1 Chronicles 17

1 Nowe afterward when Dauid dwelt in his house, he saide to Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, I dwell in an house of cedar trees, but the Arke of the Lordes couenant remaineth vnder curtaines.

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 Then Nathan said to Dauid, Do all that is in thine heart: for God is with thee.

Natan odgovori Davidu: “Što ti je god na srcu, čini, jer je Bog s tobom.”

3 And the same night euen the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Božja riječ:

4 Goe, and tell Dauid my seruant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not buylde me an house to dwell in:

“Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ti mi nećeš sagraditi kuće da prebivam u njoj.

5 For I haue dwelt in no house, since the day that I brought out the childre of Israel vnto this daye, but I haue bene from tent to tent, and from habitation to habitation.

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 Wheresoeuer I haue walked with all Israel spake I one word to any of the iudges of Israel (whome I commanded to feede my people) saying, Why haue ye not built mee an house of cedar trees?

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 Nowe therefore thus shalt thou say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I tooke thee from the sheepecoat and from following the sheepe, that thou shouldest bee a prince ouer 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 haue bene with thee whithersoeuer thou hast walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and haue made thee a name, like the name of the great men that are in 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 (Also I will appoynt a place for my people Israel, and will plant it, that they may dwell in their place, and moue no more: neither shall the wicked people vexe them any more, as at the beginning,

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 And since the time that I commanded iudges ouer my people Israel) And I wil subdue all thine enemies: therefore I say vnto thee, that the Lord wil buylde thee an house.

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 thy dayes shalbe fulfilled to go with thy fathers, then will I rayse vp thy seede after thee, which shalbe of thy sonnes, and will stablish his kingdome.

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 shall builde me an house, and I will stablish his throne for euer.

On će mi sagraditi dom, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.

13 I wil be his father, and he shalbe my sonne, aud I will not take my mercie away from him, as I tooke it from him that was before thee.

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 wil establish him in mine house, and in my kingdome for euer, and his throne shalbe stablished for euer,

Utvrdit ću ga u svojem domu i u svom kraljevstvu zauvijek, i prijestolje će mu čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'”

15 According to all these wordes, and according to al this vision. So Nathan spake to Dauid.

Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.

16 And Dauid the King went in and sate before the Lord and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

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 Yet thou esteeming this a small thing, O God, hast also spoken concerning the house of thy seruaut for a great while, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of hie degree, 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 can Dauid desire more of thee for the honour of thy seruant? for thou knowest thy seruant.

Pa što da ti još David govori o slavi tvoga sluge; tÓa ti poznaješ svoga slugu!

19 O Lord, for thy seruantes sake, euen according to thine heart hast thou done all this great thing to declare all magnificence.

Jahve, radi svoga sluge i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.

20 Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we haue heard with our eares.

Jahve, nema takvoga kakav si ti, niti ima Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.

21 Moreouer what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whose God went to redeeme them to be his people, and to make thy selfe a Name, and to doe great and terrible things by casting out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast deliuered 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 thou hast ordeined thy people Israel to be thine owne people for euer, and thou Lord art become their God.

Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.

23 Therefore nowe Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and concerning his house, be confirmed for euer, and doe as thou hast sayd,

Zato sada, Jahve, neka bude čvrsta dovijeka riječ koju si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.

24 And let thy name be stable and magnified for euer, that it may be sayd, The Lord of hostes, God of Israel, is the God of Israel, and let the house of Dauid thy seruant bee stablished before thee.

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 thou, O my God, hast reueiled vnto the eare of thy seruant, that thou wilt builde him an house: therefore thy seruant hath bene bolde to pray before thee.

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 Therefore nowe Lord (for thou art God, and hast spoken this goodnesse vnto thy seruant)

Uistinu, Jahve, ti si Bog i ti si ovo lijepo obećanje dao svome sluzi.

27 Now therfore, it hath pleased thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may bee before thee for euer: for thou, O Lord, hast blessed it, and it shalbe blessed for euer.

Zato se sada udostoj blagosloviti dom svoga sluge da ostane dovijeka pred tobom, jer kad ti, Jahve, blagosloviš, bit će blagoslovljen zasvagda.”
