2 Samuel 7
1 Og det skete, der Kongen sad i sit Hus, og Herren havde skaffet ham Rolighed trindt omkring for alle hans Fjender,
And it comes to pass, when the king sat in his house, and YHWH has given rest to him all around, from all his enemies,
2 da sagde Kongen til Nathan, Profeten: Kære, se, jeg bor i et Hus af Cedertræ, og Guds Ark bor inden for Tæpper.
that the king says to Nathan the prophet, “Now see, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.”
3 Og Nathan sagde til Kongen: Gak, gør alt det, som er i dit Hjerte; thi Herren er med dig.
And Nathan says to the king, “All that [is] in your heart—go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.”
4 Men det skete i den samme Nat, at Herrens Ord skete til Nathan og sagde:
And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying,
5 Gak og sig til min Tjener, til David: Saaledes sagde Herren: Skulde du bygge mig et Hus, som jeg skulde bo udi?
“Go, and you have said to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH: Do you build for Me a house for My dwelling in?
6 da jeg ikke har boet i et Hus, fra den Dag, jeg opførte Israels Børn af Ægypten og indtil denne Dag, men jeg vandrede i Paulun og i Tabernakel.
For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a dwelling place.
7 Ihvor jeg vandrede iblandt alle Israels Børn, har jeg der talt noget Ord med nogen i Israels Stammer, hvem jeg havde befalet at vogte mit Folk Israel, og sagt: Hvi bygge I mig ikke et Hus af Cedertræ?
During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
8 Men nu skal du sige saaledes til min Tjener David: Saaledes sagde den Herre Zebaoth: Jeg tog dig fra Faarestien, fra Faarene, til at være en Fyrste over mit Folk, over Israel,
And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the pasture, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;
9 og jeg har været med dig, ihvor du gik, og har udryddet alle dine Fjender for dit Ansigt og gjort dig et stort Navn, som de stores Navn, som ere paa Jorden,
and I am with you wherever you have gone, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth,
10 og jeg har beredet mit Folk Israel et Sted og plantet det, at det skal bo paa sit Sted og ikke ydermere forstyrres, og uretfærdige Folk skulle ikke blive ved at plage det, som i Begyndelsen,
and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and it is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it anymore, as in the beginning,
11 og som fra den Dag, der jeg gav Dommere Befaling over mit Folk, Israel; og jeg giver dig Ro for alle dine Fjender, og Herren kundgør dig, at Herren vil gøre dig et Hus.
even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to you from all your enemies, and YHWH has declared to you that YHWH makes a house for you.
12 Naar dine Dage ere til Ende, og du ligger med dine Fædre, da vil jeg oprejse din Sæd efter dig, ham, som skal komme af dit Liv, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Rige.
When your days are full, and you have lain with your fathers, then I have raised up your seed after you which goes out from your bowels, and have established his kingdom;
13 Han skal bygge mit Navn et Hus, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Riges Stol evindelig.
he builds a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom for all time.
14 Jeg vil være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn, hvem jeg, naar han handler ilde, vil straffe med Menneskens Ris og Menneskens Børns Plager;
I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealing perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
15 men min Miskundhed skal ikke vige fra ham, saaledes som jeg lod den vige fra Saul, hvem jeg borttog fra dit Ansigt.
and My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you,
16 Men dit Hus og dit Rige skal blive bestandigt evindeligt for dit Ansigt, din Stol skal være fast evindelig.
and your house and your kingdom [are] steadfast before you for all time, your throne is established for all time.”
17 Efter alle disse Ord og efter alt dette Syn talede Nathan til David.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
18 Da gik Kong David ind og blev for Herrens Ansigt og sagde: Hvo er jeg, Herre, Herre! og hvad er mit Hus, at du har ført mig hidindtil?
And King David comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, Lord YHWH? And what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
19 Men dette var endnu lidet agtet for dine Øjne, Herre, Herre! saa du talede og om din Tjeners Hus i Fremtiden; og dette er Loven for Mennesker, o Herre, Herre!
And yet this [is] little in Your eyes, Lord YHWH, and You also speak concerning the house of Your servant far off; and this [is] the law of the man, Lord YHWH.
20 Og hvad skal David ydermere blive ved at tale til dig? thi du kender din Tjener, Herre, Herre!
And what does David add more to speak to You? And You, You have known Your servant, Lord YHWH.
21 For dit Ords Skyld og efter dit Hjerte har du gjort al denne store Ting, at du vilde lade din Tjener vide det.
Because of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to cause Your servant to know [it].
22 Derfor er du stor, Herre Gud! thi der er ingen som du, og der er ingen Gud uden du, efter alt det, som vi have hørt med vore Øren.
Therefore You have been great, YHWH God, for there is none like You, and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 Og hvor er et Folk paa Jorden som dit Folk, som Israel, for hvis Skyld Gud gik hen for at udløse sig det til et Folk og for at sætte sig et Navn og at gøre for eders Skyld de store og forfærdelige Ting imod dit Land for dit Folks Ansigt, som du udløste dig af Ægypten, fra Hedningerne og deres Guder.
And who [is] as Your people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God has gone to redeem for a people for Himself, and to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself the greatness—even fearful things for Your land, at the presence of Your people, whom You have redeemed for Yourself out of Egypt—[among the] nations and their gods?
24 Og du beredte dig dit Folk Israel, dig til et Folk evindelig, og du, Herre! du er bleven deres Gud.
Indeed, You establish Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people for Yourself for all time, and You, YHWH, have been to them for God.
25 Og nu, Herre Gud! det Ord, som du talede over din Tjener og over hans Hus, lad det staa fast evindelig, og gør, ligesom du har talt.
And now, YHWH God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, establish for all time, and do as You have spoken.
26 Saa bliver dit Navn stort til evig Tid, at man skal sige: Herren Zebaoth er Gud over Israel; og David din Tjeners Hus skal blive fast for dit Ansigt.
And Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You,
27 Thi du, Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud! du har aabenbaret for din Tjeners Øre og sagt: Jeg vil bygge dig et Hus; derfor har din Tjener fundet sit Hjerte til at bede denne Bøn til dig.
for You, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered the ear of Your servant, saying, I build a house for you, therefore Your servant has found his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 Og nu, Herre, Herre! du er den Gud, og dine Ord skulle blive Sandhed, og du har talt dette gode til din Tjener.
And now, Lord YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and Your words are truth, and You speak this goodness to Your servant,
29 Saa begynd nu og velsign din Tjeners Hus, at det maa blive evindelig for dit Ansigt; thi du, Herre, Herre! du har talt det, og med din Velsignelse skal din Tjeners Hus velsignes i Evighed.
and now, begin and bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time, for You, Lord YHWH, have spoken, and by Your blessing the house of Your servant is blessed for all time.”
