历代志上 17
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
大卫有意为耶和华建殿(A)
17 大卫住在自己宫中的时候，他对拿单先知说：“看哪，我住在香柏木做的王宫，耶和华的约柜却在帐幕里。” 2 拿单对大卫说：“你可以照你的心意去作，因为 神与你同在。” 3 当夜， 神的话临到拿单，说： 4 “你去对我的仆人大卫说：‘耶和华这样说：你不可建殿给我居住。 5 因为自从我领以色列人上来那天起，直到今日，我都未曾住过殿宇，只是从这帐幕到那帐幕，从这帐棚到那帐棚。 6 我和以色列众人，无论走到甚么地方，从没有向以色列的哪一个士师，就是我所吩咐牧养我的子民的，说：你们为甚么不给我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？’ 7 现在你要对我的仆人大卫说：‘万军之耶和华这样说：我把你从羊圈中选召出来，使你不再跟随羊群，使你作领袖管治我的子民以色列。 8 无论你到哪里去，我总与你同在；在你面前消灭你所有的仇敌；我必使你获得名声，好象世上伟人的名声一样。 9 我要为我的子民以色列人选定一个地方，栽培他们，使他们住在自己的地方，不再受搅扰，也不再像从前被恶徒苦害他们， 10 好象我吩咐士师统治我的子民以色列人的日子一样。我必制伏你所有的仇敌，并且我告诉你，耶和华必为你建立家室。 11 你的寿数满足，归你列祖那里的时候，我必兴起你的后裔接替你，他是你的众子中的一位；我必坚立他的国。 12 他要为我建造殿宇，我必坚立他的王位，直到永远。 13 我要作他的父亲，他要作我的儿子；我的慈爱必不离开他，像离开在你以前的那位一样； 14 我却要把他坚立在我的家里和我的国里，直到永远；他的王位必永远坚立。’” 15 拿单就按着这一切话和他所见的一切，告诉了大卫。
大卫的祷告与称颂(B)
16 于是大卫王进去，坐在耶和华面前，说：“耶和华 神啊，我是甚么人？我的家算甚么，你竟带领我到这个地步？ 17 神啊，这在你眼中看为小事，你对你仆人的家的未来发出应许！耶和华 神啊，你看我好象一个高贵的人。 18 你把荣耀加在你仆人身上，我还有甚么话可以对你说呢？你认识你的仆人。 19 耶和华啊，为了你仆人的缘故，也是按着你的心意，你行了这一切大事，为要使人知道这一切大事。 20 耶和华啊，照着我们耳中所听见的，没有谁能与你相比；除你以外，再没有别的神。 21 世上有哪一个国能比得上你的子民以色列呢？ 神亲自把他们救赎出来，作自己的子民，又在你从埃及所救赎出来的子民面前驱逐列国，以大而可畏的事建立自己的名。 22 你使你的子民以色列永远作你的子民；耶和华啊，你也作了他们的 神。 23 耶和华啊，现在求你永远坚立你应许你仆人和他的家的话，照着你所说的实行吧。 24 愿你的名永远坚立、尊大，以致人人都说：‘万军之耶和华以色列的 神，实在是以色列人的 神。’这样，你仆人大卫的家就在你面前得到坚立了。 25 我的 神啊，因为你启示了你的仆人，要你的仆人为你建造殿宇，所以你仆人才敢在你面前这样祷告。 26 耶和华啊，唯有你是 神，你曾应许把这福气赐给你的仆人； 27 现在请你赐福你仆人的家，使它在你面前永远存留。耶和华啊，因为你已经赐福了你仆人的家，它必永远蒙福。”
1 Chronicles 17
New King James Version
God’s Covenant with David(A)
17 Now (B)it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent curtains.”
2 Then Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 But it happened that night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 4 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You shall (C)not build Me a house to dwell in. 5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 6 Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’ 7 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you (D)from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be [a]ruler over My people Israel. 8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have [b]made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 9 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will (E)plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 10 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a [c]house. 11 And it shall be, when your days are (F)fulfilled, when you must [d]go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your (G)seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12 (H)He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 (I)I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, (J)as I took it from him who was before you. 14 And (K)I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
15 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
16 (L)Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? 17 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O Lord God. 18 What more can David say to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant. 19 O Lord, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. 20 O Lord, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21 (M)And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people—to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt? 22 For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God.
23 “And now, O Lord, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said. 24 So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. 25 For You, O my God, [e]have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray before You. 26 And now, Lord, [f]You are God, and have promised this goodness to Your servant. 27 Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You have blessed it, O Lord, and it shall be blessed forever.”

The Lord's Covenant with David
17 (A)Now when David lived in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under a tent.” 2 And Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, 4 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: (B)It is not you who will build me a house to dwell in. 5 For I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up Israel to this day, (C)but I have gone from tent to tent and from dwelling to dwelling. 6 In all places where I have moved with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’ 7 Now, therefore, thus shall you say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel, 8 and I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 9 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. And violent men shall waste them no more, as formerly, 10 from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I (D)will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the Lord will build you a house. 11 When your days are fulfilled to walk with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 (E)I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. I will not take my steadfast love from him, (F)as I took it from him who was before you, 14 but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.’” 15 In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
David's Prayer
16 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? 17 And this was a small thing in your eyes, O God. You have also spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations,[a] O Lord God! 18 And what more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your servant. 19 (G)For your servant's sake, O Lord, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. 20 There is none like you, O Lord, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21 And who is like your people Israel, the one[b] nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making for yourself a name for great and awesome things, in driving out nations before your people whom you redeemed from Egypt? 22 And you made your people Israel to be your people forever, and you, O Lord, became their God. 23 And now, O Lord, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do as you have spoken, 24 and your name will be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel's God,’ and the house of your servant David will be established before you. 25 For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you. 26 And now, O Lord, you are God, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. 27 Now you have been pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you, for it is you, O Lord, who have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
