* 第 17 章
* 拿单传给大卫的信息
* 拿单传给大卫的信息
§2
* 代上17:1 大卫住在自己宫中，对先知拿单说：“看哪，我住在香柏木的宫中，耶和华的约柜反在幔子里。”
§3
*Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.
§4
* 代上17:2 拿单对大卫说：“你可以照你的心意而行，因为上帝与你同在。”
§5
*Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
§6
* 代上17:3 当夜，上帝的话临到拿单，说：
§7
*And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
§8
* 代上17:4 “你去告诉我仆人大卫，说耶和华如此说：‘你不可建造殿宇给我居住。
§9
*Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
§10
* 代上17:5 自从我领以色列人出埃及，直到今日，我未曾住过殿宇，乃从这会幕到那会幕，从这帐幕到那帐幕。
§11
*For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
§12
* 代上17:6 凡我同以色列人所走的地方，我何曾向以色列的一个士师，就是我吩咐牧养我民的说：你为何不给我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？’
§13
*Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
§14
* 代上17:7 现在你要告诉我仆人大卫，说万军之耶和华如此说：‘我从羊圈中将你召来，叫你不再跟从羊群，立你作我民以色列的君。
§15
*Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
§16
* 代上17:8 你无论往哪里去，我常与你同在，剪除你的一切仇敌；我必使你得大名，好像世上大大有名的人一样。
§17
*And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
§18
* 代上17:9 我必为我民以色列选定一个地方，栽培他们，使他们住自己的地方，不再迁移；凶恶之子也不像从前扰害他们，
§19
*Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
§20
* 代上17:10 并不像我命士师治理我民以色列的时候一样。我必治服你的一切仇敌，并且我耶和华应许你，必为你建立家室。
§21
*And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
§22
* 代上17:11 你寿数满足归你列祖的时候，我必使你的后裔接续你的位，我也必坚定他的国。
§23
*And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
§24
* 代上17:12 他必为我建造殿宇；我必坚定他的国位直到永远。
§25
*He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
§26
* 代上17:13 我要作他的父，他要作我的子；并不使我的慈爱离开他，像离开在你以前的扫罗一样。
§27
*I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
§28
* 代上17:14 我却要将他永远坚立在我家里和我国里；他的国位也必坚定，直到永远。’”
§29
*But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
§30
* 代上17:15 拿单就按这一切话，照这默示告诉大卫。
§31
*According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
§32
* 感恩的祷告
§33
* 代上17:16 于是大卫王进去，坐在耶和华面前，说：“耶和华上帝啊，我是谁，我的家算什么，你竟使我到这地步呢？
§34
*And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
§35
* 代上17:17 上帝啊，这在你眼中还看为小，又应许你仆人的家至于久远。耶和华上帝啊，你看顾我好像看顾高贵的人。
§36
*And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
§37
* 代上17:18 你加于仆人的尊荣，我还有何言可说呢？因为你知道你的仆人。
§38
*What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
§39
* 代上17:19 耶和华啊，你行了这大事，并且显明出来，是因你仆人的缘故，也是照你的心意。
§40
*O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
§41
* 代上17:20 耶和华啊，照我们耳中听见，没有可比你的，除你以外再无上帝。
§42
*O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
§43
* 代上17:21 世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢？你上帝从埃及救赎他们作自己的子民，又在你赎出来的民面前行大而可畏的事，驱逐列邦人，显出你的大名。
§44
*And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
§45
* 代上17:22 你使以色列人作你的子民，直到永远；你耶和华也作他们的上帝。
§46
*For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
§47
* 代上17:23 耶和华啊，你所应许仆人和仆人家的话，求你坚定，直到永远，照你所说的而行。
§48
*Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
§49
* 代上17:24 愿你的名永远坚立，被尊为大，说：‘万军之耶和华是以色列的上帝，是治理以色列的上帝。’这样，你仆人大卫的家必在你面前坚立。
§50
*Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
§51
* 代上17:25 我的上帝啊，因你启示仆人说，我必为你建立家室，所以仆人大胆在你面前祈祷。
§52
*For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
§53
* 代上17:26 耶和华啊，惟有你是上帝，你也应许将这福气赐给仆人。
§54
*And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
§55
* 代上17:27 现在你喜悦赐福与仆人的家，可以永存在你面前。耶和华啊，你已经赐福，还要赐福到永远。”
§56
*Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
