ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β´ - 2 Samuele - Kings II 7

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Αφου δε εκαθησεν ο βασιλευς εν τω οικω αυτου και ανεπαυσεν αυτον ο Κυριος πανταχοθεν απο παντων των εχθρων αυτου?	1 Now it happened that, when the king had settled in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,
2 ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς Ναθαν τον προφητην, Ιδε τωρα, εγω κατοικω εν οικω κεδρινω? η δε κιβωτος του Θεου καθηται εν μεσω παραπετασματων.	2 he said to the prophet Nathan, “Do you not see that I live in a house of cedar, and that the ark of God has been placed in the midst of tent skins?”
3 Και ειπεν ο Ναθαν προς τον βασιλεα, Υπαγε, καμε παν το εν καρδια σου? διοτι ο Κυριος ειναι μετα σου.	3 And Nathan said to the king: “Go, do all that is in your heart. For the Lord is with you.”
4 Και την νυκτα εκεινην εγεινε λογος του Κυριου προς τον Ναθαν, λεγων,	4 But it happened in that night, behold, the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:
5 Υπαγε και ειπε προς τον δουλον μου τον Δαβιδ, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? συ θελεις οικοδομησει εις εμε οικον, δια να κατοικω;	5 “Go, and say to my servant David: ‘Thus says the Lord: Should you build a house for me as a dwelling place?
6 Διοτι δεν κατωκησα εν οικω, αφ' ης ημερας ανεβιβασα τους υιους Ισραηλ εξ Αιγυπτου μεχρι της ημερας ταυτης, αλλα περιηρχομην εντος σκηνης και παραπετασματων.	6 For I have not lived in a house from the day that I led the sons of Israel away from the land of Egypt, even to this day. Instead, I have walked in a tabernacle, and in a tent.
7 Πανταχου οπου περιεπατησα μετα παντων των υιων Ισραηλ, ελαλησα ποτε προς τινα εκ των φυλων του Ισραηλ, εις τον οποιον προσεταξα να ποιμαινη τον λαον μου τον Ισραηλ, λεγων, Δια τι δεν ωκοδομησατε εις εμε οικον κεδρινον;	7 And in all the places that I have crossed through, with all the sons of Israel, did I ever speak a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I instructed to pasture my people Israel, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’
8 Τωρα λοιπον, ουτω θελεις ειπει προς τον δουλον μου τον Δαβιδ? Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? Εγω σε ελαβον εκ της μανδρας, απο οπισθεν των προβατων, δια να ησαι ηγεμων επι τον λαον μου, επι τον Ισραηλ?	8 And now, so shall you speak to my servant David: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pastures, from following the sheep, so that you would be the leader over my people Israel.
9 και ημην μετα σου πανταχου οπου περιεπατησας, και εξωλοθρευσα παντας τους εχθρους σου απ' εμπροσθεν σου, και σε εκαμον ονομαστον, κατα το ονομα των μεγαλων των επι της γης?	9 And I have been with you everywhere that you walked. And I have slain all your enemies before your face. And I have made you a great name, beside the name of the great ones who are upon the earth.
10 και θελω διορισει τοπον δια τον λαον μου τον Ισραηλ και θελω φυτευσει αυτους, και θελουσι κατοικει εν τοπω ιδιω εαυτων και δεν θελουσι μεταφερεσθαι πλεον? και οι υιοι της αδικιας δεν θελουσι καταθλιβει αυτους πλεον ως το προτερον,	10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them, and they shall live there, and they shall no longer be disturbed. Neither shall the sons of iniquity continue to afflict them as before,
11 και ως απο των ημερων καθ' ας κατεστησα κριτας επι τον λαον μου Ισραηλ? και θελω σε αναπαυσει απο παντων των εχθρων σου. Ο Κυριος προσετι αναγγελλει προς σε οτι ο Κυριος θελει οικοδομησει οικον εις σε.	11 from the day when I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give rest to you from all your enemies. And the Lord foretells to you that the Lord himself will make a house for you.
12 Αφου πληρωθωσιν αι ημεραι σου και κοιμηθης μετα των πατερων σου, θελω αναστησει μετα σε το σπερμα σου, το οποιον θελει εξελθει εκ των σπλαγχνων σου, και θελω στερεωσει την βασιλειαν αυτου.	12 And when your days will have been fulfilled, and you will sleep with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will go forth from your loins, and I will make firm his kingdom.
13 αυτος θελει οικοδομησει οικον εις το ονομα μου? και θελω στερεωσει τον θρονον της βασιλειας αυτου εως αιωνος?	13 He himself shall build a house to my name. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom, even forever.
14 εγω θελω εισθαι εις αυτον πατηρ και αυτος θελει εισθαι εις εμε υιος? εαν πραξη ανομιαν, θελω σωφρονισει αυτον εν ραβδω ανδρων και δια μαστιγωσεων υιων ανθρωπων?	14 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And if he will commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and with the wounds of the sons of men.
15 το ελεος μου ομως δεν θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου, ως αφηρεσα αυτο απο του Σαουλ, τον οποιον εξεβαλον απ' εμπροσθεν σου?	15 But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before my face.
16 και θελει στερεωθη ο οικος σου και η βασιλεια σου εμπροσθεν σου εως αιωνος? ο θρονος σου θελει εισθαι εστερεωμενος εις τον αιωνα.	16 And your house shall be faithful, and your kingdom shall be before your face, for eternity, and your throne shall be secure continuously.’ ”
17 Κατα παντας τους λογους τουτους και καθ' ολην ταυτην την ορασιν, ουτως ελαλησεν ο Ναθαν προς τον Δαβιδ.	17 According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
18 Τοτε εισηλθεν ο βασιλευς Δαβιδ και εκαθησεν ενωπιον του Κυριου και ειπε, Τις ειμαι εγω, Κυριε Θεε; και τις ο οικος μου, ωστε με εφερες μεχρι τουτου.	18 Then king David entered and sat before the Lord, and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would bring me to this point?
19 Αλλα και τουτο ετι εσταθη μικρον εις τους οφθαλμους σου, Κυριε Θεε? και ελαλησας ετι περι του οικου του δουλου σου δια μελλον μακρον. Και ειναι ουτος ο τροπος των ανθρωπων, Δεσποτα Κυριε;	19 Moreover, this has seemed little in your sight, O Lord God, unless you also will speak about the house of your servant for a long time. For this is the law of Adam, O Lord God.
20 Και τι δυναται να ειπη πλεον ο Δαβιδ προς σε; διοτι συ γνωριζεις τον δουλον σου, Δεσποτα Κυριε.	20 Therefore, what more will David be able to say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord God.
21 Δια τον λογον σου και κατα την καρδιαν σου επραξας παντα ταυτα τα μεγαλεια, δια να γνωστοποιησης αυτα εις τον δουλον σου.	21 Because of your word, and according to your own heart, you have done all these great deeds, so that you would make it known to your servant.
22 Δια τουτο μεγας εισαι, Κυριε Θεε? διοτι δεν ειναι ομοιος σου? ουδε ειναι Θεος εκτος σου, κατα παντα οσα ηκουσαμεν με τα ωτα ημων.	22 For this reason, you are magnified, O Lord God. For there is no one like you. And there is no God except you, in all the things that we have heard with our own ears.
23 Και τι αλλο εθνος επι της γης ειναι ως ο λαος σου, ως ο Ισραηλ, τον οποιον ο Θεος ηλθε να εξαγοραση δια λαον εαυτου και δια να καμη αυτον ονομαστον, και να ενεργηση υπερ υμων πραγματα μεγαλα και θαυμαστα, υπερ της γης σου, εμπροσθεν του λαου σου, τον οποιον ελυτρωσας δια σεαυτον εξ Αιγυπτου, εκ των εθνων και εκ των θεων αυτων;	23 But what nation is there upon the earth like your people Israel, because of whom God went forth, so that he might redeem a people for himself, and establish a name for himself, and accomplish for them great and terrible things upon the earth, before the face of your people, whom you redeemed for yourself away Egypt, the nations and their gods.
24 Διοτι εστερεωσας εις σεαυτον τον λαον σου Ισραηλ, δια να ηναι λαος σου εις τον αιωνα? και συ, Κυριε, εγεινες Θεος αυτων.	24 For you have secured your people Israel for yourself, as an everlasting people. And you, O Lord God, have become their God.
25 και τωρα, Κυριε Θεε, τον λογον τον οποιον ελαλησας περι του δουλου σου και περι του οικου αυτου ας στερεωθη ας τον αιωνα, και καμε ως ελαλησας.	25 Now therefore, O Lord God, raise up forever the word that you have spoken over your servant and over his house. And do just as you have said,
26 Και ας μεγαλυνθη το ονομα σου εως αιωνος, ωστε να λεγωσιν, Ο Κυριος των δυναμεων ειναι ο Θεος επι τον Ισραηλ? και ο οικος του δουλου σου Δαβιδ ας ηναι εστερεωμενος ενωπιον σου.	26 so that your name may be magnified even forever, and so that it may be said: ‘The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel.’ And the house of your servant David will be established in the sight of the Lord.
27 Διοτι συ, Κυριε των δυναμεων, Θεε του Ισραηλ, απεκαλυψας εις τον δουλον σου, λεγων, Οικον θελω οικοδομησει εις σε? δια τουτο ο δουλος σου ευρηκε την καρδιαν αυτου ετοιμην να προσευχηθη προς σε την προσευχην ταυτην.	27 For you, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed to the ear of your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Because of this, your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
28 Και τωρα, Δεσποτα Κυριε, συ εισαι ο Θεος, και οι λογοι σου θελουσιν εισθαι αληθινοι, και συ υπεσχεθης τα αγαθα ταυτα προς τον δουλον σου?	28 Now therefore, O Lord God, you are God, and your words shall be true. For you have spoken to your servant these good things.
29 τωρα λοιπον ευδοκησον να ευλογησης τον οικον του δουλου σου, δια να ηναι ενωπιον σου εις τον αιωνα? διοτι συ, Δεσποτα Κυριε, ελαλησας? και υπο της ευλογιας σου ας ηναι ο οικος του δουλου σου ευλογημενος εις τον αιωνα.	29 Therefore, begin, and bless the house of your servant, so that it may be forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken. And so, let the house of your servant be blessed with your blessing forever.”
