LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 και εγενετο οτε εκαθισεν ο βασιλευς εν τω οικω αυτου και κυριος κατεκληρονομησεν αυτον κυκλω απο παντων των εχθρων αυτου των κυκλω	1 Once the king had settled into his palace and Yahweh had granted him rest from al the enemiessurrounding him,
2 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς ναθαν τον προφητην ιδου δη εγω κατοικω εν οικω κεδρινω και η κιβωτος του θεου καθηται εν μεσω της σκηνης	2 the king said to the prophet Nathan, 'Look, I am living in a cedar-wood palace, while the ark of God isunder awnings.'
3 και ειπεν ναθαν προς τον βασιλεα παντα οσα αν εν τη καρδια σου βαδιζε και ποιει οτι κυριος μετα σου	3 Nathan said to the king, 'Go and do whatever you have in mind, for Yahweh is with you.'
4 και εγενετο τη νυκτι εκεινη και εγενετο ρημα κυριου προς ναθαν λεγων	4 But that very night, the word of Yahweh came to Nathan:
5 πορευου και ειπον προς τον δουλον μου δαυιδ ταδε λεγει κυριος ου συ οικοδομησεις μοι οικον του κατοικησαι με	5 'Go and tell my servant David, "Yahweh says this: Are you to build me a temple for me to live in?
6 οτι ου κατωκηκα εν οικω αφ' ης ημερας ανηγαγον εξ αιγυπτου τους υιους ισραηλ εως της ημερας ταυτης και ημην εμπεριπατων εν καταλυματι και εν σκηνη	6 I have never lived in a house from the day when I brought the Israelites out of Egypt until today, buthave kept travel ing with a tent for shelter.
7 εν πασιν οις διηλθον εν παντι ισραηλ ει λαλων ελαλησα προς μιαν φυλην του ισραηλ ω ενετειλαμην ποιμαινειν τον λαον μου ισραηλ λεγων τι οτι ουκ ωκοδομηκατε μοι οικον κεδρινον	7 In al my travels with al the Israelites, did I say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I had commanded to shepherd my people Israel: Why do you not build me a cedar-wood temple?"
8 και νυν ταδε ερεις τω δουλω μου δαυιδ ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ελαβον σε εκ της μανδρας των προβατων του ειναι σε εις ηγουμενον επι τον λαον μου επι τον ισραηλ	8 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;
9 και ημην μετα σου εν πασιν οις επορευου και εξωλεθρευσα παντας τους εχθρους σου απο προσωπου σου και εποιησα σε ονομαστον κατα το ονομα των μεγαλων των επι της γης	9 I have been with you wherever you went; I have got rid of al your enemies for you. I am going to makeyour fame as great as the fame of the greatest on earth.
10 και θησομαι τοπον τω λαω μου τω ισραηλ και καταφυτευσω αυτον και κατασκηνωσει καθ' εαυτον και ου μεριμνησει ουκετι και ου προσθησει υιος αδικιας του ταπεινωσαι αυτον καθως απ' αρχης	10 I am going to provide a place for my people Israel; I shall plant them there, and there they wil live andnever be disturbed again; nor wil they be oppressed by the wicked any more, as they were in former times
11 απο των ημερων ων εταξα κριτας επι τον λαον μου ισραηλ και αναπαυσω σε απο παντων των εχθρων σου και απαγγελει σοι κυριος οτι οικον οικοδομησεις αυτω	11 ever since the time when I instituted judges to govern my people Israel; and I shal grant you rest fromal your enemies. Yahweh furthermore tel s you that he wil make you a dynasty.
12 και εσται εαν 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 And when your days are over and you fal asleep with your ancestors, I shal appoint your heir, yourown son to succeed you (and I shal make his sovereignty secure.
13 αυτος οικοδομησει μοι οικον τω ονοματι μου και ανορθωσω τον θρονον αυτου εως εις τον αιωνα	13 He wil build a temple for my name) and I shal make his royal throne secure for ever.
14 εγω εσομαι αυτω εις πατερα και αυτος εσται μοι εις υιον και εαν ελθη η αδικια αυτου και ελεγξω αυτον εν ραβδω ανδρων και εν αφαις υιων ανθρωπων	14 I shal be a father to him and he a son to me; if he does wrong, I shal punish him with a rod such asmen use, with blows such as mankind gives.
15 το δε ελεος μου ουκ αποστησω απ' αυτου καθως απεστησα αφ' ων απεστησα εκ προσωπου μου	15 But my faithful love wil never be withdrawn from him as I withdrew it from Saul, whom I removed frombefore you.
16 και πιστωθησεται ο οικος αυτου και η βασιλεια αυτου εως αιωνος ενωπιον εμου και ο θρονος αυτου εσται ανωρθωμενος εις τον αιωνα	16 Your dynasty and your sovereignty will ever stand firm before me and your throne be for ever secure."'
17 κατα παντας τους λογους τουτους και κατα πασαν την ορασιν ταυτην ουτως ελαλησεν ναθαν προς δαυιδ	17 Nathan related al these words and this whole revelation to David.
18 και εισηλθεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ και εκαθισεν ενωπιον κυριου και ειπεν τις ειμι εγω κυριε μου κυριε και τις ο οικος μου οτι ηγαπηκας με εως τουτων	18 King David then went in, sat down in Yahweh's presence and said: 'Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and whatis my lineage, for you to have led me as far as this?
19 και κατεσμικρυνθη μικρον ενωπιον σου κυριε μου κυριε και ελαλησας υπερ του οικου του δουλου σου εις μακραν ουτος δε ο νομος του ανθρωπου κυριε μου κυριε	19 Yet, to you, Lord Yahweh, this seemed too little, and now you extend your promises for your servant'sfamily into the distant future. Such is human destiny, Lord Yahweh.
20 και τι προσθησει δαυιδ ετι του λαλησαι προς σε και νυν συ οιδας τον δουλον σου κυριε μου κυριε	20 What more can David say to you, since you, Lord Yahweh, know al about your servant?
21 δια τον λογον σου πεποιηκας και κατα την καρδιαν σου εποιησας πασαν την μεγαλωσυνην ταυτην γνωρισαι τω δουλω σου	21 Because of your promise and since you were so inclined, you have had the generosity to reveal this toyour servant.
22 ενεκεν του μεγαλυναι σε κυριε μου κυριε οτι ουκ εστιν ως συ και ουκ εστιν θεος πλην σου εν πασιν οις ηκουσαμεν εν τοις ωσιν ημων	22 That is why you are great, Lord Yahweh; there is no one like you, no God but you alone, as everythingthat we have heard confirms.
23 και τις ως ο λαος σου ισραηλ εθνος αλλο εν τη γη ως ωδηγησεν αυτον ο θεος του λυτρωσασθαι αυτω λαον του θεσθαι σε ονομα του ποιησαι μεγαλωσυνην και επιφανειαν του εκβαλειν σε εκ προσωπου του λαου σου ου ελυτρωσω σεαυτω εξ αιγυπτου εθνη και σκηνωματα	23 Is there another people on earth like your people, like Israel, whom a god proceeded to redeem, tomake them his people and to make a name for himself by performing great and terrible things on their behalf, bydriving out nations and their gods before his people? -
24 και ητοιμασας σεαυτω τον λαον σου ισραηλ λαον εως αιωνος και συ κυριε εγενου αυτοις εις θεον	24 for you constituted your people Israel your own people for ever and you, Yahweh, became their God.
25 και νυν κυριε μου κυριε το ρημα ο ελαλησας περι του δουλου σου και του οικου αυτου πιστωσον εως αιωνος κυριε παντοκρατωρ θεε του ισραηλ και νυν καθως ελαλησας	25 'Now, Yahweh God, may the promise which you have made for your servant and for his family standfirm forever as you have said,
26 μεγαλυνθειη το ονομα σου εως αιωνος	26 so that your name wil be exalted for ever and people wil say, "Israel's God is Yahweh Sabaoth." Yourservant David's dynasty wil be secure before you,
27 κυριε παντοκρατωρ θεος ισραηλ απεκαλυψας το ωτιον του δουλου σου λεγων οικον οικοδομησω σοι δια τουτο ευρεν ο δουλος σου την καρδιαν εαυτου του προσευξασθαι προς σε την προσευχην ταυτην	27 since you, Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, have disclosed to your servant, "I am going to buildyou a dynasty." Hence, your servant has ventured to offer this prayer to you.
28 και νυν κυριε μου κυριε συ ει ο θεος και οι λογοι σου εσονται αληθινοι και ελαλησας υπερ του δουλου σου τα αγαθα ταυτα	28 Yes, Lord Yahweh, you are God indeed, your words are true and you have made this generouspromise to your servant.
29 και νυν αρξαι και ευλογησον τον οικον του δουλου σου του ειναι εις τον αιωνα ενωπιον σου οτι συ ει κυριε μου κυριε ελαλησας και απο της ευλογιας σου ευλογηθησεται ο οικος του δουλου σου εις τον αιωνα	29 What is more, you have deigned to bless your servant's dynasty, so that it may remain for ever beforeyou; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken; and may your servant's dynasty be blessed with your blessing forever.'
