2 Samuel 7
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014

David doreşte să zidească o casă lui Dumnezeu

7 Când(A) a locuit împăratul în casa lui şi când i-a dat odihnă Domnul, după ce l-a izbăvit de toţi vrăjmaşii care-l înconjurau, 2 a zis prorocului Natan: „Iată! Eu locuiesc într-o casă(B) de cedru, şi(C) chivotul lui Dumnezeu locuieşte într-un(D) cort.” 3 Natan a răspuns împăratului: „Du-te şi fă tot ce ai în inimă(E), căci Domnul este cu tine.” 4 În noaptea următoare, Cuvântul Domnului a vorbit lui Natan: 5 „Du-te şi spune robului meu David: ‘Aşa vorbeşte Domnul: «Oare tu Îmi vei(F) zidi o casă ca să locuiesc în ea? 6 Dar Eu n-am locuit într-o casă din(G) ziua când am scos pe copiii lui Israel din Egipt până în ziua aceasta, ci am călătorit într-un cort(H) drept locuinţă. 7 Pretutindeni pe unde am mers(I) cu toţi copiii lui Israel, am spus Eu oare vreo vorbă vreuneia din seminţiile lui Israel, căreia îi poruncisem să pască(J) pe poporul Meu, Israel, zicând: Pentru ce nu-Mi zidiţi o casă de cedru?»’ 8 Acum să spui robului Meu David: ‘Aşa vorbeşte Domnul oştirilor: «Te-am luat(K) de la păşune, de la oi, ca să fii căpetenie peste poporul Meu, peste Israel; 9 am fost(L) cu tine pretutindeni pe unde ai mers, am nimicit pe toţi vrăjmaşii(M) tăi dinaintea ta şi ţi-am făcut numele mare(N), ca numele celor mari de pe pământ; 10 am dat un loc poporului Meu, lui Israel, şi l-am sădit(O) ca să locuiască în el şi să nu mai fie tulburat, ca să nu-l mai apese cei răi(P) ca mai înainte 11 şi ca pe vremea când(Q) pusesem judecători peste poporul Meu, Israel. Ţi-am dat odihnă(R) izbăvindu-te de toţi vrăjmaşii tăi. Şi Domnul îţi vesteşte că-ţi(S) va zidi o casă. 12 Când(T) ţi se vor împlini zilele şi vei fi culcat(U) cu părinţii tăi, Eu îţi voi ridica(V) un urmaş după tine, care va ieşi din trupul tău, şi-i voi întări împărăţia. 13 El(W) va zidi Numelui Meu o casă şi voi(X) întări pe vecie scaunul de domnie al împărăţiei lui. 14 Eu(Y) îi voi fi Tată şi el Îmi va fi fiu. Dacă va face răul(Z), îl voi pedepsi cu o nuia omenească şi cu lovituri omeneşti; 15 dar harul Meu nu se va depărta de la el, cum(AA) l-am depărtat de la Saul, pe care l-am îndepărtat dinaintea ta. 16 Ci casa ta şi împărăţia ta vor dăinui(AB) veşnic înaintea Mea şi scaunul tău de domnie va fi întărit pe vecie».’ ”

Rugăciunea lui David

17 Natan a spus lui David toate aceste cuvinte şi toată vedenia aceasta. 18 Şi împăratul David s-a dus şi s-a înfăţişat înaintea Domnului şi a zis: „Cine(AC) sunt eu, Doamne, Dumnezeule, şi ce este casa mea, de m-ai făcut să ajung unde sunt? 19 Şi încă atât este puţin înaintea Ta, Doamne, Dumnezeule! Tu vorbeşti despre(AD) casa robului Tău şi în viitor. Şi binevoieşti să înveţi(AE) pe un om cu privire la aceste lucruri, Doamne, Dumnezeule! 20 Ce Ţi-ar putea spune David mai mult? Tu cunoşti(AF) pe robul Tău, Doamne, Dumnezeule! 21 După cuvântul Tău şi după inima Ta, Tu ai făcut toate aceste lucruri mari, ca să le descoperi robului Tău! 22 Ce mare(AG) eşti Tu, Doamne, Dumnezeule! Căci nimeni(AH) nu este ca Tine şi nu este alt Dumnezeu afară de Tine, după tot ce am auzit cu urechile noastre. 23 Este oare pe pământ un singur neam(AI) care să fie ca poporul Tău, ca Israel, pe care a venit să-l răscumpere Dumnezeu, ca să facă din el poporul Lui, ca să-Şi facă un Nume şi ca să facă pentru el, pentru ţara Ta, minuni şi semne, izgonind dinaintea poporului(AJ) Tău, pe care l-ai răscumpărat din Egipt, neamuri şi pe dumnezeii lor? 24 Tu ai întărit(AK) pe poporul Tău, Israel, ca să fie poporul Tău pe vecie, şi Tu(AL), Doamne, Te-ai făcut Dumnezeul lui. 25 Acum, Doamne, Dumnezeule, fă să rămână în veci cuvântul pe care l-ai rostit asupra robului Tău şi asupra casei lui şi lucrează după cuvântul Tău. 26 Slăvit să fie Numele Tău pe vecie şi să se zică: ‘Domnul oştirilor este Dumnezeul lui Israel. Şi casa robului Tău David să rămână înaintea Ta!’ 27 Căci Tu Însuţi, Doamne al oştirilor, Dumnezeul lui Israel, Te-ai descoperit robului Tău zicând: ‘Eu îţi voi întemeia o casă!’ De aceea a îndrăznit robul Tău să-Ţi facă această rugăciune. 28 Acum, Doamne, Dumnezeule, Tu eşti Dumnezeu şi cuvintele(AM) Tale sunt adevăr şi Tu ai vestit harul acesta robului Tău. 29 Binecuvântează dar casa robului Tău, ca să dăinuiască pe vecie înaintea Ta! Căci Tu, Doamne, Dumnezeule, ai vorbit şi, prin binecuvântarea Ta, casa robului Tău va fi binecuvântată pe(AN) vecie”.

English Standard Version

The Lord's Covenant with David

7 (A)Now when the king lived in his house and the Lord (B)had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies, 2 the king said to (C)Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell (D)in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells (E)in a tent.” 3 And Nathan said to the king, (F)“Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.”

4 But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, 5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: (G)Would you build me a house to dwell in? 6 I have not lived in a house (H)since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about (I)in a tent for my dwelling. 7 In all places where (J)I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with (K)any of the judges[a] of Israel, whom I commanded (L)to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’ 8 Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, (M)I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince[b] over my people Israel. 9 (N)And I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel (O)and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place (P)and be disturbed no more. (Q)And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, 11 (R)from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And (S)I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that (T)the Lord will make you a house. 12 (U)When your days are fulfilled and (V)you lie down with your fathers, (W)I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body,[c] and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (X)He shall build a house for my name, and (Y)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (Z)I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, (AA)I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 (AB)but my steadfast love will not depart from him, (AC)as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 (AD)And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.[d] (AE)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, (AF)“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. (AG)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? (AH)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 (AI)Therefore you are great, O Lord God. (AJ)For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23 (AK)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 (AL)and doing for them[e] great and awesome things by driving out before your people,[f] whom (AM)you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods? 24 (AN)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 (AO)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, (AP)and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.”

God’s Covenant with David(A)

7 Now it came to pass (B)when the king was dwelling in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies all around, 2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in (C)a house of cedar, (D)but the ark of God dwells inside tent (E)curtains.”

3 Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your (F)heart, for the Lord is with you.”

4 But it happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, 5 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: (G)“Would you build a house for Me to dwell in? 6 For I have not dwelt in a house (H)since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in (I)a tent and in a tabernacle. 7 Wherever I have (J)moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded (K)to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’ 8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: (L)“I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel. 9 And (M)I have been with you wherever you have gone, (N)and have [a]cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will (O)plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; (P)nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 11 (Q)since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord [b]tells you (R)that He will make you a [c]house.

12 (S)“When your days are fulfilled and you (T)rest with your fathers, (U)I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (V)He shall build a house for My name, and I will (W)establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (X)I will be his Father, and he shall be (Y)My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the [d]blows of the sons of men. 15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, (Z)as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And (AA)your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before [e]you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”

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

David’s Thanksgiving to God(AB)

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: (AC)“Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? 19 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. (AD)Is this the manner of man, O Lord God? 20 Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God, (AE)know Your servant. 21 For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them. 22 Therefore (AF)You are great, [f]O Lord God. For (AG)there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our (AH)ears. 23 And who is like Your people, like Israel, (AI)the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before (AJ)Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods? 24 For (AK)You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; (AL)and You, Lord, have become their God.

25 “Now, O Lord God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said. 26 So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You. 27 For You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You.

28 “And now, O Lord God, You are God, and (AM)Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant. 29 Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed (AN)forever.”
