2 Samuel 7

1 And it came to pass when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest round about from all his enemies,

A kad car sjeðaše kod kuæe svoje, i Gospod mu dade mir svuda unaokolo od svijeh neprijatelja njegovijeh,

2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedars, and the ark of God dwells under curtains.

Reèe car Natanu proroku: vidi, ja stojim u kuæi od kedrova drveta, a kovèeg Božji stoji pod zavjesima.

3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee.

A Natan reèe caru: šta ti je god u srcu, idi, èini, jer je Gospod s tobom.

4 And it came to pass that night that the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, saying,

Ali onu noæ doðe rijeè Gospodnja k Natanu govoreæi:

5 Go and say to my servant, to David, Thus saith Jehovah: Wilt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?

Idi i reci sluzi mojemu Davidu: ovako veli Gospod: ti li æeš mi naèiniti kuæu da u njoj nastavam?

6 For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but I went about in a tent and in a tabernacle.

Kad nijesam nastavao u kuæi otkad izvedoh sinove Izrailjeve iz Misira do danas, nego sam hodio u šatoru i u naslonu,

7 In all my going about with all the children of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?

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

8 And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel;

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

9 and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are on the earth.

I bjeh s tobom kuda si god hodio, i istrijebih sve neprijatelje tvoje ispred tebe, i stekoh ti ime veliko, kao što je ime velikijeh ljudi koji su na zemlji.

10 And I will appoint a place for my people, for Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be disturbed no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness afflict them any more, as formerly,

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

11 and since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I have given thee rest from all thine enemies; and Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house.

I od onoga dana kad postavih sudije nad narodom svojim Izrailjem; i smiriæu te od svijeh neprijatelja tvojih. Jošte ti javlja Gospod da æe ti Gospod naèiniti kuæu.

12 When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

Kad se navrše dani tvoji, i poèineš kod otaca svojih, podignuæu sjeme tvoje nakon tebe, koje æe izaæi iz utrobe tvoje, i utvrdiæu carstvo njegovo.

13 It is he who shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

On æe sazidati dom imenu mojemu, i utvrdiæu prijesto carstva njegova dovijeka.

14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men;

Ja æu mu biti otac, i on æe mi biti sin; ako uèini što zlo, karaæu ga prutom ljudskim i udarcima sinova èovjeèijih.

15 but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before thee.

Ali milost moja neæe se ukloniti od njega kao što sam je uklonio od Saula, kojega uklonih ispred tebe.

16 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made firm for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

Nego æe tvrd biti dom tvoj i carstvo tvoje dovijeka pred tobom, i prijesto æe tvoj stajati dovijeka.

17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

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

18 And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

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

19 And yet this hath been a small thing in thy sight, Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, Lord Jehovah?

Pa i to ti se još èini malo, Gospode, Gospode, nego si govorio i za dom sluge svojega na dugo vremena. Je li to zakon èovjeèji, Gospode, Gospode!

20 And what can David say more to thee? for thou, Lord Jehovah, knowest thy servant.

Ali šta æe jošte David da ti govori? ta ti znaš slugu svojega, Gospode, Gospode!

21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make thy servant know [it].

Radi rijeèi svoje i po srcu svojemu uèinio si sve ove velike stvari obznanjujuæi ih sluzi svojemu.

22 Wherefore thou art great, Jehovah Elohim; for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

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

23 And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

Jer koji je narod na zemlji kao tvoj narod Izrailj? kojega je radi Bog išao da ga iskupi da mu bude narod i da steèe sebi ime i da vam uèini velika i strašna djela u zemlji tvojoj, pred narodom tvojim, koji si iskupio sebi iz Misira, od naroda i bogova njihovijeh.

24 And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.

Jer si utvrdio sebi narod svoj Izrailja da ti bude narod dovijeka; a ti si im, Gospode, Bog.

25 And now, Jehovah Elohim, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, fulfil it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

I tako, Gospode Bože, rijeè koju si obrekao sluzi svojemu i domu njegovu, potvrdi zasvagda, i uèini kako si rekao.

26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

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

27 For thou, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

Jer si ti, Gospode nad vojskama, Bože Izrailjev, javio sluzi svojemu govoreæi: dom æu sazidati tebi. Zato sluga tvoj naðe u srcu svojem da ti se pomoli ovom molitvom.

28 And now, Lord Jehovah, thou art that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;

Tako, Gospode, Gospode, ti si Bog, i rijeèi su tvoje istina; ti si ovo dobro obrekao sluzi svojemu.

29 and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

Budi dakle voljan i blagoslovi dom sluge svojega da bude dovijeka pred tobom; jer si ti, Gospode, rekao, i tvojim æe blagoslovom biti blagosloven dom sluge tvojega dovijeka.
