Ang Pag-ampo ni David

(1 Cro. 17:16-27)

18 Unya misulod si Haring David sa Tolda diin nahimutang ang sudlanan sa Kasabotan. Milingkod siya diha sa presensya sa Ginoo ug nagaampo, “Ginoong Dios, si kinsa ba gayod ako ug ang akong pamilya nga gipanalanginan mo man ako ug sama niini? 19 Ug karon, Ginoong Dios, may saad ka pa gayod mahitungod sa kaugmaon sa akong pamilya. Mao ba gayod kini ang sagad nimong ginahimo ngadto sa tawo? 20 Unsa pa may akong ikasulti kanimo, Ginoong Dios, nga nasayod ka man kon kinsa gayod ako nga imong alagad? 21 Tungod sa imong saad ug sumala sa imong pagbuot, gihimo mo kining dagkong mga butang ug gipahibalo mo kanako nga imong alagad.

22 “Ginoong Dios, gamhanan ka gayod! Wala gayoy sama kanimo ug wala nay laing Dios gawas kanimo. Wala gani kami makadungog nga may dios nga sama kanimo. 23 Ug walay katawhan nga sama sa imong katawhan nga mga Israelinhon. Mao lang kini ang nasod dinhi sa kalibotan nga imong giluwas gikan sa pagkaulipon aron mahimong imong katawhan. Nahimo kang bantogan sa imong pagpagawas kanila gikan sa Ehipto, ug sa imong paghimog katingalahang mga butang sa dihang giabog mo ang mga nasod ug ang ilang mga dios aron makapuyo didto ang imong katawhan. 24 Gihimo mo ang mga Israelinhon nga imong katawhan sa walay kataposan, ug ikaw, Ginoo, nahimong ilang Dios.

25-26 “Ug karon, Ginoong Dios, tumana ang imong gisaad kanako nga imong alagad ug sa akong pamilya, aron mapasidunggan ka hangtod sa kahangtoran. Unya moingon ang mga tawo, ‘Ang Ginoo nga Makagagahom Dios sa Israel!’ Ug ang akong pamilya mahiluna diha sa imong presensya hangtod sa kahangtoran. 27 Ginoo nga Makagagahom, Dios sa Israel, may kaisog ako sa pag-ampo niini kanimo tungod kay gipadayag mo kanako nga imong alagad nga sa kanunay may magahari nga usa sa akong mga kaliwat. 28 Ginoong Dios, tinuod ikaw nga Dios! Gisaad mo kining maayong mga butang kanako nga imong alagad, ug kasaligan gayod ang imong mga saad. 29 Hinaut nga ikalipay mo ang pagpanalangin sa akong pamilya aron magpabilin kini diha sa imong presensya hangtod sa kahangtoran, kay mao kini ang imong gisaad, Ginoong Dios. Ug tungod niining imong panalangin, mabulahan ang akong pamilya hangtod sa kahangtoran.”

David’s Prayer(A)

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:

“Who am I,(B) 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,(C) Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human![a]

20 “What more can David say(D) to you? For you know(E) your servant,(F) 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(G) you are,(H) Sovereign Lord! There is no one like(I) you, and there is no God(J) but you, as we have heard with our own ears.(K) 23 And who is like your people Israel(L)—the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name(M) for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders(N) by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed(O) from Egypt?[b] 24 You have established your people Israel as your very own(P) forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.(Q)

25 “And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise(R) you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, 26 so that your name(S) 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(T) 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,(U) 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(V) the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”

  2. 2 Samuel 7:23 See Septuagint and 1 Chron. 17:21; Hebrew wonders for your land and before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt, from the nations and their gods.

18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?

20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.

21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.

25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
