Pirmā Laiku 17

1 Un notikās, kad Dāvids savā namā dzīvoja, tad Dāvids sacīja uz pravieti Nātanu: redzi, es dzīvoju ciedru namā, bet Tā Kunga derības šķirsts mīt starp telts deķiem.

Once David had settled into his palace, he spoke to the prophet Nahum. “Look,” he said, “I'm living in a cedar palace while the Ark of the Lord's Agreement is kept in a tent!”

2 Tad Nātans sacīja uz Dāvidu: dari visu, kas ir tavā sirdī, jo Dievs ir ar tevi.

“Do what you think you should, for the God is with you,” Nathan replied.

3 Bet tai pašā naktī Dieva vārds notika uz Nātanu sacīdams:

But that night God told Nathan,

4 Ej un saki manam kalpam Dāvidam: tā saka Tas Kungs: tev nebūs Man namu celt par mājas vietu.

“Go and talk to my servant David. Tell him, this is what the Lord says, You are not to build a house for me to live in.

5 Jo Es namā neesmu mitis no tās dienas, kad Israēli esmu izvedis, līdz šai dienai, bet Es esmu gājis no telts uz telti un no dzīvokļa uz dzīvokli.

I have not lived in a house from the time I led Israel out of Egypt until now. I have lived in tents, moving from place to place.

6 Visu to laiku, kad Es ar visu Israēli esmu staigājis, vai esmu vārdu runājis uz kādu no Israēla soģiem, kam Es pavēlējis Savus ļaudis ganīt, sacīdams: kāpēc jūs Man neuztaisiet ciedru namu?

But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’

7 Tad nu saki tā uz Manu kalpu Dāvidu: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: Es tevi esmu ņēmis no ganības, no sīkiem lopiem, lai tu Maniem Israēla ļaudīm būtu par valdnieku.

So then, go and tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of my people Israel.

8 Un Es ar tevi esmu bijis visur, kur tu esi gājis, un esmu izdeldējis visus tavus ienaidniekus tavā priekšā un tev cēlis augstu vārdu, kā tiem lieliem kungiem vārds ir virs zemes.

I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have struck down all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.

9 Un Saviem Israēla ļaudīm Es esmu gādājis vietu un tos dēstījis, ka tie savā vietā dzīvo un vairs netop šaubīti, un netikli ļaudis tos vairs nespaida, kā senāk,

I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,

10 Un no tās dienas, kad Es soģus iecēlu pār Saviem Israēla ļaudīm. Un visus tavus ienaidniekus Es esmu pazemojis un tev daru zināmu, ka Tas Kungs tev cels namu.

from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.

11 Un notiks, kad tavs laiks būs pagājis, kad tu pie saviem tēviem iesi, tad Es pamodināšu tavu dzimumu pēc tevis, kas būs no taviem bērniem, un apstiprināšu viņa valstību.

For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.

12 Tas Man uztaisīs namu un Es apstiprināšu viņa goda krēslu mūžīgi.

He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.

13 Es tam būšu par tēvu un tas Man būs par dēlu, un Savu žēlastību Es no viņa neatraušu, kā Es to esmu atrāvis no tā, kas bija tavā priekšā.

I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of the one who ruled before you.

14 Bet Es to Manā namā un Manā valstībā iecelšu mūžīgi, ka viņa goda krēsls pastāv mūžīgi.

I will put him in charge of my house and my kingdom forever, and his dynasty will last forever.”

15 Un kad Nātans pēc visiem šiem vārdiem un pēc šīs parādīšanas ar Dāvidu bija runājis,

This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.

16 Tad ķēniņš Dāvids nāca un palika Tā Kunga priekšā un sacīja: kas es esmu, Kungs Dievs, un kas ir mans nams, ka Tu mani līdz šejienei esi vadījis?

Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?

17 Un tas Tev vēl bijis maz, ak Dievs! Bet Tu vēl uz Sava kalpa namu esi runājis par nākošiem ilgiem laikiem un mani esi uzlūkojis pēc cilvēka vīzes, Tu Dievs Kungs augstībā.

God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. You also see me as someone very important, Lord God.

18 Un ko lai Dāvids vēl uz Tevi saka par Tava kalpa godību? Bet Tu gan pazīsti Savu kalpu.

What more can I, David, say to you for honoring me in this way? You know your servant all too well!

19 Kungs, Tava kalpa labad un pēc Tavas sirds Tu visas šās lielās lietas esi darījis, un visas šās augstās lietas darījis zināmas.

Lord, you're doing all this for me, your servant, and because it's what you want—doing all these amazing things and letting people know about them.

20 Kungs, neviens nav kā Tu, un neviena dieva nav, kā Tu vien, pēc visa, ko mēs savām ausīm esam dzirdējuši.

Lord, there really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.

21 Un kur gan ir kāda tauta virs zemes kā Tavi Israēla ļaudis, ko Dievs gājis atpestīt Sev par ļaudīm, un Sev celt lielu un bijājamu vārdu, pagānus izdzīdams Savu ļaužu priekšā, ko Tu no Ēģiptes izglābis?

Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.

22 Un Tu Savus Israēla ļaudis Sev esi cēlis par tautu mūžīgi, un Tu Kungs tiem esi palicis par Dievu.

You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.

23 Tad nu, Kungs, lai tas vārds, ko Tu esi runājis par Savu kalpu un par viņa namu, tiešām tā notiek mūžīgi, un dari, kā Tu esi runājis!

So now, Lord, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and lasts forever. Please do as you have promised,

24 Tiešām, lai tā notiek, ka Tavs vārds top paaugstināts mūžīgi, lai saka: Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, ir Dievs pār Israēli, un Tava kalpa Dāvida nams lai pastāv Tavā priekšā.

and may your true nature be recognized and honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.

25 Jo tu, mans Dievs, sava kalpa ausi esi atvēris, ka tu tam gribi namu uztaisīt, tādēļ tavs kalps ir iedrošinājies pielūgt tava vaiga priekšā.

You, my God, have explained to me, your servant, that you will build me a house. That's why your servant has had the courage to pray to you.

26 Tad nu, Kungs, Tu esi Dievs, un esi runājis uz Savu kalpu šo labumu.

For you, Lord, are God! You are the one who has promised all these good things to your servant.

27 Un nu tas ir Tavs prāts, svētīt Sava kalpa namu, ka tas mūžīgi paliek Tavā priekšā; jo ko Tu, Kungs, svētī, tas paliek svētīts mūžīgi.

So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For when you bless, Lord, it is blessed forever.”
