1 Chronicles 17

1 Now when David was living in his house, he said to the prophet Nathan: “Behold, I live in a house of cedar. But the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent skins.”

And it was just when he dwelt David in house his and he said David to Nathan the prophet here! I [am] dwelling in [the] house of cedar and [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh [is] under tent curtains.

2 And Nathan said to David: “Do all that is in your heart. For God is with you.”

And he said Nathan to David all that [is] in heart your do for God [is] with you.

3 And yet, that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:

And it was in the night that and it came [the] word of God to Nathan saying.

4 “Go, and speak to my servant David: Thus says the Lord: You shall not build a house for me as a dwelling place.

Go and you will say to David servant my thus he says Yahweh not you you will build for me the house to dwell in.

5 For I have not stayed in a house from the time when I led out Israel, even to this day. Instead, I have been continually changing places, in a tabernacle and tent,

For not I have dwelt in a house since the day when I brought up Israel until the day this and I have been from tent to tent and from tabernacle.

6 dwelling with all of Israel. When did I ever speak to any one at all, among the judges of Israel whom I placed in charge so that they might pasture my people, saying: ‘Why have you not built a house of cedar for me?’

In every where I went about in all Israel ¿ a word did I speak with one of [the] judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd people my saying why? not have you built for me a house of cedar.

7 And so, now you shall say this to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you when you were following the flock in the pastures, so that you would be the leader of 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 Israel.

8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone. And I have slain all your enemies before you, and I have made a name for you like one of the great ones who are celebrated upon the earth.

And I was 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 like [the] name of the great [people] who [are] on the earth.

9 And I have given a place to my people Israel. They shall be planted, and they shall live in it, and they shall no longer be moved. Neither shall the sons of iniquity wear them away, as in the beginning,

And I will establish a place for people my Israel and I will plant it and it will dwell in place its and not it will be agitated again and not they will repeat [the] sons of injustice to consume it just as at the former [time].

10 from the days when I gave judges to my people Israel, and I humbled all your enemies. Therefore, I announce to you that the Lord will build a house for you.

And from days when I appointed judges over people my Israel and I will subdue all enemies your and I have told to you and a house he will build for you Yahweh.

11 And when you will have completed your days, so that you go to your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall be from your sons. And I will establish his kingdom.

And it will be that they have been completed days your to go with ancestors your and I will raise up offspring your after you who he will be one of descendants your and I will establish kingdom his.

12 He shall build a house for me, and I will make firm his throne, even unto eternity.

He he will build for me a house and I will establish throne his until perpetuity.

13 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it away from the one who was before you.

I I will become of him a father and he he will become of me a son and covenant loyalty my not I will remove from with him just as I removed [it] from [the one] who he was before you.

14 And I will station him in my house and in my kingdom, even forever. And his throne will be very firm, in perpetuity.”

And I will appoint him in house my and in kingdom my until perpetuity and throne his it will be established until perpetuity.

15 According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

According to all the words these and according to all the vision this so he spoke Nathan to David.

16 And when king David had departed, and had sat down before the Lord, he said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would grant such things to me?

And he went the king David and he sat before Yahweh and he said who? [am] I O Yahweh God and who? [is] house my that you have brought me to here.

17 But even this has seemed little in your sight, and therefore you have also spoken about the house of your servant even for the future. And you have made me a spectacle above all men, O Lord God.

And it was small this in view your O God and you have spoken on [the] house of servant your from distant [time] and you have seen me according to [the] order of humankind the going up O Yahweh God.

18 What more can David add, since you have so glorified your servant, and have known him?

What? will he add again David to you for honor servant your and you servant your you know.

19 O Lord, because of your servant, in accord with your own heart, you have brought about all this magnificence, and you have willed all these great things to be known.

O Yahweh for sake of servant your and according to heart your you have done all the greatness this by making known all the greatness.

20 O Lord, there is no one like you. And there is no other God apart from you, out of all whom we have heard about with our ears.

O Yahweh there not [is] like you and there not [is] a God except you in all that we have heard with ears our.

21 For what other single nation upon earth is like your people Israel, to whom God reached out, so that he might free them, and might make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terribleness cast out the nations before the face of those whom he had freed from Egypt?

And who? [is] like people your Israel a nation one on the earth which he went God to redeem for himself a people to make for yourself a name great things and awesome [deeds] by driving out from before people your which you had redeemed from Egypt nations.

22 And you have set your people Israel to be your people, even unto eternity. And you, O Lord, have become their God.

And you made people your Israel - for yourself a people until perpetuity and you O Yahweh you became for them God.

23 Now therefore, O Lord, let the word that you have spoken to your servant, and over his house, be confirmed in perpetuity, and do just as you have spoken.

And now O Yahweh the word which you have spoken on servant your and on house his let it be established until perpetuity and do just as you have spoken.

24 And may your name remain and be magnified even for all time. And let it be said: ‘The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel. And the house of his servant David remains forever before him.’

And it may be established so it may be great name your until perpetuity saying Yahweh of hosts [is] [the] God of Israel God to Israel and [the] house of David servant your [is] established before you.

25 For you, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build a house for him. And therefore your servant has found faith so that he might pray before you.

For - you O God my you have uncovered [the] ear of servant your to build for him a house there-fore he has found servant your to pray before you.

26 Now then, O Lord, you are God. And you have spoken to your servant such great benefits.

And now O Yahweh you he [are] God and you have spoken on servant your the good thing this.

27 And you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it may be always before you. For since it is you who is blessing, O Lord, it shall be blessed forever.”

And now you have determined to bless [the] house of servant your to be for ever before you for you O Yahweh you have blessed and [it is] blessed for ever.
