¹Kord kui kuningas istus oma kojas ja Issand oli andnud temale rahu kõigist ta vaenlasist ümberkaudu,

¹It happened, when the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

²ütles kuningas prohvet Naatanile: 'Vaata ometi, mina elan seedripuust kojas, aga Jumala laegas asub telgiriide all!'

²that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.”

³Ja Naatan ütles kuningale: 'Mine tee kõik, mis sul südame peal on, sest Issand on sinuga!'

³Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart; for Yahweh is with you.”

⁴Aga selsamal ööl sündis, et Naatanile tuli Issanda sõna, kes ütles:

⁴It happened the same night, that the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,

⁵'Mine ja ütle mu sulasele Taavetile: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Kas sina tahad ehitada mulle elamiseks koja?

⁵“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?

⁶Sest ma pole kojas elanud alates päevast, mil ma tõin Iisraeli lapsed Egiptusest välja, kuni tänapäevani, vaid ma olen rännanud telkelamus.

⁶For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.

⁷Kus ma ka iganes kõigi Iisraeli lastega olen käinud, kas olen ma sõnagi lausunud mõnele Iisraeli suguharudest, keda ma olen käskinud oma Iisraeli rahvast karjasena hoida, ja öelnud: Mispärast te ei ehita mulle seedripuust koda?

⁷In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’

⁸Ja nüüd ütle mu sulasele Taavetile nõnda: Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Ma olen sind võtnud karjamaalt lammaste ja kitsede järelt, et sa oleksid vürstiks mu rahvale Iisraelile.

⁸Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel.

⁹Ja ma olen sinuga olnud kõikjal, kus sa oled käinud, ja olen sinu eest hävitanud kõik su vaenlased. Ma tahan teha sinu nime suureks, võrdseks suurimate nimedega maa peal.

⁹I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

¹⁰Ja ma tahan määrata paiga oma Iisraeli rahvale ja teda nõnda istutada, et ta võib elada oma kohal ega pea enam kartma; ja pöörased inimesed ei tohi teda enam vaevata nagu varem

¹⁰I 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 afflict them any more, as at the first,

¹¹ja nagu sel ajal, kui ma seadsin kohtumõistjaid oma Iisraeli rahvale; ja ma annan sulle rahu kõigist su vaenlasist. Ja Issand kuulutab sulle, et Issand annab sulle järeltuleva soo.

¹¹and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.

¹²Kui su päevad täis saavad ja sa puhkad koos oma vanematega, siis ma lasen pärast sind tõusta sinu järglase, kes tuleb välja sinu niudeist, ja ma kinnitan tema kuningriigi.

¹²When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

¹³Tema ehitab mu nimele koja ja mina kinnitan tema kuningriigi aujärje igaveseks ajaks.

¹³He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

¹⁴Mina tahan olla temale isaks ja tema peab olema mulle pojaks! Kui ta eksib, siis ma karistan teda inimeste vitsaga ja inimlaste nuhtlustega.

¹⁴I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

¹⁵Aga mu heldus ei lahku temast, nõnda nagu ma selle ära võtsin Saulilt, kelle ma kõrvaldasin su eest.

¹⁵but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

¹⁶Ja su sugu ning su kuningriik püsivad su ees igavesti, su aujärg on kinnitatud igaveseks.'

¹⁶Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.”’”

¹⁷Nõnda nagu olid kõik need sõnad ja nõnda nagu oli kogu see nägemus, nõnda kõneles Naatan Taavetile.

¹⁷According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

¹⁸Siis kuningas Taavet läks ja astus Issanda ette ning ütles: 'Issand, mu Jumal, kes olen mina ja kes on mu sugu, et sa mind senini oled saatnud?

¹⁸Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

¹⁹Aga sedagi on olnud vähe su silmis, Issand Jumal, ja seepärast oled sa rääkinud oma sulase soole ta tulevikust, ja see on õpetus inimesele, Issand Jumal!

¹⁹This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this after the way of men, Lord Yahweh!

²⁰Ja mida Taavet sulle veel rohkem peaks kõnelema? Sa ju tunned oma sulast, Issand Jumal!

²⁰What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.

²¹Oma sõna pärast ja oma südame järgi oled sa talitanud, kõiki neid suuri asju oma sulasele teatavaks tehes.

²¹For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

²²Seepärast oled sina, Issand Jumal, suur. Sest ükski pole sinu sarnane ega ole ka muud Jumalat kui sina, kõige selle põhjal, mida me oma kõrvaga oleme kuulnud.

²²Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

²³Ja kes on nagu sinu rahvas, nagu Iisrael, ainus rahvas maa peal, keda Jumal ise on käinud enesele rahvaks lunastamas, et teha enesele nime ja nende ees korda saata suuri ja kardetavaid tegusid? Sina ajasid ju ära oma rahva eest, keda sa enesele Egiptusest lunastasid, rahvad ja nende jumalad.

²³What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeem to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

²⁴Ja sa oled enesele kinnitanud oma Iisraeli rahva, rahvaks sulle igaveseks ajaks. Ja sina, Issand, oled saanud neile Jumalaks.

²⁴You established for yourself your people Israel to be a people to you forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

²⁵Ja nüüd, Issand Jumal, kinnita igaveseks sõna, mis sa oma sulase ja tema soo kohta oled rääkinud! Ja tee nõnda, nagu sa oled rääkinud!

²⁵Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

²⁶Siis saab su nimi igavesti suureks ja öeldakse: Vägede Issand on Iisraeli Jumal! Ja sinu sulase Taaveti sugu seisab kindlalt su ees.

²⁶Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.’

²⁷Sest sina, vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, oled oma sulase kõrvale ilmutanud ja öelnud: Mina annan sulle järeltuleva soo. Seepärast on su sulane leidnud julguse sind paluda selle palvega.

²⁷For you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

²⁸Ja nüüd, Issand Jumal! Sina oled Jumal ja sinu sõnad on tõde ja sa oled oma sulasele lubanud seda head;

²⁸“Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

²⁹alusta siis nüüd ja õnnista oma sulase sugu, et see jääks igavesti sinu ette! Sest sina, Issand Jumal, oled rääkinud ja sinu õnnistusega õnnistatakse su sulase sugu igavesti.'

²⁹Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
