2 Samuel 7

1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest around from all his enemies;

١ وَكَانَ لَمَّا سَكَنَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَأَرَاحَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجِهَاتِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ،

2 That the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

٢ أَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَالَ لِنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ: «ٱنْظُرْ. إِنِّي سَاكِنٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ أَرْزٍ، وَتَابُوتُ ٱللهِ سَاكِنٌ دَاخِلَ ٱلشُّقَقِ».

3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that [is] in thy heart: for the LORD [is] with thee.

٣ فَقَالَ نَاثَانُ لِلْمَلِكِ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱفْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا بِقَلْبِكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعَكَ».

4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,

٤ وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى نَاثَانَ قَائِلًا:

5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Wilt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?

٥ «اِذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَأَنْتَ تَبْنِي لِي بَيْتًا لِسُكْنَايَ؟

6 Whereas I have not dwelt in [any] house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent, and in a tabernacle.

٦ لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَسْكُنْ فِي بَيْتٍ مُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَصْعَدْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، بَلْ كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ فِي خَيْمَةٍ وَفِي مَسْكَنٍ.

7 In all [the places] in which I have walked with all the children of Israel have I spoken a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why do ye not build me a house of cedar?

٧ فِي كُلِّ مَا سِرْتُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَلْ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِكَلِمَةٍ إِلَى أَحَدِ قُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يَرْعَوْا شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَبْنُوا لِي بَيْتًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْزِ؟

8 Now therefore so shalt thou say to my servant David, thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheep-cote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

٨ وَٱلْآنَ فَهَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: أَنَا أَخَذْتُكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْبَضِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ لِتَكُونَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thy enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like to the name of the great [men] that [are] in the earth.

٩ وَكُنْتُ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتَ، وَقَرَضْتُ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ، وَعَمِلْتُ لَكَ ٱسْمًا عَظِيمًا كَٱسْمِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

10 Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as formerly.

١٠ وَعَيَّنْتُ مَكَانًا لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَغَرَسْتُهُ، فَسَكَنَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَلَا يَضْطَرِبُ بَعْدُ، وَلَا يَعُودُ بَنُو ٱلْإِثْمِ يُذَلِّلُونَهُ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ،

11 And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thy enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee a house.

١١ وَمُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَقَمْتُ فِيهِ قُضَاةً عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ أَرَحْتُكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكَ. وَٱلرَّبُّ يُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَصْنَعُ لَكَ بَيْتًا.

12 And when thy days shall 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.

١٢ مَتَى كَمُلَتْ أَيَّامُكَ وَٱضْطَجَعْتَ مَعَ آبَائِكَ، أُقِيمُ بَعْدَكَ نَسْلَكَ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَحْشَائِكَ وَأُثَبِّتُ مَمْلَكَتَهُ.

13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

١٣ هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، وَأَنَا أُثَبِّتُ كُرْسِيَّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he shall commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

١٤ أَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُ أَبًا وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لِيَ ٱبْنًا. إِنْ تَعَوَّجَ أُؤَدِّبْهُ بِقَضِيبِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَبِضَرَبَاتِ بَنِي آدَمَ.

15 But my mercy shall not depart from him, as I took [it] from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

١٥ وَلَكِنَّ رَحْمَتِي لَا تُنْزَعُ مِنْهُ كَمَا نَزَعْتُهَا مِنْ شَاوُلَ ٱلَّذِي أَزَلْتُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ.

16 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

١٦ وَيَأْمَنُ بَيْتُكَ وَمَمْلَكَتُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ أَمَامَكَ. كُرْسِيُّكَ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

١٧ فَحَسَبَ جَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ وَحَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا كَذَلِكَ كَلَّمَ نَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ.

18 Then king David 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 hitherto;

١٨ فَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَجَلَسَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ؟ وَمَا هُوَ بَيْتِي حَتَّى أَوْصَلْتَنِي إِلَى هَهُنَا؟

19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O LORD God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And [is] this the manner of man, O LORD God?

١٩ وَقَلَّ هَذَا أَيْضًا فِي عَيْنَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ أَيْضًا مِنْ جِهَةِ بَيْتِ عَبْدِكَ إِلَى زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ، وَهَذِهِ عَادَةُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَاسَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ.

20 And what can David say more to thee? for thou, LORD God, knowest thy servant.

٢٠ وَبِمَاذَا يَعُودُ دَاوُدُ يُكَلِّمُكَ وَأَنْتَ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ عَبْدَكَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ؟

21 For thy word's sake, and according to thy own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know [them].

٢١ فَمِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَتِكَ وَحَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ فَعَلْتَ هَذِهِ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ كُلَّهَا لِتُعَرِّفَ عَبْدَكَ.

22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

٢٢ لِذَلِكَ قَدْ عَظُمْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِثْلُكَ وَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرَكَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا سَمِعْنَاهُ بِآذَانِنَا.

23 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people, [even] like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?

٢٣ وَأَيَّةُ أُمَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِثْلُ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي سَارَ ٱللهُ لِيَفْتَدِيَهُ لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْبًا، وَيَجْعَلَ لَهُ ٱسْمًا، وَيَعْمَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ وَٱلتَّخَاوِيفَ لِأَرْضِكَ أَمَامَ شَعْبِكَ ٱلَّذِي ٱفْتَدَيْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَآلِهَتِهِمْ.

24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel [to be] a people to thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.

٢٤ وَثَبَّتَّ لِنَفْسِكَ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، شَعْبًا لِنَفْسِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ صِرْتَ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا.

25 And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish [it] for ever, and do as thou hast said.

٢٥ وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ أَقِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ وَعَنْ بَيْتِهِ، وَٱفْعَلْ كَمَا نَطَقْتَ.

26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

٢٦ وَلْيَتَعَظَّمِ ٱسْمُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، فَيُقَالَ: رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلْيَكُنْ بَيْتُ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ ثَابِتًا أَمَامَكَ.

27 For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee.

٢٧ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَارَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَعْلَنْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ قَائِلًا: إِنِّي أَبْنِي لَكَ بَيْتًا، لِذَلِكَ وَجَدَ عَبْدُكَ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ لَكَ هَذِهِ ٱلصَّلَاةَ.

28 And now, O LORD God, thou [art] that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness to thy servant:

٢٨ وَٱلْآنَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱللهُ وَكَلَامُكَ هُوَ حَقٌّ، وَقَدْ كَلَّمْتَ عَبْدَكَ بِهَذَا ٱلْخَيْرِ.

29 Therefore now 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.

٢٩ فَٱلْآنَ ٱرْتَضِ وَبَارِكْ بَيْتَ عَبْدِكَ لِيَكُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ أَمَامَكَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ. فَلْيُبَارَكْ بَيْتُ عَبْدِكَ بِبَرَكَتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».
