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.

And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side [free] from all his enemies round about him;

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.

that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent.

3 And he said Nathan to the king all that [is] in heart your go do for Yahweh [is] with you.

And Nathan said to the king, Go and do all that [is] in thine heart, for the Lord [is] with thee.

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

And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

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.

Go, and say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in.

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.

For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent,

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.

wheresoever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of Cedar?

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.

And now thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the sheep-cote, that thou shouldest be a prince over my people, over Israel.

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.

And I was with thee wheresoever thou wentest, and I destroyed all thine enemies before thee, and I made thee renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.

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].

And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more afflict them, as he [has done] from the beginning,

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.

from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give thee rest from all thine enemies, and the Lord will tell thee that thou shalt build a house to him.

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.

And it shall come to pass when thy days shall have been fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, even thine own issue, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He he will build a house for name my and I will establish [the] throne of kingdom his until perpetuity.

He shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever.

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.

I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.

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.

But my mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.

16 And it will be established house your and kingdom your until perpetuity before you throne your it will be established until perpetuity.

And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.

17 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 Nathan spoke to David.

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.

And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that thou hast loved me hitherto?

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.

Whereas I was very little before thee, O Lord, my Lord, yet thou spokest concerning the house of thy servant for a long time to [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?

20 And what? will he increase David again to speak to you and you you know servant your O Lord Yahweh.

And what shall David yet say to thee? and now thou knowest thy servant, O Lord, my Lord.

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.

And thou hast wrought for thy servant's sake, and according to thy heart thou hast wrought all this greatness, to make it known to thy servant,

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.

that he may magnify thee, O my Lord; for there is no one like thee, and there is no God, but thou among all of whom we have heard with our ears.

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.

And what other nation in the earth [is] as thy people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make thee a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that thou shouldest cast out nations an [their] tabernacles from the presence of thy people, whom thou didst redeem for thyself out of Egypt?

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.

And thou has prepared for thyself thy people Israel to be a people for ever, and thou, Lord, art become their God.

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.

And now, O my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and his house: and now as thou hast said,

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.

Let thy name be magnified for ever.

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.

Almighty Lord God of Israel, thou hast uncovered the ear of thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house: therefore thy servant has found [in] his heart to pray this prayer to thee.

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.

And now, O Lord my Lord, thou art God; and thy words will be true, and thou hast spoken these good things concerning thy servant.

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.

And now begin and bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord, my Lord, hast spoken, and the house of thy servant shall be blessed with thy blessing so as to continue for ever.
