1 Chronicles 17
1 After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”
Engang David sad i sit Hus, sagde han til Profeten Natan: "Se, jeg har et Cedertræshus at bo i, men HERRENs Pagts Ark har Plads i et Telt!"
2 And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
Natan svarede David: "Gør alt, hvad din Hu står til, thi Gud er med dig!"
3 But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Men samme Nat kom Guds Ord til Natan således:
4 “Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.
"Gå hen og sig til min Tjener David: Så siger HERREN: Ikke du skal bygge mig det Hus, jeg skal bo i!
5 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.
Jeg har jo ikke haft noget Hus at bo i, siden den Dag jeg førte Israeliterne op, men vandrede med, boende i et Telt.
6 In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
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: Hvorfor bygger I mig ikke et Cedertræshus?
7 Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.
Sig derfor til min Tjener David: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Jeg tog dig fra Græsgangen, fra din Plads bag Småkvæget til at være Fyrste over mit Folk Israel,
8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.
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 på Jorden
9 And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning
og skaffe mit Folk Israel en Hjemstavn og plante det, så det kan blive boende på sit Sted uden mere at skulle forstyrres i sin Ro, og uden at Voldsmænd mere skal ødelægge det som tidligere,
10 and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.
dengang jeg satte Dommere over mit Folk Israel; og jeg vil underkue alle dine Fjender. Så kundgør jeg dig nu: Et Hus vil HERREN bygge dig!
11 And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
Når dine Dage er omme og du vandrer til dine Fædre, vil jeg efter dig oprejse din Sæd, en af dine Sønner, og grundfæste hans Kongedømme.
12 He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.
Han skal bygge mig et Hus, og jeg vil grundfæste hans Trone evindelig.
13 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.
Jeg vil være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn; og min Miskundhed vil jeg ikke tage fra ham, som jeg tog den fra din Forgænger;
14 But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”
jeg vil indsætte ham i mit Hus og mit Kongedømme til evig Tid, og hans Trone skal stå fast til evig Tid!"
15 So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.
Alle disse Ord og hele denne Åbenbaring meddelte Natan David.
16 Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
Da gik Kong David ind og dvælede for HERRENs Åsyn og sagde: "Hvem er jeg, Gud HERRE, og hvad er mit Hus, at du har bragt mig så vidt?
17 And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God, You have spoken about the future of the house of Your servant and have regarded me as a man of great distinction, O LORD God.
Men det var dig ikke nok o Gud, du gav også din Tjeners Hus Forjættelser for fjerne Tider og lod mig skue kommende Slægter, Gud HERRE!
18 What more can David say to You for so honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant,
Hvad mere har David at sige dig? Du kender jo dog din Tjener,
19 O LORD. For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed all Your greatness.
HERRE! For din Tjeners Skyld, og fordi din Hu stod dertil, gjorde du alt dette store og kundgjorde alle disse store Ting,
20 O LORD, there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
HERRE! Ingen er som du, og der er ingen Gud uden dig, efter alt hvad vi har hørt med vore Ører.
21 And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.
Og hvor på 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 ved at drive andre Folkeslag bort foran sit Folk, det, du udfriede fra Ægypten?
22 For You have made Your people Israel Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
Du har grundfæstet dit Folk Israel som dit, Folk til evig Tid, og du, HERRE, er blevet deres Gud.
23 And now, O LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,
Så lad da, HERRE, den Forjættelse, du udtalte om din Tjener og hans Hus, gælde til evig Tid og gør, som du sagde!
24 so that Your name will be established and magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.
Da skal dit Navn stå fast og blive stort til evig Tid, så man siger: Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud, Gud over Israel! Og din Tjener Davids Hus skal stå fast for dit Åsyn.
25 For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found the courage to pray before You.
Thi du, min Gud, har åbenbaret for din Tjener: Jeg vil bygge dig et Hus! Derfor har din Tjener dristet sig til at bede for dit Åsyn.
26 And now, O LORD, You are God! And You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
Derfor, HERRE, du er Gud, du har givet din Tjener denne Forjættelse,
27 So now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
så lad det behage dig at velsigne din Tjeners Hus, at det til evig Tid må stå fast for dit Åsyn. Thi du, HERRE, har velsignet det, og det bliver velsignet evindelig!"
