2 Samuelsboken 7:12-29
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
12 (A) När din tid är slut och du vilar hos dina fäder ska jag efter dig upphöja din avkomling[a] som ska utgå ur ditt liv, och jag ska befästa hans kungadöme. 13 (B) Han ska bygga ett hus åt mitt namn, och jag ska befästa hans kungatron för evigt. 14 (C) Jag ska vara hans far och han ska vara min son. Gör han något orättfärdigt ska jag straffa honom med människors ris och med plågor som drabbar människors barn.[b] 15 (D) Men min nåd ska inte vika från honom, så som jag lät den vika från Saul, som jag lät vika för dig. 16 Ditt hus och ditt kungadöme ska bestå inför mig till evig tid. Din tron ska vara befäst för evig tid.”
Davids bön
17 Alla dessa ord och hela denna uppenbarelse talade Natan till David. 18 (E) Då gick kung David in och satte sig inför Herrens ansikte och sade: ”Vem är jag, Herre Gud, och vad är mitt hus, eftersom du har fört mig ända hit? 19 Och ändå var det för lite i dina ögon, Herre Gud.
Nu har du också talat om din tjänares hus i framtiden, och detta till undervisning för människorna, Herre Gud. 20 (F) Vad ska David säga mera till dig? Du känner din tjänare, Herre Gud. 21 För ditt ords skull och efter ditt hjärta har du gjort allt detta stora och gjort det känt för din tjänare. 22 (G) Därför är du stor, Herre Gud, för ingen är som du, och det finns ingen annan Gud än du efter allt vi har hört med våra öron. 23 (H) Finns det något enda folk på jorden som ditt folk Israel, det som Gud själv kom och friköpte åt sig som sitt eget, för att göra sitt namn känt? Du har gjort storverk för dem och förunderliga ting för ditt land och inför ögonen på ditt folk som du friköpt från Egypten, från hednafolken och deras gudar. 24 Du har gjort ditt folk Israel till ditt folk för evig tid, och du, Herre, har blivit deras Gud.
25 Så uppfyll nu, min Herre och Gud, för evigt det ord du har talat om din tjänare och om hans hus. Gör som du har lovat. 26 Då ska ditt namn upphöjas för evigt och man ska säga: Herren Sebaot är Gud över Israel. Så ska din tjänare Davids hus bestå inför dig. 27 För du, Herre Sebaot, Israels Gud, har uppenbarat för din tjänare och sagt: Jag ska bygga dig ett hus. Därför har din tjänare funnit frimodighet att be denna bön till dig.
28 Och nu, Herre Gud, du är Gud, och dina ord är sanning, och du har lovat din tjänare detta goda. 29 Var nu god och välsigna din tjänares hus så att det blir kvar inför dig för evigt. För du, Herre Gud, har talat, och genom din välsignelse ska din tjänares hus bli välsignat för evigt.”

2 Samuel 7:12-29
New International Version
12 When your days are over and you rest(A) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,(B) and I will establish his kingdom.(C) 13 He is the one who will build a house(D) for my Name,(E) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.(F) 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.(G) When he does wrong, I will punish him(H) with a rod(I) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him,(J) as I took it away from Saul,(K) whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[a]; your throne(L) will be established(M) forever.(N)’”
17 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.
David’s Prayer(O)
18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:
“Who am I,(P) 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,(Q) Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human![b]
20 “What more can David say(R) to you? For you know(S) your servant,(T) 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(U) you are,(V) Sovereign Lord! There is no one like(W) you, and there is no God(X) but you, as we have heard with our own ears.(Y) 23 And who is like your people Israel(Z)—the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name(AA) for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders(AB) by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed(AC) from Egypt?[c] 24 You have established your people Israel as your very own(AD) forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.(AE)
25 “And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise(AF) you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, 26 so that your name(AG) 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(AH) 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,(AI) 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(AJ) the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”

2 Samuel 7:12-29
English Standard Version
12 (A)When your days are fulfilled and (B)you lie down with your fathers, (C)I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body,[a] and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (D)He shall build a house for my name, and (E)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (F)I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, (G)I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 (H)but my steadfast love will not depart from him, (I)as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 (J)And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.[b] (K)Your throne shall be established forever.’” 17 In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
David's Prayer of Gratitude
18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, (L)“Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? 19 And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. (M)You have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God! 20 And what more can David say to you? (N)For you know your servant, O Lord God! 21 Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it. 22 (O)Therefore you are great, O Lord God. (P)For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23 (Q)And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making himself a name (R)and doing for them[c] great and awesome things by driving out before your people,[d] whom (S)you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods? 24 (T)And you established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever. And you, O Lord, became their God. 25 And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken. 26 And your name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of your servant David will be established before you. 27 For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. 28 And now, O Lord God, you are God, and (U)your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. 29 Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, (V)and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.”
