2 Samuel 7

1 It happened, when the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

١ وَكَانَ لَمَّا سَكَنَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَأَرَاحَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجِهَاتِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ،

2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains."

٢ أَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَالَ لِنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ: «ٱنْظُرْ. إِنِّي سَاكِنٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ أَرْزٍ، وَتَابُوتُ ٱللهِ سَاكِنٌ دَاخِلَ ٱلشُّقَقِ».

3 Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart; for the LORD is with you."

٣ فَقَالَ نَاثَانُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱفْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا بِقَلْبِكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعَكَ».

4 It happened the same night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,

٤ وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى نَاثَانَ قَائِلًا:

5 "Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says the LORD, "Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?

٥ «اِذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَأَنْتَ تَبْنِي لِي بَيْتًا لِسُكْنَايَ؟

6 For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.

٦ لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَسْكُنْ فِي بَيْتٍ مُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَصْعَدْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، بَلْ كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ فِي خَيْمَةٍ وَفِي مَسْكَنٍ.

7 In all places in which I have walked throughout Israel, did I say a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'

٧ فِي كُلِّ مَا سِرْتُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَلْ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِكَلِمَةٍ إِلَى أَحَدِ قُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يَرْعَوْا شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَبْنُوا لِي بَيْتًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْزِ؟

8 Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.

٨ وَٱلْآنَ فَهَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: أَنَا أَخَذْتُكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْبَضِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ لِتَكُونَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

9 And I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and I will make for you a name like the name of the great ones of the earth.

٩ وَكُنْتُ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتَ، وَقَرَضْتُ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ، وَعَمِلْتُ لَكَ ٱسْمًا عَظِيمًا كَٱسْمِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

10 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,

١٠ وَعَيَّنْتُ مَكَانًا لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَغَرَسْتُهُ، فَسَكَنَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَلَا يَضْطَرِبُ بَعْدُ، وَلَا يَعُودُ بَنُو ٱلْإِثْمِ يُذَلِّلُونَهُ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ،

11 and from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that he will build you a house.

١١ وَمُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَقَمْتُ فِيهِ قُضَاةً عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ أَرَحْتُكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكَ. وَٱلرَّبُّ يُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَصْنَعُ لَكَ بَيْتًا.

12 And it will come about when your days are fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

١٢ مَتَى كَمُلَتْ أَيَّامُكَ وَٱضْطَجَعْتَ مَعَ آبَائِكَ، أُقِيمُ بَعْدَكَ نَسْلَكَ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَحْشَائِكَ وَأُثَبِّتُ مَمْلَكَتَهُ.

13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish his throne forever.

١٣ هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، وَأَنَا أُثَبِّتُ كُرْسِيَّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with a human rod, and with the stripes from human beings;

١٤ أَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُ أَبًا وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لِيَ ٱبْنًا. إِنْ تَعَوَّجَ أُؤَدِّبْهُ بِقَضِيبِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَبِضَرَبَاتِ بَنِي آدَمَ.

15 but my loving kindness I will not take from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

١٥ وَلَكِنَّ رَحْمَتِي لَا تُنْزَعُ مِنْهُ كَمَا نَزَعْتُهَا مِنْ شَاوُلَ ٱلَّذِي أَزَلْتُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ.

16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me, and your throne shall be established forever."'"

١٦ وَيَأْمَنُ بَيْتُكَ وَمَمْلَكَتُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ أَمَامَكَ. كُرْسِيُّكَ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

١٧ فَحَسَبَ جَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ وَحَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا كَذَلِكَ كَلَّمَ نَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ.

18 Then king David went in and sat before the LORD and said, "Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

١٨ فَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَجَلَسَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ؟ وَمَا هُوَ بَيْتِي حَتَّى أَوْصَلْتَنِي إِلَى هَهُنَا؟

19 This was a small thing in your eyes, my Lord, and you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and you have let me look upon the generation of humankind to come, Lord GOD.

١٩ وَقَلَّ هَذَا أَيْضًا فِي عَيْنَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ أَيْضًا مِنْ جِهَةِ بَيْتِ عَبْدِكَ إِلَى زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ، وَهَذِهِ عَادَةُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَاسَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ.

20 And what more can David add to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, LORD.

٢٠ وَبِمَاذَا يَعُودُ دَاوُدُ يُكَلِّمُكَ وَأَنْتَ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ عَبْدَكَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ؟

21 For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

٢١ فَمِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَتِكَ وَحَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ فَعَلْتَ هَذِهِ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ كُلَّهَا لِتُعَرِّفَ عَبْدَكَ.

22 Therefore you are great, Lord GOD. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

٢٢ لِذَلِكَ قَدْ عَظُمْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِثْلُكَ وَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرَكَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا سَمِعْنَاهُ بِآذَانِنَا.

23 And what other nation on the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for himself, and to make a name for yourself and to do great and awesome deeds by driving out before your people, whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and it's gods?

٢٣ وَأَيَّةُ أُمَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِثْلُ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي سَارَ ٱللهُ لِيَفْتَدِيَهُ لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْبًا، وَيَجْعَلَ لَهُ ٱسْمًا، وَيَعْمَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ وَٱلتَّخَاوِيفَ لِأَرْضِكَ أَمَامَ شَعْبِكَ ٱلَّذِي ٱفْتَدَيْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَآلِهَتِهِمْ.

24 And you established your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.

٢٤ وَثَبَّتَّ لِنَفْسِكَ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، شَعْبًا لِنَفْسِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ صِرْتَ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا.

25 And now, my Lord, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

٢٥ وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ أَقِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ وَعَنْ بَيْتِهِ، وَٱفْعَلْ كَمَا نَطَقْتَ.

26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.

٢٦ وَلْيَتَعَظَّمِ ٱسْمُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، فَيُقَالَ: رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلْيَكُنْ بَيْتُ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ ثَابِتًا أَمَامَكَ.

27 For you have revealed to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

٢٧ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَارَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَعْلَنْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ قَائِلًا: إِنِّي أَبْنِي لَكَ بَيْتًا، لِذَلِكَ وَجَدَ عَبْدُكَ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ لَكَ هَذِهِ ٱلصَّلَاةَ.

28 "Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

٢٨ وَٱلْآنَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱللهُ وَكَلَامُكَ هُوَ حَقٌّ، وَقَدْ كَلَّمْتَ عَبْدَكَ بِهَذَا ٱلْخَيْرِ.

29 Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing."

٢٩ فَٱلْآنَ ٱرْتَضِ وَبَارِكْ بَيْتَ عَبْدِكَ لِيَكُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ أَمَامَكَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ. فَلْيُبَارَكْ بَيْتُ عَبْدِكَ بِبَرَكَتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».
