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.

And it came to pass as David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord [is] under [curtains] of skins.

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

And 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 in that night, that the word of the Lord 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 say to David my servant, Thus said the Lord, You shall not build me a house for me to dwell in it.

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 lived in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, but I have been in a tabernacle and a tent,

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.

in all places through which I have gone with all Israel: did I ever speak to [any] one tribe of Israel whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, [Why is it] that you have not built me a house of cedar?

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.

And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheepfold, from following the flocks, to be a 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 was with you in all places whither you went, and I destroyed all your enemies from before you, and I made for you a name according to the name of the great ones that are upon 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].

And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant him, and he shall dwell by himself, and shall no longer be anxious; and the son of iniquity shall no longer afflict him, 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 from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel. Also I have humbled all your enemies, and I will increase you, and the Lord will build you a 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 shall be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your bowels, 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 a house, and I will set up 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 to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and my mercy will I not withdraw from him, as I withdrew [it] from them that were 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.

And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be set up for ever.

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 spoke Nathan 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 king David came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what [is] my house, that you have loved me for ever?

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 these things were little in your sight, O God: you have also spoken concerning the house of your servant for a long time to come, and you have looked upon me as a man looks upon his fellow, and have exalted me, O Lord God.

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

What shall David do more toward you to glorify [you]? and 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.

And you have wrought all this greatness according to your heart.

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, and there is no God beside you, according to all things which 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.

Neither is there another nation upon the earth [such] as your people Israel, whereas God led him in the way, to redeem a people for himself, to make for himself a great and glorious name, to cast out nations from before your people, whom you 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.

And you have appointed your people Israel as a people to yourself for ever; and you, Lord, did become a God to them.

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.

And now, Lord, let the word which you spoke to your servant, and concerning his house, be confirmed for ever, and do you as you have spoken.

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.

And let your name [be] established and magnified for ever, [men] saying, Lord, Lord, Almighty God of Israel: and [let] the house of your servant David [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 Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build him a house; therefore your servant has found a willingness 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 yourself are God, and you have spoken these good things concerning 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.

And now you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it should continue for ever before you: for you, Lord, have blessed [it], and do you bless [it] for ever.
