1 GLT وَكَانَ لَمَّا سَكَنَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَأَرَاحَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجِهَاتِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ، BSB BSB: After the king had settled into his palace and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him,
2 GLT أَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَالَ لِنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ:«ٱنْظُرْ. إِنِّي سَاكِنٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ أَرْزٍ، وَتَابُوتُ ٱللهِ سَاكِنٌ دَاخِلَ ٱلشُّقَقِ». BSB BSB: he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”
3 GLT فَقَالَ نَاثَانُ لِلْمَلِكِ:«ٱذْهَبِ ٱفْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا بِقَلْبِكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَعَكَ». BSB BSB: And Nathan replied to the king, “Go and do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
4 GLT وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى نَاثَانَ قَائِلًا: BSB BSB: But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,
5 GLT «اِذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَأَنْتَ تَبْنِي لِي بَيْتًا لِسُكْنَايَ؟ BSB BSB: “Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build for Me a house to dwell in?
6 GLT لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَسْكُنْ فِي بَيْتٍ مُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَصْعَدْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، بَلْ كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ فِي خَيْمَةٍ وَفِي مَسْكَنٍ. BSB BSB: For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved about with a tent as My dwelling.
7 GLT فِي كُلِّ مَا سِرْتُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَلْ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِكَلِمَةٍ إِلَى أَحَدِ قُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يَرْعَوْا شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: لِمَاذَا لَمْ تَبْنُوا لِي بَيْتًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْزِ؟ BSB BSB: In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people Israel, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
8 GLT وَٱلْآنَ فَهَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِعَبْدِي دَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: أَنَا أَخَذْتُكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْبَضِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْغَنَمِ لِتَكُونَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. BSB BSB: Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.
9 GLT وَكُنْتُ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتَ، وَقَرَضْتُ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ، وَعَمِلْتُ لَكَ ٱسْمًا عَظِيمًا كَٱسْمِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. BSB BSB: I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like that of the greatest in the land.
10 GLT وَعَيَّنْتُ مَكَانًا لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَغَرَسْتُهُ، فَسَكَنَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، وَلَا يَضْطَرِبُ بَعْدُ، وَلَا يَعُودُ بَنُو ٱلْإِثْمِ يُذَلِّلُونَهُ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ، BSB BSB: And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning
11 GLT وَمُنْذُ يَوْمَ أَقَمْتُ فِيهِ قُضَاةً عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَقَدْ أَرَحْتُكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكَ. وَٱلرَّبُّ يُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَصْنَعُ لَكَ بَيْتًا. BSB BSB: and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies. The LORD declares to you that He Himself will establish a house for you.
13 GLT هُوَ يَبْنِي بَيْتًا لِٱسْمِي، وَأَنَا أُثَبِّتُ كُرْسِيَّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. BSB BSB: He will build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 GLT أَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُ أَبًا وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لِيَ ٱبْنًا. إِنْ تَعَوَّجَ أُؤَدِّبْهُ بِقَضِيبِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَبِضَرَبَاتِ بَنِي آدَمَ. BSB BSB: I will be his Father, and he will be My son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.
15 GLT وَلَكِنَّ رَحْمَتِي لَا تُنْزَعُ مِنْهُ كَمَا نَزَعْتُهَا مِنْ شَاوُلَ ٱلَّذِي أَزَلْتُهُ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. BSB BSB: But My loving devotion will never be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
17 GLT فَحَسَبَ جَمِيعِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ وَحَسَبَ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا كَذَلِكَ كَلَّمَ نَاثَانُ دَاوُدَ. BSB BSB: So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire revelation.
18 GLT فَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَجَلَسَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ:«مَنْ أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ؟ وَمَا هُوَ بَيْتِي حَتَّى أَوْصَلْتَنِي إِلَى هَهُنَا؟ BSB BSB: Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
19 GLT وَقَلَّ هَذَا أَيْضًا فِي عَيْنَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ، فَتَكَلَّمْتَ أَيْضًا مِنْ جِهَةِ بَيْتِ عَبْدِكَ إِلَى زَمَانٍ طَوِيلٍ، وَهَذِهِ عَادَةُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ يَاسَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ. BSB BSB: And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord GOD, You have also spoken about the future of the house of Your servant. Is this Your custom with man, O Lord GOD?
20 GLT وَبِمَاذَا يَعُودُ دَاوُدُ يُكَلِّمُكَ وَأَنْتَ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ عَبْدَكَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ؟ BSB BSB: What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.
21 GLT فَمِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَتِكَ وَحَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ فَعَلْتَ هَذِهِ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ كُلَّهَا لِتُعَرِّفَ عَبْدَكَ. BSB BSB: For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.
22 GLT لِذَلِكَ قَدْ عَظُمْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِثْلُكَ وَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرَكَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا سَمِعْنَاهُ بِآذَانِنَا. BSB BSB: How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
23 GLT وَأَيَّةُ أُمَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِثْلُ شَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي سَارَ ٱللهُ لِيَفْتَدِيَهُ لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْبًا، وَيَجْعَلَ لَهُ ٱسْمًا، وَيَعْمَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ وَٱلتَّخَاوِيفَ لِأَرْضِكَ أَمَامَ شَعْبِكَ ٱلَّذِي ٱفْتَدَيْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَآلِهَتِهِمْ. BSB BSB: And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself and to make a name for Himself? You performed great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt.
24 GLT وَثَبَّتَّ لِنَفْسِكَ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، شَعْبًا لِنَفْسِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ صِرْتَ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا. BSB BSB: For You have established Your people Israel as Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
25 GLT وَٱلْآنَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ أَقِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ وَعَنْ بَيْتِهِ، وَٱفْعَلْ كَمَا نَطَقْتَ. BSB BSB: And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house. Do as You have promised,
26 GLT وَلْيَتَعَظَّمِ ٱسْمُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، فَيُقَالَ: رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلْيَكُنْ بَيْتُ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ ثَابِتًا أَمَامَكَ. BSB BSB: so that Your name will be magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel.’ And the house of Your servant David will be established before You.
27 GLT لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَعْلَنْتَ لِعَبْدِكَ قَائِلًا: إِنِّي أَبْنِي لَكَ بَيْتًا، لِذَلِكَ وَجَدَ عَبْدُكَ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ لَكَ هَذِهِ ٱلصَّلَاةَ. BSB BSB: For You, O LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant when You said, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Therefore Your servant has found the courage to offer this prayer to You.
28 GLT وَٱلْآنَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱللهُ وَكَلَامُكَ هُوَ حَقٌّ، وَقَدْ كَلَّمْتَ عَبْدَكَ بِهَذَا ٱلْخَيْرِ. BSB BSB: And now, O Lord GOD, You are God! Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
29 GLT فَٱلْآنَ ٱرْتَضِ وَبَارِكْ بَيْتَ عَبْدِكَ لِيَكُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ أَمَامَكَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ. فَلْيُبَارَكْ بَيْتُ عَبْدِكَ بِبَرَكَتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». BSB BSB: Now therefore, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord GOD, have spoken, and with Your blessing the house of Your servant will be blessed forever.”
