< 2 Samuel 7 >

1 It happened, when the king lived in his house, and YHWH had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
Og det skete, der Kongen sad i sit Hus, og Herren havde skaffet ham Rolighed trindt omkring for alle hans Fjender,
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."
da sagde Kongen til Nathan, Profeten: Kære, se, jeg bor i et Hus af Cedertræ, og Guds Ark bor inden for Tæpper.
3 Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart; for YHWH is with you."
Og Nathan sagde til Kongen: Gak, gør alt det, som er i dit Hjerte; thi Herren er med dig.
4 It happened the same night, that the word of YHWH came to Nathan, saying,
Men det skete i den samme Nat, at Herrens Ord skete til Nathan og sagde:
5 "Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says YHWH, "Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
Gak og sig til min Tjener, til David: Saaledes sagde Herren: Skulde du bygge mig et Hus, som jeg skulde bo udi?
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.
da jeg ikke har boet i et Hus, fra den Dag, jeg opførte Israels Børn af Ægypten og indtil denne Dag, men jeg vandrede i Paulun og i Tabernakel.
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?'"'
Ihvor jeg vandrede iblandt alle Israels Børn, har jeg der talt noget Ord med nogen i Israels Stammer, hvem jeg havde befalet at vogte mit Folk Israel, og sagt: Hvi bygge I mig ikke et Hus af Cedertræ?
8 Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, '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.
Men nu skal du sige saaledes til min Tjener David: Saaledes sagde den Herre Zebaoth: Jeg tog dig fra Faarestien, fra Faarene, til at være en Fyrste over mit Folk, over Israel,
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.
og jeg har været med dig, ihvor du gik, og har udryddet alle dine Fjender for dit Ansigt og gjort dig et stort Navn, som de stores Navn, som ere paa Jorden,
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,
og jeg har beredet mit Folk Israel et Sted og plantet det, at det skal bo paa sit Sted og ikke ydermere forstyrres, og uretfærdige Folk skulle ikke blive ved at plage det, som i Begyndelsen,
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 YHWH tells you that he will build you a house.
og som fra den Dag, der jeg gav Dommere Befaling over mit Folk, Israel; og jeg giver dig Ro for alle dine Fjender, og Herren kundgør dig, at Herren vil gøre dig et Hus.
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.
Naar dine Dage ere til Ende, og du ligger med dine Fædre, da vil jeg oprejse din Sæd efter dig, ham, som skal komme af dit Liv, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Rige.
13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish his throne forever.
Han skal bygge mit Navn et Hus, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Riges Stol evindelig.
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;
Jeg vil være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn, hvem jeg, naar han handler ilde, vil straffe med Menneskens Ris og Menneskens Børns Plager;
15 but my loving kindness I will not take from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
men min Miskundhed skal ikke vige fra ham, saaledes som jeg lod den vige fra Saul, hvem jeg borttog fra dit Ansigt.
16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me, and your throne shall be established forever."'"
Men dit Hus og dit Rige skal blive bestandigt evindeligt for dit Ansigt, din Stol skal være fast evindelig.
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
Efter alle disse Ord og efter alt dette Syn talede Nathan til David.
18 Then king David went in and sat before YHWH and said, "Who am I, Lord YHWH, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
Da gik Kong David ind og blev for Herrens Ansigt og sagde: Hvo er jeg, Herre, Herre! og hvad er mit Hus, at du har ført mig hidindtil?
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 YHWH.
Men dette var endnu lidet agtet for dine Øjne, Herre, Herre! saa du talede og om din Tjeners Hus i Fremtiden; og dette er Loven for Mennesker, o Herre, Herre!
20 And what more can David add to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, YHWH.
Og hvad skal David ydermere blive ved at tale til dig? thi du kender din Tjener, Herre, Herre!
21 For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
For dit Ords Skyld og efter dit Hjerte har du gjort al denne store Ting, at du vilde lade din Tjener vide det.
22 Therefore you are great, Lord YHWH. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Derfor er du stor, Herre Gud! thi der er ingen som du, og der er ingen Gud uden du, efter alt det, som vi have hørt med vore Øren.
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?
Og hvor er et Folk paa Jorden som dit Folk, som Israel, for hvis Skyld Gud gik hen for at udløse sig det til et Folk og for at sætte sig et Navn og at gøre for eders Skyld de store og forfærdelige Ting imod dit Land for dit Folks Ansigt, som du udløste dig af Ægypten, fra Hedningerne og deres Guder.
24 And you established your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, YHWH, became their God.
Og du beredte dig dit Folk Israel, dig til et Folk evindelig, og du, Herre! du er bleven deres Gud.
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.
Og nu, Herre Gud! det Ord, som du talede over din Tjener og over hans Hus, lad det staa fast evindelig, og gør, ligesom du har talt.
26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, 'YHWH of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.
Saa bliver dit Navn stort til evig Tid, at man skal sige: Herren Zebaoth er Gud over Israel; og David din Tjeners Hus skal blive fast for dit Ansigt.
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.
Thi du, Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud! du har aabenbaret for din Tjeners Øre og sagt: Jeg vil bygge dig et Hus; derfor har din Tjener fundet sit Hjerte til at bede denne Bøn til dig.
28 "Now, O Lord YHWH, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
Og nu, Herre, Herre! du er den Gud, og dine Ord skulle blive Sandhed, og du har talt dette gode til din Tjener.
29 Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord YHWH, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing."
Saa begynd nu og velsign din Tjeners Hus, at det maa blive evindelig for dit Ansigt; thi du, Herre, Herre! du har talt det, og med din Velsignelse skal din Tjeners Hus velsignes i Evighed.
