The Second Book of Samuel 7: 1-5, 8-12, 14, 16

7:1 Teraz sa to stalo, when the king had settled in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,
7:2 he said to the prophet Nathan, “Do you not see that I live in a house of cedar, and that the ark of God has been placed in the midst of tent skins?“
7:3 And Nathan said to the king: „Choď, do all that is in your heart. For the Lord is with you.”
7:4 Ale stalo sa to v tú noc, hľa, zaznelo slovo Hospodinovo k Nátanovi, hovorí:
7:5 „Choď, a povedz môjmu služobníkovi Dávidovi: ‚Tak hovorí Pán: Keby si mi postavil dom ako príbytok?
7:8 A teraz, so shall you speak to my servant David: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pastures, from following the sheep, so that you would be the leader over my people Israel.
7:9 And I have been with you everywhere that you walked. And I have slain all your enemies before your face. And I have made you a great name, beside the name of the great ones who are upon the earth.
7:10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them, and they shall live there, and they shall no longer be disturbed. Neither shall the sons of iniquity continue to afflict them as before,
7:11 from the day when I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give rest to you from all your enemies. And the Lord foretells to you that the Lord himself will make a house for you.
7:12 A keď sa naplnia vaše dni, a budeš spať so svojimi otcami, Po tebe vychovám tvoje potomstvo, ktorý vyjde z tvojich bedier, a upevním jeho kráľovstvo.
7:14 Budem mu otcom, a bude mi synom. A ak sa dopustí nejakej neprávosti, Napravím ho ľudskou palicou a ranami ľudských synov.
7:16 A váš dom bude verný, a tvoje kráľovstvo bude pred tvojou tvárou, na večnosť, a tvoj trón bude neustále zabezpečený.‘“
