The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Forsooth when David dwelled in his house, he said to Nathan, the prophet, Lo! I dwell in an house of cedars; and the ark of [the] bond of peace of the Lord is under skins. (And when David was in his house, he said to the prophet Nathan, Lo! I live in a cedar house; but the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord is under curtains, or in a tent.)
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 And Nathan said to David, Do thou all things that be in thine heart, for God is with thee.
2
et ait Nathan ad David omnia quae in corde tuo sunt fac Deus enim tecum est
3 Therefore in that night (But in that night), the word of the Lord was made to Nathan, and (he) said,
3
igitur nocte illa factus est sermo Dei ad Nathan dicens
4 Go thou, and speak to David, my servant, (and say,) The Lord saith these things, Thou shalt not build to me an house to dwell in (Thou shalt not built a House for me to live in);
4
vade et loquere David servo meo haec dicit Dominus non aedificabis tu mihi domum ad habitandum
5 certainly I have not dwelled in an house, from that time in which I led Israel out of the land of Egypt till to this day, but ever[more] I have changed places of the tabernacle, and have dwelled in a tent with all Israel. (truly I have not lived in a House, from that time in which I led Israel out of the land of Egypt unto this day, but always I have gone from place to place, and have lived in a tabernacle, yea, a tent, like all Israel.)
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 Whether I have spoken namely to one of the judges of Israel, to which I commanded that they should feed my people, and said, Why hast thou not builded to me an house of cedar? (Have I spoken to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I commanded that they should feed my people, and said, Why hast thou not built a cedar House for me?)
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 Now therefore thou shalt speak thus to my servant David, The Lord of hosts saith these things, I took thee, when thou followedest the flock in the pastures, that thou shouldest be duke upon my people Israel; (And so now thou shalt say thus to my servant David, The Lord of hosts saith these things, I took thee from the pastures, where thou followedest the flocks, so that thou wouldest be the leader of my people Israel;)
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 and I was with thee whither ever thou wentest, and I killed all thine enemies before thee, and I made to thee a name, as of one of the great men that be made worshipful, either famous, in [the] earth. (and I was with thee wherever thou wentest, and I killed all thy enemies before thee, and I made a name for thee, as of one of the great men to be honoured, or famous, on the earth.)
8
et fui tecum quocumque perrexisti et interfeci omnes inimicos tuos coram te fecique tibi nomen quasi unius magnorum qui celebrantur in terra
9 And I gave a place to my people Israel; it shall be planted, and shall dwell therein, and it shall no more be moved, and the sons of wickedness shall not defoul them, as from the beginning, (And I gave a place to my people Israel; they shall be planted there, and shall live there; and they shall no longer be oppressed, and the sons of wickedness shall not defile them, as they did at the beginning,)
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 from the days in which I gave judges to my people Israel; and I made low all thine enemies. Therefore I tell to thee, that the Lord shall build an house to thee. (in the days when I gave judges to my people Israel; yea, I shall humble all thy enemies. And so I tell thee, that the Lord shall build a house for thee.)
10
ex diebus quibus dedi iudices populo meo Israhel et humiliavi universos inimicos tuos adnuntio ergo tibi quod aedificaturus sit domum tibi Dominus
11 And when thou hast fulfilled thy days, that thou go to thy fathers, I shall raise up thy seed after thee, that shall be of thy sons, and I shall stablish his realm; (And when thou hast finished thy days, and thou shalt go to thy fathers, that is, when thou shalt die, I shall raise up thy descendant after thee, who shall be one of thy sons, and I shall stablish his kingdom;)
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 he shall build to me an house, and I shall make steadfast his seat into without end. (he shall build a House for me, and I shall make his throne steadfast forevermore.)
12
ipse aedificabit mihi domum et firmabo solium eius usque in aeternum
13 I shall be to him into a father, and he shall be to me into a son; and I shall not do away my mercy from him, as I took it away from him that was before thee; (I shall be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me; and I shall not take away my love from him, as I took it away from him who was before thee;)
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 and I shall ordain him in mine house and in my realm into without end; and his throne shall be most steadfast without end. (and I shall ordain him in my House and in my kingdom forevermore; and his throne shall be most steadfast forevermore.)
14
et statuam eum in domo mea et in regno meo usque in sempiternum et thronus eius erit firmissimus in perpetuum
15 By all these words, and by all this revelation, so Nathan spake to David.
15
iuxta omnia verba haec et iuxta universam visionem istam sic locutus est Nathan ad David
16 And when king David had come, and had set before the Lord, he said, Lord God, who am I, and what is mine house, that thou shouldest give such things to me?
16
cumque venisset rex David et sedisset coram Domino dixit quis ego sum Domine Deus et quae domus mea ut praestares mihi talia
17 But also this is seen (as) little in thy sight, and therefore thou hast spoken of the house of thy servant, yea, into time to coming (in the time to come); and thou hast made me worthy to be beholden over all men. My Lord God,
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 what may David add more, since thou hast so glorified thy servant, and hast known him? (what more can David add, or say, since thou hast so glorified thy servant, even though thou knowest him so well?)
18
quid ultra addere potest David cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum et cognoveris eum
19 Lord, for thy servant, thou hast done by thine heart all this great doing, and thou wouldest that all (these) great things be known. (Lord, for thy servant's sake, and after thy own heart, thou hast done all this great doing, and thou desirest that all these great things be known.)
19
Domine propter famulum tuum iuxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia
20 Lord, none is like thee, and none other God is without thee, of all which we have heard with our ears. (Lord, no one is like thee, and there is no other God besides thee, out of all which we have heard with our ears.)
20
Domine non est similis tui et non est alius deus absque te ex omnibus quos audivimus auribus nostris
21 For who is another (such) as thy people Israel, (this) one folk in [the] earth, to whom God went, to deliver and make a people to himself, and to cast out by his greatness and dreads nations from the face thereof, the which people he delivered from Egypt? (For who is another such as thy people Israel, this one nation in all the earth, to whom God went, and delivered from servitude, or from slavery, to make them his people, and to make a great and fearful name for himself, by throwing out nations from before them, yea, the people whom he rescued from Egypt?)
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 And thou hast set thy people Israel into a people to thee into without end, and thou, Lord, art made the God thereof (and thou, Lord, art made their God).
22
et posuisti populum tuum Israhel tibi in populum usque in aeternum et tu Domine factus es Deus eius
23 Now therefore (And so now), Lord, the word which thou hast spoken to thy servant, and on his house, be it confirmed without end, and do, as thou hast spoken;
23
nunc igitur Domine sermo quem locutus es famulo tuo et super domum eius confirmetur in perpetuum et fac sicut locutus es
24 and thy name dwell, and be (it) magnified without end; and be it said, The Lord of hosts is God of Israel, and the house of David, his servant, dwelling before him (and the house of his servant David shall live before him).
24
permaneatque et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum et dicatur Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel et domus David servi eius permanens coram eo
25 For thou, my Lord God, hast made revelation in the ear of thy servant, that thou wouldest build to him an house (that thou wouldest build a house for him); and therefore thy servant hath found trust, that he pray before thee.
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 Now therefore, Lord, thou art God, and hast spoken to thy servant so great benificences; (And so now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised to thy servant such good and great things;)
26
nunc ergo Domine tu es Deus et locutus es ad servum tuum tanta beneficia
27 and thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it be ever[more] before thee; for, Lord, for thou blessest, it shall be blessed without end. (and thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it be before thee forevermore; for, Lord, because thou blessest, it shall be blessed forevermore.)
27
et coepisti benedicere domui servi tui ut sit semper coram te te enim Domine benedicente benedicta erit in perpetuum
