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."
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 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 It happened 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 YHWH, "You shall not build me a 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 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.
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 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?'"'
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, 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.
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 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.
Et fui tecum quocumque perrexisti: et interfeci omnes inimicos tuos coram te, fecique tibi nomen quasi unius magnorum, qui celebrantur in terra.
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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
Ipse ædificabit mihi domum, et firmabo solium eius usque in æternum.
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;
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 forever. His throne shall be established forever."'"
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 Nathan spoke to David.
Iuxta omnia verba hæc, et iuxta universam visionem istam, sic locutus est Nathan ad David.
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?
Cumque venisset rex David, et sedisset coram Domino, dixit: Quis ego sum Domine Deus, et quæ domus mea, ut præstares mihi talia?
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.
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 say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, YHWH.
Quid ultra addere potest David, cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum, et cognoveris eum?
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.
Domine, propter famulum tuum iuxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc, et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia.
20 YHWH, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides 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 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?
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 And you made your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, YHWH, became their God.
Et posuisti populum tuum Israel tibi in populum usque in æternum, et tu Domine factus es Deus eius.
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.
Nunc igitur Domine, sermo, quem locutus es famulo tuo, et super domum eius, confirmetur in perpetuum, et fac sicut locutus es.
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.
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 have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage 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 Now, YHWH, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.
Nunc ergo Domine tu es Deus: et locutus es ad servum tuum tanta beneficia.
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."
Et cœpisti benedicere domui servi tui, ut sit semper coram te: te enim Domine benedicente, benedicta erit in perpetuum.
