 Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) : The Septuagint in English (Brenton)

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυιδ καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν Τίς εἰμι ἐγώ, κύριέ μου κύριε, καὶ τίς ὁ οἶκός μου, ὅτι ἠγάπηκάς με ἕως τούτων; David's prayer of thanksgiving. 2Sm.7.18-29David's prayer of thanksgiving. 2Sm.7.18-29 | 1.Chr.17.16-27And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that you have loved me hitherto?
καὶ κατεσμικρύνθη μικρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου, κύριέ μου κύριε, καὶ ἐλάλησας ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ δούλου σου εἰς μακράν· οὗτος δὲ ὁ νόμος τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, κύριέ μου κύριε.   Whereas I was very little before you, O Lord, my Lord, yet you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a long time to [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?
καὶ τί προσθήσει Δαυιδ ἔτι τοῦ λαλῆσαι πρὸς σέ; καὶ νῦν σὺ οἶδας τὸν δοῦλόν σου, κύριέ μου κύριε.   And what shall David yet say to you? and now you know your servant, O Lord, my Lord.
διὰ τὸν λόγον σου πεποίηκας καὶ κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐποίησας πᾶσαν τὴν μεγαλωσύνην ταύτην γνωρίσαι τῷ δούλῳ σου   And you have wrought for your servant's sake, and according to your heart you have wrought all this greatness, to make it known to your servant,
ἕνεκεν τοῦ μεγαλῦναί σε, κύριέ μου κύριε, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὡς σὺ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν θεὸς πλὴν σοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἠκούσαμεν ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ἡμῶν.   that he may magnify you, O my Lord; for there is no one like you, and there is no God, but you among all of whom we have heard with our ears.
καὶ τίς ὡς ὁ λαός σου Ισραηλ ἔθνος ἄλλο ἐν τῇ γῇ; ὡς ὡδήγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς τοῦ λυτρώσασθαι αὐτῷ λαὸν τοῦ θέσθαι σε ὄνομα τοῦ ποιῆσαι μεγαλωσύνην καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν σε ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ σου, οὗ ἐλυτρώσω σεαυτῷ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, ἔθνη καὶ σκηνώματα.   And what other nation in the earth [is] as your people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make you a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that you should cast out nations an [their] tabernacles from the presence of your people, whom you redeemed for yourself out of Egypt?
καὶ ἡτοίμασας σεαυτῷ τὸν λαόν σου Ισραηλ λαὸν ἕως αἰῶνος, καὶ σύ, κύριε, ἐγένου αὐτοῖς εἰς θεόν.   And you have prepared your people Israel for yourself to be a people for ever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
καὶ νῦν, κύριέ μου κύριε, τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἐλάλησας περὶ τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, πίστωσον ἕως αἰῶνος, κύριε παντοκράτωρ θεὲ τοῦ Ισραηλ· καὶ νῦν καθὼς ἐλάλησας,   And now, O my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which you have spoken concerning your servant and his house: and now as you have said,
μεγαλυνθείη τὸ ὄνομά σου ἕως αἰῶνος.   Let your name be magnified for ever.
κύριε παντοκράτωρ θεὸς Ισραηλ, ἀπεκάλυψας τὸ ὠτίον τοῦ δούλου σου λέγων Οἶκον οἰκοδομήσω σοι· διὰ τοῦτο εὗρεν ὁ δοῦλός σου τὴν καρδίαν ἑαυτοῦ τοῦ προσεύξασθαι πρὸς σὲ τὴν προσευχὴν ταύτην.   Almighty Lord God of Israel, you have uncovered the ear of your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore your servant has found [in] his heart to pray this prayer to you.
καὶ νῦν, κύριέ μου κύριε, σὺ εἶ ὁ θεός, καὶ οἱ λόγοι σου ἔσονται ἀληθινοί, καὶ ἐλάλησας ὑπὲρ τοῦ δούλου σου τὰ ἀγαθὰ ταῦτα·   And now, O Lord my Lord, you are God; and your words will be true, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant.
καὶ νῦν ἄρξαι καὶ εὐλόγησον τὸν οἶκον τοῦ δούλου σου τοῦ εἶναι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐνώπιόν σου, ὅτι σὺ εἶ, κύριέ μου κύριε, ἐλάλησας, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς εὐλογίας σου εὐλογηθήσεται ὁ οἶκος τοῦ δούλου σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.   And now begin and bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you; for you, O Lord, my Lord, have spoken, and the house of your servant shall be blessed with your blessing so as to continue for ever.
