1 Chronicles 17
1 And it comes to pass as David sat in his house, that David says to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH [is] under curtains”;
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 and Nathan says to David, “All that [is] in your heart do, for God [is] with you.”
Da sagde Nathan til David: Gør alt det, som er i dit Hjerte; thi Gud er med dig.
3 And it comes to pass on that night that a word of God is to Nathan, saying,
Men det skete i den samme Nat, at Guds Ord lød til Nathan, sigende:
4 “Go, and you have said to My servant David, Thus said YHWH: You do not build for Me the house to dwell 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 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, and I am [going] from tent to tent, and from the Dwelling 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 Wherever I have walked up and down among all Israel, have I spoken a word with one of [the] judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars 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 And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the habitation, from after the sheep, to be leader over 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 and I am with you wherever you have walked, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a name for you like the name of the great ones who [are] in the 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 And I have prepared a place for My people Israel, and planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to wear it out as at first,
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 indeed, even from the days that I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I have humbled all your enemies, and I declare to you that YHWH builds 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 And it has come to pass, when your days have been fulfilled to go with your fathers, that I have raised up your seed after you, who is of your sons, and I have established his kingdom;
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 builds a house for Me, and I have established his throne for all time;
Han skal bygge mig et Hus, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Stol evindelig.
13 I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son, and I do not turn aside My kindness from him as I turned it aside from him who was 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 and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom for all time, and his throne is established for all time.”
Men jeg vil befæste ham i mit Hus og i mit Rige evindelig, og hans Stol skal være fast evindelig.
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
Efter alle disse Ord og efter hele dette Syn, saaledes talte Nathan til Kong David.
16 And David the king comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, O YHWH God, and what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
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 And this is small in Your eyes, O God, and You speak concerning the house of Your servant far off, and have seen me as a type of the man who is on high, O YHWH 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 does David add to You for the honor of Your servant; and You have known Your servant.
Hvad skal David ydermere tale til dig om dem Ære, som du har bevist imod din Tjener; thi du kender din Tjener.
19 O YHWH, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart You have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
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 O YHWH, there is none like You, and there is no god except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Herre! der er ingen som du, og der er ingen Gud uden du, efter alt det, som vi have hørt med vore Øren.
21 And who [is] as Your people Israel, one nation in the earth whom God has gone to ransom to Himself for a people, to make a great and fearful name for Yourself, to cast out nations from the presence of Your people whom You have ransomed out of 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 Indeed, You appoint Your people Israel to Yourself for a people for all time, and You, O YHWH, have been to them for God.
Og du satte dit Folk Israel til et Folk evindelig, og du, Herre! du er bleven dem til en Gud.
23 And now, O YHWH, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, be steadfast for all time, and do as You have spoken;
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 let it be steadfast, and Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, [is] God to Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You;
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 for You, O my God, have uncovered the ear of Your servant—to build a house for him, therefore Your servant has found [desire] to pray before 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 And now, YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and You speak this goodness concerning Your servant;
Og nu, Herre! du er den Gud, og du har talt dette gode til din Tjener.
27 and now, You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time; for You, O YHWH, have blessed, and it is blessed for all time.”
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!
