1 Chronicles 17

The Message Bible MSG

1 After the king had made himself at home, he said to Nathan the prophet, "Look at this: Here I am comfortable in a luxurious palace of cedar and the Chest of the Covenant of God sits under a tent."

2 Nathan told David, "Whatever is on your heart, go and do it; God is with you."

3 But that night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

4 "Go and tell my servant David, This is God's word on the matter: You will not build me a 'house' to live in.

5 Why, I haven't lived in a 'house' from the time I brought up the children of Israel from Egypt till now; I've gone from one tent and makeshift shelter to another.

6 In all my travels with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the leaders I commanded to shepherd Israel, 'Why haven't you built me a house of cedar?'

7 "So here is what you are to tell my servant David: The God-of-the-Angel-Armies has this word for you: I took you from the pasture, tagging after sheep, and made you prince over my people Israel.

8 I was with you everywhere you went and mowed your enemies down before you; and now I'm about to make you famous, ranked with the great names on earth.

9 I'm going to set aside a place for my people Israel and plant them there so they'll have their own home and not be knocked around anymore; nor will evil nations afflict them as they always have,

10 even during the days I set judges over my people Israel. And finally, I'm going to conquer all your enemies.

11 When your life is complete and you're buried with your ancestors, then I'll raise up your child to succeed you, a child from your own body, and I'll firmly establish his rule.

12 He will build a house to honor me, and I will guarantee his kingdom's rule forever.

13 I'll be a father to him, and he'll be a son to me. I will never remove my gracious love from him as I did from the one who preceded you.

14 I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will always be there, rock solid."

15 Nathan gave David a complete and accurate report of everything he heard and saw in the vision.

16 King David went in, took his place before God, and prayed:

17 But that's nothing compared to what's coming, for you've also spoken of my family far into the future, given me a glimpse into tomorrow and looked on me, Master God, as a Somebody.

18 What's left for David to say to this - to your honoring your servant, even though you know me, just as I am?

19 O God, out of the goodness of your heart, you've taken your servant to do this great thing and put your great work on display.

20 There's none like you, God, no God but you, nothing to compare with what we've heard with our own ears.

21 And who is like your people, like Israel, a nation unique on earth, whom God set out to redeem as his own people (and became most famous for it), performing great and fearsome acts, throwing out nations and their gods left and right as you saved your people from Egypt?

22 You established for yourself a people - your very own Israel! - your people forever. And you, God, became their God.

23 So now, great God, this word that you have spoken to me and my family, guarantee it forever! Do exactly what you've promised!

24 Then your reputation will be confirmed and flourish always as people exclaim, "The God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God over Israel, is Israel's God!" And the house of your servant David will remain rock solid under your watchful presence.

25 You, my God, have told me plainly, "I will build you a house." That's how I was able to find the courage to pray this prayer to you.

26 God, being the God you are, you have spoken all these wonderful words to me.

27 As if that weren't enough, you've blessed my family so that it will continue in your presence always. Because you have blessed it, God, it's really blessed - blessed for good!

The Latin Vulgate VUL

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 et ait Nathan ad David omnia quae in corde tuo sunt fac Deus enim tecum est

3 igitur nocte illa factus est sermo Dei ad Nathan dicens

4 vade et loquere David servo meo haec dicit Dominus non aedificabis tu mihi domum ad habitandum

5 neque enim mansi in domo ex eo tempore quo eduxi Israhel usque ad hanc diem sed fui semper mutans loca tabernaculi et in tentorio

6 manens cum omni Israhel numquid locutus sum saltim uni iudicum Israhel quibus praeceperam ut pascerent populum meum et dixi quare non aedificastis mihi domum cedrinam

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 Israhel

8 et fui tecum quocumque perrexisti et interfeci omnes inimicos tuos coram te fecique tibi nomen quasi unius magnorum qui celebrantur in terra

9 et dedi locum populo meo Israhel plantabitur et habitabit in eo et ultra non commovebitur nec filii iniquitatis adterent eos sicut a principio

10 ex diebus quibus dedi iudices populo meo Israhel et humiliavi universos inimicos tuos adnuntio ergo tibi quod aedificaturus sit domum tibi Dominus

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 ipse aedificabit mihi domum et firmabo solium eius usque in aeternum

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 et statuam eum in domo mea et in regno meo usque in sempiternum et thronus eius erit firmissimus in perpetuum

15 iuxta omnia verba haec et iuxta universam visionem istam sic locutus est Nathan ad David

16 cumque venisset rex David et sedisset coram Domino dixit quis ego sum Domine Deus et quae domus mea ut praestares mihi talia

17 sed et hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo ideoque locutus es super domum servi tui etiam in futurum et fecisti me spectabilem super omnes homines Domine Deus meus

18 quid ultra addere potest David cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum et cognoveris eum

19 Domine propter famulum tuum iuxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia

20 Domine non est similis tui et non est alius deus absque te ex omnibus quos audivimus auribus nostris

21 quis autem est alius ut populus tuus Israhel gens una in terra ad quam perrexit Deus ut liberaret et faceret populum sibi et magnitudine sua atque terroribus eiceret nationes a facie eius quem de Aegypto liberarat

22 et posuisti populum tuum Israhel tibi in populum usque in aeternum et tu Domine factus es Deus eius

23 nunc igitur Domine sermo quem locutus es famulo tuo et super domum eius confirmetur in perpetuum et fac sicut locutus es

24 permaneatque et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum et dicatur Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel et domus David servi eius permanens coram eo

25 tu enim Domine Deus meus revelasti auriculam servi tui ut aedificares ei domum et idcirco invenit servus tuus fiduciam ut oret coram te

26 nunc ergo Domine tu es Deus et locutus es ad servum tuum tanta beneficia

27 et coepisti benedicere domui servi tui ut sit semper coram te te enim Domine benedicente benedicta erit in perpetuum
