1 Chronicles 17
1 It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "Look, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of YHWH is under curtains."
καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς κατῴκησεν Δαυιδ ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Ναθαν τὸν προφήτην ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ κατοικῶ ἐν οἴκῳ κεδρίνῳ καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης κυρίου ὑποκάτω δέρρεων
2 Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you."
καὶ εἶπεν Ναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ πᾶν τὸ ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ σου ποίει ὅτι ὁ θεὸς μετὰ σοῦ
3 It happened the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ναθαν λέγων
4 "Go and tell David my servant, 'Thus says YHWH, "You shall not build me a house to dwell in;
πορεύου καὶ εἰπὸν πρὸς Δαυιδ τὸν παῖδά μου οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος οὐ σὺ οἰκοδομήσεις μοι οἶκον τοῦ κατοικῆσαί με ἐν αὐτῷ
5 for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone about from tent to tent, and from tabernacle to tabernacle.
ὅτι οὐ κατῴκησα ἐν οἴκῳ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνήγαγον τὸν Ισραηλ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἤμην ἐν σκηνῇ καὶ ἐν καταλύματι
6 In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'
ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς διῆλθον ἐν παντὶ Ισραηλ εἰ λαλῶν ἐλάλησα πρὸς μίαν φυλὴν Ισραηλ τοῦ ποιμαίνειν τὸν λαόν μου λέγων ὅτι οὐκ ᾠκοδομήκατέ μοι οἶκον κέδρινον
7 "Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.
καὶ νῦν οὕτως ἐρεῖς τῷ δούλῳ μου Δαυιδ τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἔλαβόν σε ἐκ τῆς μάνδρας ἐξόπισθεν τῶν ποιμνίων τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ
8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
καὶ ἤμην μετὰ σοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύθης καὶ ἐξωλέθρευσα πάντας τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ἀπὸ προσώπου σου καὶ ἐποίησά σοι ὄνομα κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα τῶν μεγάλων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
9 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 waste them any more, as at the first,
καὶ θήσομαι τόπον τῷ λαῷ μου Ισραηλ καὶ καταφυτεύσω αὐτόν καὶ κατασκηνώσει καθ’ ἑαυτὸν καὶ οὐ μεριμνήσει ἔτι καὶ οὐ προσθήσει ἀδικία τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι αὐτὸν καθὼς ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς
10 and from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that YHWH will build you a house.
καὶ ἀφ’ ἡμερῶν ὧν ἔταξα κριτὰς ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ καὶ ἐταπείνωσα ἅπαντας τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου καὶ αὐξήσω σε καὶ οἶκον οἰκοδομήσει σοι κύριος
11 And it will come about when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
καὶ ἔσται ὅταν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ ἡμέραι σου καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων σου καὶ ἀναστήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου μετὰ σέ ὃς ἔσται ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας σου καὶ ἑτοιμάσω τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ
12 He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
αὐτὸς οἰκοδομήσει μοι οἶκον καὶ ἀνορθώσω τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;
ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ εἰς πατέρα καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται μοι εἰς υἱόν καὶ τὸ ἔλεός μου οὐκ ἀποστήσω ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀπέστησα ἀπὸ τῶν ὄντων ἔμπροσθέν σου
14 but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever."'"
καὶ πιστώσω αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ μου καὶ ἐν βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος καὶ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἀνωρθωμένος ἕως αἰῶνος
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ὅρασιν ταύτην οὕτως ἐλάλησεν Ναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ
16 Then king David went in and sat before YHWH and said, "Who am I, YHWH God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυιδ καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἀπέναντι κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν τίς εἰμι ἐγώ κύριε ὁ θεός καὶ τίς ὁ οἶκός μου ὅτι ἠγάπησάς με ἕως αἰῶνος
17 This was a small thing in your eyes, God, but 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, YHWH God.
καὶ ἐσμικρύνθη ταῦτα ἐνώπιόν σου ὁ θεός καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδός σου ἐκ μακρῶν καὶ ἐπεῖδές με ὡς ὅρασις ἀνθρώπου καὶ ὕψωσάς με κύριε ὁ θεός
18 What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, YHWH.
τί προσθήσει ἔτι Δαυιδ πρὸς σὲ τοῦ δοξάσαι καὶ σὺ τὸν δοῦλόν σου οἶδας
19 For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make known to your servant all these great things.
καὶ κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐποίησας τὴν πᾶσαν μεγαλωσύνην
20 YHWH, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
κύριε οὐκ ἔστιν ὅμοιός σοι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν πλὴν σοῦ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν ἐν ὠσὶν ἡμῶν
21 And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem to be a people for himself, to make a name for yourself by great and awesome deeds, by driving out from before your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt, a nation and its gods?
καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὡς ὁ λαός σου Ισραηλ ἔθνος ἔτι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὡς ὡδήγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς τοῦ λυτρώσασθαι ἑαυτῷ λαὸν τοῦ θέσθαι ἑαυτῷ ὄνομα μέγα καὶ ἐπιφανὲς τοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου λαοῦ σου οὓς ἐλυτρώσω ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἔθνη
22 And you made your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, YHWH, became their God.
καὶ ἔδωκας τὸν λαόν σου Ισραηλ σεαυτῷ λαὸν ἕως αἰῶνος καὶ σύ κύριε αὐτοῖς εἰς θεόν
23 Now, YHWH, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
καὶ νῦν κύριε ὁ λόγος σου ὃν ἐλάλησας πρὸς τὸν παῖδά σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ πιστωθήτω ἕως αἰῶνος
24 Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, 'YHWH of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of David your servant is established before you.
λεγόντων κύριε κύριε παντοκράτωρ θεὸς Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ οἶκος Δαυιδ παιδός σου ἀνωρθωμένος ἐναντίον σου
25 For you have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.
ὅτι σύ κύριε ἤνοιξας τὸ οὖς τοῦ παιδός σου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον διὰ τοῦτο εὗρεν ὁ παῖς σου τοῦ προσεύξασθαι κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου
26 Now, YHWH, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.
καὶ νῦν κύριε σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου τὰ ἀγαθὰ ταῦτα
27 Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, YHWH, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."
καὶ νῦν ἤρξω τοῦ εὐλογῆσαι τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδός σου τοῦ εἶναι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐναντίον σου ὅτι σύ κύριε εὐλόγησας καὶ εὐλόγησον εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
