Kings II 7
1 And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side [free] from all his enemies round about him;
Og det skete, der Kongen sad i sit Hus, og Herren havde skaffet ham Rolighed trindt omkring for alle hans Fjender,
2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent.
da sagde Kongen til Nathan, Profeten: Kære, se, jeg bor i et Hus af Cedertræ, og Guds Ark bor inden for Tæpper.
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go and do all that [is] in your heart, for the Lord [is] with you.
Og Nathan sagde til Kongen: Gak, gør alt det, som er i dit Hjerte; thi Herren er med dig.
4 And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
Men det skete i den samme Nat, at Herrens Ord skete til Nathan og sagde:
5 Go, and say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord, You shall not build me a house for me to dwell in.
Gak og sig til min Tjener, til David: Saaledes sagde Herren: Skulde du bygge mig et Hus, som jeg skulde bo udi?
6 For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent,
da jeg ikke har boet i et Hus, fra den Dag, jeg opførte Israels Børn af Ægypten og indtil denne Dag, men jeg vandrede i Paulun og i Tabernakel.
7 wherever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built me a house of Cedar?
Ihvor jeg vandrede iblandt alle Israels Børn, har jeg der talt noget Ord med nogen i Israels Stammer, hvem jeg havde befalet at vogte mit Folk Israel, og sagt: Hvi bygge I mig ikke et Hus af Cedertræ?
8 And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheep-cote, that you should be a prince over my people, over Israel.
Men nu skal du sige saaledes til min Tjener David: Saaledes sagde den Herre Zebaoth: Jeg tog dig fra Faarestien, fra Faarene, til at være en Fyrste over mit Folk, over Israel,
9 And I was with you wherever you went, and I destroyed all your enemies before you, and I made you renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.
og jeg har været med dig, ihvor du gik, og har udryddet alle dine Fjender for dit Ansigt og gjort dig et stort Navn, som de stores Navn, som ere paa Jorden,
10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more afflict them, as he [has done] from the beginning,
og jeg har beredet mit Folk Israel et Sted og plantet det, at det skal bo paa sit Sted og ikke ydermere forstyrres, og uretfærdige Folk skulle ikke blive ved at plage det, som i Begyndelsen,
11 from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give you rest from all your enemies, and the Lord will tell you that you shall build a house to him.
og som fra den Dag, der jeg gav Dommere Befaling over mit Folk, Israel; og jeg giver dig Ro for alle dine Fjender, og Herren kundgør dig, at Herren vil gøre dig et Hus.
12 And it shall come to pass when your days shall have been fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even your own issue, and I will establish his kingdom.
Naar dine Dage ere til Ende, og du ligger med dine Fædre, da vil jeg oprejse din Sæd efter dig, ham, som skal komme af dit Liv, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Rige.
13 He shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever.
Han skal bygge mit Navn et Hus, og jeg vil stadfæste hans Riges Stol evindelig.
14 I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.
Jeg vil være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn, hvem jeg, naar han handler ilde, vil straffe med Menneskens Ris og Menneskens Børns Plager;
15 But my mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.
men min Miskundhed skal ikke vige fra ham, saaledes som jeg lod den vige fra Saul, hvem jeg borttog fra dit Ansigt.
16 And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.
Men dit Hus og dit Rige skal blive bestandigt evindeligt for dit Ansigt, din Stol skal være fast evindelig.
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
Efter alle disse Ord og efter alt dette Syn talede Nathan til David.
18 And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that you have loved me hitherto?
Da gik Kong David ind og blev for Herrens Ansigt og sagde: Hvo er jeg, Herre, Herre! og hvad er mit Hus, at du har ført mig hidindtil?
19 Whereas I was very little before you, O Lord, my Lord, yet you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a long time to [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?
Men dette var endnu lidet agtet for dine Øjne, Herre, Herre! saa du talede og om din Tjeners Hus i Fremtiden; og dette er Loven for Mennesker, o Herre, Herre!
20 And what shall David yet say to you? and now you know your servant, O Lord, my Lord.
Og hvad skal David ydermere blive ved at tale til dig? thi du kender din Tjener, Herre, Herre!
21 And you have wrought for your servant's sake, and according to your heart you have wrought all this greatness, to make it known to your servant,
For dit Ords Skyld og efter dit Hjerte har du gjort al denne store Ting, at du vilde lade din Tjener vide det.
22 that he may magnify you, O my Lord; for there is no one like you, and there is no God, but you among all of whom we have heard with our ears.
Derfor er du stor, Herre Gud! thi der er ingen som du, og der er ingen Gud uden du, efter alt det, som vi have hørt med vore Øren.
23 And what other nation in the earth [is] as your people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make you a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that you should cast out nations an [their] tabernacles from the presence of your people, whom you did redeem for yourself out of Egypt?
Og hvor er et Folk paa Jorden som dit Folk, som Israel, for hvis Skyld Gud gik hen for at udløse sig det til et Folk og for at sætte sig et Navn og at gøre for eders Skyld de store og forfærdelige Ting imod dit Land for dit Folks Ansigt, som du udløste dig af Ægypten, fra Hedningerne og deres Guder.
24 And you has prepared for yourself your people Israel to be a people for ever, and you, Lord, are become their God.
Og du beredte dig dit Folk Israel, dig til et Folk evindelig, og du, Herre! du er bleven deres Gud.
25 And now, O my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which you have spoken concerning your servant and his house: and now as you have said,
Og nu, Herre Gud! det Ord, som du talede over din Tjener og over hans Hus, lad det staa fast evindelig, og gør, ligesom du har talt.
26 Let your name be magnified for ever.
Saa bliver dit Navn stort til evig Tid, at man skal sige: Herren Zebaoth er Gud over Israel; og David din Tjeners Hus skal blive fast for dit Ansigt.
27 Almighty Lord God of Israel, you have uncovered the ear of your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore your servant has found [in] his heart to pray this prayer to you.
Thi du, Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud! du har aabenbaret for din Tjeners Øre og sagt: Jeg vil bygge dig et Hus; derfor har din Tjener fundet sit Hjerte til at bede denne Bøn til dig.
28 And now, O Lord my Lord, you are God; and your words will be true, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant.
Og nu, Herre, Herre! du er den Gud, og dine Ord skulle blive Sandhed, og du har talt dette gode til din Tjener.
29 And now begin and bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you; for you, O Lord, my Lord, have spoken, and the house of your servant shall be blessed with your blessing so as to continue for ever.
Saa begynd nu og velsign din Tjeners Hus, at det maa blive evindelig for dit Ansigt; thi du, Herre, Herre! du har talt det, og med din Velsignelse skal din Tjeners Hus velsignes i Evighed.
