2 Samuel 7
1 Engang Kongen sad i sit Hus, efter at HERREN havde skaffet ham Ro for alle hans Fjender rundt om,
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 sagde han til Profeten Natan: »Se, jeg har et Cedertræshus at bo i, men Guds Ark har Plads i et Telt!«
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 Natan svarede Kongen: »Gør alt, hvad din Hu staar til, 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 samme Nat kom HERRENS Ord til Natan saaledes:
And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying,
5 »Gaa hen og sig til min Tjener David: Saa siger HERREN: Skulde du bygge mig et Hus at bo i?
“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 Jeg har jo ikke haft noget Hus at bo i, siden den Dag jeg førte Israeliterne op fra Ægypten, men vandrede med, boende i et Telt.
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 Har jeg, i al den Tid jeg vandrede om blandt alle Israeliterne, sagt til nogen af Israels Dommere, som jeg satte til at vogte mit Folk Israel: Hvorfor bygger I mig ikke et Cedertræshus?
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 Sig derfor til min Tjener David: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Jeg tog dig fra Græsgangen, fra din Plads bag Smaakvæget til at være Fyrste over mit Folk 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 var med dig, overalt hvor du færdedes, og udryddede alle dine Fjender foran dig; jeg vil skabe dig et Navn som de størstes 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 skaffe mit Folk Israel en Hjemstavn og plante det, saa det kan blive boende paa sit Sted uden mere at skulle forstyrres i sin Ro, og uden at Voldsmænd mere skal plage det som tidligere,
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 dengang jeg satte Dommere over mit Folk Israel; og jeg vil give det Ro for alle dets Fjender. Saa kundgør HERREN dig nu: Et Hus vil HERREN bygge dig!
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 er omme, og du hviler hos dine Fædre, vil jeg efter dig oprejse din Sæd, som udgaar af dit Liv, og grundfæste hans Kongedømme.
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 grundfæste hans Kongetrone evindelig.
he builds a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom for all time.
14 Jeg vil være din Sæd en Fader, og den skal være mig en Søn! Naar den synder, vil jeg tugte den med Menneskestok og Menneskers Slag,
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 vil jeg ikke tage fra den, som jeg tog den fra din Forgænger.
and My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you,
16 Dit Hus og dit Kongedømme skal staa fast for mit Aasyn til evig Tid, din Trone skal staa til evig Tid!«
and your house and your kingdom [are] steadfast before you for all time, your throne is established for all time.”
17 Alle disse Ord og hele denne Aabenbaring meddelte Natan David.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
18 Da gik Kong David ind og dvælede for HERRENS Aasyn og sagde: »Hvem er jeg, Herre, HERRE, og hvad er mit Hus, at du har bragt mig saa vidt?
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 end ikke det var dig nok Herre, HERRE, du gav ogsaa din Tjeners Hus Forjættelser for fjerne Tider og lod mig skue kommende Slægter, 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 Hvad mere har David at sige dig Du kender jo dog 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 din Tjeners Skyld, og fordi din Hu stod dertil, gjorde du dette og kundgjorde din Tjener alt dette store,
Because of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to cause Your servant to know [it].
22 Herre, HERRE; thi ingen er som du, og der er ingen Gud uden dig efter alt hvad vi har hørt med vore Ører.
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 paa Jorden findes et Folk som dit Folk Israel, et Folk, som Gud kom og udfriede og gjorde til sit Folk for at vinde sig et Navn og udføre store og frygtelige Gerninger for dem ved at drive andre Folkeslag med deres Guder bort foran sit Folk, det, du udfriede fra Ægypten?
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 Du har grundfæstet dit Folk Israel som dit Folk til evig Tid, og du, HERRE, er blevet 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 Saa opfyld da, HERRE, Gud, til evig Tid den Forjættelse, du udtalte om din Tjener og hans Hus og gør, som du sagde!
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 Da skal dit Navn blive stort til evig Tid, saa man siger: Hærskarers HERRE, Gud over Israel! Og din Tjener Davids Hus skal staa fast for dit Aasyn.
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, Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud, har aabenbaret for din Tjener: 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 Derfor, Herre, HERRE, du er Gud, og dine Ord er Sandhed! Du har givet din Tjener denne Forjættelse,
And now, Lord YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and Your words are truth, and You speak this goodness to Your servant,
29 saa lad det behage dig at velsigne din Tjeners Hus, at det til evig Tid maa staa fast for dit Aasyn. Thi du, Herre, HERRE, har talt, og med din Velsignelse skal din Tjeners Hus velsignes evindelig!«
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.”
