| 7 | 1 | And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies, | factum est autem cum sedisset rex in domo sua et Dominus dedisset ei requiem undique ab universis inimicis suis |
| 7 | 2 | He said to Nathan the prophet: Dost thou see that I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God is lodged within skins? | dixit ad Nathan prophetam videsne quod ego habitem in domo cedrina et arca Dei posita sit in medio pellium |
| 7 | 3 | And Nathan said to the king: Go, do all that is in they heart: because the Lord is with thee. | dixitque Nathan ad regem omne quod est in corde tuo vade fac quia Dominus tecum est |
| 7 | 4 | But it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying: | factum est autem in nocte illa et ecce sermo Domini ad Nathan dicens |
| 7 | 5 | Go, and say to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord: Shalt thou build me a house to dwell in? | vade et loquere ad servum meum David haec dicit Dominus numquid tu aedificabis mihi domum ad habitandum |
| 7 | 6 | Whereas I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt even to this day: but have walked in a tabernacle, and in a tent. | neque enim habitavi in domo ex die qua eduxi filios Israhel de terra Aegypti usque in diem hanc sed ambulans ambulabam in tabernaculo et in tentorio |
| 7 | 7 | In all the places that I have gone through with all the children of Israel, did ever I speak a word to any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar? | per cuncta loca quae transivi cum omnibus filiis Israhel numquid loquens locutus sum ad unam de tribubus Israhel cui praecepi ut pasceret populum meum Israhel dicens quare non aedificastis mihi domum cedrinam |
| 7 | 8 | And now thus shalt thou speak to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I took thee out of the pastures from following the sheep to be ruler over my people Israel: | et nunc haec dices servo meo David haec dicit Dominus exercituum ego tuli te de pascuis sequentem greges ut esses dux super populum meum Israhel |
| 7 | 9 | And I have been with thee wheresoever thou hast walked, and have slain all thy enemies from before thy face: and I have made thee a great man, like unto the name of the great ones that are on the earth. | et fui tecum in omnibus ubicumque ambulasti et interfeci universos inimicos tuos a facie tua fecique tibi nomen grande iuxta nomen magnorum qui sunt in terra |
| 7 | 10 | And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them, and they shall dwell therein, and shall be disturbed no more: neither shall the children of iniquity afflict them any more as they did before, | et ponam locum populo meo Israhel et plantabo eum et habitabit sub eo et non turbabitur amplius nec addent filii iniquitatis ut adfligant eum sicut prius |
| 7 | 11 | From the day that I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give thee rest from all thy enemies. And the Lord foretelleth to thee, that the Lord will make thee a house. | ex die qua constitui iudices super populum meum Israhel et requiem dabo tibi ab omnibus inimicis tuis praedicitque tibi Dominus quod domum faciat tibi Dominus |
| 7 | 12 | And when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of the bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. | cumque conpleti fuerint dies tui et dormieris cum patribus tuis suscitabo semen tuum post te quod egredietur de utero tuo et firmabo regnum eius |
| 7 | 13 | He shall build a house to my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom fore ever. | ipse aedificabit domum nomini meo et stabiliam thronum regni eius usque in sempiternum |
| 7 | 14 | I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and if he commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men. | ego ero ei in patrem et ipse erit mihi in filium qui si inique aliquid gesserit arguam eum in virga virorum et in plagis filiorum hominum |
| 7 | 15 | But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before my face. | misericordiam autem meam non auferam ab eo sicut abstuli a Saul quem amovi a facie tua |
| 7 | 16 | And thy house shall be faithful, and thy kingdom for ever before thy face, and thy throne shall be firm for ever. | et fidelis erit domus tua et regnum tuum usque in aeternum ante faciem tuam et thronus tuus erit firmus iugiter |
| 7 | 17 | According to all these words and according to all this vision so did Nathan speak to David. | secundum omnia verba haec et iuxta universam visionem istam sic locutus est Nathan ad David |
| 7 | 18 | And David went in, and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far? | ingressus est autem rex David et sedit coram Domino et dixit quis ego sum Domine Deus et quae domus mea quia adduxisti me hucusque |
| 7 | 19 | Bur yet this hath seemed little in thy sight, O Lord God, unless thou didst also speak of the house of thy servant for a long time to come: for this is the law of Adam, O Lord God: | sed et hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo Domine Deus nisi loquereris etiam de domo servi tui in longinquum ista est enim lex Adam Domine Deus |
| 7 | 20 | And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord God: | quid ergo addere poterit adhuc David ut loquatur ad te tu enim scis servum tuum Domine Deus |
| 7 | 21 | For thy word's sake, and according to thy own heart thou has done all these great things, so that thou wouldst make it known to thy servant. | propter verbum tuum et secundum cor tuum fecisti omnia magnalia haec ita ut notum faceres servo tuo |
| 7 | 22 | Therefore thou art magnified, O Lord God, because there is none like to thee, neither is there any God besides thee, in all the things that we have heard with our ears. | idcirco magnificatus es Domine Deus quia non est similis tui neque est deus extra te in omnibus quae audivimus auribus nostris |
| 7 | 23 | And what nation is there upon earth, as thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for them great and terrible things, upon the earth, before the face of thy people, whom thou redeemedst to thyself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods. | quae est autem ut populus tuus Israhel gens in terra propter quam ivit Deus ut redimeret eam sibi in populum et poneret sibi nomen faceretque eis magnalia et horribilia super terram a facie populi tui quem redemisti tibi ex Aegypto gentem et deum eius |
| 7 | 24 | For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be an everlasting people: and thou, O Lord God, art become their God. | et firmasti tibi populum tuum Israhel in populum sempiternum et tu Domine factus es eis in Deum |
| 7 | 25 | And now, O Lord God, raise up for ever the word that thou hast spoken, concerning thy servant and concerning his house: and do as thou hast spoken, | nunc ergo Domine Deus verbum quod locutus es super servum tuum et super domum eius suscita in sempiternum et fac sicut locutus es |
| 7 | 26 | That thy name may be magnified for ever, and it may be said: The Lord of hosts is God over Israel. And the house of thy servant David shall be established before the Lord. | et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum atque dicatur Dominus exercituum Deus super Israhel et domus servi tui David erit stabilita coram Domino |
| 7 | 27 | Because thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, saying: I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee. | quia tu Domine exercituum Deus Israhel revelasti aurem servi tui dicens domum aedificabo tibi propterea invenit servus tuus cor suum ut oraret te oratione hac |
| 7 | 28 | And now, O Lord God, thou art God, and thy words shall be true: for thou hast spoken to thy servant these good things. | nunc ergo Domine Deus tu es Deus et verba tua erunt vera locutus es enim ad servum tuum bona haec |
| 7 | 29 | And now begin, and bless the house of thy servant, that it may endure for ever before thee: because thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it, and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. | incipe igitur et benedic domui servi tui ut sit in sempiternum coram te quia tu Domine Deus locutus es et benedictione tua benedicetur domus servi tui in sempiternum |
