Παραλειπομένων Αʹ 17

1 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς κατῴκησεν Δαυιδ ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Ναθαν τὸν προφήτην ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ κατοικῶ ἐν οἴκῳ κεδρίνῳ καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης κυρίου ὑποκάτω δέρρεων

Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, See, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remains under curtains.

2 καὶ εἶπεν Ναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ πᾶν τὸ ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ σου ποίει ὅτι ὁ θεὸς μετὰ σοῦ

Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.

3 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ναθαν λέγων

And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

4 πορεύου καὶ εἰπὸν πρὸς Δαυιδ τὸν παῖδά μου οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος οὐ σὺ οἰκοδομήσεις μοι οἶκον τοῦ κατοικῆσαί με ἐν αὐτῷ

Go and tell David my servant, Thus says the LORD, You shall not build me an house to dwell in:

5 ὅτι οὐ κατῴκησα ἐν οἴκῳ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνήγαγον τὸν Ισραηλ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἤμην ἐν σκηνῇ καὶ ἐν καταλύματι

For I have not dwelled in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

6 ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς διῆλθον ἐν παντὶ Ισραηλ εἰ λαλῶν ἐλάλησα πρὸς μίαν φυλὴν Ισραηλ τοῦ ποιμαίνειν τὸν λαόν μου λέγων ὅτι οὐκ ᾠκοδομήκατέ μοι οἶκον κέδρινον

Wherever I have walked with all Israel, spoke I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have you not built me an house of cedars?

7 καὶ νῦν οὕτως ἐρεῖς τῷ δούλῳ μου Δαυιδ τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἔλαβόν σε ἐκ τῆς μάνδρας ἐξόπισθεν τῶν ποιμνίων τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ

Now therefore thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that you should be ruler over my people Israel:

8 καὶ ἤμην μετὰ σοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπορεύθης καὶ ἐξωλέθρευσα πάντας τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ἀπὸ προσώπου σου καὶ ἐποίησά σοι ὄνομα κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα τῶν μεγάλων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

And I have been with you wherever you have walked, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

9 καὶ θήσομαι τόπον τῷ λαῷ μου Ισραηλ καὶ καταφυτεύσω αὐτόν καὶ κατασκηνώσει καθ’ ἑαυτὸν καὶ οὐ μεριμνήσει ἔτι καὶ οὐ προσθήσει ἀδικία τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι αὐτὸν καθὼς ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς

Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

10 καὶ ἀφ’ ἡμερῶν ὧν ἔταξα κριτὰς ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ καὶ ἐταπείνωσα ἅπαντας τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου καὶ αὐξήσω σε καὶ οἶκον οἰκοδομήσει σοι κύριος

And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you an house.

11 καὶ ἔσται ὅταν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ ἡμέραι σου καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων σου καὶ ἀναστήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου μετὰ σέ ὃς ἔσται ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας σου καὶ ἑτοιμάσω τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ

And it shall come to pass, when your days be expired that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

12 αὐτὸς οἰκοδομήσει μοι οἶκον καὶ ἀνορθώσω τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος

He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

13 ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ εἰς πατέρα καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται μοι εἰς υἱόν καὶ τὸ ἔλεός μου οὐκ ἀποστήσω ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀπέστησα ἀπὸ τῶν ὄντων ἔμπροσθέν σου

I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before you:

14 καὶ πιστώσω αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ μου καὶ ἐν βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος καὶ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἀνωρθωμένος ἕως αἰῶνος

But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for ever more.

15 κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ὅρασιν ταύτην οὕτως ἐλάλησεν Ναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

16 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυιδ καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἀπέναντι κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν τίς εἰμι ἐγώ κύριε ὁ θεός καὶ τίς ὁ οἶκός μου ὅτι ἠγάπησάς με ἕως αἰῶνος

And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me till now?

17 καὶ ἐσμικρύνθη ταῦτα ἐνώπιόν σου ὁ θεός καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδός σου ἐκ μακρῶν καὶ ἐπεῖδές με ὡς ὅρασις ἀνθρώπου καὶ ὕψωσάς με κύριε ὁ θεός

And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; for you have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

18 τί προσθήσει ἔτι Δαυιδ πρὸς σὲ τοῦ δοξάσαι καὶ σὺ τὸν δοῦλόν σου οἶδας

What can David speak more to you for the honor of your servant? for you know your servant.

19 καὶ κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐποίησας τὴν πᾶσαν μεγαλωσύνην

O LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

20 κύριε οὐκ ἔστιν ὅμοιός σοι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν πλὴν σοῦ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν ἐν ὠσὶν ἡμῶν

O LORD, there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

21 καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὡς ὁ λαός σου Ισραηλ ἔθνος ἔτι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὡς ὡδήγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς τοῦ λυτρώσασθαι ἑαυτῷ λαὸν τοῦ θέσθαι ἑαυτῷ ὄνομα μέγα καὶ ἐπιφανὲς τοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου λαοῦ σου οὓς ἐλυτρώσω ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἔθνη

And what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make you a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before your people whom you have redeemed out of Egypt?

22 καὶ ἔδωκας τὸν λαόν σου Ισραηλ σεαυτῷ λαὸν ἕως αἰῶνος καὶ σύ κύριε αὐτοῖς εἰς θεόν

For your people Israel did you make your own people for ever; and you, LORD, became their God.

23 καὶ νῦν κύριε ὁ λόγος σου ὃν ἐλάλησας πρὸς τὸν παῖδά σου καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ πιστωθήτω ἕως αἰῶνος

Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as you have said.

24 λεγόντων κύριε κύριε παντοκράτωρ θεὸς Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ οἶκος Δαυιδ παιδός σου ἀνωρθωμένος ἐναντίον σου

Let it even be established, that your name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David your servant be established before you.

25 ὅτι σύ κύριε ἤνοιξας τὸ οὖς τοῦ παιδός σου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον διὰ τοῦτο εὗρεν ὁ παῖς σου τοῦ προσεύξασθαι κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου

For you, O my God, have told your servant that you will build him an house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray before you.

26 καὶ νῦν κύριε σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου τὰ ἀγαθὰ ταῦτα

And now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this goodness to your servant:

27 καὶ νῦν ἤρξω τοῦ εὐλογῆσαι τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδός σου τοῦ εἶναι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐναντίον σου ὅτι σύ κύριε εὐλόγησας καὶ εὐλόγησον εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may be before you for ever: for you bless, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
