1 Chronicles 17

1 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, See, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remains under curtains.

A kad David sjeðaše kod kuæe svoje, reèe David Natanu proroku: gle, ja stojim u kuæi od kedrova drveta, a kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega pod zavjesima.

2 Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.

A Natan reèe Davidu: što ti je god u srcu, èini, jer je Bog s tobom.

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

Ali onu noæ doðe rijeè Božija Natanu govoreæi:

4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus says the LORD, You shall not build me an house to dwell in:

Idi i reci Davidu sluzi mojemu: ovako veli Gospod: ti mi neæeš sazidati kuæe da u njoj nastavam.

5 For I have not dwelled in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

Kad nijesam nastavao u kuæi otkad izvedoh Izrailja do danas, nego sam išao od šatora do šatora i od naslona do naslona,

6 Wherever I have walked with all Israel, spoke I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have you not built me an house of cedars?

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

7 Now therefore thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that you should be ruler over my people Israel:

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

8 And I have been with you wherever you have walked, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

I bjeh s tobom kuda si god išao, i istrijebih sve neprijatelje tvoje ispred tebe, i stekoh ti ime kao što je ime velikih ljudi na zemlji.

9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

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

10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you an house.

I od onoga dana kad sam postavio sudije nad narodom svojim Izrailjem; i pokorih sve neprijatelje tvoje; nego ti javljam da æe ti Gospod sazidati kuæu.

11 And it shall come to pass, when your days be expired that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

I kad se navrše dani tvoji da otideš k ocima svojim, podignuæu sjeme tvoje nakon tebe, koje æe biti izmeðu sinova tvojih, i utvrdiæu carstvo njegovo.

12 He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

On æe mi sazidati dom, i utvrdiæu prijesto njegov dovijeka.

13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before you:

Ja æu mu biti otac, i on æe mi biti sin; a milosti svoje neæu ukloniti od njega kao što sam uklonio od onoga koji bješe prije tebe.

14 But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for ever more.

Nego æu ga utvrditi u domu svom i u carstvu svom dovijeka, i prijesto æe njegov stajati dovijeka.

15 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.

16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me till now?

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

17 And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; for you have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

I to ti se èini malo, Bože, nego si govorio i za dom sluge svojega na dugo vremena, i postarao si mi se za tu slavu zakonom èovjeèijim, Gospode Bože.

18 What can David speak more to you for the honor of your servant? for you know your servant.

Šta æe još David da ti govori o èasti sluge tvojega, kad ti znaš slugu svojega?

19 O LORD, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

Gospode, sluge svojega radi i po srcu svojemu èiniš svu ovu veliku stvar, obznanjujuæi sve ove velike stvari.

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

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

21 And what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make you a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before your people whom you have redeemed out of Egypt?

Jer koji je narod na zemlji kao tvoj narod Izrailj? radi kojega je Bog išao da ga iskupi da mu bude narod, i da steèe sebi ime velikim i strašnim djelima izgoneæi narode ispred naroda svojega, koji si iskupio iz Misira.

22 For your people Israel did you make your own people for ever; and you, LORD, became their God.

Jer si uèinio narod svoj Izrailja svojim narodom dovijeka; a ti si im, Gospode, Bog.

23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as you have said.

I tako, Gospode, rijeè koju si obrekao sluzi svojemu i domu njegovu neka bude tvrda dovijeka, i uèini kako si rekao.

24 Let it even be established, that your name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David your servant be established before you.

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

25 For you, O my God, have told your servant that you will build him an house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray before you.

Jer si ti, Bože moj, javio sluzi svojemu da æeš mu sazidati dom, zato se sluga tvoj usudi da ti se pomoli.

26 And now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this goodness to your servant:

Tako Gospode, ti si Bog, i obrekao si sluzi svojemu to dobro.

27 Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may be before you for ever: for you bless, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.

Budi dakle voljan i blagoslovi dom sluge svojega da bude dovijeka pred tobom; jer kad ti, Gospode, blagosloviš, biæe blagosloven dovijeka.
