Kings II 7
1 And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side [free] from all his enemies round about him;
factum est autem cum sedisset rex in domo sua et Dominus dedisset ei requiem undique ab universis inimicis suis
2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent.
dixit ad Nathan prophetam videsne quod ego habitem in domo cedrina et arca Dei posita sit in medio pellium
3 And Nathan said 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 And it came to pass in that night, that 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 say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord, You shall not build me a house for me 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 lived in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent,
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 wherever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have you not 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 And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheep-cote, that you should be a prince over my people, over 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 And I was with you wherever you went, and I destroyed all your enemies before you, and I made you renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.
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 appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more afflict them, as he [has done] from 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 from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give you rest from all your enemies, and the Lord will tell you that you shall build a house to him.
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 it shall come to pass when your days shall have been fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even your own issue, 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 shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever.
ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo et stabiliam thronum regni eius usque in sempiternum
14 I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes 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 mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.
misericordiam autem meam non auferam ab eo sicut abstuli a Saul quem amovi a facie tua
16 And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.
et fidelis erit domus tua et regnum tuum usque in aeternum ante faciem tuam et thronus tuus erit firmus iugiter
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
secundum omnia verba haec et iuxta universam visionem istam sic locutus est Nathan ad David
18 And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that you have loved me hitherto?
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 Whereas I was very little before you, O Lord, my Lord, yet you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a long time to [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?
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 And what shall David yet say to you? and now you know your servant, O Lord, my Lord.
quid ergo addere poterit adhuc David ut loquatur ad te tu enim scis servum tuum Domine Deus
21 And you have wrought for your servant's sake, and according to your heart you have wrought all this greatness, to make it known to your servant,
propter verbum tuum et secundum cor tuum fecisti omnia magnalia haec ita ut notum faceres servo tuo
22 that he may magnify you, O my Lord; for there is no one like you, and there is no God, but you amongst all of whom we have heard with our ears.
idcirco magnificatus es Domine Deus quia non est similis tui neque est deus extra te in omnibus quae audivimus auribus nostris
23 And what other nation in the earth [is] as your people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make you a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that you should cast out nations an [their] tabernacles from the presence of your people, whom you did redeem for yourself out of 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 And you has prepared for yourself your people Israel to be a people for ever, and you, Lord, are become their God.
et firmasti tibi populum tuum Israhel in populum sempiternum et tu Domine factus es eis in Deum
25 And now, O my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which you have spoken concerning your servant and his house: and now as you have said,
nunc ergo Domine Deus verbum quod locutus es super servum tuum et super domum eius suscita in sempiternum et fac sicut locutus es
26 Let your name be magnified for ever.
et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum atque dicatur Dominus exercituum Deus super Israhel et domus servi tui David erit stabilita coram Domino
27 Almighty Lord God of Israel, you have uncovered the ear of your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore your servant has found [in] his heart to pray 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 my Lord, you are God; and your words will be true, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant.
nunc ergo Domine Deus tu es Deus et verba tua erunt vera locutus es enim ad servum tuum bona haec
29 And now begin and bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you; for you, O Lord, my Lord, have spoken, and the house of your servant shall be blessed with your blessing so as to continue for ever.
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
