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.
Yahweh [told the prophet Nathan what David had done, and he] sent Nathan to tell [this story to] David: “[I heard about] two men [who] were living in a certain city. One was rich and the other was poor.
2 Bogati imaše ovaca i goveda u obilju.
The rich man owned a lot of cattle and sheep.
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 only one little female lamb, which he had bought. He raised the lamb, and it grew up with his children. He would give the lamb some of his own food and let it drink from his cup. He let the lamb sleep in his arms. The lamb 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.”
[One day] a visitor came to [visit] the rich man. The rich man did not want to take one of his own animals [and kill it] to prepare a meal for the visitor. So instead, he stole the poor man’s lamb [and killed it] and prepared a meal for his visitor.”
5 Tada David planu žestokim gnjevom na toga čovjeka i reče Natanu: “Tako mi živog Jahve, smrt je zaslužio čovjek koji je to učinio!
[When] David [heard that, he] was very angry about [what] the rich man [had done]. He said to Nathan, “I solemnly declare that the man who did that should be executed!
6 Četverostruko će naknaditi ovcu zato što je učinio to djelo i što nije znao milosrđa!”
But before he is executed, he should pay back to the poor man four lambs for doing this, and for not having pity [on the poor man].”
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.
Nathan said to David, “You are the man [I have been talking about]! And this is what Yahweh, the God we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I appointed you to be king of Israel, after having rescued you from 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 you his palace and his wives. I caused you to become the king to rule Israel and Judah. If [you had told me that] you were not content with what I gave you, I would have given you twice as much!
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.
So why have you despised my commandment [about not committing adultery]? You have done what I consider to be very evil! You have arranged for Uriah to be killed in a battle by the Ammon people-group’s soldiers, and you have taken his wife to be your wife!
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.'
You have despised me, and have taken Uriah’s wife to be your wife. So for many generations some of your descendants will die violently. [MTY, PRS]
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.
I solemnly declare to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble to you. I will take your wives and give them to him, and he will have sexual relations with them in the daytime, where everyone can see it, and you will know all about it.
12 Ti si doduše radio tajno, ali ja ću ovu prijetnju izvršiti pred svim Izraelom i pred ovim suncem!'”
What you did, you did secretly, but what I will cause to happen, everyone in Israel will be able to see it [or know about it]. [IDM]’”
13 Tada David reče Natanu: “Sagriješio sam protiv Jahve!” A Natan odvrati Davidu: “Jahve ti oprašta tvoj grijeh: nećeš umrijeti.
David replied, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has forgiven you for your sin: You will not die [because of this sin].
14 Ali jer si tim djelom prezreo Jahvu, neminovno će umrijeti dijete koje ti se rodilo!”
But, you have shown contempt for Yahweh by doing this. So, your baby will die.”
15 Potom Natan ode svojoj kući. A Jahve udari dijete koje je Urijina žena rodila Davidu i ono se teško razbolje.
Then Nathan went home. Then Yahweh caused the baby t o become very sick, the one that Uriah’s wife had given birth to.
16 David se molitvom obrati Bogu za dijete: postio je, vraćao se kući i ležao preko noći na goloj zemlji, pokriven vrećom.
So David prayed to God that the child [would not die]. He (fasted/abstained from food), and he went into [the room where he slept] and lay all night on the floor.
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 next morning] his advisors stood around him and urged him to get up. But he would not get up, and he would not eat any food 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!”
One week later the baby died. David’s servants were afraid to tell that to David. They said [to each other], “Hey, while the baby was still alive, we talked to him, but he would not answer us. Now, if we tell him that the baby is dead [RHQ], he may do something to 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.”
But when David saw that his servants were whispering something to each other, he realized that the baby must be dead. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They replied, “Yes, 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 David got up from the floor. He bathed himself, put lotions on his body, and put on other clothes, Then he went into Yahweh’s Sacred Tent and worshiped Yahweh. Then he went home. He asked his servants for some food. They gave him some, and he ate it.
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 his servants said to him, “We do not understand [RHQ] why you have done this! While the baby was still alive, you cried for him and refused to eat anything. But now that the baby has died, [you are not crying any more!] You got up and ate some food!”
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 replied, “While the baby was still alive, I fasted and cried. I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may be merciful to me and not allow the baby to die’.
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 the baby is dead. So (there is no reason for me to (fast/abstain from eating food) any more./why should I (fast/abstain from eating food) any more?) [RHQ] (Can I bring him back to me?/I certainly cannot bring him back to me!) [RHQ] [Some day] I will go to where he is, 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. Then he (slept/had sexual relations) with her, and she [became pregnant again and] gave birth to another son. David named that son Solomon. Yahweh loved that little boy.
25 i objavi to po proroku Natanu. Ovaj ga nazva imenom Jedidja, po riječi Jahvinoj.
He told the prophet Nathan to tell David to name the baby boy Jedediah [which means ‘loved by Yahweh’, ] because Yahweh loved him.
26 Joab navali na Rabu sinova Amonovih i osvoji kraljevski grad.
(Meanwhile/While all that was happening), Joab’s [soldiers] attacked Rabbah, [the capital city] of the Ammon people-group; and they captured the king’s 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 tell him this: “My troops are attacking Rabbah, and we have captured the city’s water supply.
28 Sada ti saberi ostalu vojsku, opkoli grad i osvoji ga, da ne bih ja osvojio grada i dao mu svoje ime.”
Now gather your troops and come and surround the city and capture it. If you do not do that, my troops will capture the city and it will then be named ‘the City of Joab’.”
29 I skupi David svu vojsku, krenu na Rabu, navali na grad i zauze ga.
So David gathered all his troops. They went [with David] to Rabbah and attacked 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 David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of [Milcom] the god of Rabbah) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones fastened to it. His soldiers also took many other valuable things 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.
Then they brought the people of Rabbah out of the city and forced them to [work for them] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s troops also forced them to make bricks. David’s soldiers did this in all the towns of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
