1 Chronicles 17
1 It happened that after the king had settled in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is staying under 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 Then Nathan said to David, “Go, do what is in your heart, for God is with you.”
Natan odgovori Davidu: “Što ti je god na srcu, čini, jer je Bog s tobom.”
3 But that same night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Ali još iste noći dođe Natanu ova Božja riječ:
4 “Go and tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: You will not build me a house in which to live.
“Idi i reci mome sluzi Davidu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Ti mi nećeš sagraditi kuće da prebivam u njoj.
5 For I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought up Israel to this present day. Instead, I have been living in a tent, a tabernacle, in various places.
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 In all places I have moved among all Israel, did I ever say anything to any of Israel's leaders whom I appointed to shepherd my people, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”'”
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 “Now then, tell my servant David, 'This is what Yahweh of hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, so that you would be ruler over 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 I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are 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 I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them there, so that they may live in their own place and be troubled no more. No longer will wicked people oppress them, as they did before,
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 as they were doing from the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Then I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that I, Yahweh, will build you a 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 It will come about that when your days are fulfilled for you to go to your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, and for one of your own descendants, I will establish his kingdom.
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 will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
On će mi sagraditi dom, a ja ću utvrditi njegovo prijestolje zauvijek.
13 I will be a father to him, and he will be my son. I will not take my covenant faithfulness away from him, as I took it from Saul, who ruled before you.
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 set him over my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.'”
Utvrdit ću ga u svojem domu i u svom kraljevstvu zauvijek, i prijestolje će mu čvrsto stajati zasvagda.'”
15 Nathan spoke to David and reported to him all these words, and he told him about the entire vision.
Natan prenese Davidu sve te riječi i cijelo viđenje.
16 Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh; he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my family, that you have brought me to this point?
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 For this was a small thing in your sight, God. You have spoken of your servant's family for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, Yahweh 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 more can I, David, say to you? You have honored your servant. You have given your servant special recognition.
Pa što da ti još David govori o slavi tvoga sluge; tÓa ti poznaješ svoga slugu!
19 Yahweh, for your servant's sake, and to fulfill your own purpose, you have done this great thing to reveal all your great deeds.
Jahve, radi svoga sluge i po svome srcu učinio si sve ovo veliko djelo, obznanivši ove veličajnosti.
20 Yahweh, there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, just as we have always heard.
Jahve, nema takvoga kakav si ti, niti ima Boga osim tebe, po svemu što smo ušima svojim čuli.
21 For what nation on earth is like your people Israel, whom you, God, rescued from Egypt as a people for yourself, to make a name for yourself by great and awesome deeds? You drove out nations from before your people, whom you rescued from 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 You made Israel your own people forever, and you, Yahweh, became their God.
Tako si učinio svoj izraelski narod svojim narodom zauvijek, a ti si mu, Jahve, postao Bogom.
23 So now, Yahweh, may the promise that you made concerning your servant and his family be established forever. Do as you have spoken.
Zato sada, Jahve, neka bude čvrsta dovijeka riječ koju si dao svome sluzi i njegovu domu i učini kako si obrekao.
24 May your name be established forever and be great, so the people will say, 'Yahweh of hosts is the God of Israel,' while the house of me, David, your servant is established before you.
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 you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. That is why I, your servant, have found courage to pray 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 Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have made this good promise to your servant:
Uistinu, Jahve, ti si Bog i ti si ovo lijepo obećanje dao svome sluzi.
27 Now it has pleased you to bless your servant's house, that it may continue forever before you. You, Yahweh, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
Zato se sada udostoj blagosloviti dom svoga sluge da ostane dovijeka pred tobom, jer kad ti, Jahve, blagosloviš, bit će blagoslovljen zasvagda.”
