And when David dwelt in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet: Behold I dwell in a house of cedar: and the Ark of the covenant of our Lord is under skins.AND when Dauid dwelt in his house, he sayd to Nathan the prophete: Behold I dwel in a house of cedar: and the Arke of the couenant of our Lord is vnder skinnes.Cum autem habitaret David in domo sua, dixit ad Nathan prophetam : Ecce ego habito in domo cedrina : arca autem fœderis Domini sub pellibus est.
2And Nathan said to David: All things, that are in thy heart do: for God is with thee.And Nathan sayd to Dauid: Al thinges, that are in thy hart doe: for God is with thee.Et ait Nathan ad David : Omnia quæ in corde tuo sunt, fac : Deus enim tecum est.
3Therefore that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:Therfore that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:Igitur nocte illa factus est sermo Dei ad Nathan, dicens :
4Go, and speak to David my servant: Thus saith our Lord: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in.Goe, and speake to Dauid my seruant: Thus sayth our Lord: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwel in.Vade, et loquere David servo meo : Hæc dicit Dominus : Non ædificabis tu mihi domum ad habitandum.
5For neither have I remained in house from the time, that I brought out Israel, until this day: but I have been always changing places of tabernacle, and in tentFor neither haue I remayned in house from the time, that I brought out Israel, vntil this day: but I haue bene alwaies changing places of tabernacle, and in tentNeque enim mansi in domo ex eo tempore quo eduxi Israël usque ad diem hanc : sed fui semper mutans loca tabernaculi, et in tentorio
6abiding with all Israel. Did I speak to one, at the least, of all the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, and did I say: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?abyding with al Israel. Did I speake to one, at the least, of al the iudges of Israel, whom I commanded to feede my people, and did I say: Why haue you not built me a house of cedar?manens cum omni Israël. Numquid locutus sum saltem uni judicum Israël, quibus præceperam ut pascerent populum meum, et dixi : Quare non ædificastis mihi domum cedrinam ?
7Now therefore so shalt thou speak to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I took thee, when in the pastures thou didst follow the flock, that thou shouldest be dux: ruler, leader of my people Israel.Now therfore so shalt thou speake to my seruant Dauid: Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes: I tooke thee, when in the pastures thou didest folow the flocke, that thou shouldest be prince of my people Israel.Nunc itaque sic loqueris ad servum meum David : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Ego tuli te, cum in pascuis sequereris gregem, ut esses dux populi mei Israël :
8And I have been with thee whither soever thou wentest: and I have slain all thine enemies before thee, and have made thee a name as of one of the great ones, that are renowned in the earth.And I haue bene with thee whither soeuer thou wentest: and I haue slayne al thine enemies before thee, and haue made thee a name as of one of the great ones, that are renowmed in the earth.et fui tecum quocumque perrexisti, et interfeci omnes inimicos tuos coram te, fecique tibi nomen quasi unius magnorum qui celebrantur in terra.
9And I have given a place to my people Israel: it shall be planted, and shall dwell therein, and shall be moved no more, neither shall the children of iniquity consume them, as from the beginning,And I haue geuen a place to my people Israel: it shal be planted, and shal dwel therin, and shal be moued no more, neither shal the children of iniquitie consume them, as from the beginning,✦Et dedi locum populo meo Israël : plantabitur, et habitabit in eo, et ultra non commovebitur : nec filii iniquitatis atterent eos, sicut a principio,
10since the days that I gave Judges to my people Israel, and humbled all thine enemies. I therefore tell thee, that our Lord will build thee a house.since the dayes that I gaue Iudges to my people Israel, and humbled al thine enimies. I therfore tel thee, that our Lord wil build thee a house.ex diebus quibus dedi judices populo meo Israël, et humiliavi universos inimicos tuos. Annuntio ergo tibi, quod ædificaturus sit tibi Dominus domum.
11And when thou shalt have accomplished thy days to go to thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy children: and I will establish his kingdom.And when thou shalt haue accomplished thy daies to goe to thy fathers, I wil rayse vp thy seede after thee, which shalbe of thy children: and I wil establish his kingdom.Cumque impleveris dies tuos ut vadas ad patres tuos, suscitabo semen tuum post te, quod erit de filiis tuis : et stabiliam regnum ejus.
12He shall build me a house, and I will confirm his throne for ever.He shal build me a house, and I wil confirme his throne for euer.Ipse ædificabit mihi domum, et firmabo solium ejus usque in æternum.
13I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to me for a son: and my mercy I will not take from him, as I took from him, that was before thee.I wil be to him for a father, and he shal be to me for a sonne: and my mercie I wil not take from him, as I tooke from him, that was before thee.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.
14And I will establish him in my house, and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be most firm for ever.And I wil establish him in my house, and in my kingdom for euer: and his throne shalbe most firme for euer.Et statuam eum in domo mea, et in regno meo usque in sempiternum : et thronus ejus erit firmissimus in perpetuum.
15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan to DavidAccording to al these wordes, and according to al this vision, so spake Nathan to DauidJuxta omnia verba hæc, et juxta universam visionem istam, sic locutus est Nathan ad David.
16And when king David came, and sate before our Lord, he said: Who am I Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldest give me such things?And when king Dauid came, and sate before our Lord, he sayd: Who am I Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldest geue me such thinges?Cumque venisset rex David, et sedisset coram Domino, dixit : Quis ego sum, Domine Deus, et quæ domus mea, ut præstares mihi talia ?
17But this also hath seemed little in thy sight, and therefore thou hast spoken concerning the house of thy servant for time to come also: and hast made me renowned above all men Lord God.But this also hath semed little in thy sight, and therfore thou hast spoken concerning the house of thy seruant for time to come also: and hast made me renowned aboue al men Lord God.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.
18What can David add farther, whereas thou hast so glorified thy servant, and known him?What can Dauid adde farther, wheras thou hast soe glorified thy seruant, and knowen him?Quid ultra addere potest David, cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum, et cognoveris eum ?
19Lord for thy servant according to thy heart thou hast done all this magnificence, and would have all thy great wonders to be known.Lord for thy seruant according to thy hart thou hast done al this magnificence, and would haue al thy great wonders to be knowen.Domine, propter famulum tuum juxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc, et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia.
20Lord, there is not the like to thee: and there is none other beside thee, of all whom we have heard with our ears.Lord, there is not the like to thee: and there is none other beside thee, of al whom we haue heard with our eares.Domine, non est similis tui, et non est alius deus absque te, ex omnibus quos audivimus auribus nostris.
21For what other is there, as thy people Israel, one nation in the earth, to the which God went, to deliver it and make it his people, and with his greatness and terrours cast out the nations before the face of it, which he delivered out of Egypt?For what other is there, as thy people Israel, one nation in the earth, to the which God went, to deliuer it and make it his people, and with his greatenesse and terrours cast out the nations before the face of it, which he deliuered out of Ægypt?Quis enim est alius, ut populus tuus Israël, gens una in terra, ad quam perrexit Deus ut liberaret et faceret populum sibi, et magnitudine sua atque terroribus ejiceret nationes a facie ejus, quem de Ægypto liberarat ?
22And thou hast made thy people Israel to be thy people ever, and thou Lord art made the God thereof.And thou hast made thy people Israel to be thy people euer, and thou Lord art made the God therof.Et posuisti populum tuum Israël tibi in populum usque in æternum, et tu, Domine, factus es Deus ejus.
23Now therefore Lord, the word, which thou hast spoken to thy servant, and concerning his house, be it confirmed for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.Now therfore Lord, the word, which thou hast spoken to thy seruant, and concerning his house, be it confirmed for euer, and do as thou hast spoken.Nunc igitur Domine, sermo quem locutus es famulo tuo et super domum ejus confirmetur in perpetuum, et fac sicut locutus es.
24And let thy name remain and be magnified for ever: and let it be said: The Lord of hosts is God of Israel, and the house of David his servant permanens: abiding, enduring before him.And let thy name remayne and be magnified for euer: and let it be sayd: The Lord of hostes is God of Israel, and the house of Dauid his seruant permanent before him.Permaneatque et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum, et dicatur : Dominus exercituum Deus Israël, et domus David servi ejus permanens coram eo.
25For thou Lord my God hast revealed the ear of thy servant, to build him a house: and therefore thy servant hath found confidence, to pray before thee.For thou Lord my God hast reueled the eare of thy seruant, to build him a house: and therfore thy seruant hath found confidence, to pray before thee.✦Tu enim, Domine Deus meus, revelasti auriculam servi tui, ut ædificares ei domum : et idcirco invenit servus tuus fiduciam, ut oret coram te.
26Now therefore Lord thou art God: and thou hast spoken to thy servant so great benefits.Now therfore Lord thou art God: and thou hast spoken to thy seruant so great benefittes.Nunc ergo Domine, tu es Deus, et locutus es ad servum tuum tanta beneficia.
27And thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it be always before thee: for thee O Lord blessing it, it shall be blessed for ever.And thou hast begunne to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it be alwaies before thee: for thee ô Lord blessing it, it shal be blessed for euer.Et cœpisti benedicere domui servi tui, ut sit semper coram te : te enim, Domine, benedicente, benedicta erit in perpetuum.
