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

¹وكان لما سكن الملك في بيته واراحه الرب من كل الجهات من جميع اعدائه

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.”

²ان الملك قال لناثان النبي انظر. اني ساكن في بيت من ارز وتابوت الله ساكن داخل الشقق.

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

³فقال ناثان للملك اذهب افعل كل ما بقلبك لان الرب معك.

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

⁴وفي تلك الليلة كان كلام الرب الى ناثان قائلا

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

⁵اذهب وقل لعبدي داود هكذا قال الرب. أأنت تبني لي بيتا لسكناي.

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.

⁶لاني لم اسكن في بيت منذ يوم اصعدت بني اسرائيل من مصر الى هذا اليوم بل كنت اسير في خيمة وفي مسكن.

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?’”’

⁷في كل ما سرت مع جميع بني اسرائيل هل تكلمت بكلمة الى احد قضاة اسرائيل الذين امرتهم ان يرعوا شعبي اسرائيل قائلا لماذا لم تبنوا لي بيتا من الارز.

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.

⁸والآن فهكذا تقول لعبدي داود. هكذا قال رب الجنود انا اخذتك من المربض من وراء الغنم لتكون رئيسا على شعبي اسرائيل.

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.

⁹وكنت معك حيثما توجهت وقرضت جميع اعدائك من امامك وعملت لك اسما عظيما كاسم العظماء الذين في الارض.

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,

¹⁰وعيّنت مكانا لشعبي اسرائيل وغرسته فسكن في مكانه ولا يضطرب بعد ولا يعود بنو الاثم يذللونه كما في الاول

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.

¹¹ومنذ يوم اقمت فيه قضاة على شعبي اسرائيل. وقد ارحتك من جميع اعدائك. والرب يخبرك ان الرب يصنع لك بيتا.

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.

¹²متى كملت ايامك واضطجعت مع آبائك اقيم بعدك نسلك الذي يخرج من احشائك واثبت مملكته.

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

¹³هو يبني بيتا لاسمي وانا اثبت كرسي مملكته الى الابد.

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;

¹⁴انا اكون له ابا وهو يكون لي ابنا. ان تعوج أؤدبه بقضيب الناس وبضربات بني آدم.

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

¹⁵ولكن رحمتي لا تنزع منه كما نزعتها من شاول الذي ازلته من امامك.

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

¹⁶ويأمن بيتك ومملكتك الى الابد امامك. كرسيك يكون ثابتا الى الابد.

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

¹⁷فحسب جميع هذا الكلام وحسب كل هذه الرؤيا كذلك كلم ناثان داود

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?

¹⁸فدخل الملك داود وجلس امام الرب وقال. من انا يا سيدي الرب وما هو بيتي حتى اوصلتني الى ههنا.

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!

¹⁹وقلّ هذا ايضا في عينيك يا سيدي الرب فتكلمت ايضا من جهة بيت عبدك الى زمان طويل. وهذه عادة الانسان يا سيدي الرب.

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

²⁰وبماذا يعود داود يكلمك وانت قد عرفت عبدك يا سيدي الرب.

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

²¹فمن اجل كلمتك وحسب قلبك فعلت هذه العظائم كلها لتعرّف عبدك.

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.

²²لذلك قد عظمت ايها الرب الاله لانه ليس مثلك وليس اله غيرك حسب كل ما سمعناه بآذاننا.

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?

²³وايّة امة على الارض مثل شعبك اسرائيل الذي سار الله ليفتديه لنفسه شعبا ويجعل له اسما ويعمل لكم العظائم والتخاويف لارضك امام شعبك الذي افتديته لنفسك من مصر من الشعوب وآلهتهم.

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

²⁴وثبّت لنفسك شعبك اسرائيل شعبا لنفسك الى الابد وانت يا رب صرت لهم الها.

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.

²⁵والآن ايها الرب الاله اقم الى الابد الكلام الذي تكلمت به عن عبدك وعن بيته وافعل كما نطقت.

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.’

²⁶وليتعظم اسمك الى الابد فيقال رب الجنود اله على اسرائيل. وليكن بيت عبدك داود ثابتا امامك.

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.

²⁷لانك انت يا رب الجنود اله اسرائيل قد اعلنت لعبدك قائلا اني ابني لك بيتا. لذلك وجد عبدك في قلبه ان يصلي لك هذه الصلاة.

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

²⁸والآن يا سيدي الرب انت هو الله وكلامك هو حق وقد كلمت عبدك بهذا الخير.

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.”

²⁹فالآن ارتض وبارك بيت عبدك ليكون الى الابد امامك لانك انت يا سيدي الرب قد تكلمت فليبارك بيت عبدك ببركتك الى الابد
