|
1. And it came to pass H1961 , when H3588 the king H4428 sat H3427 in his house H1004 , and the LORD H3068 had given him rest H5117 round about H4480 H5439 from all H4480 H3605 his enemies H341 ;
|
|
2. that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
|
2. That the king H4428 said H559 unto H413 Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 , See H7200 now H4994 , I H595 dwell H3427 in a house H1004 of cedar H730 , but the ark H727 of God H430 dwelleth H3427 within H8432 curtains H3407 .
|
|
3. Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart; for Yahweh is with you.

|
4. And it came to pass H1961 that H1931 night H3915 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Nathan H5416 , saying H559 ,

|
5. Go and tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh, Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
|
5. Go H1980 and tell H559 H413 my servant H5650 David H1732 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Shalt thou H859 build H1129 me a house H1004 for me to dwell H3427 in?
|
|
6. for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tent.
|
6. Whereas H3588 I have not H3808 dwelt H3427 in any house H1004 since the time H4480 H3117 that I brought up H5927 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , even to H5704 this H2088 day H3117 , but have H1961 walked H1980 in a tent H168 and in a tabernacle H4908 .
|
|
7. In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, spoke I a word with any of 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?
|
7. In all H3605 the places wherein H834 I have walked H1980 with all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 spoke H1696 I a word H1697 with H854 any H259 of the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 , whom H834 I commanded H6680 to feed H7462 H853 my people H5971 H853 Israel H3478 , saying H559 , Why H4100 build H1129 ye not H3808 me a house H1004 of cedar H730 ?
|
|
8. Now therefore thus shall you tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel;
|
8. Now H6258 therefore H3541 so shalt thou say H559 unto my servant H5650 David H1732 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , I H589 took H3947 thee from H4480 the sheepcote H5116 , from following H4480 H310 the sheep H6629 , to be H1961 ruler H5057 over H5921 my people H5971 , over H5921 Israel H3478 :
|
|
9. and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
|
9. And I was H1961 with H5973 thee whithersoever H3605 H834 thou wentest H1980 , and have cut off H3772 H853 all H3605 thine enemies H341 out of thy sight H4480 H6440 , and have made H6213 thee a great H1419 name H8034 , like unto the name H8034 of the great H1419 men that H834 are in the earth H776 .
|
|
10. 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; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
|
10. Moreover I will appoint H7760 a place H4725 for my people H5971 Israel H3478 , and will plant H5193 them , that they may dwell H7931 in a place H8478 of their own , and move H7264 no H3808 more H5750 ; neither H3808 shall the children H1121 of wickedness H5766 afflict H6031 them any more H3254 , as H834 formerly H7223 ,
|
|
11. and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.
|
11. And as since H4480 the time H3117 that H834 I commanded H6680 judges H8199 to be over H5921 my people H5971 Israel H3478 , and have caused thee to rest H5117 from all H4480 H3605 thine enemies H341 . Also the LORD H3068 telleth H5046 thee that H3588 he will make H6213 thee a house H1004 .
|
|
12. When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
|
12. And when H3588 thy days H3117 be fulfilled H4390 , and thou shalt sleep H7901 with H854 thy fathers H1 , I will set up H6965 H853 thy seed H2233 after H310 thee, which H834 shall proceed H3318 out of thy bowels H4480 H4578 , and I will establish H3559 H853 his kingdom H4467 .
|
|
13. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
|
13. He H1931 shall build H1129 a house H1004 for my name H8034 , and I will establish H3559 H853 the throne H3678 of his kingdom H4467 forever H5704 H5769 .
|
|
14. I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
|
14. I H589 will be H1961 his father H1 , and he H1931 shall be H1961 my son H1121 . If H834 he commit iniquity H5753 , I will chasten H3198 him with the rod H7626 of men H376 , and with the stripes H5061 of the children H1121 of men H120 :
|
|
15. but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
|
15. But my mercy H2617 shall not H3808 depart away H5493 from H4480 him, as H834 I took H5493 it from H4480 H5973 Saul H7586 , whom H834 I put away H5493 before H4480 H6440 thee.
|
|
16. Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before you: your throne shall be established forever.
|
16. And thine house H1004 and thy kingdom H4467 shall be established H539 forever H5704 H5769 before H6440 thee : thy throne H3678 shall be H1961 established H3559 forever H5704 H5769 .

|
17. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
|
17. According to all H3605 these H428 words H1697 , and according to all H3605 this H2088 vision H2384 , so H3651 did Nathan H5416 speak H1696 unto H413 David H1732 .
|
|
18. Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
|
18. Then went H935 king H4428 David H1732 in , and sat H3427 before H6440 the LORD H3069 , and he said H559 , Who H4310 am I H595 , O Lord H136 GOD H3069 ? and what H4310 is my house H1004 , that H3588 thou hast brought H935 me hitherto H5704 H1988 ?
|
|
19. This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, Lord Yahweh!
|
19. And this H2063 was yet H5750 a small H6994 thing in thy sight H5869 , O Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; but thou hast spoken H1696 also H1571 of H413 thy servant H5650 's house H1004 for a great while to come H4480 H7350 . And is this H2063 the manner H8452 of man H120 , O Lord H136 GOD H3069 ?
|
|
20. What can David say more to you? for you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.
|
20. And what H4100 can David H1732 say H3254 H1696 more H5750 unto H413 thee? for thou H859 , Lord H136 GOD H3069 , knowest H3045 H853 thy servant H5650 .
|
|
21. For your word's sake, and according to your own heart, have you worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
|
21. For thy word's sake H5668 H1697 , and according to thine own heart H3820 , hast thou done H6213 H853 all H3605 these H2063 great things H1420 , to make H853 thy servant H5650 know H3045 them .
|
|
22. Therefore you are great, Yahweh God: for there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
|
22. Wherefore H5921 H3651 thou art great H1431 , O LORD H3068 God H136 : for H3588 there is none H369 like thee H3644 , neither H369 is there any God H430 beside H2108 thee , according to all H3605 that H834 we have heard H8085 with our ears H241 .
|
|
23. 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 him a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeem to you out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
|
23. And what H4310 one H259 nation H1471 in the earth H776 is like thy people H5971 , even like Israel H3478 , whom H834 God H430 went H1980 to redeem H6299 for a people H5971 to himself , and to make H7760 him a name H8034 , and to do H6213 for you great H1420 things and terrible H3372 , for thy land H776 , before H4480 H6440 thy people H5971 , which H834 thou redeemedst H6299 to thee from Egypt H4480 H4714 , from the nations H1471 and their gods H430 ?
|
|
24. You did establish to yourself your people Israel to be a people to you forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
|
24. For thou hast confirmed H3559 to thyself H853 thy people H5971 Israel H3478 to be a people H5971 unto thee forever H5704 H5769 : and thou H859 , LORD H3068 , art become H1961 their God H430 .
|
|
25. Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm you it forever, and do as you have spoken.
|
25. And now H6258 , O LORD H3068 God H430 , the word H1697 that H834 thou hast spoken H1696 concerning H5921 thy servant H5650 , and concerning H5921 his house H1004 , establish H6965 it , forever H5704 H5769 , and do H6213 as H834 thou hast said H1696 .
|
|
26. Let your name be magnified forever, saying, Yahweh of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.
|
26. And let thy name H8034 be magnified H1431 forever H5704 H5769 , saying H559 , The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 is the God H430 over H5921 Israel H3478 : and let the house H1004 of thy servant H5650 David H1732 be H1961 established H3559 before H6440 thee.
|
|
27. For you, Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore has your servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
|
27. For H3588 thou H859 , O LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , God H430 of Israel H3478 , hast revealed H1540 H241 to thy servant H5650 , saying H559 , I will build H1129 thee a house H1004 : therefore H5921 H3651 hath thy servant H5650 found H4672 in H853 his heart H3820 to pray H6419 H853 this H2063 prayer H8605 unto H413 thee.
|
|
28. Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant:
|
28. And now H6258 , O Lord H136 GOD H3069 , thou H859 art that H1931 God H430 , and thy words H1697 be H1961 true H571 , and thou hast promised H1696 H853 this H2063 goodness H2896 unto H413 thy servant H5650 :
|
|
29. now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it: and with your blessing let the house of your servant be blessed forever.
|
29. Therefore now H6258 let it please H2794 thee to bless H1288 H853 the house H1004 of thy servant H5650 , that it may continue H1961 forever H5769 before H6440 thee: for H3588 thou H859 , O Lord H136 GOD H3069 , hast spoken H1696 it : and with thy blessing H4480 H1293 let the house H1004 of thy servant H5650 be blessed H1288 forever H5769 .
