Otra Samuela 7
1 Un notikās, kad ķēniņš savā namā sēdēja un Tas Kungs viņam bija mieru devis no visiem viņa ienaidniekiem visapkārt,
By now the king was comfortable in his palace and the Lord had given him peace from all the enemy nations around him.
2 Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz pravieti Nātanu: redzi, es dzīvoju ciedru namā, un Tā Kunga šķirsts mīt starp telts deķiem.
So he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look at me—I live in a palace made of cedar, but the Ark of God is still in a tent.”
3 Tad Nātans sacīja uz ķēniņu: ej un dari visu, kas tavā sirdī, jo Tas Kungs ir ar tevi.
“Go ahead, do whatever you want, for the Lord is with you,” Nathan told the king.
4 Bet tai pašā naktī Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Nātanu un sacīja:
But that night the Lord spoke to Nathan and told him,
5 Ej un saki Dāvidam, Manam kalpam: tā saka Tas Kungs: Vai tev būs Man namu celt, Man par mājas vietu?
“Go and tell my servant David, This is what the Lord says: Should you be the one to build a house for me to live in?
6 Jo Es namā neesmu mitis no tās dienas, kad Israēla bērnus esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes, līdz šai dienai, bet esmu staigājis teltī un dzīvoklī.
For I have never lived in a house, from the time I led the Israelites out of Egypt up till now. I have always moved from place to place, living in a tent and a Tabernacle.
7 Visu to laiku, kad Es ar visiem Israēla bērniem esmu staigājis, vai esmu vienu vārdu runājis uz kādu no Israēla ciltīm, kam Es pavēlējis, Manus Israēla 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?’
8 Tad nu tev tā būs sacīt uz Manu kalpu Dāvidu: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: Es tevi no ganības, no sīkiem lopiem esmu ņēmis, būt valdītājam pār Maniem Israēla ļaudīm.
So then, 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.
9 Un Es ar tevi esmu bijis visur, kur esi staigājis, un esmu izdeldējis visus tavus ienaidniekus tavā priekšā un tev darījis augstu vārdu, kā lieliem kungiem vārds ir virs zemes.
I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have destroyed all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on earth.
10 Un Saviem Israēla ļaudīm Es esmu vietu gādājis un tos dēstījis, ka tie savā vietā dzīvo un vairs netop šaubīti, un ļauni 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,
11 Un no tās dienas, kad Es soģus iecēlu pār Saviem Israēla ļaudīm. Un Es tev dodu mieru no visiem taviem ienaidniekiem. Un Tas Kungs tev sludina, ka Tas Kungs tev grib namu celt.
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.
12 Kad tavs laiks būs pagājis un tu dusēsi līdz ar saviem tēviem, tad Es uzcelšu tavu dzimumu pēc tevis, kas no tavām miesām nāks, tam Es 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.
13 Tas uztaisīs namu Manam vārdam, un Es apstiprināšu viņa valstības krēslu mūžīgi.
He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.
14 Es viņam būšu par tēvu, un viņš Man būs par dēlu. Kad tas būs noziedzies, tad Es viņu pārmācīšu ar cilvēku rīkstēm un ar cilvēka bērnu sitieniem;
I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. If he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod like people do, like a parent punishing a child.
15 Bet Savu žēlastību Es no viņa neatraušu, kā Es to esmu atrāvis no Saula, ko Es esmu atmetis tavā priekšā.
But I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of Saul who I removed before you.
16 Un tavs nams un tava valstība pastāvēs tavā priekšā mūžīgi: tavs goda krēsls būs stiprs mūžīgi.
Your house and your kingdom will last forever; your dynasty will be secure forever.”
17 Un pēc visiem šiem vārdiem un pēc visas šīs parādīšanas Nātans tā runāja uz Dāvidu.
This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
18 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?
19 Un taču tas vēl ir maz Tavās acīs, Kungs, Dievs, bet Tu Sava kalpa namam esi runājis arī par nākošiem ilgiem laikiem, un tā pēc cilvēka vīzes, Kungs, Dievs!
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. Is this your usual way of dealing with human beings, Lord God?
20 Un ko lai nu Dāvids vēl uz Tevi runā? Jo Tu pazīsti Savu kalpu, Kungs, Dievs.
What more can I, David, tell you? You know exactly what your servant is like, Lord God.
21 Sava vārda dēļ un pēc Savas sirds Tu visas šās lielās lietas esi darījis un tās Savam kalpam sludinājis.
You're doing all this for me and you have explained it to me, your servant, and because of your promise and because it's what you want to do.
22 Tāpēc Tu esi augsts, Kungs Dievs. Jo neviena nav kā Tu, un Dieva nav kā Tu vien pēc visa, ko esam dzirdējuši savām ausīm.
How great you are, Lord God! There really is no-one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.
23 Un kur gan kāda tauta virs zemes kā Tavi ļaudis, kā Israēls? Ko Dievs būtu gājis atpestīt Sev par ļaudīm un celt Sev vārdu un priekš viņiem darīt tādas lielas briesmīgas lietas Savai zemei, Savu ļaužu priekšā, ko Tu no Ēģiptes atpestījis, no pagāniem un viņu elkiem.
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 and their gods before your people as you redeemed them from Egypt.
24 Un Tu Savus Israēla ļaudis Sev esi apstiprinājis par Saviem ļaudīm mūžīgi, un Tu, Kungs, tiem esi palicis par Dievu.
You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
25 Un nu, Kungs Dievs, to vārdu, ko Tu esi runājis par Savu kalpu un par viņa namu, piepildi to mūžīgi, un izdari, ko Tu esi runājis.
So now, Lord God, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and is confirmed forever. Please do as you have promised,
26 Tad Tavs vārds taps paaugstināts mūžīgi, un sacīs: Tas Kungs Cebaot ir Dievs pār Israēli, un Tava kalpa Dāvida nams pastāvēs Tavā priekšā.
and may your true nature be honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.
27 Jo Tu, Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs, Sava kalpa ausi esi atdarījis un sacījis: Es tev celšu namu. Tāpēc Tavs kalps iedrošinājies ar šo lūgšanu Tevi pielūgt.
Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to me, your servant, telling me, ‘I will build a house for you.’ That's why your servant has had the courage to pray this prayer to you.
28 Tad nu, Kungs, Dievs, Tu esi Dievs un Tavi vārdi ir patiesība, un Tu šo labumu uz Savu kalpu esi runājis.
Lord Almighty, you are God! Your words are truth, and you are the one who has promised these good things to your servant.
29 Un tas lai nu ir Tavs prāts, svētīt Sava kalpa namu, ka tas ir mūžīgi Tavā priekšā. Jo Tu, Kungs, Dievs, to esi runājis, un ar Tavu svētību Tava kalpa nams būs svētīts mūžīgi.
So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For you have spoken, Lord God, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”
