歷代志上 17

大衛住在自己宮中，對先知拿單說：「看哪，我住在香柏木的宮中，耶和華的約櫃反在幔子裏。」

dà wèi zhù zài zì jǐ gōng zhōng ， duì xiān zhī ná dān shuō ：「 kàn nǎ ， wǒ zhù zài xiāng bǎi mù de gōng zhōng ， yē hé huá de yuē guì fǎn zài màn zǐ lǐ 。」

When David was living in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I live in a cedar house, but the ark of the LORD’s covenant is in a tent.”

拿單對大衛說：「你可以照你的心意而行，因為上帝與你同在。」

ná dān duì dà wèi shuō ：「 nǐ kě yǐ zhào nǐ de xīn yì ér xíng ， yīn wèi shén yǔ nǐ tóng zài 。」

Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”

當夜，上帝的話臨到拿單，說：

dāng yè ， shén de huà lín dào ná dān ， shuō ：

That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

「你去告訴我僕人大衛，說耶和華如此說：『你不可建造殿宇給我居住。

「 nǐ qù gào sù wǒ pú rén dà wèi ， shuō yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ：『 nǐ bù kě jiàn zào diàn yǔ gěi wǒ jū zhù 。

“Go and tell David my servant, ‘The LORD says, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in;

自從我領以色列人出埃及，直到今日，我未曾住過殿宇，乃從這會幕到那會幕，從這帳幕到那帳幕。

zì cóng wǒ lǐng yǐ sè liè rén chū āi jí ， zhí dào jīn rì ， wǒ wèi céng zhù guò diàn yǔ ， nǎi cóng zhè huì mù dào nà huì mù ， cóng zhè zhàng mù dào nà zhàng mù 。

for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.

凡我同以色列人所走的地方，我何曾向以色列的一個士師，就是我吩咐牧養我民的說：你為何不給我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？』

fán wǒ tóng yǐ sè liè rén suǒ zǒu de dì fāng ， wǒ hé céng xiàng yǐ sè liè de yí gè shì shī ， jiù shì wǒ fēn fù mù yǎng wǒ mín de shuō ： nǐ wèi hé bù gěi wǒ jiàn zào xiāng bǎi mù de diàn yǔ ne ？』

In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’

現在你要告訴我僕人大衛，說萬軍之耶和華如此說：『我從羊圈中將你召來，叫你不再跟從羊群，立你作我民以色列的君。

xiàn zài nǐ yào gào sù wǒ pú rén dà wèi ， shuō wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ：『 wǒ cóng yáng juàn zhōng jiāng nǐ zhào lái ， jiào nǐ bú zài gēn cóng yáng qún ， lì nǐ zuò wǒ mín yǐ sè liè de jūn 。

“Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘The LORD of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel.

你無論往哪裏去，我常與你同在，剪除你的一切仇敵；我必使你得大名，好像世上大大有名的人一樣。

nǐ wú lùn wǎng nǎ lǐ qù ， wǒ cháng yǔ nǐ tóng zài ， jiǎn chú nǐ de yí qiè chóu dí ； wǒ bì shǐ nǐ dé dà míng ， hǎo xiàng shì shàng dà dà yǒu míng de rén yí yàng 。

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

我必為我民以色列選定一個地方，栽培他們，使他們住自己的地方，不再遷移；凶惡之子也不像從前擾害他們，

wǒ bì wèi wǒ mín yǐ sè liè xuǎn dìng yí gè dì fāng ， zāi péi tā men ， shǐ tā men zhù zì jǐ de dì fāng ， bú zài qiān yí ； xiōng è zhī zǐ yě bú xiàng cóng qián rǎo hài tā men ，

I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not waste them any more, as at the first,

並不像我命士師治理我民以色列的時候一樣。我必治服你的一切仇敵，並且我－耶和華應許你，必為你建立家室。

bìng bú xiàng wǒ mìng shì shī zhì lǐ wǒ mín yǐ sè liè de shí hòu yí yàng 。 wǒ bì zhì fú nǐ de yí qiè chóu dí ， bìng qiě wǒ — yē hé huá yīng xǔ nǐ ， bì wèi nǐ jiàn lì jiā shì 。

and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

你壽數滿足歸你列祖的時候，我必使你的後裔接續你的位，我也必堅定他的國。

nǐ shòu shù mǎn zú guī nǐ liè zǔ de shí hòu ， wǒ bì shǐ nǐ de hòu yì jiē xù nǐ de wèi ， wǒ yě bì jiān dìng tā de guó 。

It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

他必為我建造殿宇；我必堅定他的國位直到永遠。

tā bì wèi wǒ jiàn zào diàn yǔ ； wǒ bì jiān dìng tā de guó wèi zhí dào yǒng yuǎn 。

He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

我要作他的父，他要作我的子；並不使我的慈愛離開他，像離開在你以前的掃羅一樣。

wǒ yào zuò tā de fù ， tā yào zuò wǒ de zǐ ； bìng bù shǐ wǒ de cí ài lí kāi tā ， xiàng lí kāi zài nǐ yǐ qián de sǎo luó yí yàng 。

I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you;

我卻要將他永遠堅立在我家裏和我國裏；他的國位也必堅定，直到永遠。』」

wǒ què yào jiāng tā yǒng yuǎn jiān lì zài wǒ jiā lǐ hé wǒ guó lǐ ； tā de guó wèi yě bì jiān dìng ， zhí dào yǒng yuǎn 。』」

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”

拿單就按這一切話，照這默示告訴大衛。

ná dān jiù àn zhè yí qiè huà ， zhào zhè mò shì gào sù dà wèi 。

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

於是大衛王進去，坐在耶和華面前，說：「耶和華上帝啊，我是誰，我的家算甚麼，你竟使我到這地步呢？

yú shì dà wèi wáng jìn qù ， zuò zài yē hé huá miàn qián ， shuō ：「 yē hé huá shén a ， wǒ shì shuí ， wǒ de jiā suàn shén me ， nǐ jìng shǐ wǒ dào zhè dì bù ne ？

Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?

上帝啊，這在你眼中還看為小，又應許你僕人的家至於久遠。耶和華上帝啊，你看顧我好像看顧高貴的人。

shén a ， zhè zài nǐ yǎn zhōng hái kàn wèi xiǎo ， yòu yīng xǔ nǐ pú rén de jiā zhì yú jiǔ yuǎn 。 yē hé huá shén a ， nǐ kàn gù wǒ hǎo xiàng kàn gù gāo guì de rén 。

This was a small thing in your eyes, O God, but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, LORD God.

你加於僕人的尊榮，我還有何言可說呢？因為你知道你的僕人。

nǐ jiā yú pú rén de zūn róng ， wǒ hái yǒu hé yán kě shuō ne ？ yīn wèi nǐ zhī dào nǐ de pú rén 。

What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.

耶和華啊，你行了這大事，並且顯明出來，是因你僕人的緣故，也是照你的心意。

yē hé huá a ， nǐ xíng le zhè dà shì ， bìng qiě xiǎn míng chū lái ， shì yīn nǐ pú rén de yuán gù ， yě shì zhào nǐ de xīn yì 。

LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

耶和華啊，照我們耳中聽見，沒有可比你的，除你以外再無上帝。

yē hé huá a ， zhào wǒ men ěr zhōng tīng jiàn ， méi yǒu kě bǐ nǐ de ， chú nǐ yǐ wài zài wú shén 。

LORD, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢？你上帝從埃及救贖他們作自己的子民，又在你贖出來的民面前行大而可畏的事，驅逐列邦人，顯出你的大名。

shì shàng yǒu hé mín néng bǐ nǐ de mín yǐ sè liè ne ？ nǐ shén cóng āi jí jiù shú tā men zuò zì jǐ de zǐ mín ， yòu zài nǐ shú chū lái de mín miàn qián xíng dà ér kě wèi de shì ， qū zhú liè bāng rén ， xiǎn chū nǐ de dà míng 。

What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people whom you redeemed out of Egypt?

你使以色列人作你的子民，直到永遠；你－耶和華也作他們的上帝。

nǐ shǐ yǐ sè liè rén zuò nǐ de zǐ mín ， zhí dào yǒng yuǎn ； nǐ — yē hé huá yě zuò tā men de shén 。

For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.

耶和華啊，你所應許僕人和僕人家的話，求你堅定，直到永遠，照你所說的而行。

yē hé huá a ， nǐ suǒ yīng xǔ pú rén hé pú rén jiā de huà ， qiú nǐ jiān dìng ， zhí dào yǒng yuǎn ， zhào nǐ suǒ shuō de ér xíng 。

Now, LORD, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.

願你的名永遠堅立，被尊為大，說：『萬軍之耶和華是以色列的上帝，是治理以色列的上帝。』這樣，你僕人大衛的家必在你面前堅立。

yuàn nǐ de míng yǒng yuǎn jiān lì ， bèi zūn wèi dà ， shuō ：『 wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá shì yǐ sè liè de shén ， shì zhì lǐ yǐ sè liè de shén 。』 zhè yàng ， nǐ pú rén dà wèi de jiā bì zài nǐ miàn qián jiān lì 。

Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’

我的上帝啊，因你啟示僕人說，我必為你建立家室，所以僕人大膽在你面前祈禱。

wǒ de shén a ， yīn nǐ qǐ shì pú rén shuō ， wǒ bì wèi nǐ jiàn lì jiā shì ， suǒ yǐ pú rén dà dǎn zài nǐ miàn qián qí dǎo 。

For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

耶和華啊，惟有你是上帝，你也應許將這福氣賜給僕人。

yē hé huá a ， wéi yǒu nǐ shì shén ， nǐ yě yīng xǔ jiāng zhè fú qì cì gěi pú rén 。

Now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.

現在你喜悅賜福與僕人的家，可以永存在你面前。耶和華啊，你已經賜福，還要賜福到永遠。」

xiàn zài nǐ xǐ yuè cì fú yǔ pú rén de jiā ， kě yǐ yǒng cún zài nǐ miàn qián 。 yē hé huá a ， nǐ yǐ jīng cì fú ， hái yào cì fú dào yǒng yuǎn 。」

Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, LORD, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
