2 Samuelova 12
1 Jahve posla proroka Natana k Davidu. On uđe k njemu i reče mu: “U nekom gradu živjela dva čovjeka, jedan bogat, a drugi siromašan.
Then the LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he arrived, he said, “There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.
2 Bogati imaše ovaca i goveda u obilju.
The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,
3 A siromah nemaše ništa, osim jedne jedine ovčice koju bijaše kupio. Hranio ju je i ona je rasla kraj njega i s njegovom djecom; jela je od njegova zalogaja, pila iz njegove čaše; spavala ja na njegovu krilu: bila mu je kao kći.
but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms and was like a daughter to him.
4 I dođe putnik k bogatom čovjeku, a njemu bilo žao uzeti od svojih ovaca ili goveda da zgotovi gostu koji mu je došao. On ukrade ovčicu siromaha i zgotovi je za svog pohodnika.”
Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.”
5 Tada David planu žestokim gnjevom na toga čovjeka i reče Natanu: “Tako mi živog Jahve, smrt je zaslužio čovjek koji je to učinio!
David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan: “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die!
6 Četverostruko će naknaditi ovcu zato što je učinio to djelo i što nije znao milosrđa!”
Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”
7 Tada Natan reče Davidu: “Ti si taj čovjek! Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Ja sam te pomazao za kralja nad Izraelom, ja sam te izbavio iz Šaulove ruke.
Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
8 Predao sam ti kuću tvoga gospodara, položio sam žene tvoga gospodara na tvoje krilo, dao sam ti dom Izraelov i dom Judin; a ako to nije dosta, dodat ću ti još ovo ili ono.
I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.
9 Zašto si prezreo Jahvu i učinio ono što je zlo u njegovim očima? Ubio si mačem Uriju Hetita, a njegovu si ženu uzeo za svoju ženu. Jest, njega si ubio mačem Amonaca.
Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.
10 Zato se neće nikada više okrenuti mač od tvoga doma, jer si me prezreo i jer si uzeo ženu Urije Hetita da ti bude žena.'
Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
11 Ovako govori Jahve: 'Evo ja ću podići na te zlo iz tvoga doma. Uzet ću tvoje žene ispred tvojih očiju i dat ću ih tvome bližnjemu, koji će spavati s tvojim ženama na vidiku ovome suncu.
This is what the LORD says: ‘I will raise up adversity against you from your own house. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to another, and he will lie with them in broad daylight.
12 Ti si doduše radio tajno, ali ja ću ovu prijetnju izvršiti pred svim Izraelom i pred ovim suncem!'”
You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
13 Tada David reče Natanu: “Sagriješio sam protiv Jahve!” A Natan odvrati Davidu: “Jahve ti oprašta tvoj grijeh: nećeš umrijeti.
Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die.
14 Ali jer si tim djelom prezreo Jahvu, neminovno će umrijeti dijete koje ti se rodilo!”
Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.”
15 Potom Natan ode svojoj kući. A Jahve udari dijete koje je Urijina žena rodila Davidu i ono se teško razbolje.
After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.
16 David se molitvom obrati Bogu za dijete: postio je, vraćao se kući i ležao preko noći na goloj zemlji, pokriven vrećom.
David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
17 A starješine njegova doma stajahu oko njega da ga podignu sa zemlje, ali on ne htjede i ne okusi s njima nikakva jela.
The elders of his household stood beside him to help him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.
18 A sedmi dan umrije dijete. Davidovi dvorani ne usudiše se javiti mu da je dijete umrlo. Jer mišljahu: “Dok je dijete bilo živo, govorili smo mu, a on nas nije htio slušati. A kako ćemo mu kazati da je dijete umrlo? Učinit će zlo!”
On the seventh day the child died. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us. So how can we tell him the child is dead? He may even harm himself.”
19 A David opazi da njegovi dvorani šapću među sobom i on shvati da je dijete umrlo. I upita David svoje dvorane: “Je li dijete umrlo?” A oni odgovoriše: “Umrlo je.”
When David saw that his servants were whispering to one another, he perceived that the child was dead. So he asked his servants, “Is the child dead?” “He is dead,” they replied.
20 Tada David usta sa zemlje, okupa se, pomaza se i preobuče se u druge haljine. Zatim uđe u Dom Jahvin i pokloni se. Vrativši se potom svojoj kući, zatraži da mu dadu jela; i jeo je.
Then David got up from the ground, washed and anointed himself, changed his clothes, and went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they set food before him, and he ate.
21 A njegovi dvorani upitaše ga: “Što to radiš? Dok je dijete bilo živo, postio si i plakao; a sada, kad je dijete umrlo, ustaješ i jedeš!”
“What is this you have done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.”
22 A on odgovori: “Dok je dijete bilo živo, postio sam i plakao jer sam mislio: 'Tko zna? Jahve će se možda smilovati na me i dijete će ostati živo!'
David answered, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.’
23 A sada, kad je umrlo, čemu da postim? Mogu li ga vratiti? Ja ću otići k njemu, ali se ono neće vratiti k meni!”
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
24 Potom David utješi svoju ženu Bat-Šebu. Dođe k njoj i leže s njom. Ona zatrudnje i rodi sina komu nadjenu ime Salomon. Jahve ga zamilova
Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. So she gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved the child
25 i objavi to po proroku Natanu. Ovaj ga nazva imenom Jedidja, po riječi Jahvinoj.
and sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah because the LORD loved him.
26 Joab navali na Rabu sinova Amonovih i osvoji kraljevski grad.
Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.
27 Tada Joab posla glasnika k Davidu s porukom: “Ja sam navalio na Rabu i osvojio grad uz vodu.
Then Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured the water supply of the city.
28 Sada ti saberi ostalu vojsku, opkoli grad i osvoji ga, da ne bih ja osvojio grada i dao mu svoje ime.”
Now, therefore, assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the city, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and it will be named after me.”
29 I skupi David svu vojsku, krenu na Rabu, navali na grad i zauze ga.
So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; and he fought against it and captured it.
30 Ondje skinu s Malkomove glave krunu, koja bijaše teška jedan zlatni talenat; u njoj je bio dragi kamen, koji posta ures na Davidovoj glavi. I vrlo bogat plijen odnese iz grada.
Then he took the crown from the head of their king. It weighed a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
31 A narod koji bijaše u njemu izvede i stavi ga da radi kod pila, željeznim pijucima i željeznim sjekirama i upotrijebi ga za rad u ciglanama. I tako je isto činio svim gradovima sinova Amonovih. Potom se David sa svom vojskom vrati u Jeruzalem.
David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he made them work at the brick kilns. He did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
