¹Kui siis Taavet elas oma kojas, ütles Taavet prohvet Naatanile: 'Vaata, mina elan seedripuust kojas, aga Issanda seaduselaegas on telgiriiete all.'

¹It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is under curtains.”

²Ja Naatan ütles Taavetile: 'Tee kõik, mis sul südame peal on, sest Issand on sinuga!'

²Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”

³Aga selsamal ööl sündis, et Naatanile tuli Issanda sõna, kes ütles:

³It happened the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

⁴'Mine ja ütle mu sulasele Taavetile: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Sina ära ehita mulle elamiseks koda.

⁴“Go and tell David my servant, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in;

⁵Sest ma pole kojas elanud alates päevast, kui ma tõin Iisraeli ära, kuni tänapäevani, vaid olen rännanud telgist telki ja paigast teise.

⁵for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.

⁶Kus ma ka iganes kogu Iisraelis olen käinud, kas ma olen sõnagi lausunud ainsalegi Iisraeli kohtumõistjale, keda ma olin käskinud minu rahvast karjasena hoida, ja öelnud: Mispärast te ei ehita mulle seedripuust koda?

⁶In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’

⁷Ja nüüd ütle mu sulasele Taavetile nõnda: Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Ma olen sind võtnud karjamaalt lammaste ja kitsede järelt, et sa oleksid mu rahvale, Iisraelile, vürstiks.

⁷“Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.

⁸Ja ma olen sinuga olnud kõikjal, kus sa oled käinud, ja olen kõik su vaenlased sinu eest hävitanud. Nüüd tahan ma sinu nime teha võrdseks suurimate nimedega maa peal.

⁸I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

⁹Ja ma tahan oma rahvale, Iisraelile, paiga määrata ja teda nõnda istutada, et ta oma kohal võib elada ega tarvitse enam karta, ja pöörased inimesed ei tohi teda enam vaevata nagu varem

⁹I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,

¹⁰ja sel ajal, kui ma seadsin kohtumõistjaid oma Iisraeli rahvale. Ja ma alandan kõik su vaenlased ja kuulutan sulle, et Issand annab sulle järeltuleva soo.

¹⁰and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.

¹¹Ja kui su päevad täis saavad ja sa lähed oma vanemate juurde, siis ma lasen tõusta pärast sind sinu järglase, kes on üks su poegi, ja ma kinnitan tema kuningriigi.

¹¹It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

¹²Tema ehitab mulle koja ja mina kinnitan tema aujärje igaveseks ajaks.

¹²He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

¹³Mina tahan olla temale isaks ja tema peab olema mulle pojaks; oma heldust ma temast ei lahuta, nõnda nagu ma lahutasin tollest, kes oli enne sind.

¹³I will be his father, and he shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

¹⁴Ja ma panen ta igaveseks oma kotta ja kuningriiki, ja tema aujärg on igavesti kindel.'

¹⁴but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever.”’”

¹⁵Nõnda nagu olid kõik need sõnad ja nõnda nagu oli kogu see nägemus, nõnda kõneles Naatan Taavetile.

¹⁵According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

¹⁶Siis kuningas Taavet läks ja astus Issanda ette ning ütles: 'Issand Jumal! Kes olen mina ja kes on mu sugu, et sa mind senini oled saatnud?

¹⁶Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

¹⁷Aga sedagi on olnud vähe su silmis, Jumal, ja seepärast oled sa rääkinud oma sulase soole tulevikust: sa oled vaadanud mind kui ülendatud inimeste rida, Issand Jumal!

¹⁷This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the estate of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.

¹⁸Mida peaks Taavet sulle veelgi kõnelema aust, mida sa oled osutanud oma sulasele? Sina ju tunned oma sulast.

¹⁸What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.

¹⁹Issand! Oma sulase pärast ja oma südame järgi oled sa kõiki neid suuri asju teinud ja kõik need suured asjad teatavaks teinud.

¹⁹Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

²⁰Issand! Kõige selle järgi, mida me oma kõrvaga oleme kuulnud, ei ole ükski sinu sarnane ega ole muud Jumalat kui sina.

²⁰Yahweh, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²¹Ja kes on nagu sinu rahvas Iisrael, ainus rahvas maa peal, keda Jumal ise on käinud enesele rahvaks lunastamas? Sa oled enesele teinud suure ja kardetava nime, ajades paganad ära oma rahva eest, kelle sa Egiptusest lunastasid.

²¹What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeem out of Egypt?

²²Ja sa oled oma Iisraeli rahva määranud enesele rahvaks igaveseks ajaks. Jah, sina, Issand, oled saanud neile Jumalaks.

²²For your people Israel you made your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

²³Ja nüüd, Issand, olgu see sõna, mis sa oma sulase ja tema soo kohta oled rääkinud, igavesti kindel ja tee nõnda, nagu sa oled rääkinud!

²³Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.

²⁴Siis on su nimi igavesti kindel ja suur, ja öeldakse: Vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, on Iisraelile Jumalaks, ja su sulase Taaveti sugu seisab kindlalt su ees.

²⁴Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’

²⁵Sest sina, mu Jumal, oled oma sulase kõrvale ilmutanud, et sa annad temale järeltuleva soo. Seepärast julgeb su sulane sind paluda.

²⁵For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

²⁶Ja nüüd, Issand! Sina oled Jumal ja sina oled oma sulasele lubanud seda head,

²⁶Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.

²⁷hakka siis nüüd oma sulase sugu õnnistama, et see igavesti sinu ette jääks! Sest mida sina, Issand, õnnistad, see jääb igavesti õnnistatuks!'

²⁷Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
