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.

[1] και εγενετο ως κατωκησεν δαυιδ εν οικω αυτου και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ναθαν τον προφητην ιδου εγω κατοικω εν οικω κεδρινω και η κιβωτος διαθηκης κυριου υποκατω δερρεων
[2] και ειπεν ναθαν προς δαυιδ παν το εν τη ψυχη σου ποιει οτι ο θεος μετα σου
[3] και εγενετο εν τη νυκτι εκεινη και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς ναθαν λεγων
[4] πορευου και ειπον προς δαυιδ τον παιδα μου ουτως ειπεν κυριος ου συ οικοδομησεις μοι οικον του κατοικησαι με εν αυτω
[5] οτι ου κατωκησα εν οικω απο της ημερας ης ανηγαγον τον ισραηλ εως της ημερας ταυτης και ημην εν σκηνη και εν καταλυματι
[6] εν πασιν οις διηλθον εν παντι ισραηλ ει λαλων ελαλησα προς μιαν φυλην ισραηλ του ποιμαινειν τον λαον μου λεγων οτι ουκ ωκοδομηκατε μοι οικον κεδρινον
[7] και νυν ουτως ερεις τω δουλω μου δαυιδ ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ελαβον σε εκ της μανδρας εξοπισθεν των ποιμνιων του ειναι εις ηγουμενον επι τον λαον μου ισραηλ
[8] και ημην μετα σου εν πασιν οις επορευθης και εξωλεθρευσα παντας τους εχθρους σου απο προσωπου σου και εποιησα σοι ονομα κατα το ονομα των μεγαλων των επι της γης
[9] και θησομαι τοπον τω λαω μου ισραηλ και καταφυτευσω αυτον και κατασκηνωσει καθ εαυτον και ου μεριμνησει ετι και ου προσθησει αδικια του ταπεινωσαι αυτον καθως απ αρχης
[10] και αφ ημερων ων εταξα κριτας επι τον λαον μου ισραηλ και εταπεινωσα απαντας τους εχθρους σου και αυξησω σε και οικον οικοδομησει σοι κυριος
[11] και εσται οταν πληρωθωσιν αι ημεραι σου και κοιμηθηση μετα των πατερων σου και αναστησω το σπερμα σου μετα σε ος εσται εκ της κοιλιας σου και ετοιμασω την βασιλειαν αυτου
[12] αυτος οικοδομησει μοι οικον και ανορθωσω τον θρονον αυτου εως αιωνος
[13] εγω εσομαι αυτω εις πατερα και αυτος εσται μοι εις υιον και το ελεος μου ουκ αποστησω απ αυτου ως απεστησα απο των οντων εμπροσθεν σου
[14] και πιστωσω αυτον εν οικω μου και εν βασιλεια αυτου εως αιωνος και ο θρονος αυτου εσται ανωρθωμενος εως αιωνος
[15] κατα παντας τους λογους τουτους και κατα πασαν την ορασιν ταυτην ουτως ελαλησεν ναθαν προς δαυιδ
[16] και ηλθεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ και εκαθισεν απεναντι κυριου και ειπεν τις ειμι εγω κυριε ο θεος και τις ο οικος μου οτι ηγαπησας με εως αιωνος
[17] και εσμικρυνθη ταυτα ενωπιον σου ο θεος και ελαλησας επι τον οικον του παιδος σου εκ μακρων και επειδες με ως ορασις ανθρωπου και υψωσας με κυριε ο θεος
[18] τι προσθησει ετι δαυιδ προς σε του δοξασαι και συ τον δουλον σου οιδας
[19] και κατα την καρδιαν σου εποιησας την πασαν μεγαλωσυνην
[20] κυριε ουκ εστιν ομοιος σοι και ουκ εστιν πλην σου κατα παντα οσα ηκουσαμεν εν ωσιν ημων
[21] και ουκ εστιν ως ο λαος σου ισραηλ εθνος ετι επι της γης ως ωδηγησεν αυτον ο θεος του λυτρωσασθαι εαυτω λαον του θεσθαι εαυτω ονομα μεγα και επιφανες του εκβαλειν απο προσωπου λαου σου ους ελυτρωσω εξ αιγυπτου εθνη
[22] και εδωκας τον λαον σου ισραηλ σεαυτω λαον εως αιωνος και συ κυριε αυτοις εις θεον
[23] και νυν κυριε ο λογος σου ον ελαλησας προς τον παιδα σου και επι τον οικον αυτου πιστωθητω εως αιωνος
[24] λεγοντων κυριε κυριε παντοκρατωρ θεος ισραηλ και ο οικος δαυιδ παιδος σου ανωρθωμενος εναντιον σου
[25] οτι συ κυριε ηνοιξας το ους του παιδος σου του οικοδομησαι αυτω οικον δια τουτο ευρεν ο παις σου του προσευξασθαι κατα προσωπον σου
[26] και νυν κυριε συ ει αυτος ο θεος και ελαλησας επι τον δουλον σου τα αγαθα ταυτα
[27] και νυν ηρξω του ευλογησαι τον οικον του παιδος σου του ειναι εις τον αιωνα εναντιον σου οτι συ κυριε ευλογησας και ευλογησον εις τον αιωνα
