1 Chronicles 17
1 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, See, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remains under curtains.
Cum autem habitaret David in domo sua, dixit ad Nathan prophetam: Ecce ego habito in domo cedrina: arca autem fœderis Domini sub pellibus est.
2 Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.
Et ait Nathan ad David: Omnia, quæ in corde tuo sunt, fac: Deus enim tecum est.
3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Igitur nocte illa factus est sermo Dei ad Nathan, dicens:
4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus says the LORD, You shall not build me an house to dwell in:
Vade, et loquere David servo meo: Hæc dicit Dominus: Non ædificabis tu mihi domum ad habitandum.
5 For I have not dwelled in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
Neque enim mansi in domo ex eo tempore, quo eduxi Israel, usque ad diem hanc: sed fui semper mutans loca tabernaculi, et in tentorio
6 Wherever I have walked with all Israel, spoke I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have you not built me an house of cedars?
manens cum omni Israel. Numquid locutus sum saltem uni Iudicum Israel, quibus præceperam, ut pascerent populum meum, et dixi: Quare non ædificastis mihi domum cedrinam?
7 Now therefore thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that you should be ruler over my people Israel:
Nunc itaque sic loqueris ad servum meum David: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ego tuli te, cum in pascuis sequereris gregem, ut esses dux populi mei Israel.
8 And I have been with you wherever you have walked, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
Et fui tecum quocumque perrexisti: et interfeci omnes inimicos tuos coram te, fecique tibi nomen quasi unius magnorum, qui celebrantur in terra.
9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
Et dedi locum populo meo Israel: plantabitur, et habitabit in eo, et ultra non commovebitur: nec filii iniquitatis atterent eos, sicut a principio,
10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you an house.
ex diebus quibus dedi iudices populo meo Israel, et humiliavi universos inimicos tuos. Annuncio ergo tibi, quod ædificaturus sit tibi Dominus domum.
11 And it shall come to pass, when your days be expired that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
Cumque impleveris dies tuos ut vadas ad patres tuos, suscitabo semen tuum post te, quod erit de filiis tuis: et stabiliam regnum eius.
12 He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
Ipse ædificabit mihi domum, et firmabo solium eius usque in æternum.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before you:
Ego ero ei in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium: et misericordiam meam non auferam ab eo, sicut abstuli ab eo, qui ante te fuit.
14 But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for ever more.
Et statuam eum in domo mea, et in regno meo usque in sempiternum: et thronus eius erit firmissimus in perpetuum.
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
Iuxta omnia verba hæc, et iuxta universam visionem istam, sic locutus est Nathan ad David.
16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me till now?
Cumque venisset rex David, et sedisset coram Domino, dixit: Quis ego sum Domine Deus, et quæ domus mea, ut præstares mihi talia?
17 And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; for you have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
Sed et hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo, ideoque locutus es super domum servi tui etiam in futurum: et fecisti me spectabilem super omnes homines Domine Deus.
18 What can David speak more to you for the honor of your servant? for you know your servant.
Quid ultra addere potest David, cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum, et cognoveris eum?
19 O LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
Domine, propter famulum tuum iuxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc, et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia.
20 O LORD, there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Domine, non est similis tui: et non est alius Deus absque te, ex omnibus, quos audivimus auribus nostris.
21 And what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make you a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before your people whom you have redeemed out of Egypt?
Quis enim est alius, ut populus tuus Israel, gens una in terra, ad quam perrexit Deus, ut liberaret, et faceret populum sibi, et magnitudine sua atque terroribus eiiceret nationes a facie eius, quem de Ægypto liberarat?
22 For your people Israel did you make your own people for ever; and you, LORD, became their God.
Et posuisti populum tuum Israel tibi in populum usque in æternum, et tu Domine factus es Deus eius.
23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as you have said.
Nunc igitur Domine, sermo, quem locutus es famulo tuo, et super domum eius, confirmetur in perpetuum, et fac sicut locutus es.
24 Let it even be established, that your name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David your servant be established before you.
Permaneatque et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum: et dicatur: Dominus exercituum Deus Israel, et domus David servi eius permanens coram eo.
25 For you, O my God, have told your servant that you will build him an house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray before you.
Tu enim Domine Deus meus revelasti auriculam servi tui, ut ædificares ei domum: et idcirco invenit servus tuus fiduciam, ut oret coram te.
26 And now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this goodness to your servant:
Nunc ergo Domine tu es Deus: et locutus es ad servum tuum tanta beneficia.
27 Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may be before you for ever: for you bless, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
Et cœpisti benedicere domui servi tui, ut sit semper coram te: te enim Domine benedicente, benedicta erit in perpetuum.
