Young's Literal Translation
After
the king had
settled
into
his palace
and the
LORD
had
given him
rest from all his enemies around
him
,
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
when
the king sat
in
his house,
and Jehovah
hath
given rest to
him
round
about,
from all his enemies,
he
said
to
Nathan the prophet, “Here
I am
, living
in a house of cedar
, while
the ark of God remains
in a
tent
. ”
that
the
king
saith
unto
Nathan the prophet, `See,
I pray
thee
, I
am
dwelling
in a house of cedars
, and
the ark of God is
dwelling
in the
midst
of
the
curtain
. '
And Nathan replied
to
the king, “Go
and
do
all that is in your
heart, for the
LORD
is with you
. ”
And Nathan saith
unto
the king, `
All that `
is '
in thine
heart --
go
, do,
for Jehovah
`
is '
with thee
. '
But
that night the word of the
LORD
came
to
Nathan, saying,
And
it
cometh
to
pass
in
that night ,
that
the word of Jehovah
is
unto
Nathan, saying,
“
Go and tell
My servant David that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says:
Are
you
the
one
to
build for Me a house to
dwell
in?
`
Go ,
and thou
hast
said
unto
My servant ,
unto
David ,
Thus
said
Jehovah,
Dost
thou
build for Me a house for
My
dwelling
in?
For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I
brought
the
Israelites
up out of Egypt until
this day, but
I
have
moved
about
with
a tent as
My
dwelling
.
for I have not dwelt in a house even
from the day of
My
bringing
up the
sons
of
Israel
out of Egypt ,
even
unto
this day, and
am
walking
up
and
down
in
a tent and
in
a
tabernacle
.
In
all My
journeys
with
all the Israelites
, have I ever
asked
any
of the leaders
I appointed
to shepherd
My people Israel, ‘
Why haven’t
you
built Me a house of cedar
? ’
During
all `the
time'
that
I
have
walked
up
and
down
among
all the sons
of
Israel
, a
word
have I spoken
with
one
of the tribes
of
Israel
which
I commanded
to feed
my people Israel, saying,
`
Why have
ye
not
built to
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 comely
place
, from after
the flock, to be leader
over My people ,
over
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
gone, and I cut off all thine
enemies from thy
presence,
and
have
made
for thee
a great
name ,
as
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
appointed
a place for My people ,
for
Israel ,
and have
planted
it,
and
it
hath
tabernacled
in its
place ,
and it
is
not
troubled
any
more ,
and
the sons of perverseness
do
not
add
to
afflict
it
any
more,
as in
the beginning ,
and
have
done
since
the day I appointed judges over My people Israel .
I will
give
you
rest from all your
enemies .
The
LORD
declares
to you
that He
Himself
will
establish
a house for
you
.
even
from
the day that
I appointed judges over My people Israel ;
and
I have
given
rest to
thee
from all thine
enemies ,
and
Jehovah
hath
declared
to thee
that Jehovah
doth
make
for
thee
a house.
And
when your
days are fulfilled
and you
rest
with your
fathers, I will
raise
up your
descendant
after you,
who
will
come
from your
own
body
, and I
will
establish
his kingdom .
`
When thy
days are full,
and thou
hast
lain
with thy
fathers, then
I have
raised
up thy
seed
after thee
which
goeth
out
from thy
bowels
, and have
established
his kingdom ;
He will
build a house for My Name, and I will
establish
the throne of his kingdom forever
.
He doth
build a house for My Name, and I have
established
the throne of his kingdom unto
the
age
.
I will
be
his
Father, and he will
be
My
son .
When
he
does
wrong,
I will
discipline
him
with the
rod of men and with the
blows
of the sons of men.
I am
to
him
for
a
father, and he is
to
Me
for
a
son ;
whom
in
his
dealings
perversely
I have
even
reproved
with a
rod of men ,
and with strokes
of the sons of Adam,
But
My loving
devotion
will
never
be
removed
from him as I removed
it from Saul, whom I moved
out
of
your
way.
and
My kindness
doth
not
turn
aside
from him ,
as I turned
it aside
from Saul, whom I turned
aside
from
before
thee,
Your
house and kingdom will
endure
forever
before Me
, and
your
throne will
be
established forever
. ”
and
stedfast
`is'
thy
house and thy
kingdom unto
the
age
before thee
, thy
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
king David cometh
in and
sitteth
before Jehovah
, and saith
, `
Who `
am '
I, Lord Jehovah?
and what my house, that Thou
hast
brought me hitherto
?
And as
if
this was
a
small
thing
in Your
eyes, O
Lord GOD
, You
have
also spoken
about
the
future
of
the house of Your
servant .
Is
this Your
custom
with
man, O
Lord GOD?
And yet
this `is'
little
in Thine
eyes, Lord Jehovah
, and
Thou
dost
speak
also concerning
the house of Thy
servant afar
off;
and
this `is'
the
law
of
the
Man, Lord Jehovah.
What more
can
David say
to You
? For
You
know
Your
servant, O
Lord GOD
.
And
what doth
David add
more
to speak
unto
Thee
? and
Thou,
Thou
hast
known
Thy
servant, Lord Jehovah
.
For
the
sake
of Your
word and according to Your
own
heart, You
have
accomplished
this great
thing
and
revealed
it
to Your
servant.
Because
of Thy
word ,
and according to Thy
heart, Thou
hast
done
all
this greatness,
to cause
Thy
servant to
know
`it'
.
How
great You
are
, O
Lord
GOD !
For there is none like You
, and there is no God but
You
, according to everything
we have heard with our own
ears.
Therefore
Thou
hast
been
great, Jehovah
God ,
for 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
and to make a name for Himself?
You performed
great
and
awesome
wonders
by
driving
out
nations
and
their
gods
from
before
Your
people, whom You
redeemed for
Yourself
from
Egypt .
`
And who `
is '
as
Thy
people ,
as
Israel --
one nation in
the
earth ,
whom God hath
gone
to redeem to
Him
for
a people ,
and to make for
Him
a name --
and
to
do
for you the
greatness
--
even
fearful
things
for
Thy
land,
at
the
presence
of
Thy
people, whom Thou
hast
redeemed to
Thee
out
of
Egypt --
`among
the'
nations
and
their
gods?
For
You
have
established
Your
people Israel as
Your
very
own
forever
, and You
, O
LORD
, have
become
their
God.
Yea,
Thou
dost
establish
to
Thee
Thy
people Israel, to
Thee
for
a
people
unto
the
age,
and Thou
, Jehovah
, hast
been
to
them
for
God.
And now, O
LORD
God, confirm
forever
the word You
have
spoken concerning Your
servant and his house .
Do as You
have
promised,
`
And now, Jehovah
God, the word which
Thou
hast
spoken concerning Thy
servant ,
and concerning
his house ,
establish
unto
the
age,
and
do as Thou
hast
spoken;
so
that
Your
name will
be
magnified
forever
when
it
is said,
‘
The LORD
of Hosts is God over Israel .’
And the house of Your
servant David will
be
established before You.
And
Thy
Name is great
unto
the age,
saying,
Jehovah
of Hosts `
is '
God over Israel ,
and the house of Thy
servant David is
established before Thee,
For You
, O
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, have
revealed
this
to
Your
servant when
You
said
, ‘I
will
build
a house for you.’
Therefore Your
servant has
found the
courage
to offer
this prayer to
You.
For Thou
, Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, Thou
hast
uncovered
the
ear
of
Thy
servant, saying,
A house I
build
for thee,
therefore hath
Thy
servant found his
heart
to pray
unto
Thee
this prayer ;
And now, O
Lord GOD
, You
are
God !
Your
words are true
, and You
have
promised
this goodness to
Your
servant.
And now, Lord Jehovah
, Thou
`art'
God Himself,
and
Thy
words are truth
, and Thou
speakest
unto
Thy
servant
this goodness ,
Now therefore
, may
it
please
You
to
bless the house of Your
servant, that
it
may
continue
forever
before You.
For You
, O
Lord GOD
, have
spoken, and with
Your
blessing the house of Your
servant will
be
blessed forever
. ”
And
now, begin
and
bless the house of Thy
servant, to
be
unto
the
age
before Thee,
for Thou
, Lord Jehovah
, hast
spoken, and by
Thy
blessing is
the house of Thy
servant blessed --
to
the
age
. '
