Injongo kaDavide yokwakha itempile ithintelwa nguNatan
1Ke kaloku kwathi, xa ahleliyo uDavide endlwini yakhe, wathi uDavide kuNatan umprofeti, Uyabona, mna ndihleli endlwini yemisedare;• ke yona ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova iphantsi kwamalengalenga. 2Wathi uNatan kuDavide, Konke okusentliziyweni yakho, kwenze, ngokuba uThixo unawe.
3Kwathi ngobo busuku lafika ilizwi likaThixo kuNatan, lisithi, 4Hamba uye kuthi kuDavide umkhonzi wam, Útsho uYehova ukuthi, Wena akusayi kundakhela ndlu yakuhlala. 5Ngokuba andihlalanga ndlwini, kususela kulaa mini ndawanyusayo ngayo amaSirayeli, unanamhla; ke ndisuka ententeni ndiye ententeni, ndisuke emnqubeni ndiye emnqubeni. 6Ekuhambeni konke, endakuhamba-hambayo namaSirayeli onke, khe ndathetha izwi na nakumnye kubagwebi bakwaSirayeli, endabawisela umthetho wokwalúsa abantu bam, lokuthi, Yini na ukuba ningàndakheli ndlu yamisedare?
7Ke ngoko wótsho kuDavide umkhonzi wam, ukuthi, Útsho uYehova wemikhosi, ukuthi, Ndákuthabatha edlelweni mna, ekulandeleni impahla emfutshane, ukuba ube yingànga yabantu bam amaSirayeli. 8Ndaba nawe kuko konke owahamba kuko, ndazinqumla zonke iintshaba zakho ebusweni bakho, ndakwenzela igama njengegama labakhulu abasehlabathini. 9Ndiya kubamisela indawo abantu bam amaSirayeli, ndibatyale, beme emanxuweni abo, bangabi sagungqa; oonyana bobutshijolo bangàbuyi babonákalise, njengamhla mnene; 10kususela kulaa mini ndabamisela abantu bam amaSirayeli abagwebi, ndazithoba zonke iintshaba zakho. Ke ndiyakuxelela ukuba uYehova uya kukwakhela indlu.
11Kothi, xa ithe yazaliseka imihla yakho yokuba uye kooyihlo, ndiyiphakamise emva kwakho imbewu yakhe, eya kuvela koonyana bakho, ndibuzinzise ukukumkani bakhe. 12Nguye oya kundakhela indlu, ndiyizinzise itrone yakhe, kude kuse ephakadeni. 13Mna ndiya kuba nguyise kuye, yena abe ngunyana kum. Inceba yam andiyi kuyisusa kuye, njengoko ndayisusayo kowayengaphambi kwakho. 14Ndiya kummisa endlwini yam, nasebukumkanini bam, kude kuse ephakadeni; itrone yakhe iya kuzinza kude kuse ephakadeni.
15Njengaloo mazwi onke, njengaloo mbono wonke, wenjenjalo uNatan ukuthetha kuDavide.
16Waya ukumkani uDavide, wahlala phambi koYehova, wathi, Ndingubani na, Yehova Thixo, iyintoni na indlu yam, ukuba ude undizise nalapha? 17Kuncinane oko ke emehlweni akho, Thixo; uthethé nangendlu yomkhonzi wakho wasingisa mgama; wandikhangela, wandenza umntu, wandinyusa, Yehova Thixo.
18Úsaya kongeza ntoni na uDavide, ukuthetha kuwe ngokusingisele ekuzukisweni komkhonzi wakho lo? Wena uyamazi umkhonzi wakho lo. 19Yehova, ubenzé ngenxa yomkhonzi wakho, nangokwentliziyo yakho, bonke obo bukhulu, ukwazisa ezi zenzo zonke zikhulu kangaka. 20Yehova, akukho unjengawe; akukho Thixo ngaphaya kwakho, njengoko konke sikuvileyo ngeendlebe zethu. 21Luluphi na uhlanga ehlabathini apha, olunjengabantu bakho amaSirayeli; awaya kuzikhululela lona uThixo, ukuba lube ngabantu, ukuba akumisele igama ngezenzo ezikhulu nezoyikekayo, ngokugxotha iintlanga phambi kwabantu bakho owabakhululayo eYiputa? 22Wabenza abantu bakho amaSirayeli baba ngabantu kuwe, kude kuse ephakadeni; wena, Yehova, waba nguThixo kubo.
23Kaloku, Yehova, ilizwi olithethileyo ngomkhonzi wakho, nangendlu yakhe, malibe yinyaniso kude kuse ephakadeni, wénze njengoko uthethileyo; 24libe yinyaniso, likhule igama lakho kude kuse ephakadeni, kusithiwa, UYehova wemikhosi, uThixo wamaSirayeli, nguThixo kuSirayeli; indlu kaDavide, umkhonzi wakho, iqinile phambi kwakho. 25Ngokuba wena, Thixo wam, ukutyhilile ezindlebeni zomkhonzi wakho, ukuba ùya kumakhela indlu. Ngenxa yoko umkhonzi wakhe ufumene intliziyo yokuthandaza phambi kwakho. 26Kaloku, Yehova, unguye uThixo wena; uzithethile ke ngomkhonzi wakho ezi zinto zilungileyo. 27Kaloku makukholeke kuwe ukuyisikelela indlu yomkhonzi wakho, ukuba ihlale ihleli phambi kwakho ngonaphakade; ngokuba wena, Yehova, úyisikelele into, yosikeleleka ke ngonaphakade.
