Divrey Hayamim Alef 17:11-24 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. And it shall come to pass, when thy yamim are expired that thou must go to be with Avoteicha, that I will raise up thy zera after thee, which shall be of thy banim; and I will establish his Malchut ([Messianic] Kingdom).

12. He shall build for Me a Bais, and I will establish his kisse ad olam.

13. I will be his Av, and he shall be My Ben [HaElohim]; and I will not take My chesed away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee,

14. But I will set him in Mine Bais and in My Malchut ad olam, and his kisse shall be established ad olam.

15. According to all these devarim, and according to all this chazon (revelation), so did Natan speak unto Dovid.

16. And Dovid HaMelech came and sat before Hashem, and said, Who am I, Hashem Elohim, and what is mine bais, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?

17. And as if this were not sufficient in Thine eyes, O Elohim, Thou hast also spoken of Bais Avdecha in the future afar off, and hast regarded me according to the estate of ha'adam hama'alah (the man of high degree), O Hashem Elohim.

18. What more can Dovid speak to Thee regarding the kavod of Thy eved? For Thou hast da'as of Thy eved.

19. Hashem, for the sake of Thy eved, and according to Thine own lev (heart, will), hast Thou done all this gedullah (greatness), in making known kol hagedulot (all great things).

20. Hashem, there is none like Thee, neither is there any Elohim zulah (besides) Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

21. And what one goy (nation) in ha'aretz is like Thy people Yisroel, whom HaElohim went to redeem to be His own people, to make for Thee Shem Gedullot and Nora'ot, by driving out Goyim from before Thy people whom Thou hast redeemed out of Mitzrayim?

22. For Thy people Yisroel didst Thou make Thine own people ad olam; Thou Hashem, became their Elohim.

23. Therefore now, Hashem, let the davar that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy eved and concerning his Bais be established ad olam, and do as Thou hast said.

24. Let it even be established, that Thy Shem may be magnified ad olam, saying, Hashem Tzva'os is Elohei Yisroel, even Elohim to Yisroel; let Bais Dovid Avdecha be established before Thee.
