But the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.

πλην εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων, Αιμα πολυ εχυσας και πολεμους μεγαλους εκαμες· δεν θελεις οικοδομησει οικον εις το ονομα μου, διοτι αιματα πολλα εχυσας επι της γης ενωπιον μου·

But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
