2 Samuel 7
1 And it was that he dwelt the king in house his and Yahweh he had given rest to him from round about from all enemies his.
王住在自己宮中，耶和華使他安靖，不被四圍的仇敵擾亂。
2 And he said the king to Nathan the prophet see please I [am] dwelling in a house of cedar and [the] ark of God [is] dwelling in [the] midst of the tent curtain.
那時，王對先知拿單說：「看哪，我住在香柏木的宮中，上帝的約櫃反在幔子裏。」
3 And he said Nathan to the king all that [is] in heart your go do for Yahweh [is] with you.
拿單對王說：「你可以照你的心意而行，因為耶和華與你同在。」
4 And it was in the night that and it came [the] word of Yahweh to Nathan saying.
當夜，耶和華的話臨到拿單說：
5 Go and you will say to servant my to David thus he says Yahweh ¿ you will you build for me a house to dwell in I.
「你去告訴我僕人大衛，說耶和華如此說：『你豈可建造殿宇給我居住呢？
6 For not I have dwelt in a house from [the] day brought up I [the] people of Israel from Egypt and until the day this and I have been going about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
自從我領以色列人出埃及直到今日，我未曾住過殿宇，常在會幕和帳幕中行走。
7 In every where I went about among all [the] people of Israel ¿ a word did I speak with one of [the] tribes of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd people my Israel saying why? not have you built for me a house of cedars.
凡我同以色列人所走的地方，我何曾向以色列一支派的士師，就是我吩咐牧養我民以色列的說：你們為何不給我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？』
8 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 over 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。
9 And I have been 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 great 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。
10 And I will appoint a place for people my for Israel and I will plant it and it will dwell in it and not it will be agitated again and not they will repeat sons of injustice to afflict 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，
11 And from the day when I appointed judges over people my Israel and I will give rest to you from all enemies your and he tells to you Yahweh that a house he will make for you Yahweh.
並不像我命士師治理我民以色列的時候一樣。我必使你安靖，不被一切仇敵擾亂，並且我－耶和華應許你，必為你建立家室。
12 If - they will be completed days your and you will lie down with ancestors your and I will raise up offspring your after you who he will come out from inward parts your and I will establish kingdom his.
你壽數滿足、與你列祖同睡的時候，我必使你的後裔接續你的位；我也必堅定他的國。
13 He he will build a house for name my and I will establish [the] throne of kingdom his until perpetuity.
他必為我的名建造殿宇；我必堅定他的國位，直到永遠。
14 I I will become of him a father and he he will become of me a son who when does wrong he and I will reprove him with a rod of men and with wounds of children of humankind.
我要作他的父，他要作我的子；他若犯了罪，我必用人的杖責打他，用人的鞭責罰他。
15 And covenant loyalty my not it will depart from him just as I removed [it] from with Saul whom I removed from to before you.
但我的慈愛仍不離開他，像離開在你面前所廢棄的掃羅一樣。
16 And it will be established house your and kingdom your until perpetuity before you throne your it will be established until perpetuity.
你的家和你的國必在我面前永遠堅立。你的國位也必堅定，直到永遠。』」
17 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。
18 And he went the king David and he sat before Yahweh and he said who? [am] I O Lord Yahweh 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：「主耶和華啊，我是誰？我的家算甚麼？你竟使我到這地步呢？
19 And it was small yet this [thing] in view your O Lord Yahweh and you have spoken also concerning [the] house of servant your from distant [time] and this [is] [the] manner of humankind O Lord Yahweh.
主耶和華啊，這在你眼中還看為小，又應許你僕人的家至於久遠。主耶和華啊，這豈是人所常遇的事嗎？
20 And what? will he increase David again to speak to you and you you know servant your O Lord Yahweh.
主耶和華啊，我還有何言可以對你說呢？因為你知道你的僕人。
21 For sake of word your and according to own heart your you have done all the greatness this to make know [it] servant your.
你行這大事使僕人知道，是因你所應許的話，也是照你的心意。
22 There-fore you are great O Lord Yahweh for there not [is] like you and there not [is] a God except you in all that we have heard with ears our.
主耶和華啊，你本為大，照我們耳中聽見，沒有可比你的；除你以外再無上帝。
23 And who? [is] like people your like Israel a nation one on the earth which they went God to redeem for himself to a people and to make for himself a name and to do for you greatness and awesome [deeds] for land your from before people your which you redeemed for yourself from Egypt nations and gods its.
世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢？你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，驅逐列邦人和他們的神，顯出你的大名。
24 And you established for yourself people your Israel - of you to a people until perpetuity and you O Yahweh you have become for them God.
你曾堅立你的民以色列作你的子民，直到永遠；你－耶和華也作了他們的上帝。
25 And now O Yahweh God the word which you have spoken on servant your and on house his establish until perpetuity and do just as you have spoken.
「耶和華上帝啊，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。
26 And it may be great name your until perpetuity saying Yahweh of hosts [is] God over Israel and [the] house of servant your David it will be established before you.
願人永遠尊你的名為大，說：『萬軍之耶和華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。
27 For you O Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel you have uncovered [the] ear of servant your saying a house I will build for you there-fore he has found servant your heart his to pray to you the prayer this.
萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，因你啟示你的僕人說：『我必為你建立家室』，所以僕人大膽向你如此祈禱。
28 And now - O Lord Yahweh you he [are] God and words your they are truth and you have spoken to servant your the good this.
「主耶和華啊，惟有你是上帝。你的話是真實的；你也應許將這福氣賜給僕人。
29 And now be willing and bless [the] house of servant your to be for ever before you for you O Lord Yahweh you have spoken and from blessing your it will be blessed [the] house of servant your for ever.
現在求你賜福與僕人的家，可以永存在你面前。主耶和華啊，這是你所應許的。願你永遠賜福與僕人的家！」
