2 Samuel 7
1 Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;
Pripetilo se je, ko je kralj sedel v svoji hiši in mu je vsenaokrog Gospod dal počitek, od vseh njegovih sovražnikov,
2 The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.
da je kralj rekel preroku Natánu: »Poglej torej, jaz prebivam v cedrovi hiši, toda Božja skrinja prebiva znotraj zaves.«
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.
Natán je rekel kralju: »Pojdi, stori vse, kar je v tvojem srcu, kajti Gospod je s teboj.«
4 Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
To noč pa se je pripetilo, da je beseda od Gospoda prišla Natánu, rekoč:
5 Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?
»Pojdi in povej mojemu služabniku Davidu: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Mar mi boš zgradil hišo, da prebivam v njej?
6 For from the day when I took the children of Israel up out of Egypt till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from place to place in a tent.
Medtem ko nisem prebival v katerikoli hiši od časa, ko sem Izraelove otroke privedel iz Egipta, celo do tega dne, temveč sem hodil v šotoru in v šotorskem svetišču.
7 In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?
Na vseh krajih, kjer sem hodil z vsemi Izraelovimi otroki, sem mar govoril besedo s katerimkoli izmed Izraelovih rodov, ki sem jim zapovedal, naj pasejo moje ljudstvo Izraela, rekoč: ›Zakaj mi ne zgradite cedrove hiše?‹
8 Then say these words to my servant David, The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping the sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people, over my people Israel:
Sedaj boš torej tako rekel mojemu služabniku Davidu: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Vzel sem te iz ovčje staje, od sledenja za ovcami, da bi bil vladar nad mojim ljudstvom, nad Izraelom.
9 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 great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.
In bil sem s teboj kamorkoli si šel in odsekal sem vse tvoje sovražnike izpred tvojega pogleda in naredil sem ti veliko ime, podobno imenu velikih mož, ki so na zemlji.
10 And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be living in the place which is theirs, and never again be moved; and never again will they be troubled by evil men as they were at the first,
Poleg tega bom določil kraj za svoje ljudstvo Izrael in jih zasadil, da bodo lahko prebivali na svojem lastnem kraju in se ne bodo več selili; niti jih otroci zlobnosti ne bodo več stiskali kakor poprej
11 From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will give you peace from all who are against you. And the Lord says to you that he will make you the head of a line of kings.
in kot že od časa, ko sem sodnikom zapovedal, naj bodo nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom in sem ti dal, da počivaš pred vsemi svojimi sovražniki.‹ In Gospod ti tudi govori, da ti bo naredil hišo.
12 And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.
Ko bodo tvoji dnevi izpolnjeni in boš zaspal s svojimi očeti, bom postavil tvoje seme za teboj, ki bo izšlo iz tvoje notranjosti in jaz bom osnoval njegovo kraljestvo.
13 He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.
On bo zgradil hišo mojemu imenu in jaz bom na veke osnoval prestol njegovega kraljestva.
14 I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;
Jaz bom njegov oče in on bo moj sin. Če stori krivičnost, ga bom karal s človeško šibo in z udarci človeških otrok,
15 But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.
toda moje usmiljenje ne bo odšlo proč od njega, kakor sem ga vzel od Savla, ki sem ga odstranil pred teboj.
16 And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.
Tvoja hiša in tvoje kraljestvo bo pred teboj osnovano na veke. Tvoj prestol bo osnovan na veke.‹«
17 So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.
Glede na vse te besede in glede na vse to videnje, tako je Natán govoril Davidu.
18 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?
Potem je vstopil kralj David in se usedel pred Gospodom ter rekel: »Kdo sem jaz, oh Gospod Bog? In kaj je moja hiša, da si me privedel do tu?
19 And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!
In to je bila še majhna stvar v tvojem pogledu, oh Gospod Bog, toda govoril si tudi o hiši tvojega služabnika za oddaljeni čas, ki pride. Ali je to človeški način, oh Gospod Bog?
20 What more may David say to you? for you have knowledge of your servant, O Lord God.
Kaj ti še lahko reče David? Kajti ti, Gospod Bog, poznaš svojega služabnika.
21 Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.
Zaradi svojih besed in glede na svoje lastno srce si storil vse te velike stvari, da pripraviš svojega služabnika, da jih pozna.
22 Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.
Zakaj ti si velik, oh Gospod Bog, kajti nikogar ni podobnega tebi niti ni nobenega Boga poleg tebe, glede na vse, kar smo slišali z svojimi ušesi.
23 And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?
In kateri narod na zemlji je podoben tvojemu ljudstvu, celó podoben Izraelu, ki ga je Bog odšel odkupit za svoje ljudstvo in da mu naredi ime in da za vas stori velike stvari in strašne, za tvojo deželo, pred tvojim ljudstvom, ki si ga iz Egipta odkupil k sebi, pred narodi in njihovimi bogovi?
24 But you took and made strong for yourself your people Israel, to be your people for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.
Kajti ti si si potrdil svoje ljudstvo Izrael, da ti bo ljudstvo na veke, in ti, Gospod, si postal njihov Bog.
25 And now, O Lord God, may the word which you have said about your servant and about his family, be made certain for ever, and may you do as you have said!
Sedaj, oh Gospod Bog, beseda, ki si jo spregovoril glede svojega služabnika in glede svoje hiše, utrdi jo na veke in stôri, kakor si rekel.
26 And let your name be made great for ever, and let men say, The Lord of armies is God over Israel: and let the family of David your servant be made strong before you!
Tvoje ime naj bo poveličano na veke, rekoč: › Gospod nad bojevniki je Bog nad Izraelom in hiša tvojega služabnika Davida naj bo osnovana pred teboj.‹
27 For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.
Kajti ti, oh Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, si razodel svojemu služabniku, rekoč: ›Zgradil ti bom hišo.‹ Zato je tvoj služabnik odkril v svojem srcu, da k tebi moli to molitev.
28 And now, O Lord God, you are God and your words are true and you have said you will give your servant this good thing;
In sedaj, oh Gospod Bog, ti si ta Bog in tvoje besede so resnične in svojemu služabniku si obljubil to dobroto,
29 So may it be your pleasure to give your blessing to the family of your servant, so that it may go on for ever before you: (for you, O Lord God, have said it, ) and may your blessing be on your servant's family line for ever!
zato naj ti sedaj ugaja, da blagosloviš hišo svojega služabnika, da bo ta lahko na veke trajala pred teboj, kajti ti, oh Gospod Bog, si to govoril in s tvojim blagoslovom naj bo hiša tvojega služabnika blagoslovljena na veke.«
