KJV ⁴ And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,

VULC ⁴ Factum est autem in illa nocte : et ecce sermo Domini ad Nathan, dicens :

KJV ⁵ Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

VULC ⁵ Vade, et loquere ad servum meum David : Hæc dicit Dominus : Numquid tu ædificabis mihi domum ad habitandum ?

KJV ⁶ Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

VULC ⁶ Neque enim habitavi in domo ex die illa, qua eduxi filios Israël de terra Ægypti, usque in diem hanc : sed ambulabam in tabernaculo, et in tentorio.

KJV ⁷ In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?

VULC ⁷ Per cuncta loca quæ transivi cum omnibus filiis Israël, numquid loquens locutus sum ad unam de tribubus Israël, cui præcepi ut pasceret populum meum Israël, dicens : Quare non ædificastis mihi domum cedrinam ?

KJV ⁸ Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

VULC ⁸ Et nunc hæc dices servo meo David : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Ego tuli te de pascuis sequentem greges, ut esses dux super populum meum Israël :

KJV ⁹ And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

VULC ⁹ et fui tecum in omnibus ubicumque ambulasti, et interfeci universos inimicos tuos a facie tua : fecique tibi nomen grande, juxta nomen magnorum qui sunt in terra.

KJV ¹⁰ Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

VULC ¹⁰ Et ponam locum populo meo Israël, et plantabo eum, et habitabit sub eo, et non turbabitur amplius : nec addent filii iniquitatis ut affligant eum sicut prius,

KJV ¹¹ And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

VULC ¹¹ ex die qua constitui judices super populum meum Israël : et requiem dabo tibi ab omnibus inimicis tuis : prædicitque tibi Dominus quod domum faciat tibi Dominus.

KJV ¹² And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

VULC ¹² Cumque completi fuerint dies tui, et dormieris cum patribus tuis, suscitabo semen tuum post te, quod egredietur de utero tuo, et firmabo regnum ejus.

KJV ¹³ He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

VULC ¹³ Ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo, et stabiliam thronum regni ejus usque in sempiternum.

KJV ¹⁴ I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

VULC ¹⁴ Ego ero ei in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium : qui si inique aliquid gesserit, arguam eum in virga virorum, et in plagis filiorum hominum.

KJV ¹⁵ But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

VULC ¹⁵ Misericordiam autem meam non auferam ab eo, sicut abstuli a Saul, quem amovi a facie mea.

KJV ¹⁶ And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

VULC ¹⁶ Et fidelis erit domus tua, et regnum tuum usque in æternum ante faciem tuam, et thronus tuus erit firmus jugiter.

KJV ¹⁷ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

VULC ¹⁷ Secundum omnia verba hæc, et juxta universam visionem istam, sic locutus est Nathan ad David.
