Isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu loDavida

1Kwasekusithi lapho inkosi yayihlezi endlini yayo, leNkosi isiyiphumuzile inhlangothi zonke ezitheni zayo zonke a, 2inkosi yathi kuNathani umprofethi b: Akubone, mina ngihlala endlini yemisedari c, kodwa umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uhlala phakathi kwamakhetheni d. 3UNathani wasesithi enkosini: Hamba wenze konke okusenhliziyweni yakho, ngoba iNkosi ilawe e.

4Kodwa kwathi ngalobobusuku, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuNathani lisithi: 5Hamba uthi encekwini yami, kuDavida: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Wena uzangakhela yini indlu ukuze ngihlale kiyo f? 6Ngoba kangizange ngihlale endlini kusukela osukwini engenyusa ngalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli eGibhithe kuze kube lamuhla g, kodwa bengihamba ethenteni lethabhanekeleni h. 7Kuzo zonke izindawo engihambe kuzo labo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngake ngakhuluma ilizwi yini kwesinye sezizwe zakoIsrayeli i, engasilaya ukwelusa abantu bami uIsrayeli ngisithi j: Kungani lingangakhelanga indlu yemisedari? 8Ngakho-ke uzakutsho njalo encekwini yami, kuDavida, uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Mina ngakuthatha k esibayeni sezimvu, ekulandeleni izimvu, ukuba ngumbusi phezu kwabantu bami, phezu kukaIsrayeli l; 9ngangilawe loba ngaphi lapho oya khona, ngaquma zonke izitha zakho ngaphambi kwakho m; ngakwenzela ibizo elikhulu njengebizo labakhulu abasemhlabeni n. 10Njalo ngizabamisela indawo abantu bami uIsrayeli, ngibagxumeke ukuze bahlale endaweni yabo o, bangabe besanyikinyeka p; labantwana benkohlakalo kabasayikubahlupha, njengakuqala, 11njalo kusukela osukwini engalaya ngalo abahluleli phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli q; ngikuphumuze ezitheni zakho zonke r. Futhi iNkosi iyakutshela ukuthi iNkosi izakwenzela indlu s.

12Lapho insuku zakho sezigcwalisekile t, usulele laboyihlo u, ngizamisa inzalo yakho emva kwakho, ezaphuma emibilini yakho, ngiqinise umbuso wayo v. 13Yona izakwakhela ibizo lami indlu w; njalo ngizaqinisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wayo kuze kube nininini x. 14Mina ngizakuba nguyise, layo ibe yindodana yami y; ezakuthi uba isenza okubi, ngizayijezisa ngentonga yabantu, langemivimvinya yabantwana babantu z. 15Kodwa umusa wami kawuyikusuka kiyo njengalokho ngawususa kuSawuli engamsusa ngaphambi kwakho aa. 16Lendlu yakho lombuso wakho kuzaqiniswa kuze kube nininini phambi kwami; isihlalo sakho sobukhosi sizaqiniswa kuze kube nininini ab. 17Njengokwalamazwi wonke lanjengokwalo wonke lo umbono, ngokunjalo uNathani wakhuluma kuDavida ac.

18Yasingena inkosi uDavida, yahlala phambi kweNkosi, yathi: Ngingubani mina, Nkosi Jehova, lendlu yami iyini, ukuthi ungifikise kuze kube lapha ad? 19Kanti lokhu kusekuncinyane emehlweni akho, Nkosi Jehova; usukhulumile futhi ngendlu yenceku yakho ngokwesikhathi esikhatshana; lalokhu yindlela yabantu, Nkosi Jehova ae. 20Pho, uDavida angabe esengezelela ngokuthini kuwe? Ngoba wena uyayazi inceku yakho, Nkosi Jehova af. 21Ngenxa yelizwi lakho lanjengokwenhliziyo yakho wenzile zonke lezizinto ezinkulu ukuze uzazise inceku yakho. 22Ngakho umkhulu, Nkosi Jehova ag; ngoba kakho onjengawe, njalo kakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho ah, njengakho konke esikuzwileyo ngendlebe zethu. 23Yisiphi-ke isizwe esisodwa emhlabeni esinjengabantu bakho, njengoIsrayeli, uNkulunkulu owaya ukuzihlengela sona ukuba ngabantu ai, njalo wazenzela ibizo, walenzela izinto ezinkulu lezesabekayo aj, kusenzelwa ilizwe lakho, phambi kwabantu bakho, owazihlengela bona eGibhithe, ezizweni lakubonkulunkulu bazo ak? 24Wasuziqinisela abantu bakho uIsrayeli ukuze babe ngabantu kuwe kuze kube nininini; lawe Nkosi usube nguNkulunkulu wabo al. 25Khathesi-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, ilizwi olikhulume ngenceku yakho langendlu yayo liqinise kuze kube nininini, wenze njengokukhuluma kwakho am. 26Njalo kalibe likhulu ibizo lakho kuze kube nininini, kuthiwe: INkosi yamabandla inguNkulunkulu phezu kukaIsrayeli; lendlu yenceku yakho uDavida imiswe phambi kwakho. 27Ngoba wena, Nkosi yamabandla, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, wembule endlebeni yenceku yakho, usithi: Ngizakwakhela indlu. Ngakho inceku yakho ithole enhliziyweni yayo ukuthi ikhuleke lumkhuleko kuwe an. 28Khathesi-ke, Nkosi Jehova, wena ungulowoNkulunkulu, lamazwi akho aliqiniso; ukhulume encekwini yakho lokhu okuhle. 29Ngakho-ke akuvume ubusise indlu yenceku yakho ukuze ibe phambi kwakho kuze kube nininini; ngoba wena, Nkosi Jehova, ukhulumile; langesibusiso sakho indlu yenceku yakho izabusiswa kuze kube nininini ao.
