2 Samuel 7:5-7
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
5 Va dire à mon serviteur David: Ainsi parle l’Eternel: Est-ce toi qui me bâtirais une maison pour que j’en fasse ma demeure? 6 Mais je n’ai point habité dans une maison depuis le jour où j’ai fait monter les enfants d’Israël hors d’Egypte jusqu’à ce jour; j’ai voyagé sous une tente et dans un tabernacle. 7 Partout où j’ai marché avec tous les enfants d’Israël, ai-je dit un mot à l’une des tribus d’Israël à qui j’avais ordonné de paître mon peuple d’Israël, ai-je dit: Pourquoi ne me bâtissez-vous pas une maison de cèdre?

6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
