| 15 κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ὅρασιν ταύτην οὕτως ἐλάλησεν Ναθαν πρὸς Δαυιδ 16 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυιδ καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἀπέναντι κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν τίς εἰμι ἐγώ κύριε ὁ θεός καὶ τίς ὁ οἶκός μου ὅτι ἠγάπησάς με ἕως αἰῶνος 17 καὶ ἐσμικρύνθη ταῦτα ἐνώπιόν σου ὁ θεός καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδός σου ἐκ μακρῶν καὶ ἐπεῖδές με ὡς ὅρασις ἀνθρώπου καὶ ὕψωσάς με κύριε ὁ θεός 18 τί προσθήσει ἔτι Δαυιδ πρὸς σὲ τοῦ δοξάσαι καὶ σὺ τὸν δοῦλόν σου οἶδας 19 καὶ κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐποίησας τὴν πᾶσαν μεγαλωσύνην 20 κύριε οὐκ ἔστιν ὅμοιός σοι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν πλὴν σοῦ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν ἐν ὠσὶν ἡμῶν 21 καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὡς ὁ λαός σου Ισραηλ ἔθνος ἔτι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὡς ὡδήγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς τοῦ λυτρώσασθαι ἑαυτῷ λαὸν τοῦ θέσθαι ἑαυτῷ ὄνομα μέγα καὶ ἐπιφανὲς τοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου λαοῦ σου οὓς ἐλυτρώσω ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἔθνη 22 καὶ ἔδωκας τὸν λαόν σου Ισραηλ σεαυτῷ λαὸν ἕως αἰῶνος καὶ σύ κύριε αὐτοῖς εἰς θεόν |
15 All this message, all this revelation, was handed on by Nathan to king David. 16 And David went into the Lord’s presence, and betook himself to prayer: Lord God, he said, that one such as I am, sprung from such a house as mine, should receive such gifts! 17 But it was not enough, thou wouldst do more, wouldst foretell the destiny of thy servant’s line in days far hence; Lord God, thou hast honoured me as no man ever yet was honoured. 18 No words can thy servant David find; such glory thou dost grant, such favour thou dost shew him. 19 Lord, thou wilt have thy great deeds known, and it has been thy pleasure to do great things in thy servant’s behalf; 20 none is like thee, Lord, thou alone art God, read we the history of past days aright. 21 Can any other nation say, like thy people Israel, that its God came to buy it back for himself as his own people, as thou didst, in rescuing us from Egypt, in dispossessing the nations, through thy dread power, to make room for us? 22 So thou didst pledge this people of Israel to be thy people eternally, and thou, Lord, didst become their God. |
15 Juxta omnia verba hæc, et juxta universam visionem istam, sic locutus est Nathan ad David. 16 Cumque venisset rex David, et sedisset coram Domino, dixit: Quis ego sum, Domine Deus, et quæ domus mea, ut præstares mihi talia? 17 sed et hoc parum visum est in conspectu tuo, ideoque locutus es super domum servi tui etiam in futurum: et fecisti me spectabilem super omnes homines, Domine Deus. 18 Quid ultra addere potest David, cum ita glorificaveris servum tuum, et cognoveris eum? 19 Domine, propter famulum tuum juxta cor tuum fecisti omnem magnificentiam hanc, et nota esse voluisti universa magnalia. 20 Domine, non est similis tui, et non est alius deus absque te, ex omnibus quos audivimus auribus nostris. 21 Quis enim est alius, ut populus tuus Israël, gens una in terra, ad quam perrexit Deus ut liberaret et faceret populum sibi, et magnitudine sua atque terroribus ejiceret nationes a facie ejus, quem de Ægypto liberarat? 22 Et posuisti populum tuum Israël tibi in populum usque in æternum, et tu, Domine, factus es Deus ejus. |
