1 Chronicles 17
1 After David began to live in his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It does not seem right that] I am here living in a palace made of cedar [wood], but Yahweh’s Sacred Chest is kept inside a tent!”
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 Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you are thinking about doing, do it, because God is with/guiding you.”
Natan odgovori Davidu: “Što ti je god na srcu, čini, jer je Bog s tobom.”
3 But that night God spoke [MTY] to Nathan. He said,
Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Božja riječ:
4 “Go and tell my servant David that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one who should build a temple for me to live in.
“Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ti mi nećeš sagraditi kuće da prebivam u njoj.
5 I have not lived in any building, from the day that I brought the people of Israel up [out of Egypt] until now. Instead, I have [lived in a tent], moving from one place to another with [the Israelis] when they moved to other places [DOU].
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 Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never [RHQ] said to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead [MET] them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
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 Therefore, this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘I, the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and I appointed you] to be the ruler of my Israeli people.
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 I have (been with/helped) you wherever you have gone, and I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. And now I will cause you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of the greatest men [who have ever lived] on 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 Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed them. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give not allow them to [be attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
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,
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 When your life ends [EUP], and you [die and] go to be with your ancestors [who have died], I will appoint one of your sons to become king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
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 is the one who will [arrange for] a temple to be built for me. And I will enable his descendants to be kings [MTY] of Israel forever.
On će mi sagraditi dom, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.
13 I will be [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me. I stopped loving [Saul, ] the one who was the king before you became king, but I will never stop loving your son.
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 I will cause him to rule over my people [MTY], and his kingdom will endure forever [DOU].’”
Utvrdit ću ga u svojem domu i u svom kraljevstvu zauvijek, i prijestolje će mu čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'”
15 So Nathan reported to David everything that Yahweh had revealed to him.
Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.
16 Then David went [into the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh my God, I am certainly not [RHQ] worthy for you to have done all these things for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
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 “And O God, now, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations. Yahweh my God, you have acted toward me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
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 more can I, David, say to you [for honoring me]? Although you know very well what I am like,
Pa što da ti još David govori o slavi tvoga sluge; tÓa ti poznaješ svoga slugu!
19 Yahweh, for my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done these great things [for me], and you have revealed to me these things [that you are promising to do].
Jahve, radi svoga sluge i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.
20 “Yahweh, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, which is what we have always heard.
Jahve, nema takvoga kakav si ti, niti ima Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.
21 And there is no nation in the world like Israel [RHQ]. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you rescued. You performed great and awesome miracles, rescuing our ancestors from [being slaves in] Egypt, and expelling the people of other people-groups [who were in Canaan].
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 You have caused us your Israeli people to belong to you forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our God!
Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.
23 “And now Yahweh, I pray that you will cause the things that you have promised to do for me and my descendants [MTY] to be fulfilled forever.
Zato sada, Jahve, neka bude čvrsta dovijeka riječ koju si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.
24 When that happens, you [MTY] will be famous forever. And people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels, is the God who rules Israel!’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants [MTY] of mine who will rule.
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 “You, my God, have revealed to me that you will cause [some of] my descendants to become kings. So I am brave enough to pray like this to you.
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 Yahweh, you are God! You have promised to do these good things for me.
Uistinu, Jahve, ti si Bog i ti si ovo lijepo obećanje dao svome sluzi.
27 And now you, Yahweh, have [promised to] bless my descendants [MTY], in order that they will continue to rule forever. That will happen because you, Yahweh, are the one who has blessed them, and you will keep blessing them forever.”
Zato se sada udostoj blagosloviti dom svoga sluge da ostane dovijeka pred tobom, jer kad ti, Jahve, blagosloviš, bit će blagoslovljen zasvagda.”
