1 IziKronike 17 Umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uhlala ngaphansi kwezilenge, uDavide ufuna ukwakhela uJehova indlu

¹ Kwathi uDavida ehlezi endlini yakhe, uDavida wathi kuNathani umprofethi: Khangela, mina ngihlala endlini yesihlahla somsedari, kodwa umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova uhlezi ngaphansi kwamakhetheni.

² UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: Yenza konke okusenhliziyweni yakho; ngoba uNkulunkulu unawe.

³ Kwathi ngalobo busuku izwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuNathani, lathi:

⁴ Hamba uyetshela inceku yami uDavida ukuthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Kawuyikungakhela indlu yokuhlala.

⁵ Ngokuba angihlalanga endlini kusukela osukwini engakhuphula ngalo u-Israyeli kuze kube namuhla; kodwa basuka ethenteni baye kwelinye, kusukela kwelinye ithabhanekele ukuya kwelinye.

⁶ Nomaphi lapho ngihamba no-Israyeli wonke ngakhuluma izwi komunye wabahluleli bakwa-Israyeli engabayala ukuba beluse abantu bami, ngathi: “Awungenzelanga ngani indlu yokhuni lomsedari na?

⁷ Ngakho-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.

⁸ Nganginawe nomaphi lapho uya khona, ngachitha zonke izitha zakho phambi kwakho, ngakwenzela igama njengegama labakhulu emhlabeni.

⁹ Ngiyakulungisela abantu bami u-Israyeli indawo, ngibatshale, bahlale endaweni yabo, bangabe besanyakaziswa; futhi abantwana bobubi abasayikubabhubhisa njengasekuqaleni;

¹⁰ Kusukela kulesosikhathi engalaya ngaso ukuthi kube labahluleli phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli. Futhi ngizozithobisa zonke izitha zakho. Futhi ngiyakutshela ukuthi uJehova uzakukwakhela indlu.

¹¹ Kuyakuthi lapho izinsuku zakho seziphelile ukuba uye koyihlo, ngiyakuzala inzalo yakho emva kwakho eyakuvela emadodaneni akho; ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakhe.

¹² Nguye ozangakhela indlu, ngiqinise isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi kuze kube nininini.

¹³ Mina ngizakuba nguyise, yona ibe yindodana yami;

¹⁴ Kodwa ngizammisa endlini yami lembusweni wami kuze kube nininini, lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sizaqiniswa kuze kube nininini.

¹⁵ Njengawo wonke lawa mazwi nangawo wonke lo mbono uNathani wakhuluma kuDavide.

¹⁶ Inkosi uDavide yafika, yahlala phambi kukaJehova, yathi: “Ngingubani mina, Jehova Nkulunkulu, nendlu yami iyini ukuba ungilethe lapha na?

¹⁷ Nokho kwakuyinto encane emehlweni akho, O Nkulunkulu; ngoba futhi wakhuluma isikhathi eside ngendlu yenceku yakho futhi wangibheka njengemfanelo yomuntu ophakeme, Jehova Nkulunkulu.

¹⁸ UDavida angakhuluma ngani kuwe ngenxa yenceku yakho? ngoba uyayazi inceku yakho.

¹⁹ O Jehova, ngenxa yenceku yakho nangokwenhliziyo yakho wenzile zonke lezi zinto ezinkulu ngokwenza zonke lezi zinto ezinkulu zaziwe.

²⁰ Jehova, akakho onjengawe, akakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakho njengakho konke esikuzwileyo ngezindlebe zethu.

²¹ Yisiphi 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;?

²² Ngoba wenzile abantu bakho uIsrayeli babe ngabantu bakho kuze kube nininini; wena Jehova waba nguNkulunkulu wabo.

²³ Ngakho-ke, Jehova, izwi olikhulumile ngenceku yakho nangendlu yayo malime kuze kube phakade, wenze njengokusho kwakho.

²⁴ Futhi makuqiniswe ukuthi igama lakho likhulu kuze kube phakade ngokuthi: UJehova Sebawoti unguNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; indlu yenceku yakho uDavide mayime phambi kwakho.

²⁵ Ngokuba wena, Nkulunkulu wami, ushilo encekwini yakho ukuthi uyakumakhela indlu; ngalokho inceku yakho ifumene enhliziyweni yayo ukukhuleka phambi kwakho.

²⁶ Manje, Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu, futhi uthembisile lokhu okuhle encekwini yakho.

²⁷ Kakube kuhle kuwe ukubusisa indlu yenceku yakho ukuze ibe phambi kobuso bakho kuze kube nininini; ngoba uyabusisa, Jehova, njalo lizabusiswa kuze kube nininini.
