2 Samuel 7
1 Afterwarde when the King sate in his house and the Lord had giuen him rest rounde about from all his enemies,
Factum est autem cum sedisset rex in domo sua, et Dominus dedisset ei requiem undique ab universis inimicis suis,
2 The King saide vnto Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, nowe I dwel in an house of cedar trees, and the Arke of God remayneth within the curtaines.
dixit ad Nathan prophetam: Videsne quod ego habitem in domo cedrina, et arca Dei posita sit in medio pellium?
3 Then Nathan sayde vnto the King, Go, and doe all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.
Dixitque Nathan ad regem: Omne quod est in corde tuo, vade fac: quia Dominus tecum est.
4 And the same night the worde of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying,
Factum est autem in illa nocte: et ecce sermo Domini ad Nathan, dicens:
5 Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord, Shalt thou buylde me an house for my dwelling?
Vade, et loquere ad servum meum David: Hæc dicit Dominus: Numquid tu ædificabis mihi domum ad habitandum?
6 For I haue dwelt in no house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt vnto this day, but haue walked in a tent and tabernacle.
Neque enim habitavi in domo ex die illa, qua eduxi filios Israel de Terra Ægypti, usque in diem hanc: sed ambulabam in tabernaculo, et in tentorio,
7 In al the places wherein I haue walked with all the children of Israel, spake I one worde with any of the tribes of Israel when I commanded the iudges to feede my people Israel? or sayde I, Why build ye not me an house of cedar trees?
per cuncta loca, quæ transivi cum omnibus filiis Israel, numquid loquens locutus sum ad unam de tribubus Israel, cui præcepi ut pasceret populum meum Israel, dicens: Quare non ædificastis mihi domum cedrinam?
8 Nowe therefore so say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord of hostes, I tooke thee from the sheepecote following the sheepe, that thou mightest bee ruler ouer my people, ouer Israel.
Et nunc hæc dices servo meo David: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ego tuli te de pascuis sequentem greges, ut esses dux super populum meum Israel:
9 And I was with thee wheresoeuer thou hast walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and haue made thee a great name, like vnto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
et fui tecum in omnibus ubicumque ambulasti, et interfeci universos inimicos tuos a facie tua: fecique tibi nomen grande, iuxta nomen magnorum, qui sunt in terra.
10 (Also I will appoynt a place for my people Israel, and will plant it, that they may dwell in a place of their owne, and moue no more, neither shall wicked people trouble them any more as before time,
Et ponam locum populo meo Israel, et plantabo eum, et habitabit sub eo, et non turbabitur amplius: nec addent filii iniquitatis ut affligant eum sicut prius,
11 And since the time that I set Iudges ouer my people of Israel) and I will giue thee rest from al thine enemies: also the Lord telleth thee, that he will make thee an house.
ex die qua constitui iudices super populum meum Israel: et requiem dabo tibi ab omnibus inimicis tuis. Prædicitque tibi Dominus, quod domum faciat tibi Dominus.
12 And when thy daies bee fulfilled, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and I wil set vp thy seede after thee, which shall proceede out of thy body, and will stablish his kingdome.
Cumque completi fuerint dies tui, et dormieris cum patribus tuis, suscitabo semen tuum post te, quod egredietur de utero tuo, et firmabo regnum eius.
13 He shall buyld an house for my Name, and I will stablish ye throne of his kingdome for euer.
Ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo, et stabiliam thronum regni eius usque in sempiternum.
14 I will be his father, and hee shall bee my sonne: and if he sinne, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of men.
Ego ero ei in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium: qui si inique aliquid gesserit, arguam eum in virga virorum, et in plagis filiorum hominum.
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I tooke it from Saul whome I haue put away before thee.
Misericordiam autem meam non auferam ab eo, sicut abstuli a Saul, quem amovi a facie mea.
16 And thine house shall be stablished and thy kingdome for euer before thee, euen thy throne shalbe stablished for euer.
Et fidelis erit domus tua, et regnum tuum usque in æternum ante faciem tuam, et thronus tuus erit firmus iugiter.
17 According to all these wordes, and according to all this vision, Nathan spake thus vnto Dauid.
Secundum omnia verba hæc, et iuxta universam visionem istam, sic locutus est Nathan ad David.
18 Then King Dauid went in, and sate before the Lord, and sayde, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
Ingressus est autem rex David, et sedit coram Domino, et dixit: Quis ego sum Domine Deus, et quæ domus mea, quia adduxisti me hucusque?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God, therefore thou hast spoken also of thy seruants house for a great while: but doth this appertaine to man, O Lord God?
Sed et hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo Domine Deus, nisi loquereris etiam de domo servi tui in longinquum: ista est enim lex Adam, Domine Deus.
20 And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy seruant.
Quid ergo addere poterit adhuc David, ut loquatur ad te? Tu enim scis servum tuum Domine Deus.
21 For thy words sake, and according to thine owne heart hast thou done all these great things, to make them knowen vnto thy seruant.
Propter verbum tuum, et secundum cor tuum fecisti omnia magnalia hæc, ita ut notum faceres servo tuo.
22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that wee haue heard with our eares.
Idcirco magnificatus es Domine Deus, quia non est similis tui, neque est Deus extra te, in omnibus quæ audivimus auribus nostris.
23 And what one people in the earth is like thy people, like Israel? whose God went and redeemed them to himselfe, that they might be his people, and that hee might make him a name, and do for you great things, and terrible for thy land, O Lord, euen for thy people, whome thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, from the nations, and their gods?
Quæ est autem, ut populus tuus Israel, gens in terra, propter quam ivit Deus, ut redimeret eam sibi in populum, et poneret sibi nomen, faceretque eis magnalia, et horribilia super terram, a facie populi tui, quem redemisti tibi ex Ægypto, gentem, et deum eius.
24 For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God.
Firmasti enim tibi populum tuum Israel in populum sempiternum: et tu Domine Deus factus es eis in Deum.
25 Nowe therefore, O Lord God, confirme for euer the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and his house, and doe as thou hast sayde.
Nunc ergo Domine Deus verbum, quod locutus es super servum tuum, et super domum eius, suscita in sempiternum: et fac sicut locutus es,
26 And let thy Name bee magnified for euer by them that shall say, The Lord of hostes is the God ouer Israel: and let the house of thy seruant Dauid be stablished before thee.
ut magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum, atque dicatur: Dominus exercituum, Deus super Israel. Et domus servi tui David erit stabilita coram Domino,
27 For thou, O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, hast reueiled vnto thy seruant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy seruant bene bold to pray this prayer vnto thee.
quia tu Domine exercituum Deus Israel revelasti aurem servi tui, dicens: Domum ædificabo tibi: propterea invenit servus tuus cor suum ut oraret te oratione hac.
28 Therefore now, O Lord God, (for thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast tolde this goodnes vnto thy seruant)
Nunc ergo Domine Deus, tu es Deus, et verba tua erunt vera: locutus es enim ad servum tuum bona hæc.
29 Therefore nowe let it please thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may continue for euer before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and let the house of thy seruant be blessed for euer, with thy blessing.
Incipe ergo, et benedic domui servi tui, ut sit in sempiternum coram te: quia tu Domine Deus locutus es, et benedictione tua benedicetur domus servi tui in sempiternum.
