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.
After David began to live in his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It does not seem right that] I am here living in a palace made of cedar [wood], but Yahweh’s Sacred Chest is kept inside a tent!”
2 Tad Nātans sacīja uz Dāvidu: dari visu, kas ir tavā sirdī, jo Dievs ir ar tevi.
Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you are thinking about doing, do it, because God is with/guiding you.”
3 Bet tai pašā naktī Dieva vārds notika uz Nātanu sacīdams:
But that night God spoke [MTY] to Nathan. He said,
4 Ej un saki manam kalpam Dāvidam: tā saka Tas Kungs: tev nebūs Man namu celt par mājas vietu.
“Go and tell my servant David that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one who should build a temple 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 any building, from the day that I brought the people of Israel up [out of Egypt] until now. Instead, I have [lived in a tent], moving from one place to another with [the Israelis] when they moved to other places [DOU].
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?
Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never [RHQ] said to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead [MET] them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
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.
Therefore, this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘I, the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and I appointed you] to be the ruler of my Israeli people.
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/helped) you wherever you have gone, and I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. And now I will cause you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the 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,
Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed them. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give not allow them to [be attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
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.
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.
When your life ends [EUP], and you [die and] go to be with your ancestors [who have died], I will appoint one of your sons to become king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
12 Tas Man uztaisīs namu un Es apstiprināšu viņa goda krēslu mūžīgi.
He is the one who will [arrange for] a temple to be built for me. And I will enable his descendants to be kings [MTY] of Israel 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 [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me. I stopped loving [Saul, ] the one who was the king before you became king, but I will never stop loving your son.
14 Bet Es to Manā namā un Manā valstībā iecelšu mūžīgi, ka viņa goda krēsls pastāv mūžīgi.
I will cause him to rule over my people [MTY], and his kingdom will endure forever [DOU].’”
15 Un kad Nātans pēc visiem šiem vārdiem un pēc šīs parādīšanas ar Dāvidu bija runājis,
So Nathan reported to David everything that Yahweh had revealed to him.
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 David went [into the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh my God, I am certainly not [RHQ] worthy for you to have done all these things for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
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.
“And O God, now, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations. Yahweh my God, you have acted toward me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
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]? Although you know very well what I am like,
19 Kungs, Tava kalpa labad un pēc Tavas sirds Tu visas šās lielās lietas esi darījis, un visas šās augstās lietas darījis zināmas.
Yahweh, for my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done these great things [for me], and you have revealed to me these things [that you are promising to do].
20 Kungs, neviens nav kā Tu, un neviena dieva nav, kā Tu vien, pēc visa, ko mēs savām ausīm esam dzirdējuši.
“Yahweh, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, which is what we have always heard.
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?
And there is no nation in the world like Israel [RHQ]. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you rescued. You performed great and awesome miracles, rescuing our ancestors from [being slaves in] Egypt, and expelling the people of other people-groups [who were in Canaan].
22 Un Tu Savus Israēla ļaudis Sev esi cēlis par tautu mūžīgi, un Tu Kungs tiem esi palicis par Dievu.
You have caused us your Israeli people to belong to you forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our 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!
“And now Yahweh, I pray that you will cause the things that you have promised to do for me and my descendants [MTY] to be fulfilled forever.
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.
When that happens, you [MTY] will be famous forever. And people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, is the God who rules Israel!’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants [MTY] of mine who will rule.
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 revealed to me that you will cause [some of] my descendants to become kings. So I am brave enough to pray like this to you.
26 Tad nu, Kungs, Tu esi Dievs, un esi runājis uz Savu kalpu šo labumu.
Yahweh, you are God! You have promised to do these good things for me.
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.
And now you, Yahweh, have [promised to] bless my descendants [MTY], in order that they will continue to rule forever. That will happen because you, Yahweh, are the one who has blessed them, and you will keep blessing them forever.”
