1 Cronache ( اخبار) 17

SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وكان لما سكن داود في بيته قال داود لناثان النبي. هانذا ساكن في بيت من ارز وتابوت عهد الرب تحت شقق.	1 Now when David was living in his house, he said to the prophet Nathan: “Behold, I live in a house of cedar. But the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent skins.”
2 فقال ناثان لداود افعل كل ما في قلبك لان الله معك.	2 And Nathan said to David: “Do all that is in your heart. For God is with you.”
3 وفي تلك الليلة كان كلام الله الى ناثان قائلا	3 And yet, that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
4 اذهب وقل لداود عبدي هكذا قال الرب. انت لا تبني لي بيتا للسكنى.	4 “Go, and speak to my servant David: Thus says the Lord: You shall not build a house for me as a dwelling place.
5 لاني لم اسكن في بيت منذ يوم اصعدت اسرائيل الى هذا اليوم بل سرت من خيمة الى خيمة ومن مسكن الى مسكن.	5 For I have not stayed in a house from the time when I led out Israel, even to this day. Instead, I have been continually changing places, in a tabernacle and tent,
6 في كل ما سرت مع جميع اسرائيل هل تكلمت بكلمة مع احد قضاة اسرائيل الذين امرتهم ان يرعوا شعبي اسرائيل قائلا لماذا لم تبنوا لي بيتا من ارز.	6 dwelling with all of Israel. When did I ever speak to any one at all, among the judges of Israel whom I placed in charge so that they might pasture my people, saying: ‘Why have you not built a house of cedar for me?’
7 والآن فهكذا تقول لعبدي داود. هكذا قال رب الجنود انا اخذتك من المربض من وراء الغنم لتكون رئيسا على شعبي اسرائيل.	7 And so, now you shall say this to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you when you were following the flock in the pastures, so that you would be the leader of my people Israel.
8 وكنت معك حيثما توجهت وقرضت جميع اعدائك من امامك وعملت لك اسما كاسم العظماء الذين في الارض.	8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone. And I have slain all your enemies before you, and I have made a name for you like one of the great ones who are celebrated upon the earth.
9 وعيّنت مكانا لشعبي اسرائيل وغرسته فسكن في مكانه ولا يضطرب بعد ولا يعود بنو الاثم يبلونه كما في الاول	9 And I have given a place to my people Israel. They shall be planted, and they shall live in it, and they shall no longer be moved. Neither shall the sons of iniquity wear them away, as in the beginning,
10 ومنذ الايام التي فيها اقمت قضاة على شعبي اسرائيل. واذللت جميع اعدائك. واخبرك ان الرب يبني لك بيتا	10 from the days when I gave judges to my people Israel, and I humbled all your enemies. Therefore, I announce to you that the Lord will build a house for you.
11 ويكون متى كملت ايامك لتذهب مع آبائك اني اقيم بعدك نسلك الذي يكون من بنيك واثبت مملكته.	11 And when you will have completed your days, so that you go to your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall be from your sons. And I will establish his kingdom.
12 هو يبني لي بيتا وانا اثبت كرسيه الى الابد.	12 He shall build a house for me, and I will make firm his throne, even unto eternity.
13 انا اكون له ابا وهو يكون لي ابنا ولا انزع رحمتي عنه كما نزعتها عن الذي كان قبلك.	13 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. And I will not take away my mercy from him, as I took it away from the one who was before you.
14 واقيمه في بيتي وملكوتي الى الابد ويكون كرسيه ثابتا الى الابد.	14 And I will station him in my house and in my kingdom, even forever. And his throne will be very firm, in perpetuity.”
15 فحسب جميع هذا الكلام وحسب كل هذه الرؤيا كذلك كلم ناثان داود	15 According to all these words, and according to this entire vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
16 فدخل الملك داود وجلس امام الرب وقال. من انا ايها الرب الاله وماذا بيتي حتى اوصلتني الى هنا.	16 And when king David had departed, and had sat down before the Lord, he said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you would grant such things to me?
17 وقلّ هذا في عينيك يا الله فتكلمت عن بيت عبدك الى زمان طويل ونظرت اليّ من العلاء كعادة الانسان ايها الرب الاله.	17 But even this has seemed little in your sight, and therefore you have also spoken about the house of your servant even for the future. And you have made me a spectacle above all men, O Lord God.
18 فماذا يزيد داود بعد لك لاجل اكرام عبدك وانت قد عرفت عبدك.	18 What more can David add, since you have so glorified your servant, and have known him?
19 يا رب من اجل عبدك وحسب قلبك قد فعلت كل هذه العظائم لتظهر جميع العظائم	19 O Lord, because of your servant, in accord with your own heart, you have brought about all this magnificence, and you have willed all these great things to be known.
20 يا رب ليس مثلك ولا اله غيرك حسب كل ما سمعناه بآذاننا.	20 O Lord, there is no one like you. And there is no other God apart from you, out of all whom we have heard about with our ears.
21 وايّة امة على الارض مثل شعبك اسرائيل الذي سار الله ليفتديه لنفسه شعبا لتجعل لك اسم عظائم ومخاوف بطردك امما من امام شعبك الذي افتديته من مصر.	21 For what other single nation upon earth is like your people Israel, to whom God reached out, so that he might free them, and might make a people for himself, and by his greatness and terribleness cast out the nations before the face of those whom he had freed from Egypt?
22 وقد جعلت شعبك اسرائيل لنفسك شعبا الى الابد وانت ايها الرب صرت لهم الها.	22 And you have set your people Israel to be your people, even unto eternity. And you, O Lord, have become their God.
23 والآن ايها الرب ليثبت الى الابد الكلام الذي تكلمت به عن عبدك وعن بيته وافعل كما نطقت.	23 Now therefore, O Lord, let the word that you have spoken to your servant, and over his house, be confirmed in perpetuity, and do just as you have spoken.
24 وليثبت ويتعظم اسمك الى الابد فيقال رب الجنود اله اسرائيل هو الله لاسرائيل وليثبت بيت داود عبدك امامك.	24 And may your name remain and be magnified even for all time. And let it be said: ‘The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel. And the house of his servant David remains forever before him.’
25 لانك يا الهي قد اعلنت لعبدك انك تبني له بيتا لذلك وجد عبدك ان يصلّي امامك.	25 For you, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build a house for him. And therefore your servant has found faith so that he might pray before you.
26 والآن ايها الرب انت هو الله وقد وعدت عبدك بهذا الخير.	26 Now then, O Lord, you are God. And you have spoken to your servant such great benefits.
27 والآن قد ارتضيت بان تبارك بيت عبدك ليكون الى الابد امامك لانك انت يا رب قد باركت وهو مبارك الى الابد	27 And you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it may be always before you. For since it is you who is blessing, O Lord, it shall be blessed forever.”
