1 Cuando el rey ya vivía en su casa y el Señor le había dado descanso de todos sus enemigos,
1 When the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
2 dijo al profeta Natán: Mira, yo vivo en una casa de cedro, pero el arca de Dios permanece dentro de una tienda.
2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”
3 Natán respondió al rey: Ve y haz todo lo que tienes en tu corazón, porque el Señor está contigo.
3 Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
4 Pero aquella misma noche la palabra del Señor vino a Natán:
4 That same night, Yahweh’s word came to Nathan, saying,
5 Ve y dile a mi siervo David: El Señor dice: ¿Eres tú quien me construirá una casa para que yo habite en ella?
5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
6 Desde el día en que saqué de Egipto a los hijos de Israel hasta hoy, nunca he vivido en una casa. He ido de un lugar a otro en una tienda.
6 For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 En todos los lugares por donde fui con los hijos de Israel, ¿alguna vez dije a alguno de los jueces de Israel, a quienes encargué cuidar a mi pueblo: Por qué no me han construido una casa de cedro?
7 In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
8 Ahora di a mi siervo David: El Señor de los ejércitos dice: Yo te saqué de los campos, donde cuidabas las ovejas, para hacerte gobernante de mi pueblo Israel.
8 Now therefore tell my servant David this: ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.
9 He estado contigo dondequiera que has ido y he destruido delante de ti a todos tus enemigos. Haré que tu nombre sea grande, como el de los grandes de la tierra.
9 I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are on the earth.
10 Prepararé un lugar para mi pueblo Israel y lo plantaré allí para que viva en su propio lugar sin ser molestado. Los malvados no volverán a oprimirlo como antes,
10 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 afflict them any more, as at the first,
11 desde el tiempo en que puse jueces sobre mi pueblo Israel. También te daré descanso de todos tus enemigos. Además, el Señor te anuncia que hará que de tu familia salga una línea de reyes.
11 and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.
12 Cuando llegue el tiempo de que mueras y descanses con tus antepasados, pondré después de ti a uno de tus descendientes, nacido de tu propio cuerpo, y haré firme su reino.
12 When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Él construirá una casa para mi nombre, y yo estableceré su trono para siempre.
13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 Yo seré para él un padre, y él será para mí un hijo. Si hace mal, lo corregiré con vara de hombres y con golpes humanos.
14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men;
15 Pero no retiraré de él mi misericordia como la retiré del que estuvo antes que tú.
15 but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
16 Tu familia y tu reino permanecerán para siempre delante de mí. Tu trono quedará firme para siempre.
16 Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”
17 Natán contó a David todas estas palabras y toda esta visión.
17 Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.
18 Entonces el rey David entró, se sentó delante del Señor y dijo: ¿Quién soy yo, Señor Dios, y qué es mi familia para que me hayas traído hasta aquí?
18 Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
19 Y esto te pareció poca cosa, Señor Dios, porque también has hablado del futuro lejano de la familia de tu siervo.
19 This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord Yahweh!
20 ¿Qué más puede decirte David? Tú conoces a tu siervo, Señor Dios.
20 What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.
21 Por tu palabra y conforme a tu corazón has hecho todas estas grandes cosas y se las has dado a conocer a tu siervo.
21 For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
22 Por eso eres grande, Señor Dios. No hay nadie como tú ni hay otro Dios fuera de ti, según todo lo que hemos oído.
22 Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 ¿Y qué otra nación de la tierra es como tu pueblo Israel, al que Dios fue a rescatar para hacerlo su pueblo, hacerse un nombre y realizar grandes maravillas por ellos, expulsando delante de su pueblo a una nación y a sus dioses?
23 What one nation on the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 Tú estableciste a tu pueblo Israel como tu pueblo para siempre, y tú, Señor, llegaste a ser su Dios.
24 You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
25 Ahora, Señor Dios, confirma para siempre la palabra que has dicho acerca de tu siervo y de su familia, y haz lo que has prometido.
25 “Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
26 Así tu nombre será grande para siempre, y todos dirán: El Señor de los ejércitos es Dios sobre Israel. Y la familia de tu siervo David permanecerá firme delante de ti.
26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’
27 Porque tú, Señor de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, has revelado a tu siervo: Haré que de tu familia salga una línea de reyes. Por eso tu siervo ha tenido valor para hacerte esta oración.
27 For you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
28 Ahora, Señor Dios, tú eres Dios, tus palabras son verdaderas y has prometido este bien a tu siervo.
28 “Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
29 Por favor, bendice la familia de tu siervo para que permanezca para siempre delante de ti. Tú, Señor Dios, lo has prometido, y con tu bendición la familia de tu siervo será bendecida para siempre.
29 Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And his house shall be faithful, and his kingdom even for evermore before me, and his throne shall be set up even for evermore." He who thinks this grand promise was fulfilled in Solomon greatly errs; for he attends to the saying, "He shall build me an house," but he does not attend to the saying, "His house shall be …

For there, that is, in the Book of Samuel, he says, "And if he commit iniquity I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men; but my mercy will I not take away from him," meaning by stripes the strokes of correction.

Therefore David understanding this, says in the second Book of Kings, in the passage from which we digressed to this psalm, "Thou hast spoken also for Thy servant's house for a great while to come." Therefore also a little after he says, "Now begin, and bless the house of Thy servant for evermore," etc., because the son was then about …
