¶ Wa David te byen chita nan palè li. Seyè a te pwoteje l', li te fè tout lènmi ki te alantou peyi a pa chache l' kont ankò.

Wa a pale ak pwofèt Natan, li di l' konsa: -Gade! Mwen rete nan yon kay bati ak bwa sèd, men Bwat Kontra Seyè a se anba yon kay twal li ye.

Natan reponn li: -Tou sa ou gen lide fè, ou mèt fè l', paske Seyè a kanpe la avè ou.

¶ Men, menm jou lannwit sa a, Seyè a pale ak Natan, li di l' konsa:

-Ale di David, sèvitè m' lan, men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye di l': Se pa ou menm ki pral bati yon tanp pou m' rete.

Depi jou mwen te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip rive jòdi a, mwen pa janm rete nan yon kay. Tout kote m' pase se anba yon tant twal mwen toujou ye.

Nan tout deplase mwen ansanm ak moun Izrayèl yo, mwen pa janm mande yonn nan chèf mwen te chwazi pou gouvènen pèp mwen an poukisa yo pa bati yon kay an bwa sèd pou mwen.

Koulye a, men sa w'a di David, sèvitè m' lan: Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye di ou: Se mwen menm ki te pran ou dèyè mouton ou t'ap gade nan savann yo, mwen mete ou chèf pèp mwen an.

Nan tou sa ou t'ap fè, mwen te kanpe la avè ou. Mwen kraze tout lènmi ou yo devan ou. Mwen pral fè yo nonmen non ou tankou y'ap nonmen non pi gwo chèf ki sou latè.

10 Lèfini, mwen pare yon kote pou pèp Izrayèl mwen an. Mwen pral tabli yo la pou yo ka viv san yo pa bezwen pè anyen ankò. Mechan yo p'ap vin maltrete yo ankò jan yo te konn fè l' anvan an,

11 lè mwen te mete jij yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl mwen an. M'ap delivre ou anba men tout lènmi ou yo. Mwen te fè ou konnen m'ap ba ou pitit ak pitit pitit.

12 Lè lè a va rive pou ou mouri, lè y'a antere ou, m'ap pran yonn nan pitit ou yo, m'ap mete l' wa nan plas ou. M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm.

13 Se li menm ki va bati yon tanp pou mwen. M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.

14 M'ap yon papa pou li. Li menm l'ap yon pitit pou mwen. Si li fè sa ki mal, m'ap korije l' tankou yon papa korije pitit gason li.

15 Men, m'ap toujou soutni l', mwen p'ap lage l' jan mwen te lage Sayil lè mwen te kite l' tonbe pou m' te mete ou nan plas li.

16 Ap toujou gen moun nan fanmi ou chita sou fotèy la ap gouvènen apre ou, paske m'ap fè gouvènman fanmi ou lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.

17 Natan rakonte David tou sa Bondye te fè l' konnen nan vizyon an.

18 ¶ Apre sa, wa David ale nan tanp lan, li chita devan Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, kisa mwen ye, kisa fanmi mwen ye pou ou te fè tou sa ou deja fè pou nou?

19 Men ou wè sa pa kont toujou, Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, kifè koulye a w'ap fè konnen sa ki pral rive fanmi mwen denmen nan lanne k'ap vini yo. Epi ou fè m' konn sa, mwen menm ki yon senp moun, Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la!

20 Kisa mwen menm David, mwen ka di ou, Seyè, apre sa? Ou konnen ki moun mwen ye, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la.

21 Se paske ou te fè pwomès la, se paske ou te vle l' konsa, kifè ou te fè tout bèl bagay sa yo pou ou te fè m' konnen yo.

22 Seyè, Bondye mwen, ala gwo pouvwa ou la gwo! Pa gen tankou ou! Pa gen lòt Bondye pase ou menm! Yo te toujou di nou sa.

23 Pa gen lòt nasyon sou latè tankou pèp Izrayèl la! Se ou menm ki delivre yo pou yo te ka tounen yon pèp ki rele ou pa ou. Se pou yo ase ou fè sa. Toupatou sou latè, y'ap nonmen non ou yo pou gwo mirak ak bèl bagay ou fè pou yo. Ou mete lòt nasyon deyò nan peyi ou la ansanm ak bondye yo pou fè plas pou pèp ou, pèp ou te delivre anba pouvwa pèp peyi Lejip la, pou yo te ka tounen pèp pa ou.

24 Ou fè pèp Izrayèl la tounen pèp pa ou pou tout tan, ou menm ou tounen Bondye yo.

25 Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye, se pou ou kenbe pwomès ou te fè sèvitè ou la ansanm ak fanmi li an. Se pou ou fè sa ou di w'ap fè a.

26 Toupatou sou latè y'a toujou rekonnèt jan ou gen pouvwa. y'a di se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Konsa, gouvènman ki nan men fanmi David, sèvitè ou la, va kanpe fèm pou tout tan anba pwoteksyon ou.

27 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, se ou menm ki te fè m' konnen tou sa. Ou te di m', mwen menm sèvitè ou la, w'ap ban mwen yon fanmi, lèfini w'ap fè baton gouvènman an toujou rete nan men fanmi mwen. Se poutèt sa mwen gen kouraj fè lapriyè sa a nan pye ou.

28 Koulye a, Seyè sèl Mèt, se ou ki Bondye tout bon an. Ou toujou kenbe pwomès ou yo. Gade bèl pawòl kè kontan ou di sèvitè ou la!

29 Tanpri, beni tout fanmi mwen apre mwen pou yo ka toujou anba pwoteksyon ou. Wi, Seyè sèl Mèt, ou te pwomèt mwen sa. Se pou ou toujou voye benediksyon ou sou fanmi mwen.

God’s Promise to David(A)

After the king was settled in his palace(B) and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies(C) around him,(D) 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)

Nathan replied to the king, “Whatever you have in mind,(H) go ahead and do it, for the Lord is with you.”

But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:

“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) 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) 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)”’

“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) 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.”

17 ¶ Wa David te byen chita nan palè li. Yon jou li fè rele pwofèt Natan, li di l' konsa: -Gade! Mwen rete nan yon kay bati ak bwa sèd, men Bwat Kontra Seyè a se anba yon kay twal li ye.

Natan reponn li: -Tou sa ou gen lide fè, ou mèt fè l' paske Seyè a kanpe la avèk ou.

Men, menm jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Natan. Li di l' konsa:

-Ale di David, sèvitè m' lan, men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye di l': Se pa ou menm ki pral bati yon tanp pou m' rete.

Depi jou mwen te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip rive jòdi a, mwen pa janm rete nan yon kay. Tout kote m' pase, se anba yon tant twal mwen toujou ye.

Kote ou pase, mwen te kanpe la avè ou. Mwen kraze tout lènmi ou yo devan ou. Mwen pral fè yo nonmen non ou tankou y'ap nonmen non pi gwo chèf ki sou latè.

Lèfini, mwen pare yon kote pou pèp Izrayèl mwen an. Mwen pral tabli yo la pou yo ka viv san yo pa bezwen pè anyen ankò. Mechan p'ap vin maltrete yo ankò jan yo te konn fè l' anvan an,

10 lè mwen te mete jij chèf yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl mwen an. M'ap delivre ou anba men tout lènmi ou yo. Mwen te fè ou konnen m'ap ba ou pitit ak pitit pitit.

11 Lè lè a va rive pou ou mouri, lè y'a antere ou, m'ap pran yonn nan pitit ou yo, m'ap mete l' wa nan plas ou. M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm.

12 Se li menm ki va bati yon tanp pou mwen, m'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.

13 M'ap yon papa pou li. Li menm l'ap yon pitit pou mwen. Mwen p'ap lage l' jan mwen te lage moun ki te wa anvan ou lan.

14 M'ap mete l' chèf lakay mwen ak nan gouvènman mwen an pou tout tan. M'ap fè gouvènman fanmi li an kanpe fèm pou tout tan.

15 Natan rakonte David tou sa Bondye te fè l' konnen nan vizyon an.

16 ¶ Aprè sa, wa David ale nan Tanp lan, li chita devan Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la, kisa mwen ye? Kisa fanmi mwen ye pou ou te fè tout sa ou deja fè pou nou?

17 Men, ou wè sa pa kont toujou, Bondye sèl Mèt la! Kifè koulye a w'ap fè konnen sa ki pral rive fanmi mwen denmen nan lanne k'ap vini yo. Ou trete m' tankou yon grannèg, Seyè sèl Mèt la.

18 Kisa mwen menm David, mwen ka di ou, Seyè, apre sa pou bèl bagay ou fè pou mwen yo? Ou konnen ki moun mwen ye, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la.

19 Se paske ou te fè pwomès la, paske ou te vle l' konsa, Seyè, kifè ou te fè tout bèl bagay sa yo pou ou te fè m' konnen yo.

20 Seyè, Bondye mwen, pa gen tankou ou. Pa gen lòt Bondye pase ou menm! Yo te toujou di nou sa.

21 Pa gen lòt nasyon sou latè tankou pèp Izrayèl la. Se ou menm ki delivre yo pou yo te ka tounen yon pèp ki rele ou pa ou. Se pou yo ase ou fè sa! Toupatou sou latè y'ap nonmen non ou pou gwo mirak ak bèl bagay ou fè pou yo. Ou mete lòt nasyon deyò pou fè plas pou pèp ou a, pèp ou te delivre anba pouvwa pèp peyi Lejip la.

22 Ou fè pèp Izrayèl la tounen pèp pa ou pou tout tan, ou menm ou tounen Bondye yo.

23 Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye, se pou ou kenbe pwomès ou te fè sèvitè ou la ansanm ak fanmi li an. Se pou ou fè sa ou di w'ap fè a.

24 Kenbe pwomès ou pou tout moun rekonèt jan ou gen pouvwa, pou yo di: Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la vre. Se yon Bondye pou pèp Izrayèl la. Konsa, gouvènman ki nan men fanmi David, sèvitè ou la, va kanpe fèm pou tout tan devan ou.

25 Se ou menm, Bondye mwen, ki te fè m' konnen tou sa. Ou te di m', mwen menm sèvitè ou la, w'ap ban mwen yon fanmi, lèfini w'ap fè baton gouvènman an toujou rete nan men fanmi mwen. Se poutèt sa mwen gen kouraj fè lapriyè sa a nan pye ou.

26 Koulye a, Seyè, se ou ki Bondye, se ou ki pwomèt sèvitè ou la bèl bagay sa yo.

27 Tanpri, beni tout fanmi mwen apre mwen, pou yo ka toujou anba pwoteksyon ou. Wi, Seyè, se ou ki bay benediksyon. Se pou ou toujou voye benediksyon ou sou fanmi mwen.

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)

Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you have in mind,(C) do it, for God is with you.”

But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:

“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. 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. 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)”’

“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. 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. 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.”
