1 Chronicles 17

1 After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”

A kad David sjeðaše kod kuæe svoje, reèe David Natanu proroku: gle, ja stojim u kuæi od kedrova drveta, a kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega pod zavjesima.

2 And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”

A Natan reèe Davidu: što ti je god u srcu, èini, jer je Bog s tobom.

3 But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

Ali onu noæ doðe rijeè Božija Natanu govoreæi:

4 “Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.

Idi i reci Davidu sluzi mojemu: ovako veli Gospod: ti mi neæeš sazidati kuæe da u njoj nastavam.

5 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.

Kad nijesam nastavao u kuæi otkad izvedoh Izrailja do danas, nego sam išao od šatora do šatora i od naslona do naslona,

6 In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’

Kuda sam god hodio sa svijem Izrailjem, jesam li jednu rijeè rekao kome izmeðu sudija Izrailjevijeh kojima zapovijedah da pasu narod moj, i kazao: zašto mi ne naèinite kuæu od kedra?

7 Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.

Ovako dakle reci sluzi mojemu Davidu: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: ja te uzeh od tora, od ovaca, da budeš voð narodu mojemu Izrailju.

8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.

I bjeh s tobom kuda si god išao, i istrijebih sve neprijatelje tvoje ispred tebe, i stekoh ti ime kao što je ime velikih ljudi na zemlji.

9 And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning

I odrediæu mjesto narodu svojemu Izrailju, i posadiæu ga, te æe nastavati u svom mjestu, i neæe se više pretresati; niti æe im više dosaðivati nepravednici kao prije,

10 and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.

I od onoga dana kad sam postavio sudije nad narodom svojim Izrailjem; i pokorih sve neprijatelje tvoje; nego ti javljam da æe ti Gospod sazidati kuæu.

11 And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

I kad se navrše dani tvoji da otideš k ocima svojim, podignuæu sjeme tvoje nakon tebe, koje æe biti izmeðu sinova tvojih, i utvrdiæu carstvo njegovo.

12 He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.

On æe mi sazidati dom, i utvrdiæu prijesto njegov dovijeka.

13 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.

Ja æu mu biti otac, i on æe mi biti sin; a milosti svoje neæu ukloniti od njega kao što sam uklonio od onoga koji bješe prije tebe.

14 But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”

Nego æu ga utvrditi u domu svom i u carstvu svom dovijeka, i prijesto æe njegov stajati dovijeka.

15 So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.

Po svijem ovijem rijeèima i po svoj ovoj utvari kaza Natan Davidu.

16 Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

Tada doðe car David i stade pred Gospodom, i reèe: ko sam ja, Gospode Bože, i šta je dom moj, te si me doveo dovde?

17 And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God, You have spoken about the future of the house of Your servant and have regarded me as a man of great distinction, O LORD God.

I to ti se èini malo, Bože, nego si govorio i za dom sluge svojega na dugo vremena, i postarao si mi se za tu slavu zakonom èovjeèijim, Gospode Bože.

18 What more can David say to You for so honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant,

Šta æe još David da ti govori o èasti sluge tvojega, kad ti znaš slugu svojega?

19 O LORD. For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed all Your greatness.

Gospode, sluge svojega radi i po srcu svojemu èiniš svu ovu veliku stvar, obznanjujuæi sve ove velike stvari.

20 O LORD, there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.

Gospode, nema takoga kakav si ti, i nema Boga osim tebe, po svemu što èusmo svojim ušima.

21 And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.

Jer koji je narod na zemlji kao tvoj narod Izrailj? radi kojega je Bog išao da ga iskupi da mu bude narod, i da steèe sebi ime velikim i strašnim djelima izgoneæi narode ispred naroda svojega, koji si iskupio iz Misira.

22 For You have made Your people Israel Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.

Jer si uèinio narod svoj Izrailja svojim narodom dovijeka; a ti si im, Gospode, Bog.

23 And now, O LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,

I tako, Gospode, rijeè koju si obrekao sluzi svojemu i domu njegovu neka bude tvrda dovijeka, i uèini kako si rekao.

24 so that Your name will be established and magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.

Neka bude tvrda, da se velièa ime tvoje dovijeka i da se govori: Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev jest Bog nad Izrailjem, i dom Davida sluge tvojega neka stoji tvrdo pred tobom.

25 For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found the courage to pray before You.

Jer si ti, Bože moj, javio sluzi svojemu da æeš mu sazidati dom, zato se sluga tvoj usudi da ti se pomoli.

26 And now, O LORD, You are God! And You have promised this goodness to Your servant.

Tako Gospode, ti si Bog, i obrekao si sluzi svojemu to dobro.

27 So now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”

Budi dakle voljan i blagoslovi dom sluge svojega da bude dovijeka pred tobom; jer kad ti, Gospode, blagosloviš, biæe blagosloven dovijeka.
