1 Ljetopisa 17
1 Kad se David nastanio u dvoru, rekao je proroku Natanu: “Pogledaj! Ja, evo, stojim u dvoru od cedrovine, a Kovčeg saveza Jahvina pod zavjesama!”
And it cometh to pass as David sat in his house, that David saith unto Nathan the prophet, 'Lo, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah [is] under curtains;'
2 Natan odgovori Davidu: “Što ti je god na srcu, čini, jer je Bog s tobom.”
and Nathan saith unto David, 'All that [is] in thy heart do, for God [is] with thee.'
3 Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Božja riječ:
And it cometh to pass on that night that a word of God is unto Nathan, saying,
4 “Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ti mi nećeš sagraditi kuće da prebivam u njoj.
'Go, and thou hast said unto David My servant, Thus said Jehovah, Thou dost not build for Me the house to dwell in:
5 Nisam nikad prebivao u kući otkako sam izveo Izraela iz Egipta pa do današnjega dana, nego sam išao od šatora do šatora i od prebivališta do prebivališta.
for I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel till this day, and I am from tent unto tent: and from the tabernacle,
6 Dok sam hodio sa svim Izraelom, jesam li ijednu riječ rekao nekom od Izraelovih sudaca, kojima sam zapovjedio da budu pastiri mojem narodu, i kazao: Zašto mi ne sagradite kuću od cedrovine?'
whithersoever I have walked up and down among all Israel, a word spake I, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have ye not built for Me a house of cedars?
7 Zato sad ovo reci mome sluzi Davidu: 'Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama: Ja sam te doveo s pašnjaka, od ovaca i koza, da budeš knez nad mojim izraelskim narodom.
'And now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the habitation, from after the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel,
8 Bio sam s tobom kuda si god išao, iskorijenio sam sve tvoje neprijatelje pred tobom. Ja ću ti pribaviti veliko ime, kao što je velikaško ime na zemlji.
and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and I cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a name like the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth.
9 Odredit ću prebivalište svome izraelskom narodu i posadit ću ga da živi na svojem mjestu i da ne luta više naokolo niti da ga zlikovci muče kao prije,
'And I have prepared a place for My people Israel, and planted it, and it hath dwelt in its place, and is not troubled any more, and the sons of perverseness add not to wear it out as at first,
10 onda kad sam odredio suce nad svojim izraelskim narodom. Pokorit ću sve tvoje neprijatelje i učinit ću te velikim. Jahve će ti podići dom.
yea, even from the days that I appointed judges over My people Israel. 'And I have humbled all thine enemies, and I declare to thee that a house doth Jehovah build for thee,
11 Jer kad se ispune tvoji životni dani i dođe vrijeme da počineš kod otaca, podići ću tvoga potomka nakon tebe, koji će biti između tvojih sinova, i utvrdit ću njegovo kraljevstvo.
and it hath come to pass, when thy days have been fulfilled to go with thy fathers, that I have raised up thy seed after thee, who is of thy sons, and I have established his kingdom,
12 On će mi sagraditi dom, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.
he doth build for Me a house, and I have established his throne unto the age;
13 Ja ću njemu biti otac, a on će meni biti sin: svoje naklonosti neću odvratiti od njega, kao što sam je odvratio od tvoga prethodnika.
I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son, and My kindness I turn not aside from him as I turned it aside from him who was before thee,
14 Utvrdit ću ga u svojem domu i u svom kraljevstvu zauvijek, i prijestolje će mu čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'”
and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom unto the age, and his throne is established unto the age.'
15 Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.
16 Tada kralj David dođe i stade pred Jahvu i reče: “Tko sam ja, o Bože Jahve, i što je moj dom te si me doveo dovde?
And David the king cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, 'Who [am] I, O Jehovah God, and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 Pa i to je bilo premalo u tvojim očima, o Bože, nego si dao obećanja domu svoga sluge i za daleku budućnost i pogledao si na me kako se gleda na ugledna čovjeka, o Bože Jahve!
And this is small in Thine eyes, O God, and Thou speakest concerning the house of thy servant afar off, and hast seen me as a type of the man who is on high, O Jehovah God!
18 Pa što da ti još David govori o slavi tvoga sluge; tÓa ti poznaješ svoga slugu!
'What doth David add more unto Thee for the honour of Thy servant; and Thou Thy servant hast known.
19 Jahve, radi svoga sluge i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.
O Jehovah, for Thy servant's sake, and according to Thine own heart Thou hast done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
20 Jahve, nema takvoga kakav si ti, niti ima Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.
O Jehovah, there is none like Thee, and there is no god save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 Postoji li ijedan narod na zemlji kao tvoj izraelski narod, radi kojega je Bog išao da ga izbavi sebi za narod, da tako stečeš sebi ime velikim i strašnim čudesima, izgoneći krivobožačka plemena pred svojim narodom koji si otkupio iz Egipta?
'And who [is] as Thy people Israel, one nation in the earth whom God hath gone to ransom to Him for a people, to make for Thee a name great and fearful, to cast out from the presence of Thy people whom Thou hast ransomed out of Egypt — nations?
22 Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.
Yea, Thou dost appoint Thy people Israel to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, O Jehovah, hast been to them for God.
23 Zato sada, Jahve, neka bude čvrsta dovijeka riječ koju si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.
'And now, O Jehovah, the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, let be stedfast unto the age, and do as Thou hast spoken;
24 Neka bude čvrsta, da se veliča tvoje ime zauvijek i da se govori: Jahve nad vojskama, Izraelov Bog, jest Bog nad Izraelom, a dom tvoga sluge Davida neka stoji čvrsto pred tobom.
and let it be stedfast, and Thy name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, is God to Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee;
25 Jer si ti, moj Bože, javio uhu svoga sluge da ćeš mu podići dom, zato je tvoj sluga smogao hrabrosti da se pomoli pred tobom.
for Thou, O my God, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant — to build to him a house, therefore hath Thy servant found to pray before Thee.
26 Uistinu, Jahve, ti si Bog i ti si ovo lijepo obećanje dao svome sluzi.
'And now, Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thou speakest concerning Thy servant this goodness;
27 Zato se sada udostoj blagosloviti dom svoga sluge da ostane dovijeka pred tobom, jer kad ti, Jahve, blagosloviš, bit će blagoslovljen zasvagda.”
and now, Thou hast been pleased to bless the house of Thy servant, to be to the age before Thee; for Thou, O Jehovah, hast blessed, and it is blessed to the age.'
