大衛有意為耶和華建殿(A)
17 大衛住在自己宮中的時候，他對拿單先知說：“看哪，我住在香柏木做的王宮，耶和華的約櫃卻在帳幕裡。” 2 拿單對大衛說：“你可以照你的心意去作，因為 神與你同在。” 3 當夜， 神的話臨到拿單，說： 4 “你去對我的僕人大衛說：‘耶和華這樣說：你不可建殿給我居住。 5 因為自從我領以色列人上來那天起，直到今日，我都未曾住過殿宇，只是從這帳幕到那帳幕，從這帳棚到那帳棚。 6 我和以色列眾人，無論走到甚麼地方，從沒有向以色列的哪一個士師，就是我所吩咐牧養我的子民的，說：你們為甚麼不給我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？’ 7 現在你要對我的僕人大衛說：‘萬軍之耶和華這樣說：我把你從羊圈中選召出來，使你不再跟隨羊群，使你作領袖管治我的子民以色列。 8 無論你到哪裡去，我總與你同在；在你面前消滅你所有的仇敵；我必使你獲得名聲，好像世上偉人的名聲一樣。 9 我要為我的子民以色列人選定一個地方，栽培他們，使他們住在自己的地方，不再受攪擾，也不再像從前被惡徒苦害他們， 10 好像我吩咐士師統治我的子民以色列人的日子一樣。我必制伏你所有的仇敵，並且我告訴你，耶和華必為你建立家室。 11 你的壽數滿足，歸你列祖那裡的時候，我必興起你的後裔接替你，他是你的眾子中的一位；我必堅立他的國。 12 他要為我建造殿宇，我必堅立他的王位，直到永遠。 13 我要作他的父親，他要作我的兒子；我的慈愛必不離開他，像離開在你以前的那位一樣； 14 我卻要把他堅立在我的家裡和我的國裡，直到永遠；他的王位必永遠堅立。’” 15 拿單就按著這一切話和他所見的一切，告訴了大衛。
大衛的禱告與稱頌(B)
16 於是大衛王進去，坐在耶和華面前，說：“耶和華 神啊，我是甚麼人？我的家算甚麼，你竟帶領我到這個地步？ 17 神啊，這在你眼中看為小事，你對你僕人的家的未來發出應許！耶和華 神啊，你看我好像一個高貴的人。 18 你把榮耀加在你僕人身上，我還有甚麼話可以對你說呢？你認識你的僕人。 19 耶和華啊，為了你僕人的緣故，也是按著你的心意，你行了這一切大事，為要使人知道這一切大事。 20 耶和華啊，照著我們耳中所聽見的，沒有誰能與你相比；除你以外，再沒有別的神。 21 世上有哪一個國能比得上你的子民以色列呢？ 神親自把他們救贖出來，作自己的子民，又在你從埃及所救贖出來的子民面前驅逐列國，以大而可畏的事建立自己的名。 22 你使你的子民以色列永遠作你的子民；耶和華啊，你也作了他們的 神。 23 耶和華啊，現在求你永遠堅立你應許你僕人和他的家的話，照著你所說的實行吧。 24 願你的名永遠堅立、尊大，以致人人都說：‘萬軍之耶和華以色列的 神，實在是以色列人的 神。’這樣，你僕人大衛的家就在你面前得到堅立了。 25 我的 神啊，因為你啟示了你的僕人，要你的僕人為你建造殿宇，所以你僕人才敢在你面前這樣禱告。 26 耶和華啊，唯有你是 神，你曾應許把這福氣賜給你的僕人； 27 現在請你賜福你僕人的家，使它在你面前永遠存留。耶和華啊，因為你已經賜福了你僕人的家，它必永遠蒙福。”
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.”

Orthodox Jewish Bible
17 Now it came to pass, as Dovid sat in his bais, that Dovid said to Natan HaNavi, Hinei, I dwell in a bais ha’arazim (a palace of cedars) but the Aron Brit Hashem [dwelleth] under tent curtains.
2 Then Natan said to Dovid, Do all that is in thine levav; for HaElohim is with thee.
3 And it came to pass the same lailah, that the Devar Elohim came to Natan, saying,
4 Go and tell Dovid Avdi, Thus saith Hashem, Thou shalt not build Me HaBayit to dwell in,
5 For I have not dwelt in a Bayit since the day that I brought up Yisroel until this day, but have gone from ohel to ohel, and from one mishkan to another.
6 Wheresoever I have walked with kol Yisroel, spoke I a word to any of the Shofetim of Yisroel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, Why have ye not built me a Bais Arazim?
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto Avdi Dovid, Thus saith Hashem Tzva’os, I took thee from the naveh, even from following the tzon, that thou shouldest be Nagid over My people Yisroel;
8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine oyevim from before thee, and have made thee a shem like the shem of the gedolim that are in ha’aretz.
9 Also I will ordain a makom for My people Yisroel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the bnei avel oppress them any more, as they did at the beginning,
10 And since the time that I commanded Shofetim to be over My people Yisroel. Moreover I will subdue all thine oyevim. Furthermore I tell thee that Hashem will build thee a Bais (House, Dynasty).
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy yamim are expired that thou must go to be with Avoteicha, that I will raise up thy zera after thee, which shall be of thy banim; and I will establish his Malchut ([Messianic] Kingdom).
12 He shall build for Me a Bais, and I will establish his kisse ad olam.
13 I will be his Av, and he shall be My Ben [HaElohim]; and I will not take My chesed away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee,
14 But I will set him in Mine Bais and in My Malchut ad olam, and his kisse shall be established ad olam.
15 According to all these devarim, and according to all this chazon (revelation), so did Natan speak unto Dovid.
16 And Dovid HaMelech came and sat before Hashem, and said, Who am I, Hashem Elohim, and what is mine bais, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 And as if this were not sufficient in Thine eyes, O Elohim, Thou hast also spoken of Bais Avdecha in the future afar off, and hast regarded me according to the estate of ha’adam hama’alah (the man of high degree), O Hashem Elohim.
18 What more can Dovid speak to Thee regarding the kavod of Thy eved? For Thou hast da’as of Thy eved.
19 Hashem, for the sake of Thy eved, and according to Thine own lev (heart, will), hast Thou done all this gedullah (greatness), in making known kol hagedulot (all great things).
20 Hashem, there is none like Thee, neither is there any Elohim zulah (besides) Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 And what one goy (nation) in ha’aretz is like Thy people Yisroel, whom HaElohim went to redeem to be His own people, to make for Thee Shem Gedullot and Nora’ot, by driving out Goyim from before Thy people whom Thou hast redeemed out of Mitzrayim?
22 For Thy people Yisroel didst Thou make Thine own people ad olam; Thou Hashem, became their Elohim.
23 Therefore now, Hashem, let the davar that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy eved and concerning his Bais be established ad olam, and do as Thou hast said.
24 Let it even be established, that Thy Shem may be magnified ad olam, saying, Hashem Tzva’os is Elohei Yisroel, even Elohim to Yisroel; let Bais Dovid Avdecha be established before Thee.
25 For Thou, O Elohai, hast revealed in the ozen of Thy eved that Thou wilt build him a Bais; therefore Thy eved hath found to daven in prayer before Thee.
26 Now, Hashem, Thou art HaElohim, and hast promised this tovah unto Thy eved.
27 Now therefore let it please Thee to make brocha upon the Bais of Thy eved, that it may be before Thee l’olam; for Thou makest brocha Hashem, and it shall be mevorech l’olam (blessed forever).
