1 Chronicles 17 (WEBP)

[1] When David was living in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I live in a cedar house, but the ark of Yahweh’s covenant is in a tent.”
[2] Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”
[3] That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
[4] “Go and tell David my servant, ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in;
[5] for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.
[6] In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’ ” ’
[7] “Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel.
[8] I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
[9] I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not waste them any more, as at the first,
[10] and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.
[11] It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
[12] He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
[13] I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you;
[14] but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.” ’ ”
[15] According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
[16] Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
[17] This was a small thing in your eyes, O God, but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.
[18] What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.
[19] Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
[20] Yahweh, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
[21] What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people whom you redeemed out of Egypt?
[22] For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
[23] Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
[24] Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’
[25] For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.
[26] Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.
[27] Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”

1 Chronicles 17 (KJVS)

[1] 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 .

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Chronicles 17 (YLT)

[1] 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;’
[2] and Nathan saith unto David, ‘All that is in thy heart do, for God is with thee.’
[3] And it cometh to pass on that night that a word of God is unto Nathan, saying,
[4] ‘Go, and thou hast said unto David My servant, Thus said Jehovah, Thou dost not build for Me the house to dwell in:
[5] 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,
[6] 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?
[7] ‘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,
[8] 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.
[9] ‘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,
[10] 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,
[11] 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,
[12] he doth build for Me a house, and I have established his throne unto the age;
[13] 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,
[14] and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom unto the age, and his throne is established unto the age.’
[15] According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.
[16] 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?
[17] 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!
[18] ‘What doth David add more unto Thee for the honour of Thy servant; and Thou Thy servant hast known.
[19] 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.
[20] O Jehovah, there is none like Thee, and there is no god save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
[21] ‘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?
[22] 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.
[23] ‘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;
[24] 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;
[25] 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.
[26] ‘And now, Jehovah, Thou art God Himself, and Thou speakest concerning Thy servant this goodness;
[27] 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.’
