大衛立意為耶和華建殿
God’s Promise to David
第七章 2 Samuel 7
1.王住在自己宮中，耶和華使他安靖，不被四圍的仇敵擾亂。
After the king was settled in his palace and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him,
2.那時，王對先知拿單說：「看哪，我住在香柏木的宮中， 神的約櫃反在幔子裏。」
he said to Nathan the prophet, 「Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.」
3.拿單對王說：「你可以照你的心意而行，因為耶和華與你同在。」
Nathan replied to the king, 「Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the LORD is with you.」
4.當夜，耶和華的話臨到拿單說：
But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying:
5.「你去告訴我僕人大衛說，耶和華如此說：『你豈可建造殿宇給我居住呢？
「Go and tell my servant David, 『This is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in?
6.自從我領以色列人出埃及直到今日，我未曾住過殿宇，常在會幕和帳幕中行走。
I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling.
7.凡我同以色列人所走的地方，我何曾向以色列一支派的士師，就是我吩咐牧養我民以色列的說：你們為何不給我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？』
Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, 「Why have you not built me a house of cedar?」』
8.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。
「Now then, tell my servant David, 『This is what the LORD Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel.
9.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。
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth.
10.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，
And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning
11.並不像我命士師治理我民以色列的時候一樣。我必使你安靖，不被一切仇敵擾亂，並且我耶和華應許你，必為你建立家室。
and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[a] over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. 「『The LORD declares to you that the LORD himself will establish a house for you:

12.你壽數滿足、與你列祖同睡的時候，我必使你的後裔接續你的位，我也必堅定他的國。
When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom.
13.他必為我的名建造殿宇；我必堅定他的國位，直到永遠。
He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14.我要作他的父，他要作我的子；他若犯了罪，我必用人的杖責打他，用人的鞭責罰他。
I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands.
15.但我的慈愛仍不離開他，像離開在你面前所廢棄的掃羅一樣。
But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
16.你的家和你的國必在我【原文是你】面前永遠堅立。你的國位也必堅定，直到永遠。』」
Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[b]; your throne will be established forever.』」
