7 Svo bar til, þá er konungur sat í höll sinni _ en Drottinn hafði þá veitt honum frið fyrir öllum óvinum hans allt í kring _,
2 að konungur sagði við Natan spámann: "Sjá, ég bý í höll af sedrusviði, en örk Guðs býr undir tjalddúk."
3 Natan svaraði konungi: "Far þú og gjör allt, sem þér er í hug, því að Drottinn er með þér."
4 En hina sömu nótt kom orð Drottins til Natans, svohljóðandi:
5 "Far og seg þjóni mínum Davíð: Svo segir Drottinn: Ætlar þú að reisa mér hús til að búa í?
6 Ég hefi ekki búið í húsi, síðan ég leiddi Ísraelsmenn út af Egyptalandi, allt fram á þennan dag, heldur ferðaðist ég í tjaldi og búð.
7 Alla þá stund, er ég hefi um farið meðal Ísraelsmanna, hefi ég þá sagt nokkurt orð í þá átt við nokkurn af dómurum Ísraels, er ég setti til að vera hirða lýðs míns, Ísraels: ,Hví reisið þér mér ekki hús af sedrusviði?`
8 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.
9 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,
10 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 ekki þjá hann framar eins og áður,
11 frá því er ég setti dómara yfir lýð minn Ísrael, og ég vil veita þér frið fyrir öllum óvinum þínum. Og Drottinn boðar þér, að hann muni reisa þér hús.
12 Þegar ævi þín er öll og þú leggst hjá feðrum þínum, mun ég hefja son þinn eftir þig, þann er frá þér kemur, og staðfesta konungdóm hans.
13 Hann skal reisa hús mínu nafni, og ég mun staðfesta konungsstól hans að eilífu.
14 Ég vil vera honum faðir, og hann skal vera mér sonur, svo að þótt honum yfirsjáist, þá mun ég hirta hann með manna vendi og manns barna höggum,
15 en miskunn mína mun ég ekki frá honum taka, eins og ég tók hana frá fyrirrennara þínum.
16 Hús þitt og ríki skal stöðugt standa fyrir mér að eilífu. Hásæti þitt skal vera óbifanlegt að eilífu."
17 Natan flutti Davíð öll þessi orð og sagði honum sýn þessa alla.
18 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?
19 Og þér nægði það eigi, Drottinn Guð, heldur hefir þú og fyrirheit gefið um hús þjóns þíns langt fram í aldir, og það meira að segja á mannlegan hátt, Drottinn Guð.
20 En hvað má Davíð enn við þig mæla? Þú þekkir sjálfur þjón þinn, Drottinn Guð!
21 Sakir þjóns þíns og að þínum vilja hefir þú gjört þetta, að boða þjóni þínum alla þessa miklu hluti.
22 Fyrir því ert þú mikill, Drottinn Guð, því að enginn er sem þú, og enginn er Guð nema þú samkvæmt öllu því, er vér höfum heyrt með eyrum vorum.
23 Og hvaða þjóð önnur á jörðinni jafnast við þína þjóð, Ísrael, að Guð hafi framgengið og endurleyst hana sér að eignarlýð og aflað sér frægðar? Þú gjörðir fyrir þá þessa miklu hluti og hræðilegu, að stökkva burt þjóðum og guðum þeirra undan þínu fólki, sem þú hafðir endurleyst af Egyptalandi.
24 Þú hefir gjört lýð þinn Ísrael að þínum lýð um aldur og ævi, og þú, Drottinn, gjörðist Guð þeirra.
25 Og lát þú, Drottinn Guð, fyrirheit það, er þú hefir gefið um þjón þinn og um hús hans, stöðugt standa um aldur og ævi, og gjör þú svo sem þú hefir heitið.
26 Þá mun nafn þitt mikið verða að eilífu og hljóða svo: Drottinn allsherjar, Guð yfir Ísrael _ og hús þjóns þíns Davíðs mun stöðugt standa fyrir þér.
27 Því að þú, Drottinn allsherjar, Guð Ísraels, hefir birt þjóni þínum þetta: ,Ég mun reisa þér hús.` Fyrir því hafði þjónn þinn djörfung til að bera þessa bæn fram fyrir þig.
28 Og nú, Drottinn Guð, þú ert Guð og þín orð eru sannleikur, og þú hefir gefið þjóni þínum þetta dýrlega fyrirheit.
29 Virst þú nú að blessa hús þjóns þíns, svo að það sé til að eilífu fyrir þínu augliti. Því að þú, Drottinn Guð, hefir fyrirheit gefið, og fyrir blessun þína mun hús þjóns þíns blessað verða að eilífu."

God’s Promise to David(A)
7 After the king was settled in his palace(B) and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies(C) around him,(D) 2 he said to Nathan(E) the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house(F) of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”(G)
3 Nathan replied to the king, “Whatever you have in mind,(H) go ahead and do it, for the Lord is with you.”
4 But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:
5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you(I) the one to build me a house to dwell in?(J) 6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day.(K) I have been moving from place to place with a tent(L) as my dwelling.(M) 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites,(N) did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd(O) my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house(P) of cedar?(Q)”’
8 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock,(R) and appointed you ruler(S) over my people Israel.(T) 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone,(U) and I have cut off all your enemies from before you.(V) Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth.(W) 10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant(X) them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed.(Y) Wicked(Z) people will not oppress them anymore,(AA) as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[a](AB) over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.(AC)
“‘The Lord declares(AD) to you that the Lord himself will establish(AE) a house(AF) for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest(AG) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,(AH) and I will establish his kingdom.(AI) 13 He is the one who will build a house(AJ) for my Name,(AK) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.(AL) 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.(AM) When he does wrong, I will punish him(AN) with a rod(AO) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him,(AP) as I took it away from Saul,(AQ) whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[b]; your throne(AR) will be established(AS) forever.(AT)’”
17 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.
David’s Prayer(AU)
18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:
“Who am I,(AV) Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant—and this decree,(AW) Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human![c]
20 “What more can David say(AX) to you? For you know(AY) your servant,(AZ) Sovereign Lord. 21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.
22 “How great(BA) you are,(BB) Sovereign Lord! There is no one like(BC) you, and there is no God(BD) but you, as we have heard with our own ears.(BE) 23 And who is like your people Israel(BF)—the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name(BG) for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders(BH) by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed(BI) from Egypt?[d] 24 You have established your people Israel as your very own(BJ) forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.(BK)
25 “And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise(BL) you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, 26 so that your name(BM) will be great forever. Then people will say, ‘The Lord Almighty is God over Israel!’ And the house of your servant David will be established(BN) in your sight.
27 “Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ So your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. 28 Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy,(BO) and you have promised these good things to your servant. 29 Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Sovereign Lord, have spoken, and with your blessing(BP) the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”

King James Version
2 Samuel 7
King James Version
7 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.
4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?
20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.
21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.
25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
