1 Chronicles 17

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 After David had taken up residence in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, "See, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD dwells under tentcloth."	1 Cum autem habitaret David in domo sua, dixit ad Nathan prophetam: “ Ecce ego habito in domo cedrina, arca autem foederis Domini sub pellibus est ”.
2 Nathan replied to David, "Do, therefore, whatever you desire, for God is with you."	2 Et ait Nathan ad David: “ Omnia, quae in corde tuo sunt, fac; Deus enim tecum est ”.
3 But that same night the word of God came to Nathan:	3 Igitur nocte illa factus est sermo Dei ad Nathan dicens:
4 "Go and tell my servant David, Thus says the LORD: It is not you who are to build a house for me to dwell in.	4 “ Vade et loquere David servo meo: Haec dicit Dominus: Non aedificabis tu mihi domum ad habitandum;
5 For I have never dwelt in a house, from the time when I led Israel onward, even to this day, but I have been lodging in tent or pavilion	5 neque enim mansi in domo ex eo tempore, quo eduxi Israel usque ad hanc diem, sed fui semper migrans de tabernaculo in tabernaculum et de habitatione in habitationem.
6 as long as I have wandered about with all of Israel. Did I ever say a word to any of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to guide my people, such as, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'	6 Ubicumque ambulabam in omni Israel, numquid locutus sum uni iudicum Israel, quibus praeceperam, ut pascerent populum meum, et dixi: Quare non aedificastis mihi domum cedrinam?
7 Therefore, tell my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you might become ruler over my people Israel.	7 Nunc itaque, sic loqueris ad servum meum David: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ego tuli te, cum in pascuis sequereris gregem, ut esses dux populi mei Israel;
8 I was with you wherever you went, and I cut down all your enemies before you. I will make your name great like that of the greatest on the earth.	8 et fui tecum, quocumque perrexisti, et interfeci omnes inimicos tuos coram te fecique tibi nomen quasi unius magnorum, qui celebrantur in terra.
9 I will assign a place for my people Israel and I will plant them in it to dwell there henceforth undisturbed; nor shall wicked men ever again oppress them, as they did at first,	9 Et dedi locum populo meo Israel et plantavi eum, ut habitaret in eo, et ultra non commovebitur, nec filii iniquitatis atterent eos sicut in principio
10 and during all the time when I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that I, the LORD, will build you a house;	10 et ex diebus, quibus dedi iudices populo meo Israel et humiliavi universos inimicos tuos. Annuntio ergo tibi quod aedificaturus sit domum tibi Dominus.
11 so that when your days have been completed and you must join your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you who will be one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.	11 Cumque impleveris dies tuos, ut vadas ad patres tuos, suscitabo semen tuum post te, quod erit de filiis tuis, et stabiliam regnum eius.
12 He it is who shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.	12 Ipse aedificabit mihi domum, et firmabo solium eius usque in aeternum.
13 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me, and I will not withdraw my favor from him as I withdrew it from him who preceded you;	13 Ego ero ei in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium; et misericordiam meam non auferam ab eo, sicut abstuli ab eo, qui ante te fuit.
14 but I will maintain him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne shall be firmly established forever."	14 Et statuam eum in domo mea et in regno meo usque in sempiternum, et thronus eius erit firmissimus in perpetuum ”.
15 All these words and this whole vision Nathan related exactly to David.	15 Iuxta omnia verba haec et iuxta universam visionem istam, sic locutus est Nathan ad David.
16 Then David came in and sat in the LORD'S presence, saying: "Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my family, that you should have brought me as far as I have come?	16 Cumque venisset rex David et sedisset coram Domino, dixit: “ Quis ego sum, Domine Deus, et quae domus mea, quia adduxisti me hucusque?
17 And yet, even this you now consider too little, O God! For you have made a promise regarding your servant's family reaching into the distant future, and you have looked on me as henceforth the most notable of men, O LORD God.	17 Sed hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo, Deus; ideoque locutus es super domum servi tui etiam in futurum et aspexisti me excelsum super ordinem hominum, Domine Deus.
18 What more can David say to you? You know your servant.	18 Quid ultra addere potest David, cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum et cognoveris eum?
19 O LORD, for your servant's sake and in keeping with your purpose, you have done this great thing.	19 Domine, propter famulum tuum iuxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc; et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia.
20 O LORD, there is no one like you and there is no God but you, just as we have always understood.	20 Domine, non est similis tui, et non est alius deus absque te secundum omnia, quae audivimus auribus nostris.
21 "Is there, like your people Israel, whom you redeemed from Egypt, another nation on earth whom a god went to redeem as his people? You won for yourself a name for great and awesome deeds by driving out the nations before your people.	21 Quis autem est alius ut populus tuus Israel, gens una in terra, ad quam perrexit Deus, ut liberaret sibi populum, ut faceres tibi nomen magnum et terribile eiciens nationes a facie populi tui, quem de Aegypto liberasti?
22 You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, O LORD, became their God.	22 Et posuisti populum tuum Israel tibi in populum usque in aeternum; et tu, Domine, factus es Deus eius.
23 Therefore, O LORD, may the promise that you have uttered concerning your servant and his house remain firm forever. Bring about what you have promised,	23 Nunc igitur, Domine, sermo, quem locutus es super famulum tuum et super domum eius, confirmetur in perpetuum; et fac, sicut locutus es.
24 that your renown as LORD of hosts, God of Israel, may be great and abide forever, while the house of David, your servant, is established in your presence.	24 Permaneatque et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum, et dicatur: “Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel, est Deus pro Israel, et domus David servi tui permanens coram te”.
25 "Because you, O my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house, your servant has made bold to pray before you.	25 Tu enim, Deus meus, revelasti auriculam servi tui, ut aedificares ei domum; et idcirco invenit servus tuus fiduciam, ut oret coram te.
26 Since you, O LORD, are truly God and have promised this good thing to your servant,	26 Nunc ergo, Domine, tu es Deus; et locutus es super servum tuum tanta beneficia
27 and since you have deigned to bless the house of your servant, so that it will remain forever--since it is you, O LORD, who blessed it, it is blessed forever."	27 et coepisti benedicere domui servi tui, ut sit semper coram te: te enim, Domine, benedicente, benedicta erit in perpetuum ”.
