< Kings II 12 >

1 And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
И посла Господ Натана к Давиду; и он дошав к њему рече му: У једном граду беху два човека, један богат а други сиромах.
2 And the rich [man] had very many flocks and herds.
Богати имаше оваца и говеда врло много;
3 But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
А сиромах немаше ништа до једну малу овчицу, коју беше купио, и храњаше је, те одрасте уза њ и уз децу његову, и јеђаше од његовог залогаја, и из његове чаше пијаше, и на крилу му спаваше, и беше му као кћи.
4 And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.
А дође путник к богатом човеку, а њему би жао узети из својих оваца или говеда да зготови путнику који дође к њему; него узе овцу оног сиромаха, и зготови је човеку, који дође к њему.
5 And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.
Тада се Давид врло разгневи на оног човека, и рече Натану: Тако жив био Господ, заслужио је смрт онај који је то учинио.
6 And he shall restore the lamb sevenfold, because he has not spared.
И овцу нека плати учетворо, што је то учинио и није му жао било.
7 And Nathan said to David, You are the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed you to be king over Israel, and I rescued you out the hand of Saul;
Тада рече Натан Давиду: Ти си тај. Овако вели Господ Бог Израиљев: Ја сам те помазао за цара над Израиљем, и ја сам те избавио из руку Саулових.
8 and I gave you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord into your bosom, and I gave to you the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given you yet more.
И дао сам ти дом господара твог, и жене господара твог на крило твоје, дао сам ти дом Израиљев и Јудин; и ако је мало додао бих ти то и то.
9 Why have you set at nothing the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? you have slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and you have taken his wife to be your wife, and you have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
Зашто си презрео реч Господњу чинећи шта Њему није по вољи? Урију Хетејина убио си мачем и узео си жену његову себи за жену, а њега си убио мачем синова Амонових.
10 Now therefore the sword shall not depart from your house for ever, because you has set me at nothing, and you have taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be your wife.
Зато неће се одмаћи мач од дома твог довека, што си ме презрео и узео жену Урије Хетејина да ти буде жена.
11 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against you evil out of your house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and will give them to your neighbour, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
Овако вели Господ: Ево, ја ћу подигнути на те зло из дома твог, и узећу жене твоје на твоје очи, и даћу их ближњему твом, те ће спавати са женама твојим на видику свакоме.
12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.
Јер ти си учинио тајно, али ћу ја ово учинити пред свим Израиљем и сваком на видику.
13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.
Тада рече Давид Натану: Сагреших Господу. А Натан рече Давиду: и Господ је пронео грех твој; нећеш умрети.
14 Only because you have given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, your son also that is born to you shall surely die.
Али што си тим делом дао прилику непријатељима Господњим да хуле, зато ће ти умрети син који ти се родио.
15 And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord struck the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.
Потом Натан отиде својој кући. А Господ удари дете које роди жена Уријина Давиду, те се разболе на смрт.
16 And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
И Давид се мољаше Богу за дете, и пошћаше се Давид, и дошавши лежаше преко ноћи на земљи.
17 And the elders of his house arose [and went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor did he eat bread with them.
И старешине дома његовог усташе око њега да га подигну са земље, али он не хте, нити једе шта с њима.
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he listened not to our voice; and you should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do [himself] harm.
А кад би седми дан, умре дете; и не смеху слуге Давидове јавити му да је дете умрло, јер говораху: Ево, док дете беше живо, говорасмо му, па нас не хте послушати; а како ћемо му казати: Умрло је дете? Хоће га уцвелити.
19 And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.
А Давид видећи где слуге његове шапћу међу собом, досети се да је умрло дете; и рече Давид слугама својим: Је ли умрло дете? А они рекоше: Умрло је.
20 Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.
Тада Давид уста са земље, и уми се, и намаза се и преобуче се; и отиде у дом Господњи, и поклони се. Потом опет дође кући својој, и заиска да му донесу да једе; и једе.
21 And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that you have done concerning the child? while it was yet living you did fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead you did rise up, and did eat bread, and drink.
А слуге његове рекоше му: Шта то радиш? Док беше дете живо, постио си и плакао; а кад умре дете, устао си и једеш.
22 And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?
А он рече: Док дете беше живо, постио сам и плакао, јер говорах: ко зна, може се смиловати Господ на ме да дете остане живо.
23 But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
А сад умрло је; што бих постио? Могу ли га повратити? Ја ћу отићи к њему, али он неће се вратити к мени.
24 And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
Потом Давид утеши Витсавеју жену своју, и отиде к њој, и леже с њом. И она роди сина, коме наде име Соломун. И мио беше Господу.
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.
И посла Натана пророка, те му наде име Једидија, ради Господа.
26 And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
А Јоав бијући Раву синова Амонових, узе царски град.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters.
И посла посланике к Давиду, и рече: Бих Раву, и узех град на води.
28 And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.
Него сада скупи остали народ, и стани у логор према граду, и узми га, да га не бих ја узео и моје се име спомињало на њему.
29 And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.
И Давид скупивши сав народ отиде на Раву, и удари на њу, и узе је.
30 And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
И узе цару њиховом с главе круну, у којој беше таланат злата, с драгим камењем, и метнуше је на главу Давиду, и однесе из града плен врло велик.
31 And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
А народ који беше у њему изведе и метну их под пиле и под бране гвоздене и под секире гвоздене, и сагна их у пећи где се опеке пеку. И тако учини свим градовима синова Амонових. Потом се врати Давид са свим народом у Јерусалим.
