I would have thought that you had already done more than enough for me. But now, Lord and King, you have also said what will happen to my royal house in days to come. And, my Lord and King, this promise is for a mere human being!

主耶和华啊，这在你眼中还看为小，又应许你仆人的家至于久远。主耶和华啊，这岂是人所常遇的事吗？

主耶和华啊，这在你眼中还看为小，你又说到你仆人的家将来的情况。主耶和华啊，这岂是人的常理吗？

主耶和华啊，这在你眼中还看为小，你又说到你仆人的家将来的情况。主耶和华啊，这岂是人的常理吗？

主耶和华啊，你觉得这还不够，你还要施恩赐福给你仆人的后代。主耶和华啊，这样的福分岂是常人可以得到的？

主耶和华啊，这在你眼中还看为小事，你也说到你仆人的家未来的事。主耶和华啊，这岂是人常遇到的事吗？

主耶和華啊，這在你眼中還看為小，又應許你僕人的家至於久遠。主耶和華啊，這豈是人所常遇的事嗎？

主耶和華啊，這在你眼中還看為小，你又說到你僕人的家將來的情況。主耶和華啊，這豈是人的常理嗎？

主耶和華啊，這在你眼中還看為小，你又說到你僕人的家將來的情況。主耶和華啊，這豈是人的常理嗎？

主耶和華啊，你覺得這還不夠，你還要施恩賜福給你僕人的後代。主耶和華啊，這樣的福分豈是常人可以得到的？

主耶和華啊，這在你眼中還看為小事，你也說到你僕人的家未來的事。主耶和華啊，這豈是人常遇到的事嗎？

然而主永恆主啊、這在你雖還看為小事，你仍說到你僕人家的事至於久遠：我主永恆主啊，這是人所常遇的事麼？

主耶和華啊，這在你眼中還看為小事，你竟又提說僕人家的未來！主耶和華啊，這難道是人的常例嗎？

主耶和華歟、此於爾目、猶以為小、爾又言及爾僕之家、至於久遠、主耶和華歟、此豈世人所常有乎、或作此亦為世人之例乎

曾是我主、以今所行、猶為不足、復有應許、欲昌我後、至於恆久、此豈世所常有乎。

主天主歟、此恩在主目中猶以為小、更許施恩於僕之家、至於久遠、主天主歟、世人豈有蒙主如此之恩待者乎、

And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant— and this decree, Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human!

And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God!

And now, Sovereign Lord, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! Do you deal with everyone this way, O Sovereign Lord?

What you have done so far was a little thing to you, Lord GOD, for you have also spoken about your servant’s house in the distant future. And this is a revelation for mankind, Lord GOD.

And yet this was insignificant in Your eyes, Lord God, for You have spoken also of the house of Your servant regarding the distant future. And this is the custom of mankind, Lord God.

And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord GOD; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. Is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

And this was yet a small thing in thine eyes, O Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, O Lord Jehovah!

What You have done so far was a little thing to You, Lord God, for You have also spoken about Your servant’s house in the distant future. And this is a revelation for mankind, Lord God.

And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And[ is] this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

And you didn’t stop there, O LORD God! You have also spoken about the future of your servant’s family. Is this your usual way of dealing with men, O LORD God?

This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord Yahweh!

“ My thoughts are not like your thoughts. And your ways are not like my ways,” announces the Lord.“ The heavens are higher than the earth. And my ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.

I would have thought that you had already done more than enough for me. But now, my God, you have spoken about my royal house. You have said what will happen to it in days to come. Lord God, you have treated me as if I were the most honored man of all.

How priceless your faithful love is! People find safety in the shadow of your wings.

That is what your enemies have done ever since I appointed leaders over my people Israel. But I will give you peace and rest from all of them.“‘ “I tell you that I, the Lord, will set up a royal house for you.Some day your life will come to an end. You will join the members of your family who have already died. Then I will make one of your own sons the next king after you. And I will make his kingdom secure.He is the one who will build a house where I will put my Name. I will set up the throne of his kingdom. It will last forever.I will be his father. And he will be my son. When he does what is wrong, I will use other men to beat him with rods and whips.I took my love away from Saul. I removed him from being king. You were there when I did it. But I will never take my love away from your son.Your royal house and your kingdom will last forever in my sight. Your throne will last forever.” ’ ”

And may you know his love, even though it can’t be known completely. Then you will be filled with everything God has for you.God is able to do far more than we could ever ask for or imagine. He does everything by his power that is working in us.

You have brought us up out of a land that has plenty of milk and honey. You have brought us here to kill us in this desert. Isn’t that enough? Now do you also want to act as if you were ruling over us?

The God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the community of Israel. He has brought you near him to work at the Lord’ s holy tent. He has given you to the people so that you can serve them. Isn’t all that enough for you?

He has done it to show the riches of his grace for all time to come. His grace can’t be compared with anything else. He has shown it by being kind to us. He was kind to us because of what Christ Jesus has done.

I gave you everything that belonged to your master Saul. I even put his wives into your arms. I made you king over all the people of Israel and Judah. And if all of that had not been enough for you, I would have given you even more.
