2 Samuelova 7

1 Kad se David nastanio u svojem dvoru i kad mu je Jahve pribavio mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja unaokolo,

It happened, when the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

2 reče kralj proroku Natanu: “Pogledaj! Ja, evo, stojim u dvoru od cedrovine, a Kovčeg Božji stoji pod šatorom.”

that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains."

3 A Natan odgovori kralju: “Idi i čini sve što ti je na srcu jer je Jahve s tobom.”

Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart; for the LORD is with you."

4 Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Jahvina riječ:

It happened the same night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,

5 “Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: Ovako govori Jahve: 'Zar ćeš mi ti sagraditi kuću da u njoj prebivam?

"Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says the LORD, "Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?

6 Nisam nikad prebivao u kući otkako sam izveo iz Egipta sinove Izraelove pa do današnjega dana, nego sam bio lutalac pod šatorom i u prebivalištu.

For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.

7 Dok sam hodio sa svim Izraelovim sinovima, jesam li ijednu riječ rekao nekomu od Izraelovih sudaca kojima sam zapovjedio da budu pastiri mojem narodu izraelskom i kazao: 'Zašto mi ne sagradite kuću od cedrovine?'

In all places in which I have walked throughout Israel, did I say a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'

8 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.

Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.

9 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 have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and I will make for you a name like the name of the great ones of the earth.

10 Odredit ću prebivalište svojem izraelskom narodu, posadit ću ga da živi na svojem mjestu i da ne luta više naokolo, niti da ga zlikovci muče kao prije,

I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,

11 onda kad sam odredio suce nad svojim izraelskim narodom. Ja ću mu pribaviti mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja. Jahve će te učiniti velikim. Jahve će ti podići dom.

and from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that he will build you a house.

12 I kad se ispune tvoji dani i ti počineš kod svojih otaca, podići ću tvoga potomka nakon tebe, koji će se roditi od tvoga tijela, i utvrdit ću njegovo kraljevstvo.

And it will come about when your days are fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 On će sagraditi dom imenu mojem, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.

He will build a house for my name, and I will establish his throne forever.

14 Ja ću njemu biti otac, a on će meni biti sin: ako učini što zlo, kaznit ću ga ljudskom šibom i udarcima kako ih zadaju sinovi ljudski.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with a human rod, and with the stripes from human beings;

15 Ali svoje naklonosti neću odvratiti od njega, kao što sam je odvratio od Šaula koga sam uklonio ispred tebe.

but my loving kindness I will not take from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

16 Tvoja će kuća i tvoje kraljevstvo trajati dovijeka preda mnom, tvoje će prijestolje čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'”

And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me, and your throne shall be established forever."'"

17 Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

18 Nato kralj David uđe u šator i stade pred Jahvom i pomoli se: “Tko sam ja, Gospode Jahve, i što je moj dom te si me doveo dovde?

Then king David went in and sat before the LORD and said, "Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

19 Pa i to je još premalo u tvojim očima, Gospode Jahve, te daješ svoja obećanja kući svoga sluge za daleku budućnost i gledaš na me kao na ugledna čovjeka!

This was a small thing in your eyes, my Lord, and you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and you have let me look upon the generation of humankind to come, Lord GOD.

20 Ali što bi ti David još mogao kazati, kad ti sam poznaješ svoga slugu, Gospode Jahve!

And what more can David add to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, LORD.

21 Radi svoje riječi i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.

For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

22 Zato si velik, Gospode Jahve; nema takvoga kakav si ti i nema Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.

Therefore you are great, Lord GOD. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 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 what other nation on the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for himself, and to make a name for yourself and to do great and awesome deeds by driving out before your people, whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and it's gods?

24 Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.

And you established your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.

25 Zato sada, Gospode Jahve, ispuni zauvijek obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.

And now, my Lord, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.

26 Neka se veliča tvoje ime zauvijek i neka se govori: Jahve nad vojskama jest Bog Izraelov, a dom sluge tvoga Davida neka stoji čvrsto pred tobom.

Let your name be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.

27 Jer si ti, Jahve nad vojskama, Bože Izraelov, objavio svome sluzi ovo: 'Ja ću ti podići dom.' Zato je tvoj sluga smogao hrabrosti da ti se pomoli ovom molitvom.

For you have revealed to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.

28 Uistinu, Gospode Jahve, ti si Bog, tvoje su riječi istinite i ti daješ ovo lijepo obećanje svome sluzi.

"Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.

29 Udostoj se sada blagosloviti dom svoga sluge da ostane dovijeka pred tobom. Jer kad ti, Gospode Jahve, obrekneš i blagosloviš, kuća tvoga sluge bit će blagoslovljena zasvagda.”

Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing."
