Ang sabi ng Panginoon kay David.

17 At nangyari, (A)nang si David ay tumahan sa kaniyang bahay, na sinabi ni David kay Nathan na propeta, Narito, ako'y tumatahan sa isang bahay na sedro, nguni't ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon ay sa ilalim ng mga kubong.

At sinabi ni Nathan kay David, Gawin mo ang buong nasa iyong kalooban; sapagka't ang Dios ay sumasaiyo.

At nangyari, nang gabing yaon, na ang salita ng Dios ay dumating kay Nathan na sinasabi,

Ikaw ay yumaon at saysayin mo kay David na aking lingkod, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Huwag mo akong ipagtatayo ng bahay na matatahanan:

Sapagka't hindi ako tumahan sa bahay mula nang araw na aking iahon ang Israel, hanggang sa araw na ito; kundi ako'y yumaon sa tolda at tolda, at sa tabernakulo, at tabernakulo.

Sa lahat ng mga dako na aking nilakaran na kasama ang buong Israel, ako ba'y nagsalita ng isang salita sa sinoman sa mga (B)hukom ng Israel, na siyang aking inutusang maging pastor sa aking bayan, na nagsasabi, Bakit hindi ninyo ako ipinagtayo ng bahay na sedro?

Ngayon nga'y ganito ang iyong sasabihin sa aking lingkod na kay David. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Kita'y kinuha sa pasabsaban, sa pagsunod sa mga tupa upang ikaw ay maging pangulo sa aking bayang Israel:

At ako'y sumaiyo saan ka man naparoon, at aking inihiwalay ang lahat na iyong mga kaaway sa harap mo; at gagawin kitang isang pangalan, na gaya ng pangalan ng mga dakila na nangasa lupa.

At aking ipagtataan ng isang dako ang aking bayang Israel, at itatatag sila, upang sila'y mangakatahan sa kanilang sariling dako, at huwag nang mabago pa; ni sisirain pa man sila ng mga anak ng kasamaan, na gaya ng una,

10 At gaya ng araw na maghalal ako ng mga hukom upang malagay sa aking bayang Israel; at aking pasusukuin ang lahat mong mga kaaway. Bukod dito'y isinaysay ko sa iyo na ipagtatayo ka ng Panginoon ng isang bahay.

11 At mangyayari, pagka ang iyong mga araw ay nalubos na ikaw ay marapat yumaon na makasama ng iyong mga magulang, na aking patatatagin ang iyong binhi pagkamatay mo, na magiging sa iyong mga anak; at aking itatatag ang kaniyang kaharian.

12 Kaniyang ipagtatayo ako ng isang bahay, at aking itatatag ang kaniyang luklukan magpakailan man.

13 (C)Ako'y magiging kaniyang ama, at siya'y magiging aking anak: at hindi ko na aalisin ang aking kaawaan sa kaniya, gaya ng aking pagkakuha roon sa nauna sa iyo:

14 Kundi siya'y aking ilalagay sa aking bahay at sa aking kaharian magpakailan man: at ang kaniyang luklukan ay matatatag magpakailan man.

15 Ayon sa lahat na salitang ito, at ayon sa buong pangitaing ito, ay gayon sinalita ni Nathan kay David.

Ang panalangin ni David na sagot sa Panginoon.

16 Nang magkagayo'y yumaon ang haring David at naupo sa harap ng Panginoon; at kaniyang sinabi, Sino ako, Oh Panginoong Dios, at ano ang aking bahay na ako'y dinala mo sa ganyang kalayo?

17 At ito'y munting bagay sa harap ng iyong mga mata, Oh Dios; nguni't iyong sinalita tungkol sa sangbahayan ng iyong lingkod ang hanggang sa malaong panahong darating, at ako'y iyong nilingap na ayon sa kalagayan ng isang tao na may mataas na kalagayan, Oh Panginoong Dios.

18 Ano pa ang masasabi ni David sa iyo, tungkol sa karangalang ginawa sa iyong lingkod? sapagka't iyong kilala ang iyong lingkod.

19 Oh Panginoon, (D)dahil sa iyong lingkod, at ayon sa iyong sariling puso, ay iyong ginawa ang buong kadakilaang ito, upang ipakilala ang lahat na dakilang bagay na ito.

20 Oh Panginoon, walang gaya mo, ni mayroon mang sinomang Dios liban sa iyo, ayon sa lahat naming narinig ng aming mga pakinig.

21 At anong bansa sa lupa ang gaya ng iyong bayang Israel, na tinubos ng Dios upang maging kaniyang sariling bayan, upang gawin kang pangalan sa pamamagitan ng malaki at kakilakilabot na mga bagay, sa pagpapalayas ng mga bansa sa harap ng iyong bayan, na iyong tinubos sa Egipto?

22 Sapagka't ang iyong bayang Israel ay iyong ginawang iyong sariling bayan magpakailan man; at ikaw, Panginoon, ay naging kanilang Dios.

23 At ngayon, Oh Panginoon, matatag nawa ang salita na iyong sinalita tungkol sa iyong lingkod, at tungkol sa kaniyang sangbahayan magpakailan man, at gawin mo nawa na gaya ng iyong sinalita.

24 At ang iyong pangalan ay mamalagi nawa, at dakilain magpakailan man, na sabihin, Ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo ay Dios ng Israel, sa makatuwid baga'y Dios sa Israel: at ang sangbahayan ni David na iyong lingkod ay natatag sa harap mo.

25 Sapagka't ikaw, Oh aking Dios, napakilala sa iyong lingkod na iyong ipagtatayo siya ng bahay: kaya't pinangahasan ng iyong lingkod sa kaniyang puso na dumalangin sa harap mo.

26 At ngayon, Oh Panginoon, ikaw ang Dios, at iyong ipinangako ang dakilang bagay na ito sa iyong lingkod:

27 At ngayo'y kinalugdan mong pagpalain ang sangbahayan ng iyong lingkod, upang mamalagi magpakailan man sa harap mo: sapagka't iyong pinagpala, Oh Panginoon, at yao'y magiging mapalad magpakailan man.

Promesa de Dios a David

17 (A)Cuando David ya moraba en su casa, le dijo al profeta Natán: «Yo habito en una casa de cedro, pero el arca del pacto del Señor está bajo una tienda[a]».

Entonces Natán dijo a David: «Haga todo lo que está en su corazón, porque Dios está con usted». Esa misma noche la palabra de Dios vino a Natán y le dijo: «Ve y dile a Mi siervo David: “Así dice el Señor: ‘Tú no me edificarás casa para que Yo habite en ella(B). No he morado en una casa desde el día en que hice subir a Israel hasta hoy, sino que he ido de tienda en tienda y de morada en morada(C). En todos los lugares donde he andado con todo Israel, ¿he hablado alguna palabra con alguien de los jueces de Israel, a quienes mandé apacentar a Mi pueblo, diciéndoles: “Por qué ustedes no me han edificado una casa de cedro(D)?”’”.

»Ahora pues, así dirás a Mi siervo David: “Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: ‘Yo te tomé del pastizal, de seguir las ovejas, para que fueras príncipe sobre Mi pueblo Israel. He estado contigo por dondequiera que has ido y he exterminado a todos tus enemigos de delante de ti, y haré de ti un nombre como el nombre de los grandes que hay en la tierra. Asignaré también un lugar para Mi pueblo Israel, y lo plantaré allí para que habite en su propio lugar y no sea removido más. Tampoco los malvados[b] los oprimirán más como antes, 10 como desde los días que ordené que hubiera jueces sobre Mi pueblo Israel; y someteré a todos tus enemigos. Además te hago saber que el Señor te edificará una casa. 11 Y sucederá que cuando se cumplan tus días para que vayas a estar con tus padres, levantaré a uno de tus descendientes[c] después de ti, que será de tus hijos; y estableceré su reino. 12 Él me edificará una casa, y Yo estableceré su trono para siempre. 13 Yo seré padre para él y él será hijo para Mí(E); y no quitaré de él Mi misericordia, como la quité de aquel que estaba antes de ti(F). 14 Sino que lo confirmaré en Mi casa y en Mi reino para siempre, y su trono será establecido para siempre’”». 15 Conforme a todas estas palabras y conforme a toda esta visión, así habló Natán a David.

Oración de David

16 Entonces el rey David entró y se presentó delante del Señor, y dijo: «¿Quién soy yo, oh Señor Dios, y qué es mi casa para que me hayas traído hasta aquí(G)? 17 Y aun esto fue poco ante Tus ojos, oh Dios, pues también has hablado de la casa de Tu siervo concerniente a un futuro lejano, y me has considerado conforme a la medida de un hombre excelso, oh Señor Dios. 18 ¿Qué más te puede decir David en cuanto al honor concedido a Tu siervo? Porque Tú conoces a Tu siervo. 19 Oh Señor, por amor a Tu siervo y según Tu corazón, Tú has hecho esta gran cosa para manifestar todas estas grandezas(H). 20 Oh Señor, no hay nadie como Tú, ni hay Dios fuera de Ti, conforme a todo lo que hemos oído con nuestros oídos. 21 ¿Y qué otra nación en la tierra es como Tu pueblo Israel, al cual Dios vino a redimir como pueblo para Sí, a fin de darte un nombre por medio de cosas grandes y terribles, al echar naciones de delante de Tu pueblo, al que rescataste de Egipto? 22 Pues hiciste a Tu pueblo Israel pueblo Tuyo para siempre(I), y Tú, Señor, has venido a ser su Dios.

23 »Y ahora, Señor, que la palabra que Tú has hablado acerca de Tu siervo y acerca de su casa sea afirmada para siempre. Haz según has hablado. 24 Y sea confirmado y engrandecido Tu nombre para siempre, al decirse: “El Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel, es Dios para Israel; y que la casa de Tu siervo David sea establecida delante de Ti”. 25 Porque Tú, Dios mío, has revelado a Tu siervo que le edificarás una casa; por tanto Tu siervo ha hallado ánimo para orar delante de Ti. 26 Ahora pues, Señor, Tú eres Dios, y has prometido bien a Tu siervo. 27 Y ahora, ten a bien bendecir la casa de Tu siervo, a fin de que permanezca para siempre delante de Ti; porque Tú, Señor, la has bendecido, y es bendecida para siempre».

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.”

  1. 1 Chronicles 17:6 Traditionally judges; also in verse 10

17 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.

Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.

And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

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.

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?

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:

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.

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.
