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 vnto Dauid, who came to him, and sayd vnto him, There were two men in one citie, the one riche, and the other poore.
2 Bogati imaše ovaca i goveda u obilju.
The rich man had exceeding many sheepe and oxen:
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 poore had none at all, saue one litle sheepe which he had bought, and nourished vp: and it grew vp with him, and with his children also, and did eate of his owne morsels, and dranke of his owne cup, and slept in his bosome, and was vnto him as his daughter.
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 there came a stranger vnto the rich man, who refused to take of his owne sheepe, and of his owne oxen to dresse for the stranger that was come vnto him, but tooke the poore mans sheepe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 Tada David planu žestokim gnjevom na toga čovjeka i reče Natanu: “Tako mi živog Jahve, smrt je zaslužio čovjek koji je to učinio!
Then Dauid was exceeding wroth with the man, and sayde to Nathan, As the Lord liueth, the man that hath done this thing, shall surely dye,
6 Četverostruko će naknaditi ovcu zato što je učinio to djelo i što nije znao milosrđa!”
And he shall restore the lambe foure folde, because he did this thing, and had no pitie thereof.
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 sayd to Dauid, Thou art the man. Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I anoynted thee King ouer Israel, and deliuered thee out of 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.
And gaue thee thy lordes house, and thy lords wiues into thy bosome, and gaue thee the house of Israel, and of Iudah, and would moreouer (if that had bene too litle) haue giuen thee such and such things.
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.
Wherefore hast thou despised the commandement of the Lord, to doe euill in his sight? thou hast killed Vriah the Hittite with ye sworde, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slaine him with the sworde of the children of Ammon.
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 sworde shall neuer depart from thine house, because thou hast despised me, and taken the wife of Vriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
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.
Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I will rayse vp euil against thee out of thine owne house, and will take thy wiues before thine eyes, and giue them vnto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wiues in the sight of this sunne.
12 Ti si doduše radio tajno, ali ja ću ovu prijetnju izvršiti pred svim Izraelom i pred ovim suncem!'”
For thou diddest it secretly: but I will doe this thing before all Israel, and before the sunne.
13 Tada David reče Natanu: “Sagriješio sam protiv Jahve!” A Natan odvrati Davidu: “Jahve ti oprašta tvoj grijeh: nećeš umrijeti.
Then Dauid sayde vnto Nathan, I haue sinned against the Lord. And Nathan sayde vnto Dauid, The Lord also hath put away thy sinne, thou shalt not die.
14 Ali jer si tim djelom prezreo Jahvu, neminovno će umrijeti dijete koje ti se rodilo!”
Howbeit because by this deede thou hast caused the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the childe that is borne vnto thee shall surely die.
15 Potom Natan ode svojoj kući. A Jahve udari dijete koje je Urijina žena rodila Davidu i ono se teško razbolje.
So Nathan departed vnto his house: and the Lord stroke the childe that Vriahs wife bare vnto Dauid, and it was sicke.
16 David se molitvom obrati Bogu za dijete: postio je, vraćao se kući i ležao preko noći na goloj zemlji, pokriven vrećom.
Dauid therefore besought God for the childe, and fasted and went in, and lay all night vpon the earth.
17 A starješine njegova doma stajahu oko njega da ga podignu sa zemlje, ali on ne htjede i ne okusi s njima nikakva jela.
Then the Elders of his house arose to come vnto him, and to cause him to rise from the groud: but he would not, neither did he eate meate 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!”
So on the seuenth day the child dyed: and the seruants of Dauid feared to tell him that the childe was dead: for they sayde, Beholde, while the childe was aliue, we spake vnto him, and he woulde not hearken vnto our voyce: how then shall we say vnto him, The childe is dead, to vexe him more?
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.”
But when Dauid sawe that his seruantes whispered, Dauid perceiued that the childe was dead: therefore Dauid sayde vnto his seruants, Is the childe dead? And they sayd, He is dead.
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 Dauid arose from the earth, and washed and anoynted himselfe, and changed his apparell, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped, and afterward came to his owne house, and bade that they should set bread before him, and he did eate.
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!”
Then saide his seruants vnto him, What thing is this, that thou hast done? thou diddest fast and weepe for the childe while it was aliue, but when the childe was dead, thou diddest rise vp, and eate meate.
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!'
And he sayde, While the childe was yet aliue, I fasted, and wept: for I sayde, Who can tell whether God will haue mercy on me, that the childe may liue?
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 being dead, wherefore shoulde I now fast? Can I bring him againe any more? I shall goe to him, but he shall not returne 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
And Dauid comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in vnto her, and lay with her, and she bare a sonne, and he called his name Salomon: also the Lord loued him.
25 i objavi to po proroku Natanu. Ovaj ga nazva imenom Jedidja, po riječi Jahvinoj.
For the Lord had sent by Nathan the Prophet: therefore he called his name Iedidiah, because the Lord loued him.
26 Joab navali na Rabu sinova Amonovih i osvoji kraljevski grad.
Then Ioab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and tooke the citie of the kingdome.
27 Tada Joab posla glasnika k Davidu s porukom: “Ja sam navalio na Rabu i osvojio grad uz vodu.
Therefore Ioab sent messengers to Dauid, saying, I haue fought against Rabbah, and haue taken the citie of waters.
28 Sada ti saberi ostalu vojsku, opkoli grad i osvoji ga, da ne bih ja osvojio grada i dao mu svoje ime.”
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and besiege the city, that thou mayest take it, lest the victorie be attributed to me.
29 I skupi David svu vojsku, krenu na Rabu, navali na grad i zauze ga.
So Dauid gathered al the people together, and went against Rabbah, and besieged it, and tooke 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.
And he tooke their Kings crowne from his head, (which weighed a talent of golde, with precious stones) and it was set on Dauids head: and he brought away the spoyle of the citie in exceeding great abundance.
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.
And he carryed away the people that was therein, and put them vnder sawes, and vnder yron harowes, and vnder axes of yron, and cast them into the tyle kylne: euen thus did he with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people returned vnto Ierusalem.
