2 Samuelova 12
1 Protož poslal Hospodin Nátana k Davidovi. Kterýž přišed k němu, řekl jemu: Dva muži byli v městě jednom, jeden bohatý a druhý chudý.
And the Lord sent Nathan to David. And Nathan came to him and said, There were two men in the same town: one a man of great wealth, and the other a poor man.
2 Bohatý měl ovec i volů velmi mnoho,
The man of wealth had great numbers of flocks and herds;
3 Chudý pak neměl nic, kromě jednu ovečku malou, kterouž byl koupil a choval, až i odrostla při něm a při dětech jeho tolikéž. Chléb jeho jedla a z číše jeho pila, a v lůnu jeho spávala, a tak byla mu jako za dceru.
But the poor man had only one little she-lamb, which he had got and taken care of: from its birth it had been with him like one of his children; his meat was its food, and from his cup it took its drink, resting in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.
4 Když pak přišel pocestný k tomu bohatému člověku, líto mu bylo vzíti z ovcí aneb z volů svých, což by připravil pocestnému, kterýž k němu přišel, ale vzav ovečku toho chudého člověka, připravil ji muži, kterýž byl přišel k němu.
Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come.
5 Tedy rozhněval se David na muže toho náramně a řekl Nátanovi: Živť jest Hospodin, že hoden jest smrti muž, kterýž to učinil.
And David was full of wrath against that man; and he said to Nathan, By the living Lord, death is the right punishment for the man who has done this:
6 Ovečku také tu zaplatí čtvernásobně, proto že učinil věc tu, a nelitoval ho.
And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.
7 I řekl Nátan Davidovi: Ty jsi ten muž! Takto praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Já jsem tě pomazal, abys králem byl nad Izraelem, a vytrhl jsem tebe z ruky Saulovy.
And Nathan said to David, You are that man. The Lord God of Israel says, I made you king over Israel, putting holy oil on you, and I kept you safe from the hands of Saul;
8 A dal jsem tobě dům pána tvého, i ženy pána tvého v lůno tvé, dalť jsem také dům Izraelský a Judský, a bylo-liť by to málo, byl bych přidal mnohem více.
I gave you your master's daughter and your master's wives for yourself, and I gave you the daughters of Israel and Judah; and if that had not been enough, I would have given you such and such things.
9 Pročež jsi sobě zlehčil slovo Hospodinovo, čině to, což se nelíbí jemu? Uriáše Hetejského zabil jsi mečem, a manželku jeho pojals sobě za ženu, samého pak zamordoval jsi mečem Ammonitských.
Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Protož nyní neodejdeť meč z domu tvého až na věky, proto že jsi pohrdl mnou, a vzal jsi manželku Uriáše Hetejského, aby byla žena tvá.
So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
11 Takto praví Hospodin: Aj, já vzbudím proti tobě zlé z domu tvého, a vezma ženy tvé před očima tvýma, dám je bližnímu tvému, kterýž spáti bude s ženami tvými, an na to každý hledí.
The Lord says, From those of your family I will send evil against you, and before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to your neighbour, and he will take your wives to his bed by the light of this sun.
12 A ačkoli ty učinil jsi to tajně, já však učiním to zjevně přede vším Izraelem a všechněm známě.
You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun.
13 Tedy řekl David Nátanovi: Zhřešilť jsem Hospodinu. Zase řekl Nátan Davidovi: Tentýž Hospodin přenesl hřích tvůj, neumřeš.
And David said to Nathan, Great is my sin against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord has put away your sin; death will not come on you.
14 Ale však, poněvadž jsi tou věcí dal příčinu nepřátelům Hospodinovým, aby se rouhali, protož ten syn, kterýž se narodil tobě, jistotně umře.
But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.
15 Potom odšel Nátan do domu svého. V tom Hospodin ranil dítě, kteréž byla porodila manželka Uriášova Davidovi, tak že pochybili o něm.
Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.
16 I modlil se David Bohu za to dítě a postil se, a všed, ležel přes noc na zemi.
So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night.
17 A ačkoli starší domu jeho přišli k němu, aby ho zdvihli z země, on však nechtěl, aniž s nimi co jedl.
And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them.
18 Stalo se pak dne sedmého, že umřelo dítě. I nesměli služebníci Davidovi toho oznámiti jemu, že by umřelo dítě; nebo pravili: Aj, když ještě bylo dítě živo, mluvili jsme jemu, a nechtěl slyšeti hlasu našeho, což pak když jemu díme: Umřelo dítě. Ovšem to tíže ponese.
And then on the seventh day the child's death took place. And David's servants were in fear of giving him the news of the child's death: for they said, Truly, while the child was still living he gave no attention when we said anything to him: what will he do to himself if we give him word that the child is dead?
19 Ale vida David, an služebníci jeho k sobě šepcí, srozuměl, že by umřelo dítě. I řekl David služebníkům svým: Co již umřelo dítě? Kteříž řekli: Umřelo.
But when David saw that his servants were talking together quietly, he was certain that the child was dead: and he said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is.
20 Tedy vstav David s země, umyl se a pomazal se, a změnil roucho své, a všed do domu Hospodinova, pomodlil se. Potom vrátiv se do domu svého, rozkázal sobě dáti jísti a jedl.
Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal.
21 Služebníci pak jeho řekli jemu: Co jsi to učinil? Pro dítě, když živo bylo, postils se a plakal, ale jakž dítě umřelo, vstal jsi a přijal jsi pokrm.
Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal.
22 Kterýžto řekl: Pokudž ještě dítě živo bylo, postil jsem se a plakal, nebo jsem řekl: Kdo ví? Můžeť se smilovati nade mnou Hospodin, aby živo bylo dítě.
And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life?
23 Nyní pak, poněvadž umřelo, proč se mám postiti? Zdaliž budu moci zase je vzkřísiti? Jáť půjdu k němu, ale ono se nenavrátí ke mně.
But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me.
24 Potom David potěšiv Betsabé manželky své, všel k ní a spal s ní. I porodila syna, a nazval jméno jeho Šalamoun, a Hospodin miloval jej.
And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.
25 Protož poslal byl Nátana proroka, a nazval jméno jeho Jedidiah pro Hospodina.
And he sent word by Nathan the prophet, who gave him the name Jedidiah, by the word of the Lord.
26 Bojoval pak Joáb proti Rabba Ammonitských, a vzal město královské.
Now Joab was fighting against Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon, and he took the water-town.
27 A poslav posly k Davidovi, řekl: Dobýval jsem Rabba a vzal jsem město vod.
And Joab sent men to David, saying, I have made war against Rabbah and have taken the water-town.
28 Protož nyní sebera ostatek lidu, polož se proti městu a vezmi je, abych já nevzal města toho, a bylo by mně připisováno vítězství nad ním.
So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name.
29 Tedy sebrav David všecken lid, vytáhl proti Rabba, kteréhož dobýval a vzal je.
Then David got all the people together and went to Rabbah and made war on it and took it.
30 A sňal korunu krále jejich s hlavy jeho, kteráž vážila centnéř zlata, a bylo v ní kamení drahé, a vstavena byla na hlavu Davidovu. Vyvezl též kořisti města velmi veliké.
And he took the crown of Milcom from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were stones of great price; and it was put on David's head. And he took a great store of goods from the town.
31 Lid pak, kterýž v něm byl, vyvedl a dal jej pod pily a pod brány železné a pod sekery železné, a vehnal je do peci cihelné. A tak činil všechněm městům Ammonitským. Potom navrátil se David se vším lidem do Jeruzaléma.
And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and iron axes, and at brick-making: this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.
