< 2 Samuel 7 >

1 Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;
And it was that he dwelt the king in house his and Yahweh he had given rest to him from round about from all enemies his.
2 The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.
And he said the king to Nathan the prophet see please I [am] dwelling in a house of cedar and [the] ark of God [is] dwelling in [the] midst of the tent curtain.
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.
And he said Nathan to the king all that [is] in heart your go do for Yahweh [is] with you.
4 Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
And it was in the night that and it came [the] word of Yahweh to Nathan saying.
5 Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?
Go and you will say to servant my to David thus he says Yahweh ¿ you will you build for me a house to dwell in I.
6 For from the day when I took the children of Israel up out of Egypt till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from place to place in a tent.
For not I have dwelt in a house from [the] day brought up I [the] people of Israel from Egypt and until the day this and I have been going about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?
In every where I went about among all [the] people of Israel ¿ a word did I speak with one of [the] tribes of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd people my Israel saying why? not have you built for me a house of cedars.
8 Then say these words to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping the sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people, over my people Israel:
And therefore thus you will say to servant my to David thus he says Yahweh of hosts I I took you from the pasture from after the flock to be ruler over people my over Israel.
9 And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.
And I have been with you in every where you went and I cut off! all enemies your from before you and I will make for you a name great like [the] name of the great [people] who [are] on the earth.
10 And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be living in the place which is theirs, and never again be moved; and never again will they be troubled by evil men as they were at the first,
And I will appoint a place for people my for Israel and I will plant it and it will dwell in it and not it will be agitated again and not they will repeat sons of injustice to afflict it just as at the former [time].
11 From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will give you peace from all who are against you. And the Lord says to you that he will make you the head of a line of kings.
And from the day when I appointed judges over people my Israel and I will give rest to you from all enemies your and he tells to you Yahweh that a house he will make for you Yahweh.
12 And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.
If - they will be completed days your and you will lie down with ancestors your and I will raise up offspring your after you who he will come out from inward parts your and I will establish kingdom his.
13 He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.
He he will build a house for name my and I will establish [the] throne of kingdom his until perpetuity.
14 I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;
I I will become of him a father and he he will become of me a son who when does wrong he and I will reprove him with a rod of men and with wounds of children of humankind.
15 But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.
And covenant loyalty my not it will depart from him just as I removed [it] from with Saul whom I removed from to before you.
16 And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.
And it will be established house your and kingdom your until perpetuity before you throne your it will be established until perpetuity.
17 So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.
According to all the words these and according to all the vision this so he spoke Nathan to David.
18 Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?
And he went the king David and he sat before Yahweh and he said who? [am] I O Lord Yahweh and who? [is] house my that you have brought me to here.
19 And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!
And it was small yet this [thing] in view your O Lord Yahweh and you have spoken also concerning [the] house of servant your from distant [time] and this [is] [the] manner of humankind O Lord Yahweh.
20 What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant, O Lord God.
And what? will he increase David again to speak to you and you you know servant your O Lord Yahweh.
21 Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.
For sake of word your and according to own heart your you have done all the greatness this to make know [it] servant your.
22 Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.
There-fore you are great O Lord Yahweh for there not [is] like you and there not [is] a God except you in all that we have heard with ears our.
23 And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?
And who? [is] like people your like Israel a nation one on the earth which they went God to redeem for himself to a people and to make for himself a name and to do for you greatness and awesome [deeds] for land your from before people your which you redeemed for yourself from Egypt nations and gods its.
24 But you took and made strong for yourself your people Israel, to be your people for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.
And you established for yourself people your Israel - of you to a people until perpetuity and you O Yahweh you have become for them God.
25 And now, O Lord God, may the word which you have said about your servant and about his family, be made certain for ever, and may you do as you have said!
And now O Yahweh God the word which you have spoken on servant your and on house his establish until perpetuity and do just as you have spoken.
26 And let your name be made great for ever, and let men say, The Lord of armies is God over Israel: and let the family of David your servant be made strong before you!
And it may be great name your until perpetuity saying Yahweh of hosts [is] God over Israel and [the] house of servant your David it will be established before you.
27 For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.
For you O Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel you have uncovered [the] ear of servant your saying a house I will build for you there-fore he has found servant your heart his to pray to you the prayer this.
28 And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;
And now - O Lord Yahweh you he [are] God and words your they are truth and you have spoken to servant your the good this.
29 So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it, ) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!
And now be willing and bless [the] house of servant your to be for ever before you for you O Lord Yahweh you have spoken and from blessing your it will be blessed [the] house of servant your for ever.
