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.
The LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Bogati imaše ovaca i goveda u obilju.
The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
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 little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, 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.”
A traveller came to the rich man, and he didn’t want to take of his own flock and of his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had 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!
David’s anger burnt hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
6 Četverostruko će naknaditi ovcu zato što je učinio to djelo i što nije znao milosrđa!”
He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and because he had no pity!”
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! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you 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.
I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more 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.
Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword 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 sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your 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.
“This is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbour, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Ti si doduše radio tajno, ali ja ću ovu prijetnju izvršiti pred svim Izraelom i pred ovim suncem!'”
For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
13 Tada David reče Natanu: “Sagriješio sam protiv Jahve!” A Natan odvrati Davidu: “Jahve ti oprašta tvoj grijeh: nećeš umrijeti.
David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14 Ali jer si tim djelom prezreo Jahvu, neminovno će umrijeti dijete koje ti se rodilo!”
However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is 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.
Then Nathan departed to his house. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
16 David se molitvom obrati Bogu za dijete: postio je, vraćao se kući i ležao preko noći na goloj zemlji, pokriven vrećom.
David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night 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 house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread 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. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
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 together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “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 arose from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshipped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread 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!”
Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
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!'
He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may 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 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
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. The LORD loved him;
25 i objavi to po proroku Natanu. Ovaj ga nazva imenom Jedidja, po riječi Jahvinoj.
and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD’s sake.
26 Joab navali na Rabu sinova Amonovih i osvoji kraljevski grad.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Tada Joab posla glasnika k Davidu s porukom: “Ja sam navalio na Rabu i osvojio grad uz vodu.
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city 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 encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”
29 I skupi David svu vojsku, krenu na Rabu, navali na grad i zauze ga.
David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took 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.
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of 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.
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them go to the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
