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 cometh to pass, when the king sat in his house, and Jehovah hath given rest to him round about, 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 saith unto Nathan the prophet, 'See, I pray thee, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and 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 saith unto the king, 'All that [is] in thine heart — go, do, for Jehovah [is] with thee.'
4 Men samme Nat kom HERRENS Ord til Natan saaledes:
And it cometh to pass in that night, that the word of Jehovah is unto 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 thou hast said unto My servant, unto David, Thus said Jehovah, Dost thou 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 unto this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a tabernacle.
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, a word have I spoken with one of the tribes of Israel which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, 'Why have ye not built to Me a house of cedars?
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 dost thou say to My servant, to David: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the comely place, 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 thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and I cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a great name, 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 hath tabernacled in its place, and it is not troubled any more, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it any more, 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 thee from all thine enemies, and Jehovah hath declared to thee that Jehovah doth make for thee a house.
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 thy days are full, and thou hast lain with thy fathers, then I have raised up thy seed after thee which goeth out from thy bowels, and have established his kingdom;
13 Han skal bygge mit Navn et Hus, og jeg vil grundfæste hans Kongetrone evindelig.
He doth build a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom unto the age.
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 dealings 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 doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee,
16 Dit Hus og dit Kongedømme skal staa fast for mit Aasyn til evig Tid, din Trone skal staa til evig Tid!«
and stedfast [is] thy house and thy kingdom unto the age before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.'
17 Alle disse Ord og hele denne Aabenbaring meddelte Natan David.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto 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 cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, 'Who [am] I, Lord Jehovah? and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
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 Thine eyes, Lord Jehovah, and Thou dost speak also concerning the house of Thy servant afar off; and this [is] the law of the Man, Lord Jehovah.
20 Hvad mere har David at sige dig Du kender jo dog din Tjener, Herre, HERRE.
And what doth David add more to speak unto Thee? and Thou, Thou hast known Thy servant, Lord Jehovah.
21 For din Tjeners Skyld, og fordi din Hu stod dertil, gjorde du dette og kundgjorde din Tjener alt dette store,
Because of Thy word, and according to Thy heart, Thou hast done all this greatness, to cause Thy 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 Thou hast been great, Jehovah God, for there is none like Thee, and there is no God save Thee, 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 Thy people, as Israel — one nation in the earth, whom God hath gone to redeem to Him for a people, and to make for Him a name — and to do for you the greatness — even fearful things for Thy land, at the presence of Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed to Thee 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.
Yea, Thou dost establish to Thee Thy people Israel, to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, Jehovah, hast 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, Jehovah God, the word which Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, establish unto the age, and do as Thou hast 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 Thy Name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee,
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 Thou, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant, saying, A house I build for thee, therefore hath Thy servant found his heart to pray unto Thee this prayer;
28 Derfor, Herre, HERRE, du er Gud, og dine Ord er Sandhed! Du har givet din Tjener denne Forjættelse,
And now, Lord Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thy words are truth, and Thou speakest unto Thy servant this goodness,
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 Thy servant, to be unto the age before Thee, for Thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken, and by Thy blessing is the house of Thy servant blessed — to the age.'
