Cum autem habitaret David in domo sua, dixit ad Nathan prophetam : Ecce ego habito in domo cedrina : arca autem foederis Domini sub pellibus est.

λεγόντων κύριε κύριε παντοκράτωρ θεὸς Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ οἶκος Δαυιδ παιδός σου ἀνωρθωμένος ἐναντίον σου
Permaneatque et magnificetur nomen tuum usque in sempiternum, et dicatur : Dominus exercituum Deus Israël, et domus David servi ejus permanens coram eo.

Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’
17:25

ὅτι σύ κύριε ἤνοιξας τὸ οὖς τοῦ παιδός σου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον διὰ τοῦτο εὗρεν ὁ παῖς σου τοῦ προσεύξασθαι κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου
Tu enim, Domine Deus meus, revelasti auriculam servi tui, ut aedificares ei domum : et idcirco invenit servus tuus fiduciam, ut oret coram te.

For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

וְעַתָּ֣ה יְהֹוָ֔ה אַתָּה־ה֖וּא הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַתְּדַבֵּר֙ עַֽל־עַבְדְּךָ֔ הַטּוֹבָ֖ה הַזֹּֽאת׃
καὶ νῦν κύριε σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου τὰ ἀγαθὰ ταῦτα
Nunc ergo Domine, tu es Deus, et locutus es ad servum tuum tanta beneficia.

Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.
17:27
וְעַתָּ֗ה הוֹאַ֙לְתָּ֙ לְבָרֵךְ֙ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית עַבְדְּךָ֔ לִֽהְי֥וֹת לְעוֹלָ֖ם לְפָנֶ֑יךָ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֤ה יְהֹוָה֙ בֵּרַ֔כְתָּ וּמְבֹרָ֖ךְ לְעוֹלָֽם׃ {פ}
καὶ νῦν ἤρξω τοῦ εὐλογῆσαι τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδός σου τοῦ εἶναι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐναντίον σου ὅτι σύ κύριε εὐλόγησας καὶ εὐλόγησον εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
Et coepisti benedicere domui servi tui, ut sit semper coram te : te enim, Domine, benedicente, benedicta erit in perpetuum.

Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”
