Umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uhlala ngaphansi kwezilenge, uDavide ufuna ukwakhela uJehova indlu
1Kwathi uDavida ehlezi endlini yakhe, uDavida wathi kuNathani umprofethi: Khangela, mina ngihlala endlini yesihlahla somsedari, kodwa umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uhlezi ngaphansi kwamakhetheni.
2UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho; ngoba uNkulunkulu unawe.
3Kwathi ngalobo busuku izwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuNathani, lathi:
4Hamba uyetshela inceku yami uDavida ukuthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Kawuyikungakhela indlu yokuhlala.
5Ngokuba angihlalanga endlini kusukela osukwini engakhuphula ngalo u-Israyeli kuze kube namuhla; kodwa basuka ethenteni baye kwelinye, kusukela kwelinye ithabhanekele ukuya kwelinye.
6Nomaphi lapho ngihamba no-Israyeli wonke ngakhuluma izwi komunye wabahluleli bakwa-Israyeli engabayala ukuba beluse abantu bami, ngathi: “Awungenzelanga ngani indlu yokhuni lomsedari na?
7Ngakho-ke, nanku okuzakutsho encekwini yami uDavida, uthi: Itsho njalo iN kosi yamabandla: Ngakukhupha esibayeni sezimvu, yebo, emva kwezimvu, ukuze ube ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.
8Nganginawe nomaphi lapho uya khona, ngachitha zonke izitha zakho phambi kwakho, ngakwenzela igama njengegama labakhulu emhlabeni.
9Ngiyakulungisela abantu bami u-Israyeli indawo, ngibatshale, bahlale endaweni yabo, bangabe besanyakaziswa; futhi abantwana bobubi abasayikubabhubhisa njengasekuqaleni;
10Kusukela kulesosikhathi engalaya ngaso ukuthi kube labahluleli phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli. Futhi ngizozithobisa zonke izitha zakho. Futhi ngiyakutshela ukuthi uJehova uzakukwakhela indlu.
11Kuyakuthi lapho izinsuku zakho seziphelile ukuba uye koyihlo, ngiyakuzala inzalo yakho emva kwakho eyakuvela emadodaneni akho; ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakhe.
12Nguye ozangakhela indlu, ngiqinise isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi kuze kube nininini.
13Mina ngizakuba nguyise, yona ibe yindodana yami;
14Kodwa ngizammisa endlini yami lembusweni wami kuze kube nininini, lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sizaqiniswa kuze kube nininini.
15Njengawo wonke lawa mazwi nangawo wonke lo mbono uNathani wakhuluma kuDavide.
16Inkosi uDavide yafika, yahlala phambi kukaJehova, yathi: “Ngingubani mina, Jehova Nkulunkulu, nendlu yami iyini ukuba ungilethe lapha na?
17Nokho kwakuyinto encane emehlweni akho, O Nkulunkulu; ngoba futhi wakhuluma isikhathi eside ngendlu yenceku yakho futhi wangibheka njengemfanelo yomuntu ophakeme, Jehova Nkulunkulu.
18UDavida angakhuluma ngani kuwe ngenxa yenceku yakho? ngoba uyayazi inceku yakho.
19O Jehova, ngenxa yenceku yakho nangokwenhliziyo yakho wenzile zonke lezi zinto ezinkulu ngokwenza zonke lezi zinto ezinkulu zaziwe.
20Jehova, akakho onjengawe, akakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho njengakho konke esikuzwileyo ngezindlebe zethu.
21Yisiphi isizwe emhlabeni esinjengabantu bakho u-Israyeli, uNkulunkulu ahamba ukubasihlengela bona sibe ngabantu bakhe, ukuze azenzele igama elikhulu nelesabekayo, ngokuxosha izizwe phambi kwabantu bakho owabakhulula eGibithe;?
22Ngoba wenzile abantu bakho uIsrayeli babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube nininini; wena Jehova waba nguNkulunkulu wabo.
23Ngakho-ke, Jehova, izwi olikhulumile ngenceku yakho nangendlu yayo malime kuze kube phakade, wenze njengokusho kwakho.
24Futhi makuqiniswe ukuthi igama lakho likhulu kuze kube phakade ngokuthi: UJehova Sebawoti unguNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; indlu yenceku yakho uDavide mayime phambi kwakho.
25Ngokuba wena, Nkulunkulu wami, ushilo encekwini yakho ukuthi uyakumakhela indlu; ngalokho inceku yakho ifumene enhliziyweni yayo ukukhuleka phambi kwakho.
26Manje, Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu, futhi uthembisile lokhu okuhle encekwini yakho.
27Kakube kuhle kuwe ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuze ibe phambi kobuso bakho kuze kube nininini; ngoba uyabusisa, Jehova, njalo lizabusiswa kuze kube nininini.
