2 Samuel 7
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Kasunduan ng Diyos kay David(A)
7 Si David ay panatag nang nakatira sa kanyang palasyo. Sa tulong ni Yahweh, hindi na siya ginambala ng kanyang mga kaaway. 2 Tinawag niya si Natan at sinabi, “Ang tahanan ko'y yari sa sedar, samantalang nasa isang tolda lamang ang Kaban ng Diyos.”
3 Sumagot si Natan, “Isagawa mo ang iyong iniisip, sapagkat si Yahweh ay sumasaiyo.” 4 Ngunit nang gabi ring iyon, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Natan, 5 “Pumunta ka kay David na aking lingkod at sabihin mo, ‘Ipagtatayo mo ba ako ng tahanan? 6 Mula nang ilabas ko sa Egipto ang Israel, wala pa akong bahay na masasabing akin. Hanggang ngayo'y tolda pa ang aking tahanan. 7 Kahit lagi akong kasama ng Israel, wala akong sinabing anuman sa sinumang pinuno tungkol sa tahanang sedar na dapat kong tirhan, gayong ako ang pumili sa kanila upang mamahala sa aking kawan.’ 8 Sabihin mo rin sa lingkod kong si David ang salitang ito ni Yahweh: ‘Kinuha kita mula sa pagpapastol ng tupa upang gawing pinuno ng bayang Israel. 9 Kasama mo ako saan ka man magtungo at lahat mong mga kaaway ay aking nilipol. Gagawin kong dakila ang iyong pangalan tulad ng mga dakilang tao sa daigdig. 10 Bibigyan ko ang Israel ng kanyang lupa at doon ko papatirahin. Wala nang gagambala sa kanila roon; wala nang taong mararahas na aalipin sa kanila tulad noong una, 11 buhat nang maglagay ako ng hukom nila. Magiging payapa ka sapagkat wala nang gagambala sa iyo. Bukod dito, akong si Yahweh ay nagsasabi sa iyo, papatatagin ko ang iyong sambahayan. 12 Pagkamatay(B) mo, isa sa mga anak mong lalaki ang hahalili sa iyo bilang hari, at papatatagin ko ang kanyang kaharian. 13 Siya ang magtatayo ng templo para sa akin, at sa kanyang angkan magmumula ang maghahari sa aking bayan magpakailanman. 14 Ako'y(C) kanyang magiging ama at siya'y aking magiging anak. Kung siya'y magkasala, paparusahan ko siya tulad ng pagpaparusa ng ama sa nagkakasalang anak. 15 Ngunit ang paglingap ko sa kanya'y hindi magbabago, di tulad ng nangyari kay Saul. 16 Magiging(D) matatag ang iyong sambahayan, ang iyong kaharia'y hindi mawawaglit sa aking paningin at mananatili ang iyong trono magpakailanman.’” 17 Isinaysay nga ni Natan kay David ang lahat ng sinabi sa kanya ni Yahweh.
Ang Panalangin ni David(E)
18 Pagkatapos nito, pumasok sa tolda si Haring David, umupo at nanalangin. Sinabi niya, “Ako po at ang aking pamilya ay hindi karapat-dapat sa lahat ng kabutihang ginawa ninyo sa akin, Panginoong Yahweh. 19 Maaaring maliit na bagay lamang ito sa inyong paningin, O Panginoong Yahweh, subalit napakalaki para sa amin sapagkat tiniyak na ninyo ang magandang kalagayan ng sambahayan ko para sa hinaharap. 20 Wala na akong masasabi sapagkat kilala ninyo ang inyong lingkod. 21 Ayon sa inyong pangako, niloob ninyong maging dakila ang inyong lingkod. 22 Napakadakila mo, O Panginoong Yahweh. Wala pa kaming nababalitaang Diyos na tulad ninyo. Ikaw lamang ang Diyos. 23 Walang(F) bansang maitutulad sa Israel. Ito'y hinango ninyo sa pagkaalipin upang maging inyong bayan. Ito lamang ang bansang pinagpakitaan ninyo ng mga kakila-kilabot at dakilang bagay para sila'y matulungan. Itinaboy ninyo ang ibang mga bansa at inalis ang kanilang mga diyus-diyosan pagdating nila. 24 Yahweh, itinatag ninyo ang bansang Israel upang maging inyo magpakailanman at kayo po ang kanilang naging Diyos.
25 “At ngayon Panginoong Yahweh, gawin ninyo ang inyong pangako sa inyong alipin at sa kanyang sambahayan. 26 Pararangalan ang inyong pangalan ng lahat ng bansa at sasabihin nila, ‘Si Yahweh, ang Makapangyarihan, ay Diyos ng Israel!’ Sa gayon, magiging matatag sa harapan ninyo ang sambahayan ni David na inyong lingkod. 27 Yahweh, Makapangyarihang Diyos ng Israel, nagkaroon ako ng lakas ng loob na manalangin ng ganito sapagkat kayo na rin ang nagsabi sa inyong lingkod na paghahariin ninyo sa Israel ang aking angkan.
28 “Panginoong Yahweh, kayo'y tapat at tumutupad sa mga pangako ninyo sa akin. 29 Ngayo'y pagpalain ninyo ang sambahayan ng inyong lingkod upang ito'y magpatuloy. Panginoong Yahweh, ikaw rin ang nangako nito kaya manatili nawa sa aking angkan ang iyong pagpapala.”
2 Samuel 7
New King James Version
God’s Covenant with David(A)
7 Now it came to pass (B)when the king was dwelling in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies all around, 2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in (C)a house of cedar, (D)but the ark of God dwells inside tent (E)curtains.”
3 Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your (F)heart, for the Lord is with you.”
4 But it happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, 5 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: (G)“Would you build a house for Me to dwell in? 6 For I have not dwelt in a house (H)since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in (I)a tent and in a tabernacle. 7 Wherever I have (J)moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded (K)to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’ 8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: (L)“I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel. 9 And (M)I have been with you wherever you have gone, (N)and have [a]cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will (O)plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; (P)nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 11 (Q)since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord [b]tells you (R)that He will make you a [c]house.
12 (S)“When your days are fulfilled and you (T)rest with your fathers, (U)I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (V)He shall build a house for My name, and I will (W)establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (X)I will be his Father, and he shall be (Y)My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the [d]blows of the sons of men. 15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, (Z)as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And (AA)your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before [e]you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
David’s Thanksgiving to God(AB)
18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: (AC)“Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? 19 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. (AD)Is this the manner of man, O Lord God? 20 Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God, (AE)know Your servant. 21 For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them. 22 Therefore (AF)You are great, [f]O Lord God. For (AG)there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our (AH)ears. 23 And who is like Your people, like Israel, (AI)the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before (AJ)Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods? 24 For (AK)You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; (AL)and You, Lord, have become their God.
25 “Now, O Lord God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said. 26 So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. 27 For You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You.
28 “And now, O Lord God, You are God, and (AM)Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant. 29 Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed (AN)forever.”

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
大衛有意為耶和華建殿(A)
7 那時，王住在自己的宮中，耶和華使他安享太平，不受周圍仇敵的侵擾。 2 王對拿單先知說：“你看！我自己住在香柏木的宮裡，耶和華的約櫃卻停在帳幕內。” 3 拿單對王說：“你可以照著你心所想的一切去作，因為耶和華與你同在。”
拿單把 神的話傳給大衛(B)
4 那天晚上，耶和華的話臨到拿單說： 5 “你去對我的僕人大衛說：耶和華這樣說：‘你要建造一座殿宇給我居住嗎？ 6 因為自從我把以色列人從埃及帶上來的那天起，直到今日，我都沒有住過殿宇。我一直都住在帳棚和會幕裡，到處漂泊。 7 我與以色列眾人一起走過的地方，我可曾對以色列的一個支派的官長，就是我所吩咐要牧養我子民以色列的，說：你們為甚麼不給我建造一座香柏木的殿宇呢？’ 8 現在你要對我的僕人大衛這樣說：‘萬軍之耶和華這樣說：我把你從牧場中、從照顧羊群的工作中揀選出來，使你作我子民以色列的領袖， 9 你無論到哪裡去，我都與你同在；我必在你面前剪除你所有的仇敵。我要使你得享大名，像世上那些偉人的名一樣。 10 我要為我的子民以色列選定一個地方，栽培他們，使他們住自己的地方，不再受騷擾；惡人也不能再像以前那樣苦待他們， 11 像我立了士師治理我的子民以色列的那天以來那樣。我要使你安享太平，不受你所有的仇敵侵擾。耶和華向你宣告，耶和華要親自為你建立一個朝代。 12 到了你的壽數滿足，你與你的列祖一起長眠的時候，我必興起你親生的後裔接替你，並且我要堅固他的國。 13 他必為我的名建造一座殿宇，我要永遠堅固他的國位。 14 我要作他的父親，他要作我的兒子，他若是犯了罪，我要用人的刑杖、用世人的鞭子糾正他。 15 但我的慈愛必不離開他，像離開在你面前的掃羅一樣。 16 你的家和你的王國，也必在我（按照《馬索拉文本》，“我”作“你”；現參照其他抄本及古譯本翻譯）的面前永遠堅定，你的王位也必永遠堅立。’” 17 拿單按著這一切話，又照著全部的默示，都對大衛說了。
大衛的禱告與稱頌(C)
18 於是，大衛王進去，坐在耶和華面前，說：“主耶和華啊！我是誰，我的家又算甚麼，你竟帶領我到這地步？ 19 主耶和華啊，這在你眼中還看為小事，你也說到你僕人的家未來的事。主耶和華啊，這豈是人常遇到的事嗎？ 20 主耶和華啊，你認識你的僕人，大衛還有甚麼話可以對你說呢？ 21 你因自己應許的緣故，又按照自己的心意，行了這大事，為要使你僕人明白。 22 主耶和華啊，因此，你是偉大的！按照我們耳朵所聽見的，沒有像你的，除了你以外，再沒有別的 神。 23 世上有哪一個國家像你的子民以色列呢？ 神曾親自救贖他們，使他們作自己的子民，又為他自己立名，為他們（按照《馬索拉文本》，“他們”作“你們”；現參照其他抄本及古譯本翻譯）作了大事，為你的地作了可畏的事；在你的子民面前，就是你從埃及救贖出來歸你自己的子民面前，趕出了列國的人和他們的神。 24 你為自己堅立了你的子民以色列，使他們永遠作你的子民；耶和華啊，你也作了他們的 神。 25 耶和華 神啊！你所應許關於你僕人和他的家的話，現在求你永遠堅守，並且照著你所說的去行吧； 26 這樣，你的名必永遠為大，以致人要說：‘萬軍之耶和華是以色列的 神。’你僕人大衛的家也必在你面前得堅立。 27 萬軍之耶和華以色列的 神啊！因為你曾啟示你的僕人說：‘我要為你建立家室。’所以你的僕人才敢來向你作這樣的禱告。 28 主耶和華啊！你是 神；你的話是真實可信的。你向你僕人應許了這美好的福分。 29 現在求你樂意賜福給你僕人的家，使它在你面前可以永遠存在。主耶和華啊！因為你曾經這樣應許，願你僕人的家因你的賜福永遠蒙福。”
