2 Samuel 7
1 After the king had settled into his palace and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him,
factum est autem cum sedisset rex in domo sua et Dominus dedisset ei requiem undique ab universis inimicis suis
2 he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”
dixit ad Nathan prophetam videsne quod ego habitem in domo cedrina et arca Dei posita sit in medio pellium
3 And Nathan replied to the king, “Go and do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
dixitque Nathan ad regem omne quod est in corde tuo vade fac quia Dominus tecum est
4 But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,
factum est autem in nocte illa et ecce sermo Domini ad Nathan dicens
5 “Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build for Me a house to dwell in?
vade et loquere ad servum meum David haec dicit Dominus numquid tu aedificabis mihi domum ad habitandum
6 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved about with a tent as My dwelling.
neque enim habitavi in domo ex die qua eduxi filios Israhel de terra Aegypti usque in diem hanc sed ambulans ambulabam in tabernaculo et in tentorio
7 In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people Israel, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
per cuncta loca quae transivi cum omnibus filiis Israhel numquid loquens locutus sum ad unam de tribubus Israhel cui praecepi ut pasceret populum meum Israhel dicens quare non aedificastis mihi domum cedrinam
8 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.
et nunc haec dices servo meo David haec dicit Dominus exercituum ego tuli te de pascuis sequentem greges ut esses dux super populum meum Israhel
9 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.
et fui tecum in omnibus ubicumque ambulasti et interfeci universos inimicos tuos a facie tua fecique tibi nomen grande iuxta nomen magnorum qui sunt in terra
10 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
et ponam locum populo meo Israhel et plantabo eum et habitabit sub eo et non turbabitur amplius nec addent filii iniquitatis ut adfligant eum sicut prius
11 and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies. The LORD declares to you that He Himself will establish a house for you.
ex die qua constitui iudices super populum meum Israhel et requiem dabo tibi ab omnibus inimicis tuis praedicitque tibi Dominus quod domum faciat tibi Dominus
12 And when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.
cumque conpleti fuerint dies tui et dormieris cum patribus tuis suscitabo semen tuum post te quod egredietur de utero tuo et firmabo regnum eius
13 He will build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo et stabiliam thronum regni eius usque in sempiternum
14 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.
ego ero ei in patrem et ipse erit mihi in filium qui si inique aliquid gesserit arguam eum in virga virorum et in plagis filiorum hominum
15 But My loving devotion will never be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I moved out of your way.
misericordiam autem meam non auferam ab eo sicut abstuli a Saul quem amovi a facie tua
16 Your house and kingdom will endure forever before Me, and your throne will be established forever.”
et fidelis erit domus tua et regnum tuum usque in aeternum ante faciem tuam et thronus tuus erit firmus iugiter
17 So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.
secundum omnia verba haec et iuxta universam visionem istam sic locutus est Nathan ad David
18 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?
ingressus est autem rex David et sedit coram Domino et dixit quis ego sum Domine Deus et quae domus mea quia adduxisti me hucusque
19 And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord GOD, You have also spoken about the future of the house of Your servant. Is this Your custom with man, O Lord GOD?
sed et hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo Domine Deus nisi loquereris etiam de domo servi tui in longinquum ista est enim lex Adam Domine Deus
20 What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.
quid ergo addere poterit adhuc David ut loquatur ad te tu enim scis servum tuum Domine Deus
21 For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.
propter verbum tuum et secundum cor tuum fecisti omnia magnalia haec ita ut notum faceres servo tuo
22 How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
idcirco magnificatus es Domine Deus quia non est similis tui neque est deus extra te in omnibus quae audivimus auribus nostris
23 And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself and to make a name for Himself? You performed great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt.
quae est autem ut populus tuus Israhel gens in terra propter quam ivit Deus ut redimeret eam sibi in populum et poneret sibi nomen faceretque eis magnalia et horribilia super terram a facie populi tui quem redemisti tibi ex Aegypto gentem et deum eius
24 For You have established Your people Israel as Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
et firmasti tibi populum tuum Israhel in populum sempiternum et tu Domine factus es eis in Deum
25 And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house. Do as You have promised,
nunc ergo Domine Deus verbum quod locutus es super servum tuum et super domum eius suscita in sempiternum et fac sicut locutus es
26 so that Your name will be magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel.’ And the house of Your servant David will be established before You.
et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum atque dicatur Dominus exercituum Deus super Israhel et domus servi tui David erit stabilita coram Domino
27 For You, O LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant when You said, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Therefore Your servant has found the courage to offer this prayer to You.
quia tu Domine exercituum Deus Israhel revelasti aurem servi tui dicens domum aedificabo tibi propterea invenit servus tuus cor suum ut oraret te oratione hac
28 And now, O Lord GOD, You are God! Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
nunc ergo Domine Deus tu es Deus et verba tua erunt vera locutus es enim ad servum tuum bona haec
29 Now therefore, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord GOD, have spoken, and with Your blessing the house of Your servant will be blessed forever.”
incipe igitur et benedic domui servi tui ut sit in sempiternum coram te quia tu Domine Deus locutus es et benedictione tua benedicetur domus servi tui in sempiternum
