撒母耳记下 2 Samuel

7:1	[hgb]	王住在自己宫中，耶和华使他安靖，不被四围的仇敌扰乱。
	[bbe]	Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;
7:2	[hgb]	那时，王对先知拿单说，看哪，我住在香柏木的宫中，神的约柜反在幔子里。
	[bbe]	The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.
7:3	[hgb]	拿单对王说，你可以照你的心意而行，因为耶和华与你同在。
	[bbe]	And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.
7:4	[hgb]	当夜，耶和华的话临到拿单说，
	[bbe]	Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
7:5	[hgb]	你去告诉我仆人大卫，说耶和华如此说，你岂可建造殿宇给我居住呢？
	[bbe]	Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?
7:6	[hgb]	自从我领以色列人出埃及直到今日，我未曾住过殿宇，常在会幕和帐幕中行走。
	[bbe]	For from the day when I took the children of Israel up out of Egypt till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from place to place in a tent.
7:7	[hgb]	凡我同以色列人所走的地方，我何曾向以色列一支派的士师，就是我吩咐牧养我民以色列的说，你们为何不给我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？
	[bbe]	In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?
7:8	[hgb]	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。
	[bbe]	Then say these words to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping the sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people, over my people Israel:
7:9	[hgb]	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。
	[bbe]	And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.
7:10	[hgb]	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，
	[bbe]	And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be living in the place which is theirs, and never again be moved; and never again will they be troubled by evil men as they were at the first,
7:11	[hgb]	并不像我命士师治理我民以色列的时候一样。我必使你安靖，不被一切仇敌扰乱，并且我耶和华应许你，必为你建立家室。
	[bbe]	From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will give you peace from all who are against you. And the Lord says to you that he will make you the head of a line of kings.
7:12	[hgb]	你寿数满足，与你列祖同睡的时候，我必使你的后裔接续你的位。我也必坚定他的国。
	[bbe]	And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.
7:13	[hgb]	他必为我的名建造殿宇。我必坚定他的国位，直到永远。
	[bbe]	He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.
7:14	[hgb]	我要作他的父，他要作我的子。他若犯了罪，我必用人的杖责打他，用人的鞭责罚他。
	[bbe]	I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;
7:15	[hgb]	但我的慈爱仍不离开他，像离开在你面前所废弃的扫罗一样。
	[bbe]	But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.
7:16	[hgb]	你的家和你的国必在我（原文作你）面前永远坚立。你的国位也必坚定，直到永远。
	[bbe]	And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.
7:17	[hgb]	拿单就按这一切话，照这默示，告诉大卫。
	[bbe]	So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.
7:18	[hgb]	于是大卫王进去，坐在耶和华面前，说，主耶和华阿，我是谁。我的家算什么。你竟使我到这地步呢？
	[bbe]	Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?
7:19	[hgb]	主耶和华阿，这在你眼中还看为小，又应许你仆人的家至于久远。主耶和华阿，这岂是人所常遇的事吗？
	[bbe]	And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!
7:20	[hgb]	主耶和华阿，我还有何言可以对你说呢？因为你知道你的仆人。
	[bbe]	What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant, O Lord God.
7:21	[hgb]	你行这大事使仆人知道，是因你所应许的话，也是照你的心意。
	[bbe]	Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.
7:22	[hgb]	主耶和华阿，你本为大，照我们耳中听见，没有可比你的。除你以外再无神。
	[bbe]	Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.
7:23	[hgb]	世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢？你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，驱逐列邦人和他们的神，显出你的大名。
	[bbe]	And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?
7:24	[hgb]	你曾坚立你的民以色列作你的子民，直到永远。你耶和华也作了他们的神。
	[bbe]	But you took and made strong for yourself your people Israel, to be your people for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.
7:25	[hgb]	耶和华神阿，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。
	[bbe]	And now, O Lord God, may the word which you have said about your servant and about his family, be made certain for ever, and may you do as you have said!
7:26	[hgb]	愿人永远尊你的名为大，说，万军之耶和华是治理以色列的神。这样，你仆人大卫的家必在你面前坚立。
	[bbe]	And let your name be made great for ever, and let men say, The Lord of armies is God over Israel: and let the family of David your servant be made strong before you!
7:27	[hgb]	万军之耶和华以色列的神阿，因你启示你的仆人说，我必为你建立家室，所以仆人大胆向你如此祈祷。
	[bbe]	For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.
7:28	[hgb]	主耶和华阿，惟有你是神。你的话是真实的。你也应许将这福气赐给仆人。
	[bbe]	And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;
7:29	[hgb]	现在求你赐福与仆人的家，可以永存在你面前。主耶和华阿，这是你所应许的。愿你永远赐福与仆人的家。
	[bbe]	So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it,) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!
