he ʻao ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻakinautolu kuo ke huhuʻi mai mei ʻIsipite?
22For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD , becamest their God.
22He naʻa ke ngaohi ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ko ho kakai ʻoʻou ke taʻengata; pea ko koe, ʻE Sihova, naʻa ke hoko ko honau ʻOtua.
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.
23Ko ia foki, ʻE Sihova, tuku ʻae meʻa kuo ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hono fale, ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, pea ke fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola.
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.
24ʻIo, tuku ke fokotuʻumaʻu ia, koeʻuhi ke fakahikihikiʻi ʻa ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi ko e ʻOtua ia ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, ko e ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli:’ pea ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fale ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
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.
25He ko koe, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, kuo ke fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki te ke langa ha fale moʻona: ko ia kuo loto ai ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke lotu ʻi ho ʻao.
26And now, LORD , thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
26Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko e ʻOtua, pea kuo ke talaʻofa ʻaki ʻae lelei ni ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki:
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.
27Ko ia foki, ʻofa ke ke tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ho ʻao ia maʻuaipē; he ʻoku ke fai hono tāpuakiʻi ʻe koe, ʻE Sihova, pea ʻe monūʻia ia ʻo taʻengata.”
