1 Chronicles 17

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 It happened, once David had settled into his palace, that David said to the prophet Nathan, 'Here am Iliving in a cedar-wood palace, while the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is under awnings.'	1 και εγενετο ως κατωκησεν δαυιδ εν οικω αυτου και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ναθαν τον προφητην ιδου εγω κατοικω εν οικω κεδρινω και η κιβωτος διαθηκης κυριου υποκατω δερρεων
2 Nathan said to David, 'Do whatever you have in mind, for God is with you.'	2 και ειπεν ναθαν προς δαυιδ παν το εν τη ψυχη σου ποιει οτι ο θεος μετα σου
3 But that very night the word of God came to Nathan, as fol ows:	3 και εγενετο εν τη νυκτι εκεινη και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς ναθαν λεγων
4 'Go and tell my servant David, "Yahweh says this: You must not build a temple for me to live in.	4 πορευου και ειπον προς δαυιδ τον παιδα μου ουτως ειπεν κυριος ου συ οικοδομησεις μοι οικον του κατοικησαι με εν αυτω
5 I have never lived in a house from the day when I brought Israel out until today, but have kepttravel ing from tent to tent and from shelter to shelter.	5 οτι ου κατωκησα εν οικω απο της ημερας ης ανηγαγον τον ισραηλ εως της ημερας ταυτης και ημην εν σκηνη και εν καταλυματι
6 In al my travels with al Israel, did I say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I had commanded toshepherd my people: Why do you not build me a cedar-wood temple?	6 εν πασιν οις διηλθον εν παντι ισραηλ ει λαλων ελαλησα προς μιαν φυλην ισραηλ του ποιμαινειν τον λαον μου λεγων οτι ουκ ωκοδομηκατε μοι οικον κεδρινον
7 This is what you must say to my servant David: Yahweh Sabaoth says this: I took you from thepasture, from following the sheep, to be leader of my people Israel.	7 και νυν ουτως ερεις τω δουλω μου δαυιδ ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ελαβον σε εκ της μανδρας εξοπισθεν των ποιμνιων του ειναι εις ηγουμενον επι τον λαον μου ισραηλ
8 I have been with you wherever you went; I have got rid of al your enemies for you. I am going to makeyour fame like that of the greatest men on earth.	8 και ημην μετα σου εν πασιν οις επορευθης και εξωλεθρευσα παντας τους εχθρους σου απο προσωπου σου και εποιησα σοι ονομα κατα το ονομα των μεγαλων των επι της γης
9 I am going to provide a place for my people Israel; I shal plant them there and there they will live andnever be disturbed again; nor wil they be oppressed by the wicked as they were in former times	9 και θησομαι τοπον τω λαω μου ισραηλ και καταφυτευσω αυτον και κατασκηνωσει καθ' εαυτον και ου μεριμνησει ετι και ου προσθησει αδικια του ταπεινωσαι αυτον καθως απ' αρχης
10 ever since I instituted judges to govern my people Israel; I shall subdue al your enemies. Yahwehmoreover tel s you that he wil build you a dynasty.	10 και αφ' ημερων ων εταξα κριτας επι τον λαον μου ισραηλ και εταπεινωσα απαντας τους εχθρους σου και αυξησω σε και οικον οικοδομησει σοι κυριος
11 And when your days are over and you have gone to join your ancestors, I shall appoint your heir --who wil be one of your sons -- to succeed you, and I shall make his sovereignty secure.	11 και εσται οταν πληρωθωσιν αι ημεραι σου και κοιμηθηση μετα των πατερων σου και αναστησω το σπερμα σου μετα σε ος εσται εκ της κοιλιας σου και ετοιμασω την βασιλειαν αυτου
12 He wil build a temple for me and I shal make his throne secure for ever.	12 αυτος οικοδομησει μοι οικον και ανορθωσω τον θρονον αυτου εως αιωνος
13 I shal be his father and he wil be my son, and I shal not withdraw my favour from him, as I withdrewit from your predecessor.	13 εγω εσομαι αυτω εις πατερα και αυτος εσται μοι εις υιον και το ελεος μου ουκ αποστησω απ' αυτου ως απεστησα απο των οντων εμπροσθεν σου
14 I shal set him over my temple and kingdom for ever and his throne wil be for ever secure." '	14 και πιστωσω αυτον εν οικω μου και εν βασιλεια αυτου εως αιωνος και ο θρονος αυτου εσται ανωρθωμενος εως αιωνος
15 Nathan related al these words and this whole revelation to David.	15 κατα παντας τους λογους τουτους και κατα πασαν την ορασιν ταυτην ουτως ελαλησεν ναθαν προς δαυιδ
16 King David then went in, sat down in Yahweh's presence and said: 'Who am I, Yahweh God, andwhat is my lineage, that you have led me as far as this?	16 και ηλθεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ και εκαθισεν απεναντι κυριου και ειπεν τις ειμι εγω κυριε ο θεος και τις ο οικος μου οτι ηγαπησας με εως αιωνος
17 Yet, to you, O God, this seemed too little, and now you extend your promises for your servant'sfamily into the distant future, making me see as it were a whole succession of men, and it is Yahweh Godhimself who raises it up.	17 και εσμικρυνθη ταυτα ενωπιον σου ο θεος και ελαλησας επι τον οικον του παιδος σου εκ μακρων και επειδες με ως ορασις ανθρωπου και υψωσας με κυριε ο θεος
18 What more can David reply to you for the honour you have given to your servant? You yourself havesingled out your servant.	18 τι προσθησει ετι δαυιδ προς σε του δοξασαι και συ τον δουλον σου οιδας
19 For your servant, and since you were so inclined, you have had the generosity to reveal al thisgreatness to come.	19 και κατα την καρδιαν σου εποιησας την πασαν μεγαλωσυνην
20 Yahweh, there is no one like you, no God but you alone, as everything that we have heard confirms.	20 κυριε ουκ εστιν ομοιος σοι και ουκ εστιν πλην σου κατα παντα οσα ηκουσαμεν εν ωσιν ημων
21 Is there another people on earth like your people Israel, whom a god has proceeded to redeem, tomake them his people and to make them famous and do for them great and terrible deeds, by driving out nationsbefore your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? -	21 και ουκ εστιν ως ο λαος σου ισραηλ εθνος ετι επι της γης ως ωδηγησεν αυτον ο θεος του λυτρωσασθαι εαυτω λαον του θεσθαι εαυτω ονομα μεγα και επιφανες του εκβαλειν απο προσωπου λαου σου ους ελυτρωσω εξ αιγυπτου εθνη
22 for you made your people Israel your own people for ever and you, Yahweh, became their God.	22 και εδωκας τον λαον σου ισραηλ σεαυτω λαον εως αιωνος και συ κυριε αυτοις εις θεον
23 'Now, Yahweh, may the promise which you have made for your servant and as regards his familyhold good for ever, and do as you have said.	23 και νυν κυριε ο λογος σου ον ελαλησας προς τον παιδα σου και επι τον οικον αυτου πιστωθητω εως αιωνος
24 May it hold good, so your name wil be exalted for ever and people wil say, "Israel's God is YahwehSabaoth; he is God for Israel." Your servant David's dynasty will be secure before you	24 λεγοντων κυριε κυριε παντοκρατωρ θεος ισραηλ και ο οικος δαυιδ παιδος σου ανωρθωμενος εναντιον σου
25 since you, my God, have disclosed to your servant that you are going to build him a dynasty. Hence,your servant has ventured to offer this prayer to you.	25 οτι συ κυριε ηνοιξας το ους του παιδος σου του οικοδομησαι αυτω οικον δια τουτο ευρεν ο παις σου του προσευξασθαι κατα προσωπον σου
26 Yes, Yahweh, you are God indeed, and you have made this generous promise to your servant.	26 και νυν κυριε συ ει αυτος ο θεος και ελαλησας επι τον δουλον σου τα αγαθα ταυτα
27 What is more, you have deigned to bless your servant's dynasty, so that it may remain for everbefore you; and since you, Yahweh, have blessed it, blessed will it be for ever.'	27 και νυν ηρξω του ευλογησαι τον οικον του παιδος σου του ειναι εις τον αιωνα εναντιον σου οτι συ κυριε ευλογησας και ευλογησον εις τον αιωνα
