1 Chronicles 17
1 Now when David was living in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, See, I am living in a house of cedar-wood, but the ark of the Lord's agreement is under the curtains of a tent.
Kad se David nastanio u dvoru, rekao je proroku Natanu: “Pogledaj! Ja, evo, stojim u dvoru od cedrovine, a Kovčeg saveza Jahvina pod zavjesama!”
2 And Nathan said to David, Do whatever is in your heart, for God is with you.
Natan odgovori Davidu: “Što ti je god na srcu, čini, jer je Bog s tobom.”
3 But that same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Božja riječ:
4 Go and say to David my servant, The Lord says, You are not to make me a house for my living-place:
“Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ti mi nećeš sagraditi kuće da prebivam u njoj.
5 For from the day when I took Israel up, till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from tent to tent, and from living-place to living-place.
Nisam nikad prebivao u kući otkako sam izveo Izraela iz Egipta pa do današnjega dana, nego sam išao od šatora do šatora i od prebivališta do prebivališta.
6 In all the places where I have gone with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I made the keepers of my people, Why have you not made for me a house of cedar?
Dok sam hodio sa svim Izraelom, jesam li ijednu riječ rekao nekom od Izraelovih sudaca, kojima sam zapovjedio da budu pastiri mojem narodu, i kazao: Zašto mi ne sagradite kuću od cedrovine?'
7 So now, say to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people Israel;
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.
8 And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.
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.
9 And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be in the place which is theirs and never again be moved; and never again will they be made waste by evil men, as they were at first,
Odredit ću prebivalište svome izraelskom narodu i posadit ću ga da živi na svojem mjestu i da ne luta više naokolo niti da ga zlikovci muče kao prije,
10 From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will overcome all those who are against you; and I will make you great and the head of a line of kings.
onda kad sam odredio suce nad svojim izraelskim narodom. Pokorit ću sve tvoje neprijatelje i učinit ću te velikim. Jahve će ti podići dom.
11 And when the time comes for you to go to your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.
Jer kad se ispune tvoji životni dani i dođe vrijeme da počineš kod otaca, podići ću tvoga potomka nakon tebe, koji će biti između tvojih sinova, i utvrdit ću njegovo kraljevstvo.
12 He will be the builder of my house, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.
On će mi sagraditi dom, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.
13 I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you;
Ja ću njemu biti otac, a on će meni biti sin: svoje naklonosti neću odvratiti od njega, kao što sam je odvratio od tvoga prethodnika.
14 But I will make his place in my house and in my kingdom certain for ever; and the seat of his authority will never be overturned.
Utvrdit ću ga u svojem domu i u svom kraljevstvu zauvijek, i prijestolje će mu čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'”
15 So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.
Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.
16 Then David the king went in and took his seat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have been my guide till now?
Tada kralj David dođe i stade pred Jahvu i reče: “Tko sam ja, o Bože Jahve, i što je moj dom te si me doveo dovde?
17 And this was only a small thing to you, O God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, looking on me as on one of high position, O Lord God.
Pa i to je bilo premalo u tvojim očima, o Bože, nego si dao obećanja domu svoga sluge i za daleku budućnost i pogledao si na me kako se gleda na ugledna čovjeka, o Bože Jahve!
18 What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant.
Pa što da ti još David govori o slavi tvoga sluge; tÓa ti poznaješ svoga slugu!
19 O Lord, because of your servant, and from your heart, you have done all these great things and let them be seen.
Jahve, radi svoga sluge i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.
20 O Lord, there is no one like you, and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.
Jahve, nema takvoga kakav si ti, niti ima Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.
21 And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, making his name great and to be feared, driving out the nations from before your people whom you made free and took out of Egypt?
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?
22 For your people Israel you made yours for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.
Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.
23 And now, Lord, let your words about your servant and about his family be made certain for ever, and do as you have said.
Zato sada, Jahve, neka bude čvrsta dovijeka riječ koju si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.
24 So let your words be made certain and your name be made great, when men say, The Lord of armies is the God of Israel; and when the family of David your servant is made strong before you.
Neka bude čvrsta, da se veliča tvoje ime zauvijek i da se govori: Jahve nad vojskama, Izraelov Bog, jest Bog nad Izraelom, a dom tvoga sluge Davida neka stoji čvrsto pred tobom.
25 For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.
Jer si ti, moj Bože, javio uhu svoga sluge da ćeš mu podići dom, zato je tvoj sluga smogao hrabrosti da se pomoli pred tobom.
26 And now, O Lord, you are God, and you have said you will give this good thing to your servant:
Uistinu, Jahve, ti si Bog i ti si ovo lijepo obećanje dao svome sluzi.
27 And now you have been pleased to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you; you, O Lord, have given your blessing, and a blessing will be on it for ever.
Zato se sada udostoj blagosloviti dom svoga sluge da ostane dovijeka pred tobom, jer kad ti, Jahve, blagosloviš, bit će blagoslovljen zasvagda.”
