Chronicles I 17
1 And it came to pass as David lived 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.
Cum autem habitaret David in domo sua, dixit ad Nathan prophetam: Ecce ego habito in domo cedrina: arca autem foederis Domini sub pellibus est.
2 And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God [is] with you.
Et ait Nathan ad David: Omnia, quae in corde tuo sunt, fac: Deus enim tecum est.
3 And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, [saying],
Igitur nocte illa factus est sermo Domini ad Nathan, dicens:
4 Go and say to David my servant, Thus said the Lord, You shall not build me a house for me to dwell in it.
Vade, et loquere David servo meo: Haec dicit Dominus: Non aedificabis tu mihi domum ad habitandum.
5 For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, but I have been in a tabernacle and a tent,
Neque enim mansi in domo ex eo tempore, quo eduxi Israel, usque ad diem hanc: sed fui semper mutans loca tabernaculi, et in tentorio
6 in all places through which I have gone with all Israel: did I ever speak to [any] one tribe of Israel whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, [Why is it] that you have not built me a house of cedar?
manens cum omni Israel. Numquid locutus sum saltem uni Iudicum Israel, quibus praeceperam, ut pascerent populum meum, et dixi: Quare non aedificastis mihi domum cedrinam?
7 And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheepfold, from following the flocks, to be a ruler over my people Israel:
Nunc itaque sic loqueris ad servum meum David: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ego tuli te, cum in pascuis sequereris gregem, ut esses dux populi mei Israel.
8 and I was with you in all places whither you went, and I destroyed all your enemies from before you, and I made for you a name according to the name of the great ones that are upon the earth.
Et fui tecum quocumque perrexisti: et interfeci omnes inimicos tuos coram te, fecique tibi nomen quasi unius magnorum, qui celebrantur in terra.
9 And 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,
Et dedi locum populo meo Israel: plantabitur, et habitabit in eo, et ultra non commovebitur: nec filii iniquitatis atterent eos, sicut a principio,
10 and from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel. Also I have humbled all your enemies, and I will increase you, and the Lord will build you a house.
ex diebus quibus dedi iudices populo meo Israel, et humiliavi universos inimicos tuos. Annuncio ergo tibi, quod aedificaturus sit tibi Dominus domum.
11 And it shall come to pass when your days shall be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
Cumque impleveris dies tuos ut vadas ad patres tuos, suscitabo semen tuum post te, quod erit de filiis tuis: et stabiliam regnum eius.
12 He shall build me a house, and I will set up his throne for ever.
Ipse aedificabit mihi domum, et firmabo solium eius usque in aeternum.
13 I 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 you.
Ego ero ei in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium: et misericordiam meam non auferam ab eo, sicut abstuli ab eo, qui ante te fuit.
14 And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be set up for ever.
Et statuam eum in domo mea, et in regno meo usque in sempiternum: et thronus eius erit firmissimus in perpetuum.
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
Iuxta omnia verba haec, et iuxta universam visionem istam, sic locutus est Nathan ad David.
16 And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what [is] my house, that you have loved me for ever?
Cumque venisset rex David, et sedisset coram Domino, dixit: Quis ego sum Domine Deus, et quae domus mea, ut praestares mihi talia?
17 And these things were little in your sight, O God: you have also spoken concerning the house of your servant for a long time to come, and you have looked upon me as a man looks upon his fellow, and have exalted me, O Lord God.
Sed et hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo, ideoque locutus es super domum servi tui etiam in futurum: et fecisti me spectabilem super omnes homines Domine Deus.
18 What shall David do more toward you to glorify [you]? and you know your servant.
Quid ultra addere potest David, cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum, et cognoveris eum?
19 And you have wrought all this greatness according to your heart.
Domine propter famulum tuum iuxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc, et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia.
20 O Lord, there is none like you, and there is no God beside you, according to all things which we have heard with our ears.
Domine, non est similis tui: et non est alius Deus absque te, ex omnibus, quos audivimus auribus nostris.
21 Neither is there another nation upon the earth [such] as your 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 your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt.
Quis enim est alius, ut populus tuus Israel, gens una in terra, ad quam perrexit Deus, ut liberaret, et faceret populum sibi, et magnitudine sua atque terroribus eiiceret nationes a facie eius, quem de Aegypto liberarat?
22 And you have appointed your people Israel as a people to yourself for ever; and you, Lord, did become a God to them.
Et posuisti populum tuum Israel tibi in populum usque in aeternum, et tu Domine factus es Deus eius.
23 And now, Lord, let the word which you spoke to your servant, and concerning his house, be confirmed for ever, and do you as you have spoken.
Nunc igitur Domine, sermo, quem locutus es famulo tuo, et super domum eius, confirmetur in perpetuum, et fac sicut locutus es.
24 And let your name [be] established and magnified for ever, [men] saying, Lord, Lord, Almighty God of Israel: and [let] the house of your servant David [be] established before you.
Permaneatque et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum: et dicatur: Dominus exercituum Deus Israel, et domus David servi eius permanens coram eo.
25 For you, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build him a house; therefore your servant has found a willingness to pray before you.
Tu enim Domine Deus meus revelasti auriculam servi tui, ut aedificares ei domum: et idcirco invenit servus tuus fiduciam, ut oret coram te.
26 And now, Lord, you yourself are God, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant.
Nunc ergo Domine tu es Deus: et locutus es ad servum tuum tanta beneficia.
27 And now you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it should continue for ever before you: for you, Lord, have blessed [it], and do you bless [it] for ever.
Et coepisti benedicere domui servi tui, ut sit semper coram te: te enim Domine benedicente, benedicta erit in perpetuum.
