1 Once David had settled into his palace, he spoke to the prophet Nathan. “Look,” he said, “I'm living in a cedar palace while the Ark of the Lord's Agreement is kept in 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.
2 “Do what you think you should, for God is with you,” Nathan replied.
2 Y Nathán dijo á David: Haz todo lo que está en tu corazón, porque Dios es contigo.
3 But that night God told Nathan,
3 En aquella misma noche fué palabra de Dios á Nathán, diciendo:
4 “Go and talk to my servant David. Tell him, this is what the Lord says: You are not to build a house for me to live in.
4 Ve y di á David mi siervo: Así ha dicho Jehová: Tú no me edificarás casa en que habite:
5 I have not lived in a house from the time I led Israel out of Egypt until now. I have lived in tents, moving from place to 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].
6 But in all those travels with all of Israel did I ever ask any Israelite leader I'd ordered to take care of my people, ‘Why haven't you built a cedar house for me?’
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?
7 So then, go and tell my servant David this is what the Lord Almighty says. It was me who took you from the fields, from looking after sheep, to become a leader of 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;
8 I have been with you wherever you've gone. I have struck down all your enemies right in front of you, and I will make your reputation as great as the most famous people on 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.
9 I will choose a place for my people Israel. I will settle them there and they won't be disturbed anymore. Evil people won't persecute them as they used to,
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,
10 from the time I placed judges in charge of my people. I will defeat all of your enemies. Also I want to make it clear that I the Lord will build a house for you.
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.
11 For when you come to the end of your life and join your ancestors in death, I will bring to power one of your descendants, one of your sons, and make sure his kingdom is successful.
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.
12 He will be the one to build me a house, and I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever.
12 El me edificará casa, y yo confirmaré su trono eternalmente.
13 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of the one who ruled 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;
14 I will put him in charge of my house and my kingdom forever, and his dynasty will last forever.”
14 Mas yo lo confirmaré en mi casa y en mi reino eternalmente; y su trono será firme para siempre.
15 This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
15 Conforme á todas estas palabras, y conforme á toda esta visión, así habló Nathán á David.
16 Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?
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?
17 God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. You also see me as someone very important, 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.
18 What more can I, David, say to you for honoring me in this way? You know your servant all too well!
18 ¿Qué más puede añadir David [pidiendo] de ti para glorificar á tu siervo? mas tú conoces á tu siervo.
19 Lord, you're doing all this for me, your servant, and because it's what you want—doing all these amazing things and letting people know about them.
19 Oh Jehová, por amor de tu siervo y según tu corazón, has hecho toda esta grandeza, para hacer notorias todas [tus] grandezas.
20 Lord, there really is no one like you; there is no other God, only you. We have never heard about anyone else.
20 Jehová, no hay semejante á ti, ni hay Dios sino tú, según todas las cosas que hemos oído con nuestros oídos.
21 Who else is as fortunate as your people Israel? Who else on earth did God go and redeem to make his own people? You gained a wonderful reputation for yourself by all the tremendous, amazing things you did in driving out other nations before your people as you redeemed them from 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?
22 You made your people Israel your own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
22 Tú has constituído á tu pueblo Israel por pueblo tuyo para siempre; y tú, Jehová, has venido á ser su Dios.
23 So now, Lord, please ensure that what you have said about me and my house happens, and lasts forever. Please do as you have promised,
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.
24 and may your true nature be recognized and honored forever, with people declaring, ‘The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, is Israel's God!’ May the house of your servant David continue to be there in your presence.
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.
25 You, my God, have explained to me, your servant, that you will build me a house. That's why your servant has had the courage to pray 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.
26 For you, Lord, are God! You are the one who has promised all these good things to your servant.
26 Ahora pues, Jehová, tú eres el Dios que has hablado de tu siervo este bien;
27 So now, please bless your servant's house that it may continue in your presence forever. For when you bless, Lord, it is blessed forever.”
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.
