WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Now when David was living in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, See, I am living in a house of cedar-wood, but the ark of the Lord's agreement is under the curtains of a tent.

1 Y ACONTECIÓ que morando David en su casa, dijo David al profeta Nathán: He aquí yo habito en casa de cedro, y el arca del pacto de Jehová debajo de cortinas.

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

2 And Nathan said to David, Do whatever is in your heart, for God is with you.

2 Y Nathán dijo á David: Haz todo lo que está en tu corazón, porque Dios es contigo.

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

3 But that same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

3 En aquella misma noche fué palabra de Dios á Nathán, diciendo:

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

4 Go and say to David my servant, The Lord says, You are not to make me a house for my living-place:

4 Ve y di á David mi siervo: Así ha dicho Jehová: Tú no me edificarás casa en que habite:

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

5 For from the day when I took Israel up, till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from tent to tent, and from living-place to living-place.

5 Porque no he habitado en casa [alguna] desde el día que saqué á los hijos de Israel hasta hoy; antes estuve de tienda en tienda, y de tabernáculo [en tabernáculo].

5 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.

6 In all the places where I have gone with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I made the keepers of my people, Why have you not made for me a house of cedar?

6 En todo cuanto anduve con todo Israel ¿hablé una palabra á alguno de los jueces de Israel, á los cuales mandé que apacentasen mi pueblo, para decirles: Por qué no me edificáis una casa de cedro?

6 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?’”’

7 So now, say to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people Israel;

7 Por tanto, ahora dirás á mi siervo David: Así dijo Jehová de los ejércitos: Yo te tomé de la majada, de detrás del ganado, para que fueses príncipe sobre mi pueblo Israel;

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

8 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 like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

8 Y he sido contigo en todo cuanto has andado, y he talado á todos tus enemigos de delante de ti, y hete hecho grande nombre, como el nombre de los grandes que son en la tierra.

8 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 on the earth.

9 And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be in the place which is theirs and never again be moved; and never again will they be made waste by evil men, as they were at first,

9 Asimismo he dispuesto lugar á mi pueblo Israel, y lo he plantado para que habite por sí, y que no sea más conmovido: ni los hijos de iniquidad lo consumirán más, como antes,

9 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,

10 From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will overcome all those who are against you; and I will make you great and the head of a line of kings.

10 Y desde el tiempo que puse los jueces sobre mi pueblo Israel; mas humillaré á todos tus enemigos. Hágote además saber que Jehová te ha de edificar casa.

10 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 Yahweh will build you a house.

11 And when the time comes for you to go to your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.

11 Y será que, cuando tus días fueren cumplidos para irte con tus padres, levantaré tu simiente después de ti, la cual será de tus hijos, y afirmaré su reino.

11 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.

12 He will be the builder of my house, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

12 El me edificará casa, y yo confirmaré su trono eternalmente.

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

13 I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you;

13 Yo le seré por padre, y él me será por hijo: y no quitaré de él mi misericordia, como la quité de aquel que fué antes de ti;

13 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;

14 But I will make his place in my house and in my kingdom certain for ever; and the seat of his authority will never be overturned.

14 Mas yo lo confirmaré en mi casa y en mi reino eternalmente; y su trono será firme para siempre.

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

15 So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

15 Conforme á todas estas palabras, y conforme á toda esta visión, así habló Nathán á David.

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

16 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?

16 Y entró el rey David, y estuvo delante de Jehová, y dijo: Jehová Dios, ¿quién soy yo, y cuál es mi casa, que me has traído hasta este lugar?

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

17 And this was only a small thing to you, O God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, looking on me as on one of high position, O Lord God.

17 Y aun esto, oh Dios, te ha parecido poco, pues que has hablado de la casa de tu siervo para más lejos, y me has mirado como á un hombre excelente, oh Jehová Dios.

17 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, Yahweh God.

18 What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant.

18 ¿Qué más puede añadir David [pidiendo] de ti para glorificar á tu siervo? mas tú conoces á tu siervo.

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

19 O Lord, because of your servant, and from your heart, you have done all these great things and let them be seen.

19 Oh Jehová, por amor de tu siervo y según tu corazón, has hecho toda esta grandeza, para hacer notorias todas [tus] grandezas.

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

20 O Lord, there is no one like you, and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

20 Jehová, no hay semejante á ti, ni hay Dios sino tú, según todas las cosas que hemos oído con nuestros oídos.

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

21 And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, making his name great and to be feared, driving out the nations from before your people whom you made free and took out of Egypt?

21 ¿Y qué gente hay en la tierra como tu pueblo Israel, cuyo Dios fuese y se redimiera un pueblo, para hacerte nombre con grandezas y maravillas, echando las gentes de delante de tu pueblo, que tú rescataste de Egipto?

21 What one nation on 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?

22 For your people Israel you made yours for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.

22 Tú has constituído á tu pueblo Israel por pueblo tuyo para siempre; y tú, Jehová, has venido á ser su Dios.

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

23 And now, Lord, let your words about your servant and about his family be made certain for ever, and do as you have said.

23 Ahora pues, Jehová, la palabra que has hablado acerca de tu siervo y de su casa, sea firme para siempre, y haz como has dicho.

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

24 So let your words be made certain and your name be made great, when men say, The Lord of armies is the God of Israel; and when the family of David your servant is made strong before you.

24 Permanezca pues, y sea engrandecido tu nombre para siempre, á fin de que se diga: Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, es Dios para Israel. Y sea la casa de tu siervo David firme delante de ti.

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

25 For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.

25 Porque tú, Dios mío, revelaste al oído á tu siervo que le has de edificar casa; por eso ha hallado tu siervo [motivo] de orar delante de ti.

25 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.

26 And now, O Lord, you are God, and you have said you will give this good thing to your servant:

26 Ahora pues, Jehová, tú eres el Dios que has hablado de tu siervo este bien;

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

27 And now you have been pleased to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you; you, O Lord, have given your blessing, and a blessing will be on it for ever.

27 Y ahora has querido bendecir la casa de tu siervo, para que permanezca perpetuamente delante de ti: porque tú, Jehová, la has bendecido, y será bendita para siempre.

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