Nova Versão Transformadora

²Davi se pôs em pé e disse: “Meus irmãos e meu povo! Era meu desejo construir um templo onde a arca da aliança do Senhor, o lugar de descanso dos pés de nosso Deus, repousasse para sempre. Fiz os preparativos necessários para construí-lo, ³mas Deus me disse: ‘Você não construirá um templo em honra ao meu nome, pois é homem de guerra e derramou muito sangue’.
