撒母耳記下 7
1 那時，君王住在宮殿裏，上主賜他安享太平，不為四周仇敵所侵擾，
And it was that he dwelt the king in house his and Yahweh he had given rest to him from round about from all enemies his.
2 君王遂對納堂先知說：「請看，我住在香柏木的宮殿，而天主的約櫃卻在帳幕內。」
And he said the king to Nathan the prophet see please I [am] dwelling in a house of cedar and [the] ark of God [is] dwelling in [the] midst of the tent curtain.
3 納堂回答君王說：「你心內打算的，你全可照辦! 因為上主與你同在。」
And he said Nathan to the king all that [is] in heart your go do for Yahweh [is] with you.
4 但是，當夜就有上主的話傳於納堂說：「
And it was in the night that and it came [the] word of Yahweh to Nathan saying.
5 你去告訴我的僕人達味，上主這樣說：你要建築一座殿宇給我居住嗎﹖
Go and you will say to servant my to David thus he says Yahweh ¿ you will you build for me a house to dwell in I.
6 我自從埃及領以色列子民上來那一天起，直到今日，從沒有居住過殿宇，只隨帳棚和會幕漂泊。
For not I have dwelt in a house from [the] day brought up I [the] people of Israel from Egypt and until the day this and I have been going about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 我與去色列子民同行時，我何嘗向我立為牧養我民以色列的一個民長說過：你們為什麼不為我建造一座香柏木的殿宇﹖
In every where I went about among all [the] people of Israel ¿ a word did I speak with one of [the] tribes of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd people my Israel saying why? not have you built for me a house of cedars.
8 現在，你要對我的僕人達味說：萬軍的上主這樣說：是我揀選你離開牧場，離開放羊的事，作我民以色列的領袖。
And therefore thus you will say to servant my to David thus he says Yahweh of hosts I I took you from the pasture from after the flock to be ruler over people my over Israel.
9 你不論到那裏去，我總是偕同你，由你面前消滅你的一切仇敵；我要使你成名，像世上出名的大人物；
And I have been with you in every where you went and I cut off! all enemies your from before you and I will make for you a name great like [the] name of the great [people] who [are] on the earth.
10 我要把我民以色列安置在一個地方，裁培他們，在那裏久住，再也不受驚恐，再也不像先前受惡人的欺壓，
And I will appoint a place for people my for Israel and I will plant it and it will dwell in it and not it will be agitated again and not they will repeat sons of injustice to afflict it just as at the former [time].
11 有如自從我為我民以色列立了民長以來一樣；我要賜他們安寧，不受仇敵的騷擾。上主也告訴你：他要為你建立家室。
And from the day when I appointed judges over people my Israel and I will give rest to you from all enemies your and he tells to you Yahweh that a house he will make for you Yahweh.
12 當你的日子滿期與你祖先長眠時，我必在你以後興起一個後裔，即你所生的兒子；我必鞏固他的王權。
If - they will be completed days your and you will lie down with ancestors your and I will raise up offspring your after you who he will come out from inward parts your and I will establish kingdom his.
13 是他要為我的名建立殿宇；我要鞏固他的王位直到永遠。
He he will build a house for name my and I will establish [the] throne of kingdom his until perpetuity.
14 我要作他的父親，他要作我的兒子；若是他犯了罪，我必用人用的鞭，世人用的棍，來懲戒他；
I I will become of him a father and he he will become of me a son who when does wrong he and I will reprove him with a rod of men and with wounds of children of humankind.
15 但我決不由他收回我的恩情，就如在你以前由撒烏耳收回我的恩情一樣。
And covenant loyalty my not it will depart from him just as I removed [it] from with Saul whom I removed from to before you.
16 你的家室和王權，在我面前永遠存在，你的王位也永遠堅定不移。」
And it will be established house your and kingdom your until perpetuity before you throne your it will be established until perpetuity.
17 納堂便照這一切話，將整個啟示告訴了達味。
According to all the words these and according to all the vision this so he spoke Nathan to David.
18 達味王就進去，端坐在上主面前說：「我主上主! 我是誰﹖我的家族又算什麼，你竟領我到了這個地步﹖
And he went the king David and he sat before Yahweh and he said who? [am] I O Lord Yahweh and who? [is] house my that you have brought me to here.
19 我主上主! 這在你眼中還以為太小，而你又說明了你僕人的家族未來的遠景，並將此事顯示給我這個人，我主上主!
And it was small yet this [thing] in view your O Lord Yahweh and you have spoken also concerning [the] house of servant your from distant [time] and this [is] [the] manner of humankind O Lord Yahweh.
20 達味還對你說什麼﹖我主上主! 你認識你的僕人。
And what? will he increase David again to speak to you and you you know servant your O Lord Yahweh.
21 你為了你的預許，按照你的心意，成就了這些偉大的事，為叫你的僕人認識清楚。
For sake of word your and according to own heart your you have done all the greatness this to make know [it] servant your.
22 我主上主! 為此，你是偉大的，沒有與你相似的；按照我耳所聽的，除了你以外，沒有別的神。
There-fore you are great O Lord Yahweh for there not [is] like you and there not [is] a God except you in all that we have heard with ears our.
23 世上又那裏有一個民族能比得上你的民族以色列﹖天主親自去解救他們出來，作為自己的民族；為使他們成名，在你從埃及解救出來的人民前，行了大而可畏的奇事，驅除異民以及他們的神。
And who? [is] like people your like Israel a nation one on the earth which they went God to redeem for himself to a people and to make for himself a name and to do for you greatness and awesome [deeds] for land your from before people your which you redeemed for yourself from Egypt nations and gods its.
24 你將你民以色列永遠堅定為你的民族，你，上主做了他們的天主。
And you established for yourself people your Israel - of you to a people until perpetuity and you O Yahweh you have become for them God.
25 我主上主! 現在，求你永遠堅持你論及你的僕人和他的家室所說的話，按照你所說的履行罷!
And now O Yahweh God the word which you have spoken on servant your and on house his establish until perpetuity and do just as you have spoken.
26 願你的名永遠受尊崇! 人要說：萬軍的上主是以色列的天主! 願你僕人達味的家室，永遠堅家在你面前!
And it may be great name your until perpetuity saying Yahweh of hosts [is] God over Israel and [the] house of servant your David it will be established before you.
27 萬軍的上主，以色列的天主! 因為你曾啟示你的僕人說：我要建立你的家室，因此，你的僕人纔敢在你面前向你如此祈禱。
For you O Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel you have uncovered [the] ear of servant your saying a house I will build for you there-fore he has found servant your heart his to pray to you the prayer this.
28 我主上主，惟有你是天主! 你的話是真理，是你向你僕人應許了這些恩惠。
And now - O Lord Yahweh you he [are] God and words your they are truth and you have spoken to servant your the good this.
29 求你如今就祝福你僕人的家室，使永遠你面前存立，因為是你，我主上主所預許的，因此，你僕人的家室，必因你的祝福永遠獲得祝福。」
And now be willing and bless [the] house of servant your to be for ever before you for you O Lord Yahweh you have spoken and from blessing your it will be blessed [the] house of servant your for ever.
