YLT
Young's Literal Translation
After
David had
settled
into
his palace
, he
said
to
Nathan the prophet, “Here
I am ,
living
in a house of cedar
, while
the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
is under a
tent.”
And
it
cometh
to
pass
as
David sat
in
his house
, that
David
saith
unto
Nathan the prophet, `Lo,
I am dwelling
in a house of cedars
, and
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
`
is '
under curtains;'
And Nathan replied
to
David, “Do
all that is in your
heart, for God is with you
. ”
and Nathan saith
unto
David, `
All that `
is '
in thy
heart do
, for God `
is '
with thee
. '
But
that night the
word of God came
to
Nathan, saying,
And
it
cometh
to
pass
on
that night that
a
word of God is
unto
Nathan, saying,
“
Go and tell
My servant David
that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says:
You
are
not the
one
to
build Me a
house in
which
to dwell .
`
Go ,
and thou
hast
said
unto
David
My servant ,
Thus
said
Jehovah,
Thou
dost
not build for
Me the
house to dwell in:
For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel
up out
of
Egypt
until
this day, but
I have
moved
from tent to
tent and dwelling
to
dwelling.
for I have not dwelt in a house from the day that
I brought up Israel
till
this day, and
I am
from tent unto
tent :
and from
the
tabernacle,
In
all
My
journeys
with
all the
Israelites
, have
I ever
asked
any
of the leaders
I appointed
to shepherd
My people, ‘
Why haven’t
you
built Me a house of cedar
? ’
whithersoever
I
have
walked
up
and
down
among
all Israel
, a
word
spake
I ,
with
one
of the judges
of
Israel,
whom
I commanded
to feed
My people, saying,
Why have
ye
not
built for
Me a house of cedars
?
Now then
, you
are
to tell
My servant David that
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says:
I took
you
from the pasture
, from following
the flock
, to be the
ruler
over My people Israel .
`And
now, thus
dost
thou
say
to My servant ,
to
David ,
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
I have
taken
thee
from the habitation
, from after
the sheep
, to be leader
over My people Israel ,
I have
been
with you
wherever
you
have
gone
, and I have
cut off all your
enemies from before
you.
Now
I
will
make
for you
a name like the greatest
in the land
.
and
I am
with thee
whithersoever
thou
hast
walked
, and I cut off all thine
enemies from thy
presence,
and
have
made
for thee
a name like the name
of
the
great
ones
who
`are'
in the earth
.
And I will
provide
a place for My people Israel and will
plant
them
so
that
they
may
dwell
in a
place of
their
own
and be
disturbed
no
more .
No
longer
will
the sons of wickedness
oppress
them
as they
did
at the
beginning
`
And I have
prepared
a place for My people Israel ,
and planted
it,
and
it
hath
dwelt
in its
place ,
and is
not
troubled
any
more ,
and
the sons of perverseness
add
not
to
wear
it
out
as at first,
and
have
done
since
the day
I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will
subdue
all your
enemies .
Moreover
, I declare to you
that the
LORD
will
build
a house for you.
yea,
even
from
the days
that
I appointed judges over My people Israel. `
And I have
humbled
all thine
enemies, and
I declare to thee
that a house doth
Jehovah
build
for thee,
And when your
days are
fulfilled and
you
go
to be
with your
fathers, I will
raise
up your
descendant
after you
, one
of your
own
sons, and I will
establish
his kingdom .
and it
hath
come
to
pass,
when thy
days have
been
fulfilled to go
with thy
fathers, that
I have
raised
up thy
seed
after thee
, who
is
of thy
sons, and I have
established
his kingdom ,
He will
build a
house
for Me, and I will
establish
his throne forever.
he doth
build for Me a
house
, and I have
established
his throne unto
the
age;
I will
be
his
Father, and he will
be
My
son .
And I
will
never
remove
My loving
devotion
from him as I removed
it from your
predecessor.
I am
to
him
for
a
father, and he is
to
Me
for
a
son ,
and My kindness
I
turn
not
aside
from him as I turned
it aside
from him
who
was
before
thee,
But
I will
set
him over
My house and My kingdom forever
, and his throne will
be
established forever
. ”
and
I have
established
him in
My house ,
and in
My kingdom unto
the
age
, and his throne is
established unto
the
age
. '
So
Nathan
relayed
to David
all the
words of
this entire
vision.
According
to all these
words ,
and
according
to
all
this vision ,
so
spake
Nathan
unto
David
.
Then
King
David went
in ,
sat
before the
LORD
, and said
, “
Who am I, O LORD
God, and what is
my house, that You
have
brought me this
far
?
And
David the
king
cometh
in and
sitteth
before Jehovah
, and saith
, `
Who `
am '
I, O Jehovah
God, and what my house, that Thou
hast
brought me hitherto
?
And as
if
this was
a
small thing
in Your
eyes, O God, You
have
spoken
about
the
future
of
the house of Your
servant and have
regarded
me as a man
of great
distinction
, O LORD
God .
And this is
small in Thine
eyes, O God, and
Thou
speakest
concerning
the house of thy
servant afar
off,
and hast
seen
me as a type
of the
man
who
is
on
high
, O Jehovah
God !
What more
can
David say
to
You
for so
honoring
Your
servant ?
For
You
know
Your
servant ,
`
What doth
David add
more
unto
Thee
for the
honour
of
Thy
servant ;
and
Thou
Thy
servant hast
known.
O LORD.
For the
sake of
Your
servant
and according to Your
own heart ,
You
have
accomplished
this
great
thing
and
revealed
all Your
greatness.
O Jehovah,
for Thy
servant's
sake ,
and according to Thine
own heart Thou
hast
done
all this
greatness ,
to
make
known
all
these
great
things
.
O LORD
, there is none like You
, and there is no God but
You
, according to everything
we have heard with our own
ears.
O Jehovah
, there is none like Thee
, and there is no god save
Thee
, according to all
that
we have heard with our ears.
And who is like
Your
people Israel —the
one nation on
earth whom God went
out
to redeem
as
a people for Himself?
You
made
a name for
Yourself
through
great and awesome
wonders
by
driving
out nations
from before
Your
people ,
whom You
redeemed
from
Egypt .
`
And who `
is '
as
Thy
people Israel ,
one nation in
the
earth whom God hath
gone
to ransom
to
Him
for
a people ,
to
make
for Thee
a name great and fearful,
to
cast
out from the
presence
of
Thy
people whom Thou
hast
ransomed
out
of
Egypt --
nations?
For
You
have
made
Your
people Israel Your
very
own
forever
, and You
, O LORD
, have
become
their
God.
Yea,
Thou
dost
appoint
Thy
people Israel to
Thee
for
a
people
unto
the
age
, and Thou
, O Jehovah
, hast
been
to
them
for
God.
And now, O LORD
, let
the word You
have
spoken concerning Your
servant and his house be established
forever.
Do as You
have
promised,
`
And now, O Jehovah
, the word that
Thou
hast
spoken concerning Thy
servant ,
and concerning
his house ,
let
be stedfast
unto
the
age,
and
do as Thou
hast
spoken;
so
that
Your
name
will
be
established
and magnified
forever
when
it is
said
, ‘
The LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, is God over
Israel .’
And may
the house of Your
servant David be
established before You.
and let
it be
stedfast
, and
Thy
name
is
great
unto
the age,
saying,
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, is God to
Israel ,
and the house of Thy
servant David is
established before Thee;
For You
, my God, have
revealed
to
Your
servant that
You
will
build a house for
him.
Therefore Your
servant has
found the
courage
to pray before You
.
for Thou
, O
my God, Thou
hast
uncovered
the
ear
of
Thy
servant --
to
build to
him
a house ,
therefore hath
Thy
servant found to pray before Thee
.
And now, O
LORD
, You
are
God !
And You
have
promised
this goodness to
Your
servant.
`
And now, Jehovah
, Thou
`art'
God Himself,
and Thou
speakest
concerning
Thy
servant
this goodness ;
So
now You
have
been pleased to bless the house of Your
servant, that
it
may
continue
forever
before You.
For You
, O LORD
, have
blessed it
, and it will
be
blessed forever
. ”
and
now ,
Thou
hast
been pleased to bless the house of Thy
servant, to
be
to
the
age
before Thee;
for Thou
, O Jehovah
, hast
blessed, and it is
blessed to
the
age
. '
