< 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 dwelt in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies round about,
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 unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
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, 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 the same night, that the word of the LORD came unto 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 tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an 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 an house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
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.
In all places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel, spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built me an 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.
Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be 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 have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in 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, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
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.
and [as] from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover the LORD telleth thee that the LORD will make thee an house.
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.
When thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, 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 an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom 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 his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children 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 shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16 And it will be established house your and kingdom your until perpetuity before you throne your it will be established until perpetuity.
And thine house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established 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 did Nathan speak unto 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.
Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?
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.
And this was yet a small thing in thine eyes, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, O Lord GOD!
20 And what? will he increase David again to speak to you and you you know servant your O Lord Yahweh.
And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord GOD.
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.
For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it.
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.
Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that 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 one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?
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 didst establish to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest 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 LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.
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.
And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is God over Israel: and the house of thy servant David shall be established before thee.
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.
For thou, O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto 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 GOD, thou art God, and thy words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto 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.
now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
