1 Chronicles 17
1 And it was just when he dwelt David in house his and he said David to Nathan the prophet here! I [am] dwelling in [the] house of cedar and [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh [is] under tent curtains.
大衛住在自己宮中，對先知拿單說：「看哪，我住在香柏木的宮中，耶和華的約櫃反在幔子裏。」
2 And he said Nathan to David all that [is] in heart your do for God [is] with you.
拿單對大衛說：「你可以照你的心意而行，因為上帝與你同在。」
3 And it was in the night that and it came [the] word of God to Nathan saying.
當夜，上帝的話臨到拿單，說：
4 Go and you will say to David servant my thus he says Yahweh not you you will build for me the house to dwell in.
「你去告訴我僕人大衛，說耶和華如此說：『你不可建造殿宇給我居住。
5 For not I have dwelt in a house since the day when I brought up Israel until the day this and I have been from tent to tent and from tabernacle.
自從我領以色列人出埃及，直到今日，我未曾住過殿宇，乃從這會幕到那會幕，從這帳幕到那帳幕。
6 In every where I went about in all Israel ¿ a word did I speak with one of [the] judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd people my saying why? not have you built for me a house of cedar.
凡我同以色列人所走的地方，我何曾向以色列的一個士師，就是我吩咐牧養我民的說：你為何不給我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？』
7 And therefore thus you will say to servant my to David. Thus he says Yahweh of hosts I I took you from the pasture from after the flock to be ruler over people my Israel.
現在你要告訴我僕人大衛，說萬軍之耶和華如此說：『我從羊圈中將你召來，叫你不再跟從羊群，立你作我民以色列的君。
8 And I was with you in every where you went and I cut off all enemies your from before you and I will make for you a name like [the] name of the great [people] who [are] on the earth.
你無論往哪裏去，我常與你同在，剪除你的一切仇敵；我必使你得大名，好像世上大大有名的人一樣。
9 And I will establish a place for people my Israel and I will plant it and it will dwell in place its and not it will be agitated again and not they will repeat [the] sons of injustice to consume it just as at the former [time].
我必為我民以色列選定一個地方，栽培他們，使他們住自己的地方，不再遷移；凶惡之子也不像從前擾害他們，
10 And from days when I appointed judges over people my Israel and I will subdue all enemies your and I have told to you and a house he will build for you Yahweh.
並不像我命士師治理我民以色列的時候一樣。我必治服你的一切仇敵，並且我－耶和華應許你，必為你建立家室。
11 And it will be that they have been completed days your to go with ancestors your and I will raise up offspring your after you who he will be one of descendants your and I will establish kingdom his.
你壽數滿足歸你列祖的時候，我必使你的後裔接續你的位，我也必堅定他的國。
12 He he will build for me a house and I will establish throne his until perpetuity.
他必為我建造殿宇；我必堅定他的國位直到永遠。
13 I I will become of him a father and he he will become of me a son and covenant loyalty my not I will remove from with him just as I removed [it] from [the one] who he was before you.
我要作他的父，他要作我的子；並不使我的慈愛離開他，像離開在你以前的掃羅一樣。
14 And I will appoint him in house my and in kingdom my until perpetuity and throne his it will be established until perpetuity.
我卻要將他永遠堅立在我家裏和我國裏；他的國位也必堅定，直到永遠。』」
15 According to all the words these and according to all the vision this so he spoke Nathan to David.
拿單就按這一切話，照這默示告訴大衛。
16 And he went the king David and he sat before Yahweh and he said who? [am] I O Yahweh God and who? [is] house my that you have brought me to here.
於是大衛王進去，坐在耶和華面前，說：「耶和華上帝啊，我是誰，我的家算甚麼，你竟使我到這地步呢？
17 And it was small this in view your O God and you have spoken on [the] house of servant your from distant [time] and you have seen me according to [the] order of humankind the going up O Yahweh God.
上帝啊，這在你眼中還看為小，又應許你僕人的家至於久遠。耶和華上帝啊，你看顧我好像看顧高貴的人。
18 What? will he add again David to you for honor servant your and you servant your you know.
你加於僕人的尊榮，我還有何言可說呢？因為你知道你的僕人。
19 O Yahweh for sake of servant your and according to heart your you have done all the greatness this by making known all the greatness.
耶和華啊，你行了這大事，並且顯明出來，是因你僕人的緣故，也是照你的心意。
20 O Yahweh there not [is] like you and there not [is] a God except you in all that we have heard with ears our.
耶和華啊，照我們耳中聽見，沒有可比你的，除你以外再無上帝。
21 And who? [is] like people your Israel a nation one on the earth which he went God to redeem for himself a people to make for yourself a name great things and awesome [deeds] by driving out from before people your which you had redeemed from Egypt nations.
世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢？你上帝從埃及救贖他們作自己的子民，又在你贖出來的民面前行大而可畏的事，驅逐列邦人，顯出你的大名。
22 And you made people your Israel - for yourself a people until perpetuity and you O Yahweh you became for them God.
你使以色列人作你的子民，直到永遠；你－耶和華也作他們的上帝。
23 And now O Yahweh the word which you have spoken on servant your and on house his let it be established until perpetuity and do just as you have spoken.
耶和華啊，你所應許僕人和僕人家的話，求你堅定，直到永遠，照你所說的而行。
24 And it may be established so it may be great name your until perpetuity saying Yahweh of hosts [is] [the] God of Israel God to Israel and [the] house of David servant your [is] established before you.
願你的名永遠堅立，被尊為大，說：『萬軍之耶和華是以色列的上帝，是治理以色列的上帝。』這樣，你僕人大衛的家必在你面前堅立。
25 For - you O God my you have uncovered [the] ear of servant your to build for him a house there-fore he has found servant your to pray before you.
我的上帝啊，因你啟示僕人說，我必為你建立家室，所以僕人大膽在你面前祈禱。
26 And now O Yahweh you he [are] God and you have spoken on servant your the good thing this.
耶和華啊，惟有你是上帝，你也應許將這福氣賜給僕人。
27 And now you have determined to bless [the] house of servant your to be for ever before you for you O Yahweh you have blessed and [it is] blessed for ever.
現在你喜悅賜福與僕人的家，可以永存在你面前。耶和華啊，你已經賜福，還要賜福到永遠。」
