7 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

18Then King David went in and sat before Yahweh, and said, "Who am I, O Yahweh GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?David's prayer of thanksgiving. 2Sm.7.18-29 | 1.Chr.17.16-27וַיָּבֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַיֵּשֶׁב לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר מִי אָנֹכִי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וּמִי בֵיתִי כִּי הֲבִיאֹתַנִי עַד־הֲלֹם׃
19And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Yahweh GOD; you have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, O Yahweh GOD! וַתִּקְטַן עֹוד זֹאת בְּעֵינֶיךָ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וַתְּדַבֵּר גַּם אֶל־בֵּית־עַבְדְּךָ לְמֵרָחֹוק וְזֹאת תֹּורַת הָאָדָם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃
20And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Yahweh GOD! וּמַה־יֹּוסִיף דָּוִד עֹוד לְדַבֵּר אֵלֶיךָ וְאַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ אֶת־עַבְדְּךָ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃
21Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have wrought all this greatness, to make your servant know it. בַּעֲבוּר דְּבָרְךָ וּכְלִבְּךָ עָשִׂיתָ אֵת כָּל־הַגְּדוּלָּה הַזֹּאת לְהֹודִיעַ אֶת־עַבְדֶּךָ׃
22Therefore you are great, O Yahweh God; for there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. עַל־כֵּן גָּדַלְתָּ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כִּי־אֵין כָּמֹוךָ וְאֵין אֱלֹהִים זוּלָתֶךָ בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁמַעְנוּ בְּאָזְנֵינוּ׃
23What other nation on earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his people, making himself a name, and doing for them great and terrible things, by driving out before his people a nation and its gods? וּמִי כְעַמְּךָ כְּיִשְׂרָאֵל גֹּוי אֶחָד בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ־אֱלֹהִים לִפְדֹּות־לֹו לְעָם וְלָשׂוּם לֹו שֵׁם וְלַעֲשֹׂות לָכֶם הַגְּדוּלָּה וְנֹרָאֹות לְאַרְצֶךָ מִפְּנֵי עַמְּךָ אֲשֶׁר פָּדִיתָ לְּךָ מִמִּצְרַיִם גֹּויִם וֵאלֹהָיו׃
24And you established your people Israel for yourself, to be your people for ever; and you, O Yahweh, became their God. וַתְּכֹוןֵן לְךָ אֶת־עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְךָ לְעָם עַד־עֹולָם וְאַתָּה יְהוָה הָיִיתָ לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים׃ ס
25And now, O Yahweh God, confirm for ever the word which you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken; וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ עַל־עַבְדְּךָ וְעַל־בֵּיתֹו הָקֵם עַד־עֹולָם וַעֲשֵׂה כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ׃
26and your name will be magnified for ever, saying, 'Yahweh of hosts is God over Israel,' and the house of your servant David will be established before you. וְיִגְדַּל שִׁמְךָ עַד־עֹולָם לֵאמֹר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אֱלֹהִים עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבֵית עַבְדְּךָ דָוִד יִהְיֶה נָכֹון לְפָנֶיךָ׃
27For you, O Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house'; therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. כִּי־אַתָּה יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל גָּלִיתָה אֶת־אֹזֶן עַבְדְּךָ לֵאמֹר בַּיִת אֶבְנֶה־לָּךְ עַל־כֵּן מָצָא עַבְדְּךָ אֶת־לִבֹּו לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֵלֶיךָ אֶת־הַתְּפִלָּה הַזֹּאת׃
28And now, O Yahweh GOD, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant; וְעַתָּה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אַתָּה־הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים וּדְבָרֶיךָ יִהְיוּ אֱמֶת וַתְּדַבֵּר אֶל־עַבְדְּךָ אֶת־הַטֹּובָה הַזֹּאת׃
29now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you; for you have spoken, O Yahweh GOD, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed for ever." וְעַתָּה הֹואֵל וּבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּית עַבְדְּךָ לִהְיֹות לְעֹולָם לְפָנֶיךָ כִּי־אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה דִּבַּרְתָּ וּמִבִּרְכָתְךָ יְבֹרַךְ בֵּית־עַבְדְּךָ לְעֹולָם׃ ף

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
