1 Chronicles 17
1 Once David had settled into his palace, he spoke to the prophet Nahum. “Look,” he said, “I'm living in a cedar palace while the Ark of the Lord's Agreement is kept in a tent!”
Og det skete, der David boede i sit Hus, da sagde David til Nathan, Profeten: Se, jeg bor i et Hus af Cedertræ, og Herrens Pagts Ark bor under Tæpper.
2 “Do what you think you should, for the God is with you,” Nathan replied.
Da sagde Nathan til David: Gør alt det, som er i dit Hjerte; thi Gud er med dig.
3 But that night God told Nathan,
Men det skete i den samme Nat, at Guds Ord lød til Nathan, sigende:
4 “Go and talk to my servant David. Tell him, this is what the Lord says, You are not to build a house for me to live in.
Gak, og du skal sige til David, min Tjener: Saa sagde Herren: Du skal ikke bygge mig et Hus til at bo udi,
5 I have not lived in a house from the time I led Israel out of Egypt until now. I have lived in tents, moving from place to place.
efterdi jeg har ikke boet i et Hus fra den Dag, da jeg opførte Israel, og indtil denne Dag; men jeg vandrede fra Paulun til Paulun og fra Tabernakel til Tabernakel.
6 But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’
Hvor som helst jeg har vandret i al Israel, har jeg vel der talt noget Ord med en af Israels Dommere, som jeg har befalet at føde mit Folk, og sagt: Hvorfor bygge I mig ikke et Hus af Cedertræ?
7 So then, go and tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of my people Israel.
Saa skal du nu sige saaledes til min Tjener, til David: Saa sagde den Herre Zebaoth: Jeg tog dig fra Faarestien, fra Faarene, at du skulde være en Fyrste over mit Folk Israel.
8 I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have struck down all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.
Og jeg har været med dig, i hvor du gik, og har udryddet alle dine Fjender for dit Ansigt og gjort dig et Navn som de stores Navn, som ere paa Jorden.
9 I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,
Og jeg har beredt mit Folk Israel et Sted og plantet det, at det skal bo paa sit Sted og ikke ydermere forstyrres; og uretfærdige Folk skulle ikke mere fortrykke det som i Begyndelsen,
10 from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.
endog fra de Dage, da jeg gav Dommere Befaling over mit Folk Israel; og jeg har ydmyget alle dine Fjender, og jeg kundgør dig, at Herren vil bygge dig et Hus.
11 For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.
Og det skal ske, naar dine Dage ere til Ende, at du gaar herfra med dine Fædre, da vil jeg oprejse din Sæd efter dig, det skal være en af dine Sønner, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Rige.
12 He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.
Han skal bygge mig et Hus, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Stol evindelig.
13 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of the one who ruled before you.
Jeg vil være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn; og jeg vil ikke lade min Miskundhed vige fra ham, saaledes som jeg lod den vige fra ham, som var før dig.
14 I will put him in charge of my house and my kingdom forever, and his dynasty will last forever.”
Men jeg vil befæste ham i mit Hus og i mit Rige evindelig, og hans Stol skal være fast evindelig.
15 This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
Efter alle disse Ord og efter hele dette Syn, saaledes talte Nathan til Kong David.
16 Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?
Da gik Kong David ind og blev for Herrens Ansigt, og sagde: Hvo er jeg, Herre Gud, og hvad er mit Hus, at du har ført mig hidindtil?
17 God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. You also see me as someone very important, Lord God.
Men dette var endnu lidet agtet for dine Øjne, o Gud! saa du endog talte om din Tjeners Hus i Fremtiden; og du har set til mig paa Menneskers Vis, du Gud Herren i det høje!
18 What more can I, David, say to you for honoring me in this way? You know your servant all too well!
Hvad skal David ydermere tale til dig om dem Ære, som du har bevist imod din Tjener; thi du kender din Tjener.
19 Lord, you're doing all this for me, your servant, and because it's what you want—doing all these amazing things and letting people know about them.
Herre! for din Tjeners Skyld og efter dit Hjerte har du gjort al denne store Ting, at du vilde lade mig vide alle de store Ting.
20 Lord, there really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.
Herre! der er ingen som du, og der er ingen Gud uden du, efter alt det, som vi have hørt med vore Øren.
21 Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.
Og hvo er som dit Folk Israel, et eneste Folk paa Jorden, som Gud gik hen at forløse sig til et Folk, for at sætte dig et Navn ved store og forfærdelige Ting, ved at uddrive Hedningerne for dit Folks Ansigt, hvilket du forløste fra Ægypten.
22 You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
Og du satte dit Folk Israel til et Folk evindelig, og du, Herre! du er bleven dem til en Gud.
23 So now, Lord, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and lasts forever. Please do as you have promised,
Og nu, Herre! det Ord, som du talte over din Tjener og over hans Hus, blive bestandigt evindelig, og gør, som du har talt.
24 and may your true nature be recognized and honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.
Ja, det blive bestandigt, og dit Navn blive stort til evig Tid, at man skal sige: Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud, er Gud over Israel; og David, din Tjeners, Hus skal blive fast for dit Ansigt.
25 You, my God, have explained to me, your servant, that you will build me a house. That's why your servant has had the courage to pray to you.
Thi du, min Gud! du har aabenbaret for din Tjeners Øre, at du vil bygge ham et Hus, derfor har din Tjener fundet sit Hjerte til at bede for dit Ansigt.
26 For you, Lord, are God! You are the one who has promised all these good things to your servant.
Og nu, Herre! du er den Gud, og du har talt dette gode til din Tjener.
27 So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For when you bless, Lord, it is blessed forever.”
Saa begynd nu at velsigne din Tjeners Hus, at det maa blive evindelig for dit Ansigt; thi du, Herre! har velsignet det, saa lad det blive velsignet evindelig!
