1 Chronicles 17

1 And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet: 'Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD dwelleth under curtains.'

Pripetilo se je torej, medtem ko je David sedel v svoji hiši, da je David rekel preroku Natánu: »Glej, jaz prebivam v cedrovi hiši, toda skrinja Gospodove zaveze ostaja pod zavesami.«

2 And Nathan said unto David: 'Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee.'

Potem je Natán rekel Davidu: »Stôri vse, kar je v tvojem srcu, kajti Bog je s teboj.«

3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying:

Iste noči se je pripetilo, da je Božja beseda prišla k Natánu, rekoč:

4 'Go and tell David My servant: Thus saith the LORD: Thou shalt not build Me a house to dwell in;

»Pojdi in povej mojemu služabniku Davidu: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ti mi ne boš gradil hiše, da prebivam v njej,

5 for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

kajti nisem prebival v hiši od dne, ko sem Izraela privedel gor, do današnjega dne, temveč sem šel od šotora k šotoru in od enega šotorskega svetišča k drugemu.

6 In all places wherein I have walked among all Israel, spoke I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying: Why have ye not built Me a house of cedar?

Kjerkoli sem hodil z vsem Izraelom, sem mar spregovoril besedo kateremukoli izmed Izraelovih sodnikov, ki sem jim zapovedal, da pasejo moje ljudstvo, rekoč: ›Zakaj mi niste zgradili cedrove hiše?‹

7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto My servant David: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over My people Israel;

Zdaj boš torej tako povedal mojemu služabniku Davidu: ›Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Vzel sem te iz staje za ovce, celó od sledenja ovcam, da bi bil vladar nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom,

8 and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth.

in s teboj sem bil kjerkoli si hodil in pred teboj sem iztrebil vse tvoje sovražnike in ti naredil ime, podobno imenu velikih mož, ki so na zemlji.

9 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be disquieted no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,

Prav tako bom določil kraj za svoje ljudstvo Izrael in jih zasadil in bodo prebivali na svojem kraju in ne bodo več seljeni niti jih ne bodo več pustošili otroci zlobnosti kakor poprej

10 even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and I will subdue all thine enemies. Moreover I tell thee that the LORD will build thee a house.

in odkar sem zapovedal sodnikom, naj bodo nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom. Poleg tega bom podjarmil vse tvoje sovražnike. Nadalje ti povem še, da ti bo Gospod zgradil hišo.

11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

Zgodilo se bo, ko bodo tvoji dnevi pretekli, da moraš oditi, da boš s svojimi očeti, da bom obudil tvoje seme za teboj, ki bo izmed tvojih sinov in jaz bom utrdil njegovo kraljestvo.

12 He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

Zgradil mi bo hišo in njegov prestol bom utrdil na veke.

13 I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;

Jaz bom njegov oče in on bo moj sin. Svoje milosti ne bom odvzel od njega, kakor sem jo odvzel tistemu, ki je bil pred teboj,

14 but I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.'

temveč ga bom postavil v svoji hiši in v svojem kraljestvu na veke in njegov prestol bo utrjen na vékomaj.‹«

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

Glede na vse te besede in glede na vse to videnje, tako je Natán govoril Davidu.

16 Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said: 'Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that Thou hast brought me thus far?

Kralj David je prišel in se usedel pred Gospodom ter rekel: »Kdo sem jaz, oh Gospod Bog in kaj je moja hiša, da si me privedel sèm?

17 And this was a small thing in Thine eyes, O God; but Thou hast spoken of Thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me after the manner of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

Vendar je bila to majhna stvar v tvojih očeh, oh Bog, kajti govoril si tudi o hiši svojega služabnika za oddaljeni čas, ki pride in si se ozrl name glede na stan človeka visoke stopnje, oh Gospod Bog.

18 What can David say yet more unto Thee concerning the honour which is done to Thy servant? for Thou knowest Thy servant.

Kaj ti lahko David še govori glede časti tvojega služabnika? Kajti poznaš svojega služabnika.

19 O LORD, for Thy servant's sake, and according to Thine own heart, hast Thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

Oh Gospod, zaradi svojega služabnika in glede na svoje lastno srce, si storil vso to veličino v tem, da si dal spoznati vse te velike stvari.

20 O LORD, there is none like Thee, neither is there any God beside Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Oh Gospod, nobenega ni podobnega tebi niti ni nobenega Boga poleg tebe, glede na vse, kar smo slišali s svojimi ušesi.

21 And who is like Thy people Israel, a nation one in the earth, whom God went to redeem unto Himself for a people, to make Thee a name by great and tremendous things, in driving out nations from before Thy people, whom Thou didst redeem out of Egypt.

Kateri narod na zemlji je podoben tvojemu ljudstvu Izraelu, ki ga je Bog šel odkupit, da postane njegovo lastno ljudstvo, da si si naredil ime veličine in strašnosti s pregonom narodov izpred svojega ljudstva, ki si ga odkupil iz Egipta?

22 For Thy people Israel didst Thou make Thine own people for ever; and Thou, LORD, becamest their God.

Kajti svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu si storil, da bo tvoje lastno ljudstvo na veke; in ti, Gospod, postajaš njihov Bog.

23 And now, O LORD, let the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as Thou hast spoken.

Zato sedaj, Gospod, naj bo stvar, ki si jo govoril glede svojega služabnika in glede njegove hiše, utrjena na veke in stôri, kakor si rekel.

24 Yea, let it be established, and let Thy name be magnified for ever, that it may be said: The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel; and the house of David Thy servant shall be established before Thee.

Naj bo to celo utrjeno, da bo tvoje ime lahko poveličano na veke, rekoč: › Gospod nad bojevniki je Izraelov Bog, celó Bog Izraelu‹ in naj bo hiša tvojega služabnika Davida utrjena pred teboj.

25 For Thou, O my God, hast revealed to Thy servant that Thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath Thy servant taken heart to pray before Thee.

Kajti ti, oh moj Bog, si povedal svojemu služabniku, da mu hočeš zgraditi hišo, zato je tvoj služabnik v svojem srcu našel, da moli pred teboj.

26 And now, O LORD, Thou alone art God, and hast promised this good thing unto Thy servant;

In sedaj, Gospod, ti si Bog in to dobroto si obljubil svojemu služabniku.

27 and now it hath pleased Thee to bless the house of Thy servant, that it may continue for ever before Thee; for Thou, O LORD, hast blessed, and so let Thy servant be blessed for ever.'

Zdaj naj ti torej to ugaja, da blagosloviš hišo svojega služabnika, da bo ta lahko pred teboj na veke, kajti ti blagoslavljaš, oh Gospod in to bo blagoslovljeno na veke.«
