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.

When the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

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.

the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”

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

Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”

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

That same night, the LORD’s word 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 tell my servant David, ‘The LORD says, “Should you 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 lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around 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 in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you 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.

Now therefore tell my servant David this: ‘The LORD of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to 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.

I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who 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].

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. The children of wickedness will not 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. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a 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 your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, 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 will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

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 will be my son. If he commits 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 loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

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

Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”

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

Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.

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, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this 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.

This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord GOD!

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

What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, 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 your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your 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.

Therefore you are great, LORD God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, 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.

What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself 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.

You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became 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.

“Now, LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have 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.

Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’

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 you, LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

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.

“Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your 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 you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
