Translation of the Latin Vulgate |
| 17:1 cum autem habitaret David in domo sua dixit ad Nathan prophetam ecce ego habito in domo cedrina arca autem foederis Domini sub pellibus est | 17:1. Now when David was dwelling in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet: Behold I dwell in a house of cedar: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under skins. |
| 17:2 et ait Nathan ad David omnia quae in corde tuo sunt fac Deus enim tecum est | 17:2. And Nathan said to David: Do all that is in thy heart: for God is with thee. |
| 17:3 igitur nocte illa factus est sermo Dei ad Nathan dicens | 17:3. Now that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying: |
| 17:4 vade et loquere David servo meo haec dicit Dominus non aedificabis tu mihi domum ad habitandum | 17:4. Go, and speak to David my servant: Thus saith the Lord: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in. |
| 17:5 neque enim mansi in domo ex eo tempore quo eduxi Israhel usque ad hanc diem sed fui semper mutans loca tabernaculi et in tentorio | 17:5. For I have not remained in a house from the time that I brought up Israel, to this day: but I have been always changing places in a tabernacle, and in a tent, |
| 17:6 manens cum omni Israhel numquid locutus sum saltim uni iudicum Israhel quibus praeceperam ut pascerent populum meum et dixi quare non aedificastis mihi domum cedrinam | 17:6. Abiding with all Israel. Did I ever speak to any one, of all the judges of Israel whom I charged to feed my people, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar? |
| 17:7 nunc itaque sic loqueris ad servum meum David haec dicit Dominus exercituum ego tuli te cum in pascuis sequereris gregem ut esses dux populi mei Israhel | 17:7. Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I took thee from the pastures, from following the flock, that thou shouldst be ruler of my people Israel. |
| 17:8 et fui tecum quocumque perrexisti et interfeci omnes inimicos tuos coram te fecique tibi nomen quasi unius magnorum qui celebrantur in terra | 17:8. And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast gone: and have slain all thy enemies before thee, and have made thee a name like that of one of the great ones that are renowned in the earth. |
| 17:9 et dedi locum populo meo Israhel plantabitur et habitabit in eo et ultra non commovebitur nec filii iniquitatis adterent eos sicut a principio | 17:9. And I have given a place my people Israel: they shall be planted, and shall dwell therein, and shall be moved no more, neither shall the children of iniquity waste them, as at the beginning, |
| 17:10 ex diebus quibus dedi iudices populo meo Israhel et humiliavi universos inimicos tuos adnuntio ergo tibi quod aedificaturus sit domum tibi Dominus | 17:10. Since the days that I gave judges to my people Israel, and have humbled all thy enemies. And I declare to thee, that the Lord will build thee a house. |
| 17:11 cumque impleveris dies tuos ut vadas ad patres tuos suscitabo semen tuum post te quod erit de filiis tuis et stabiliam regnum eius | 17:11. And when thou shalt have ended thy days to go to thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons: and I will establish his kingdom. |
| 17:12 ipse aedificabit mihi domum et firmabo solium eius usque in aeternum | 17:12. He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever. |
| 17:13 ego ero ei in patrem et ipse erit mihi in filium et misericordiam meam non auferam ab eo sicut abstuli ab eo qui ante te fuit | 17:13. I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee. |
| 17:14 et statuam eum in domo mea et in regno meo usque in sempiternum et thronus eius erit firmissimus in perpetuum | 17:14. But I will settle him in my house, and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be most firm for ever. |
| 17:15 iuxta omnia verba haec et iuxta universam visionem istam sic locutus est Nathan ad David | 17:15. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David. |
| 17:16 cumque venisset rex David et sedisset coram Domino dixit quis ego sum Domine Deus et quae domus mea ut praestares mihi talia | 17:16. And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldst give such things to me? |
| 17:17 sed et hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo ideoque locutus es super domum servi tui etiam in futurum et fecisti me spectabilem super omnes homines Domine Deus meus | 17:17. But even this hath seemed little in thy sight, and therefore thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servant for the time to come: and hast made me remarkable above all men, O Lord God. |
| 17:18 quid ultra addere potest David cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum et cognoveris eum | 17:18. What can David add more, seeing thou hast thus glorified thy servant, and known him? |
| 17:19 Domine propter famulum tuum iuxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia | 17:19. O Lord, for thy servant's sake, according to thy own heart, thou hast shewn all this magnificence, and wouldst have all the great things to be known. |
| 17:20 Domine non est similis tui et non est alius deus absque te ex omnibus quos audivimus auribus nostris | 17:20. O Lord there is none like thee: and here is no other God beside thee, of all whom we have heard of with our ears. |
| 17:21 quis autem est alius ut populus tuus Israhel gens una in terra ad quam perrexit Deus ut liberaret et faceret populum sibi et magnitudine sua atque terroribus eiceret nationes a facie eius quem de Aegypto liberarat | 17:21. For what other nation is there upon earth like thy people Israel, whom God went to deliver, and make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terrors cast out nations before their face whom he had delivered out of Egypt? |
| 17:22 et posuisti populum tuum Israhel tibi in populum usque in aeternum et tu Domine factus es Deus eius | 17:22. And thou hast made thy people Israel to be thy own people for ever, and thou, O Lord, art become their God. |
| 17:23 nunc igitur Domine sermo quem locutus es famulo tuo et super domum eius confirmetur in perpetuum et fac sicut locutus es | 17:23. Now therefore, O Lord, let the word which thou hast spoken to thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. |
| 17:24 permaneatque et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum et dicatur Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel et domus David servi eius permanens coram eo | 17:24. And let thy name remain and be magnified for ever: and let it be said: The Lord of hosts is God of Israel, and the house of David his servant remaineth before him. |
| 17:25 tu enim Domine Deus meus revelasti auriculam servi tui ut aedificares ei domum et idcirco invenit servus tuus fiduciam ut oret coram te | 17:25. For thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, that thou wilt build him a house: and therefore thy servant hath found confidence to pray before thee. |
| 17:26 nunc ergo Domine tu es Deus et locutus es ad servum tuum tanta beneficia | 17:26. And now O Lord, thou art God: and thou hast promised to thy servant such great benefits. |
| 17:27 et coepisti benedicere domui servi tui ut sit semper coram te te enim Domine benedicente benedicta erit in perpetuum | 17:27. And thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be always before thee: for seeing thou blessest it, O Lord, it shall be blessed for ever. |
