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.

Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, See, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remains under curtains.

2 And he said Nathan to David all that [is] in heart your do for God [is] with you.

Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.

3 And it was in the night that and it came [the] word of God to Nathan saying.

And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

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.

Go and tell David my servant, Thus says the LORD, You shall not build me an house to dwell in:

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.

For I have not dwelled in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

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.

Wherever I have walked with all Israel, spoke I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have you not built me an house of cedars?

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.

Now therefore thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that you should be ruler over my people Israel:

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.

And I have been with you wherever you have walked, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

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].

Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

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.

And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you an house.

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.

And it shall come to pass, when your days be expired that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

12 He he will build for me a house and I will establish throne his until perpetuity.

He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

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.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before you:

14 And I will appoint him in house my and in kingdom my until perpetuity and throne his it will be established until perpetuity.

But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for ever more.

15 According to all the words these and according to all the vision this so he spoke Nathan to David.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

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.

And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me till now?

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.

And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; for you have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

18 What? will he add again David to you for honor servant your and you servant your you know.

What can David speak more to you for the honor of your servant? for you know your servant.

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.

O LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

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.

O LORD, there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

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.

And what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make you a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before your people whom you have redeemed out of Egypt?

22 And you made people your Israel - for yourself a people until perpetuity and you O Yahweh you became for them God.

For your people Israel did you make your own people for ever; and you, LORD, became their God.

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.

Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as you have said.

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.

Let it even be established, that your name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David your servant be established before you.

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.

For you, O my God, have told your servant that you will build him an house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray before you.

26 And now O Yahweh you he [are] God and you have spoken on servant your the good thing this.

And now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this goodness to your servant:

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.

Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may be before you for ever: for you bless, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
