1And it came to pass as David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar , but the ark of the covenant of the Lord [is] under [curtains] of skins.
1When David was living in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I live in a cedar house, but the ark of Yahweh’s covenant is in a tent.”
2And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God [is] with thee.
2Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”
3And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, [saying],
3That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4Go and say to David my servant, Thus said the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in it.
4“Go and tell David my servant, ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in;
5For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, but I have been in a tabernacle and a tent ,
5for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.
6in all places through which I have gone with all Israel: did I ever speak to [any] one tribe of Israelwhom I commanded to feed my people, saying, [Why is it] that ye have not built me a house of cedar?
6In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
7And now thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the sheepfold, from following the flocks, to be a ruler over my people Israel:
7“Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel.
8and I was with thee in all places whither thou wentest, and I destroyed all thine enemies from before thee, and I made for thee a name according to the name of the great ones that are upon the earth.
8I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
9And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant him, and he shall dwell by himself, and shall no longer be anxious; and the son of iniquity shall no longer afflict him, as at the beginning,
9I 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. The children of wickedness will not waste them any more, as at the first,
10and from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel. Also I have humbled all thine enemies, and I will increase thee, and the Lord will build thee a house.
10and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.
11And it shall come to pass when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
11It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12He shall build me a house, and I will set up his throne for ever.
12He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
13I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and my mercy will I not withdraw from him, as I withdrew [it] from them that were before thee.
13I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you;
14And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be set up for ever.
14but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”
15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
16And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what [is] my house, that thou hast loved me for ever?
16Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
17And these things were little in thy sight, O God: thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servantfor a long time to come, and thou hast looked upon me as a man looks upon his fellow, and hast exalted me, O Lord God.
17This was a small thing in your eyes, O God, but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.
18What shall David do more toward thee to glorify [thee]? and thou knowest thy servant.
18What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.
19And thou hast wrought all this greatness according to thine heart.
19Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
20O Lord, there is none like thee, and there is no God beside thee, according to all things which we have heard with our ears.
20Yahweh, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21Neither is there another nation upon the earth [such] as thy people Israel, whereas God led him in the way, to redeem a people for himself, to make for himself a great and glorious name, to cast out nations from before thy people, whom thou redeemedst out of Egypt.
21What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people whom you redeemed out of Egypt?
22And thou hast appointed thy people Israel as a people to thyself for ever; and thou, Lord, didst become a God to them.
22For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
23And now, Lord, let the word which thou spokest to thy servant, and concerning his house, be confirmed for ever, and do thou as thou hast spoken.
23Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
24And let thy name [be] established and magnified for ever, [men] saying, Lord, Lord, Almighty God of Israel: and [let] the house of thy servant David [be] established before thee.
24Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’
25For thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore thy servant has found a willingness to pray before thee.
25For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.
26And now, Lord, thou thyself art God, and thou hast spoken these good things concerning thy servant.
26Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.
27And now thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, so that it should continue for ever before thee: for thou, Lord, hast blessed [it], and do thou bless [it] for ever.
27Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
