4But dat nite, God kon tell Profet Natan,

5“Make yu go tell David wey bi my savant sey, ‘Nor bi yu go build temple for mi wey I go stay. 6From di time wey I save Israel pipol from Egypt till naw, I neva stay for temple; na only tent I dey stay and I dey waka from one place to anoda. 7As I dey follow Israel pipol travel rish, I neva tell any leader wey I choose before sey make e use cedar build temple for mi.’

8So make yu tell David wey bi my savant sey, di Oga God sey, ‘I take yu komot from where yu dey kare for animal kon make yu rule Israel wey bi my pipol. 9I dey follow yu go anywhere wey yu dey go and I dey make yu win all yor enemies as yu dey fight. I go make evribody know yu for evriwhere, just as dem know all di big leaders for di world. 10I don choose place for my pipol Israel and I don put dem for where dem go stay and nobody go opress dem again. 11Bad pipol dey opress dem since dem kom dis land, but e nor go happen again.

I promise sey, I go make yu win all yor enemies and I go give yu many shidren. 12Wen yu die and yu don go join yor grand-grand papa, I go make one among yor shidren king and I go make en kingdom strong. 13Na-im go build temple for mi and I go make sure sey en kingdom go dey forever. 14I go bi en papa and e go bi my pikin. Wen e do wrong, I go ponish am as papa dey ponish pikin. 15I nor go take my love and favor from am just as I take am from Saul, wey I remove so dat David go bi king. 16En house and kingdom go dey before mi forever; en family go rule forever.’ ”
