Fyrri Kroníkubók 17
Icelandic Bible
17 Svo bar til, þá er Davíð sat í höll sinni, að Davíð sagði við Natan spámann: "Sjá, ég bý í höll af sedrusviði, en sáttmálsörk Drottins undir tjalddúkum."
2 Natan svaraði Davíð: "Gjör þú allt, sem þér er í hug, því að Guð er með þér."
3 En hina sömu nótt kom orð Guðs til Natans:
4 "Far þú og seg Davíð þjóni mínum: Svo segir Drottinn: Eigi skalt þú reisa mér hús til að búa í.
5 Ég hefi ekki búið í húsi síðan er ég leiddi Ísraelsmenn út, allt fram á þennan dag, heldur ferðaðist ég í tjaldi og búð.
6 Alla þá stund, er ég hefi um farið meðal allra Ísraelsmanna, hefi ég þá sagt nokkurt orð í þá átt við nokkurn af dómurum Ísraels, þá er ég setti til að vera hirða lýðs míns: ,Hví reisið þér mér ekki hús af sedrusviði?` _
7 Og nú skalt þú svo segja þjóni mínum Davíð: Svo segir Drottinn allsherjar: Ég tók þig úr haglendinu frá hjarðmennskunni og setti þig höfðingja yfir lýð minn Ísrael.
8 Ég hefi verið með þér í öllu, sem þú hefir tekið þér fyrir hendur, og upprætt alla óvini þína fyrir þér. Ég mun gjöra nafn þitt sem nafn hinna mestu manna, sem á jörðinni eru,
9 og fá lýð mínum Ísrael stað og gróðursetja hann þar, svo að hann geti búið á sínum stað og geti verið öruggur framvegis. Níðingar skulu eigi eyða honum framar eins og áður,
10 frá því er ég setti dómara yfir lýð minn Ísrael, og ég mun lægja alla fjandmenn þína. Og ég boða þér, að Drottinn mun reisa þér hús.
11 Þegar ævi þín er öll og þú gengur til feðra þinna, mun ég hefja afspring þinn eftir þig, einn af sonum þínum, og staðfesta konungdóm hans.
12 Hann skal reisa mér hús og ég mun staðfesta hásæti hans að eilífu.
13 Ég vil vera honum faðir og hann skal vera mér sonur, og miskunn mína mun ég ekki frá honum taka, eins og ég tók hana frá fyrirrennara þínum,
14 heldur mun ég setja hann yfir hús mitt og ríki að eilífu, og hásæti hans skal vera óbifanlegt um aldur."
15 Natan flutti Davíð öll þessi orð og sagði honum sýn þessa alla.
16 Þá gekk Davíð konungur inn og settist niður frammi fyrir Drottni og mælti: "Hver er ég, Drottinn Guð, og hvað er hús mitt, að þú skulir hafa leitt mig til þessa?
17 Og það nægði þér ekki, Guð, heldur hefir þú fyrirheit gefið um hús þjóns þíns langt fram í aldir, og það meira að segja á mannlegan hátt, Drottinn Guð.
18 En hvað má Davíð enn við þig mæla? Þú þekkir sjálfur þjón þinn.
19 Drottinn, sakir þjóns þíns og að þínum vilja hefir þú gjört þetta, að boða þjóni þínum alla þessa miklu hluti.
20 Drottinn, enginn er sem þú, og enginn er Guð nema þú, samkvæmt öllu því, er vér höfum heyrt með eyrum vorum.
21 Og hvaða þjóð önnur á jörðinni jafnast við þjóð þína Ísrael, að Guð hafi farið og keypt sér hana að eignarlýð, aflað sér frægðar og gjört fyrir hana mikla hluti og hræðilega: stökkt burt undan lýð sínum annarri þjóð og guði hennar?
22 Þú hefir gjört lýð þinn Ísrael að þínum lýð um aldur og ævi, og þú, Drottinn, gjörðist Guð þeirra.
23 Og lát nú, Drottinn, fyrirheit það, er þú hefir gefið um þjón þinn og um hús hans, standa stöðugt um aldur og ævi, og gjör þú svo sem þú hefir heitið.
24 Þá mun nafn þitt reynast traust og verða mikið að eilífu og hljóða svo: Drottinn allsherjar, Guð Ísraels, Ísraels Guð _ og hús þjóns þíns Davíðs mun stöðugt standa fyrir þér.
25 Því að þú, Guð minn, hefir birt þjóni þínum, að þú munir reisa honum hús. Fyrir því hafði þjónn þinn djörfung til að bera þessa bæn fram fyrir þig.
26 Og nú, Drottinn, þú ert Guð, og þú hefir gefið þjóni þínum þetta dýrlega fyrirheit,
27 virst þú nú að blessa hús þjóns þíns, svo að það sé til að eilífu fyrir þínu augliti. Því að það, sem þú, Drottinn, blessar, er blessað að eilífu."

God’s Promise to David(A)
17 After David was settled in 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.(B)”
2 Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you have in mind,(C) do it, for God is with you.”
3 But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
4 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: You(D) are not the one to build me a house to dwell in. 5 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt to this day. I have moved from one tent site to another, from one dwelling place to another. 6 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their leaders[a] whom I commanded to shepherd my people, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?(E)”’
7 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler(F) over my people Israel. 8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name like the names of the greatest men on earth. 9 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning 10 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders(G) over my people Israel. I will also subdue all your enemies.
“‘I declare to you that the Lord will build a house for you: 11 When your days are over and you go to be with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He is the one who will build(H) a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever.(I) 13 I will be his father,(J) and he will be my son.(K) I will never take my love away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor. 14 I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne(L) will be established forever.(M)’”
15 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.
David’s Prayer(N)
16 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:
“Who am I, Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 17 And as if this were not enough in your sight, my God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You, Lord God, have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men.
18 “What more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your servant, 19 Lord. For the sake(O) of your servant and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made known all these great promises.(P)
20 “There is no one like you, Lord, and there is no God but you,(Q) as we have heard with our own ears. 21 And who is like your people Israel—the one nation on earth whose God went out to redeem(R) a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? 22 You made your people Israel your very own forever,(S) and you, Lord, have become their God.
23 “And now, Lord, let the promise(T) you have made concerning your servant and his house be established forever. Do as you promised, 24 so that it will be established and that your name will be great forever. Then people will say, ‘The Lord Almighty, the God over Israel, is Israel’s God!’ And the house of your servant David will be established before you.
25 “You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him. So your servant has found courage to pray to you. 26 You, Lord, are God! You have promised these good things to your servant. 27 Now you have been pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight;(U) for you, Lord, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”

17 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains.
2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
9 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 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house.
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
13 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 thee:
14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
16 And David the king came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God.
18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
19 O Lord, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20 O Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God.
23 Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
24 Let it even be established, that thy 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 thy servant be established before thee.
25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
26 And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever.
